Chapter 3133: The Four Spirits Killing Fields
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
To Ashaâruiya, it did not feel like MO Fan was pruning the garden. It felt more like he was there to shop.
The Little Loach Pendant could hold a large amount of stuff inside. It could
suck in many souls filled with strong grudges.
What made it strong was not just its size or ability to convert energy, though. It also worked well with MO Fanâs Demon Element because they boosted each other.
Dealing with low-level Soul Essences and Soul Remnants was not too hard. Usually, these beings did not have strong souls. Once their bodies were destroyed, their souls would lose consciousness and become nothing more than a wisp of smoke.
However, at a higher level, their souls would become much stronger. Even if their bodies were destroyed, their souls could still linger in this world in various unique forms. It was impossible for creatures connected to darkness to die for real.
The Bright Blood King was at a very high level. The souls that she collected must have been rulers in some past era. Even after centuries of refining on the Dark Plane, their souls could still retain their original consciousness.
Most of the resentful souls were of a low level. They were usually those who were disgruntled or had been eliminated.
Those who displayed disdain, contempt, or even a hint of scrutiny were the
Einherjar Spirits of the era. They might be unable to escape the Bright Blood Kingâs pursuit, but that did not mean they could be easily treated as offerings by a mere human!
When they took a glimpse of MO Fanâs pendant, they noticed that its brightness seemed to hold a vast battleground filled with Einherjar Spirits. Inside this battleground, mighty beings from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago were brought back to life in this unique vessel!
Their souls were resilient and possessed independent consciousness. When they realized how unique the vessel was and learned that it was the Totem Carrier of a National Beast, their first instinct was to eliminate the pendantâs owner and become the sole master soul of the vessel!
âWhatâs wrong? Are you curious about whatâs inside?â MO Fan noticed Ashaâruiyaâs expression and smiled.
âJust a bit.â Ashaâruiya nodded.
âHey, weâre friends. How could I not satisfy your small request? Come here. Iâll undo my clothes and let you take a good look,â said MO Fan. He happily opened his collar to reveal his well-defined chest and physique from training.
MO Fanâs muscles were faintly visible. His physique was perfect for a mage.
Unlike other mages, MO Fan sometimes engaged in physical combat. No other Forbidden Mage could match him in terms of physical strength.
In simple terms, if all the worldâs Forbidden Mages accidentally entered a zone where magic was not allowed, MO Fan could easily beat them all with his strong body!
âWho cares about your body?! Iâm interested in your pendant,â Ashaâruiya said. She looked a bit shy.
This guy had no shame!
âOh, nice excuse. Want to come up and touch it?â MO Fan said proudly.
Ashaâruiya was speechless. She ignored his vain behavior and approached his exposed chest. Then, she gently touched his Little Loach Pendant.
âHey, you canât touch itâŠâ MO Fan realized that Ashaâruiya was not joking, and he quickly stopped her.
Ashaâruiyaâs fingers touched the Little Loach Pendant, and she suddenly felt her soul detach from her body and fly into the world inside the pendant!
She was shocked. She tried to run away, but Little Loach was eating. So, it did not notice that it had eaten her soul.
âUh-oh. This is bad!â MO Fan saw Ashaâruiya standing before him motionlessly.
She looked like a beautiful, elegant, and flawless ice sculpture of a woman touching MO Fanâs pendant. Her graceful curves tempted one to embrace her.
Although she looked tempting, MO Fan knew it was not the time to think about her body. free(w)ebnovel(.)com
The Little Loach Pendant had absorbed many ancient Einherjar Spirits. They were being processed, which meant that they were probably ruthless and fierce. Ashaâruiya might have to deal with attacks from all of them!
The world inside the pendant was much bigger than Ashaâruiya had thought.
She saw the endless Nether Ocean. It was strangely quiet, and it had no ripples. Lanterns shaped like jellyfish floated on its mirror-like surface. These lanterns emitted different colors and glowed softly like flames. They looked like demon eyes burning with soul flames!
However, there was more in the vast Nether Ocean. Ashaâruiya saw an ancient altar at the center of it!
This altar resembled the oldest tribal battleground of Noen. It was a battlefield from the ancient totemic era. Armor pieces lay on its surface like dragon scales. Magnificent fossilized Totemic Skeletons stood around the altar and formed a structure similar to an ancient martial arts battleground!
There were ancient walls, totems, dragon scales, divine skeletons, and the duality of black and white.
There was a large octagram on the altar, and the Azure Dragon was resting peacefully at the center!
The altar was split into black and white, and the dragonâs position marked the boundary between these two parts.
It was the boundary! It was the rule!
Thousands of Bright Blood Flowers floated on the oceanâs surface like sea anemones. They drifted from afar to this altar. The Totemic Skeletons decided which Einherjar Spirits were allowed to enter the altar.
Ashaâruiya was also slowly drifting toward it.
She had no control over her actions.
She felt like a soul that was being pulled into the underworld. She had to follow its rules.
Her soul showed her six wings. Among the many souls that were sucked in, she was the most beautiful, so she caught the attention of various demons and creatures nearby.
Ashaâruiya could hear whispers. The other Einherjar Spirits were clearly talking about her.
âA female Six-Winged Fallen Angel. Hmm. She must be delicious!â
âAngel blood is tasty. Itâs the ideal red wine for the Black Moon Night. And it would go perfectly with the meat of the noble Red Dragon. Ah, I miss those days.â A vampire who had clearly survived for thousands of years stuck her tongue out.
Her tongue resembled that of a red snake, and it was long. Even several meters away, Ashaâruiya could smell the foul odor of her saliva.
âDo you know who I am?â The vampire stared at Ashaâruiya. She seemed relaxed, but she was also examining Ashaâruiya closely.
âYouâre Lilith, the matriarch of the vampires?â Ashaâruiya was well-versed in European mythology, and she immediately recognized her by her distinctive pupils.
Vampires were representatives of European Dark Creatures. While there were various rumors about their origins, one legend came closest to the truth. Lilith wasâŠ
Well, as the Mother of Fallen, she should have her own throne on the Dark Plane.
Ashaâruiya was surprised that the Bright Blood King had kept Lilithâs Einherjar Spirit in her collection and allowed MO Fan to take it away.
âWait, youâre not a collectible. Did the Bright Blood King deliberately send you here?â A realization struck Ashaâruiya.
âHow would I know? But youâre too weak, young girl. You need my strength. Humans, angels, fallen ones, I know them all, and you fit the bill,â Lilith, the matriarch of the vampires, said with a smile. Ashaâruiya stayed silent. She was anxious.
It was Lilith!
It was not an Einherjar Spirit that a vessel could absorb easily. Lilithâs power could destroy the world inside the pendant that MO Fan had carefully built!
It was a warning from the Bright Blood King. Even if she enjoyed talking to a human leader like MO Fan, she would not allow any random person to take her collections!
Ashaâruiya needed to tell MO Fan that the flowers were poisonous!
However, she did not know how to leave this world.
She found herself drifting toward a divine skeleton. As she looked up, she saw a Dragon Sparrow!
Even though it was just a skeleton, its three eyes could seemingly see through everything, and they gleamed with authority. This suggested that it might have been a deity in ancient China!
It seemed like the Dragon Sparrow had chosen Ashaâruiya.
Her soul floated into the altar and entered the Four Spirits Killing Fields within the ancient walls.
It felt like instant teleportation.
Ashaâruiya then somehow found herself standing beneath the ancient walls of the altar.
Behind her, a colossal Dragon Sparrowâs skeleton stood tall as if it was her Guardian Spirit!
At this moment, Ashaâruiya felt a deep connection with the Dragon Sparrow Totem behind her. Even though her soul was there, her consciousness wandered elsewhere!
She blinked as she flew through the sky. Views of mountains and rivers appeared beneath her. Although she had never been to this world before, one word stood out in her mindâKunlun!
Kunlun Dragon Sparrow!
It was a significant figure in Kunlun that led millions of bird-like creatures!
However, despite its unmatched strength, it eventually declined over time. There were many powerful demons in Kunlun, and they saw through and suppressed its ancient magical techniques. Eventually, the seemingly harmless Jade Fox defeated it!
âAshaâruiya!â
Suddenly, someone called out her name. It brought her wandering consciousness back to her soul.
Ashaâruiya thought that she would return to her body, but when she looked around, she was still in the Four Spirits Killing Fields. The lifelike yet lifeless Dragon Sparrowâs skeleton was still behind her.
However, someone else was before her.
It was MO Fan!
âMO Fan? Whatâs going on?â Ashaâruiya looked around in bewilderment. Had she entered the world inside the vessel?
âItâs the world inside the vessel,â MO Fan explained.
âB-But youâre the owner of the vessel,â said Ashaâruiya.
âI canât help it. Itâs not that easy to control. When Little Loach is eating, other people canât touch it. If they do, this happens. They get pulled into the world inside the vessel. Back when I was in Easthaven, I once got sucked into a world inside another vessel too. It was a story about a monk and a girl by the seaside. It was quite a scare for Old Zhao. Right now, youâve accidentally entered the world within the Azure Dragonâs vessel,â MO Fan explained.
âWhat do we do now? How do we get out of here?â Ashaâruiya asked. Just then, she remembered something crucial and quickly informed MO Fan, âThe Bright Blood King tricked you. She sent Lilith here. Lilith isnât a Soul Remnant. Sheâs the immortal and powerful matriarch of vampires!â
âTake it easy, Ashaâruiya. Your thoughts might be all over the place now, and you see memories that arenât yours. Itâs because youâve connected with the Dragon Sparrow Totem behind you. It has chosen you to fight for it. It wants you to fulfill its long-held wish,â MO Fan explained.
âI saw it. It was once a shining presence in Kunlun, but now, itâs just a pile of bones and stones,â Ashaâruiya said.
âI anticipated this. When I decided to take the Bright Blood Kingâs treasure, I already knew that she wouldnât let me have it so easily. Itâs a test of my strength. No one wants to work with the weak, right?â MO Fan replied.
âBut thatâs Lilith,â Ashaâruiya emphasized.
âYeah, and? Once sheâs in the world of my vessel, she has to play by my rules,â said MO Fan.
âIs this an ancient battleground, where competitions from the Chinese totemic era took place?â Ashaâruiya still could not calm down from the stunning sight before her.
The ancient Greek civilization had influenced Ashaâruiya. She had always loved reading literature and had taken pride in it. However, stumbling into the ancient Chinese totemic era shocked her. Its grandeur, intensity, and ruthless competition made her realize it was another magnificent and unyielding ancient kingdom!
âAfter the Azure Dragon woke up, the world inside the vessel changed like this. The ancient wall you see now is made up of sixty-four divine skeletons. They were the Totem Beasts that vied for the position of the four National Beasts. They were once the greatest rulers, but the four National Beasts eventually defeated them,â MO Fan explained and pointed at the Four Spirits Killing Fields.
âThe National Beasts are the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Sacred Tiger, and Dark Tortoise?â
âYes, these sixty-four lost, but they almost made it as the National Beasts. They might be as strong as the four spirits, but factors like fate, luck, circumstances, era, temperament, virtues, and peopleâs admiration back then led to their failure. They ended up as part of the ancient wall,â MO Fan explained.
âAre you serious?! There are sixty-four totems nearly as powerful as the four National Beasts?!â Ashaâruiya was shocked.
Even though Greece had many ancient gods, after they rebelled against the Old
Gods, beings like the Golden Sun Tyrant Titan were no longer as formidable as
Chinaâs dormant National Beasts. In the battle of Holy City, when the Azure Dragon appeared, it shook the entire magical world. At that moment, many arrogant nations realized the true greatness of Chinaâs magical civilization.
China was going through an awakening, and it would only become stronger!
âThe figure behind you is the Dragon Sparrow. It dares to challenge the Vermilion Bird and even questions the Azure Dragon. It was once a supreme existence, but its spirit shattered after a battle with a fox. Otherwise, it would have been one of the four National Beasts instead of the Sacred Tiger and the Dark Tortoise,â MO Fan explained.
âI can sense it. That fox is from Kunlun in China, right?â Ashaâruiya asked.
âIt should be from the earliest generation of the Greenhill. Since then, Kunlun has worshiped the Fox Mother. In the ancient totemic era, some sacred beasts and immortals didnât get along with humans. The one from Kunlun was one of them. It was not interested in being one of the four National Beasts,â MO Fan said.
âSo, the Dragon Sparrow was a candidate of the National Beasts that once competed to become Kunlunâs Demon Ancestor, and it was more powerful than the Sacred Tiger and Dark Tortoise?â Ashaâ ruiya asked in amazement as she looked at the ancient Divine Beast. It appeared majestic and desolate in its skeletal form.
âIt wanted everything, which resulted in it getting nothing. However, no descendant has ever denied its power. Now that it has chosen you, itâs not a bad thing,â MO Fan explained.
âWhat does that mean? Why are there skeletons of other totems in your Totem Vessel?â Ashaâruiya asked in puzzlement.
âMaybe thatâs the totem bossâs ability. Previously, Little Loach was just a powerful vessel for gathering souls, but now it has fully awakened. It has projected a scene from the totemic era into its own world and conducted a battle to decide oneâs fate with all the souls and spirits absorbed into the vessel,â MO Fan explained.
âDo you see how thereâs a division between black and white in the battleground? Black and white represent opposing sides. These sixty-four divine skeletons of totems will choose a volunteer from all the absorbed souls to fight for them. It failed in the battle for the four National Beasts, so now, it wants you to reclaim that position. Itâs not as the real National Beasts but as the king within the Four Spirits Killing Fields.â
MO Fan patiently explained things to Ashaâruiya, but she still could not fully grasp it.
After pondering for a moment, she asked, âSo, is this why your vessel can absorb such a huge amount of resentment from the Einherjar Spirits?â
âYes. Thatâs right. I make them fight each other.â MO Fan immediately nodded.
âYouâre a capitalist! You and your totem are both all about looking out for yourselves!â Ashaâruiya finally understood.
âOh God, how could you say that about me? I grew up in a society that values freedom, equality, peace, prosperity, and strength. I despise capitalists the most!â MO Fan immediately countered.
âWhat should I do now?â
âYou need to fulfill its long-standing wish, or else youâll fade away within my vessel and become my energy,â MO Fan explained.
âYou!â Ashaâruiya glared at him in disbelief.
âJust kidding! If you donât fulfill the Dragon Sparrowâs wish, youâll be trapped here forever.â MO Fan laughed.
âIâll get you!â Ashaâruiya instantly lunged at MO Fan in anger.
âItâs your fault for lusting over my body⊠Uh, I mean, itâs the pendantâs fault!
My pendant is just like my body. No one can touch it however they want. Alright, Iâll be honest. I didnât anticipate this to happen. The transformation of the Little Loach Pendant is out of my expectation,â MO Fan explained.
Honestly, since the Azure Dragon fell asleep, it had not eaten much.
When it finally had the chance to eat a lot, this happened. MO Fan did not know what to do.
âYouâre the owner of the vessel. You must be able to do something. Do I really have to enter this battle ground and fight to the end?â Ashaâruiya said.
âI canât break the rules of the Azure Dragon. Iâm just benefiting from it. But look, I came in too, didnât I? My soul came in to accompany you. You should be grateful because even I have to follow the rules of the Azure Dragon after coming in,â MO Fan said.
âIf it were any other day, I could deal with it. But now, the Little Loach has absorbed the souls of all the mortal worldâs mighty figures, which the Bright Blood King has collected over thousands of years. After being carefully chosen by the sixty-four divine skeletons of the former candidates for the National Beasts, weâre essentially challenging the greatest figures of the past in the world inside your vessel!â Ashaâruiya said.
âThis is the show the Bright Blood King wants to see. Her game has already begun. I have to go along with her game since Iâm greedy.â MO Fan seemed quite optimistic.
âIs she watching?â Ashaâruiya softly asked.
âDefinitely.â MO Fan nodded.
Outside the vessel, MO Fan and Ashaâruiya stood motionless in the palaceâs garden.
The Bright Blood King floated silently before them. Instead of looking at them, she fixed her gaze on the thin layer of water beneath their feet.
The water was like a mirror. Instead of reflecting the palace or their skeletal reflections, it showed a mirrored image of the Four Spirits Killing Fields.
The Bright Blood King elegantly walked along the reflection of the ancient wall made up of divine skeletons. She seemed to be counting something. Most of her collection was already in place.
The Golden Sun Tyrant Titan looked just like an ordinary person, but the divine markings on its body revealed its supreme status.
There was a hellhound with a human body and a dogâs head covered in golden flames. It was a rare treasure the Bright Blood King had gotten from a game with Kongsi. The Bright Blood King believed MO Fan would recognize it.
There was also an eight-winged creature from a royal bet. The Bright Blood King was not sure how strong it was, but judging from its aura, she thought its participation would make things interesting.
Then, there was an ancient mage hanging around. From what the Bright Blood King remembered, he was a sect leader from the mortal world.
Of course, there was also the Blood Bright Kingâs trusted aide and friend, Lilith.
Lillith loved games even more than the Bright Blood King and insisted on getting personally involved in everything.
She would take the excitement of this game to the next level. Even the Bright Blood King, who had not felt emotions in years, looked forward to it!
âHey, you know Iâve always been generous, right?â the Bright Blood King said with a smile.
âBrighty, youâve already given me all your valuables. I might not have space for more.â MO Fanâs physical body could still speak.
âJust find a wav. If you can handle them, theyâre yours.â
âSince youâre so kind, Iâll gladly accept it. But LilithâŠâ said MO Fan.
âNow that she has entered your world, sheâll follow your rules.â
âOkay. Since Iâm still under your control, Iâll do as you say,â MO Fan responded.
âYour world is impressive.â
âI wouldnât dare compare my small world to your grand throne,â MO Fan replied modestly.
âThe Dark Plane also started from a small world,â said the Bright Blood King.
With that, the Bright Blood King stopped speaking.
Right then, the reflection showed that the sixty-four divine skeletons on the ancient walls had selected their own representatives from countless Einherjar Spirits.
Sixty-four great figures of the past!
A great battle for supremacy was on the horizon. After thousands of years, who would emerge as the ultimate ruler of the era? The answer was about to be revealed!
The Bright Blood King would sip fine wine and watch as she waited for the result..
