Divine Brilliance

“Ruler is making it tough for subject!”

Lu Wubing shook his head, his tone was filled with self mocking intent, “I only went through the second to seventh layer of this Nine Extreme Death Jail. I only understand these few layers the most. I have both never heard of or been to the eighth and ninth layers. The Lu Family has always been secretive of the Death Jail, not only not allowing outsiders to know details, but also keeping it a secret to people of the family…”

Zong Shou was slightly disappointed. It seemed like this person had personally experienced this Light Needle Death Jail and Thousand Blade Death Jail when he was young.

Before this, he felt that it was a miracle that Lu Wubing didn’t lose his mind in this place.

Thinking about it now, this person was actually able to safely escape this Nine Extreme Death Jail and stand right in front of him…

He always thought that in terms of will and determination, there was no one in this world that was stronger than him. Now it might not seem so.

He sighed. His Spiritual Sense had locked onto another Star Dao Seed which was 1,000 miles away.

The moment he wanted to teleport, he felt a huge pain in his eyes once more. It affected his mind and instantly spread to his entire brain.

The Vital Energy within his body flowed against the current and toward his eyes. The burning sensation in his bones and marrow rose up once more.

The Blood Spirit Power that dissipated two hours ago was back once more.

The gate that had disappeared in his vision appeared once more. It was like there were numerous voices that were shouting and screaming into his ears.

Zong Shou had an ugly expression on his face as he was barely holding on. He used Spiritual Sense to sweep across his body at every suspicious point.

This time he actually saw where the strange thing stemmed from.

“It actually is Hanxi!”

At this moment, the Saint Fire Ant Queen was huddled up in a ball. It wasn’t in a cocoon shape like before, but its body was being wrapped in thin silver threads.

It was as if it was cleaning and merging with those few mutated Beast Pellets that he snatched over.

The few Spiritual Beasts that Hanxi chose to swallow had to do with fire and light.

A full 8 either silver or red Beast Pellets were wrapped up by its 6 pairs of wings. It gave off lots of light and fierce heat.

Hanxi itself was wrapped by silver flames and entered a deep slumber.

Just at this moment, waves of weird Essence Power were injected over through the Common Life Formation between man and beast.

Coherent information was shared between man and beast.

These weird Essence Powers caused his Vital Energy to boil up and inject into his eyes.

Zong Shou found it really weird. This time it was because of Hanxi, then what was the last time?

The first time when it acted up, Hanxi didn’t swallow any pellet. What was the cause the previous time…

This time was also different from the helplessness he felt before.

At this moment, there was a thin and hard-to-see crack on that barrier that seemed impenetrable under the relentless attacks of his Vital Energy.

He could feel lots of red flame light flow out from this crack.

It caused his eyes to burn and was extremely painful and unbearable.

There seemed to be something which was deeply imprinted into the depths of his Soul Ocean.

However, when he looked closely, there was nothing there.

“There is another legend of this Nine Extreme Death Jail. That it is actually not a true death jail and there is another exit at the ninth layer. One just needs to charge to the depths of it and one would be able to leave. This is why criminals who were sent here will think of ways to head to the upper layers to reduce their pain. There were also some who would go all out to head downwards. My parents were like that but unfortunately, they failed…”

Until he said this did he realize that Zong Shou’s situation was a little strange.

He was unable to control his body and was trembling slightly. His face was ashen white, totally drained of blood.

Before this, he only thought that Zong Shou was furious regarding his mother’s issue.

At this moment, he noticed that something wasn’t right as Zong Shou seemed to be suffering from intense pain.

However, this was just the Light Needle Death Jail, so how could it cause him such pain? The pain of the light needles scorching the body should be nothing to Zong Shou after he went through the pain of the Marrow Burning Blood Spirit Curse, not worth a mention at all.

Had the effects of the Blood Spirit Curse not totally dissipated? It shouldn’t be…

Lu Wubing’s eyes were filled with a weird look of worry as he frowned.

“Ruler is something wrong? Why not take a rest…”

Before he completed his words, he was forcefully interrupted by Zong Shou’s voice.

“I am fine!”

He took in a deep breath as Zong Shou forcefully suppressed this pain.

Luckily, as time went on the Essence Power from Hanxi slowly weakened.

His bones and marrow were still burning but it wasn’t as intense as before.

It had slowly reduced to a level that he could bear.

What he found a little wasteful was that the gate wasn’t forced open. Even that crack was healing up.

Only at this moment did Zong Shou start to feel curious about the barrier in his eyes. He wanted to know what was behind it. What kind of changes to his bloodline were happening to cause him so much pain…

“It should just be the remaining bits of the curse, no worries! The Spiritual Energy in this world is thin and cultivating here will just waste True Qi.”

The moment he said this, Zong Shou looked impassively at Lu Wubing.

Speaking of which, the person who cast the curse was him.

This person could really bear to blood sacrifice dozens of family members just to chase him.

However, thinking about what he went through in his life, Zong Shou wasn’t surprised.

In his heart, he probably didn’t treat the people with the same bloodline as family. He probably never had the concept of family.

He felt really internally conflicted. This person was really intelligent but he was too vicious. He couldn’t let down his guard against him.

However, looking at it now, he couldn’t blame him for this Marrow Burning Spiritual Blood Curse.

Lu Wubing was slightly startled and looked into Zong Shou’s eyes, only to see that several extremely profound fire-colored runes appeared.

They looked no different from normal runes.

However, just one look and Lu Wubing felt like the blood in his body was burning up without any flames.

In his Soul Ocean, they were like waves thrashing around.

“Lu Family World Burning Blood Eye?”

The moment such a thought flashed in his mind, Lu Wubing frowned and shook his head slightly.

It didn’t seem like it…

However, before he was able to think about it, Zong Shou swept over with his Soul Power. Under the blistering sun he continued to search the space for the entrance to the fifth layer.
