Nobilis of War

Chapter 1555 The Purple-crystal King Gained The Benefit

"No need to thank us. We only did what we thought was right. Scott decided to stay behind in the

human race. Besides, the Archean Dragon Soul left in your halberd has proved to be advantageous to

Scott," the Purple Gold Dragon Ancestor said, humility resonating from his tone.

"Have you been able to find that..." Finally breaking his silence, the Yellow Gold Dragon Ancestor

sensed something strange and alerted the Purple Gold Dragon Ancestor.

"No... Human ancestor!" As soon as the Purple Gold Dragon Ancestor confirmed it for himself, he was

left shocked, unable to string the right words to say. The human ancestor had the aura of the supreme

god radiating from himself!

What did that mean? It meant only one thing: the human ancestor had committed the taboo method to

forcefully progress his cultivation level by leaps and bounds through triggering the Archean Dragon

Soul to reach that of the Supreme God Realm. The ones who dared step over this boundary had their

fates sealed. They would have to atone for the extreme act at the cost of their life.

"No... This can't be..."

Sighing with deep regret, the two dragon ancestors hung their heads, feeling helpless.

"It's all our fault. If we came on time, you wouldn't have to resort to such extremities,"

The two dragon ancestors were overcome with grief, their voice cracking between their words.

"I'm the one who made this bed, and I am the one who shall lie in it. You have no share in this situation.

This is my fate, and I shall embrace it. After my passing, I want you two to ensure the survival of the

younger generation of the human race in my stead. If you're unable to dissolve the looming strife, then

flee with the remaining remarkable talents of the human race to continue on living. Thank you, both of

you, for everything you've done so far. I am deeply indebted to you."

Keeping his dignity intact, the human ancestor voiced his wishes without breaking his composure and

bowed before the two dragon ancestors.

"You don't have to thank us." Returning his gesture, the dragon ancestors quickly bowed to him with

mutual respect. "We promise that we will spare no effort to protect the human race against the dangers

that await them. And if push comes to shove, we will do what must be done. You can rest assured. We

won't let you down."

Hearing their reassuring statements, the human ancestor smiled to them and nodded. With their

promise honoring his wishes, he felt relieved.

"Scott's Archean Dragon Soul has returned to his body. It will take about half a month for him to fully

recover. By then, he will be able to revert to his ancestor form. Once he awakens, please ask him what

he intends to do. Whether he wants to stay here to guard the human race or head to the abyss to assist

Darren, he holds complete freedom to choose whatever path he wants to walk on," the human ancestor

said, his hands behind his back.

"Understood. Is there anything else you want us to do for you?"

Noticing the wrinkles appear on the once flawless skin of the human ancestor, the dragon ancestors

lowered their gazes, unable to take in the painful reality.

Accepting his fate, the human ancestor sighed and shook his head, failing to mask his sorrow.

The exchange between the two dragon ancestors and the human ancestor was overheard by the

human masters, causing them to learn about the truth.

As if flicking off a switch, the atmosphere shifted its course, filling everyone's hearts with irrefutable

misery. The reigning silence told them eloquently, cruelly, that their worst fears were coming to life.

Defeated, the human masters fell to their knees, desperately trying to keep themselves together. The

only sound that dominated the space was that of quiet sobs escaping the grief-stricken followers of the

human ancestor.

The tragic news traveled from ear to ear, plaguing their hearts with a deep sense of inescapable

depression.

The most honorable and respectable leader of the human race had cut his life short, all for the sake of

the human race.

"Ancestor..."

As the news spread like wildfire through the masters, tens of thousands of rule cultivators descended.

Among them was a handsome young man who stepped out of space and planted himself beside the

human ancestor.

His demeanor was bone-chilling cold. Clad in a vibrant cyan robe with dragon patterns etched across,

he caused heads to turn. His transparent silver eyes were clear as crystals, yet mysterious. The aura

surrounding him had a predominant presence, boasting immeasurable reserves of unfathomable

power.

"Humphrey, you came."

"I couldn't resist." The tragic revelation caused even the ruthless silver-eyed young man to sway from

his resolve, stealing a few sobs to portray the grief he held back inside. Overwhelmed, he clutched his

pounding heart, growing increasingly rampant with sadness in the presence of the human ancestor.

He was the real master of the Immortal Land, a rule cultivator with no equal to match his strength in the

world.

"Humphrey, you have let go of Xavier several times. I know that you miss Braxton, and it's too much to

ask since you don't have the heart to go through with it. But if the disaster cannot be evaded this time, I

hope you will head to the abyss and retrieve the other pair of silvery eyes at the earliest. Fortunately,

because of your ability, you will be able to hide in the darkest forbidden area and evade detection," the

ancestor said, addressing to Humphrey directly.

At his words, Humphrey closed his eyes, regaining his lost composure. Deep in his soul, he harbored a

complex law he did not possess, and that became his greatest obsession.

"Understood, sir."

Raising his head back up, Humphrey opened his eyes, the sadness that resided in them subsided,

replaced with renewed determination.

Meanwhile, in the relic of the abyss,

the chaotic battle raged on, yet to reach a conclusive end. More than half of the chief god's projections

were wiped out, and hundreds of human ascetic cultivators had lost their lives.

Even Heath was subjected to critical injuries. If it weren't for the dozens of rule cultivators healing him

from time to time, he wouldn't have been able to go on.

Outside the battle, Darren, Lord Feng, and Lord Starry Sword were faced with constant attacks by the

chief god's projections that managed to break away from the obstruction of the ascetic cultivators. But Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

the projections were successfully killed by the three of them in the end.

Fighting a battle that ceased to end, Darren had incurred grave injuries and was on the brink of

exhausting all of his fighting power. Even the Great Witchers and some of the ascetic cultivators were

unable to help him recover completely.

As for Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng, their condition was far better than Darren, but they didn't

boast the same strength as before.

If things went on like this, the tide of the battle would shift greatly to their opponent's side, making them

experience a crushing defeat. The god's power of the chief god's projections was limitless, and their

fighting power remained consistent throughout.

Amidst the pressuring battle weighing over their shoulders, Darren and the others were too

preoccupied to notice the presence of the Purple-crystal King.

The Purple-crystal King concealed himself at the bottom of the relic, away from sight. Since in the

beginning, he was shielded by the god's power woven by the ascetic cultivators, he remained

unscathed by the dispersing god's power.

Of course, that also had something to do with the incomplete Chief God Character he possessed,

because the destructive power of the inferior god's power from the chief god's projections would heavily

weaken under the effect of the Chief God Character fragment.

Remaining hidden, the Purple-crystal King bided his time patiently. He would wait for the chief god's

projections to shatter and their God Characters to fall.

Once they fell, the Purple-crystal King would extend his arm to capture them all.

With the God Characters at his mercy, he would forcefully smash them into his head, absorbing them

inside. The incomplete Chief God Character lying dormant in his head would later crush the God

Characters and swallow them.

Repeating this tedious process, the Purple-crystal King had devoured thousands of God Characters of

the chief god's projections, steadily stacking them and adding to his strength.

"I. Must. Kill."

Surging with violent killing intent, the Purple-crystal King's eyes flashed with the purest Killing Source

extracted from the God Characters of the chief god's projections.

In this world, the sole bearer of the Killing Source was the Killing Chief God himself.

Any other creature who tried to overstep these boundaries would be faced with sudden extermination

at the hands of the Killing Chief God. Wielding it would also increase the probability of detection, and

almost all such creatures wouldn't live to see another day.

However, all of these conditions didn't apply to the Purple-crystal King. What he possessed was not the

God Character of a Defiant Master, but the residual of the tenth Chief God Character! It was a Chief

God Character fragment acknowledged by the heaven and the earth, flaunting the ability to possess

any source at the level of the chief god!

Therefore, when the Purple-crystal King absorbed the Killing Source, the Killing Chief God couldn't pick

up on his presence.

"It seems my Chief God Character can actually steal the source of other chief gods..."

The Purple-crystal King had always pondered over the purpose of the existence of the tenth chief god,

and why he was unable to ascend to the position of the chief god but had kicked the bucket at the

hands of a formidable creature.

Now, it was like he finally uncovered the answer to the riddle that tugged at his curiosity this entire time.

It was because the tenth chief god wielded a Chief God Character that struck fear in the hearts of the

other nine chief gods.

The tenth chief god's God Character could steal away the source of the other nine chief gods, which

inadvertently posed a threat to their lives.

The information lying dormant in the archives of the tenth Chief God Character flashed before the

Purple-crystal King in the form of blurry images, as he became more powerful.

In an endless ocean of god's power, nine massive bodies floated away casually. Even if they were to

breathe, the pressure released would cause millions of stars in the void of the universe to face violent

tremors from a simple gesture.

At the very depths of the dark sea of god's power, a large dark gold body started to take shape. As if

pulling it into their influence, nine kinds of dark gold god's power spread across it, orbiting around the

body, each of which was a kind of original god's power!

After quietly existing for billions of years, nine cold spiritual senses awakened, firmly latching on to the

dark gold body.
