Chapter 509
509 – Archgod [1] Statue
In the 1st Warlock Dynasty era, the runes inscribed on the Warlock towers in the Brilliant Ancient Capital were esoteric and almost undecipherable. Few Infinity Warlocks could decipher them. But in the modern era, those runes have been long since thoroughly studied, and any Infinity Warlock could easily break them.
However, even if the method was known, Yang Feng and the other Starry Sky Warlocks could not destroy runes bearing Infinity Warlock rank power.
Due to the continued progress made throughout the ages, if a Moonlight Warlock from the 1st Warlock Dynasty era came across a modern Moonlight Warlock, they would have the crap beaten out of them. Only heaven defying experts like the Time Lord could suppress modern Moonlight Warlocks when in the same rank.
When Yang Feng’s group of three crossed a street, a handsome Warlock in black stepped out from the side, an indifferent look on his face.
The Warlock in black glanced coldly at the three people. With a look of vigilance in his eyes, he stepped back into the street he came from and disappeared.
Those who could cross the four areas were the geniuses among Starry Sky Warlocks. After reaching the Brilliant Ancient Capital, there must be many treasures on their bodies. The Warlock in black was vigilant of Yang Feng and them, afraid that they may harbor evil designs.
Yang Feng and his party crossed one street after another before coming to a Warlock tower emitting an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
“Right here!” Luo Mingyan smiled excitedly, took out a black page, silently recited an incantation, and pressed the black page on the wall next to the gate of the Warlock tower, and a black light flashed. A black gate suddenly opened.
Luo Mingyan ran inside without hesitation, and Mei Yiyi quickly followed suit.
Yang Feng stepped into the black gate. His vision blurred, and then a huge palace appeared in front of him.
There was a spiral staircase leading to the upper floors of the palace.
At the entrance of the staircase, there stood two 20-meter-tall statues quite similar to humans with ripping muscles, engraved with countless runes, and exuding domineering auras. There was a bloody imprint on the forehead of one statue and a fang imprint on the forehead of the other one.
When Yang Feng saw the two statues, his heart shook: “Are these archgod statues?”
Before the Time Lord created the 1st Warlock Dynasty, the Cangzhi Plane was dominated by archgods. Powerful archgods possessed the terrifying power of moving mountains and draining seas.
In the archgod age, humans were merely slaves, playthings, and even food of the archgods.
Archgods possessed powerful physical aptitudes. Once they matured, they were comparable to fiend lords in strength, and possessed long lifespans. The lifespan of archgods exceeded 10 million years, while the lifespan of the oldest archgods has even exceeded 100 million years.
The archgods of the Cangzhi Plane were extremely formidable, and the existences of the other planes didn’t dare to provoke them. The only weakness of the archgods was reproduction. Pureblood archgods were extremely difficult to birth. It could take more than a year for a new archgod to be born in the Cangzhi Plane. Moreover, archgods were extremely proud, and only intermarried within the race. Mixed-race offsprings were treated as slaves.
The Time Lord rose abruptly in the archgod era. Leading the humans who have already achieved some success, he blazed a way through all manner of obstacles and step by step suppressed and killed archgods. After fighting for more than 1,000 years, he finally annihilated the archgods and established the 1st Warlock Dynasty, letting the humans dominate the Cangzhi Plane.
The Brilliant Sage was one of the 12 Holy Spirit Warlocks who followed the Time Lord. As such, it wasn’t unusual to have two archgod statues sealed here.
Apparently sensing the aura of life, the two statues radiated light and slowly recovered some luster, and Moonlight Warlock rank auras gradually spread from them.
“Advanced Petrification!” When Luo Mingyan saw this, her face changed, and she silently recited an incantation and pointed with her finger, and a stream of gray light shot out and enveloped one archgod statue.
Mei Yiyi also cast Advanced Petrification, and a stream of gray light enveloped the other archgod statue.
Under the effect of Advanced Petrification, the two archgod statues who were recovering their fleshly bodies began to petrify, and their aura of life gradually disappeared.
Advanced Petrification was a level-5 single target spell that was specialized in restraining powerful beings that recovered their fleshly bodies from petrification. It was of great use in many relics.
In the 1st Warlock Dynasty era, many powerful experts liked to seal powerful archgods with Petrification, and have them serve as guardians of their relics. After many relic explorations, the modern human Warlocks have mastered the way to deal with these relic guardians, which was not to let the relic guardians resurrect, and directly petrify them.
Just before the two relic guardians were completely petrified, the fang imprint on the forehead of an archgod suddenly burst out, and an odd maw appeared on the head of the archgod and strangely devoured the two streams light in an instant.
Moonlight Warlock rank auras slowly spread from the two statues.
Luo Mingyan’s face fell and she shouted: “No! It failed! Run!”
As the most powerful beings in the Cangzhi Plane, archgods were virtually invincible in the same rank. In the era of the Time Lord, only the unique experts who have established a world could compete with the archgods of the same rank. In his days, even the Time Lord has been defeated by archgods many times. Only when he established a complete world, was he able to overpower archgods of the same rank, and eventually reached the top.
The two Moonlight Warlocks rank archgods weren’t existences against whom trifling quasi-Moonlight Warlock could contend.
Luo Mingyan’s words have just fallen, when Yang Feng blurred into motion, appeared behind the archgod with the fang imprint on the forehead, and sent a Primal Chaos Annihilation Fist blasting towards the archgod’s head.
The maw on the archgod’s head turned rapidly and strangely moved to the back, and then bit at Yang Feng.
Covered in Battle Demon Armor, carrying the power of annihilation, Yang Feng’s fist slammed into the archgod’s maw. An immense force broke out in an instant, and the archgod’s maw together with its fleshly body shattered into countless fragments.
Luo Mingyan and Mei Yiyi swiftly recited incantations and pointed at the archgod with the blood imprint inscribed on the forehead, and streams of gray light entered the archgod statue and sealed it completely.
Yang Feng stepped forward and unleashed a Primal Chaos Annihilation Fist onto the remaining archgod statue, and a violent and outrageous force erupted instantly and blew the archgod statue apart.
“Impressive. Before it recovered completely, it actually injured me!” With a dignified look in his eyes, Yang Feng looked at his right hand, which had several bloody holes left behind by the bite. Due to the effect of some queer power, the wounds healed at a snail’s pace.
After he practiced the Primal Chaos Imperishable Body, although Yang Feng’s cultivation base was only at the intermediate Starry Sky Warlock rank, but his physique was already comparable to that of a quasi-Glorious Dawn Warlock, and his physical healing ability was comparable to that of many extraordinary life forms.
Ordinary injuries could be healed within a few breaths of time. The wounds caused by archgod healed extremely slowly because the bite of the archgod contained law force, which counteracted Yang Feng’s physical healing ability, and made it difficult to fully recover.
Reportedly, the eight Warlock Emperors died early because they suffered a grievous law injuries in battles against experts of the same rank.
Yang Feng fished out a vial of elixir and poured it on his right hand. Sizzling sounds echoed and black smoke rose into the air. The elixir burned his right hand black, and bursts of pain transmitted from his right hand.
Yang Feng glanced at the burnt right hand and breathed a sigh of relief: “Fortunately, the archgod’s law force wasn’t strong. It seems that I have to make a weapon secret treasure. This way, even if the weapon is destroyed by law force, it won’t injure me.”
Although the elixir has burned Yang Feng’s right hand black, but the archgod’s law force has also been eliminated. His right hand exuded strong life force, and quickly healed.
Yang Feng reached out with his hand, and collected the body of the archgod with a fang imprint into a storage ring. Archgods have virtually gone extinct. This body possessed great research value, and could even be sold for a Glorious Dawn Warlock rank extraordinary life form.
Luo Mingyan and Mei Yiyi divided the body of the other archgod and showed a look of satisfaction.
