Blake’s body contained an indescribable amount of terrifying power.
Terrifying power surged incessantly within his body. The force collided with his body repeatedly.
In that instant, he felt a strong sense of danger.
It felt like the energy would explode out of his body if he did not release it. Blake kept trying to deplete the violent energy within his body through various means.
During this process, the energy in his body was constantly being consumed.
Just then, Blake felt like his body was about to collapse, but he did not give up.
At this moment, he was still using all sorts of techniques to exhaust this vast amount of energy.
This was a strange phenomenon.
Blake’s body seemed to be covered by a layer of black armor.
The air around his body turned pitch-black, and there was a layer of faint flames on the surface of his limbs and arms.
There were mysterious patterns on his body. These patterns looked like runes, but they also looked like some sort of mysterious symbol.
At this moment, the surface of Blake’s body was surrounded by circles of energy due to the effect of these lines. There seemed to be tiny sparks of flames within these circles of energy.
Just then, the flames became extremely active.
Blake’s body seem to have become incomparably agile.
The black feathers around his body became nimble. It was as if they had a life of their own. Flames flickered on the black feathers.
At this moment, his surroundings seemed to have turned into a world of flames.
A destructive aura emanated from his body.
This was the effect of Blake’s SSS-rank skill, [Nine Golden Crow Transformations].
In that instant, Blake possessed a power that far exceeded his own. It was as if an ancient Golden Crow had appeared and caused the heavens and earth to shake.
This move was simply way too powerful. In an instant, he seemed to have surpassed the scope of an ordinary person and turned into a huge Golden Crow.
At this moment, his body contained a power that was capable of destroying everything.
Blake had never felt such power before.
After that, Blake dispelled the $SS-rank skill, [Nine Golden Crow Transformations], and transformed back into an ordinary human.
Blake recalled all the problems that he had experienced after transforming. He then realized that the potential in his body had been fully brought out. His abilities had become stronger and more stable.
He could easily deal with the experts of the Dark Organization now. He felt extremely glad.
On the other side, Chen Feng, Chen Yu, Sakurai Longzi, and Park Yunmo were waiting for Blake in the Kunlun Mystic Realm. They had waited a long time for his return, but he had yet to appear before them.
After ten days, Chen Feng and the other members were teleported out of the Kunlun Mystic Realm. They appeared at the entrance of the Kunlun Mystic Realm once again.
Chen Feng had gained a lot during this period of time. In this short period of time, he had already reached Level 50 and awakened the $SS-rank innate skill, [Reversal of Yin and Yang].
Of course, the person who had benefited the most from the Kunlun Mystic Realm was none other than Chen Yu. She had obtained Hou Yi’s legacy and learned how to destroy souls.
Although she could only use it once a day, it was still an extremely powerful skill. Furthermore, she would be able to use the skill as she wished once her her abilities were upgraded.
Just as the few of them exited the Kunlun Mystic Realm, the second-in-command of the (Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets], Zhai Ruili, immediately announced some news to the members of [Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets] that had walked out of the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
[Pandora’s Box] from Greek mythology had appeared! Everyone was shocked when they heard this news.
After hearing this news, Chen Feng could not help but fall into deep thought.
During this period of time, things related to myths had appeared one after another. It was as if something major was about to happen.
Chen Feng was most concerned about the fact that his divine artifact, the [Sea Calming Scepter], emitted a faint glow in his inventory when he heard about the [Pandora’s Box]. This had never happened before!
Did the [Pandora’s Box] have some special connection with the [Sea Calming Scepter]?
Pandora was the first human woman that Zeus had created. He did it to take revenge on humans.
That was because Prometheus, one of the Gods, had angered Zeus by caring too much about humans.
Zeus first ordered Hephaestus, the god of fire, to use mix water and earth to create a lovely woman with the image of the goddess.
He then ordered Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, to drenched the woman in hormones that drove men crazy.
Athena, the goddess that teaches women to weave and create beautiful clothes of all colors, made the woman look even more vibrant and charming.
After everything was done, Zeus sent Hermes, the god of messengers, to instill his sly, deceitful, cheating, and stealing personality within the woman. They finally finished creating the woman.
The gods helped her to put on her clothes. She wore a bunny hat and pearl necklaces. She was as beautiful as a bride.
Hermes suggested, “Let’s call this woman Pandora. Let her be a gift from the Gods to humans.” The Gods agreed with his suggestion.
In ancient Greek, “Pan” meant everything, and “Dora” referred to a gift.
When Zeus fought for Olympus, he managed to ascend the throne with the help of Prometheus and his brother, Epimetheus.
Prometheus’ name had the connotations of being “farsighted”
Meanwhile, the name of his brother, Epimetheus, meant “regret”. Therefore, both of them acted just like their names. Prometheus was a deep-thinker whereas Epimetheus was always full of regret.
After the creation of Pandora, she was given to Epimetheus under Zeus’ arrangement.
He chose to give her to Epimetheus because he knew that Prometheus would not accept his gift.
Epimetheus accepted her. At the wedding, Zeus ordered each of the Gods to place a gift in a box for Pandora.
Nobody knew whether the gifts of the Gods were good or bad.
Epimetheus’s twin brother, Prometheus, warned Epimetheus never to accept a gift from Zeus, especially a woman. That was because women are dangerous creatures.
As characterized by his name, Epimetheus began to regret his decision not long after he married Pandora.
Pandora’s biggest weakness was her curiosity.
Since their marriage, she had been constantly trying to open the small box that the Gods had gifted to her, but Epimetheus was always wary of her curiosity. He knew that the gifts in the box might not all be good.
One day, Pandora’s curiosity overpowered everything.
She waited until Epimetheus left. She then opened the box. A cloud of smoke rushed out as all the gifts were released. Ths box contained happiness, plague, grief, friendship, disaster, love, and so on.
Before Pandora opened the box, humans did not suffer any disasters and lived peaceful lives. This was because all the viral diseases iof the world were locked in boxes, thus shielding humans from all torture.
Pandora was terrified. Amidst her panic, Pandora covered the large box at once, but it was too late. “Hope” was the only thing left in the box.
Therefore, even if humans were constantly suffering and being tormented by life, they would always be able to motivate themselves with the precious hope in their hearts.
Hope always existed before death, and life was filled with beautiful hope.
To this day, it had always been the source of humanity’s motivation to live on. This was because it brought endless “hope” to humanity. No matter what kind of hardships humans faced, it was the only consolation for their misfortune.
