Supreme Dragon Seal

Chapter 185.2 - Death Seal

.

The night was pitch black, without a trace of light.

Qi Bei sat cross-legged inside the room, fully immersed in cultivation. Golden, thick internal energy surged through his meridians like a river, flowing into the dragon-shaped image formed in his dantian. It spewed out from the dragons mouth and started another cycle. A portion of it went straight up into his middle dantian, merging with the four qi pills inside.

As this cycle repeated, Qi Bei suddenly felt a loud bang in his middle dantian. Startled out of his trance, he focused his mind on his middle dantian, only to discover that the four qi pills inside had unexpectedly turned into five.

However, the five pills still lacked the patterns of battle qi, which meant that his realm was still at the King-grade level.

Wasnt this frustrating? He had already condensed five qi pills while in the King grade realm, but hadnt made a breakthrough yet. Without the divine patterns on the qi pills, a qualitative change couldnt occur. Although his attack power had increased significantly, it wasnt like an ordinary King Grade warrior breaking through to the Earth Grade, which was a huge leap in overall strength. It was truly a world of difference, as they were separated by a major realm.

However, Qi Bei had already mentally prepared himself when his four qi pills didnt break through before, so he didnt appear overly surprised. Besides, he primarily cultivated the Divine Dragon Art, not battle qi. He cursed a few times in dissatisfaction and continued his cultivation.

But just as Qi Bei focused his mind, suddenly, a burst of explosions echoed from within his spatial ring, accompanied by vibrations from the Blade of Silence. The spatial ring Qi Bei wore was obtained from the Saint mage Wutian, and it had ten compartments. However, he could only use one compartment, while the others were sealed with dark restrictions. For the past three years, he had been absorbing the dark restrictions using the Blade of Silence placed inside.

Could it be that the restrictions have been lifted? Qi Bei wondered. Previously, he had noticed that the dark restrictions inside the spatial ring were becoming increasingly fragile, so he explored with his consciousness. As he expected, the restrictions inside had been completely absorbed by the Blade of Silence. At this moment, all nine entrances of the spatial ring were fully open.

The wealth of a Saint ranked dark mage shouldnt disappoint this young master, right? Qi Bei felt a little excited as he explored the first entrance.

Top-grade magic crystals! The space inside was filled with top-grade magic crystals, like a courtyard piled high!

Qi Beis heartbeat became irregular. He couldnt imagine that there would be such a huge amount of top-grade magic crystals. How much would they be worth in gold coins?

With these magic crystals, he didnt have to worry about the consumption of the Skybreaking Armor anymore. He could easily equip an army of one hundred thousand with the Skybreaking Armor.

Qi Bei took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. He knew that for a powerhouse like Wutian, magic crystals were probably the least valuable and most inferior things. He exited and entered the second entrance.

Its empty? Qi Bei was taken aback. The vast space was unexpectedly empty.

No, somethings not right

Qi Bei had a sense of perception that this space was different from the previous one, but he couldnt pinpoint exactly what was different. So he withdrew his consciousness from this space and immediately felt it again.

Air! Qi Bei paused. It was air. There was airflow in the second space he entered, and it didnt seem like ordinary air.

Its important to note that the space within the spatial ring is in a vacuum state and cannot accommodate living beings. And as everyone knows, air cannot be contained within a spatial ring. However, in one compartment of Wutians spatial ring, there was an abundance of strange air, which was simply unbelievable.

Qi Bei entered the third compartment and was taken aback. How come it was still empty, just filled with invisible air, just like the second compartment?

Fourth compartment, the same.

The fifth compartment, same.

The eighth compartment, same!

When Qi Bei returned from the eighth compartment to the first compartment, he couldnt help but mutter. Six entire spaces were filled with this strange air by Wutian. What kind of treasure could this air be? Could the ninth compartment also be air? That would be too disappointing.

Qi Bei didnt have much hope, so he directly entered the ninth and final compartment.

As soon as he entered, his consciousness shook violently. It was almost dissolved by a vast and suffocating aura of death. He didnt even know what was inside before he quickly withdrew his consciousness.

Such terrifying death aura. How can there be such a strong presence of death in this space? My consciousness cant penetrate it at all. Qi Bei opened his eyes, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He looked up and gazed at the dark night sky through the window, feeling unwilling.

I possess the Blade of Silence, the weapon of the God of Death. Am I afraid of this death aura? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qi Bei. Yes, if this black longsword is truly the Blade of Silence, could it protect him from being affected by that death aura?

His consciousness once again entered the spatial ring, attached to the Blade of Silence, and rushed into the ninth compartment. Indeed, as the dense and overwhelming death aura swept over, it automatically dissipated as soon as it came into contact with the Blade of Silence.

All of a sudden, the Blade of Silence started trembling violently, emitting strange reverberations.

This time, Qi Bei saw it clearly. Floating in the ninth compartment was a peculiar piece of paper adorned with flickering runes.

The Death Seal, one of the Nine Nether Seals At this moment, a message came from the Blade of Silence.

It turned out to be the Death Seal of the Netherworld! Qi Bei was both shocked and delighted. He had already discovered that the nine nether seals were not just a key to opening the Gates of the Netherworld; they had their own powerful effects. He just hadnt found out how to use them yet.

With a thought from Qi Bei, the Death Seal appeared in front of him, emerging from the spatial ring.

Suddenly, the golden aura formed by the Soul Seal in the palm of Qi Beis left hand reacted, directly shooting out from the Dragon Seal. And in the next moment, the pitch-black Death Seal began to melt like ice meeting fire, with each rune revolving around the golden aura formed by the Soul Seal. Gradually, these runes started to melt once again, transforming into strands of black aura, which penetrated into the Dragon Seal along with the golden aura of the Soul Seal.

Just then, the Blade of Silence that was still in the spatial ring suddenly trembled as if it had been summoned, buzzing incessantly. With a thought from Qi Bei, the black sword was in his hand, and the mysterious runes on the blade became even brighter.

The scene before Qi Beis eyes changed, and he suddenly saw himself. Disheveled hair, body covered in divine patterns, and the Blade of Silence in his hand dripping with blood. Step by step, he ascended the divine throne formed by countless white bones.

Just as Qi Bei saw himself about to sit on the divine throne, he suddenly shouted, No!

In an instant, the illusion disappeared, and Qi Bei returned to reality, frowning as he looked at the Blade of Silence in his hand. When he lifted the sword, he immediately felt the vast power of death contained within it. A small portion of it seemed to be under his control.

He could use it, but he didnt dare to. Unless he hid his identity, using it in the imperial capital, where people were everywhere in the temple, would be nothing short of seeking death.

Now, he had obtained three out of the nine nether seals. The Soul Seal was supposedly passed down to him by his mother, Lilith, but he wasnt clear about when and where it happened. The Dread Seal was obtained from the Elder of the Dream Sea, and the Death Seal was obtained from the dark mage Wutian.

Regardless, this was something to be happy about. Once he figured out the secrets of the nine nether seals, perhaps these three seals would bring him countless benefits.

When Qi Bei stored the Blade of Silence into the spatial ring, he suddenly noticed another item he had obtained from the dark mage Wutian, the Skull Scepter. As the black sword was placed next to it, a faint light emanated from the eye sockets of the skull on the Skull Scepter.

Just as Qi Bei was about to take it out and study it, he suddenly sensed someone silently breaking through the defensive barrier and entering his room. He immediately withdrew his consciousness, pretending to be unaware.

The person who came was Feng Xianger, the Junior Palace Master of the Phoenix Perching Palace, and she was using the signature concealment technique of the Phoenix Perching Palace, the Wind Concealment Art.

Qi Bei had obtained the Soul Book of the top experts from the five Holy Lands, and it contained a massive amount of information. It was so vast that he couldnt absorb it directly and could only browse through it using his consciousness. He quickly scanned through the Soul Book of Feng Xianer, the Palace Master of the Phoenix Perching Palace, and found the cultivation method and countermeasures for the Wind Concealment Art.

However, Qi Bei remained calm and didnt show any signs. He wanted to see what Feng Xianger was up to.

Feng Xianger walked up to Qi Bei and stuck out her tongue at him.

Qi Bei chuckled inwardly. She usually acted quite mature, but it turned out she was also a mischievous little girl. Did she think that by hiding, this young master wouldnt be able to see her?

You used me as a pawn, and it doesnt sit well with me. If I dont teach you a lesson, then Im not the Junior Palace Master. Feng Xianger thought to herself.

Just then, Xiao Zis head poked out from Qi Beis collar. It seemed to sense Feng Xiangers scent and was looking in her direction with curiosity.

Shh, Xiao Zi, come over here. Feng Xianger used her consciousness to vibrate at a certain frequency and transmitted it to Xiao Zis ears. This was a unique communication technique of the Phoenix Perching Palace with phoenix bloodline creatures.

Xiao Zi didnt want to go, but Qi Bei silently instructed it to follow Feng Xianger.

Thus, Xiao Zi stealthily crawled out from Qi Beis embrace and jumped onto Feng Xiangers body, wearing a mischievous expression that was simply hilarious.

So adorable. Do you want to follow this big sister? Feng Xianger said, taking Xiao Zi and quietly sneaking out of the room.

Xiao Zi nodded (following Qi Beis instruction), and Feng Xianger almost burst into laughter with satisfaction.

Qi Bei, you cunning guy, using me as a pawn, Ill just snatch your magic pet. No, wait, how can it be considered snatching? Xiao Zi voluntarily chose to follow me, Feng Xianger thought to herself.
