Hail the King

Chapter 952: Godly Blood (Part One)

“Are these 72 giant stone eggs containing the 72 sealed demons of Hell?”

Fei and Hazel Bank felt like they were as tiny as ants in front of these giant ‘stone eggs’. When they looked up and observed, they were shocked, and their lips and throats became dry. Now, words couldn’t even describe the emotions and thoughts that they had.

The two finally woke up from the shock after a long while.

“Let’s split up and look around. If any one of us discovers anything, don’t move alone; we have to notify the other person and move together.”

After quickly making the decision, they decided to split up and move on their own.

Fei dashed forward and slowly approached the center of the mysterious sealed space.

The closer he was to these ‘stone eggs’, the more majestic and terrifying Fei found them to be.

These giant stone pieces weren’t born in nature. Fei could tell that on their surface, two kinds of powers, both holy and evil, were fighting with each other and intertwined. Both sensations contained fragments of godly laws. Even a bit of leaked energy could wipe out a powerful Sun-Class Lord.

“Such a terrifying place!”

Fei had been through hundreds of battles and had an iron-like will that was trained in the Hell-like Diablo World. However, when he passed by the giant ‘stone eggs’ one by one, the horrifying auras of these ‘eggs’ shocked the king and made him feel a strong sense of fear. It felt like the demons imprisoned inside the ‘stone eggs’ could break out and devour him at any time.

With his guard up, Fei traveled in between the ‘stone eggs’ with caution.

-Suddenly-

“Oh god! This is…”

In the center of all the ‘stone eggs’, there was a giant ‘stone egg’ that was way larger than its peers. It was still slowly spinning, but Fei didn’t notice it since other things blocked his vision.

If the other ‘stone eggs’ were like subordinates, this enormous ’stone egg’ would be like the unreachable emperor. All other ‘stone eggs’ spun themselves and circled this giant ‘strong egg’ like loyal guards protecting their lord.

Also, different from other ‘stone eggs’, its surface wasn’t grey and rough. Instead, it was smooth like a mirror, and black and white flames burned on it in alternating patterns. Also, life energy could be clearly sensed from it, making it seem like an egg that was nurturing something inside. When Fei got closer to this ‘stone egg’ in shock, he was stunned that strands of red chains that were the thickness of wine barrels wrapped around the surface of this ‘stone egg’. Since the size of this ‘stone egg’ was so large, the red chains looked like thin hair strands from afar. Therefore, the king didn’t notice it prior.

“These are… godly runes? Ancient godly runes?”

Fei carefully got close and was stunned to find golden images that were the size of a palm blinking on the red chains. These godly runes connected densely. With the godly light flashing on them, the limitless-looking red chains also started to move. Infused with godly power, the red chains wrapped around the giant ‘stone egg’ layer by layer. However, they were still moving around as if they had minds of their own.

“Strange chain. Red color… what material is it made of? It can tie down this bright sphere, so it shouldn’t be ordinary.”

Chapter 952: Godly Blood (Part Two)

Fei couldn’t help himself; he wanted to reach out his hand and touch this mystical chain. He wanted to start with the material and discover more clues.

Now, Fei was knowledgeable in terms of alchemy and materials; he had been learning from Cain and Akara. Since the king was semi-professional, the ancient materials could be recognized by him. Then, from its material and make, he could potentially figure out which race and elemental energy the many blinking godly runes belonged to.

However, when his hands were about to touch the chain, he suddenly discovered something and froze.

“This… isn’t solid! It is… liquid… red liquid… could it be… blood?!”

Fei was stunned.

He suddenly discovered that the red chains where golden runes flashed on weren’t made by a talented craftsman; they were made from pure blood! The drips of blood tightly connected and looked like metal chains, and they let out a series of metal-colliding noises. Every single bit of blood contained unimaginable power and fragments of godly laws, and it was unparalleled in terms of sealing abilities. Right now, the entire ‘stone egg’ was directly sealed.

“This blood… could it be godly blood?” Fei was so shocked that he became numb.

In the legends, godly blood contained unimaginable power. Since these red chains were made from blood, it wasn’t strange that they could also deal with demons. What shocked Fei was that based on the observations of the surroundings, it seemed like this place had been around for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, the blood should have been around for that long as well. After the passage of time, the blood was still full and bright; it didn’t disintegrate over the years.

“Where did this blood come from? How powerful must that person be.”

Fei flew around this giant ‘stone egg’ and took a better look. From the size of it, hundreds of tons of blood were required to seal this demon. Also, since the blood wouldn’t rot and disappear after so long, it was shocking and a little unbelievable.

If Fei weren’t worried about damaging the seal and accidentally releasing the demons, he would have taken some blood to go back and research.

This was godly blood!

Godly blood was several times more valuable than all the treasures that were found in the Royal Palace of Anji. Since it contained godly power, fragmented laws of nature, and the secret of becoming a god, there were a lot of things to study. With the terrifying research ability of the Mad Scientists Laboratory, perhaps it would break the code of becoming a real-world god, making Fei more powerful like a god who was looking down on Earth.

“These 72 giant eggs should contain the 72 demons of Hell, and the largest one in the center should be the lord of the 72 demons. This demon lord must be terrifying, and doomsday would occur on the Azeroth Continent if they break out…”

This situation was insane and alluring as well. No one knew which god sealed these demons here for thousands of years. If this news got out, the entire continent would go insane and fight over it.

After closing his eyes, Fei seemed to have heard loud roars in his ears and thought back in history; he was sure that this battle was insane.

At the same time, a shriek sounded by Fei’s ear.

Fei’s heart lurched, and he thought, “This is the gasp of the Undead Mage; could it be that he is in danger?”
