Chapter 465
Mechanical God Emperor
465 – Ghost Mirage Demon Pupils
Shi Yuebing looked at Yang Feng with an expression of shock on her face and promptly advised: “Sir, I know that you’re as strong as a Moonlight Warlock, but two fists can’t match four hands. The Xiling Sea Wolf King and the Xiling Eight Dogs under his command are extremely tyrannical. Unlike the matches in a sect, they will try to win by hook or by crook! They will besiege you! No matter how strong you are, you won’t e able to resist their siege.”
There was an odd look on Yang Feng’s face, and he smiled faintly: “Siege! The last thing I fear is a siege!”
Ignoring Shi Yuebing’s words of advice, the five gale-class merchant ships calmly sailed in the direction of the Xiling Sea Wolf Pirates.
Not long after, the 10 sea-wolf-class pirate ships of the Xiling Sea Wolf Pirates approached from different directions.
Sea wolf-class pirate ships were warships of the same class as taishan-class merchant ships. They were more than 500 meters long, and were entirely built from extraordinary plant black iron drift wood, whose defensive strength was far beyond steel even without any runes engraved.
On each sea wolf-class pirate ship, there stood a single five-story-tall Warlock tower. The Warlock towers were the backbone of each ship, enchanting them with various movement and deffensive spells.
The sea-wolf-class pirate ships were inferior to taishan-class merchant ships in all aspects except for movement speed, in which they surpassed the latter by far. Compared with gale-class merchant ships, sea-wolf-class pirate ships were only slightly inferior in terms of movement speed. Additionally, the manpower required to operate sea-wolf-class pirate ships was by far lower than that to operate gale-class merchant ships.
Among the 10 sea-wolf-class pirate ships, there was a unique sea-wolf-class pirate ship. It was 1,000 meters long with nine five-story-tall Warlock towers and one six-story-tall Warlock tower constructed on the hull. This modified sea-wolf-class pirate ship was the flagship of the Xiling Sea Wolf Pirates.
Although this flagship was still inferior to a gale-class merchant ship, but it could already contend against a gale-class merchant ships in some aspects.
When the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s sailors aboard the five gale-class merchant ships saw the the Xiling Sea Wolf Pirates’ fleet from afar, their face’s showed looks of fear.
Although the combat power of the gale-class merchant ships was formidable, but the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s Warlocks could not give full play to it. If the Xiling Sea Wolf Pirates’ flagship displayed its fighting strength to the fullest, then even the five gale-class merchant ships together may not be its opponent. In the center of the flagship, a burly, bald man with a black eye-patch covering an eye boldly sat on a litter made of numerous skulls radiating a gloomy aura. His gaze was as sharp as a blade as it crossed the void and locked on Yang Feng.
Behind the man wearing a black eye-patch stood eight Warlocks of different appearances exuding terrific auras. The strength of any one of them was far above that of the First Elder of the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion.
The man wearing a black eye-patch was the Xiling Sea Wolf King with a fierce reputation in the Wei Sea, and the eight Warlock behind him were the Xiling Eight Dogs under his command.
“Great Warlock! A puny Great Warlock dares to come and provoke me, what a reckless thing!” The Xiling Sea Wolf King took a deep look at Yang Feng, then his pupil suddenly twisted, and a strange hexagram with numerous mystic runes engraved on it appeared, and an evil, strange force gushed out from his pupil.
When Yang Feng looked at the Xiling Sea Wolf King’s pupil, his vision blurred, and countless dark chains appeared on his body. He couldn’t see nor budge, and his tremendous life force seemed to be stripped from him.
A huge demonic hand extended from the Netherworld, ripped open the void, grabbed Yang Feng, and pulled him into the Netherworld
“Go for a swim inside Styx!” A cold voice came from the demonic hand, and it threw Yang Feng towards Styx.
Running through the countless planes, Styx was a river of death that guided the souls of the deceased from the countless planes to the Netherworld. Even mighty Infinity Warlock rank experts, when splashed by the water of Styx, will have all their memories washed away, and turn into pure and transparent souls without an ego, which was no different from death.
“What an astounding eye ability!!” Just when Yang Feng was about to enter Styx and become a pure soul that lost all its memories, he uttered five words with difficulty.
The Netherworld’s space collapsed, and Styx twisted and disappeared.
Yang Feng’s eyes regained their luster as if he had returned to the real world from the Netherworld, and the nether chains binding him disappeared. A soothing feeling came from the level-6 secret treasure Focus Sea Moon Pendant around his neck.
In the vast universe, there were countless evil and powerful beings, some of which could wipe out a Bloodline Warlock family with a gaze or a sound.
The eye ability performed by the Xiling Sea Wolf King was called Ghost Mirage Demon Pupils, it was a secret method created in the era of the Magic Note Dynasty by imitating the innate eye ability of the extraordinary life form ghost mirage demon found in the Astral Boundary.
There was once a Glorious Dawn Warlock who encountered a ghost mirage demon in the Astral Boundary, and was targeted by the its eye ability. In the aftermath, not only did the Glorious Dawn Warlock die, but all his descendants died as well.
The Magic Note Dynasty has sent seven Infinity Warlocks and one Warlock Monarch to capture the ghost mirage demon. After extensive research on the ghostly magic ghost, the Ghost Mirage Demon Pupils was developed.
Just now, if Yang Feng hadn’t awoken in time, he would have been cleansed by the illusory Styx, his soul would have shattered, and he would have died directly. If it wasn’t for the protection provided by the level-6 secret method Focus Sea Moon Pendant, he might have come a cropper.
Regarding Yang Feng whose battle prowess were formidable yet the strength of the soul and cultivation base were far behind, such a direct attack to the soul was a great threat.
After his soul seed integrated with the semi-plane, the strength of his soul was at the Starry Sky Warlock rank, yet it was still a long way off from the Moonlight Warlock rank. After all, the evolution from a Great Warlock to a Starry Sky Warlock and then to a Moonlight Warlock involved two great transformations. With each transformation, the strength of a Warlock’s soul increased exponentially.
If it wasn’t for the protection of the level-6 secret treasure Focus Sea Moon Pendant, then the Great Warlock Yang Feng whose soul was his weakness might have suffered a big loss this time. After all, without an appropriate spell to resist Ghost Mirage Demon Pupils, even a true Moonlight Warlock might suffer a great injury, or even die.
After the eye ability was broken, the abnormality in Xiling Sea Wolf King’s pupil suddenly disappeared, and blood slowly oozed out from his eye.
The evil eye ability Ghost Mirage Demon Pupils was very powerful, but at the same time, it was a double-edged sword. If the eye ability was broken, then a backless would hit and injure its host.
One of the Xiling Eight Dogs the Black Dog stepped forward and said with a malevolent smile: “The Xiling Sea Wolf King is here. Give up resistance and offer your ships, and we’ll spare your lives. Or else, after we capture you, we’ll make you into Human Candles and offer you as a sacrifice to the evil gods.”
When they heard the Black Dog’s words, the faces of the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion’s Warlocks turned pale, and fear overtook their eyes.
The cultivation of the Warlocks in the four subcontinents tended to the worship of evil gods. Via blood sacrifice and other vicious methods, they tried to please the evil gods, and then were granted various evil powers by the evil gods. Such Warlocks were called Evil God Warlocks.
During the era of the Eight Warlock Dynasties, the four subcontinents were the territory of the Warlock Dynasties, and the Evil God Warlocks could only hide in the darkness, not daring to appear in the open.
After the collapse of the 8th Warlock Dynasty, the continent’s human Warlocks fought one another and split into four dynasties, and the numerous forces of the four dynasties struggle among themselves. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the continent, the Evil God Warlocks occupied the subcontinents and turned them into the land of Evil God Warlocks.
Human Candle was an evil spell that Evil God Warlocks used to offer sacrifice to the evil gods. Once Warlocks were transformed into Human Candle by the evil secret method, their soul will be ignited. After suffering a horrible torment for seven days and seven nights, they will die in despair and suffering. The pain, resentment, despair, and other twisted negative forces will be absorbed by the evil gods from the souls, and strengthened them.
Faith force of intelligent life forms was the source of power of the gods, while negative force of intelligent life form was the source of power of the evil gods.
With an indifferent expression on his face, the Xiling Sea Wolf King looked at the expressions of the people from the Sky Blue Sea Pavilion with derision in his eyes.
Moonlight Warlocks were inhuman existences comparable to gods in terms of strength. Many planes in the Astral Boundary were occupied by human Moonlight Warlocks who became those plane’s divine guardians.
“Human Candles? What a bunch of fierce fellows. Sure enough, all pirates are scum.” Yang Feng glanced at the Xiling Sea Wolf King and his men, sneered, and continued indifferently: “Xiling Sea Wolf King, who sent you scum here to die?”
