The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1022 - 399: Divine Trace Lineage - Tai Eclipse Demon_3

Newborn Era, Second Epoch, Year 730, two beams of blue light descended from the sky.

A male and a female, two members of the Hanba Clan, appeared before Ye Hanjun. Who else could they be if not the long-missed renowned Budga and Chaolu?

"Sun God Child, Mie Quan is summoning us."

The male Hanba, Budga, puffed out his chest and raised his head as he got straight to the point:

"In the southern part of the Abyss, ancient ruins have been discovered."

"Chaolu and I were the first to go in for an investigation, and we almost lost our lives."

"Oh?" Ye Hanjun was surprised.

Although these two were not as mighty as Mie Quan or Mu Yi, they also possessed the rank of Supreme Sacred Great Achievement.

Even against a Supreme Holy Completion, with the suppression of their divinity, there was a possibility for them to prevail.

At the very least, escaping unscathed should have been no problem.

What sort of enemy could make them feel the threat of death?

"The Great Erosion Giant Demon Clan, which once pledged allegiance to our race in the Ancient Era, also has surviving descendants."

"They emerged in the Near Ancient Era, lurking in a realm, hidden extremely well."

"After constantly failing to find the trace of our Ancestor, they harbored thoughts they shouldn’t have..."

Chaolu let out a cold snort as a chilling murderous intent emerged:

"They wish to replace us as the rulers of the Solar Abyss!"

"Ridiculous! We are merely in decline, but the Ancestor is immortal, and our foundation is everlasting! They are courting death!"

"The Tai Eclipse Demon?"

Mu Yi Hanba, summoned to discuss this grave matter, didn’t get angry when he heard this. Instead, he said curiously:

"I remember them. Their ancestor was the ’Tai Eclipse Demon King,’ a Hell Demon God who ruled over fire poison and strength principles, renowned in the Ancient Cosmos during the Third Era."

"After the fall of the Tai Eclipse Demon King, the Tai Eclipse Demons all submitted to our race, remaining as one of the Eight Divine Clans of the Solar Abyss."

"Thinking it through, where does their confidence come from, to think they can replace us at this moment in time?"

"The Great Erosion Giant Demon Clan has birthed a half-step deity!"

Budga bared his teeth, expressing wariness:

"If not for the Wheel of Deep Red’s seal, all beings would find it impossible to simply leave or enter."

"This Tai Eclipse Demon has already left the Abyss and is seeking the Godly Prison Mark by all means."

"Because we detected hints of their plot, it chose to show its true colors, whether to obtain our race’s divine materials or to break the spatial seal; either is an outcome it has long desired..."

"Hehe."

Mu Yi Hanba let out a soft laugh, his pupils also reflecting a cold light:

"Such treacherous beings should have their vitality severed long ago."

"What about Mie Quan? Has he freed up his hands, ready to settle them once and for all?"

"Yes." Chaolu nodded:

"He will take care of the Tai Eclipse Demon’s half-step deity."

"Just to be safe, calling you guys in is never a bad thing."

"How do we get there?" Mu Yi directly asked.

This is the eastern part of the Solar Abyss, far from the south. Relying solely on fierce holy strength, even running non-stop would consume over a decade, not a small cost.

"Deep Red, we’ll have to trouble you again."

Budga waved his hand towards the void, and a red wheel materialized rapidly.

It first breathed fire at GuaGua as a habitual way of saying hello to a good friend.

Then, it spun clockwise, its mood flaring playfully yet indolently, faintly touching the heartstrings of everyone around.

Space teleportation—after all, that consumed its life energy.

Though it wouldn’t cause bone-deep injuries, each use would slow its growth, and the path to Divine Enthronement would naturally become even more distant.

"Gua..."

GuaGua transformed into a fire beast of dazzling prowess and responded with a breath of fire, attempting to soothe the pitiful and injured-looking Wheel of Deep Red.

Unexpectedly, the Wheel of Deep Red became ecstatic, spinning rapidly, and immediately opened a long-distance space wormhole.

"Let’s go, we’ll move to the lair of the Tai Eclipse Demon."

The chanting of mantras, the morning dew, readying fists for a fight, primed to launch.

The Hanba Clan was warlike. As an enduring race among the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, an immortal breed, it was only through blood-soaked battles that their innate bloodline instincts could be awakened.

Mu Yi suppressed the last trace of a smile, his bandages fluttering in the wind, more than half of them clinging to his skin.

The calmer he became, the more eager Ye Hanjun grew.

Having formed a contract for so long, he had never had the chance to witness Mu Yi Hanba fight with all his might.

Had the opportunity finally arrived? The ’Emperor of Corpses,’ unmatched and unrivaled, was he finally crossing from Ancient to Near Ancient, to reign over the New Era?

"Hoo—whizz whizz whizz—"

The lengthy disorientation of the world spinning, the chaotic ripples of space.

Refocusing his gaze, Ye Hanjun looked forward to see a rugged mountain range, unprecedented and towering between heaven and earth.

Consequently, his pupils contracted slightly, and an intense battle lust surged untamed.

"Awooo—"

The sacred roar erupted, and the Golden Crow screeched.

In a desolate and barren world, a lone figure stood, majestic in the brief glimpse one gets, merely a few meters tall, yet as exalted as the heavens themselves.

"You’ve arrived?"

Mie Quan turned around, expressionless.

The chanting of mantras, the morning dew, they nodded slightly.

Mu Yi didn’t respond; he simply looked up, gazing between the mountains.

"Boom!!"

The massive mountain range, ten thousand meters tall, split from the middle.

As the two halves collapsed thunderously, the dust rolled up, piercing the skies.

"Hanba—I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"

"What Guardian Divine! Our ancestors are the Hell Demon God, the blood flowing in our veins is no worse than yours!"

"After enduring for so long, having served as slaves for so many years, it’s our turn to swagger about!"

A group of giants, a thousand meters tall, roared as they emerged from the collapsing mountain.

They pushed forward unstoppably, as if stepping on the rhythm of a triumphant battle song, and from a distance, they started throwing ’Sun Meteorites’.

One after another, the blindingly bright golden globes, wrapped in extreme lethal force, fell—fell—fell in succession!

Mie Quan laughed heartily, like an eagle soaring with spread wings, single-handedly charging towards the tallest, strongest, angriest, and most frenzied Tai Eclipse Demon.

"You think you’re worthy?"

"Lie down for me!"
