Chapter 289: Thousand-Year Artifact
Thinking of this, Agareth couldn't help but understand his eldest brother's approach.
After all, if they really let go of a future existence in the Temple Alliance that can grow enough to compete with "Damnation", then even if their demons finally defeat Austin Griffin and completely erase "Damnation" from this plane, a new crisis will arise.
That was this human knight named Yue Shen.
It's just that what Agares is really curious about is whether the Demon God Emperor wants to kill Yue Shen in order to stabilize the future rule of the Demon Clan, or through the means of mind control, so that he can only be loyal to their Demon Clan for life?
However, combined with the plan that the third brother just said, it would be better to eradicate a human like this that would be strong enough to affect their demon dominance in the future, but I don't know what the eldest brother would do......
……
Feeling all the spiritual apertures in his body that had finally become full, Yue Shen also knew that he could start preparing to try to break through the bottleneck of advancing from the seventh order to the eighth order.
"It's just...... It feels like it's getting more and more obvious." After raising the total amount of internal spiritual power in his body to the peak of the seventh order, Yue Shen also clearly felt the impact of elementalization on his body.
This time the feeling on his body was much more obvious than the last time, and it would not weaken the corrosive effect on Yue Shen's body with the passage of time.
In other words, Yue Shen's body elementalization process has entered an irreversible state, even if he stops cultivating from now on, unless he finds another solution, he will dissipate into heaven and earth like the goddess of nature and the goddess of light, and assimilate with this plane.
Similarly, the three high-purity elemental energies in Yue Shen's body at this time sent him to the "Path to Godhood" that had been cut off, and at the same time, it also gave him strength that far surpassed that of opponents of the same level.
Don't look at Yue Shen's current cultivation is only at the peak of the seventh order, but even if he is an alliance powerhouse with an eighth-order peak cultivation, he will not necessarily be his opponent at this time. Not to mention that this was still under the condition that Yue Shen had not unlocked the elemental seal in his body, without relying on Thor , Yue Shen felt that he could control three powerful elemental forces to fight at the same time, even if he encountered a ninth-order opponent, it was inevitable that he would not be without the strength to fight.
The most important thing is that Yue Shen's hidden personal strength is not the biggest trump card in his hand, in the case of the hole cards are exhausted, Yue Shen feels that as long as he is not unlucky to the extreme, he will be sure that he will retreat from the top three demon gods who are the most powerful in the demon race.
Next, it's time to break through the eighth order.
One of the most difficult points in breaking through from the seventh order to the eighth order was how to convert the liquid spiritual power in one's body that had filled the whole body and was all viscous into a solid state.
Although Yue Shen didn't have a clue, he could rely on his spiritual power, which was stronger than most people, to control the spiritual power in his body and slowly experiment, thinking of compressing all the liquid spiritual power in his body into a solid state.
Based on Yue Shen's judgment of his physical condition, the corrosive effect brought by the elementalization of his body to his body should be unbearable when his spiritual power level reached the peak of the eighth order.
Yue Shen still remembered that Ye Xiaoxian told himself that the later he came to her to relieve the symptoms of body elementalization, the better the effect, after all, while enduring the erosion of the three high-purity elements in the body by the body, it was also a kind of exercise for Yue Shen's body.
Ye Xiaoxian also made it clear that she could not provide much help to Yue Shen, but only by using the part of the natural essence in her own body and the part of the natural essence before the dissipation of the goddess of nature to increase Yue Shen's physical body and improve Yue Shen's body's ability to resist elemental erosion, it was just to help him slow down the progress of the elementalization of his body.
And it was precisely because of this that Yue Shen did not go to Dream Heaven at this time to find Ye Xiaoxi.
However, Yue Shen hadn't figured out exactly what time period he wanted to go to Dream Heaven to find Ye Xiaoxian to help him alleviate his symptoms, after all, it would definitely take a lot of time to fuse and absorb god-level life essence with the "mortal body", and Yue Shen was also struggling with whether to solve the problems in his body before reorganizing the team.
In a word...... Let's talk about the cultivation first.
……
The Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, where the headquarters of the Soul Temple, the most mysterious of the six temples, is located, located in the south of the Temple Alliance.
The holy war between humans and demons has been going on for more than a year, and among the six major temples responsible for guarding the six major heroes of the Templar Alliance, the one who has suffered the least loss in this holy war belongs to their soul temple.
With the tide of terrifying beasts summoned by those high-level summoners, their soul temple repelled the attacks of the demons again and again, and even took into account the side of the southeast fortress warrior temple, which was the most difficult to resist the attacks of the demons.
The headquarters of the Soul Temple is built in a giant tree that rises into the sky. The reason why their Soul Temple is the most mysterious of the six major Temples of the Temple Alliance is because almost all the people in their Temples have more or less elven blood in their bodies.
And it is precisely because of this that these summoners of their soul temple are able to fight for themselves by communicating with all living beings and driving demonic beasts.
In other words, their Soul Temples didn't need to recruit members from the Temple Alliance every year to replenish their own temples with fresh blood like the other Temples.
After all, only those who have elven blood mixed with their bodies can cultivate the inheritance of their soul temple and become summoners.
However, in this way, it directly led to the extremely limited number of temple members that their Soul Temples could cultivate each year, and they could not compete with the number of other temples that searched for talents in the entire Temple Alliance.
And then there is the current handsome sixty-third regiment leader, the elven ranger Chen Qi from the Warrior Temple, who is lost in this way, and the talents with elven blood are absorbed into other temples.
Therefore, even though their Soul Sanctuary was a mysterious representative in the eyes of the vast majority of the Temple Alliance, the comprehensive strength of their Temple was not strong when looking at the entire Temple Alliance.
Even though they were the smallest temple in the entire Templar Coalition in this holy war, they had a rather fatal flaw.
That is, the number of high-end combat power is extremely rare, and looking at their entire Soul Temple, a psychic who has cultivated above the ninth order can even count it on one hand.
If it weren't for the ninth-order powerhouses from the other five temples sitting here to assist the soul temple in resisting the demon clan's demon god-level powerhouses, then the soul temple at this time would not only be as simple as what Chen Ying'er wrote in the letter she first sent to Yue Shen, but it was just that her elders' contract demonic beasts died in battle.
In the depths of the Soul Temple, in a hexagonal room completely surrounded by milky white light, a beautiful girl was sitting cross-legged at this time, her whole body suspended in the air by a hazy pale white light.
On the floor in the room, there are circles of strange and intricate patterns. If you look closely, you can see that each small petal pattern represents a kind of magical beast.
The reason why the various patterns of demonic beasts on the ground can emit white fluorescence outward, hold up the body of the girl in the center of the room, and provide a steady stream of soul attribute breath for them to absorb and cultivate, is because among the patterns of these demonic beasts, each place is embedded with crystal nuclei taken from the body of demonic beasts.
Almost every crystal nucleus is a few points larger than a human fist, and all kinds of precious "gems" fill the entire room, decorating the place into a magnificent "temple of gems".
A soft white light stirred in the air, slowly swirling around the girl in the center.
The girl's face was solemn and solemn, and her whole body exuded an aura that could be said to be holy. On her body is a white robe with a slightly quaint style, but it does not make people feel any sense of incongruity.
What was surprising was that the pattern on her robe was exactly the same as the one on the ground, and there were countless silver embroidery in the shape of magical beasts.
At this stage when the Soul Temple is weakening, they finally have the hope that they can lead their Temple back on the path of revival, that is, the birth of a new Soul Saint.
Chen Ying'er can be said to have been cultivated by the Soul Temple as their future saint daughter and the next hall master of the Soul Temple since she was born.
Otherwise, she is now
Who is qualified to stay in this Soul Temple, which has spent a lot of savings to accumulate and cultivate, and absorb the power contained in these precious demonic beast crystal nuclei as he wants.
You must know that even her grandfather, Chen Hongyu, the current hall master of the Soul Temple, was only allowed to enter this ashram for three days to retreat and cultivate when he became the master of their temple.
It's like Chen Ying'er now, not only can she enter and exit here at will, but it has been two months since she last went out.
Not only that, the white robe on Chen Ying'er's body at this time was not ordinary, it was also one of the most precious items in their Soul Temple.
Soul Holy Clothes, this is a real artifact that has been passed down from their Soul Temple for thousands of years, and the origin of this artifact is the brainchild of the powerhouses of the Soul Temple over the ages.
On this soul holy robe, a total of one hundred and eight spirit pills were inlaid with it, and this soul holy robe was successfully refined by the soul temple after five thousand years of accumulation.
This is a true artifact, and the only artifact in the Soul Sanctuary. The material of its own is to boil the juice of one thousand and eighty kinds of demonic beasts, soak it in a special metal, soften it and toughen it to the extreme, and then absorb the souls of these thousand and eighty kinds of demonic beasts to form a thread, and weave this robe.
And the seven columns of transparent gems that drooped down from the vest of the robe, slid down the neckline, and wrapped around the waist, were treasures that only summoners of the Soul Temple could produce.
Because they will only have one spirit trick in their summoner's body, unlike other professions, they can increase the number of spirit tricks in their bodies by constantly improving their spiritual power, so as to achieve the effect of improving their cultivation and strength faster.
The reason why summoners can only have one spirit aperture in their body is due to their cultivation method, and the only spirit aperture is the fundamental reason why it is much more difficult for them to cultivate in the later stage compared to other professions, and it is also the main reason why the number of high-end combat power in their soul temple is seriously scarce.
However, after the research of their countless summoner ancestors, they also found a special method that could increase their cultivation speed.
That is the method of spiritual power knotting.
By gradually solidifying the spiritual power in his body, he began to try in advance the means of compressing spiritual power that were only needed when breaking through the eighth order.
That is, these summoners of the Soul Temple generally have a much stronger spiritual power than other professions, so that they can do what seems to be a suicidal act in the eyes of outsiders.
This was also one of the main reasons why the Spirit Emperors of the Eighth Order of their Soul Temple grabbed a large handful, and the number of psychics symbolizing powerful summoners was very few.
Storing the condensed "elixir" in the body can not only play a role in assisting cultivation, but also allow one's total spiritual power to continue to increase, achieving the purpose of improving one's cultivation.
At the beginning of the elixir, it was obviously not up to the standard of solid spiritual power, but as the summoners' cultivation continued to improve, the elixir would become harder and harder.
And if you want to reach the level where the elixir is immortal from the body, then you need at least a summoner to have a ninth-order or higher cultivation to be able to do it.
After the death of a ninth-order summoner, their elixir will remain like the demon clan's magic crystal.
In other words, the Soul Sacred Clothes on Chen Ying'er's body at this time was a treasure that had been refined by the lifelong cultivation of one hundred and eight of their Soul Temple Ninth Order Ancestors.
The existence of the Soul Sacred Cloth, let alone the Demon Race, even the other five major temples among the six major temples did not know about its existence.
And the reason is very simple, that is, this artifact, since the refining was completed, has never been born. Because there is no one in their soul temple who can control it.
The elixir left behind by one hundred and eight ninth-order powerhouses of the Soul Temple, what kind of terrifying power is this, how could it be that ordinary humans can drive its power?
After thousands of years of research in the Soul Temple, it has also been discovered that in order to drive this Soul Sacred Clothing and exert its full power, what is needed is not how high the spiritual strength of the user is, but that it will only connect with those who can have a high affinity with the demonic beast.
In other words, only the Son of Nature, the Soul Maiden, who is closest to the Demon Beast, can activate the true power of this Soul Sacred Vestment.
It's just that when the Soul Temple figured this out, hundreds of years had passed since the last Soul Saintess of their Soul Temple, and they had no choice but to seal this treasure that had taken dozens of generations of painstaking efforts to refine, waiting for its next owner to appear.
And this is a thousand years old.
