Chapter 408: Five times the cultivation speed
This trip to the headquarters of the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect was ultimately smoother than Lu Chengfeng thought.
There were many things he thought the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect would ask, such as the origin of the evil god under his control, but the Saint Rank powerhouse didn't ask. After discussing the secrets of the apostles, he excused himself with the excuse of convenience. Without the presence of the leader of the Apocalypse Sect, Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt a lot less pressure.
Half an hour later, after clarifying the situation, he also left the Apocalypse Order. The sisters of the Liu family were a little worried about Lu Chengfeng's trip, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him return. It's a pity that before a few people sat down to have a meal together, the car of the third prince drove to the door immediately. With the Lan Seal here, the destruction of the GBL Sect, and the matter of the Eighth Apostle Rost, it will definitely reach the ears of the Lan Wu royal family. They definitely didn't know as much about the Terra Realm cultists as they did about it. At this moment, they were full of doubts, and naturally they couldn't wait to find the person who was most likely to know about the Apostle in addition to the Apocalypse Order.
That's Lu Chengfeng!
The moment he saw the three princes' henchmen appear, Lu Chengfeng understood their intentions. Although he complained about the other party's impatience in his heart, he thought about it and went along with it.
Compared to the Heavenly Apocalypse Sect, the Lanwu Imperial Family's influence on Lu Chengfeng was even smaller. Facing the Holy Order, one of the Three Sages, Lu Chengfeng said almost everything except for a few secrets. But in the face of the Lanwu royal family, Lu Chengfeng can take a gesture, there is no need to tell them everything.
At this point, the three princes are also mentally prepared. After listening to Lu Chengfeng's general explanation, he didn't force it, but just reminded Lu Chengfeng that the day of going to Xuzu to participate in the Blue Dragon Martial Arts Meeting was approaching, so that Lu Chengfeng could get ready.
Because the total rewards for the year are said to be very generous, the competition can be fierce. In order to get back the face lost in the past two sessions, the third prince is also very concerned about this time.
In this regard, Lu Chengfeng naturally took a mouthful. As for the treasure of the Heavenly Wind Empire, he is determined to get it!
After returning from the third prince, Lu Chengfeng, who had temporarily settled the troubles of the two sides, finally gained a short period of peace. As the spring festival approaches, the atmosphere in Kaiyang City becomes lively. After making their last business, the mercenaries of the Tianguang Mercenary Group also began to go home to prepare for the New Year. After the sisters of the Liu family said something to Lu Chengfeng, they also hurried back to the west coast, preparing to participate in the ancestor worship.
The garrison of the mercenary group suddenly became much empty.
Lu Chengfeng really liked this kind of atmosphere where no one disturbed him, and while enjoying the Spring Festival of the Empire at ease, he used the last bit of time before the Qinglong Martial Arts Meeting to work hard to hone and improve his cultivation. Moreover, while no one was paying attention, Lu Chengfeng began to study the soul candle given to him by the Eighth Apostle Rost.
In the ocean of the Terra Realm, Rost of the Holy Rank can almost exert the strength of the God Rank, and is almost an invincible existence. Such a titled apostle, the thing he gave him before his death must be very extraordinary. It's just that in the first two days, no matter how Lu Chengfeng studied and tested it, this black soul candle didn't have any reaction. Eventually, it was a flash of inspiration that he lit it and found the correct use of the soul candle.
The moment the strange black flame ignited, Lu Chengfeng found himself as if he had fallen into a hazy dream.
It was a special scene formed by the essence power released when the soul candle burned!
Maybe it's Rost's deliberate arrangement, in the dream, Lu Chengfeng seems to be incarnated into the huge octopus, and "sees" a lot of bizarre pictures. Some, it seems to be a chaotic scenario of the collapse of the world, and in the collapse of the sky, something magical seems to have formed. Not long after, the picture turned and appeared in a large and desolate square.
Lu Chengfeng could swear that he had never seen that scene. But instinctively, he knew the place—the central square of the Terra realm, the sanctuary where the First Apostle and Karn the Fate had settled all year round.
The next moment, on the earthen wall outside the square, the invisible hand carved countless ancient and mysterious words on it.
Those strange and implicit runes, Lu Chengfeng couldn't understand at all. However, he was able to understand the picture that was formed behind the words. In those images, there are dragons in flames, women screaming, plague monsters like wild boars, howling octopuses, and huge monsters that devour everything. At the end of the picture, symbols of explosion, destruction, sacrifice, and rebirth are depicted in turn!
"Could this be it?"
At that moment, Lu Chengfeng's heart thumped. He realized that this blurred picture hidden in the soul candle was the "Book of Prophecy" that the Eighth Apostle Rost was referring to!
However, before he could further think about the meaning of those images, the speed of the hazy dream began to quicken. Most of what followed, in a flash, made it difficult for him to understand. It wasn't until the last segment, which seemed to be transferred to the back of the Heavenly Veil Giant Beast, that the interpretation of the dream slowed down again, changing to a speed that Lu Chengfeng could understand. It's just that this last paragraph is already something that Lu Chengfeng knows, and it is nothing more than the perspective that has changed from Lu Chengfeng himself to the Eighth Apostle. Substituted for that hazy dream, he could vaguely feel Rost's mood at that time - desperate and contradictory. On the one hand, it knows the book of prophecy and knows that its end is coming. On the other hand, it resists that future, and does not want to harm humanity and provoke their hatred. However, if you don't do that, you won't be able to sustain yourself after being dehydrated for a year. In the end, in the midst of hesitation and contradictions, it used its only mind control ability after leaving the water to destroy the GBL Sect!
The picture ends abruptly here.
An invisible force pushed Lu Chengfeng out of the hazy dream. After a brief period of dizziness and violent vomiting, Lu Chengfeng broke free from the dream of black flames and reappeared in the station of the Skylight Mercenary Group.
After taking a big breath for a while, Lu Chengfeng regained his composure.
In the dream, it seems that a long time has passed. But in the real world, less than a quarter of an hour has passed. Lu Chengfeng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, calmed down, and recalled the picture of the prophecy book he saw. Convinced that he had memorized all those things, Lu Chengfeng put his mind at ease. At this time, he noticed something that he had overlooked. That is, a soul candle that has been burning for a quarter of an hour, with little change in length. At this rate, the black flame could be burned at least a hundred more times. But near this burning soul candle, Lu Chengfeng's fighting spirit was unprecedentedly active, and his cultivation speed was five times faster than usual! Discovering this, Lu Chengfeng was shocked and almost jumped.
