Chapter 446: Chapter 349: Five Seals (Second Update)

"Aow..." Su Yu could hardly stop himself from letting out a hoarse roar of agony. He tried his best to endure it, but the pain this time was greater than the last time and lasted even longer.

The previous bout of agonizing pain just lasted for a few minutes, but this time, he was in excruciating pain for almost twenty minutes. After the torture finally subsided, Su Yu’s body returned to normal. He lay on the ground, his face as pale as a sheet, utterly exhausted, unable even to lift his little finger.

Ada observed Su Yu, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she mused, "Strange. This round of agony lasted far longer than before, and...deep within Su Yu, the ’Dark Heart’ unleashed power far more terrifying than the last occasion... how odd..."

Ada, lost in pondering, transformed into a stream of Black Flame and seamlessly merged into Su Yu’s body. Then, she carefully began to examine the reputed Dodecahedron, the Dark Heart, which was now lying dormant within Su Yu.

After a while, as Ada returned to her diminutive form and landed back onto Su Yu, he had regained some strength. Sitting up, he asked, "Ada, what’s going on? This time, I felt the Dark Heart...seems to have unleashed power even I can’t control. Even what it showed just now is simply the tip of the iceberg of this power..."

Ada rubbed her chin with her small paws, deep in thought, "Finally, I understand why the Dark Heart takes the form of a Dodecahedron. When the King of Darkness was destroyed by the Power of Rules, he planted five seals within his own body. Utilizing the power of these five seals, he sealed all his strength in this Dodecahedron-shaped form, which is now your Dark Heart."

Su Yu blinked, asking, "Five seals?"

"Yes, these five dark seals, each stronger than the last, comprise this Dodecahedron. Essentially, the King of Darkness set them up as a foundation for his resurrection. After all, he had no idea how strong the parasitic body he would reside in the future would be. So, the first seal is relatively weak. When you broke the first seal, the power derived from the Dark Heart was limited. The second seal is much more potent, and breaking it grants even more significant power and so on. If all five seals are unsealed, you will obtain all the power of the King of Darkness. You accidentally uncovered the second seal just now, and even though you obtained greater strength...the burden and side-effects are more terrifying."

Ada’s revelations were shocking to Su Yu. The Dark Heart within his body is actually the sealed power of the King of Darkness? For every seal he undoes, he will gain more significant strength. If all five seals are broken, will he instantly gain... all the power of the King of Darkness?

Su Yu had no idea how mighty the King of Darkness was. Although the King of Darkness was later killed by the Power of Rules, looking back, he was a match for the Demon God, the Mighty Azure Giant. Ada had mentioned that the King of Darkness had not completely resurrected back then and hence was easily killed by the Power of Rules. Otherwise, even for the Power of Rules, it would not be easy to destroy the King of Darkness within the Heavenly Pit Forest.

Just by this alone one could roughly measure how terrifying the King of Darkness was.

Su Yu’s heart pounded, and he involuntarily covered his chest. The Dark Heart that lay deep within his chest possessed such horrifying power. The only downside is that the side-effects were chilling to think about. Merely recalling the recent agony had given Su Yu a fright.

"Given your current physical condition, even unsealing the first seal is already pushing it above your limits. Unless you have no other choice, don’t use it carelessly because if you use it excessively, your body may...collapse someday." Ada warned earnestly.

Su Yu gave a solemn nod, slowly stood up, and said, "It seems that if I want to harness the power of the Dark Heart, my body must be stronger and my evolution further advanced. Let’s go, we should head back to the village to see how Qin Jiagui and the others are handling things."

Su Yu had thoroughly provoked fear and crushed the resistance of the people of Freedom Village at the last moment. Even after he left, he was certain none dared to revolt against Qin Jiagui and the others, especially with Murong Dingyuan and Ruan Minghong, the two Level Five warriors, in the vicinity.

Su Yu patted his hair and, to his surprise, found it hadn’t shortened even after growing much longer, at length reaching his knees. Shaking his head helplessly and having no time to dwell upon it, Su Yu shot towards Freedom Village.

When Su Yu returned to Freedom Village, he noticed it was still relatively quiet, with hundreds of villagers standing quietly to one side, arms hanging by their sides.

These villagers, most of them being Fourth Order Black Iron Warriors, dared not entertain rebellious ideas or any other ulterior motives. They obediently stood aside, watching as Su Yu stepped inside from the outskirts of the village.

Every one of them felt a chill run down their spine upon seeing Su Yu. Avoiding his eye, their fearful expressions were plain to see.

"Young Yu, haha." Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. Su Yu blinked, and a surge of jubilation swept him. He quickened his pace, grinning widely. Up ahead, Zhang Zhongmou approached him with a broad smile.

When Su Yu left, Zhang Zhongmou was still lying on the ground. Now, he was back after only half an hour and Zhang Zhongmou was already awake. Even Ada widened his eyes as he examined Zhang Zhongmou.

The heart of Zhang Zhongmou now contained a "Heart Core" that had been implanted with a fusion of "God Source Stone". Both the God Source Stone and the Heart Core were the high-tech crystallization of "Atlantis". While Ada used his own blood as the medium, he activated these two objects, completely merging them into Zhang Zhongmou’s heart. Using the special life-recreating energy of the Heart Core, Zhang Zhongmou’s life was finally saved.

Of course, this was because Zhang Zhongmou’s heart was not damaged at the time, and it was removed for only a short period. Ada’s blood, combined with the God Source Stone and the Artificial Human’s Heart Core, were able to perform this miracle. If any of these elements were missing, it would have been impossible for Zhang Zhongmou to survive.

Most importantly, it was the Artificial Human’s special Heart Core and the brief period of time that mattered. At that time, Zhang Zhongmou, due to the resilient vitality of the Black Iron Warrior, was not completely obliterated and could not be considered truly dead. Otherwise, if a bit more time had passed and Zhang Zhongmou had died completely, even the Heart Core capable of recreating human beings could not bring Zhang Zhongmou back to life.

Zhang Zhongmou rushed over and Su Yu greeted him. The two hugged tightly.

"Old Zhong..." Su Yu softly said, hugging him tightly. This time, if Ada wasn’t there, or if this Chen Xuanbai wasn’t a special "Artificial Human", allowing them to implant Chen Xuanbai’s Heart Core into Zhang Zhongmou’s not fully deceased body in the shortest time, then Zhang Zhongmou would truly be dead, and even the gods could not resurrect the dead.

"How are you feeling now, I mean...your body..." Su Yu let go of Zhang Zhongmou and suddenly thought of something, reminding him of it.

Zhang Zhongmou’s heart now contained the Heart Core and the God Source Stone, so it couldn’t be the same as before.

Zhang Zhongmou smiled and said, "I feel pretty good. It’s just here..." As he spoke, he pointed to his heart, "It’s quite strange. It feels like there’s a strong force surging out with every movement. And, it seems like it can absorb external energy and convert it into a Special Power. It’s quite strange."

Su Yu was surprised, and Ada’s voice echoed in his mind, "It seems, this time, Zhang Zhongmou has turned misfortune into fortune. The Heart Core and God Source Stone’s special abilities are starting to work in his body. As long as nothing else happens, Zhang Zhongmou’s... future achievements will be immeasurable... This is truly a miracle. I thought about this method at the time, but it was just like treating a dead horse as a living one... Who would have thought, a miracle really happened."

Ada clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at Zhang Zhongmou, his eyes full of different meaning. There were very few people who could catch Ada’s eye.

"Su Yu." On the other side, Qin Jiagui had walked over. Su Yu saw that everyone had come forward, and then he saw Xiao Bai, Zhou Zhurou, Zhang Huaqin and others had retreated to one side, standing behind Meng Ting. Meng Ting was still sitting on the ground, her eyes blank. She had lost all her power and was now just an ordinary person. Meng Jun was silently standing beside her without uttering a word.

"Su Yu, how should we deal with them? We can’t make a decision, we can only wait for you to decide." Qin Jiagui pointed to Meng Ting and Xiao Bai and others, saying.

Su Yu nodded and then saw Xu Ruyun tied up to a stake with iron chains on the other side. What surprised him more was that the tendons of Xu Ruyun’s hands and feet had been drawn out and tied together. This method was quite cruel and it made Su Yu startled. He asked, "Who thought of this method?"

Qin Jiagui said, "It was Gu Lingshuang. This method is really strange, none of us thought of it... But it has to be said, this method is very effective. Even if Xu Ruyun is a Level Five strongman, with his tendons tied up like this, he can’t resist at all."

Su Yu nodded, thinking to himself that it must be her. When Gu Lingshuang was captured by the people of Black and White City, they used this method on her. Now she used it against Xu Ruyun which made Su Yu unsure whether to laugh or wince.

Zhang Zhongmou laughed and said, "That guy Xu Ruyun betrayed us and deserves to suffer."

Su Yu thought of something and asked, "What about Bi Rong and Fang Jiong, have any of their people been found?"

Qin Jiagui shook his head and said, "We’ve searched everywhere and haven’t seen them. I’m afraid they..." His face looked a bit unsightly, and he stopped speaking when he got to this point.
