Chapter 389: Feng of Shadow 4

The Balance Angel couldn’t refute, so the Flower Language Technique activation was successful.

Bang.

Its legs plunged into the ground, instantly creating two small pits. The sword in its hand loosened, no longer gripped tightly.

Everything quieted down again.

Li Chengyi estimated the amount of Consciousness Power used, which was roughly three-tenths.

This was far better than the instant depletion he had experienced before.

Clearly, the consumption and plundering of Death Energy greatly reduced the difficulty of controlling the Balance Angel.

"If you don’t want to be killed by me, please tell me how to obtain the Equilibrium Imprint," he said, taking the opportunity now because he didn’t know how long he could control the Balance Angel.

The Balance Angel paused for a moment and actually started walking, heading straight to the staircase leading to the third floor.

Click.

It began to rapidly inscribe lines of text on the wall with the tip of its sword.

It actually... had its own consciousness!?

Li Chengyi was shocked.

He looked at the writings on the wall.

Having spent some time with it, he was now barely able to recognize the simple characters of this language.

He now referred to the dictionary Yserine had sent him to understand the meaning of the words.

Gradually, he made out the meaning of the text on the wall.

"The Equilibrium Imprint is formed by the combination of various subordinate Imprints, including the Giant Strength Imprint, Mind Eye Imprint, Strong Calculation Imprint, and Circulation Imprint."

"Each Imprint has its unique method of acquisition and promotion, and some Imprints even contradict each other. It is necessary to study the potential effects to discover the combination for the Equilibrium Imprint."

After translating with difficulty, Li Chengyi thought for a moment and then said,

"Which is the simplest Imprint to obtain? Write quickly, or I will hit you."

"...." The Balance Angel swiftly inscribed with its sword.

"The simplest Imprint is the Giant Strength Imprint, to obtain it, one must enhance one’s physical strength to the limit. After reaching the limit, use Death Energy as a core to combine with various materials and equipment to create a one-time Imprint Orb inside the body.

Finally, open a Non-Door, allowing oneself to break through the limits, and enter Sublimation through the Imprint Orb, thereby obtaining the imprint characteristics."

"The world restricts us, preventing us from freely obtaining Imprints. Only by opening a Non-Door, can we communicate with that part of the Black Sea which is beyond cognition, thus allowing the self to Sublimate and condense the Imprint."

"The opening of the Non-Door shouldn’t be too long, otherwise, we would lose everything just as well, life and consciousness itself are derived from Order. Outside the Non-Door, there are many things without any order; they are outright Chaos. Merely interacting with them could cause us to disintegrate."

As the Angel quickly inscribed, the purple light of the Flower Language Technique began to flicker on the back of Li Chengyi’s hand.

The strong control lasted for about five minutes, much longer than before.

"So, there are three steps to obtaining the Giant Strength Imprint.

First: Train oneself to the limit of strength.

Second: Create an Imprint Orb inside the body using Death Energy and other materials.

Third: Open one’s Non-Door, briefly communicating with the Black Sea."

After finishing writing, the Balance Angel put down the sword and stood still.

"What are the effects of the Giant Strength Imprint? What are the steps and materials required to create the Imprint Orb? Tell me, or I will kill you now."

Li Chengyi was now somewhat proficient at using the Power of the Flower Language.

Although he had to add a threat to every sentence, the effects were undeniably strong.

The Balance Angel quickly moved to a new wall and began to etch new text.

"Required materials: Death Energy provided in unlimited quantities, one heart of a mature Illusionary Dragon, three units of Myst Crocodile Breath...."

What followed was a series of messy material names.

The Angel even drew a diagram of the manufacturing process.

"The effect of the Giant Strength Imprint is to perfectly increase one’s strength by tenfold."

"...truly pure strength," Li Chengyi drew in a breath of cold air.

A tenfold increase... If he had ten times the strength, his speed and explosive power would instantly soar to a terrifying level.

Even the Silent Angel only had the strength of around a thousand tons.

If he could deliver two or three thousand tons of destructive power with all his techniques enhanced, he would exterminate the Silent Angel with ease. Although he didn’t know if he could defeat the protection of a Grade Nine force field, any Grade Eight would be done with a single punch in his presence.

Quickly, he severed the inscribed wall with his sword and carried it down to the hall below before returning to find the Balance Angel.

He had obtained the methods and manufacturing process for the Giant Strength Imprint.

Li Chengyi continued to control the greatly weakened Balance Angel, attempting to acquire the methods for other Imprints.

As it turned out, the methods for all Imprints were quite similar: training certain abilities to the extreme, then creating an Imprint Orb, opening a Non-Door, and communicating with the Black Sea.

After acquiring all the information, Li Chengyi was left with little Consciousness Power.

He watched the Balance Angel, which had said all there was to say, with the purple light on the back of his hand flickering again, signaling urgency once more.

"Go up and obliterate all obstacles, or I’ll beat you up," he commanded.

The Balance Angel paused for a moment, picked up its sword, and turned to head upstairs.

Li Chengyi didn’t follow but remained at the foot of the stairs, watching it leave.

Soon.

The figure of the Balance Angel disappeared around the corner to the third floor.

Boom!!

A loud explosion sounded, and the entire floor trembled violently.

Li Chengyi waited for a while but did not see the Balance Angel reappear.

Clearly, it no longer had the strength to return.

"Now that I have the methods to obtain the Imprints, I can greatly enhance my personal combat skills using the Evil Flower, Death Energy System, and the Imprint System, making it my main battle system. That is the path forward for me.

This venture into the Blind Spot has yielded far more than expected... it’s time to end everything."

Compared to the possibility of modifying the Flying Yi System, one’s evolution and Sublimation are undoubtedly much more reliable, and the potential is vastly greater.

At least in the Black Sea, he had seen too many terrifying creatures.

According to the Balance Angel, those extremely powerful Black Sea creatures reached such heights because they had more and stronger Imprints.

As long as he mastered enough Imprints, he too could continue to rise in traits and walk a stronger path.

With a sigh, Li Chengyi simply leaned against the wall on the spot and rested.

Once both his consciousness power and his body had recovered to their peak, he would go up to the third floor, seek the Whispering Ring, and leave the blind spot through the mysterious door.

As for the materials for the Imprint Orb, he would try to see if he could find any, and if not, he would attempt to trade with the snail merchant through Yserine; he might be able to purchase what he needed.

If that still proved impossible, he could try trading with Yserine’s teacher.

Tong City.

The aircraft docking area.

A craft bearing the mark of the security bureau slowly decelerated, landed, and then docked on one of the dedicated pads.

Barton pulled out his phone to scan and pay, pushed open the cabin door, and jumped down.

The others followed, disembarking through other doors.

On the spacious green lawn, personnel from the Ethics Committee of Yi Country’s branch had already arrived to pick them up.

Two middle-aged women, both advanced in years and dressed in teal uniforms, were there to greet them.

The long-haired woman in front, with an indifferent demeanor, carried a crescent moon-shaped green longsword on her back and wore the rank of colonel from the Jiu Yi of Yi Country on her shoulder.

"Are you Barton, Karan, and Angeal, who have applied for asylum? Do you have confidential information about Star Lake to report?" The woman approached and with a wave of her hand, a layer of invisible force field immediately enveloped everyone, along with the aircraft.

The noise outside was quickly cut off, and the surroundings became quiet.

"This must be Commissioner Xie Songning, right? Thank you for your assistance. We barely escaped from Star Lake, and there are assassins chasing after us. Please do not underestimate the situation; we urgently need you to dispatch experts to intercept them," Barton said with a haggard face, quickly saluting.

"Star Lake has just been repelled and heavily damaged not long ago. This is Yi Country, not those small nations outside. We are the strongest empire of the Earth-Moon. If they dare to cause trouble here, no matter how many come, they are doomed!" Xie Songning said indifferently.

She was a typical Yi Country aristocrat; from the moment she spoke, one could feel a towering arrogance that looked down upon everything.

Barton and the others felt uneasy about this attitude but were unable to refute it, as Yi Country was indeed, aside from White Star, the strongest empire in human history.

Therefore, her words weren’t necessarily wrong.

"Xiao Xing, take someone and check the place they came from," Xie Songning instructed.

"Yes!" The other middle-aged woman nodded, never giving Barton and the rest a second glance as she walked away and boarded the nearest aircraft.

Whirr.

The aircraft took off, flying straight toward Huanshi County.

"Let’s go. For your safety, follow me first, and record the details you know related to Star Lake," Xie Songning said with a grave voice.

"Just sending her alone, isn’t that too careless? That is a top monster from Star Lake, one capable of forcing it back!" Karan expressed his concern. "It’s very possible that they escaped from the blind spot. Many of Star Lake’s facilities related to the blind spot had accidents."

"Blind Spot? Are you joking?" Xie Songning laughed, "If it were the Blind Spot, there’s even less to worry about. Creatures from the blind spot that come here would be severely suppressed and won’t survive long. They will decompose on their own due to environmental incompatibility. Alright, you must have been deceived by Star Lake. Follow me."

She could not be bothered with further talk, turned around, and headed toward a sedan in the distance.

Barton and the others had no choice but to follow.

But they hadn’t taken more than a few steps.

Boom!!

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.

In the sky behind them, a blinding fireball slowly burst open.

A fierce gust swept across the area, tilting the lawn, and creating a ring-shaped pattern on the ground.

Several aircraft that had just taken off were blown about, tumbling away into the distance before they barely managed to regain stability.

Everyone was stunned.

For a full two seconds, no one could react.

At last.

"Attack! Call the police!"

"It’s a terror attack!! Run!! Scatter!!"

"Mom! Mom, where are you!?"

Amidst the shrieks and cries, the crowd scattered in all directions.

Barton, Xie Songning, and the others stopped and looked back.

The explosion had occurred right where Xiao Xing had just departed, heading to Huanshi County to investigate.

The aircraft that exploded was the one she had taken.

"What’s going on!?" Xie Songning’s face turned ugly as she instinctively reached for the handle of her sword at her back.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a shadow flashed by, momentarily crossing her field of vision.

The shadow seemed to be a person, flickering rapidly in the shadows.

It first appeared just below the exploding aircraft. In just two seconds, it located their direction and traversed hundreds of meters, approaching them.

"Daring to attack an aircraft in front of me, killing my subordinates! Seeking death!!"

A murderous look flashed in Xie Songning’s eyes.

"Pure One Tri-Sun Blade!"

Cling.

Instantly, the green crescent sword behind her took flight, like a bolt of lightning, and at a terrifying speed several times the speed of sound, she aimed a blow at the assailant’s head.

The piercing sound of a sonic boom exploded in an instant, leaving a trail of grey-white airflow where the sword passed.

As a high-ranking expert from the Ethics Committee stationed in the provincial capital, Xie Songning had once easily defeated the younger generation of experts from the Thirteen Flying Flow who had come for exchange and sparring.

After many years of secluded cultivation, her current strength, when exerted to the fullest, was at least around Grade Six. It might even be higher.

This was also why the headquarters had sent her to meet them.

In the entire province, there were no more than three who could surpass her in strength.

But at that moment...

Clang!

A loud noise resounded.

The shadow abruptly stopped, and with a fierce slap, the incoming Flying Yi was struck down by a hand.

The terrifying, ear-piercing sound was like thunder, causing the eardrums of everyone within a hundred meters to burst, leaving them in agonizing pain.

Xie Songning, who had already activated her protective force field, was about to continue controlling the Flying Yi.

But she was horrified to discover the Flying Yi didn’t respond at all!
