Chapter 314: Chapter 312: Feasting on a Corpse

Intense ghost light filled the depths of Tang Qi’s eyes.

A special scene was slowly taking birth.

The level of this Curio was unimaginably high, making analysis all the more difficult.

[Curio: Corpse Holy Grail.]

[State: Activating.]

[Information Fragment One: In the Old Calendar Era, in the southeastern region of the Federation continent, a triangular area formed by the linear connection of Sweet Water City, Serno Island, and Parrot Island, starting from a certain year, a multitude of mysterious and incomprehensible events occurred over decades. Human deaths in these events were merely ancillary damage; what was truly fatal was the terrifying, almost unstoppable pollution.]

[Information Fragment Two: To resolve this disaster, three Saints joined hands and entered the Mysterious Sea Area. They discovered the “Pollution Source,” which turned out to be the Corpse of an unknown Exotic Realm Monster, which, for unknown reasons, entered Origin Blue Star and decayed deep in the triangular sea area, thus forming a massive Pollution.]

[Information Fragment Three: The three Saints successfully isolated the Pollution. They concentrated the “Monster Corpse” into a Holy Grail, which was a murky sludge of Black Mud. It contained terrible Pollution and some Extraordinary Powers of the monster while it was alive. Consequently, the Holy Grail became a High-level Curio.]

…

“Phew~”

Tang Qi had received several incredible Information Fragments, yet frighteningly, fragments continued to stream by.

There’s no further need for doubt; this Holy Grail is indeed the highest-level Curio Tang Qi has ever seen.

[Information Fragment Four: Because of the Saints’ Sealing, this Curio usually looks like a dirty cup, but once activated, it becomes a terrifying High Order Artifact. Its first use is to eliminate pollution; the concentrated Black Mud from the Monster Corpse can Devour other Monsters or Evil God-created Pollution, but it must be used properly.]

[Information Fragment Five: Its second use allows the user to pour out the Black Mud, using the Holy Grail as control, to re-form a Mysterious Domain. Within this domain, all life, including Transcendents, will be severely weakened and have their Magic Power and Life Force drained. The higher the Level, the greater the suppression experienced, and any life that does not escape the area in time will be completely Devoured…]

When the fifth Information Fragment emerged, Tang Qi’s pupils contracted.

Vaguely, he foresaw the reason behind the cooperation between the Ancestors and the Church and the approach they would choose.

Inside Winston Town, the strongest Transcendent at this moment was undoubtedly Samuel.

She possessed Divine Power, and regardless of how long it had been expended, a god was always a god.

Relying on his Special Ability, Tang Qi gained early Insight into the future.

Samuel, however, with her intensely strong intuition, was only a breath’s slowness behind in having the same epiphany.

“You’re courting death!”

An angry roar came from beneath the mask.

The scarlet cape fluttered, and the bow of the ship beneath Samuel’s feet seemed to come alive again, emitting a horrifying Roar, brought a wind reeking with the stench of blood that wrapped around the “Immortal,” crushing the bloody seas as it stormed towards the Twelve Ancestors.

The towering Immortal, the wailing Ancestors, it seemed as if they would be crushed in the next moment.

But what actually happened was the Ancestors’ wails and screams began to dissipate, and they straightened up one by one. Within the Radiance, each of them held a “Holy Grail,” smiling radiantly.

Unlike before, the Holy Light above the Holy Grails seemed Concealed, unable to harm the Ancestors.

And at this moment, the inside of the Holy Grails was revealed to everyone’s eyes.

Inside was two-thirds filled with murky sludge.

It was almost Solidified, pitch-black, and just one glance would make one feel intense spiritual Pollution, as if beholding giant black mouths relentlessly Devouring your Life, your soul.

“Unknown Exotic Realm Monster Corpse… Concentrated Liquid!”

“Boom~”

As another Information Fragment flashed through Tang Qi’s eyes, the Ancestors all moved simultaneously.

The bodies tilted, and Black Mud flowed out, initially thick and fine. But once it left the Holy Grail, it transformed with a “thunderous” sound into twelve streams of black tsunamis, instantly contaminating all the scarlet seawater into the ultimate Black.

The red ocean was tainted.

A mysterious, terrifying Black Sea Area was born in an instant.

Immortal!

This formidable battleship, once infamous for its recklessness, Solidified upon the collision with the Black Mud and even began to disintegrate.

At an unimaginable speed, it decayed, crumbled, disappeared… Amidst invisible Monster Roars and the babble of Madness, the Immortal vanished.

The incredible turn of events happened in the blink of an eye.

“No!”

Samuel’s angry roar suddenly came through.

Only now did she stoop from her godlike pride, not because she fell from the sky into the Black Mud, looking disheveled, but because she lost the “Immortal,” something precious to her.

The Pain of loss utterly surpassed her current plight of being drawn into the “Mysterious Domain,” where both her Magic Power and Life Force were being rapidly drained.

At the same time, she felt immense pressure.

The divinity she possessed seemed unable to grant exemption.

The force contained within the Black Mud, could it be another kind of power that could confront Divinity, on the same Level?

“Bang~ Bang bang”

Samuel looked up to see twelve disheveled figures falling into the Black Mud.

The Ancestors, they too, had come in.

This is one of the prices!

At the same time, it is also what they wished for.

Since the disaster that night, the Ancestors have been seeking a way to lift the curse and preserve their power and long lifespan.

Years later, they found one.

Through certain channels, the Ancestors learned of the existence of the “Corpse Holy Grail.”

So, after the return of the Spiritual Tide, they signed a “fair” contract with the Bright Church of Secret Phoenix State.

The rest is simple; they borrowed the Holy Grail and, after the return of the Earl, lured her into a mysterious domain resembling a prison cage. Leveraging the domain’s suppression of high-level extraordinary life, they could place themselves and the Earl in the same state.

Even worse off than the Earl.

Taking this opportunity, the twelve of them would partake in devouring the Immortal Earl.

With the death of the Earl, the curse naturally vanished as well.

And the condition they promised to the Church was to completely switch camps and serve the Church unconditionally for ten years.

Compared to the powerful divine power and long life they could obtain, this price was negligible.

From the current scene, it appears they have succeeded.

Corpse Holy Grail!

This powerful artifact hung inverted below the Scarlet Moon, its mouth pointed downward, the black mud still flowing as if endless. Yet below, the black sea area did not rise, and the black mud maintained a strict boundary, right at the original location of the Immortal, forming a sea area.

The thick, horrifying black mud at the boundary twisted and surged upward, forming a barrier that looked incredibly rudimentary.

Above the barrier was the body of the Grail, wrapped in twelve flashes of starlight.

Each beam of starlight represented an Ancestor.

They were now the temporary users of the Holy Grail.

And that act by the Red Robed Bishop earlier was probably the Church aiding them to open the “lid” of the Grail, after all, the seals left by the three Saints would have a tragic outcome for the Ancestors if they tried to forcefully open it.

…

Within the black sludge, twelve figures surrounded Samuel Winston.

Each of them had a grim green light in their eyes.

Tang Qi, Sally, and the Witches all instantly felt a sense of familiarity.

In the “Immortal Legend” comic by leader Esmeralda, there was a similar scene.

The night of the disaster, the Ancestors corrupted by Divine Blood had exactly such eyes.

“Splash”

An Ancestor with the appearance of a robust young man steps through the sludge towards the Earl, his radiance gradually fading.

Even the users of the Corpse Holy Grail would have their life force and Magic Power extracted.

The only thing that could not be extracted was the Divinity within them.

This was the reason the Ancestors had to step in; they could not simply imprison the Earl with the Holy Grail and wait to partake of her Divinity.

The only method was to enter in person, with Divinity against Divinity, using the Grail’s suppression of the Earl to put both parties in the same situation, then overpower and kill the Earl with the advantage of numbers.

Otherwise, Samuel could easily escape.

Once she left the Mysterious Domain, she would be invincible.

The robust youth, apparently “Ragnar,” steps in front of Samuel, his eyes emitting a green light, his face showing unrestrained malice. He viciously pulled up the corners of his mouth and said, “Honorable Count, your guard Ragnar sends his regards.”

As his words fell, the other Ancestors swarmed around like urban mythic Ghouls, a cacophony of messy, chaotic voices rose one after another.

“Count, your chef sends his regards.”

“Tempting Count, I am your Chief Maid.”

“Delicious Count, your Flower farmer sends his regards.”

“Count, I am your Tailor. May I ask you for a piece of fresh flesh, I’m so hungry.”

“I’m so hungry…”

The faces of all who watched turned unsightly, even for the Transcendent ones, such a scene was surely unprecedented.

The Ancestors of the Immortal Council and the Seven Ancestor Alliance… had become like this?

A bizarre, nauseating sensation, like maggots crawling, moved through the onlooking Wild Transcendents’ minds, who couldn’t even hold their breath before revealing themselves from concealment and starting to vomit.

Seizing this opportunity, Tang Qi, too, changed his appearance and emerged from the shadows.

The difference was, he did not vomit. He just watched the scene within the “Black Mud Cage” with a solemn gaze.

In the middle, the disheveled Samuel Winston.

His lean body, the ornate mask, the scarlet cloak, and the pervasive aura of sorrow… With a “boom,” in Tang Qi’s mind, a familiar, shocking scene that once took place in the Illusion World suddenly surfaced.
