Chapter 924: Chapter 463: Ming Xi’s Opportunity_2

Ming Xi was momentarily stunned; she had thought Long Dangdang would continue to persuade her not to use the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace. She didn’t expect him to say that.

Long Dangdang turned his head to glance at her and, seeing the surprise in her eyes, he smiled slightly and sent a private message: "The risks of the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace are huge, but equally, the benefits to you are substantial. So, if we can minimize the risks as much as possible, wouldn’t that mean there are only advantages left? Isn’t it just about defeating an opponent of a higher rank? Next time, we will create an opportunity for you, ensuring safety, but you must promise me, you can’t take risks on your own anymore."

Only then did Ming Xi understand, and her beautiful eyes immediately lit up. She grasped Long Dangdang’s point at once. That’s right! Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to use the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace to devour soul power and enhance oneself. Defeating a more powerful enemy wasn’t an easy task to begin with, and the soul strength of normal professionists couldn’t actually be gauged. Magic professionists had stronger spiritual power, but as an assassin, one couldn’t just randomly kill other professionists. Once the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace fully burned soul power, it was almost a situation of nine deaths and one life. Back in the long war against the demon tribe, the Assassins Temple actually had three powerful experts who had the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace, but all died before they could fully mature, while the Cyclical Reincarnation Spirit Furnace over at the Shadow Assassins was eventually nurtured by the Cyclical Reincarnation Saintess at the time, and the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace never really radiated its true brilliance.

But what they were now facing were wraith entities, which was different! As is known, the core support of wraith entities was the power of soul, which was stronger than the soul power of normal professionists of the same rank. If they could meet the requirements of the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace by killing high-level wraith entities, could they accelerate the evolution of the Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace and thereby continuously evolve Ming Xi’s own strength? The bone dragon they had just slain had already given an answer. It had advanced her Spiritual Power by more than four levels! This was simply unimaginable in the past.

Ming Xi had initiated the attack with a resolve to risk her life, but now, with Long Dangdang’s suggestion, it seemed to have become a shortcut instead.

At that moment, the group had already started to move faster, heading swiftly in the predetermined direction. This had been planned in advance; they had even rehearsed the route via teleportation, so now they could say it was with great familiarity.

Soon, they saw their second target not far away, which was also near Stone Gate City, just in a different direction, about five hundred kilometers away from the previous wraith altar, very close to the limit of Long Dangdang’s mid-range teleportation.

They couldn’t tell what state the wraith altar they had destroyed was in, but it had certainly caused chaos and prompted reinforcements from the Wraith Kingdom. Seeing the rising wraith energy in the distance, reminiscent of signals of distress, Long Dangdang nodded to Ling Menglu, and Qing Mann once again appeared, opening the Slow Delay Domain.

This was also their ability to initiate another attack so soon, relying on Ling Menglu’s Light God’s Physique’s formidable recovery capability, coupled with being well-prepared in advance.

Ling Menglu was still standing on the Golden Demon Suppression Tree, chanting spells while being nourished by the energy of life from the tree. The Golden Demon Suppression Tree naturally basked in the Divine Luminous aura as well, emitting an even richer energy of life to replenish what the group had lost earlier. This was also their second recovery after a brief rest, also within Long Dangdang’s plan.

The team was again ready for battle. Five minutes later, the Slow Delay Domain from the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace could no longer hold back the enormous divine energy bursting from the Archangel’s Scepter, and Long Dangdang and his partners were fully prepared for battle. Ming Xi vanished into thin air again, feeling somewhat eager to encounter powerful wraiths, thinking she might have another chance to advance!

The Self Sacrifice Spirit Furnace was domineering, but the feedback of soul energy after the sacrifice was nearly effect-free, at most causing her newly advanced cultivation base to be somewhat unstable. But what did instability matter? She could slowly adjust later; the most important thing was to advance. After completing this raid, they were going to return, and there would be no such opportunity later. Naturally, Ming Xi didn’t want to give up such a chance.

The splendid golden light rose into the sky once again, and everyone’s vigilance immediately shot up to its peak. The dark sky was pierced open by a column of golden light, as the mighty divine luminous power once again overlapped with the sunlight, restoring the light to the land.

The Archangel’s Scepter was activated once more, and the figure of the six-winged blazing seraph appeared again in the mid-air. If it were not for the Light God’s Physique, Ling Menglu, who now only possessed the 8th Rank of cultivation, would certainly not have been able to consecutively cast two godly vessels with just a short rest in between. But a Divine Maiden is a Divine Maiden after all, whether it be her innate physique or the godly vessels in her hands, both matched her incredibly well. Even under consecutive use, Ling Menglu appeared very stable and showed no signs of strain.

What surprised the others was that, when the divine light soared into the sky and even the six-winged blazing seraph had already manifested in the air, the distant wraith altar did not release another 9th Rank powerful wraith. Through the remote spiritual perception of Long Dangdang via Little Evil, they merely sensed a sense of panic among the wraiths’ stronghold defense forces.

An undead altar without the protection of top-tier power experts? In earlier reconnaissance, there were two 9th Rank powerful wraiths here! The reason why this place was chosen as the second target was that the defensive strength was comparatively lower, but now, it seemed even lower than anticipated!

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Long Dangdang understood what had happened. It wasn’t that there weren’t any 9th Rank experts guarding the place, but rather, after their previous attack, the 9th Rank experts who were originally stationed here had gone to support the destroyed wraith altar, leaving this place empty. Hidden by the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace, the powerful wraiths that had rushed to the other altar wouldn’t be able to return quickly—they were probably still hundreds of kilometers away and couldn’t make it back anytime soon.

This could also be considered an unexpected boon, smoother than planned.

The massive Golden Sacred Sword descended from the sky once more, fiercely falling down and turning the distant ground into a splendor of light. The signals of war in the sky were almost instantly eradicated, and the vast wraith energy began to be rapidly converted.

Ling Menglu descended from the sky, landing next to Long Dangdang with a somewhat pale face. This time, without joining the battle, Long Dangdang took her hand and applied the Angel’s Blessing to her twice in succession. As a Knight proficient in the light specialty, he could also perform supporting magic! Since there was no fighting involved, he naturally provided assistive healing to his girlfriend.

On the ground, Qing Mann had already outlined the teleportation array formation. Looking at the distant wraith altar where the light elements were surging more and more, Tao Linlin couldn’t help saying, "It would be nice if they were all this easy."

"Let’s go!" Long Dangdang initiated the Anchor of Time and Space himself, activating the spatial teleportation, and the six people filed in one after another, once again removing themselves from the battlefield via teleportation. The destruction of this second wraith altar was very smooth.

The light flickered and they had already appeared in another cave, another place for rest and recuperation.

Long Dangdang looked towards Ling Menglu and said, "We need to change our plan. Judging from the situation at the previous wraith altar, the Wraith Kingdom must manage its forces against the Federation’s Legion at the front line, so there is a limited number of powerful wraiths stationed in the rear. After we destroyed the first altar, the guardians of the nearby wraith altars all ran over to support that location. The thinking of wraiths is relatively rigid. This means that our third target may also likely be unguarded. Menglu, this round, I will take down the altar, and you will support me instead, purifying the wraith energy."
