The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 837 - 338: Double Pupils_2

The skin in this area previously reflected a dark, red gloss akin to scales or armor, extraordinarily wondrous.

At this moment, seemingly drawn by external forces, they shed their dark tones, erupting in an even more brilliant red glow, instantly as crimson as fresh blood.

Soon, the wind gently blew, the cold piercing to the bone marrow.

Ye Hanjun clenched his fists tightly, with the Netherworld manifesting behind him.

Amidst rolling black mist, Demon Soldiers and Generals roared furiously.

Accompanied by rolling grey clouds, another Ancient Stone Gate appeared, as if transcending time, weaving through the river of eras, standing there towering and unyielding, as majestic as a mountain.

Compared to that, the "Sea of Healing" originating from Ye Yin appeared like a fragile ship in a storm, squeezed between two great phenomena, wobbling and possibly capsizing at any moment.

"My true name, Ye Tianzi!"

The youth in blood-red clothes glided through the air, and within a brief moment, had taken his place in the sarcophagus.

He reached out his palm, fragments shining with stellar blood light, responding to his touch, sometimes aligning like birds, sometimes dancing with the lightness of butterflies.

In just a moment, a rainbow filled the sky, an ancient life magnetic field boiling and burning like an ocean, emitting dazzling and extraordinary divine lights, even making Corpse Mountain and Sea of Blood panic.

Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying couldn’t help but bow their backs, unable to look directly at this figure any longer.

Nearby, Goose Immortal, Huazhu, Chimera cubs... all struggled mightily to suppress the impulse to prostrate themselves, stabilizing their minds, forcibly remaining calm.

Always steady, Absolute String, apart from The Way of Music, rarely concerned itself with anything else.

But at this moment, it actually emitted a deep roaring sound, like the roar of a Beast stuck at the throat.

As the music played "clang, clang, clang," the entire instrument trembled violently.

"This is... the Ancestor’s War Soldier..."

"Ancient War God... Shura Bow... the top king among Beast Soldiers..."

Ye Liuying murmured, the awe she couldn’t hide clearly visible in each microexpression.

Recalling a more terrifying piece of information, she steeled herself and asked softly,

"Elder... You’re not possibly still alive, are you?"

"The Ancestor fell during the fifth epoch of the Near Ancient Era, along with His two Fetus of Divine Enthronement, perished together."

"It is said, the Great Slaughter God was destroyed both in body and spirit, not even a bit of cellular fragment remained."

"Due to the particularity of its bloodline, no Demon inherited His lineage, thus His death meant the extinction of the Great Slaughter God’s line."

"But Beast Soldiers, by all means a long-lived species, if well-maintained, can theoretically live for a very very long time."

"You are again a supreme deity of this faction, could it be you were lying dormant for many years... and have come back to life?"

"You’re overthinking it."

Ye Tianzi laughed lightly, "Resurrect from death, how easy is that to talk about?"

"I am just a soul fragment from when the original body was alive; after the body died, I inherited His memories and last wishes, that’s all."

"In principle, my duty is only one, and that is to guard the great tomb, ensuring its normal operations."

"But if my family is in trouble, I cannot simply ignore it."

Ye Tianzi gripped a fragment, his lips curving into a smile, stating undeniably,

"Ye Shura’s descendant—Ye Hanjun."

"I will move into your flesh, and together we will leave this great tomb."

"If you fail in your calamity, dying by the hands of Heavenly Dao, I will reverse your flesh into ’Corpse Soldier,’ temporarily maintain the stability of the Contract Imprints, ensuring the Supreme Saint Marks can activate at any time, then deliver a painful strike to Ye Clan’s enemies."

"If you successfully overcome the calamity, forging a miracle not seen in five Cosmic Eras."

"Then you will wield the remnants of the Shura Bow, and if the tribe faces disaster, with Sea of Blood returning to Ghost Lamp Abyss, the fallen mythic Beast Soldiers will reveal their divine form at their peak... burning out their final light and heat."

Ye Tianzi spoke in an extremely calm tone, uttering these grand and sweeping words.

Ye Liuying smacked her lips, looking at Ye Tianzi, then at Ye Hanjun, remaining silent.

Ye Hanjun, at the focus of attention, thought swiftly, dreamlike and surreal.

"So that’s how it is..."

"Within the great tomb... the mythic combat power still lingers, still a part of the clan’s foundation..."

"And such power... will merge with me... filling my flesh?"

"Don’t worry, I will restrain most of the divinity, so as not to burden your body."

"Of course, there might be minor changes in appearance, like a change of hair color or eye color."

"These are easy to dismiss, just pretend you’re under a curse, which will eventually fade over time."

Ye Tianzi casually, as if offhandedly said,

"Are you ready?"

"The last year, you will endure the greatest pain of your life."

"However, even if you are plagued by misfortune, I can ensure a 100% successful fusion."

"Gua!"

GuaGua couldn’t help but interject,

"Big tadpole, you’re going to transform into a humanoid Beast Soldier!"

"Ratty cloth is the container for the Calamity God, and you’re the container for the War God, now you can compete on equal terms!"

"Little fellow."

Ye Tianzi suddenly looked towards GuaGua, seriously warning,

"After we leave here, besides Ye Hanjun, all memories of me in other beings, whether human or beast, will be sealed."

"But your bloodline is there, I don’t want to harm you forcefully."

"After we leave here, if you vaguely still remember me, remember, not a word you shouldn’t say, keep it all bottled up inside."

"If because of you, this assassin’s trump card loses its secrecy."
