Chapter 802: Success? (Part One)

The [Revival Altar] wasn’t that magnificent and mysterious. It looked like a basic stone altar that was about six meters tall, and the grey stone surface was full of marks left by time. The engravings on it already turned vague under the corrosion of time, and most of them were unclear to the human eye.

The top of the altar was the most terrifying part.

There was a complex blue magic array, and it was engraved at the top of the altar. To put it more accurately, it seemed like these blue lines and patterns were born with this altar, and they were moving. Like a heart, these engravings were expanding and contracting in a mystical rhythm, and it looked like a flower above the altar.

Only at a few split seconds, the thin and granular magic engravings would show themselves, and there were as many of these thin lines as the drops of water in the ocean. There was no way that Fei could tell which type of magic array this was.

Roars and colliding noises came from behind.

Fei turned around and took a good look.

Evil God Kluivert was slamming his body against the energy sphere around him like an imprisoned lion, and his energy spilled in all directions. However, he wasn’t able to break this light prison created by the God-Imprisonment Scroll that contained godly runes. Even his evil sword could only leave faint marks on the silver energy sphere.

The God-Imprisonment Scroll was the most advanced product of the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory, and it almost contained all the godly runes that Akara and Cain decrypted. Even though Kluivert was a real god, he wasn’t back at his prime, and he couldn’t break free from this light prison easily.

Since Kluivert couldn’t get out soon, Fei had time to focus all his attention onto the altar.

Fei moved his spirit energy that was made into many thin strands. Then, these strands were made into a net, and the king shifted it toward the mysterious magic array carefully. Fei had studied magic arrays from both Akara and Cain, and he also learned all kinds of magic arrays and magic principles that were popular in the Mythical Era from [Demon King’s Sword]. Therefore, he knew that all the magic arrays were created by simple magic pathings, even if the magic arrays were insanely complicated.

If Fei were able to figure out how a single magic pathing worked, he could solve the problem at hand.

However, since almost all the mages knew about this, the creators of the magic arrays would place protective traps or fake pathings in the magic arrays. This way, it was much more challenging to figure out the principles behind the magic arrays. If someone identified the incorrect pathing and triggered the magic array, death was unavoidable.

In most cases, the more complex a magic array was, the more protected it would be.

The reason why this [Revival Altar] was powerful and could grind away the energy in that seal which imprisoned Kluivert for thousands of years was due to this complex blue magic array. That alone showed how advanced and well-protected this magic array was.

Therefore, breaking this magic array would be a slow and tedious process for Fei.

Even if he weren’t bothered, about half a month was required for Fei to decode this god-tier magic array.

However, the God-Imprisonment Scroll couldn’t lock Kluivert in there for that long.

As soon as Kluivert broke that light prison, Fei would have to escape.

Fortunately for Fei, his mission wasn’t to decrypt this magic array. Instead, he had to destroy it. All he had to do was to break one small magic pathing in this array to stop it. Just like a well-calibrated machine, only pulling an important screw was enough to mess it up and make it stop working.

After five minutes passed, a joyous expression appeared on Fei’s face.

He already figured out the few key magic pathings in this god-tier magic array, and all that he had to do was to cut these magic pathings with his spirit energy. Then, this magic array would lose its effect and stop eating away the seal that had been here for thousands of years.

However, this process was dangerous as well.

Destroying a magic array would create a backlash. The backlash of this god-tier magic array would be close to the full-force strike of a peak Burning Sun Lord. Morning Sun, Rising Sun, Burning Sun; Fei was only equivalent to a Rising Sun Lord, so he had to be careful. Otherwise, this backlash would be enough to kill him.

Soon, sweat drops appeared on Fei’s forehead, and the sweat drops mixed with the blood that was oozing out of the wounds on his body as they dripped down.

Fei recalled a secret spirit energy technique in that mysterious purple scroll, and it was fit for this job. After he familiarized himself with the technique, he started to try to sever the magic pathings carefully.

Boom!

A deep-blue light beam suddenly shot out of the [Revival Altar], and it rubbed on Fei’s shoulder before penetrating the half-collapsed roof of the [Sacrificial Holy Palace]. This power was insane! After destroying the roof, it shattered the blue energy barrier around this city, disappeared into the sea water.

This power was indefensible and breathtaking.

After it disappeared for a while, a faint blue light still radiated in the air.

Even though the blue energy barrier around the city could recover quickly, it wasn’t fast this time. Fortunately, the seawater was pushed away by an invisible force as if it were frozen. Therefore, the seawater didn’t pour into the city and destroy everything.

“Success!”

Fei was thrilled as he had successfully severed those important magic pathings in this blue magic array. Also, he had triggered that powerful backlash and dodged it in time.

Right now, the blue magic array on top of the [Revival Altar] was dimming down. Like a balloon that got a hole in it, its power was slowly escaping.

“Damn It! You actually… unforgivable human!”

Sensing the change in the altar, Kluivert’s expression got dark.

He struggled and struck the light prison more and more, and shocking white marks were left on the energy sphere. It looked like the God-Imprisonment Scroll couldn’t last any longer.

“This power… It isn’t Mr. Kluivert’s strength. Could it…”

Standing in front of the gate of the [Sacrificial Holy Palace] which was the only intact part of this palace, that princess of the Sea Tribe looked at that blue energy beam which soon disappeared and lost her initial composure. She had been waiting for the battle inside this godly palace to finish, but the series of changes made her sacrifices become useless.

“Could it be that this damn human is the potential change mentioned in the prophecy?… That damn skeleton didn’t tell me that much! This human is this powerful?”

Thinking back to that mysterious black figure and the agreement that he made with the entire Sea Tribe, this woman suddenly realized something. It seemed like that golden skeleton who was hiding in the black cloak had omitted some key information.

What was more embarrassing was that she was too proud and looked down on all humans. She didn’t do a thorough investigation on the background of this young human named Alexander, and she had made a huge error of judgment.

“Could it be that the continent really fell into the control of humans? Are the humans this terrifying already?”

This woman looked at the [Sacrificial Holy Palace] which was in shambles and thought for a bit before turning into a dash of golden light and disappearing into the sky of the city.

“Hahahaha! B*stards! Come at me! I will let you get a good taste of me, Buckingham!”

Standing at the portal outside the energy barrier, Buckingham was covered in blood and no longer had his graceful appearance. The magic spear in his hands was used as a staff, and he blocked this portal so that no one could pass by.

Right now, it looked like he was soaked in a blood pool, and he was in a terrible condition.
