The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 308 - 163: Doomsday Messenger, Ascending Rainbow Light!_1

Under the cover of the Darkest Abyss, black vines tangled around Dongfang Xu and the Red Flame Tiger, binding their hands and feet, brushing against their faces- the cold touch was like a snake slithering along their ankles, making their flesh creep incessantly.

Standing in the center was Ye Hanjun, his dark hair wildly thrashing about, an aura of power radiating from him.

There was no light in his eyes, he seemed like an empty shell devoid of a soul. The inky tendrils from all directions could only crawl at his feet, wailing softly.

Is this... a human or a ghost?

Is this reality or a dream?

Dongfang Xu felt as if he was trapped in an insubstantial world, trying his best to distinguish between the boundaries of illusion and reality.

But he could not find anything, could not make sense of anything, his eyes empty, lost in a daze.

"Roar..."

The Red Flame Tiger lowered its head, unable to suppress the fear coursing through its veins.

It was a demon beast of the flame domain and shouldn’t react so strongly to the dark.

But behind the darkness was something far more terrifying, the boiling demonic nature!

Its principle was too pure, too dark, too cold, too twisted!

It was reflected not only on the physical body but also mirrored on a deeper level- the soul!

Who among the living could endure such a sight?

"Whoosh~~~"

The Darkest Abyss gradually shrank until it disappeared from the center point.

Ye Hanjun let the sunlight fall once again, and the Darkest Demon Eye surveyed the surroundings, seeing clearer and farther than before.

He twisted his waist and flexed his arm, discovering that his body was now more agile, more powerful.

——Ascending to the 2nd rank of the ’Demon Servant’ brought about a slight enhancement of his physical abilities too!

——The previously negligible contradictions of his \’Super Spirituality’ had disappeared completely!

Ultimately, it was due to the fusion of powers.

If the levels of the two abilities were not balanced and the equilibrium was not maintained, the actual effectiveness could not be fully manifested.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Hanjun swept his gaze across the surroundings, and he could see the details of everything within a radius of 500 meters as if it was bathed in firelight.

With a little focus, he was able to discern the contours of objects even a thousand meters away.

This terrifying insight ability was nothing like that of the 2nd rank; it was on par with the perception of a 3rd rank Patron.

With a thought, Ye Hanjun merged with the shadows of the trees.

Dongfang Xu, still slowly recovering his senses, was stunned once again.

Master Han... disappeared?!

In broad daylight, he and the tiger kept their vigilant gaze on the man, not daring to avert their eyes for even a moment.

To disappear into the shadows in an instant, blending into nature as if he was a part of it!

What a miraculous stealth ability! If used for assassination or ambush, how could the enemy escape?

"Not bad, as expected..."

Ye Hanjun reappeared, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips.

The Demon Servant had finally leveled up.

With this, his concerns have significantly reduced when facing opponents of the same rank.

Those who could be marked as his enemies were now limited to a handful of the strongest beings in the same rank and... the 3rd rank!

Recalling the time, he realized that it had been just three and a half months since he arrived at the Giant Frog Marsh.

Given this rate of growth, he might even progress faster than he had initially speculated.

"Hee hee hee... why doesn’t it hurt anymore?"

The three-eyed white crow circled the sky swiftly, quickly descending on the ’dead’ Doomsday Messenger.

It didn’t use ’Self-healing’, nor did it shatter its eyeballs to infuse blood energy into Mo’s main body.

But Mo suddenly came back to life!

An eerie rainbow light stained black and grey fell from the sky, completely engulfing its body.

It was akin to a fish, about to die from dehydration, returning to water once again.

Mo got up, hanging its head low as it hugged its shoulders, disbelief apparent on its half-visible face.

"Pain, pain... It doesn’t hurt at all?"

"No no no! This can’t be! Who stole my pain!!"

Mo was furious.

The Red Flame Tiger, who could generally understand human language and had the intellect of a ten-year-old, was quite baffled.

It exchanged glances with the master in confusion, unable to understand what sort of creature this was.

Even a fool knew that the descending rainbow light signified the Ascending Rainbow Light for a Mud-cast fetus.

And once ascended, most of the Fond Spirits experienced significant "improvement" or healing.

For a select few to completely recover was not unthinkable either.

With these anomalies being so distinct, why did this individual, capable of clearly articulating human speech, seem so disgruntled and unwilling?

"Talent identification!"

"Sigh..."

Ye Hanjun heaved a sigh.

In this sigh, 30% was contentment, 70% admiration, and the remaining 90%... complete helplessness.

Mo had ascended.

For a while, it had been stuck at the perfect state of the Mud-cast fetus. All it required was Ye Hanjun, its Patron, to advance to the 2nd rank and then it could break through.

Similar to Huazhu’s previous situation, due to the excessive accumulations, Mo didn’t merely step to the next rank, but it leapt- and achieved a Small Achievement in Ascending Rainbow Light status in one fell swoop.

Of course, this was a delightful achievement.

But its ’Chaos Spirit Pattern’ was even more impressive!

Rather than mention other abilities, the skill ’Embrace of Love’ seemed to be an upgraded version of ’Giving Thanks’.
