Hail the King

Chapter 688: Endless Sun Anomalies

Everything in the cave went back to normal and quieted down.

Blood was being spilled, and it dyed part of the wall. As it slid down the wall following the texture of the natural stones, both the wall and the ground were stained.

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand slowly slid down the wall powerlessly, and his body left a horrifying blood trail on the wall.

That strike from Fei almost destroyed all the bones in his body, and cracks even formed on his skin. He wasn’t in a good situation. Also, there was now a deep human-shape dent on the wall, and it was shocking.

However, the vitality of a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord was impressive.

Even though he was this injured, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand didn’t die right away. He still had his consciousness, and he looked tired yet also relaxed. Since he didn’t die after taking that strike from the King of Chambord, he was going to live on. Although the injury was severe, the holy power of the Holy Church was one of the energies that were best at healing. As long as he didn’t die, he would survive.

"Puff...... Eh! King of Chambord... this war hammer... your power... d.a.m.n, you win!"

Even though Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand looked unwilling, he gritted his teeth and officially admitted defeat.

The bones in his body were all broken, and his holy power was depleted. Right now, he was lying on the ground like a dying animal. As he tried his best to glanced around the cave one more time, he asked weakly, "Losing to a talented genius like you isn’t shameful, but I have a question that I hope Your Majesty could answer."

Fei put away the [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher] and looked at Senxi.

"Go on," he said and nodded.

"What is... your Sun Anomaly? How is there living beings in here? And how are they almost as powerful as us? In addition, you even used your Sun Anomaly within my [G.o.ds’ Forbidden Land] ... How did you do all this?" Perhaps it was because he wanted to know the answers badly, Senxi somehow managed to sit up, and his pale face turned a little red.

Fei sneered and said slowly, "My Sun Anomaly is called the [Den of Evil], and I don’t know why there are creatures in here. After I advanced into Sun-Cla.s.s, this is the first time that I used it. That is that. I thought everyone’s Sun Anomaly is like this. In terms of your last question. Hahaha! Do you think I will tell you that? These kinds of secret techniques are concealed everywhere!"

Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand was a little stunned. Even though he looked embarra.s.sed and angry, he couldn’t do anything.

In fact, he was quite confused and not sure what to do.

"The King of Chambord broke several iron laws of cultivation on Azeroth Continent repeatedly. Could it be that he is really a genius among geniuses? Or is he the reincarnation of a G.o.d? Both Bishop Platini and I have underestimated him. With such a talented bishop, Black-Cloth Shrine has high hope of restoring its former glory!" he thought to himself.

However, there was no way that he knew Fei’s power came from Diablo World, and he also didn’t realize that Fei didn’t tell the truth.

Fei’s Sun Anomaly was the [Den of Evil], one of the locations on the [Blood Moor] at the first map in Diablo World, [The Rogue Encampment].

After Fei received the first quest in h.e.l.l Mode and killed all the monsters in the [Den of Evil], that cold and mysterious voice, which hadn’t appeared in a long time, sounded by Fei’s ears and rewarded this cave to Fei as a virtue s.p.a.ce.

In a sense, Fei could summon the [Den of Evil] when he was in a battle in the real world, and it will be his battlefield. It was very similar to the Sun Anomalies of other Sun-Cla.s.s Lords, and Fei could control everything in here.

In the [Den of Evil], Fei could replenish all his power at will, and his opponents’ depleted energy wouldn’t be able to recover at this place. In fact, Fei could even use a [Town Portal Scroll] to go back to [The Rogue Encampment] and stock up on potions and change items.

What was more surprising was that his opponents were like bosses in Diablo World. If they were killed in here, the items they had on them could be dropped.

Didn’t matter who it was, unless they reached peak Burning Sun Realm, they would be locked in the [Den of Evil] forever. They could only battle with the monsters that would be reborn, and they couldn’t leave here with portals if Fei didn’t allow them.

The [Den of Evil] was similar to Sun Anomalies but more powerful.

Since Fei’s power came from Diablo World, he was on a different path of cultivation compared with the masters in the real world. Although he couldn’t use laws of nature to construct his own Sun Anomalies, he could summon the [Den of Evil] and break the iron laws. For example, he summoned the [Den of Evil] in Senxi’s Sun Anomaly, [G.o.d’s Forbidden Land], and turned the situation around quickly.

Anyone else who was on par with Senxi in terms of power would die for sure inside the [G.o.d’s Forbidden Land].

There were reasons why Fei didn’t use his trump cards right after he was sucked into the [G.o.ds’ Forbidden Land]. He only tried to dodge and even let the red lightning bolts that contained holy power hit him for a few times, and that was because he wanted to use Senxi’s power to completely melt and dissolve the last bit of golden energy in his body that came from the Ancients in Nightmare Mode. In addition, the poison that midget-sized a.s.sa.s.sin left in his body was quite deadly, and Fei didn’t have any of the [Antidote Potion] from Diablo World. Therefore, he also borrowed the power of the lightning to break down and dissolve the poison.

The battle was over.

However, Fei knew that he couldn’t kill this man in front of him yet.

With Fei’s current power and status, it was ok for him to kill a few Moon-Cla.s.s Elites of the Holy Church. However, killing the bishop of one of the five prominent shrines in the Northern Regional Church was going to be a huge offense. Fei hadn’t been canonized by Bishop Platini yet and wasn’t the official bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine. If he killed Senxi right now, Chambord would be in a lot of trouble.

Fei waved his hand and pulled that [Black Reef Staff], which was on the ground further away, into his hand.

Without the support of a vast amount of holy power, this semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon returned to its original form. It was curly and full of b.u.mps, looking like a rough wooden stick used to stir campfires.

When it landed in Fei’s hand, this staff seemed to have its own mind and tried to struggle non-stop.

With a cold sneer, Fei rubbed it with his finger. A powerful force wiped by and took out that rebellious intelligence in the staff.

With a sad whine, the [Black Reef Staff] calmed down.

"This semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon will be kept at the Black-Cloth Shrine for now. The Red-Sand Shrine no longer has the qualification to have such an item. When your Red-Sand Shrine gets a new brave and intelligent bishop, who abides by the [Code of G.o.d] and no longer behaves like the lapdog of the Shiye Shrine, he can come to Five Sword Sky Mountain to get back this semi-G.o.d-tier combat weapon!"

After saying that, Fei put the [Black Reef Staff] into his own storage s.p.a.ce.

Bishop Senxi instantly opened his mouth and spat out another mouthful of blood as his expression changed. Fei damaged his spirit energy again by wiping out the portion of his spirit energy that was in the staff, but he didn’t cuss or fight back. He knew that it was useless for now, and he could only try to come up with another plan after recovery.

"Can I get other locations in Diablo World as my Sun Anomalies? After all, the [Den of Evil] is a bit small. Places like the [Arcane Sanctuary], [River of Flames], [Arreat Summit], [Worldstone Keep], and [Throne of Destruction] are much grander and more mysterious. It would be great if I get those places in the future!" Fei drooled as he thought about that.

Then, he waved his hand and stopped the summoning, and the endless black cave around him quickly disappeared bit by bit as if it were an illusion.

As the nightly breeze blew by, Fei and Senxi re-appeared in the sky above Chambord City.

Severely injured, Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand couldn’t stay in the air anymore. He fell from the sky and screamed.

If he landed on the ground in his current condition, he probably would be smashed into pieces.

Right now, the battles on the square already ended.

The winners were all looking up at the sky and waiting anxiously.

At this moment, a gust of wind appeared, and a figure dashed by and caught Bishop Senxi of Red-Sand.
