Hail the King

Chapter 951 - Sealed Space

Chapter 951: Sealed Space (Part One)

Through the information that Dark Demonic Armor Basturk revealed, Chambord learned that it was using the fake Holy Code of Hell to trade for the 19 Sun-Class Lords and the three peak Moon-Class Elites from the Holy Church. The purpose of this was that it wanted to use the soul energy and core energy of these masters to power a secret array of Hell, trying to release the 72 demons who were sealed in the space under the Royal Palace of Anji.

It didn’t try to use zombie emperors since the zombies were undead creatures without souls or intelligence, so they didn’t fit the requirement for the secret array.

While Fei and Basturk discussed this, the king murmured and reminded himself that it was about time to check out the sealed space mentioned in the journal.

The situation inside the Royal Palace of Anji finally came to an end.

On the 100th day, [Black Pearl] returned from Chambord City.

On the way back, Captain Sparrow even took his crew members to plunder the Sea of Fragrance, obtaining quite a few resources from the Leon Empire. He finally got to experience the life of a hyperspace pirate, and it was a little addicting.

During the afternoon of that day, Cain, Akara, and their dozens of talented apprentices moved all the experimental equipment and the fruits of their labor onto the barge, starting the long journey home.

The temporary laboratory had limited capabilities. The next step in this research project was to create mystical gold war machines, and it had to be done back at the laboratory in Chambord City. Besides, the runes and magic arrays had to be created by the busty Blacksmith Charsi and her apprentices, so returning to Chambord was the only option right now.

As the most valuable resource and material in this research project, Dark Demonic Armor Basturk was taken as well.

Fei planted seeds of light power and spirit energy into this demon. If it wanted to rebel, Fei would instantly notice it, and he could make this spineless demon beg for death to end its suffering. After all, Basturk had experienced the excruciating pain several times, and this biggest traitor of Hell in the last thousands of years already submitted to Fei. It expressed its 100 percent loyalty and was willing to listen to all of Fei’s commands; it didn’t dare to bear any evil thoughts.

However, Fei didn’t plan on ditching the Capital of Anji.

This majestic and ancient city was managed and strengthened by the Anji Empire for many years. The Undead Creature Catastrophe had killed all the residents of the city, but this resulted in minimal damage to the infrastructure such as magic defensive arrays, buildings, defense work, shops, worship palaces, houses, markets, and sewage system. It would take hundreds of years to build another city like this. Therefore, why shouldn’t Chambord take over this deserted city?

Fei already decided to turn the Capital of Anji into a hidden military base of Chambord.

In the last half a month, Fei spent a lot of time and energy on engraving many light magic arrays on the defense walls of the city; it was so dense that people would feel dizzy just looking at the engravings.

Fei’s Paladin character purified every single inch of land in the city, and the death energy of Hell was nowhere to be found. Right now, the Capital of Anji was suitable for humans to live in, and people in the city didn’t need to worry about the city being attacked by zombies and monsters; this was like a paradise during the end of the world.

Now, Fei planned to start to move people to this place.

However, many zombies, advanced zombies, and mutated demon beasts were still wandering on the plain in the region that was hundreds of kilometers around the city.

Chapter 951: Sealed Space (Part Two)

After this long period, high-level monsters started to emerge and appear, and their overall strength significantly increased. In fact, several zombie emperors had appeared from leveling up, and they dominated over small regions in the area.

Now, these monsters created an unbreakable natural barrier.

Since Fei already set up sizeable light magic arrays around the borders of the Anji Empire, these zombies and monsters were sandwiched between the giant magic arrays on the borders and the smaller magic arrays around the Capital of Anji. In a sense, they were being captured by Fei, and they could only live on this land. They could become more vicious and evolve, but they couldn’t move to another place to spread death and the power of Hell.

Therefore, unless real masters came, this large number of monsters blocked off other people such as spies and troops. Now, entering the territory of the former Anji Empire was close to impossible; it was impossible for ordinary people or warrior and mages with weak strength.

Now, Chambord could run some forbidden experiments in this place in peace.

Besides, with the strengthened super-long-distance magic teleportation arrays, it wasn’t a problem to transport people and resources to this place.

After seeing off [Black Pearl], Fei and Undead Mage Hazel Bank stayed behind.

According to the information in the journal, Fei released his spirit energy and used some techniques, finally discovering the mysterious sealed space; it was indeed about 2,000 meters underground.

From the information that Fei learned from the feedback of the spirit energy, that space should be a small world that existed on its own in the void, completely separated off from the outside world. To be honest, if it weren’t for the directions and hints given in the journal of the New Emperor of Anji, as well as Fei’s radar-like spirit energy scanning, other people wouldn’t even be able to find this place. Looking through another lens, the entrance to this space was only a light sphere about the size of a fist, and it was inside layers of rocks.

“This silver light sphere should be the entrance to that mysterious sealed space.”

Since both Fei and Hazel Bank reached high-level of strength, it was easy to move through soil and get deep into the ground. Soon, they broke through the land and entered the mysterious space through the light sphere entrance.

...

“This is... a real vacuum?”

“Are we teleported into the cosmos?”

As soon as these two entered the strange, new space, they were startled; they were completely shocked by what they saw.

This was a vast, black space, and it looked like the real cosmos. Faint and weak star lights could be seen from afar, and they were fascinating and brilliant. An ancient, profound, and mysterious sensation permeated the air, making people feel like it was the beginning of the universe as vicissitude permeated the air. The turbid yet majestic pressure was so grand that Fei and Hazel Bank both had a hard time breathing properly.

In the middle of this brilliant, star-filled space, 72 giant ‘stone eggs’ floated in the air.

These ‘stone eggs’ were of various sizes, but even the smallest had a diameter of more than ten kilometers, looking like a small meteorite. Right now, they were moving in mysterious patterns while being positioned in various places in the ‘cosmos’, and they slowly rotated and revolved.

If one paid closer attention, they could see that each ‘stone egg’ had a rough surface, and dust layered on top of them for many years. Through the dust, streaks of red, lava-like flames could be seen all around them like the spider-web, and they would flash every ten seconds as if they were beating hearts, emitting streaks of terrifying death energy through the cracks. The roars and screams could be vaguely heard from the ‘stone eggs’, and it seemed like they were imprisoning terrifying beasts that were trying to escape.
