Chapter 191 – Crown of Blasphemy

Translator: Xaiomoge

The Life Clone Bead was the treasure Yang Feng had gotten a hold of after crossing the planar passageway in Gloom Cave’s headquarters.

Yang Feng had not known what kind of treasure the Life Clone Bead was. Nevertheless, he was still careful while wearing it around his neck. Now that he knew that it was a treasure for which even Glorious Dawn Warlocks would go crazy for, he felt secretly elated.

A trace of a scorching radiance flashed across Yang Feng’s eyes, saying solemnly: “Brother Kong, can you teach me the method for separating one’s bloodline and divinity from one’s true body and then condense it into a clone?”

Kong Fangao hesitated.

“I am well aware of the custom! According to the custom, a corresponding price has to be paid when trading secret methods and knowledge among Warlocks. This is a level-4 extraordinary life form rank mechanical golem, is it enough to be exchanged for the method?”

Yang Feng pressed the dimensional crest on his chest. Suddenly, a Fire Lion mechanical battle beast appeared, releasing formidable, Great Warlock rank fluctuations of power.

Kong Fangao said apologetically: “This secret method is not anything special, and can be imparted by some of Great Cloud Dynasty’s mid-ranked sects. However, when practicing cultivation in the sect, I had once vowed that I would never impart the knowledge taught by the sect without permission. Therefore, I am very sorry, but I cannot impart you with this secret method.”

There was a look of disappointment on Yang Feng’s face. He lowered his head, and fell into a state of deep contemplation.

Kong Fangao comforted: “However, Brother Yang, if you come to the continent, I can give you a letter of recommendation to enter Heavenly Garments Sect to practice cultivation. Although Heavenly Garments Sect is not part of Great Cloud Dynasty’s 10 Great Sects, yet it is still a first-rate sect only second to the Ten Great Sects. In the sect, secret methods are aplenty, with the method to separate the bloodline and divinity into a clone not being anything special.”

Yang Feng suddenly asked: “Right, Brother Kong, you have just mentioned 7 Great Warlock Lords having overwhelming power. But didn’t we have 8 Great Warlock Dynasties?”.

Kong Fangao sneered, saying: “Heh heh! Dawn Dynasty’s Dawn Lord was far too inferior, how can he even be mentioned on equal terms with the 7 Great Warlock Lords?”

After sneering, Kong Fangao added: “Brother Yang, although the Dawn Lord was nothing special, but in the end, he was still one of humanity’s strongest experts; I do not want to speak ill of him.”

Yang Feng mused, before saying: “Brother Kong, I want to go to the continent together with you. What do you think?”

Originally, Yang Feng had intended to stay in Turandot Subcontinent, and to dominate the entire subcontinent. He wanted to painstakingly practice cultivation. He would go to the continent after practicing cultivation until the Great Warlock boundary.

However, now that he had realized that things were not too reassuring, Yang Feng was forced to leave to go to the continent to look for ways to resolve the hidden dangers inside him.

Kong Fangao smiled brightly and said: “Alright! Three months later, a fleet of the Phoenix Cry Merchant Group will come to Turandot Subcontinent to do business. At that time, we can go together to the continent.”

Ten days later, the City of Dark Elves, inside of the Goddess Lolth’s shrine.

Many dark elves were prostrated on the ground, praying.

Yang Feng stood in a corner of the Goddess Lolth’s temple, quietly watching the scene. Via his glasses, he could see traces of faith power coming out of those dark elves, and then enter idol of the Goddess Lolth, resulting in the idol releasing a faint layer of divine light.

Two people stood behind Yang Feng, namely Joana and Romulaj.

After finishing their prayers, the dark elves respectfully left the temple.

Romulaj was a bit dissatisfied, saying: “Have you come to see the prayer? Is there any point to it?”

Romulaj was a legendary assassin, she was extremely powerful, and had no faith in the Goddess Lolth. Joana was a legendary archer, and equally had no faith in the Goddess Lolth.

Among dark elves, apart from the Priestesses raised in the temple, the more powerful they were, the more they disdained the Goddess Lolth. No one would like a god who constantly sowed discord among their kind for their own amusement.

In order to gain strength, the bottom rung of dark elves rather piously believed in the Goddess Lolth. To such a darkness god, as long as one offered enough flesh, blood, and souls as sacrifices, the believer would be generously rewarded in terms of power.

Gods had great use for faith power and souls. Among many gods, all kinds of transactions were conducted using powerful souls as currency.

“Let me show you the power of Steel City’s latest black technology product – the Crown of Blasphemy.”

Yang Feng smiled, put on a black crown, and approached the idol of the Goddess Lolth.

“Mighty Lady Lolth!”

“You are the Ruler of Dark Elves, the Adjudicator of Night, the Queen of Darkness, the Patron of Spiders, the Commander of Fear!”

“I am your most devoted believer, a Priest herding your people! Please grant me my request and bestow divine power onto me! Show your divine might, protect your sheep, adjudicate your enemies!”

Pure spirit fluctuations were emitted from Yang Feng’s body as he recited the Priest’s prayer. He seemed to have transformed into the most pious Priest, even more pious than the dark elven Great Matriarch Shayenna.

In fact, the dark elven Great Matriarch Shayenna was not very devout towards the Goddess Lolth. It was just that matriarchs or great matriarchs had to be Priestesses or Great Priestesses, and had to let the Goddess Lolth’s divine power spread throughout their bodies. If they were to betray the goddess, then the divine power inside them would burn them to ciders.

Streams of incomparably pure divine power shot out of the idol of the Goddess Lolth, and shone onto Yang Feng’s body, displaying divine grace.

Romulaj was dumbstruck, not willing to believe her eyes: “What is this? He is clearly a non believer, who is not even a pseudo believer; how come he had transformed into a fanatic? Besides, he had still received divine grace, how is this possible?”

Whenever he dealt with Romulaj and the other dark elven experts, Yang Feng had never bothered to cover up his disgust for the Ruler of Dark Elves, the Goddess Lolth. Such a person was definitely a non believer. Now, a non believer had actually turned into a fanatic, and had even received divine grace, what a monster.

Joana was also shocked silly: “What’s going on? How could he have become a fanatic? Besides, he had still received divine grace, and had directly soared to a Priest; how can this be?”

Shayenna was speechless. Because she was not pious enough in her believe, even she had not received divine grace. It was only because of her tyrannical strength, because her body was capable of supporting being immersed in Lolth’s immense divine power, that she had become the Goddess Lolth’s Great Priestess.

“Many thanks, oh mighty goddess!”

Yang Feng laughed heartily, then walked over, and said somewhat proudly: “It is a pity, but it is only at the standard of a level-2 Priest. But it is still not bad. After all, the healing effect of divine power is still much greater than that of many level-2 spells.”

Romulaj quickly asked: “How have you done it? Yang Feng, you obviously are not a believer of hers, how come you have received divine grace?”

Assassin was a high-risk class, where one walked on the edge of a blade and could incur serious injuries from being the slightest bit inattentive. Were Romulaj to gain access to divine spells and were she to become a Priestess, then her fighting strength would increase geometrically. There was still the divine spell Legendary Stealth among the Goddess Lolth’s divine spells, which was a godly skill for assassins.

Although the Shadow Goddess Miry was extremely weak among the Great Warlock rank experts, but with the help of all kinds of outrageous shadow divine spells, she had already assassinated several Great Warlock rank strong persons much stronger than herself.

Yang Feng gave a faint smile, saying: “Although gods are powerful, but they still cannot always pay attention to every plane; the day-to-day matters are basically all mechanically handled by relying on the godhead. The Crown of Blasphemy can simulate a fanatic’s spirit fluctuations. One just has to pray to deceive the godhead, and receive power. As long as one does not make too much of a disturbance, and does not draw her attention, then one can use her divine power at will.”

Joana said unceremoniously: “Good stuff! I want one!”

Romulaj laughed and said with a beaming smile: “I also want one!”

Dark elven peak strong persons like Joana and Romulaj had no faith in the Goddess Lolth. They were very eager to promote their strength. With their strength, they could become High Priestess, and release formidable divine spells by drawing support from the goddess’ power.

Yang Feng handed Shayenna the Crown of Blasphemy: “Shayenna, you also wear one! With it, you can prevent her divine power from corroding your body. In the future, I will think of a way to deal with the hidden danger inside your body.”

Shayenna took the Crown of Blasphemy, revealing an incomparably charming smile towards Yang Feng: “Thank you, Sire!”

When releasing divine spells, gods’ Priests would sufferer from divine power corrosion, allowing the divine spell to spread through their body and soul.

Once the Priests died, their souls would be directly drawn into their god’s divine country via the divine power, followed by them being reborn inside the divine country. The precondition was that the god had their own divine country.

Not every god had their own divine country. To establish a divine country required massive amounts of resources and tremendous faith power. Some new gods had no divine countries, which was also when they were at their weakest; they could be easily spotted and then killed by powerful enemies.

Gods with divine kingdoms were very powerful inside their divine kingdom. A weak divine power rank god entering a feeble divine power rank god’s divine country to fight was akin to seeking death. Even an intermediate divine power rank god would not have any certainty regarding the outcome where they to enter a feeble divine power rank god’s divine country.

As the dark elven primary god, the Goddess Lolth also had her own divine country, which in turn was the reason why many dark elves had faith in her.

However, many of Turandot Subcontinent’s Legend rank strong persons were unwilling to have faith in gods. The reason being that when they died, they would enter the god’s divine country,and would have to continue fighting for said god. It was analogous to being a slave. In Cangzhi Plane, strong persons who had accepted the human Warlocks’ ideology were naturally unwilling to become gods’ slaves after their deaths.
