Chapter 155: Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist

“Lord of Source Essence!”

“King of Myriad Forms!”

“Taiwei Jade Emperor!”

“……”

In his mind, reciting the incantation, within the Divine Domain fragment deep in his Sea of Consciousness, an echo resounded.

He was talking to himself.

This feeling was extremely strange.

A believer and a deity belonging to the same person, perhaps in the countless years of history of two worlds, only Karl was this unique.

With a thought, Karl and the two corpses on the ground disappeared simultaneously, appearing within the Divine Domain fragment.

The sacrificed items all belonged to the deity.

Not just flesh and blood,

Including their souls.

In fact, if the Abyssal Giant Squid grew to the third order, it could also search the memories of others’ souls.

Not only that.

It could also manifest in the dreams and consciousness of others, coming and going freely.

But it was too early to say these things now, and besides, the Abyssal Giant Squid’s search for memories was definitely not as convenient and complete as the Divine Domain fragment.

“Memories…”

Under the absolute rationality, Karl’s fluctuating thoughts quietly subsided, and his face returned to calm.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the past memories of the Seventh Elder transformed into fragments, suspended in the space.

Eighty years of life experiences were as vast as the sea, enough to turn an ordinary person into an idiot.

Under the power of the Divine Domain fragment, the Seventh Elder’s memories of cultivation were quickly selected.

After a moment.

Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist!

A complex and profound fist technique appeared before his eyes, along with many scenes of the Seventh Elder’s cultivation.

“It turns out that the Seventh Elder was not able to truly master this fist technique. Not only because he did not cultivate the Heavenly Wolf Breathing Technique, but also because to fully master this holy technique, he also needed the bloodline of the wolf god Fenrir.”

“Fenrir?”

“An evil god from another realm, subdued by the goddess, and became the guardian of the Divine Domain’s gate.”

Karl’s eyes flickered:

“Two pieces of news, one good and one bad.”

“The good news is that the holy technique that goes with the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique does not require other conditions. As long as one cultivates the Giant Spirit Breathing Technique, it can be perfectly mastered.”

“The bad news is…”

“That holy technique called Mighty Giant God Fist, the Holy Sanctuary does not have it!”

The sense of loss was fleeting, and many pieces of knowledge that ordinary people could not access in the Seventh Elder’s memories emerged one by one.

Besides the inheritance of holy techniques, Karl was also very interested in the path of knights in this world.

The path of the knight,

Legendary is definitely not the end point!

It’s just that because of the gods, whether in the main world or other worlds, the path beyond Legendary was monopolized.

In times of peace, the gods, in order to maintain their status, tacitly blocked the advancement of Legendary.

The path of faith would be greatly promoted.

Devout priests and divine messengers could receive divine favor, their souls entering the Divine Domain, and even advancing to become angels.

Only a very few talented and well-trained knights had the opportunity to enter the Divine Domain and become guardians by the side of the gods.

And once they encountered turmoil, such as an invasion of evil gods or a war between the gods, they would lift the restrictions on the path of the knights, and even bestow various resources to help the knights who believed in them advance.

The Seventh Elder’s memories contained information about what came after Legendary.

First-Order Legendary Knight.

Second-Order Holy Knight!

Third-Order…

Demigod!

A powerful Third-Order Demigod, wielding a divine artifact, could slay a god.

In the books left by the Moon Goddess to the Holy Sanctuary, there was a record of more than a dozen Third-Order knights besieging and killing a deity.

“Only one holy technique?”

Karl’s expression was pensive, and then he looked at the other corpse.

Deacon Lev!

Not long after.

The records of the holy technique in Lev’s memory also appeared before his ‘eyes’, it was a holy technique called Red Thunder.

Although Lev himself cultivated a simplified version of the holy technique, he had seen the complete inheritance of the holy technique.

“Ancient Dragon!”

“Red Thunder is a talent ability mastered by the ancient dragon race, which is similar to the Dragon King Trading Company’s Super Rune.”

Karl stroked his chin, and then searched the Seventh Elder’s memories for records about ancient times.

A long, long time ago.

Before the gods appeared, this world was ruled by various dragon races and powerful giants.

Later,

The gods appeared.

The dragon race and giants who were unwilling to change their faith were slaughtered, and a small number who submitted to the gods became slaves.

“Tens of thousands of years of history…”

“Magnificent!”

“But it seems that holy techniques also have high and low, strong and weak distinctions. Red Thunder is far less powerful than the Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist, even if it is an incomplete Heavenly Wolf Phantom Demon Fist.”

“Hmm…”

“Red Thunder is also easier to cultivate.”

Withdrawing his thoughts, Karl took out a piece of letter paper:

“I wonder if I’ve missed the time?”

***

The Purification Pool.

It was opened once a month to cleanse the bodies of those who had paid the redemption fee, lifting the curse of Death City.

Walking out of here meant gaining freedom.

It was just that the redemption fee was not something ordinary people could afford, even the wealthy would feel the pinch.

Jody followed beside her brother, looking nervously at the sky, silently calculating something in her heart.

“Brother.”

A timid, childish voice sounded from behind:

“Are we really going to leave this city?”

Leaving the familiar place where they had lived since childhood, going to an unfamiliar city, would always make people feel confused.

“Yes.” The boy nodded, his small face full of seriousness:

“I promised mother that I would take care of you when you grow up. There are those bad people in this city, we must leave.”

“Don’t worry, brother will protect you.”

“Yes.”

The little girl nodded lightly.

Jody looked back, her eyes full of curiosity.

The boy was not very old, probably about her age, and his clothes were also tattered.

The little girl was about seven or eight years old, her face was covered with dirt, and only her big eyes were bright and piercing.

How did this kind of person…

…manage to pay the redemption fee?

“Big sister, hello.”

The little girl asked Jody:

“Are you also leaving this city?”

“Yes!”

Jody smiled:

“Like you, we are also leaving to avoid the bad people in the city, so we have to leave.”

“Is that so?” The little girl looked confused:

“How did you raise the money? My brother got a sum of money by accident, and sold the house to get enough.”

“Julia!” Matthew pulled his sister, his face serious:

“Forget what I specifically told you when we came, do not talk to strangers casually.”

Julia immediately shut up.

Jody smiled and also withdrew her gaze.

“Next batch!”

“Come over here!”

The city guards watching over the purification pool urged loudly, and the group came to a large pool in order.

The blood-red pool water emitted a strong bloody smell, which also made everyone’s expressions a little unsightly.

“Get in!”

The city guard shouted:

“Submerge your whole body under the water, hold on for at least five breaths, if you can’t hold on, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you die outside the city.”

“Hoo…”

Someone took a deep breath and walked into the ‘purification pool’, moving forward in the waist-deep water.

Then they took another deep breath and lay down in the pool.

…………

Walking out of the purification pool, Jody was about to head in the direction of her home, when suddenly her brother grabbed her wrist.

“Come this way!”

“Huh?”

Jody was stunned.

She saw her brother and sister each pull her and her younger brother, heading towards a small caravan not far away.

A feeling of panic instantly rose in her heart.

“Brother.”

She said anxiously:

“What’s going on?”

“We are leaving this city.” Her brother, Norton, lowered his eyebrows, his face gloomy, and pulled her along quickly:

“Don’t ask too much, just follow me.”

“But…” Jody cried out:

“I still have a lot of things I haven’t brought, and I haven’t said goodbye to my friends, and my father and the others haven’t come.”

“Jody, you should grow up.” Norton shook his head:

“If I give you time to say goodbye, wouldn’t the family’s enemies know that we are going to escape?”

“This matter was arranged by our parents in advance, as for your things…”

“If it’s the package you secretly packed in your room, then it should already be in the caravan.”

“Let’s go!”

He sighed:

“The reason why we kept it from you is because we didn’t want others to know. We need to leave this city as soon as possible.”

***

“But…” Jody’s face turned pale.

“There’s no ‘but’.” Norton growled:

“We should go, and go immediately. Only when we are safe can the family be at ease.”

His eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched, he looked back deeply, and picked up Jody and placed her in the carriage.

The small carriage was crowded with people, and all kinds of strange smells were mixed together, but Jody couldn’t care about these things at this time.

Only a strange panic filled her heart.

Was she leaving?

Everything that was once familiar would no longer exist.

“Big sister.”

A familiar voice sounded:

“We meet again so soon?”

Jody came back to her senses and looked at the little girl held in her brother’s arms, forcing a smile on her face.

“Yes.”

“My name is Alva, and this is my brother Matthew.” The little girl introduced the two of them as if they were old friends:

“What is big sister’s name?”

“…” Jody opened her mouth:

“Jody.”

“Don’t talk too much.” Norton boarded the carriage, his cold gaze swept over the others in the carriage:

“Let’s go!”

The wheels turned, heading out of the city.

Jody curled up, hugging the package her brother handed her tightly, her mind racing.

The time they agreed on was a few days later, but the sudden change of time must mean that something had changed at home.

Father, mother…

Would they be okay?

Her brother was only a few years older than her, and had only been away from home once. Could they safely reach the Duke’s territory?

Did Little Ear send the letter to those adults when he couldn’t find me, as I instructed?

What should they do in the future?

Although her family had always treated Jody like a child, she was actually far more mature than her peers.

Even,

Sometimes, she saw problems more clearly than her brother Norton.

But after all, she was still a child, and she had never experienced this kind of situation, and she couldn’t find a solution. Many thoughts rose and fell in her mind, and gradually sleepiness surged, and she fell asleep in a daze.

“Thump!”

The carriage suddenly shook violently.

The violent shaking made Jody’s body lean back, and the back of her head hit the wood, instantly waking her up with pain.

“Ugh!”

“Be careful!”

Norton reached out to support her, opened the carriage and looked outside, his face suddenly changed.

Against the backdrop of the dim night, a group of knights exuding a cold aura appeared at the end of the road.

The vision of a Peak Knight allowed him to see a familiar symbol.

“It’s them!”

Norton clenched his fists:

“How could they be here? Is it just a coincidence that they are passing by? Or did they receive some news?”

“Hoo…”

A gust of breeze swept through the caravan, and a familiar smell made Norton’s eyes widen, and he turned around and jumped out of the carriage with his sister in his arms.

“Run!”

“It’s a Gale Blast cast by a Grand Knight!”

Super Rune ━ Gale Blast!

The breeze suddenly quickened, and visible white gusts of wind appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards the caravan.

“Puff!”

“Puff puff!”

The sharp wind blades easily cut the horses pulling the carriages in half, and the sturdy carriages were vulnerable in front of the wind blades.

Blood splattered.

Screams and wails sounded.

The figures in the caravan were in chaos, and those who were lucky enough to escape the disaster scattered in all directions when faced with the charging knights.

“Go!”

Norton called to his younger brother and sister, and fled towards the dense forest.

The four of them were panicked, and ran hand in hand. In the dark forest, only their hurried breathing and footsteps could be heard.

“Why would Death Knights appear here? Only a few people knew about our departure.”

“Now is not the time to say these things.”

Norton looked back, his face sinking:

“Someone is chasing us!”

“You go first, I’ll hold them back.”

He raised his right hand, revealing a bronze ring on his hand, and chanted a strange syllable.

“Ooru…”

“Swish!”

A set of armor appeared around him, the armor changing shape on its own, fitting Norton’s body.

“Brother!”

“Go!”

Norton roared, pushed Jody out, drew the long sword from his waist, took a deep breath, and looked back.

Come on!

I will let my blood illuminate the glory of the Hill family!

…………

Two hours later.

Jody was covered in mud, curled up in a tree hole, holding a copper pot tightly in her hands.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

Maggie was only two years older than Jody. In the eyes of adults, she was also just a child.

As the older sister, she kept her younger brother and sister behind her, but her body was uncontrollably trembling.

“Maggie.”

Jody said in a low voice:

“Don’t speak, the hearing of knights is far better than ordinary people, and they can even hear a heartbeat when they are close.”

“Fortunately…”

“It’s going to rain!”

When it rained, the forest would be damp and cold, and the three children, who were weak and frail, would easily contract diseases.

But the sound of rain would help cover their voices, making it harder for them to be discovered.

“Drip drop…”

Unbeknownst to when.

Light rain began to fall.

The cold wind blew through the mountains and forests, causing the light rain to tilt left and right, and also stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground.

“Dada…”

Footsteps sounded.

The three of them held their breath, curled up in the tree hole, and did not move.

“Maggie!”

“Jody!”

A low, hoarse, and weak but familiar voice came from the rain:

“It’s me, Norton.”

“Where are you?”

“Norton?” Maggie’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly pushed aside the grass blocking the tree hole and looked outside:

“We are here!”

“Don’t!”

Jody reached out to pull her sister, but it was too late.

In the dark jungle, a Death Knight wearing a blood-red cloak turned his head upon hearing the sound, his scarlet eyes staring at the three of them.

“Three little mice, I found you!”

The aura of a Peak Knight suppressed them, making it difficult for the three of them to breathe.

“Crack…”

Jody quickly rubbed the copper pot in her hand, and a thick smoke spurted out from the mouth of the pot, instantly enveloping the vicinity.

The smoke not only blocked their vision, but also distorted people’s sense of direction.

“Go!”

She jumped out of the tree hole, bent over, and pulled her terrified sister and younger brother, running away into the distance.

Half an hour later.

The three of them were lying in a thicket full of thorns, watching more and more Death Knights gather around them.

Their eyes were filled with despair.

“Little ones, you can’t escape.”

A Death Knight rode a ghost horse, quickly shuttling through the forest, occasionally waving the long sword in his hand.

Patches of grass were swept away by him.

“Come out!”

“Crack…”

A sound came from not far away.

The Death Knight turned his head upon hearing the sound, and saw a boy and a girl walking over tremblingly.

“Uncle.”

Matthew said:

“That smell is nearby.”

“I have to say, your talent is indeed rare, no wonder your ancestors were able to obtain the token to enter the Dark Market.” Karl, wearing a wizard’s robe, walked out from behind the two of them, rubbed Matthew’s hair, and his gaze passed through the darkness to land on the figures in the thicket:

“Jody, we meet again.”

?

Jody’s eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and then her eyes showed a strong ecstasy.

It was him!

That mysterious alchemist from Rapid Flow City!
