Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Three Battle Souls, a Heart of Treason?_1
Double War Spirits!
Qin Feiyang’s eyes glowed with excitent. This was truly an unexpected delight.
CLANG!
However, before everyone could calm their tumultuous feelings, another trendous noise abruptly exploded. It was as if a divine sword was drawn from its sheath.
Spectacular, world-shattering energies radiated from Qin Feiyang, spreading in all directions and covering the sky. Behind him, a crimson battle sword took flight. The battle sword was more than a dozen ters long, entirely red, as if forged from magma.
A third Battle Soul? Qin Feiyang was taken aback.
King rmaid and the others were also completely stupefied.
The holy land fell into a deathly silence.
Could this man really possess three Battle Souls?
Were they dreaming?
Yes, they must be dreaming.
Because in the history of the Great Qin Empire, no one had ever possessed three Battle Souls.
But when they rubbed their eyes vigorously and looked towards Qin Feiyang again, monuntal shockwaves coursed through them!
The Purple-Gold Dragon Soul, like a true dragon manifested, danced above Qin Feiyang’s head, its dragon’s power shaking the world. The Nine-Leaf Fla Lotus hovered to his right, flas surging to the heavens, making him appear like a Fire God. The Crimson Sword Soul lay horizontally to Qin Feiyang’s left, its Sword Qi like a rainbow spanning the sky!
It wasn’t a dream; he truly had three Battle Souls!
Inconceivable! How did he do it? Was he even human?
With these three great Battle Souls, who can stop
from reaching the Imperial Capital and slaughtering my enemies! As Qin Feiyang surveyed the Purple-Gold Dragon Soul, the Nine-Leaf Fla Lotus, and the Crimson Sword Soul, his heart surged with ambition!
With a thought, the three great Battle Souls transford into a stream of light and entered his body, rging with it.
At the sa ti, the True Qi in his Qi Sea rapidly transford into Battle Intent. There were three kinds in total:
First, Purple-Gold Dragon Energy.
Second, Fla Battle Intent.
Third, Crimson Sword Qi.
The attributes and color of Battle Intent were closely related to the Battle Soul. For instance, Yan Nanshan’s Battle Soul was a Fire Eagle, so his Battle Intent was fla-red. Zuo An’s Battle Soul was a giant black python, hence his Battle Intent was black.
In short, the type of Battle Soul awakened determined the type of Battle Intent that would erge. Moreover, each Battle Soul possessed a distinct Innate Divine Ability, differing only in strength. The Wolf King’s Battle Soul, for example, had an Innate Divine Ability that could strip other creatures of their Battle Souls. The stronger the Divine Skills, the higher the level of the Battle Soul.
The purple-gold light on the statue of Emperor Qin gradually faded, signifying the end of the inheritance.
Qin Feiyang slowly landed on the ground. Suppressing his excitent, he turned to face the statue.
"Ancestor, thank you for granting
the Purple-Gold Dragon Soul," he said, bowing three tis to the statue once more.
The purple-gold light on the statue completely dissipated, and the rushing seawater from all sides surged towards him. Qin Feiyang quickly activated the Water-Repelling Pearl and Cold Resistance Pearl, then stood tall, his eyes shining brightly.
He had been waiting for this day for a long ti. By advancing to the War King realm, he could not only turn to the second page of the Elixir Scripture and refine higher-level pills, but most importantly, he could continue practicing the Six-Character Mantra. If the power of the Counter Curse Manual was already so astonishing, the second Divine Art would surely be even stronger.
At this mont, supported by Princess rmaid, King rmaid approached Qin Feiyang and said with a smile, "May I ask your na, young man?"
"Senior, you’re too kind. My na is Qin Feiyang," Qin Feiyang replied with a smile.
Surna Qin... And he received the approval of the First Emperor, awakening the Purple-Gold Dragon Soul... Could he be a descendant of the First Emperor... King rmaid mused, quite shocked. He then smiled and said, "Brother Qin, would you do
the honor of joining
at the palace for a chat?"
"I was about to suggest the sa," Qin Feiyang said. He, too, had many questions.
King rmaid broke into a broad smile. Suddenly, he frowned and turned to the White Wing King and Black Wing King, his face stern. "This Brother Qin is the First Emperor’s successor; no one is allowed to harm him!" He then added, "Furthermore, while Brother Qin and I are speaking, no one is to disturb us."
HUMPH!
The two snorted coldly, flapped their wings, and, with nacing glares, broke through the waves and departed.
Qin Feiyang glanced at them, then looked at the three statues behind the statue of the First Emperor. These three statues all had fishtails and wings. However, the statue in the middle had golden fishtails and wings, while the statues on the left and right had white and black ones, respectively. And each had five pairs of wings!
Strange, Qin Feiyang thought, his eyes showing his puzzlent.
King rmaid explained, "They are all ancestors of the rmaid tribe. The statue in the middle is the first King rmaid. The one on the left is the first Black Wing King, and the one on the right is the first White Wing King."
Qin Feiyang nodded in understanding but then asked doubtfully, "The first King rmaid had golden wings. Why don’t you and the princess have them?"
King rmaid sighed, "It’s a sha to admit. Although I am the king of the rmaid tribe, I did not receive our ancestor’s inheritance. Only those approved by the ancestor will grow golden wings. As for my daughter, she is currently an Eight-star Martial Ancestor and has not yet undergone the inheritance. I hope she succeeds!"
"Father, I will definitely succeed," Princess rmaid said, gazing at the statue of the first King rmaid, her beautiful eyes shining with determination.
At that mont, a streak of dark light shot from the eyes of the first Black Wing King’s statue, striking one of the dozen or so rmaids praying below.
AAAH!
A magical scene imdiately unfolded. The afflicted rmaid cried out in pain as their clothing and flesh split open, and black wings sprouted from their back. Simultaneously, a black phantom appeared behind them. It was their Battle Soul, and it was a humanoid Battle Soul, identical to those of the Black Wing Guards.
So that’s how it is. These humanoid Battle Souls originate from these three statues, Qin Feiyang finally understood.
King rmaid laughed. "This is the inheritance of our rmaid clan. Each rmaid’s Battle Soul is a phantom of one of the three great ancestors."
Qin Feiyang asked, "If you didn’t receive the inheritance, does that an you don’t have a Battle Soul?"
"Yes," King rmaid sighed deeply. "That is why the Black Wing King and White Wing King have always been dissatisfied with ."
"So," Qin Feiyang asked, "if the princess successfully receives the inheritance, grows golden wings, and awakens her Battle Soul, would the Black Wing King and White Wing King abandon their dissent and fully support her?"
"Theoretically, yes," King rmaid replied. "A rmaid with a golden fishtail possesses the purest Bloodline Power, and such an individual appears only once every few centuries. According to our clan’s rules, the birth of a rmaid with a golden fishtail ans they are destined to be the next King rmaid. But it’s hard to know what’s truly in soone’s heart. Who knows what the Black Wing King and White Wing King are really thinking?"
King rmaid shook his head, glancing at the dozens of White Wing Guards. "There are too many prying eyes here," he said. "Let’s talk sowhere else. Please follow ."
Qin Feiyang nodded. This father and daughter seem to be in a precarious situation in this underwater city!
Without pausing, King rmaid led them directly back to his bedchambers.
After closing the palace doors, King rmaid instructed Princess rmaid to prepare a seat for Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand. "There’s no need. Let’s get straight to business."
"Business?" King rmaid looked surprised.
Princess rmaid said, "Father, you may not know, but Qin Feiyang is also a Top Grade Alchemist. Daughter has been pleading with him to help refine a Lifespan Extension Pill."
"A Top Grade Alchemist!" King rmaid gasped, cupping his fist. "May I ask, young man, how old are you?"
Qin Feiyang laughed. "Almost seventeen, I suppose!"
Almost seventeen? So, he’s only sixteen now? A War King at sixteen? And he awakened three Battle Souls? On top of that, he’s a Top Grade Alchemist? This is too astonishing!
Princess rmaid was also stunned, her lips slightly parted as she looked at Qin Feiyang in disbelief. She had initially thought the man before her was at least in his twenties or thirties, rely possessing a youthful face that didn’t show his age. She never imagined he was truly only a sixteen-year-old youth. Still less did she expect that a human youth she had casually brought back would turn out to be such an exceptional prodigy, the likes of which might not be seen in ten thousand years.
Seeing the exaggerated expressions on their faces, Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but offer a wry smile. It seems I’ll have to be more low-key in the future.
AHEM! AHEM! He coughed, steering clear of the Lifespan Extension Pill topic. "How did the statue of the First Emperor end up here?" he asked, puzzled.
King rmaid, regaining his composure after a mont of reflection, said, "Before I answer that, I’d like to ask: are you a descendant of the First Emperor?"
"No," Qin Feiyang shook his head.
"Impossible!" King rmaid stated firmly.
Hmm? Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. Such certainty! Do they have proof?
King rmaid continued, "Back in the holy land, I ntioned that only a specific kind of person can earn the First Emperor’s recognition and receive his inheritance."
Princess rmaid and Qin Feiyang nodded.
"This person must possess a heart full of compassion for all living beings and tolerance for the world, and they must also possess the Bloodline Power of the First Emperor," King rmaid said.
Is that so? Qin Feiyang frowned. By this logic, can my identity not be concealed?
"Actually, Brother Qin, there’s no need to be so guarded," King rmaid said, a grateful expression evident on his face and a hint of a smile. "Our rmaid clan’s ancestor shared a very deep friendship with the First Emperor. Otherwise, the First Emperor would not have left his statue here.
"Furthermore, the fact that our rmaid clan has survived to this day and possesses this small territory within the Great Qin Empire is all due to the First Emperor’s benevolence."
Qin Feiyang asked coolly, "If the First Emperor was so benevolent to your clan, why do you harbor thoughts of rebellion?"
"Thoughts of rebellion?" Both father and daughter looked startled.
"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?" King rmaid urged anxiously, a hint of unconcealable panic in his eyes. "When have we ever harbored rebellious thoughts? You can’t make such accusations lightly!"
Hmm? Qin Feiyang frowned.
"I recall," Qin Feiyang said, "the two Black Wing Guards who escorted
to the prison said sothing. They said that for the Great Qin Empire to be ruled by people like us humans is a great humiliation. If they dare to say such things so openly, can you still claim you have no rebellious intentions?" he retorted sharply.
"This is a terrible injustice!" King rmaid lanted.
Princess rmaid also looked anxious. If this misunderstanding isn’t cleared up, Qin Feiyang might refuse to refine the Lifespan Extension Pill for Father. Worse, it could bring disaster upon the entire rmaid clan!
