Ch. 2911..2920
Chapter 2911 The Organization That Seeks Revenge
As soon as those words left Levi’s mouth, the visitors were rendered speechless.
They had expected Levi to refuse them.
After all, Idrae was protected by myriads of Deities of Xyperia. Hence, seeking revenge on them was equivalent to looking for death.
Anyone who had a brain would be terrified by the situation.
That was why over ninety percent of all Idrae’s enemies had retreated, not daring to seek revenge anymore.
Moreover, many people, whom the organization invited, had rejected them.
None of them dared to bring up the matter of seeking revenge, let alone talk about their grudge.
As such, they figured it would be a normal thing for Levi to be scared despite the fact that his daughter had been fed with Final Malice.
After all, the members of Idrae were treated like kings at that moment—the whole world was providing them with protection.
Nobody would dare to take revenge unless they had a death wish.
Yet, they never expected Levi to give such a reason.
He alone is enough to eliminate Idrae? What kind of nonsense is he spouting? Who on earth can eliminate Idrae on their own? What a joke. He’s not even a Deity. How is he going to do that all on his own?
Everyone that had been gathered to join the organization so far had had a discussion before that.
If they wanted to eliminate Idrae once and for all, they would need at least a hundred Deities to attack with them. Only then would there be hope.
Even then, they would only have a fifty percent chance of winning.
And now, Levi was claiming that he could destroy Idrae on his own.
After hearing his words, they could not help but scold him inwardly, thinking he was just bluffing and spouting nonsense.
At that moment, the most difficult thing to do in the entire world was to seek Idrae for revenge.
It was a fact everyone acknowledged.
Hence, it was impossible for a single person to succeed when it could not be done even with a hundred Deities.
They found Levi ridiculous.
Sensing the odd atmosphere, Levi swept a gaze over the visitors. “You people should go on with whatever you need to do and stop wasting your time on this matter. Trust me. I’m more than enough to end Idrae. I’m just letting them live for a little longer. I promise to take revenge on everyone’s behalf. Thus, this vengeance alliance of yours can be dissolved. It’s not something you people can do. So, please don’t make any unnecessary sacrifices.”
Levi made it sound like a walk in the park.
However, his words left the visitors’ minds in a turmoil.
Is Levi crazy? He’s not taking Idrae seriously. They’ve sought refuge from Xyperia. Taking revenge on Idrae is basically going against Xyperia and the entire world.
Everyone gaped at him, unable to believe he even told them to dissolve the alliance.
“Hah! I can’t believe you have the guts to say such things.”
“Just admit it. You’re scared, aren’t you? Why bother spouting such nonsense? Do you really think you can bring down Idrae on your own? Do you think you’re a god or something?”
“What a joke! You’re obviously afraid to seek revenge on Idrae. How dare you say such preposterous things!”
The visitors continued throwing all kinds of insults at Levi.
“To be honest, your reason for rejecting us is just too weak. In the end, you’re nothing but a coward!”
“We’ve invited many people to join us, and many have turned us down. In fact, ninety-nine out of a hundred people have rejected us. Even so, they still tell us their true reason, which is fear of death.”
“You’re the only person who dares to give us such a noble answer.”
“You’ve really disappointed us, Levi. How could you not have the courage to get your revenge when they caused your daughter to be in such a state? You’re not worthy to be a father, let alone a man!”
“It’s the existence of people like you who chose to cower in fear that makes Idrae more daring. That’s why they dare to provoke everything without fear. Don’t you feel sorry for your daughter for not having the slightest courage to seek revenge?”
All the five visitors started accusing Levi furiously.
Despite so, he remained silent.
Instead, a cold glint flashed across his eyes, filled with murderous intent.
“Get lost!” he bellowed.
The five figures flew backward as if they were kites with a torn string.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
All five of them crashed to the ground with a sickening crunch.
Chapter 2912 I Will Remember This Grudge
As soon as they fell to the ground, they curled their bodies and started spewing blood from their mouths.
It was obvious that they had suffered a terrifying blow.
Most importantly, they had no idea how Levi had launched his attack, and they could not believe how powerful he was.
Although they were not top-class fighters, they were still skilled.
Otherwise, they would not be given the responsibility of recruiting members for their alliance.
Even so, that did not matter, as they could never compare to the Deities.
Little did they know they would have been dead if Levi had not spared their lives.
However, they still put on a stubborn expression and threw insults at him again. “Very well. Since you’re mad and have the capabilities, why don’t you vent it on Idrae? From what I can see, you’re just a coward.”
“Look at you. You’re rather capable, aren’t you? What’s wrong? Are you scared of Idrae? Are you afraid of joining the expedition?”
They remained as stubborn as a mule.
Despite the fact that Levi had defeated them, they were still unwilling to give in.
They only saw him as a coward, and they wanted to insult him no matter what.
“One more word and I’m going to kill all of you!” Levi exuded a substantial murderous aura, sending chills down the visitors’ spine.
It only then they were truly afraid.
They felt as though Levi would actually kill them if they remained at that place a second longer.
“Is that all you’ve got? Since you only know how to kill others, I dare you to end Idrae once and for all!”
“You know what, Levi? Among all the people I know, you’re the one I have the least respect for.”
“Do you think we won’t be able to do anything without you? Well, we don’t need a useless piece of trash like you either. Just you wait. We’ll eliminate Idrae ourselves!”
After cursing at Levi, they scampered off.
They were afraid, but they wanted to provoke him still.
Despite that, Levi did not kill them because they were enemies of Idrae.
If not, they would have been dead long ago.
On their way out, the visitor heard Levi’s voice echoing in the air. “Only I can wipe out Idrae. No one else can!”
As soon as the visitors left, Forlevia woke up. She stared at Levi and said softly, “Daddy, I know you’re fearless and will take revenge alone. But I hope you won’t do that. I promise I’ll get better…”
Although Forlevia spent most of her time sleeping, she was well aware of the situation.
She, too, knew Idrae was given protection, and seeking revenge would only lead to death.
Especially when it came to Levi’s stubborn character. She knew her father would actually seek revenge from Idrae on his own.
Obviously, it seemed like an impossible thing to do no matter what the situation was.
And Forlevia did not want her father to be in danger.
Hearing that, Levi stroked her head and assured her, “Don’t worry. For now, I’m looking for a cure to make you better. We’ll talk about Idrae’s matters another time.”
It was only then that Forlevia felt relieved and went back to sleep.
Evidently, her symptom of sleepiness had worsened.
The poison was consuming her energy, leaving her no choice but to fall asleep.
The next day, Digital God finally arrived.
He started by cursing Idrae and Xyperia. Then he turned to Dr. Erebus and huffed, “Both you and I are actually just pawns being used by them. Trust me, never use the statuses we’ve been given to do anything. Otherwise, we might end up dying without even realizing it. I bet Xyperia will send us to a dangerous place in the future. When that happens, someone will kill us, and Xyperia will start a war because of it. After all, we’re now the country’s most honored guests. Anyone who touches a hair on our head is basically declaring war on Xyperia.”
Digital God had already analyzed the situation where Xyperia would use their lives as the reason to start a war.
Truth was, many forces wanted to start a war, especially against places like Erudia that did not have Deities.
Countless people were thinking of the same thing, but they were lacking an excuse to do so.
This was where Dr. Erebus and Digital God come in.
For example, if he and Digital God were to die in Erudia suddenly, Xypeia would start a war by using the excuse of Erudia killing the saviors of the whole world and the guests of countless Deities.
Levi snickered. “I’ll definitely get back at them for shielding Idrae.”
Chapter 2913 Motive Behind Creating Final Malice
For some inexplicable reason, Dr. Erebus and Digital God were looking forward to that day—the day when Levi entered Xyperia.
“By the way, do you have any plans yet?” Levi asked, staring at Digital God with Dr. Erebus.
Digital God sighed and said, “There isn’t much, but I heard a rumor.”
“Oh? What rumor?” Levi asked.
“It’s about Final Malice. Do you know why they wanted to create it in the first place? Well, of course, the main reason is because of the benefits. But rumor has it that…”
When Levi and Dr. Erebus heard Digital God’s words, realization finally dawned on them.
Are the members of Idrae too bored? Why did they create such a poison? Besides, this poison must have caused them a large amount of money, materials, time, and effort.
Of course, Dr. Erebus actually knew the reason why.
Although he said he was doing it out of interest, he was, in fact, researching the poison as weapons for the Lab of Gods.
Now that they thought about it, it was impossible for Idrae to create Final Malice for no reason.
The organization was famous for researching ancient cultivators. Hence, they definitely did not create the poison out of mere interest.
Surely, there was a motive behind it.
At that moment, Final Malice’s level of usefulness had increased.
“They created Final Malice to deal with their enemy. But I’m not sure who exactly it is. I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it,” Digital God explained.
Levi exchanged glances with Dr. Erebus before saying, “Just exactly how scary is their enemy? Is this person really worth their effort of creating such a poison to be dealt with?”
Digital God nodded. “I had the same thought. That’s why I think there might be a solution if we were to look for this enemy of theirs.”
“This is theoretically possible. The fact that they specially made a poison to deal with this person shows just how powerful he or she is. But, where are we going to look for this person?” Dr. Erebus’ words were like a bucket of cold water dumped over Digital God’s flame of excitement.
Indeed, it was just a rumor, just like the Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild of Erudia.
They only gave the people empty hopes.
Sighing, he said, “That’s true. But I heard Xyperia is asking Idrae to create the antidote. After all, being in control of the poison is scarier than just using it.”
Though there was hope, the chances were too slim.
It was too intangible for Levi.
Hence, he rather believed in the Poison Handbook.
According to the handbook’s record, the second volume contained the details of Final Malice and a solution that could undo the effects of countless poisons once and for all. There were even details of a magical herb that could cure all kinds of poisons.
Hence, Levi’s motive at that moment was to look for the herb, hoping to find a kind of magical medicine that could undo the poison in Forlevia’s body.
That was where he planned to begin.
In the past, the probability of finding this kind of magical medicine was extremely low.
However, after the spiritual energy revival, it was possible that there could be magical medicines growing in certain locations.
Levi had no doubt about it.
After all, both he and Dr. Erebus had visited the restricted area during that period, and they acquired quite a huge harvest.
Of course, they never encountered the magical medicine that could remove Forlevia’s poison in one go.
The magical medicine they acquired was not enough to keep up with the poison in Forlevia’s body as it was of a lower class.
Nevertheless, there was still hope if they continued with the search.
With that, Levi’s team had grown to a total of four members.
The target location of their expedition was still the same—the restricted area.
Previously, the restricted areas they had been searching through were all on land; they never ventured into the coastal areas.
Hence, Levi and the others started searching the restricted areas in all of Raysonia’s coastal areas.
They had explored twelve of them in the span of seven days.
As usual, they had a huge harvest, and they even found many magical herbs.
Of course, they also encountered many Deity-level beasts from the sea.
Levi killed many of them, while Dr. Erebus retrieved many valuable items from the beasts’ bodies.
Those items had the power to increase their abilities, but they were useless to Forlevia.
None of the magical herbs from the seas worked.
Feeling at a loss, Levi could only tell himself to stay calm.
Chapter 2914 Rank One Restricted Area
However, just as they were about to leave Raysonia, Digital God’s intel came in handy.
He had brought them good news.
“I’ve found that there’s a sacred spring deep in Emberfall Rainforest. It has miraculous effects, and the locals drink it to cure all kinds of illnesses. Therefore, their lifespans are exceptionally long. Truthfully, the sacred spring is much greater than rumored. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it can bring someone back to life. To safeguard the sacred spring, the locals have made it sound less impressive than it is. It’s actually terrifying, but no one could explain how it came about for a long time.
“After the spiritual energy recovered, someone finally solved the mystery of the sacred spring. As it turns out, it’s because there’s a small spiritual ley line beneath it! There’s an abundance of spiritual energy within the spiritual ley line that nourished the sacred spring, conferring it with magical effects.
“After the recovery of the spiritual energy, the spiritual ley line was blasted open. Most of the spiritual ley line has merged into the sacred spring, which is now even more terrifyingly impressive than before. I’m certain that it’ll be able to cure any kind of poison.”
After listening to Digital God’s explanation, Levi became eager to leave.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
The four of them hurried off.
“Although there are many herbs that have absorbed spiritual energy or have been nourished by the spiritual energy, this sacred spring has been nourished by the spiritual ley line for a long time. Hence, it became a healing spring. Furthermore, after this incident, it has become a magical medicine spring. I’d say this is something we can put our hope in,” Levi explained.
He was hopeful about it.
What he wanted was something like the spring, a panacea that could cure all kinds of toxins at once.
Moreover, with the support he would provide from the side, Levi was optimistic about curing Forlevia.
The four of them rushed toward Emberfall Rainforest.
Nevertheless, there was an issue.
Natural land like Emberfall Rainforest had long since been declared a restricted area by all countries.
According to the regulations, Rank Three restricted areas were regions with Deity-level beasts.
Various major forces of all countries were exploring and excavating the place orderly. Naturally, they would have to recruit more than two Deities before going on the expedition.
Rank Two restricted areas were regions with at least ten Deity-level beasts.
As of then, other than Xyperia, no other countries dared to explore Rank Two restricted areas.
It would naturally be a joyous occasion if their expedition went well, but they would lose many Deities if they were to fail.
Many small countries did not even have the resources to carry out expeditions, nor could they afford to make the sacrifices in the event of mishaps.
Rank One restricted area was the scariest, for they were regions with fifty to hundred Deity-level beasts, as well as unknown horrors.
An example of those unknown horrors would be naturally existing dangers similar to South Pole’s spiritual energy whirlpool. Even a Deity might not survive it.
There were not many Rank One restricted areas in the world, less than twenty.
Not even the people from Xyperia had explored a Rank One restricted area.
After all, they would need at least a hundred Deities for the expedition, which was too high of a cost.
Not even Xyperia was willing to take the risk, let alone the other forces.
The deep parts of the Emberfall Rainforest were classified as a Rank One restricted area.
Someone had estimated that there were at least a hundred Deity-level beasts in the depths of Emberfall Rainforest.
Furthermore, there were other kinds of natural hazards as well.
One of the major forces once forecasted that Emberfall Rainforest had naturally existing dangers that made the rainforest a dangerous place to explore even for a Deity, let alone normal people.
All in all, venturing into Emberfall Rainforest was akin to jumping into the jaws of death.
Digital God only thought of that problem halfway into their journey.
It was not because he lacked faith in Levi’s prowess, but the Rank One restricted area was simply too horrifying.
No one knew what the sight of over a hundred Deity-level beasts was like.
Only then did he realize why few knew about the sacred spring.
Perhaps it was not because they did not know about it but because they did not dare to speak of it.
He was certain that many knew about the sacred spring, but as it was located in the deep parts of the Emberfall Rainforest, no one had the courage to explore it, especially when it was a Rank One restricted area.
Only those with a death wish would head to a place like that.
Chapter 2915 More People
Not even a Deity would dare to go there, so it was even less likely for normal humans to take such a risk.
That was why no one would dwell on the matter for long or even mention it despite knowing about the sacred spring’s existence.
Since they could not explore the place and benefit from it, it was pointless for them to care about it.
If the sacred spring were that easy to find, they would have gone for it long ago, and news about it would have spread out.
Nevertheless, more people only learned about the sacred spring because the place was categorized as a Rank One restricted area.
Even so, they could not do anything about it.
The sacrifice of ten lives was not even enough for one person to get a sip of the spring water, and that was the same case for the Deities.
Therefore, no one would be willing to make that trip.
Of course, there were always exceptions.
Some Deities who wanted to improve themselves would head to the rainforest to gain more battle experience.
If they could survive the trip to the Rank One restricted area, their combat prowess would improve exponentially.
For example, many Deities from Xyperia had come to that place.
Naturally, they were not planning to take over the entire area as it would take around four to three hundred Deities to achieve such a goal.
It was too heavy of a price to pay.
At present, they were all there to improve their capabilities in the Rank One restricted area, so not many Deities came—just around forty to fifty.
Most worked in small groups of two to three, and some were alone.
Furthermore, many elites from Xyperia who were about to become Deities had come along, as well as young and promising elites.
It was rumored that they were there because of Idrae’s project of creating Deities.
As the sacred spring could play a vital role in the project, they were determined to get to the sacred spring.
With the sacred spring, their project would progress with ease.
Other resources could not be compared to it.
Many guessed that they were going to use the resources in that area to make Deities.
Xyperia was doing everything with a high profile. They did not care about what others thought of them, announcing each of their affairs.
It was as if they were provoking the others into attacking them.
Soon, Digital God found out about the news.
“Good! Very good! Kill anyone who dares to covet the sacred spring,” Levi ordered coldly.
Buzz!
At that moment, God Crusher, which was with him, began buzzing in excitement as though it knew a carnage would soon take place.
If anyone dared to stop him from getting the sacred spring, it was likely that he would massacre them all.
At the start, Levi thought that it would just be a normal expedition to the restricted area, but to his surprise, Xyperia and Idrae had gotten involved in it.
That finding thrilled Levi. “I hope more of them come. Otherwise, I won’t be able to kill enough of them to satisfy my thirst for blood.”
Nevertheless, Xyperia was not the only entity that had taken part in the sacred spring matter.
Despite the dangers, others were coming.
With high risks came great rewards, so there were bound to be fearless people who wished to try their luck.
Therefore, many had come to compete for the sacred spring.
Various forces were gathering in the vicinity of Emberfall Rainforest, about to enter the place in search of the sacred spring.
However, there was one problem that concerned them all, including the Xyperians.
Emberfall Rainforest was far too vast.
None of them knew the exact coordinates of the sacred spring; they did not even know its approximate location.
Moreover, they could not possibly wander everywhere like headless chickens.
The place was a Rank One restricted area, so danger lay in every inch of the land.
Wandering around would result in them encountering most of the Deity-level beasts and dangers within Emberfall Rainforest.
That was a scenario even the Xyperians did not wish to encounter, let alone the others.
Therefore, they fervently wished that they had a map.
That way, they could save time and effort.
By then, Levi and his company were outside Emberfall Rainforest.
Digital God and Dr. Erebus were worried about the same matter.
Where are we supposed to enter from? Where should we start searching from? I can’t think of what we should do. We can’t possibly comb through the entire place, right?
However, Levi sneered. “I know where it is.”
Chapter 2916 Exorbitant Map
Levi could perceive every inch of Emberfall Rainforest with his sharp senses, including where the ferocious beasts were.
As the sacred spring was full of spiritual energy, it was as bright as a sun in the dark to him.
In other words, he could easily detect it.
“I know where it is, and we’re at a bad spot,” Levi said after quickly pinpointing the spring’s location.
“Why?” the two asked in unison.
“We’re at one end, and the sacred spring is on the other extreme end,” Levi said, smiling in resignation.
He then urged, “Let’s go.”
Digital God and Dr. Erebus were curious about his words, but they followed along.
Indeed, Levi and company were in an awkward spot, for their destination was at the other end of the rainforest.
On the other hand, the other major forces were at better spots than them as they were closer to the sacred spring. In fact, they were twice as closer to the spring than Levi and his company.
Nevertheless, they were frustrated over the map issue as well.
Soon, their problem was solved—someone drew the map.
Not only had they drawn out the approximate location of the sacred spring, but they had also marked out the dangerous spots.
Those dangerous spots were the places Deity-level beasts roamed.
Of course, not everyone could get the map.
They had to buy it.
What they had to use to buy it was not money but resources like treasures or crystals containing a large amount of spiritual energy.
After the environment changed, the entire world was covered with spiritual energy, but its concentration varied from one place to another.
Some restricted areas—which were places with concentrated spiritual energy—had crystals formed by spiritual energy.
Those crystals were rare treasures for the fighters.
The concentration of the spiritual energy in such crystals was akin to that at the start of the spiritual energy recovery phase.
It was a fantastic item that would greatly boost the fighter’s abilities.
That was why it was the ultimate treasure among treasures.
Yet, the fighters had taken out a few of those crystals in exchange for the map.
Soon, all of the forces gathered outside Emberfall Rainforest had maps. The moment they obtained it, they darted into the rainforest.
Unlike others, Xyperia immediately figured out the sacred spring’s location.
As they had many Deities on their side, naturally, they would also possess an assortment of abilities.
One of the Deities’ abilities was detecting places with a high concentration of spiritual energy or special herbs. That was how they could pinpoint the location of the sacred spring.
Thus, the Xyperians did not need a map; they could find the place themselves.
With that, the elites from Xyperia separated into groups before entering Emberfall Rainforest.
Like the others, their plan was to seize the sacred spring before training in the rainforest.
It was the first time after the recovery of spiritual energy that people were exploring Rank One restricted areas.
By then, Levi and the other two were traversing the rainforest.
“Mr. Garrison, my intel tells me that many have entered the rainforest, including Deities. It seems like everyone is determined to get the sacred spring. Although they don’t pose a threat to us, I’m afraid they might still affect us,” Digital God said worriedly.
Levi shared the same thought.
Although he did not deem the Deities as a threat, he was desperate to get the sacred spring to treat Forlevia and thus did not want anything or anyone to stand in his way.
His only wish was to get the sacred spring right away without interruption.
Hence, he calmly said, “It’ll be easy.”
Boom!
An invisible aura emanated from Levi and shook the entire rainforest.
Instantly, his aura blanketed every corner of the boundless rainforest.
Although Deities and humans could not sense the aura, the ferocious beasts in the rainforest did.
The moment they sensed Levi’s murderous aura, they all went berserk, including the Deity-level beasts.
It was as though they had lost their mind from being roused.
Chapter 2917 What Is In Here
Stimulated by Levi’s aura, the Deity-level beasts began rushing everywhere in the rainforest.
They had no direction or destination, going anywhere they liked.
The other kinds of beasts were doing the same as well.
Chaos descended upon Emberfall Rainforest.
The birds were flying everywhere, and beasts were charging in all directions. They were all screeching and bellowing.
The sounds they made sent chills down everyone’s spines.
Boom!
In the next second, the ground beneath Dr. Erebus and the others’ feet shook, and they nearly lost their balance.
However, Levi remained poised and ordered, “Let’s go.”
Despite their puzzlement, the two continued to follow Levi.
The strong vibrations happened everywhere in Emberfall Rainforest, and the fighters from major forces and Xyperia felt them too.
“W-What’s going on? Something’s wrong!”
The tremors were extremely intense.
Furthermore, the terrifying aura they felt, as well as the sounds coming from the Deity-level beasts, made them shake in their boots.
Even the Deities were frowning.
What’s happening? It seems like a commotion has broken out.
The pungent scent of blood wafted toward their noses in the next second.
Without a doubt, that scent signified the arrival of the beasts.
Promptly, the people began panicking.
“W-What’s going on? Are the beasts attacking now?” asked a young man.
“Who cares? We just have to follow the map.”
“Yes, let’s follow the map to avoid all of the beasts.”
They still had their trust in the markings on the map and were about to avoid the places where the beasts roamed according to it.
Little did they know that the beasts in Emberfall Rainforest were no longer gathered in specific spots because of the aura Levi had unleashed earlier.
The beasts were running amok in the rainforest.
In other words, they were everywhere.
The markings on the map were no longer of any use, for the beasts had long strayed out of the marked spots.
As of then, the map could only be used to locate the sacred spring.
Everything else about it was useless, especially the markings of the ferocious beasts’ haunts.
The group of Xyperians was powerful and professional.
One of their Deities possessed the genes of a beast, so they were half human, half beast.
Thus, that Deity was particularly sensitive toward the presence of other beasts and had even mastered his ability after the spiritual energy recovery.
When the Xyperians ventured into restricted areas, he had to be with them to perceive the number of Deity-level beasts present.
As such, that Deity noticed that the beasts had gone berserk right after Levi unleashed his aura.
“The beasts have gone mad! They’ve all gone mad! I can sense them rushing in all directions as if someone had made them all insane. I… There are even Deity-level beasts among the rampaging ones. One… Two… Three…”
That Deity was stunned after sensing the beasts.
He could not even count how many Deity-level beasts were among the beasts that ran amok.
“A-All of the Deity-level beasts might be charging everywhere in the rainforest. It seems like they’ve been triggered by something. Maybe something has threatened their lives, so they’re scuttling everywhere.”
“What?”
The others paled when they heard his words.
“There are over a hundred Deity-level beasts in this area! How can they be all over the place? What made them act like this? What threatened their lives?”
The people were baffled by the situation.
The half-beast Deity then said, “No, wait. I sense their fear. Even the Deity-level beasts are afraid. They’re running everywhere because they’re scared that they might die. It’s their fear that’s making them run everywhere restlessly!”
“What? Their fear?”
“What could be in here? Treasures? Or could there be even more powerful beasts here?”
Everyone was making guesses.
Chapter 2918 The Danger Of The Sacred Spring
After a round of analysis, the leaders of the Xyperians surmised that there must be an even more powerful beast residing in Emberfall Rainforest, an entity much mightier than they could imagine.
After all, their research told them that beasts could absorb spiritual energy better than humans.
It would not be surprising if a beast stronger than the Deity-level beasts were to exist.
All of the Deities of Xyperia came to one conclusion—there was no upper limit to a being’s power after the spiritual energy recovery.
In other words, an entity that even a Deity could not define might exist.
That was why the Xyperians realized that there had to be an invincible being in the rainforest.
“Be careful, everyone. If you encounter it, retreat immediately. Call for help right away so that you can help each other to get out of the place.”
The Xyperians had formulated an escape plan to deal with such a situation.
In the meantime, many others had encountered the rampaging beasts, including Deity-level beasts.
Those beasts had gone into a frenzied, bloodthirsty state, and they began attacking the people with the most ferocious moves.
In a blink of an eye, many were killed or injured.
The fortunate ones would only encounter one to two Deity-level beasts, so they could still flee in time.
The unfortunate ones would encounter dozens of Deity-level beasts at once and were wiped out in no time.
Even though some did not bump into Deity-level beasts, the tens of thousands of beasts were more than enough to annihilate the major forces.
Despite having a guide, many of the teams of Xyperia still ended up encountering the beasts.
The whole place was a battlefield.
On the other hand, Levi and his company progressed smoothly.
The people he would have encountered were preoccupied with defending themselves against the beasts.
Moreover, the beasts dared not come close to Levi when they took a whiff of his aura.
Thus, there were no obstacles in Levi’s way.
Some of the beasts that could not stop in time and encountered Levi were so terrified that they would scurry away as swiftly as possible.
They looked a sorry sight.
Digital God cast a perplexed gaze at Levi. “Mr. Garrison, you can control these beasts?”
Dr. Erebus laughed. “No. They’re just afraid of Mr. Garrison.”
At that moment, Digital God realized something, and he turned to look at Levi in disbelief. “Could it be that the happenings in the rainforest are because…”
The astonishment he felt stopped him from finishing his sentence.
Finally, the three of them traversed the entire rainforest and arrived at the sacred spring.
Boom!
A powerful wave of aura assaulted them just as they reached, nearly causing them to topple over.
As it turned out, the sacred spring had seven powerful beasts around it.
More accurately, they were the overlords of the rainforest and had forcibly taken over the sacred spring to nourish their bodies.
One of them was a python which was almost on par with the snake Levi had encountered at the South Pole.
At the start, Levi wondered why the beasts remained unmoving.
Do they not sense my aura?
However, he soon realized it was because his aura was covered by something else.
The spiritual energy in the small-sized super-spiritual ley line was too concentrated that it blocked out Levi’s aura.
Otherwise, even if the seven beasts were the overlords of that place, they should have long gone mad after sensing his aura.
“This…”
It was the first time Dr. Erebus and Digital God had encountered that many beasts.
Instantly, fear caused their hair to stand on end, and their legs began to shake.
The beasts by the sacred spring were much more powerful than ordinary Deity-level beasts.
If they were not the strongest among the hundred-odd Deity-level beasts in the rainforest, they could not have managed to dominate the place.
What they had encountered was something they had never anticipated.
It seemed like others would not be able to obtain the sacred spring even if they managed to arrive there.
Dr. Erebus could foresee that even when forty to fifty Deities were sent out, they might still fail to win against the seven beasts, for they were the overlords among the Deity-level beasts.
Furthermore, they had been absorbing unimaginable amounts of spiritual energy from the sacred spring that made them stronger and stronger every second.
No one would be able to gain access to the spring.
They would all die there instead.
“What do we do now?”
Chapter 2919 The Effective Healing Spring
Digital God was panic-stricken, and so was Dr. Erebus.
Those overlord-class beasts were simply terrifying!
They opened their mouths wide again upon seeing them, displaying their powerful presence.
Although Dr. Erebus had followed Levi into many restricted areas, he had never seen something this terrifying.
He felt as though his soul had been ripped out of his body.
If it was a Deity-class fighter he had encountered, Dr. Erebus felt that he could still fight back if he exerted all his efforts.
However, when faced with these creatures, he did not even possess the courage to attack them.
He also wondered why they did not flee before this and even upon seeing Levi at present.
That was what he found terrifying.
“Scram!” Levi said in a chilly voice as he threw them a glance.
Swoosh!
An imposing aura descended upon the area.
The beasts instantly felt an overwhelming sense of oppression and were petrified.
As another deafening noise rang out, they all fled in an instant as though they had just encountered their worst enemies.
Huh?
Dr. Erebus and Digital God were stunned.
That’s all it takes to chase them away?
Levi, on the other hand, went over to the sacred spring and immediately began to assess it.
The spring was not small and could at least accommodate one person.
Spiritual energy beneath it was still barreling toward it, and despite being broken, the spiritual ley line had not been completely absorbed by the sacred spring.
It was expected to take some time, which meant that the sacred spring could become even more effective.
“It’s simply incredible! It’s truly a healing spring. All the treasures we have found before are not as effective as taking a sip from this spring!” Levi exclaimed.
When Dr. Erebus took a sip of spring water, the side effects that were left behind after using a special method to stimulate his body to improve his abilities during the earlier battle with Idrae were immediately dispelled.
He could feel unbelievable changes taking place within his entire body.
“My goodness!” he exclaimed.
Digital God also felt his entire physique go through an astounding change after taking a sip of the water.
Aside from his super-intellect, he was just an ordinary man without any abilities.
However, the sacred spring had altered his body completely.
“Its effectiveness is simply astounding! It’s so much better than the other treasures we’ve encountered!” Dr. Erebus exclaimed.
In Levi’s eyes, it was an enormous surprise!
The sacred spring was far more effective than he had imagined.
It was a literal healing spring, and with the nourishment from the spiritual ley line, it was practically water from the heavens that could raise the dead.
Moreover, the spring was still continuously nourished by the spiritual ley line, so its effectiveness would only increase in time.
“What about Evie? Should she drink from it as well?” Digital God asked.
“No. She should just soak herself in it. Evie!”
After waking Forlevia up, Levi helped her into the healing spring, soaking her whole body in it to maximize its effectiveness.
“This may hurt, so please bear with it,” Levi forewarned her.
“All right, Daddy!” she replied before clenching her teeth.
In an instant, the medicinal power of the sacred spring spread throughout her entire body.
Forlevia immediately suffered extreme pain. At that moment, she seemed to have gained control of her body again.
Every pain nerve within her body seemed to have been activated, and the pain was far more intense than anything she had ever endured.
During the time she came out to gain exposure, she was honing her own abilities and had endured unimaginable pain.
However, it was nothing compared to what she was experiencing at present.
Steam was rising out of Forlevia’s every pore as her features contorted with pain.
However, it was soon replaced by colorful toxins, and the medicinal power seemed to be detoxifying them.
Levi waited anxiously at the side, ready to step in should anything happen to her.
His heart broke seeing her endure such extreme pain, and he could not stop his tears from falling.
Evie is just a child…
Chapter 2920 Is Everyone Here I’m going to finish them off!
Similarly, Dr. Erebus felt his scalp tingle while observing the scene.
Having conducted autopsies his entire life, he naturally understood the different levels of pain, which was how he knew that the pain Forlevia was experiencing at present was of the highest level.
After all, every part of her body and every single pore were suffering extreme pain.
“Hang in there! You must hang in there!”
The trio stood guard beside Forlevia.
Despite the continuous extreme pain she was in, Levi’s furrowed eyebrows gradually relaxed.
It’s working! Sure enough, the directions given in the second half of the Poison Handbook are correct! There is indeed something that could cure all kinds of toxins at once, and now it’s obvious that this sacred spring is… I can clearly sense that the medicinal power of the spring is getting rid of the toxins. Even if the effects aren’t particularly prominent, it’s still detoxifying her body little by little. It’s working! It’s truly working!
Levi had to pay close attention to sense the little effect that the gold magical medicine had previously.
However, this time it was truly effective as anyone could see with their own eyes that the toxins were being forced out a little.
He was overjoyed at the progress.
It truly works! Although the poison within Evie’s body can’t be completely cured after a while at this rate, at least half of it could be gotten rid of. Moreover, the healing spring is still absorbing the exploded spiritual ley line. Once it has been completely absorbed, the medicinal power will be even more different. Soaking for an extended time in it may even remove all the poison from Evie’s body.
At that moment, the healing spring started to boil, with tiny bubbles popping up on the surface.
Everyone finally saw how scary Final Malice was.
As the medicinal power was needed for detoxification, the healing spring was slowly losing its medicinal essence.
In other words, Forlevia was absorbing the medicinal essence of the spring water, and as a result, it was turning into ordinary spring water.
Once she had completely absorbed it, it would become nothing more than an ordinary spring without any effects.
Fortunately, the sacred spring had been nourished for a long time, at least a thousand years, according to sources.
It was unlikely that Forlevia would be able to quickly absorb the astounding amount of medicinal power contained in the spring water.
Moreover, there was a broken spiritual ley line nourishing it from below.
Hence, the spring could probably last for some time and could remove most of her toxins.
Of course, this also showed how powerful the poison was.
A thousand-year-old spring that was still continuously nourished by the spiritual ley line to this day could not get rid of it completely and even required a long time.
Even so, Levi thought that the current result was much better than before, as it was the only time he saw actual hope in front of him.
Despite that, the unbearable pain had Forlevia screaming at the top of her lungs.
“Huh? Someone actually got here before us?”
Just then, one shadow followed after another as a team of fighters from Xyperia slowly emerged and gathered around.
The other motley crew of people could not predict where the beasts would appear and so wandered everywhere, engaging in fierce battles with the ferocious creatures.
However, Xyperia had a team backing them from behind consisting of Deities who could detect the location of the sacred spring and Deities who could sense the presence of the beasts.
Hence, despite the arduous journey, they still pulled through and found the location of the spring.
In their opinion, no matter how many people came in, they could only be the ones to find the sacred spring.
However, they were not expecting someone to arrive there before them.
“Isn’t that Levi Garrison? What are they doing here?”
Everyone recognized Levi and his company immediately.
Upon seeing Forlevia soaking in the sacred spring, they came to a sudden realization.
“Crap. Levi brought his daughter to the sacred spring to get rid of the poison!”
At present, Idrae was in Xyperia, so everyone in the country knew that Forlevia had been poisoned.
The group instantly charged straight at him.
Seeing them, Levi said coldly, “Is everyone here? I wish to kill you all!”
Anyone who dares disturb my daughter’s treatment must die, especially when they’re protecting Idrae!
