Chapter 1618 - 1125: Light Curse

Chapter 1618: Chapter 1125: Light Curse

Just as the Fuyun Courtyard was filled with joy, the Outer Heaven Demon "Creator God" in the Ghost Realm was restless.

Logically, the injuries sustained from a sudden attack earlier were not severe; a little care would suffice for recovery. However, strangely, those minor injuries were like a bone-invading disease, not life-threatening yet not healing!

"What kind of insignificant being used such vile means? If this deity finds you, I will ensure your soul is scattered!" He furiously stared at a small wound on his left waist.

What made Him even more frustrated was that as time passed, this small wound not only didn’t heal but worsened, as if something was constantly eroding his body and Divine Soul.

The "Creator God" became increasingly anxious; if not resolved soon, this injury might cause him to gradually rot until his God and form perished! It’s not urgent to coax other Demon Monarchs into descending to the world; the priority is discovering how to recover from the injury.

The explanation for contacting the Eternal Night Demon Monarch certainly needed to be changed.

After a moment of silence, the reply sent a shiver down His spine—He was actually cursed by the legendary Light Curse!

In the Dark World, there has always been a legend that opposite to the Tree of Life is a Bright World, where one yin and one yang coexist. For the Bright World, endless darkness causes frightening pollution; and for the Dark World, light can corrode and decompose it.

The Light Curse, the most dreadful "Lingchi" from the Bright World.

Once afflicted, one wouldn’t immediately decompose or perish, but over time, the body and Divine Soul corrode, magic power gradually fades, and life energy slowly dissipates.

Its terror lies in: Even if the cursed demon falls, the Light Curse doesn’t halt. It traces the soul of the fallen demon and then attaches to the Outer Heaven Demon most closely related, continuing the corrosion and decomposition, then traces to find the next target after succeeding.

To completely solve the problem from the root, there is only one way—kill the culprit who released the curse!

Only when the opponent is dead would the curse lose its constant reinforcement and thus disappear. By then, the injuries would gradually recover, officially ending this crisis.

"So, I must descend to the mortal realm before perishing, find the one who cursed me, and kill him!" It took a while to accept the situation; the Creator God bottled up fury with nowhere to vent.

The only good news is: Between the cursed and the curser, there will be an invisible link.

Once He descends to the mortal realm, He can locate the instigator through this invisible link.

There is also a bittersweet news: No matter how He dies, as long as the curser isn’t killed, the Light Curse will continue to trace and corrode the closest kin and relations.

The advantage is, even if He dies, continuously many Demon Monarchs would be cursed and forced to descend to eliminate the source; if successful, it’s considered revenge.

The disadvantage is, the opponent hides deep enough to be untraceable and undefeatable, implicating all Outer Heaven Demons in the Dark World!

Most importantly, in other circumstances He might have been directly silenced for big-picture considerations. But now this deity is afflicted by the Light Curse; as long as He falls, another unfortunate soul inherits the curse, continuing to be corroded, thus no Demon Monarch dares to harm Him, making it a peculiar life-saving charm.

"Why am I so unlucky?" He watched the wound slightly expand, feelings of anger and frustration surged; to preserve his life, plans must be made to personally descend to the mortal realm.

Jiang Yuan thought burning a billion Spirit Stones for the system was long over, little did he expect a beautiful big attack had harsher aftermath.

He stood pleasantly in the Fuyun Courtyard, surveying the buildings yet to upgrade, thinking fortunately he didn’t do the main task to gather more materials; otherwise upgrading a Level would waste the materials spent earlier.

Unfortunately, the Courtyard Upgrade Card only applies to the current Courtyard Level, leaving no chance for system bugs.

"Hah! Fortunately, the Home Upgrade Card is substantial; if I had to wait to build so many ferries, how long would it take?" Jiang Yuan secretly rejoiced and then saw the newly included area after the upgrade, filled with chaotic trees, overgrown weeds, and a huge pit.

[Tree pit suitable for planting Tree of Time]

Finally found a place to plant the tree!
