Chapter 1346: Fusing the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The Fiend King Scepter’s emergence had the Soul Familiars quaking in their boots!

None of them had known that this was the supreme treasure the Four Sky Devils had left behind for the Fiends! Not only was it powerful in combat, it could control the four Soul Familiars!

“Argh!”

Gale was in excruciating pain, howling loudly. It was like the Fiend King Scepter was a lethal threat to him! He rolled around on the ground so crazily that there was no way his pain could be feigned.

Wing pointed at Xia Fei and shouted, “The Fiend King Scepter! Why do you have that!?”

!!

Xia Fei was very naughty. He turned off the scepter, lessening the pain Gale was feeling, but then he turned the scepter back on, sending Gale rolling around on the ground again.

After testing it several times, Xia Fei stopped experimenting and finally said, “It doesn’t matter how I got the Fiend King Scepter. In short, I have it. If you want Gale to live, you’ll withdraw. I have questions to ask him.”

“How can we trust you!?” Wing demanded shrilly.

Xia Fei smiled. “You don’t have any choice except to trust me! Remember, we’re not enemies, nor do we have a conflict of interest. But I have to know what it is that you’re up to,” Xia Fei answered coolly.

After some thought, Wing said darkly, “I can tell you everything you want to know, but call off the Fiend King Scepter and stop using it to threaten Gale!”

Chuckling, Xia Fei shook his head. “You? Forget it. I’d rather hear what Gale has to say!”

Xia Fei’s plan was clear. He had already noticed that while Wing was the strongest of the four Soul Familiars, Gale was the smartest and the one who made most of the decisions.

Moreover, he had the means of controlling Gale, but not the other three Soul Familiars. Thus, he preferred to hear what Gale had to say, as the Fiend King Scepter ensured that Gale would be telling the truth.

Recent events had left Xia Fei feeling a sense of danger. It was clear that Wing, Gale, Ocean, and Calamity knew a lot, and Xia Fei needed to extract the useful information from their mouths. For that purpose, Xia Fei did not mind offending the four Soul Familiars.

Xia Fei smiled naughtily as he activated the Fiend King Scepter again, causing Gale to howl in pain once more.

“Stop hurting him! We’re leaving!” Wing said hastily. The three Soul Familiars left Gale behind and retreated from the eighth universe with a whirl of motion.

Yangguang and Chu Jingfeng sighed in relief. Chu Jingfeng said, “It’s a good thing the four Soul Familiars know when to retreat. If we had really fought, we all might have ended up heavily injured. That was very risky just now!”

Xia Fei said grimly, “You’re either friend or foe! Did you not notice? The four Soul Familiars are a huge problem, keeping their distance from both us and the Annihilators. I don’t like putting off problems. It’s best to resolve them as quickly as possible!”

…

Returning to the main hall, Yangguang released that fellow that the four Soul Familiars had bound up. The moment his restraints were loosened, the guy lunged at Yangguang, his teeth bared and his hands like claws.

Bang!

Yangguang was very annoyed. The dignity of the Yggdragon King could not be blasphemed, and he naturally didn’t like this guy trying to run into him. With a casual slap, he knocked the guy unconscious.

“This guy’s body can’t endure the powerful energy of an Elemental Immemorial Mystical Armament. We found him hiding in the wilderness, eating birds and beasts. He had completely lost it,” Gale explained calmly.

Xia Fei nodded. He had Xu Luanbu tie the man up again so that he didn’t cause any more trouble.

“Please sit.” Xia Fei was surprisingly polite, asking Gale to sit across from him.

Gale was startled, but he sat down on the indicated chair. Surrounded by Xia Fei’s people, Gale had given up on trying to strike back.

“You are the Soul Familiar of a Sky Devil, so you shouldn’t be our enemy. But your actions are too weird, so you forced me to do this. Please explain yourself.”

Xia Fei’s opening words were very frank and open, but Radix and Chu Jingfeng, who knew Xia Fei, found themselves very disgusted. The four Soul Familiars had been acting too weird? It was clearly Xia Fei’s conduct that didn’t make sense!

Xia Fei knew that the pressure of martial might coupled with gentleness was the key to winning hearts and minds. After saying his piece about the greater good, Xia Fei changed the subject and said, “It’s still the same question. Why do you want the Jade Dragon Frost’s fruit so badly?”

Gale sighed. After looking around, he whispered, “This matter started a very long time ago. As you know, we are the Soul Familiars of the Four Sky Devils, and we each carry a part of the soul of the Sky Devils. This is why we are very reluctant to take orders from the Fiends.

“Later on, the Sky Devils abandoned us, leaving the four of us in the care of the Fiend Race. This matter still troubles us, so we’ve always been trying to find out where the Sky Devils went. In the process, we came into conflict with several of the Fiend Race’s kings.

“You Fiends feared that we would cause trouble, so they used the Pillars of the Four Kings left by the Sky Devils, sealing us away in the cenotaphs of the Four Sky Devils, where we remained until you charged into the tomb of Broken Wing Sky Devil Paletooth, releasing Wing. Wing released us, and so the four Soul Familiars returned to the world.”

Everyone nodded. They were already familiar with this history. The four Soul Familiars believed that they had inherited the souls of the Four Sky Devils and were on a higher level than the Fiends. As they were unwilling to accept the control of the Fiend Race, the two sides had never gotten along well.

After pausing a bit, Gale said, “Once we were out, we had no plans on involving ourselves in the affairs of the Annihilation Universe. We continued to search for the Four Sky Devils, and we ultimately realized that Lord Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s Iron Book and his unripened Jade Dragon Frost might hold some clues.

“Thus, we began our investigation around Annihilation, but alas, we found no trace of the Iron Book or the Paired Comets, so we turned our attention to look for the Jade Dragon Frost. We then discovered what had happened between the Hell Brigade and God’s Eden. As for this guy who controls the Metal Mystical Armament, we came upon him on our travels.

“We knew you were in the middle of gathering the Immemorial Mystical Armaments, so we brought him to trade with you. We didn’t expect that you had found the Fiend King Scepter, which resulted in this.”

Xia Fei was baffled. “You’re looking for the Four Sky Devils? You know where they are?”

Gale nodded. “We don’t know their exact location, but that is a place that all experts will ultimately go to. The universe has been fractured into nine regions, but it’s actually still in one piece, which can be seen by how spatial rings can be used across the universes. We speculate that the Sky Devils are located beyond the heavens.”

“Beyond the heavens!?” everyone gasped in shock.

“By which I mean outside the universe. As you’ve probably guessed, the Four Sky Devils are not connected by blood to the Fiends. They were just like experts who were passing through an area. They simply rested there for a few years before setting off on their journey once more,” Gale said firmly.

In the end, the four Soul Familiars were born from fragments of the souls of the Sky Devils, so they knew much more than Yangguang and Chu Jingfeng!

After some thought, Xia Fei asked, “What about the Five Elemental Immemorial Mystical Armaments? What do you know about them?”

Gale replied, “Only when the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments are fused together can they exhibit their combat strength. From what I know, the fusion is not easy, for Metal, Plant, Water, Fire, and Earth both complement and counteract each other. But the Fiend Race considered this the most effective means of battling against the evil dragons. Perhaps the Four Sky Devils had privately told them something. In any case, the Fiend Race had a very high regard for the Elemental Mystical Armaments.”

—

Gale’s reply was quite sincere. After asking all his questions, Xia Fei had Gale go off to another room while he spoke with Chu Jingfeng and Yangguang.

“What do you think about what Gale said?” Xia Fei asked them.

“He didn’t seem to be lying,” Chu Jingfeng said, and Yangguang nodded in agreement.

“What do you plan to do with him?” Yangguang asked.

Xia Fei replied, “We’ll keep him here for now. I plan to fuse the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments as soon as I can, and then I can think about what to do with the four Soul Familiars.”

…

The fifth Immemorial Mystical Armament crawled onto Xia Fei’s body. The Immemorial Mystical Armaments were very strange, insisting on rooting themselves in Xia Fei’s body.

Safe in the distance, Chu Jingfeng and Yangguang stared at Xia Fei. After all, nobody actually understood how the Fiend Race had fused together the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments.

Several minutes went by, after which Xia Fei shrugged at Yangguang and the others, indicating that nothing had happened. It was like the Mystical Armaments were sleeping. They showed no signs of fusing together, or anything else, for that matter.

Rumble!

As Xia Fei was wondering what to do, five beams of light suddenly shot into the air!

Green represented Plant, yellow represented Earth, red represented Fire, blue, represented Water, and black represented Metal. Together, they created a blinding light in the sky!

These colors that represented different elements turned into clouds and then drilled into Peacock Blue on Xia Fei’s right arm!

Peacock Blue was Xia Fei’s first Elemental Mystical Armament, so the fusion used Peacock Blue as the base!

Those outside had no idea what was going on, and they didn’t dare to get too close to Xia Fei, for at this moment, the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments had all gone crazy!

Xia Fei had become a dark silhouette, his body surrounded by a cage made from flames, giant rocks, water, and metal! Except for the Plant Elemental Peacock Blue, the other Mystical Armaments were seemingly at odds with Xia Fei, encircling him in a frenzy!

Chu Jingfeng felt like Xia Fei had become a cauldron, and the five Elemental Mystical Armaments were blazing within it. Xia Fei needed to rely on his own strength to melt down the five Elemental Mystical Armaments and forge them into a new Mystical Armament!

Xia Fei suddenly accelerated, slamming into the cage loudly and sending it tumbling through the air.

It appeared like a rainbow dragon, Xia Fei leaving a trail of five-colored light behind him like the tail of a comet.

He moved faster and faster, as if he wanted to transcend the limits of the Law of Speed!

Chu Jingfeng stared at the measurement device in his hand as he cried out, “Heavens! Is that the current limit of Xia Fei’s speed!?”

“Just how fast is it?” Yangguang looked down at the device in Chu Jingfeng’s hand, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

So many zeroes! So many! After cultivating the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley, Xia Fei had broken a speed of one hundred million!

Everyone knew that the speed of light was three hundred million meters per second. Xia Fei had far surpassed the limits of the Law of Speed, reaching a third of light speed!

Moreover, this was only the power of the first rank of the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley. There was no telling what astonishing speed Xia Fei would reach once he completely cultivated the sacred text!

Yangguang’s eyes shone as he cried out, “Heaven-defying! Truly heaven-defying!”

As the most difficult law, speed was incredibly deadly, possessing immense combat power!

Xia Fei had already reached an unprecedented speed! Only the Broken Wing Sky Devil Paletooth could have compared to him!

With ongoing rumbles, the chaotic scene in the sky continued as Xia Fei continued to wrangle with the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments!
