Chapter 967: Chapter 460_2

“In my lifetime, I was indeed one of the Kings of Mingxia, and this is indeed my tomb.”

“In your lifetime?” Li Yelai repeated the words.

“Indeed, I have already died.” The Thorny Knight, covered in scars, spoke in a voice still ethereal: “We also suffered from the corrosion of the Heartless Fruit. We failed to detect it in time until the traitors launched a rebellion. With the great upheaval, the power of Chaos corrupted everything. Countless young talents were parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, gradually turning into monsters indulging in all desires!”

“So many heroes died in battle, and numerous heroes who suppressed the rebellion were parasitized by the Heartless Fruit, gradually becoming the cancer of civilization!”

“In order to combat the Heartless Fruit, we took many measures. But we couldn’t easily eliminate the parasitized ones, or we’d be parasitized ourselves. We could only isolate and seal them. Some parasitized heroes raised knives against the infected to prevent the spread of the Heartless Fruit, eventually ending themselves. Yet this still couldn’t stop the descent of destruction.”

“And I, myself mortally wounded during a sealing of traitors. Even the throne was already in ruins…”

The throne… King’s throne!

After a Spiritual Ability User ascends to become a King, they construct a throne in the Void Realm.

This is why a Nine Awakenings Spiritual Ability User is called a ‘King’.

And the shattering of the throne is tantamount to the death of a King.

In the Immortal Palace, the Immortal who once appeared.

Because the throne was destroyed, although his body was revived, he still couldn’t unleash his true power.

No wonder, saying it was in his lifetime… with the throne in ruins, he was virtually dead.

“But I was not completely dead. Though the King’s throne was in ruins, it still held mighty power. On this basis, my tomb was founded. Thus, the Inheritance Land left for the Flames was born.” There was a trace of reminiscence in the voice.

The Mingxia Civilization was indeed splendid; it absorbed the technological heritage and Secret Treasure from two powerful Void Realm Civilizations, digesting all heritage over the long years, leading the civilization to prosperity.

They even believed, if the Physical World had been consumed by Disaster Fog, they would counterattack the Physical World, aid surviving humans, and establish a new human civilization.

The Old Mad King wanted to reclaim territory, seize back 12.6 million square kilometers of land!

Whereas Mingxia Civilization was entirely conservative.

They would consider the Old Mad King too conservative.

This time, the red flag would have to spread across the world!

However, Chaos’s invasion destroyed all beautiful wishes and ideals.

In several decades, the powerful civilization experienced great upheaval and Heartless Fruit corruption, its social structure collapsing rapidly.

Eventually, even the last King was about to die.

They could only initiate the final plan, to develop a new space, placing the un-parasitized Flames into this space.

And that nearly deceased King continued to protect his people, his compatriots, in another form.

His remains and the shattered throne became the core of the Inheritance Land.

And his consciousness transformed into a being resembling the Mechanical Soul.

Thus, he was also the Gravekeeper.

Guarding his own grave, guarding the grave of his civilization.

Meanwhile, he was also the Inheritor of the civilization, controlling the permissions of the inheritance devices to some extent.

The Mingxia Civilization hoped that in the future, human Spiritual Energy and technology would rise rapidly, thereby rescuing this King from his state of living death.

After that, the Mingxia Civilization launched its final battle… no matter what, they wouldn’t see that scene.

What they had to do was to perish along with the Heartless Fruit and those human traitors!

In that battle, countless human heroes rushed to the battlefield, using their blood and bones to resist the invasion of Chaos.

Eventually, both sides almost perished, thus completely severing the Heartless Fruit.

Everything was supposed to be as the Mingxia Civilization planned.

With the aid of the King’s Machine Soul, under the guardianship of various Gravekeepers.

The Flames would sequentially receive the inheritance of Spiritual Energy and technology within two hundred years, rapidly developing, thus breaking to rebuild.

However, the seeds of Chaos silently sprouted. There was a traitor among the Gravekeepers.

The vast legacy fell into the hands of the Chaos believers of the Jile Church.

When Li Yelai intermittently gathered this information.

He had already slain the Thorny Knight and the subsequent two residual sounds, beginning to face the Sixth Resonance Avatar.

At this point, Li Yelai wanted to speak, but dared not be distracted.

The Sixth Resonance, was a red-haired Female Knight clad in elongated light armor.

She wielded a single saber, her speed extremely fast. Her blade danced like a waterbird in flight.

The blade left traces in midair and could execute multiple stage pursuits. It was the Netherworld Path’s, Hidden Blade Burst Blade!

Simultaneously, the Flowing Illusion Shadow Strike, Shadow Step, and Shadow Blade cooperated closely.

Bringing tremendous pressure to Li Yelai, as if facing the Little Mad King.

According to the King’s words, this was the residual sound avatar recorded during the Sixth Sense Period of the Mingxia Civilization’s Supreme.

It forced Li Yelai to use the Face, War State Butcher Bai Qi, Blood Prison Demon Suppression!

As the heavy pressure dropped, the Female Knight’s speed abruptly decreased.

Li Yelai seized the opportunity, grabbed the long spear, directly breaking her arm.

It was at this point that he asked, “Do you have no countermeasures?”

“Countermeasures, of course we have…”

“My remains are already broken, hitting that can reverse it, return to my throne. Reinstate the King’s combat power!”

“I can act for Mingxia, for humanity, one more time!”

“But there is only one chance… just one!”

“Even as a King, I cannot in one strike save all my people or eliminate all Chaos believers.”

The King’s power is naturally boundless, in the years when even Supremes were rare.

If he launched an attack, the Chaos believers within the Jile Subsidiary wouldn’t possibly survive.

But it’s not enough; this cannot solve the problem, after using the last countermeasure, the Jile Sect would still return to Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, continuing to dominate his people.

And he, would never again be able to respond.
