The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1272 - 484: Blood Splatters the Palace of the Gods

Heavenly Realm, Miemeng Clan Territory, three hundred miles from the Palace of the Gods.

A Four-winged Pink-winged Fly Demon Emperor suddenly lifts its head, its dark green pupils perfectly reflecting the endlessly stretching sky.

"It has begun."

"Mhm."

"Qingrong can’t win, we need to hurry."

"Mhm."

Speaking with the Four-winged Pink-winged Fly Demon Emperor is a golden divine bird with unusually large wings.

Beside them, a water-blue turtle with a clamshell as its back is lying on the ground, its small eyes squinting, its body swaying left and right as if on a rocking vehicle.

"Rip!!"

Space, like thin brittle paper, shatters with a slash.

A carpet-like creature lingering in the void darts over the heads of the three creatures like a streak of lightning.

The next second, at the deepest part of the Miemeng Clan Territory, the young Miemeng bird guarding the treasure vault door suddenly cries out in sorrow. As it attempts to escape, a flash of illusion passes and its head and torso are immediately severed.

"Don’t waste time, the divine bird can sense the death of its progeny, easily perceiving the anomaly here."

"Remember, we only need the ’Three-Soul Mushroom’; other treasures, no matter how precious, are unimportant. When that one descends into the world, we can have anything, do not lose the greater for the lesser."

"Xu Xuan, stop nagging, my ears are about to grow calluses."

"If all four Protectors fail, it’s not just you who will be faceless; I care about my face too."

"Exactly, the old turtle is stepping forward professionally in treasure theft, with no possibility of failure!"

...

Miemeng Clan Territory, Palace of the Gods.

The Eighteen-Winged Angelic Canon ascends slowly, with nine brilliant-as-blood wings on the left and nine splendid-as-gold wings on the right, its sanctity highlighting divine yet mingled with demonic allure, creating a strong sense of contradiction that makes it look extremely dangerous.

Across it, the Miemeng Divine Bird, trapped by ancient blood trees, roars as robust trunks all snap, escaping the peril immediately.

"The last Angel God from the Near Ancient period, so you haven’t fallen... good! Very good!"

"Today is my grand feast, and you schemingly hid inside the body of a descendant, ruining my banquet and injuring my guests, yet you dare to accuse me?!"

"Do you think you alone command the Heavenly God’s Secret Technique? My ’Celestial Treasury’, is it inferior to you?"

Light halos around the Miemeng Divine Bird surge, and a beautiful floating palace suddenly appears behind him.

The palace, like a heavenly paradise, has white cranes singing above, dark phoenixes resting below, peacocks looking up to the sky on the left, and serpent eagles bowing to the ground on the right.

Situated at the center, the Miemeng Divine Bird, like a God descending, with glass-like immortal aura twining its feathers, vast purple light shining from its chest, its body extremely green, tail fiery red, and beak like a sickle—parts of its true form gradually manifesting in the world.

"Xiao Feng, Xiaoku, Qin, protect the clan members well, stay away from the center of the battlefield."

"The rest of you esteemed guests, this Angel God is but a centipede, dead but still stiff."

"You all follow the Miemeng birds and leave this place, wait for me to kill the Eighteen-Winged Angelic Canon, and with the blood of the Divine Angel, comfort the souls of this place!"

"Rrr—"

Upon hearing this, five anxious young Miemeng birds immediately fly towards the area outside the Palace of the Gods.

They blaze a trail, with Wooden God Mountain’s Ling Yao, Ling Shuo, and the Thirty-Six Star Ladybug King and the Seven Sword Mantis Emissary from Giant Kun Valley, along with Sprite Tomb’s Jing Rui and Jing Gu, all turning deathly white, hurriedly fleeing.

"Damn it, the previous Heavenly God hasn’t died yet, in this strife between old and new, we won’t suffer collateral damage, will we?"

"Run! This is a true God’s battle, at such close distances, any minor aftershock will leave us with no burial place!"

"Beautiful Pepper! Great Hercules! Do you carry the Ancestor’s token? If you have a True God’s treasure for protection, please don’t be stingy!"

"Tsk."

The red-dressed woman from Pepper Sea disdainfully glances at the fully panicked Jing Rui, suddenly stuffing a string of peppers into her mount’s mouth.

"Roar!!"

The flying-capable peacock dragon, its eyes involuntarily emitting red light,

then, bearing divine pressure filling the sky, surpasses the young Miemeng birds, getting ahead to the area outside the Palace of Gods.

"Miss, we can’t escape the Angel God’s covered area."

"This Heavenly God’s Secret Technique called ’Haotian Wuji’ instantly covers half of the Heavenly Realm, the entire Miemeng Clan’s territory is enveloped, nowhere is absolutely safe."

"How do we break it?"

Beautiful Pepper directly asks the Protector.

The Protector slows his flight, his voice deep, his expression tightening:

"To break this technique, we can only wait for the Miemeng Divine Bird to defeat it."

"But one is a new God, the other an old God from the Near Ancient era, who is stronger and who is weaker, this old man really can’t say."

"Huff! Huff!"

The Great Hercules, clutching his bleeding bottom, abruptly surpasses everyone.

But then he suddenly stops, using his finger to dig out a large pit enough to accommodate his body and jumps into it.

"Cling clang!!"

A massive amount of golden light bursts from the entrance, visibly, a mountain of metal blocks the entrance.

"Good fellow, this is a specialty from Gold God Mountain—thick gold divine stone."

"Though it’s one-time use, it can block the aftershocks of a divine battle, definitely easier than us exposed outside."

The Thirty-Six Star Ladybug King, unable to hide its envy.

It and the Seven Sword Mantis Emissary, though representing Giant Kun Valley.

But they are not of the Divine Trace Lineage, not entitled to the Insect Ancestor’s bounty, facing accidents, they can only rely on themselves, and not on others.

"Not good, Miemeng Xu is dead..."

"There are thieves invading our clan’s treasury, coincidentally when the Supreme cannot leave, it must have been premeditated..."
