Five Frozen Centuries-Chapter 345 - Mythical

Chapter 345: Mythical

When Kalan saw the egg, he blurted out, “It’s the egg of the giant snake!”

His eyes were filled with greed, but he did not dare attack. He still had the ability to restrain himself. He did not dare be arrogant in front of Wei Huo. It would be good enough if he could escape unscathed today.

Kalan understood the situation very well. At that moment, he did not do anything. It was best to reduce his presence as much as possible. He regretted speaking just now.

Wei Huo looked at the snake egg and felt the abundant aura of life in it. Then, he pointed his finger and the Essence Energy in the world gathered. He had handed all his equipment to Lu Qiqi. Otherwise, he could have used the clay jar that absorbed Essence Energy. However, it did not matter. Wei Huo could absorb the Heaven Earth Essence Energy now.

Endless Heaven Earth Essence Energy gathered and surged into the egg. Symbols kept appearing on the eggshell, and soon, weak laws wrapped around the egg.

Little Xuanyue’s face turned red. The egg was too heavy for her to lift it.

Wei Huo waved his hand and the egg flew toward him. He was no longer a player, so the system did not help him detect the egg’s attributes. However, even without the system’s inspection, Wei Huo could understand that the egg was extraordinary.

It was difficult for Mythical creatures to die. They could be reborn indefinitely, but they needed time.

Then, Wei Huo looked at Chen Xuanyue. He saw the Death Curse hidden in Chen Xuanyue’s soul at first glance. It was an extremely terrifying Death Curse. Like all Rules, it had the ability to grow on its own.

Rule Power could exist forever, and so could the Death Curse. Besides, the Death Curse would be passed down to the next generation. However, the Death Curse was ultimately just a Rule curse. It was nothing in front of a true Rule-level expert.

Both the Death Rule and the Devouring Rule could remove the Death Curse. Wei Huo pointed his finger and the Death Curse in Chen Xuanyue’s soul turned into the most basic aura of death and flowed out of Chen Xuanyue’s soul.

Chen Xuanyue suddenly felt the pressure on her soul disappear. She understood that Wei Huo had removed the Death Curse that had plagued her race for years.

She bowed before Wei Huo to express her gratitude. Then, she said, “My Death Curse has been removed. I should have 7,000 years of lifespan now. According to the agreement, I will be your subordinate for the next 3,500 years. I will work for you.”

Wei Huo nodded and looked at Kalan. “How long has it been?”

Kalan could only say respectfully, “13,000 years.”

Wei Huo said, “Really? Has it been so long?”

13,000 years was considered a long time even for Legendary creatures. However, it was not considered a long time for Mythical creatures. It was nothing to the planet under their feet, and it was an extremely short time for the sun, the Milky Way, and the universe.

Wei Huo extended his hand and an ordinary green staff appeared in it. However, the staff emitted a unique aura.

The moment he saw the staff, Kalan understood that it was the Phantom Staff. However, he did not dare speak. They had stolen the Phantom Staff from another civilization. He had no right to speak at the moment.

Besides, he did not have the guts to ask a Mythical creature for a Divine Weapon. He had to try his best not to give Wei Huo an excuse to kill him. Although Wei Huo had many excuses to kill him, such as the fact that he had wanted to destroy Wei Huo’s body previously, no more excuses could be added.

Kalan had already seen many people die because they had been ignorant and fearless. He would not make such a low-level mistake.

However, what happened next rendered him unable to hold back his words. He saw Wei Huo wave his hand, and an extremely incomplete snake corpse rose from the volcano.

It was a snake corpse that emitted the Devouring Rule. Even though the giant snake had been dead for many years, its corpse still could not be violated by others. If anyone below the Mythical stage rashly approached it, they would definitely be devoured by the Devouring Rule.

Rules were not like domains. After a Domain Realm expert died, their domain would disappear. However, Rules would not. Rules would grow on their own. This was why the giant snake had given Wei Huo an armor made of the Devouring Rule. The Devouring Rule could exist and grow indefinitely.

As long as Wei Huo had the Rule Armor, he would be akin to a half-step Rule-level existence. Unfortunately, Wei Huo had given up on the armor. He wanted to walk his own path.

Now, he had walked out. He had become a Mythical creature with his own Rules.

Wei Huo’s Rule of Death gradually extended toward the giant snake’s corpse. Soon, the Rule of Death and the Devouring Rule reacted like hot oil touching water.

Sounds of explosions kept coming from the surroundings. The volcano’s mouth was filled with holes due to the collision of the two nomological forces.

Swoosh!

A Rule of Death was sent flying hundreds of thousands of meters away and cut open a mountain. The cut was extremely smooth, making one feel amazed.

Perhaps countless years later, a new civilization would be born on Earth. That civilization might be confused about the mountain with the smooth cut. It might guess that Earth had once had a brilliant civilization or that aliens had visited Earth and a young brat had used a laser weapon to cut open the mountain.

However, they would not expect that this was a crack created by the Rule of Death. If they studied it carefully, they might be able to comprehend a trace of the Rule of Death.

Upon seeing Wei Huo lift the snake’s corpse, Kalan smiled bitterly. He knew that there was no point in the Skyfall Race waiting there for over 10,000 years. Perhaps they should have left the planet back then.

Wei Huo’s Rule of Death kept sweeping up the Devouring Rule around the snake’s corpse. The Devouring Rule was no match for Wei Huo’s Rule of Death. After all, it was rootless, while Wei Huo was a newly-advanced Rule-rank expert.

Wei Huo already knew why the Skyfall Race had used the corpse of a snake to build a battleship. It was because Mythical corpses contained all sorts of unbelievable wonders. Mythical bodies separated themselves from matter and gradually turned into spirits. This body could ignore all physical attacks. At the same time, it could ignore the erosion of time and the tearing force produced by the shattering space, pass through the four-dimensional barrier, and avoid getting injured. It could also block spiritual attacks.

It could be said that this was the best ship-building material in the world. Such a material could not be found in the world because Mythical corpses were half-material and half-spiritual. Pure spirits could not be used to build things. Pure materials did not have various magical effects like spirits. Only Mythical corpses could be used to build things that had various magical effects.

That was why Mythical corpses were so precious.

Wei Huo put away the Phantom Staff and the giant snake’s corpse. Although Kalan was reluctant, there was nothing he could do.

At that moment, a roar came from the sky. Then, a gigantic beast descended from the sky.

Kalan said in shock, “Is that… a Leviathan?”
