Chapter 722 - Demigod
A curse that could plague the imperial capital would require an immense amount of Mana to sustain.
Hence, places with high Mana density had a higher likelihood of holding the curse’s source.
Shi Feng entered the Thunder Beast Courtyard. At this point, the once splendid courtyard had become a dilapidated ruin. Meanwhile, a fivefold magic array enveloped something in the courtyard’s center.
Shi Feng could faintly see a bottomless pit in the center of the courtyard.
This pit released a continuous stream of Mana. However, unlike the Mana Shi Feng usually saw, this felt violent and cold. Just looking at sent chills down his back. Shi Feng could not imagine what would happen if someone stayed near this Mana for too long…
If not for the fivefold magic array before him suppressing the Mana, Shi Feng did not doubt for a second that this Mana would surge and flood the imperial capital in the blink of an eye.
Could Emperor Kaiser have attempted to open the Dark Abyss? Shi Feng suddenly recalled the Dark Abyss when he felt this cold, violent Mana.
The Dark Abyss had a vile environment, yet its Mana density was astounding. With the combination of these two aspects, it birthed many horrifying monsters. There were some monsters that even Gods feared. Hence, the Gods had sealed the Dark Abyss.
These frightening monsters wanted to claim God’s Domain as their own. Hence, the war between the human race and the Dark Abyss had never ceased.
Rumors had it that Emperor Kaiser had reached the pinnacle of Tier 5 and was only a thread away from becoming a Tier 6 God.
Shi Feng could empathize with Emperor Kaiser. Although there was only a difference of one Tier between Tier 5 and Tier 6, the power gap was like the difference between heaven and earth. One side was doomed to be devoured by the river of time, while the other was free of any bindings.
To an emperor, nothing was more tempting than eternal life.
Hence, there was nothing surprising about Emperor Kaiser trying to open a path to the Dark Abyss in search of a breakthrough.
As Shi Feng approached the bottomless abyss and was about to take a closer look at it, a chilling aura bound him, preventing him from moving.
“Who are you? Why have you come here?”
A cold voice dripping with power echoed from the bottomless pit. The voice was void of any emotion.
“I am an adventurer. A Great Mage called Carrian Walker sent me here to lift the curse on the imperial capital, saving the suffering people within the city,” Shi Feng said slowly and truthfully, showing no resistance towards the person questioning him.
“Carrian Walker?” the voice said with a hint of surprise. “I never imagined that little fellow would escape the capital with his life. He really is impressive.
“If I had not been swayed by my own feelings and my wish to improve myself, such a terrible disaster would never have occurred.”
“Could you be the Thunder Emperor Kaiser?” Shi Feng could not help his shock when he heard the disembodied words.
“Thunder Emperor Kaiser… I wonder how many years it has been since I last heard that name? That’s right; I am Kaiser.” However, Kaiser sighed and said, “It is unfortunate, but you have wasted your time by coming here. It is impossible to lift the curse on the city. You are simply too weak right now, and you cannot help me seal this abyss.”
