Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

Chapter 4164 The Black Lamp

There were over a thousand savage races in the Burial Land yet none of them knew what had just happened.

These barbaric races feared nothing yet that sudden burst of terrifying will had them trembling in their boots.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

With the arrival of thunder was a booming voice that spread across the land.

Three streaks of white lightning appeared at the edge of the world and all creatures that were unfortunate enough to have been struck died instantly before they could even scream.

At the same time, the Snake Spirit King's voice spoke to the world.

"Do you want strength?" he asked. His voice was encompassing and made even the strongest hearts tremble.

Though these savage races were currently in panic, the sheer worship and devotion in their eyes were unmistakable. This black snake's power was truly something divine.

'I also want that type of power....'

'We can control everything with such level of power!'

'This invincible force can make me strong!'

The Snake Spirit King's offer filled everyone with excitement and fighting spirit.

"I want strength! I want power!"

"Master! Grant upon us such power!"

"I will pursue this path towards greatness no matter the cost..."

Their enthusiastic response did not surprise the Snake Spirit King. In fact, he expected it.

This world was devoid of morality and order and these savage races only knew slaughter. They would do anything if it meant more power.

"Crack!"

From the place where the three streaks of white lightning intersected formed a snake-shaped totem. It was so big and dazzling that it could be seen from across the entire Burial Land.

"Go towards the totem!" the Snake Spirit King ordered.

"It is there that you will obtain unprecedented power!"

As the totem was put in place, the entire Burial Land began to change shape.

A crack split open on each of the three sides of the Burial Land. The land began to morph into something that resembled a three-mouthed monster.

With its job done with, the Snake Spirit King's consciousness returned to the Jade Pure Realm. "The Burial Land is ready," he said to the black light.

"Let us commence with our plan then," the black light replied. "Go and ask the Blood Snake Girl to light up the black lamp."

The Snake Spirit King's eyes flashed coldly at the mention of her name. "Blood Snake Girl..."

However, he did as he was asked.

A few seconds had just passed when a woman, inlaid on the wall at the side of the chaos, suddenly opened her eyes - she was the Blood Snake Girl!

Her eyes shone like two beautiful crescent moons. "Father? Is that you?"

"Activate the Evil Bead," the Snake Spirit King ordered harshly.

The Blood Snake Girl tilted her head. "Are you still so stubborn?"

The Snake Spirit King couldn't help but let out a series of laughter. "You know that the only reason I still let you live is to make you see how this all goes down. You will witness who was actually right in the end."

There was no need to argue and the Blood Snake Girl decided to just shut her mouth.

She had tried to resist more than a thousand chaotic eras ago and ended up imprisoned for so long.

At this moment, she was somewhat expectant to see her father sport a desperate, helpless expression when he failed in the end.

"Alright. I'll activate the Evil Bead."

"Buzz..."

Soon enough, the aforementioned Evil Bead above her head began to spin and traces of blood light began to gather within.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...

An unprecedented amount of energy soon surrounded the Evil Bead. The energy fluctuated like powerful waves across the infinite sea, pushing away the chaotic energy around.

One thousand divine megatons of force...

Ten thousand divine megatons of force...

A million divine megatons of force...

Ten million divine megatons of force...

As time passed, the power hidden within the Evil Bead increased exponentially.

Among all the ten Holy Items on the Snake Spirit Sect's holy pillar, it was only the Evil Dead that had the ability to absorb unlimited energy from the pillar.

The terrifying energy was compressed into this small bead. If this energy exploded, even the Source World would be unable to withstand it. It was enough to create a huge hole in the Source World and destroy hundreds of large provinces!

"Go ahead and light it up..." The Blood Snake Girl sneered.

"Pop!"

With a sharp popping sound, the Evil Bead suddenly released a ray of blood light that flew towards the boundless chaos.

The terrifying energy absorbed by the bead was compressed into that single ray of blood light, which shot upward at an incredible speed.

Whoosh!

At that moment, the Pear Hill continued to fly in the chaos at high speed.

To everyone's surprise, the ray of blood light, as thin as a finger yet faster than anything they'd ever seen, suddenly swept past just thirty thousand miles away from them.

Had Pear Hill been a little bit slower, it would've gotten penetrated by that ray of blood light.

Despite it being thirty thousand miles away, the massive energy it contained alerted the powerful warriors in the Pear Hill.

The Snake Goddess, Fuxi, Zen, and the three Chaos Ancient Gods looked east at the exact same time they felt an irresistible force suddenly rush past them.

"What was that?"

"How could there be such great power in the chaos?"

"It was too fast. I couldn't see it."

That sudden burst of power came and went so suddenly that there wasn't even any time to process or guess what it had been.

A few seconds later, the blood light reached the top of the chaos and hit its thick dome.

"Crack!"

With its devastating power, the ray of blood light smashed the dome and revealed a small lamp.

It was a small black oil lamp.

This lamp had a basic shape and looked positively ancient. Despite the simplicity of its form, however, various complex patterns were engraved on its four, wooden pedestals. Inside the lamp was a glazed cup and a thin wick.

If not for this lamp, the ray of blood light would've been able to pierce straight through the dome. This small, ancient relic was able to withstand such a heavy blow.

Withstand, however, wasn't the right word. In truth, the lamp had absorbed all that power.

"Buzz..."

The blood-red light circled around the oil lamp and gathered at its wick.

"Phew!"

From the darkness, a tiny, blood-red flame came alive.

If the powerful warriors of the Four Spirits Sect saw what just happened, they would've been immobilized by fear.

Back then, the Snake Spirit Sect lit up this very lamp and destroyed everything in the main world.

In order to survive, the Human and Bird Spirit Sects were forced to escape and seek refuge in the chaos. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Now, this harbinger of destruction, was once again alive.

Countless crystals formed from within the oil lamp and began to spread out onto the chaos. These crystals contained the mysterious power of space.

The chaos clouds grew restless when they met with these crystals.

They usually floated quietly within the chaos and remained unchanging, unless they were absorbed by other things.

Yet now, the presence of these crystals stirred something within these clouds as they began to rapidly absorb the chaotic energy.

These chaos clouds that stretched out for trillions of miles were split into tens of thousands of pieces and began to take numerous shapes.

By some weird power, the crystals morphed the chaos clouds into the many heads of strange beasts.

These strange beasts had a bit of similarity to each other and the expressions they sported looked crazy.

As the crystals continued to spread further into the chaos, the chaos clouds continued to transform and morph into these strange beast heads.

They floated quietly in the chaos with their eyes closed.
