Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Myth Five Stars! Fei Yue!
On the other side, deep within the cemetery of the Ghost Race.
Nether led Gu Xing and the others to instantly teleport over, and the area was immediately shrouded in dense Netherworld Ghost Qi.
This was the resting place of generations of Ghost Race powerhouses, the air thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Ahead lies the Divine Pattern of the Ghost Race."
Nether pointed to the center of the cemetery, where a golden pattern floated, wrapped in black Ghost Qi, radiating pulses that made one’s heart race.
"If Fei Yue wants the recognition of the Divine Pattern, she must rely on her own strength to walk to the end and touch it herself."
"But the closer you get to the Divine Pattern, the stronger the pressure of Ghost Qi becomes."
He paused, then added:
"And even if you manage to touch the Divine Pattern, you may not be recognized by it."
Gu Xing looked at the path leading to the Divine Pattern. It looked ordinary, but danger prickled at his instincts.
He could sense the terrifying energy within, as if countless wailing souls echoed all around.
Soon after, Gu Xing’s gaze landed on Fei Yue.
[Ghost Race (Fei Yue)]
[Status: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Level: Commander Tier Four]
[Power: 7000]
[Constitution: 7000]
[Spirit: 7000]
[Speed: 7000]
[Skills: Void, Void Domain]
points in all Attributes.
This could barely match an average Commander Level Guardian Beast.
With these Attributes, trying to approach the Divine Pattern...
It was going to be incredibly difficult!
Fei Yue was clearly aware of this as well.
Her face was pale, and her petite frame trembled slightly from anxiety.
Everyone’s expectations weighed on her shoulders, and the burden stirred up an uncontrollable fear inside...
She was scared to disappoint them.
Gu Xing keenly noticed this.
"Fei Yue."
A warm hand gently landed on her head, softly rubbing:
"Don’t worry. I’m here. Just do your best."
Even the always cold Qing Shuang rarely spoke up:
"It’s fine if you fail."
Bathed in this warmth, Fei Yue took a deep breath, and the fear in her eyes gradually faded.
She nodded hard: "Mm! I’ll do my best!"
Under Gu Xing’s encouraging gaze, Fei Yue took her first determined step forward.
As she set foot on the path to the Divine Pattern, a heavy pressure descended, like countless hands pulling at her body.
Even worse, seductive whispers began to echo around her:
"Give up... You can’t do it..."
"Your master said it himself... It’s fine to fail..."
And this was just the beginning.
With every step closer to the Divine Pattern, the pressure multiplied, and the voices grew clearer, more piercing.
In Gu Xing’s vision, Fei Yue was being dragged by several illusory Ghost Race figures.
Every step forward brought more phantoms swarming from all directions, tightly wrapping around her limbs.
"These phantoms are the embodiment of the will of Ghost Race powerhouses throughout history—they’ll do everything to stop outsiders from approaching the Divine Pattern."
Seeing Fei Yue struggle forward, Nether couldn’t help but advise:
"Fei Yue’s Attributes are too low, her mind not mature enough. She can’t possibly earn the Divine Pattern’s recognition."
"Forcing her to continue will only leave lasting damage. Bring her back!"
But Gu Xing ignored Nether’s advice, keeping his eyes locked on Fei Yue.
After only a fifth of the way, Fei Yue had already reached her limit.
Her steps grew slower and slower.
She was on the verge of total stop!
"We can’t wait any longer!"
Gu Xing’s eyes flashed with sharp light, his pupils suddenly transforming.
His left eye became holy silver-white, while the right was dyed with a demonic blood-red!
"Sovereign Celestial Grace!"
"Soul-devouring!"
Both Talents erupted at once!
Bathed in the Power of Celestial Grace, the seductive whispers around Fei Yue instantly vanished, and all negativity in her heart melted away.
Meanwhile, blood-red energy of the Soul Devouring Talent surged into her body, and every Attribute began to soar madly...
[Ghost Race (Fei Yue)]
[Status: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Level: Commander Tier Four]
[Power: 7000→14000]
[Constitution: 7000→14000]
[Spirit: 7000→14000]
[Speed: 7000→14000]
[Skills: Void, Void Domain]
Fei Yue’s Attributes may have doubled, but Gu Xing’s brow only knit tighter.
He could sense it clearly—the closer to the Divine Pattern, the pressure surged exponentially!
Even with the boost from Soul Devouring Talent, Fei Yue’s 14000 Attribute Value still couldn’t meet the trial’s demands.
If this kept up...
"It’s still not enough!"
Gu Xing’s gaze suddenly shifted to himself, and a bold idea flashed in his mind.
[Gu Xing]
[Contract Quota: 3/5]
[Contracted Beast: Liu Li, Vera, Qing Shuang, Fei Yue]
[Level: Commander Tier Four]
[Talent: Sovereign, Soul-devouring]
[Power: 8000]
[Constitution: 8000]
[Spirit: 8000]
[Speed: 8000]
[Special State: Human Race’s Favor]
[Domain: Emperor’s Might (Enhances Beast Master’s All Attributes by 300%, suppresses all creatures), Absolute Forbidden Domain (disables all others’ domains)]
Gu Xing stared at his own Attribute panel, his gaze locking onto the "Emperor’s Might" domain.
Suppresses all creatures!
He looked to the phantoms entangling Fei Yue, and an idea naturally surfaced:
Could Emperor’s Might affect these Spirit Bodies too?
No time for doubts!
"Emperor’s Might, activate!"
Silver-white domain instantly unfolded, enveloping Fei Yue.
Stunningly, those phantom Ghost Race figures let out shrill screams as if meeting their worst enemy, and fled in all directions at once!
"This..."
Nether was completely dumbstruck where he stood.
Those phantoms, condensed from the will of Ghost Race powerhouses, not even a Totem Level powerhouse like him could dispel them, and yet a human’s domain forced them back so easily?!
What shocked him even more was Gu Xing’s dual-colored eyes...
This human actually possessed two Talents at the same time!
With Emperor’s Might protecting her, all restraints on Fei Yue vanished instantly.
She leapt lightly toward the Divine Pattern, reaching out without hesitation.
"Buzz!"
In that instant, dazzling purple Void Power swept through the entire space.
And Fei Yue’s Attributes underwent a transformation...
[Ghost Race (Fei Yue)]
[Status: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth Five Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier Four]
[Power: 7000→20000]
[Constitution: 7000→20000]
[Spirit: 7000→20000]
[Speed: 7000→20000]
[Skills: Instant Flash, Voidification, Void Cutting, Void Domain]
On fusing with the Divine Pattern, Fei Yue’s Talent soared from Myth One Star straight to Myth Five Stars.
And all her Attributes leaped massively!
Average Attributes reached 20000!
Now she was on par with the other Guardian Beasts.
But...
Because Fei Yue lacked multiplier-enhancing skills, surpassing the other Guardian Beasts in combat was still impossible!
Even so, Fei Yue’s current strength could no longer be underestimated.
[Instant Flash: Instantly moves to any spot within a kilometer, can be used up to ten times in succession]
[Voidification: Body enters Void state, immune to all attacks for three seconds]
[Void Cutting: Summon three controllable Void Blades for cutting attacks]
Instant Flash and Voidification gave Fei Yue unparalleled self-preservation!
While Void Cutting gave her offensive capability!
Overall, Fei Yue was now fully worthy of her Myth Five Stars Talent!
