Chapter 1431: Chapter 1431: Erase the Mark

The beams of light from Li Yao’s eyes grew stronger and stronger, then suddenly vanished.

High elves usually have green or bright blue eyes, but at this moment, Li Yao’s eyes dimmed, the pupils turned black, unfathomably deep, like a black hole, with tiny stars visible to those with keen enough vision.

However, the stars were too dim to be seen without special eyes.

Not to mention the people present, even those watching Li Yao’s eyes through a video feed seemed to lose their minds, plunging into the depth.

And the Titan tattoos on both of his hands and feet became strange patterns that blended into his skin; naturally, these were invisible to others.

But the touch of darkness was clawing out ferociously, with endless dark purple mist enveloping Li Yao, and deeper colored tendrils madly waving like demons.

The two dark touches seemed to merge with each other, turning into an extremely bizarre ancient god’s apparition behind Li Yao.

The phantom of this ancient god was so dim, as if it could shatter and vanish at any moment, but the overwhelmingly domineering and evil aura left everyone present in shock and fear.

Then, a phantom appeared from the Divine Seal in Li Yao’s hand, resembling a massive and ferocious spider.

Those with the skillful eye could discern that the spider phantom was indeed the true form of the Spider Queen Ros.

At the appearance of the spider phantom, as if it had encountered a deadly foe, it let out a Soul Scream against the phantom of the ancient god.

As if filled with fear for the ancient god’s dim apparition, it wanted to flee directly.

But countless tendrils of mist from the phantom of the ancient god entangled the spider, while Li Yao’s body emitted a strong aroma of wine and wisps of blood rose, feeding the ancient god’s phantom.

With a bang, Ros’s phantom shattered, the players seemed to hear a voice filled with anger and fear, as if crying out Prairie Fire’s name, as if wishing to bite Li Yao to death piece by piece, such overwhelming hatred made everyone’s spirit shake.

At this time, the phantom of the ancient god also disappeared, the tendrils vanished, and Li Yao was still shrouded in deep purple mist; to the players, the Legion, and the audience, Li Yao’s eyes looked like those of a demon to the extreme.

Shua…

The shattered spider phantom turned into a pure mist, devoid of any of Ros’s essence, then it directly merged into the ring, and the cracks on the ring healed, as the spider on the ring also turned dark purple.

Li Yao took a breath of relief, the Secret Blood Wine combined with the forty thousand Essences of War Soul to harness the ancient god’s power, finally dispersing Ros’s mark.

The last time he met with the big shots of the governing council, the ring in someone else’s hand was like a bulb, unusable because it was suppressed by the touch of darkness.

But even though Li Yao could use it, the object ultimately belonged to Ros and couldn’t truly belong to Li Yao.

Moreover, the touch of darkness suppressing the ring meant that one of the dark touches on Li Yao’s hands or feet would not be able to exert its true power.

And if anything occurs to the touch of darkness and it cannot suppress, even Li Yao would not dare to use the ring.

But this ring is extremely crucial; though damaged, it once was the Main God Seal, which ranks as the most important Divine Artifact besides one’s life-bound divine equipment. Needless to say, the material is of extraordinary quality, and the artifact itself is of great significance to Li Yao.

However, after an unknown cataclysmic battle, the formidable forces clashed and shattered the seal, but even in its broken state, it remains premium dark gold.

More importantly, this ring now involves the highest authority of the high elf Withered Sun Legion, forming an essential base for Li Yao himself, and he cannot afford any mishaps.

Therefore, he managed to procure the century-old Secret Blood Wine and, using special secret techniques, absorbed the Essence of War Souls to nourish the power of Dark Touch and Titan Equipment. He erased the imprints of Ross from the seal, making the equipment entirely his own, and repaired the seal in the process.

The ultimate goal is to reignite the power of the seal through the divinity transformed by the thoughts of the Withered Sun Legion and the converted Divine Guards, along with some other rare materials, and to slowly cultivate a powerful Divine Seal once again.

His own Divine Enthronement process will then be made much easier. Normally demigods would start preparing their own Seal, but not to mention himself, the materials compared to the Seal of those players who succeeded in Divine Enthronement in the previous life are vastly inferior.

Having obtained a Seal that’s eligible to be crafted only after becoming a demigod even when he’s not a Faction Leader, plus the divine nourishment from countless converted believers from the start, when Li Yao ascends to godhood, it will save him so much trouble, and it will undoubtedly be a top-tier Seal.

Of course, there’s still one step missing before the ring becomes Li Yao’s property for good. Just like the original ring, even if someone else took possession of it, Ross could take it back with a specially invoked spell, ensuring that others couldn’t use it–a true spiritual binding.

“Everything is ready except for the east wind; I seek your aid, and thank you all.”

Li Yao, indifferent to whether the others had recovered from their shock, poured another cup of wine and then sealed the wine jug. This time, he held the cup with both hands and bowed respectfully.

Li Yao’s words completely roused everyone, but the United Army was struck with terror. With one cup of wine, Li Yao snuffed out twenty thousand men, and with two cups, nearly fifty thousand, leading the United Army to almost collapse.

As the saying goes, “A spirited start is followed by a rapid decline, and thrice one is exhausted.” The morale of the United Army fluctuated wildly and is now drained. Even the Beast Legion looked at Li Yao with eyes brimming with fear, let alone sentient beings.

The faces of the four Guild Leaders darkened completely. It had come to this; either Starfire perished, or they perished. Despite the feeling of hopelessness, they refused to give up, instead becoming even more frantic.

The United Army’s command went berserk, loudly declaring: “Don’t be frightened by him. The first time, we were tricked, we were simply careless. The second time, it was their preemptive Array. But what can they possibly do to launch a third time? In the end, victory depends on the army, and right now, we still greatly outnumber Starfire. Their Tank Legion is nearly extinct; as long as we break through their formation, victory will be ours.”

The United Army finally regained a bit of morale, though it lacked the vigorous spirit from the onset of their offensive–it was a completely different concept.

“Rear Legion, cross the ravine and charge!”

Several spellcasters in the rear took out scrolls, and following a barrage of Spells, bridges made of solid ice appeared, allowing the army separated by the ravine to pour through dozens of ice bridges, rapidly reinforcing the frontline.

The vast difference in numbers between both sides still gave the United Army hope for victory, of course, this assumed that Starfire had exhausted their strangely effective tactics.

“Not without confidence, not bad.” Li Yao said, looking up at the fierce battle in the sky: “Still wanting to call for aerial support, they’re set on a fight to death. How arrogant.”

“Boss, if you have any more tricks up your sleeve, use them now. They far outnumber us.”

The Guardian Angel expressed his concerns with a hint of anxiety; they knew two techniques, and now both were used up…
