Chapter 1040 - Fate Tablets (1/2)
There were still a hundred years before the Greater Demon Overlord would struggle free of his seal. At that time, that broken space-time would reverse-devour the Raging Flame Plane, and who would be able to resist the power of the Greater Raging Flame Overlord then?
What would be the point of having conquered the Raging Flame Plane then?
After a hundred years, the Greater Demon Overlord would descend, and everything here would be destroyed. It made no difference if the rulers of the plane were humans or Beastmen.
All non-demonic lifeforms would be the targets of the Greater Demon Overlord’s destruction.
After remaining silent for a long time, Morgan’s eyes focused on the statue of that Beast God.
“That statue can give people blessings. That old Beastman didn’t seem to know that humans would enter the Raging Flame Plane in the future… Maybe whoever came would get a blessing?
“Let me test it, maybe that’ll help me reach the Heaven Rank in one go…”
Morgan cautiously touched the huge statue of the Beast God, but it didn’t react. He took two steps back and then touched the stone greatsword, but to no avail.
Morgan suddenly thought of something. He pierced his finger and let his blood drip onto that greatsword. Suddenly, the entire statue started blossoming with glaring radiance as a mighty aura burst out. The pure aura impacted Morgan.
Morgan instantly turned pale and rapidly withdrew in alarm. He cast Mana Shield, Elemental Shield, Runic Shield, and even used a defensive Magic Tool in order to resist the sudden impact.
But the Magic Tool was instantly torn apart. It looked as if it had undergone countless years of decay as it turned into a pile of ashes.
That mighty aura was like the charge of a bull, tearing open Morgan’s shields. His three shields easily popped like three soap bubbles.
A loud bang echoed. It was as if a giant hand had slapped Morgan and sent him flying. He was still in midair when his bones let out sickening cracking sounds that made everyone feel uncomfortable.
After flying over a hundred meters through the air, Morgan fell to the ground and continued rolling for a bit. His magic robe was bloody and in tatters. Who knew how many bones were broken? He was opening his mouth to continuously puke blood.
That sudden event stunned everyone. Cold sweat trickled down their backs as they looked at the sculpture of the Beast God in alarm.
Morgan had been seriously injured just from its aura. If he hadn’t used that Magic Tool to absorb a part of the damage, he would have already died.
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds as if they had encountered a Greater Undead Overlord. They tacitly chose to withdraw, wanting to stay away from that statue.
Morgan’s painful screams echoed and roused Arnaud from his shock. He looked at Morgan’s injuries and poured three Health Potions into his mouth before making him drink a potion specially used to mend bones. Only then did Morgan’s screams come to a halt.
After no less than half an hour, the dozen broken bones were mended and he could walk without issues. But he would be unable to fight. He would have to drink potions for three days before he could recover completely.
Dedale solemnly looked at the Beast God’s statue.
“This is quite troublesome. That statue is actually that powerful. The person that left this statue behind is definitely an extremely formidable Peak Heaven Rank powerhouse.
“Morgan is a 9th Rank Archmage, but he was seriously injured by the statue’s aura. The blessing of the Beast God to the Beastmen would definitely be extremely formidable.
“That statue should be recognizing the bloodline of the Beast God and completely excluding other races. With the wisdom of that old Beastman, how could he not put restrictions on that thing? Sure enough, it was the case…”
Apart from the crystal ball, there was only the statue of the Beast God. They didn’t find anything valuable.
The statue of the Beast God made everyone have a feeling of urgency. After discussing, they decided to hurry up and leave the temple to go hunt.
They left the temple, and sure enough, a platform had appeared at the entrance. It was a simple and crude stone platform in the center of that three-part array. A ray of light was shining on top of it. According to the guidance, this thing was used to host the Heaven Rank mana crystals. But they had no mana crystals because they had used their mana crystals on the entrance to enter the temple.
With that stone platform, the mana crystals could easily be converted into things. They couldn’t wait; they had to rapidly increase their own strength because the Raging Flame Beastmen’s threat had gotten worse.
Everyone separated once again, and every force started hunting on their own. Lin Yun led his own group away from the temple’s range.
After walking for over a day, they met up with the mage army that hadn’t entered the temple. Before entering the temple, Lin Yun decisively had the mage army leave the area.
