Chapter 388 Goblin Outer Gods vs. Shafa's Mystic Star Spirits? Unprecedented!

Chapter 388 Goblin Outer Gods vs. Shafa's Mystic Star Spirits? Unprecedented!

Xia Fa hadn't expected that he would meet an old friend, or rather, an old rival, on the first level of this inverted pyramid.

The man opposite was tall and slender, dressed in a white suit, his blond hair neatly combed, a single-linked spectacle perched on his right eye, and his expression rather stern—it was none other than—

In the Super Fighting Grand Prix for the Golden Beacon Scroll, his first opponent was Kazimierz!

Kazimierz was originally a good friend of Tefal, but after losing to him in the Super Fighting Grand Prix, he gradually faded from everyone's sight.

According to Tefaro, it seems that he was spurred by his shame and went to cultivate desperately in the Earthly God Kingdom of the [Silver Universe].

Now, Xia Fa could truly sense that Kazimir, the man opposite him, was already an extraordinary monarch!

Just over half a month ago, He was only an angel-level overlord. I have to say, He has grown really fast.

Of course, just half a month ago he was only an Eagle-level transcendent, but now he's almost an Outer God, only one Overlord-level secret contract away from becoming one.

"I never expected to run into you here, Xia Fa."

Kazimir's voice was filled with emotion as he continued, "In the last battle, I didn't even realize you were a future Mystic Emperor until the very end. My defeat was not unjust. But this time, I am already a transcendent monarch. No matter what, I will not lose to you again!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa immediately realized something and asked with considerable surprise, "You didn't just come out of seclusion in Lord [Silver Universe]'s earthly divine kingdom, did you?"

Kazimir asked in surprise, "How did you know? Actually, I was planning to calm myself down a bit more, since I just broke through to the Transcendent Monarch level a few days ago. But this morning, I received intelligence from the Solar Prominence Nebula Legion that a Soul Origin Crystal had been born, so I rushed over here."

As he spoke, he sighed, "I truly never expected to meet you, Xia Fa. It seems we are destined rivals."

Seeing that his guess had come true, Xia Fa couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.

Because Casimir has been in seclusion until now, he certainly doesn't know that he has become the Holy Spirit of Destiny.

He was about to say a few words of advice to Kazimir when, just then, the passionate voice of the physical "interpreter" rang out once again.

"Are all the contestants ready?"

"Therefore, I hereby declare the first All-Spirit Battle Tournament, Preliminary Rounds, open!" "Begin!"

With a hum, an invisible force field spread out, instantly covering every part of the first level of the inverted pyramid.

All the contestants were forced to stay in their seats, and they could all see the large countdown on the battle stage not far in front of them.

Above the countdown was a spotlight, and the countdown was projected by the spotlight, undoubtedly a manifestation of the rules of the entity "Commentator".

And the countdown is ticking away rapidly.

3!

2!

1!

Just before the countdown ended, Xia Fa had a sudden thought. In his spiritual intuition, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" slowly opened his eyes and flashed onto the battle stage.

He was still wearing that purplish-black armor, his hands resting on his sword, looking as majestic as a general, or as a king who rules over all things.

Immediately following, a buzzing sound rang out, and a black beetle appeared opposite the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul".

Compared to when I last saw it at the Super Fighting Grand Prix, this Protoss named "World Devourer" is significantly larger. Its originally plain, matte carapace is now covered with mysterious patterns, making it look like it has reached adulthood.

Not to mention that now that he has signed with the Celestial Mage, Xia Fa can recognize what kind of Celestial it is at a glance. In fact, after fighting with Kazimierz, he had specifically looked up information about it.

The Devourer Worm, compared to Nidhogg Pope's "Great Red Moon," is far less rare and has less potential for growth, but it is much more powerful than ordinary Protoss.

When it fought Kazimir last time, this Devouring Worm was still a minor and only had the rank of Angel. Now, along with Kazimir, who has become a transcendent monarch, it has grown to the rank of Overlord.

Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If Kazimir's opponent had been someone else instead of himself, then under normal circumstances, given the comparison of their growth rates, Kazimir, who had just become a transcendent monarch, along with the Devouring Worm of the Overlord rank, would indeed have been able to avenge his previous defeat and defeat his opponent.

Unfortunately, He encountered Himself.

This time, there was no need for the commentator to announce hope Yao again, because the first round of the preliminary rounds had officially begun. With a thought, Xia Fa controlled the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul".

The Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" is a possessing spirit, possessing only instincts and no consciousness. Therefore, unless threatened with death, he will not take action unless possessed.

Fortunately, after I made a contract with it, I could control it directly with my mind.

The Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" pulled the heavy sword, which was as tall as a man, upwards with both hands, just as he was about to make his move.

Just then, a few buzzing sounds were heard, and the Devouring Insect opened its carapace, flapped its wings, and disappeared directly from the battle stage!

No, it didn't disappear; rather, it displayed unparalleled speed!

In Kazimir's eyes, since the battle had already begun and they were destined rivals, and since they were fighting with their respective contracted "spirits", he naturally did not hold back and used his killing move right away!

Suddenly, the Devouring Worm appeared behind the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" in a bizarre manner, its mouthparts open as if it wanted to devour the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paoer" and the surrounding void together!

This move was forged through countless hours of practice and collaboration between Kazimierz and his Protoss. In that instant, he channeled almost 90% of his extraordinary power, and with this single strike, almost no Protoss of the same rank could withstand it!

"Xia Fa, I'm sorry, but no matter what, I must win this time—"

As the Devouring Worm's expanded, fang-filled maw was about to bite the humanoid spirit dressed in purplish-black armor resembling a priest, Kazimir silently recited a phrase in his mind, a more determined look flashing in his eyes.

Click!

But the next moment, He was dumbfounded.

Because, the loud "crack" was not accompanied by the humanoid spirit, which was as majestic as a priest, being bitten in two, but rather—the Devouring Worm's incredibly sturdy mouthparts, which could even devour the void, broke off!

Indeed, the moment it bit into the humanoid spirit's purplish-black armor, it was like an egg hitting a rock; its mandibles shattered!

The Devouring Insect let out a mournful cry and was flung away. But it seemed unwilling to give up. As it flew backward, its carapace suddenly unfolded, and its translucent wings immediately stopped its backward flight.

Immediately afterwards, the mysterious patterns on its carapace suddenly lit up, and black vine-like patterns spread through the air, reaching towards the Ironblood Conqueror "Paul".

Since the World Eater is a Protoss with its own consciousness, it changed its tactics in that instant of confrontation without Kazimir issuing any further instructions.

Since this humanoid spirit's armor has such high defensive capabilities, it directly uses its extraordinary talent as a Star Spirit like the Devouring Worm to annihilate the void around the humanoid spirit!

However, at that very moment, the Ironblood Conqueror "Paoer" seemed to sense something, turned around, glanced at the Devouring Worm, and a faint red light shone from inside its mask.

This glance appeared perfectly calm, purely instinctive, because it had just been bitten by the Devouring Insect, much like someone who had been bitten by a mosquito turning their head to look at the mosquito.

But with just that one glance, the Devouring Worm suddenly froze.

The next moment, the once ferocious Devouring Worm suddenly prostrated itself on the ground, not only withdrawing all its extraordinary talents, but also emitting mournful cries, its massive body trembling uncontrollably.

It conveyed a powerful message, a message with only one meaning: to beg for mercy at all costs!

"this----"

Kazimir was stunned by what he saw, completely bewildered by what had happened.

You must know, His Devouring Worm is a Protoss! The highest-ranking Protoss among all spirits!

How could a Protoss possibly adopt such a submissive and groveling posture towards this humanoid spirit?

If Xia Fa were a god or an external god, and the spirit he contracted with was also a god or an external god, that would be understandable. However, it has only been half a month since we last met. Xia Fa was not even a ruler before, so how could he have become a god now?

Suddenly, the humanoid spirit, clad in purplish-black armor and exuding an imposing and domineering aura like a priest, withdrew its gaze, seemingly too lazy to bother with the Devouring Worm any longer.

As if granted a pardon, the Devouring Worm suddenly leaped forward, transforming into a streak of black light that instantly entered Kazimierz's spiritual intuition.

Even when it hid in its owner's spiritual intuition, it still trembled with fear, as if it had just walked on the brink of death.

Above the arena, the spotlight immediately focused on Xia Fa, and countless confetti and fireworks erupted around him. Then, a line of words appeared above his head.

"The First All-Spirit Battle Tournament, First Round, Preliminary Round, Battle Stage 18: Contestant Xia Fa emerges victorious!"

Seeing that the result was in, even if Kazimir was still puzzled, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and accept it.

Since their match on the platform had ended and both were free to move around, Kazimir flashed and flew towards Shafa.

At this moment, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" still stood on the battle platform. Since Xia Fa did not control it with his mind, it stood there with its sword in hand, majestic and awe-inspiring, just like a god.

As soon as Kazimir flew over, he couldn't wait to ask, "Shafa, what's the origin of this humanoid spirit? It actually scared my Devouring Worm so much, I feel like it was scared out of its wits."

Xia Fa smiled and said, "I'll give you a chance. Try to identify it yourself. Of course, there's no reward if you do."

Since the two had spent some time together on the pirate ship bound for the City of Ten Thousand Stars after the Super Fighting Grand Prix, they were quite familiar with each other, so Xia Fa decided to tease Xiu.

Upon hearing this, Kazimir glanced at the iron-blooded conqueror "Paul" who was leaning on his sword and standing motionless, and began to examine him closely with great curiosity.

Suddenly, he shuddered, his voice filled with disbelief: "Wait, could this be a possessing spirit?"

Xia Fa smiled and said, "Smart."

Kazimir was even more astonished: "Shafa, where did you find this kind of possessing spirit? It's very rare, wait, no—"

He was only halfway through his sentence when, as if realizing something, his pupils suddenly dilated, and he looked at Xia Fa with utter disbelief, his voice changing: "You, you've become a god? This—how is this possible?! How did you do it?"

This time it was Xia Fa who was surprised: "How did you figure it out so quickly?"

For some reason, his aura was always obscure and chaotic, meaning that under normal circumstances, Kazimierz should not be able to judge his rank by his aura.

Seeing that Shafa did not deny it, Kazimir let out a long sigh of relief: "I guessed right after all. The reason is actually very simple. Although the benefits that a possessing spirit brings to its master are much higher than those of a normal star spirit when it is possessed, it is not particularly strong in a one-on-one battle. In this case, the fact that your possessing spirit can still scare my Devouring Worm into immobility means that the only possibility is—"

He looked into Xiafa's eyes and continued, "You are already a follower of God, and the possessing spirit you have subdued is also a follower of God."

Actually, the Iron-Blooded Conqueror "Paul" is an Outer God, and an Outer God who fell from the Heavenly Venerable—Xia Fa thought to himself with a smile before replying, "I see, that makes sense."

Kazimir sighed deeply: "Shafa, although I don't know how you became a god in such a short time, I have to admit that I was overthinking things. I thought I could win back against you."

Xia Fa laughed and said, "Actually, I was just lucky. By the way, since we're just killing time anyway, why don't we go watch other people's battles between spirits?"

As a top genius in the Earthly God Kingdom of the Silver Universe, Kazimir naturally knew not to ask too many questions. Seeing this, he did not press Xia Fa on how he became a god in just over half a month, but instead chose to accept it.

A rare smile appeared on his usually stern face: "Okay."

Only then did Xia Fa have time to carefully examine the interior of the first level of the inverted pyramid. He saw that the four sides were made of square stone bricks, and the walls were engraved with countless patterns of the spirits of the astral realm, including all kinds of spirits.

Moreover, they are all incredibly lifelike and vivid.

Thus, Xia Fa further confirmed that the inverted pyramid was indeed built by that celestial being, and not by the head of the Prometheus family more than 10,000 years ago.

At the time, the patriarch was only focused on hiding the secret treasure and keeping that god-level secret safe. He definitely didn't have the time or inclination to create these patterns of the spirits of the Star Spirit Realm.

As for the first level of this inverted pyramid itself, it was quite unremarkable, consisting of nothing more than a battle platform and a floor paved with stone bricks.

But now, the flowing light and fluctuations emanating from each battle stage are truly dazzling.

The physical "commentator" was randomly selected on a battle stage and was giving a passionate commentary.

"Wow! As expected of a Celestial Spirit of Outer God rank, if these battle platforms hadn't been blessed by the power of the Celestial Venerable rank, they would probably have been destroyed long ago."

"What a beautiful attack! That 10 Trillion Volt attack was absolutely devastating! Thank goodness the Star Pulse Iron Dragon could withstand it!"

"The Star Pulse Iron Dragon has begun its counterattack! Is that a Star-Piercing Ray? Will the Flame Lark be able to escape its attack range?"

"What a pity, Flame Lark has fallen."

"Therefore, I declare [Dream Fairy] the victor of the third battle!"

Since the commentator was explaining the match, Shafa and Kazimierz chose to watch.

On the other hand, due to the rules set by the commentators, even though Kazimierz was only a transcendental monarch who had signed nine secret contracts, he was still able to watch the battles of the Outer Gods.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even if He only caught a glimpse of it by accident, He would probably have already lost control on the spot.

"So this is the form in which the Star Pulse Iron Dragon and the Flame Lark have grown to the Outer God level? It's truly rare—"

Kazimir remarked, "Putting everything else aside, this trip here has truly broadened my horizons and will be of immense help to my future development of the core secret code of 'Celestial Mage'."

Xia Fa smiled slightly: "If it's helpful, that's good. Let's go take a look over there."

Next, Shafa and Kazimierz watched more than a dozen battles between spirits, most of which were between gods, with only three between outer gods.

Of course, there are also those who accidentally get matched with an Outer God, and that's when they get crushed.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it. Among the many beings who came to compete for the Prometheus family's secret treasure, the number of Outer Gods was not exactly two to one. As a result, there were always some unlucky Outer Gods who would meet in the first round of selection.

In fact, Kazimir was in a similar situation. He just happened to encounter Shafa. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he should have been dealing with a transcendent monarch who was similar to Him.

Soon, the first round of auditions came to an end. Including the contestant who received a bye and two contestants whose Protoss spirits perished and could no longer participate, a total of fifty-two contestants successfully advanced to the next round.

The eliminated contestants weren't kicked out of the inverted pyramid; instead, each of them was placed under a spotlight, seemingly turning them into spectators who could only watch.

With a loud rumble, the first layer of the inverted pyramid split in the middle, revealing the second layer.

Xia Fa originally thought that this competition for the Prometheus family's secret treasure would be a series of battles until the final champion emerged victorious.

But to my surprise, there was no battle arena at all on the second floor!

On the second floor, there was a huge goblin, its entire body bound by chains and firmly tied to the left wall.

As the advancing and eliminated contestants flew into the second level, the commentators also arrived at the second level.

Instead of announcing the rules immediately, he smiled and said, "Everyone, take a few minutes to rest and study this goblin. I will announce the rules for the second round in five minutes!"

"Actually, even without him saying it, all the contestants, including Xia Fa, flew over curiously and began to study the giant goblin."

This goblin was a thousand meters tall, a giant among goblins. Its skin was grayish-white, its head was huge, and its limbs were thin, making it look quite deformed.

It was sleeping, but it seemed to sense the approach of the gods and outer gods, and suddenly woke up.

Suddenly, its eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty red light, and with a flick of its slender arms, it prepared to grab some of the nearby followers.

But the ancient runes on the chains binding it suddenly lit up, and a wisp of blue smoke rose from where the chains touched its skin, accompanied by the smell of burning feathers. The goblin shuddered in pain, its arms unable to move.

But it refused to give up, roaring fiercely as if everyone here would die once it escaped.

"Can you recognize what this thing is?"

Shaphat stroked his chin and asked Kazimir a question.

This obviously cannot be a real goblin. Real goblins, as beings between humanoid and non-humanoid supernatural beings, like fish-men, are at the bottom of the supernatural species and can only live deep in the mountains and forests.

Because they are vicious and like to harm humans, but they are no match for even a superhuman at the fungal level, the goblins near the cities have long been wiped out. The remaining ones can only hide in the mountains and forests to barely survive.

The goblin in front of us, which is a thousand meters long, gives the impression that even an ordinary Outer God would be no match for it!

A spotlight shone above Casimir's head, signifying his elimination, but this didn't hinder his freedom of movement. Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes as he said, "Could it be—"

Xia Fa immediately exclaimed, "What?"

Casimir shook his head: "I don't know either; it's beyond the scope of my occult knowledge."

Xiafa: ————

Then why did you seem to have a clue just now?

Just then, the commentator's voice rang out.

"Alright, it's almost time."

"I'm sure some of you who are knowledgeable have already recognized what this is."

"That's right, this is an evil spirit formed from the vengeful souls of countless dead goblins, an evil spirit at the peak of the Outer God level!"

"Thousands of years ago, it was captured by a celestial being and imprisoned here."

"The reason we didn't kill it is because it can continuously gather the vengeful spirits of goblins that are dying in the real world."

"Although it will become stronger as a result, as long as it doesn't become a Quasi-Celestial Venerable, any Celestial Venerable can easily deal with it."

"And now, after such a long period of time, it is only a little bit away from becoming a quasi-celestial level evil spirit."

"If it were to become a quasi-celestial level evil spirit, and especially if it were to escape and enter the real world, the lives of beings in hundreds of star systems would be annihilated!"

"Therefore, our goal in this round is to do everything in our power to eliminate this goblin spirit!"

"Each participant, step forward in turn and command your contracted spirit to attack this goblin evil spirit! Each person has one chance to attack!"

"If you all combined can't destroy it, then I'll step in last, so don't worry."

"And the top eight that inflict the most damage on it will advance to the third round!"
