Chapter 339: Chapter 324 Life Casting Grass
"Dad, I just went to town and brought you two ’Life and Flower’ plants, along with some nutritional supplements." The ordinary woman pulled out two purple medicinal flowers from her bosom, their fragrance permeating the air. These were rare ancient medicines over a thousand years old.
Not only ancient medicine, but there were also several bottles of nutritional supplements of various colors. Altogether, their value could rival that of a pinnacle Immortal Divine Soldier.
"Si Ying, don’t waste your efforts anymore, I know my own body best. The Divine Country has been broken, relying solely on these ancient medicines is impossible to recover." The aged Desolate Fire Sovereign forced a smile, comforting the ordinary woman.
The ordinary woman transformed, her simple attire disappearing, and a crystalline Jade Robe draped over her. Her dull face now radiated like a fairy.
She was the princess of the Desolate Fire Sovereign, Desolate Fire Silk Cherry.
The Desolate Fire Sovereign had seven sons, but after successive battles, only Desolate Fire Silk Cherry remained.
She was the last bloodline of the Desolate Fire Cosmic Country, and the last hope.
"Dad..." Silk Cherry’s eyes reddened, tightly grasping the skeletal hand of the Desolate Fire Sovereign, "You will get better. If these ancient medicines are not enough, I’ll find other ancient medicines. I’ve already found out that soon, there will be a grand auction at the Desolate Fire Main City’s exchange, and Divine Medicine will surely be auctioned. No matter what, I must cure your illness!"
Seeing Silk Cherry Princess’s sorrowful appearance, several Celestial God Realm individuals beside her lowered their heads in silence.
They knew well what the consequences of a broken Celestial God Realm’s Divine Country were; at worst, complete loss of cultivation, at worst, direct death. To protect the Desolate Fire lineage, the Sovereign burned the Divine Country, exhausting every effort, but ultimately couldn’t reverse the tide of battle.
The Desolate Fire Sovereign burned the Divine Country to the limit; restoration was impossible.
"Alert!" Suddenly, noticing someone approaching, several Celestial God Realm guards gripped their War Soldiers, guarding the door, eyes locked on the wooden door, ready to strike at any moment.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the wooden door was broken open. A white shadow flashed by at an extreme speed, instantly attacking the guards of several Celestial God Realm individuals.
These Celestial God Realm guards were just Ordinary Initial Celestial Gods, even less powerful than Desolate Fire Silk Cherry. Under the assault of the white figure, they were all slammed against the walls like cannonballs, causing the small space to shake violently.
"Who are you!" Desolate Fire Silk Cherry reacted immediately, her petite figure blocking the Desolate Fire Sovereign, a flaming red ribbon in her hand attacking the white figure!
"A bunch of small shrimps." A contemptuous voice came, as the white figure, after blasting away the Celestial God Realm guards, stretched out its hand and grabbed the red ribbon effortlessly, undamaged.
Desolate Fire Silk Cherry was shocked; this person is strong!
"Stay quiet for me." The Celestial God Realm guards wanted to rush forward at this time, but they were struck again by the white figure. It’s unclear how he did it, but these Celestial God Realm guards became extremely weak, suffering severe injuries, all collapsing and unable to move.
"It’s the Law of Darkness!" The red ribbon shattered, turning into flames and reforming in Desolate Fire Silk Cherry’s hand.
Desolate Fire Silk Cherry’s face turned grim, the man in white with black markings on his forehead was evidently from the Dark Holy Banquet and mastered the Law of Darkness, his realm at the top Initial Celestial God Realm, his strength firmly suppressing her.
"Cough... cough..." The Desolate Fire Sovereign let out a rapid cough, blood mixed in, his expression dimming further. As expected, couldn’t escape the pursuit of the Dark Holy Banquet after all?
"Dad!" Desolate Fire Silk Cherry’s face showed worry.
"The mighty Desolate Fire Sovereign, hiding within a Space Treasure, really made it hard for us to find." The white figure showed an evil smile, "Luckily, I finally found you. Returning to hand you over to the Thirty-Four Kings, he will surely reward me well."
"You beasts! The Desolate Fire Cosmic Capital has already been occupied by you, why do you keep chasing us!" Desolate Fire Silk Cherry shouted with red eyes.
"It’s the Will of the King, and also the Will of the Dark Holy Banquet, not to let any enemy go, even if it’s a helpless ant." The white figure waved, and the waiting black-robed soldiers came forward, ready to forcibly take the Desolate Fire Sovereign away.
"Let’s see who dares!" Desolate Fire Silk Cherry wielded the flaming red ribbon, defiantly blocking the bed, her gaze full of murderous intent and determination.
"Silk Cherry Princess, I’d advise you to put away the War Soldier, you’re not my opponent. If you insist on resisting, I can’t guarantee your father won’t be accidentally hurt." The white figure said, "Just surrender obediently. Do you really think you still have a chance to escape?"
The black-robed soldiers approached step by step, Desolate Fire Silk Cherry’s face turned pale, gritting her teeth stubbornly.
Boom~
Suddenly, a vast spiritual consciousness swept in.
"Uh..." The black-robed soldiers in the room couldn’t even react, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.
"Who!" The white figure’s expression changed drastically!
But soon, the white figure was horrified to discover a column of blood spraying from him, his lower body completely severed.
"Cosmic Spirit God!" The white figure could no longer stay calm; how could there be such a powerful Cosmic Spirit God beside the Desolate Fire Sovereign, why wasn’t this in the intelligence!
The white figure frantically attempted to flee through the doorway, but soon realized something was amiss as he flew out.
"Why is it completely dark here, and there’s a thick smell of blood?" Just as the thought crossed the white figure’s mind, a set of gruesome massive teeth suddenly appeared around him.
This is...
The white figure’s eyes widened, seemingly realizing something.
"Ah—"
The sound of the dreadful howl didn’t come out; instead, Lei Fan, standing at the door, was savoring it with interest.
"Who are you all?" Desolate Fire Si Ying hadn’t had time to react to all of this when another black-robed figure quickly entered through the door, heightening her alertness.
"Princess of Desolate Fire, Sovereign of Desolate Fire, you needn’t be nervous. I am a disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, Wang Xu."
As Wang Xu spoke, he took out his Heaven-Reaching White Jade Order. Desolate Fire Si Ying lightly touched it and realized it was indeed the genuine Heaven-Reaching White Jade Order. The black-robed figure before her was truly a disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion!
"How did you find this place?" Desolate Fire Si Ying’s tone noticeably softened.
"The way that guy found it just now is the way we found it," Wang Xu responded quickly. "You can save your other questions for later; right now, I urgently need to know one thing."
"Sovereign of Desolate Fire, do you know any other way to enter the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion?" Wang Xu eagerly asked the Desolate Fire Sovereign.
In the entire cosmos, probably only the Desolate Fire Sovereign knows how to enter the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion at this point.
The Desolate Fire Sovereign gave Wang Xu a deep glance, his lips parted as if to speak, but before the sound could come out, his eyes closed powerlessly, and he fell into a coma.
"The Desolate Fire Sovereign is..." Wang Xu swept his spiritual consciousness over him and was immediately shocked.
He could clearly feel the cultivation of the Desolate Fire Sovereign rapidly weakening, his insides empty, and his divine country reduced to just a lonely corner.
His divine country was actually destroyed...
Wang Xu was amazed. The Desolate Fire Sovereign was a figure who once dominated the cosmos and was considered one of the outstanding sovereigns of the Great Cosmic Country in this part of the cosmos.
Looking again at the elder Desolate Fire Sovereign, unconscious, with white hair and an aged face, there was no longer any trace of a once mighty figure.
"As you can see, my father’s divine country has already been destroyed, he... he won’t live much longer..." Desolate Fire Si Ying said, her eyes reddened as tears glistened, her voice becoming choked.
Father? Wang Xu was puzzled. Shouldn’t the princess of Desolate Fire call him Father King? But then he thought, the capital has fallen, and it’s no longer what it used to be, so titles have lost their meaning.
Wang Xu asked urgently, "Do you have any method? A method to save the Desolate Fire Sovereign."
Desolate Fire Si Ying shook her head in grief, "All methods have been tried, and all the divine medicines taken from the national hall have been consumed, but they can only slightly prolong his life and can’t repair the divine country at all."
"The divine country was destroyed? Who’s the unfortunate one?" Lei Fan walked in, and his emanating aura made Desolate Fire Si Ying’s heart palpitate.
"Desolate Fire Si Ying greets the senior," Desolate Fire Si Ying said respectfully.
Lei Fan ignored her and approached the Desolate Fire Sovereign. He swept his spiritual consciousness over him and clicked his tongue, "Is this the sovereign of the Desolate Fire Cosmic Country? The little fellow’s life is quite hard; even with his divine country destroyed like this, he managed to survive."
"Please, senior, lend your aid and save my father!" Desolate Fire Si Ying pleaded sorrowfully.
"Senior Lei Fan, do you have a way to heal the Desolate Fire Sovereign?" Wang Xu asked eagerly.
"A method naturally exists. Although his divine country is shattered absurdly, the cosmic law still remains. As long as the cosmic law exists, the divine country can be reborn," Lei Fan explained, "But to revive the divine country, the rare divine medicine ’Life Casting Grass’ must be found."
"Life Casting Grass?" Wang Xu knew nothing about the divine medicine.
"Life Casting Grass is an extremely rare divine medicine, even among divine medicines it’s as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn," Lu Chen, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "The value of Life Casting Grass is comparable to the Innate Divine Treasure, this rare divine medicine can only be found on the other side of the cosmos, and we have never seen it here."
Wang Xu frowned, realizing the situation was getting more and more troublesome.
"Everyone, I know that soon there will be a grand auction in Desolate Fire Main City, and I’ve heard that Life Casting Grass may be auctioned!" Desolate Fire Si Ying said at this moment, causing Wang Xu’s spirits to lift!
Auctioning Life Casting Grass!
If the Life Casting Grass can be obtained, the Desolate Fire Sovereign’s life can be saved, and in doing so, the concealed entrance to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion might be discovered.
"The Life Casting Grass’s value is not low. Merely with our wealth, it might not be enough to acquire this divine medicine," Lu Chen poured a bucket of cold water over them.
Indeed, Wang Xu had money, but even adding together all his treasures and cosmic crystals might not equate to an Innate Divine Treasure.
"No, I never intended to truly participate in the auction from the beginning," Desolate Fire Si Ying stated, "Apart from the auction, I think there might be a better way to obtain the Life Casting Grass."
"You’re saying..." Wang Xu immediately understood.
