CHAPTER 957: CHAPTER 925: SIN SPRING CRYSTAL

The Sin Tree was dense, and one of the green leaves emitted a bright light.

The entire military ship was instantly shrouded in a gray hazy stream of light, which continuously extended around. Within seconds, the cracks on the ship’s body were completely repaired.

Immediately afterward, a second green leaf on the Sin Tree pattern lit up, its surroundings shimmering with a rosé-gold hue, faintly exuding a divine brilliance, mysterious indeed.

Perceiving the divine aura, Xia Feng’s heart trembled,

Could it be that Great Lord Huang Ye is descending?

As the second green leaf brightened, a three-person tall blue crystal appeared out of thin air in the control room hall.

Huang Zhaoyue’s fox-gray eyes deepened, and a mind transmission echoed in Xia Feng’s mind, "It’s the Sin Spring Crystal, they indeed have a backup plan."

"Backup plan?" It didn’t seem like Huang Ye was descending, but Xia Feng still had a bad premonition.

"As mentioned before, the Sin Tree can establish a ’Sin Tree Network’. Any Spirit Master practicing the Shadow of Great Sin can connect to this network, drawing ’Power of Sin’ from it to accelerate their practice of the Shadow of Great Sin.

If a Spirit Master within the Sin Tree Network dies, their practiced ’Sin Shadow’ can be sacrificed to the Sin Tree, becoming a Sin Leaf on the Sin Tree.

Great Sin Spirit Masters can then exchange desired Sin Leaves by consuming ’Sin Points’ merits.

And the [Sin Spring Crystal] is one of the three core Sin Leaves of the Sin Tree, originating from a sage who died in the Middle Ages Chaos, possessing the power of group resurrection."

Group resurrection? Xia Feng doubted his ears, could there really be such an outrageous ability?

"The Sin Spring Crystal can be fixed inside a ’large object’ and merge with it. Thereafter, any life form marked by the Sin Spring Crystal, once dead, can revive and be reborn within that object...."

"....." The more Xia Feng listened, the more this thing felt familiar,

He inexplicably recalled a type of 5v5 tower-pushing game from his past life, where game characters would revive in the spring upon death....

"However, this revival and rebirth has significant limitations, only able to resurrect life forms within the range of a Constant Star System. Leaving this range, or departing from this domain plane, will render revivals impossible. As for the upper limit on numbers and times of revival, it depends on the consumed Power of Sin.

Furthermore, each revival is accompanied by a significant reduction in sanity points, which is also the most critical drawback limiting the number of revivals."

"....."

Xia Feng found the Sin Tree more and more terrifying; although each Sin Leaf’s ability has limitations, it can’t be stopped from indefinitely developing and recycling Sin Leaves.

The longer it develops, the more formidable the legion assisted by the Sin Tree becomes.

"So your point is...."

"The Sin Spring Crystal, as one of the three core Sin Leaves supporting the Great Sin Army, cannot be exchanged by individuals, generally only used in large-scale wars. For example, during the internal war of the Empire three thousand years ago, the Great Sin achieved the miracle of keeping the soldier casualty rate below 0.1% using the Sin Spring Crystal.

But apparently, Sin Day seems to have anticipated this trip that Ni Yan and Zhuo Hua would die, so they specially approved this Sin Leaf for this military ship."

Saying this, Huang Zhaoyue gazed at the high-altitude azure crystal, inside which two faint red streams shimmered,

"There are ten seconds left for Ni Yan and Zhuo Hua to fully revive."

Xia Feng glanced at Huang Zhaoyue, who was gravely injured and weak, then looked towards the crystal, and said in a deep voice, "Is there a way to stop it? Like blowing up this crystal?"

Huang Zhaoyue shook her head, "The Sin Spring Crystal can indeed be destroyed, but it at least requires a Divine-level existence to do so, and neither of us has that kind of power."

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng expressed slight regret.

He thought he could take this opportunity to completely eliminate these two Shadow Venerables of Great Sin.

"Buzz——!"

As the light waves buzzed, a dark red stream in the azure crystal slowly condensed into a human shape.

A dark red feathered robe covered the entire body, and the somewhat gender-neutral delicate features gradually animated. Red eyeliner traced the corners of the eyes, making it hard to discern gender, as his eyes opened suddenly.

As the hollow pupils focused, realizing where he was, a faint smile crept across his lips as he gently descended.

He didn’t first bow to Huang Zhaoyue, instead looking outwards through the ship’s porthole, where the cold blue luster of the Eternal Flowing Sea Water reflected in his pupils.

Zhuo Hua’s lips curled even more, "Interesting, it seems we’ve already escaped from Burning Heaven Island?"

Saying this, he turned back, his gentle gaze fixing on the distant black and white female figure.

The black and white female figure reclined against a metal-backed chair, with a black cat lying on her skirt-covered lap, half-closing its eyes, seemingly dozing.

"Her Highness the Imperial Concubine indeed has excellent methods, escaping alive even without the Sin Spring Crystal’s support."

Zhuo Hua squinted slightly at Huang Zhaoyue’s indifferent face, chuckled lightly, "However, Your Highness seems to be severely injured."

Though Huang Zhaoyue tried to conceal it, her face was no longer pale, Zhuo Hua easily sensed that Her Highness was in a very poor state.

Huang Zhaoyue’s fox-gray eyes were extremely cold and indifferent, lifting them slightly to the feather-robed man, "Shadow Venerable Zhuo Hua, you failed to obtain the Abyss Bone Flower on this trip. You should be concerned about explaining this to the Pillar Country, not wasting time probing me."

"Oh?"

Zhuo Hua’s lip curve quirked bizarrely, "Your Highness, who told you the mission to obtain the Abyss Bone Flower failed?"

Huang Zhaoyue’s eyebrows subtly furrowed.

Xia Feng, lying on her lap, also slowly raised his amber vertical pupil, the eerie beast eyes fixed motionless at the distant Shadow Venerable of Great Sin.

Only to see Zhuo Hua smile, casually snap his fingers, then two bone-white flowers hovered in his palm.

A chilling aura emanated, quickly floating upward, seeming to be attracted by Huang Zhaoyue’s blood aura, instantly flying to her front, spinning in circles.

"Her Highness the Imperial Concubine, please absorb these flowers to complete the repair and stabilization of your bloodline." Zhuo Hua spoke with genuine respect, smiling and bowing in salute.

Huang Zhaoyue watched the two bone-white flowers in front, her phantom-gray eyes narrowing gently, "Was the news about the mole being a trap of Burning Heaven false? How did you get these?"

"Your Highness, though your status is noble, to know more internal secrets of the Great Sin Army, you’d still need to first consult Great Lord Huang Ye."

Zhuo Hua shrugged, with great interest, "Or are you unwilling to consume these two Abyss Bone Flowers?"

Huang Zhaoyue’s gaze remained calm, without a hint of hesitation, she casually crushed the Abyss Bone Flowers into streams of light that surged into her brow.

The previously unstable right half of her shadow figure swiftly gained a white-clad entity.

The surrounding unstable Abyssal Field quickly dissipated, the dangerous domain initially preventing others from approaching within two meters retracted internally.

The bloodline stabilized once again, having both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that her power ceiling will further increase, enabling her to use many bloodline techniques previously unavailable.

As for the disadvantage, the Abyssal Field cannot always remain external. Once severely injured and unable to resist, the Abyssal Field cannot automatically shield her from danger.
