CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 447: THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

"Hoo~~"

It was like a low-frequency resonance deep within the chest of a gigantic beast, deafening, piercing through flesh and skin from a great distance, making organs and bones quiver and numb.

The leading native high-rank mage gazed at the terrifying, writhing, and ever-expanding giant serpent, swallowing hard.

An exotic demon even Amaterasu couldn’t handle...

No matter the cost, such a monster must be completely eradicated before it fully grows...

Seemingly aware of his thoughts, Amaterasu cast a faint glance at him.

"I advise you not to act rashly."

"Why? If we use certain forbidden techniques, we can even kill a Beast!"

Looking at the other’s displeased expression, Amaterasu sighed longingly.

"True, he is far from being in his complete body now, and many of your forbidden techniques could easily kill him, but..."

"How do you know he doesn’t have a backup plan?"

Upon hearing this, the mage’s brow slowly furrowed.

"What do you mean?"

"Ah... At our level, the destruction of the material body is not the end. With some preparation and a small cost, one can create ’miracles’ beyond your understanding, such as..."

With that, Amaterasu slightly tilted her head, pointing her chin at the direction of the battlefield.

"Resurrection of the dead."

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao indulged in the happy satisfaction of the delicious taste spreading in his mouth. Only after devouring all the remaining source quality in the air did he smack his lips unsatisfied.

"Tsk... It’s a bit bland... far less tasty than the Three Noble Sons or the Old Emperor..."

However, both sides have only recently arrived, with no time to develop and mature, incomparable to the mature Fruit at the Heavenly Peak...

With a resigned sigh, Zhu Haomiao suddenly looked up and saw a golden rune materializing out of thin air, radiating light like the sun.

It looked like a deformed cross, with a hollow teardrop shape at the top, only slightly different from modern symbols.

However, just by looking at that rune, Zhu Haomiao felt an endless divine life force!

Could it be the Anka Cross?!

The Life Key symbolizing ’Immortality’, ’Eternal Life’, and ’Rebirth’?!

Recognizing the symbolic rune at a glance, Zhu Haomiao’s heart trembled, immediately understanding why Amon’s ’taste’ was so bland.

Turns out, he hadn’t truly died!

Soon, the divine light from the Anka Cross continued to expand, transforming into a mini sun suspended in the air, with space-time rippling like water waves around it.

And under the rippling space-time pattern, a lavish and exquisite small boat slowly rose, carrying the floating sun as it drifted forward.

The Sun Ship!

Watching this symbolic scene, Zhu Haomiao squinted his eyes, his fingers instinctively twitching slightly.

But he quickly suppressed his primal impulse, abandoning the thought of pursuit.

With a body at the Bronze Level forcibly summoning a trace of projection from the Kunlun Mirror, such a defiant act had already exhausted his spirit and body, leaving no spare strength to continue fighting.

Besides, he could tell the difference between a full meal and a daily satisfaction.

Once Amon, that Lao Liu, develops a bit more, his taste should be more ’delicious’!

Smacking his lips, Zhu Haomiao watched the Sun Ship tear through the space-time barrier, disappearing instantly into the chaotic void, as he exhaled a calm and long breath.

Hoo~

Restraint over Gluttony, Dao Heart +1

Restraint over greed, Dao Heart +2

As if expelling the desires from his heart, the black light in Zhu Haomiao’s eyes gradually faded, and the terrifying Dharma Form behind him also withdrew its might, slowly shrinking back onto the Black Dragon Suit, transforming into faint dragon and serpent patterns.

Only then did Zhu Haomiao have the time to examine his changes.

With a thought, information from the Book of Black unfolded quietly within his Divine Soul.

Gluttony devours source quality, Jealousy permanently plunders strength.

Essence, Qi, Spirit +50

Strength, Body, Dexterity +100 (50×200%)

Gluttony: LV.4→LV.6

Jealousy: LV.3→LV.5

His pupils slightly contracted, and seeing such exaggerated attribute enhancements, Zhu Haomiao couldn’t help but silently gasp.

This is much easier than painstaking cultivation!

The only problem is, top-quality reserves like Amon and Amaterasu are rare in the world.

Moreover, it’s most regrettable that Jealousy couldn’t touch the opponent’s original Divinity, failing to plunder the most precious thing...

With a regretful sigh, Zhu Haomiao collected himself and turned to the onlookers at the battlefield’s periphery.

A slight smile on his lips, the black-clad youth strolled leisurely through the ruins, "slowly" walking toward them.

Though unhurried, even with a relaxed and gentle pace, it was as if space folded. Each step crossed great distances, spanning the entire battlefield in mere seconds, arriving before the crowd.

As that terrifying figure quickly approached, even the afterimage hard to catch, a group of native wizards tensed up, each gripping their weapons tightly, their fingertips pale as they sought any illusion of safety.

Whoosh~

In the blink of an eye, the black-clad youth stood before them, his deep, pure black eyes scanning them as he revealed a warm and friendly smile, nodding slightly.

Yet, despite his show of friendliness and reined aura, recalling his previously revealed ghastly true form made the native wizards shiver, feeling like they were being watched by an Ancient Demon.

Not caring about the natives’ fear and tension, after a courteous greeting, Zhu Haomiao looked at the cold and aloof girl.

"Amaterasu, I’ve tasted Amon too. Your Divinities are both incomplete now, aren’t you happy?"

"..."

Though long accustomed to his lack of a filter, Amaterasu’s internal flames of anger still surged rapidly, her veins barely noticeable on her forehead slightly throbbing.

Can’t get angry!

Can’t get angry!

Refining Heart!

Refining Heart!

Suppressing the turbulent waves in her sea of Spirit, Amaterasu’s ample chest heaved up and down, gradually calming herself.

On the other side, seeing Amaterasu’s reaction, Zhu Haomiao quickly realized he might have misspoken and hastily corrected himself.

"Uh... What I mean is, from now on, you’re on the same starting line. If you suffer again, you can’t blame me~"

"..."

Yet, the explanation only reignited Amaterasu’s inner fury, glaring viciously at him.

Startled by her sudden fierce glare, Zhu Haomiao shrank his neck, muttering with some grievance.

"I avenged you, and you don’t thank me, yet you glare at me..."
