Chapter 265: The Dark Federation’s Signature Fey

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan flapped his four wings and flew very skillfully in the air. This was not his first time using the Day and Night Spirit Silver-feathered wings to fly.

During the previous month or so of training, he had not only mastered the skill of manipulating the source-type Source Sand, but he had also learned how to use its Metal Consume Manifestation wings to fly.

At that time, he had chosen the Day and Night Spirit Silver as the second metal for the Source Sand’s Metal Consume Manifestation to consume partly because it was almost weightless.

The Day and Night Spirit Silver wings could allow Lin Yuan to fly faster and save more spiritual power while flapping them.

At present, the Day and Night Spirit Silver feathers differed greatly from before. After referencing many avian feys, Lin Yuan had decided on the feather shape of the Platinum avian fey, Divine Travel Black Swallow.

It had to be said that although it was uncomfortable sitting on the Divine Travel Black Swallow, its feather shape determined its specialty at flying.

Of course, Lin Yuan had also made certain improvements to the Divine Travel Black Swallow’s feathers. He had reduced the thickness at the edge of the feathers so that the feathers became sharper, and many bubble-shaped hollow parts were created in the feathers.

These improvements could allow the limited one cubic meter of Day and Night Spirit Silver to spawn more feathers.

After Lin Yuan injected spiritual power, the feathers’ hollow parts would turn from black feathers to white feathers. This could greatly increase the white feathers against external attacks and provide cushioning protection due to the Day and Night Spirit Silver’s metal characteristics.

Lin Yuan’s current flight speed was extremely fast, almost as fast as an ordinary Gold avian fey. However, he needed to consume a certain amount of spiritual power for such flights.

Even though he did not channel the spiritual power to the Day and Night Spirit Silver to allow the feathers to become white, flapping these four wings still consumed spiritual power.

It was unlike the many sand grains the Source Sand had created under the ground that could be freely controlled with its consciousness.

While Lin Yuan was flying, the Source Sand was also rapidly creating sand grains. At the same time, the previous yellow sand gathered toward the flame vortex’s direction.

...

Back when the flame that contained the lifeform aura had shot up to the sky, the middle-aged man at the entrance of the dimensional rift, spying on the adventurers who had entered the dimensional rift, looked appalled and horrified.

At that moment, almost all the adventurers who were training in the Class 3 dimensional rift saw the flaming green light burst into the sky. They also saw the flaming red light that covered the flaming green light, forming a flame vortex.

In the abyss dimensional rift, such a situation would only be possible because of the abyss dimensional rift’s strange flames. However, they had never heard of any strange flames that could cause such a degree of dimensional rift mutation.

Many adventurers or small groups of adventurers in the abyss dimensional rift thought they had the ability to head toward the crimson flame vortex. Of course, there was no lack of adventurers trying to take their chances.

However, most of them wanted to leave this controlled Class 3 dimensional rift. This was because those with a discerning eye could see that due to the dimensional zone’s mutation, it had become a place where they were apt to get into trouble.

The speed at which this crimson abyssal vortex was absorbing this Class 3 dimensional rift’s flame energy was simply too fast.

The year-round 50 degrees in the controlled Class 3 dimensional rift had become less than 20 degrees, which was not even as high as that of the Royal Capital’s late autumn.

This made the adventurers who were used to the abyss dimensional rift’s temperature feel a chill all over their bodies. Many of them were ready to leave this controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift.

But suddenly, they discovered that the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift had undergone mutation because of the crimson flame vortex absorbing the fire elements, causing the dimensional rift entrance to be closed.

In other words, it had formed into a no-entry and no-exit zone. Any means of communication were unavailable in the dimensional rift, including the Star Web Card. Such a situation caused the adventurers at the entrance of the abyss dimensional rift to panic.

At that moment, the king-class experts sent by the Radiance Federation’s Spirit Guards to this controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift stepped forward and controlled the situation.

The controlled dimensional rift in the Radiance Federation was usually under the Spirit Guards’ control. Every ten years during the active period of the dimensional rift, the Spirit Guards would close the previously controlled dimensional rift.

Once the active period passed, the Spirit Guards would once again select a suitable dimensional rift to control.

This was a resource for the Radiance Federation’s younger generation to train and for the Guild Alliance’s registered spirit qi professionals to maintain their livelihood.

The fact that the Spirit Guards had arranged for Zhao Jianqiang to guard the controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift on the Royal Capital’s outskirts showed that he was highly valued and must also be extremely strong.

After becoming a king-class expert, the Class 3 abyss dimensional rift beneath Zhao Jianqiang’s feet was no longer the first Class 3 dimensional rift he had guarded.

However, even if he was strong and knowledgeable, it was the first time that he had seen this happen before his eyes.

Just as he was controlling the overall situation and pacifying the adventurers, the middle-aged man who usually stayed at the entrance of the dimensional rift all day unknowingly left the rift entrance and headed toward the crimson flame vortex in a hurry.

Fear slowly covered the shock in the middle-aged man’s eyes, whom the others would not take a second glance at. He hesitated for a long time and finally reached out to take off his thin mask.

After the mask was taken off, it slowly turned into a fat brown worm that was like soft mud.

If Zhao Jianqiang, the strongest member of the Spirit Guards who was guarding the controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift, saw this brown, fat, soft mud-like worm, he would have exclaimed in surprise.

This was because this fat brown worm was not a fey produced by the Radiance Federation’s sphere of influence.

Such a fey came from the Dark Federation region, which was very far from the Radiance Federation. It was considered the Dark Federation’s signature fey.

This middle-aged man had a very strange charm on his face after he removed the mask that seemed to have formed a rather eerie-looking crow.

He took out a crystal bottle containing a drop of black blood and was at a loss for a while. He finally smeared the black blood on the strange charm on his face while trembling. His gaze became disorientated, just like death, in an instant.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to fall to the ground, a scarlet color suddenly emerged in his black-green eyes. This scarlet color had a triangular pattern in his eyes that was like a crow’s beak.

At that moment, the middle-aged man’s aura completely changed. When he came back to his senses, he crushed the soft mud-like fat brown worm in his hand and said in a gloomy voice, “Useless thing. You can’t even do what I told you well. You’re worthy of being a piece of trash that incompetent Cheng Wu had trained. I would like to see who is actually going to touch my Lifeform Sacrificial Fire.”
