EBE Chapter 520: I've never heard of this before!
Chapter 520: I've never heard of this before!
At this moment, the entire hall was somewhat quiet.Everyone looked at the Great Sage with a confused expression... including Zhu Peng, who had his spell interrupted for the second time.
Zhu Peng was utterly bewildered...
Is there anyone normal in this Grand Sky Sect?
The first time I used the Art of Self-Sacrifice, I was interrupted by the Beast God, which I can understand... after all, it's a deity.
But damn it, the second time I used the Art of Self-Sacrifice, some random person just came out and interrupted me again?
Does the Grand Sky Sect even make sense?
And how come this second person who broke the Art of Self-Sacrifice did it even more skillfully than the Beast God?
The Art of Self-Sacrifice is a secret technique of the demon race... not even all demons know it, right? Damn it, shouldn't this have been lost ages ago on the Blazing Sun Continent?
What does it mean when any random person can just jump out and know it?
Not just Zhu Peng, even Chu Xinghe was a bit confused...
So, the Great Sage can even break the Art of Self-Sacrifice?
And Great Sage, if you're going to break it, could you do it a bit faster? Isn't this a bit too mocking?
But speaking of the Great Sage, Chu Xinghe was also bewildered, with no choice...
He once thought the Great Sage was a figure from the same era as the Beast God.
So after acquiring the Beast God, Chu Xinghe privately asked the Great Sage about the Beast God.
But regarding the Beast God Chu Xinghe mentioned, the Great Sage said a lot, yet the result was somewhat awkward because Chu Xinghe realized that the Beast God the Great Sage talked about seemed to be a different person from the one he mentioned.
He was talking about the era when the Four Continents coexisted, wanting to learn stories of that era from the Great Sage.
But the Great Sage spoke of an era where many races stood together, indicating that in their time, it wasn't just the Four Continents... there were many more continents...
So Chu Xinghe could conclude that the era in which the Great Sage existed definitely surpassed the era of the Beast God, being even more ancient.
Because Chu Xinghe had also inquired about the Dark Moon Clan from the Beast God, but the Beast God stated he had never heard of the Dark Moon Clan...
At the same time, the Beast God was bewildered by the curse on the Dark Moon Clan... because the Beast God had never heard of such a terrifying curse existing in the world.
As for the Art of Self-Sacrifice... in the eyes of the Great Sage, isn't it just a technique to sacrifice one's body and let the soul escape?
This kind of thing, our Dark Moon Clan can do hundreds of times... we used to play with such small techniques out of boredom.
Later, after dying so many times, we even improved this thing, and now our Dark Moon Clan doesn't even need to sacrifice the body to perform the escape technique...
Listening to the Great Sage's words, the scene was somewhat out of control...
The big shots from various sects looked at the Great Sage with a bit of helplessness.
However, this was clearly not the time to study the Great Sage; the key was to seize the moment to learn about the demon race from Zhu Peng.
Elder He personally came forward to interrogate, but before the interrogation, Elder He noticed something unusual about Zhu Peng.
Between Zhu Peng's eyebrows, there was a faintly visible dark green snake-shaped mark, and even Elder He was uncertain about this mark.
He took out his compiled "He Clan's Encyclopedia of Miscellaneous Studies" to check.
And this check revealed why Zhu Peng could still be so fearless after the failure of the Art of Self-Sacrifice.
This snake-shaped mark was the Ghost Snake Mark of the Snake Spirit Clan within the demon race.
The Snake Spirit Clan mastered the power of devouring, and they had a unique ability, which was their spiritual technique. The snake clan could forcibly imprint the Ghost Snake Mark on others, making them slaves.
Granting them a certain amount of demon race power, no need to ask, the demon race power on Zhu Peng came from this.
Seeing Elder He mention the Ghost Snake Mark, Zhu Peng didn't hide it, laughing wildly as he spoke.
"Since you know about the Ghost Snake Mark, you should also know what it represents, right? My Ghost Snake Mark is from my demon lord, who dares to kill me?"
Zhu Peng arrogantly scanned the room, thinking, so what if my Art of Self-Sacrifice failed?
Even if you capture me, what can you do? You can't kill me, so what can you do to me?
But just as Zhu Peng was being arrogant, An Lan not far away curiously asked, "Why wouldn't we dare to kill you?"
"Hahaha... young man, you probably don't even know what the Ghost Snake Mark represents, do you?"
Hearing Zhu Peng call An Lan a young man... everyone present had a thought... he calls An Lan a young man? Well... you probably don't even know what An Lan represents...
"Come on, tell me, I'm very curious."
"Young man" An Lan said excitedly.
Looking at this young man An Lan who seemed unaware of the danger, Zhu Peng laughed, "My Ghost Snake Mark comes from the demon lord. Whoever kills me, the Ghost Snake Mark will fall on them, and if their power isn't stronger than my demon lord, the Ghost Snake Mark will curse them to death!"
Zhu Peng was full of arrogance!
An Lan was even more excited!
"So it's basically a one-for-one exchange?" Chu Xinghe was also surprised at the power of this Ghost Snake Mark.
"Hahaha... one-for-one? You're thinking too simply! My Ghost Snake Mark's power comes from the demon lord. Even if I'm killed, as long as the killer isn't as powerful as my demon lord, after the Ghost Snake Mark curses you to death, it will allow me to be reborn! So I, Zhu Peng, am immortal!"
Zhu Peng laughed wildly.
But as he laughed, Zhu Peng noticed more laughter around him.
Zhu Peng stopped, bewildered, realizing that these laughs seemed to come from the young man who had just questioned him and the other young people behind him.
Looking at these young people, Zhu Peng mocked, young people really aren't afraid of death!
At this point, you're still laughing?
But as Zhu Peng watched, he realized something was off because as the young people started laughing, everyone around began laughing too.
It's one thing for them to laugh, but why are they getting more excited as they laugh?
Are you even listening to what I'm saying, Zhu Peng?
I said whoever kills me will die with me... and I can still be reborn with the demon lord's power. Although this will severely damage my soul, I'll still be alive, and you'll be dead, so why are you laughing?
Just as Zhu Peng was bewildered, Elder He found all the records about the Ghost Snake Mark.
The Ghost Snake Mark was indeed a powerful ability of the Snake Spirit Clan.
But it was nowhere near as powerful as Zhu Peng claimed.
If the Ghost Snake Mark were as Zhu Peng described, wouldn't the Snake Spirit Clan have been invincible back then as long as their cultivation level was high enough and they had enough slaves?
Endless rebirth, do you think you're the Dark Moon Clan?
In reality, the Ghost Snake Mark works like this... the Snake Spirit Clan can plant the Ghost Snake Mark on others, and the mark itself is a curse. As Zhu Peng said, if you forcibly kill a slave with the Ghost Snake Mark, the curse will transfer to the killer.
If the killer's power is less than the owner of the Ghost Snake Mark, the Snake Spirit can curse them to death, but the rebirth of the slave isn't without cost. The slave's rebirth requires the Snake Spirit to consume a huge amount of power.
And even if reborn, the slave's soul suffers severe damage, it's a play of killing a thousand enemies while losing fifteen hundred of your own.
As for Zhu Peng's claim of endless rebirth, that's wishful thinking, because each rebirth would double the damage to the Snake Spirit. Not even the Beast God could play this game too many times.
With Elder He explaining this game clearly, Zhu Peng wasn't panicked.
Even if you know about the Ghost Snake Mark, what can you do to me, Zhu Peng?
I, Zhu Peng, can die once or twice and still be reborn, but every time I die, I curse one of you to death. Do you really want to exchange lives with me?
Come on, let me, Zhu Peng, see who among you isn't afraid to die!
But just as Zhu Peng arrogantly declared who wasn't afraid to die, the scene became somewhat chaotic.
"Saint... I, An Lan, was the first to ask, so I must be the first to die!"
Zhu Peng: "???"
"Saint... don't listen to An Lan's nonsense, he's the one who dies the most usually, if you let him, none of us will get a chance to die, he can die all by himself!"
Zhu Peng: "???"
"Saint... I've never asked you for anything... but this time, please let me, An Xin, be the one to die, okay?"
Zhu Peng: "???"
"Saint... I won't fight to be the first to die, I'll be the second... can I be the second to die? I've never tried such a unique way of dying!"
Zhu Peng: "???"
Zhu Peng found himself gradually unable to understand human language...
The Dark Moon Clan was already in chaos, we've never played with such a novel way of dying!
We kill the other side, and they can curse us to death?
Then after cursing us, they can revive and continue dying?
Is there really such a good thing?
Our Dark Moon Clan has finally made it... we used to die by ourselves, and it was so boring...
Even after having Junior Brother Wei Buhui, he could only kill us... we couldn't ask him to die with us!
But now... this Zhu Peng, look at him, he's practically a Lucky Star sent from heaven!
He's not only killable by us, but he can also revive with us... live to die again... die to live again...
This game of dying and living, living and dying... our Dark Moon Clan is absolutely thrilled.
Zhu Peng was already bewildered... at this point, Zhu Peng didn't know what to say... damn it, I've heard of people fighting over spirit treasures, resources, and status, but fighting over who gets to die first is a first!
But just as Zhu Peng was utterly confused, the Dark Moon Clan was already about to start fighting.
Even the Great Sage stepped forward.
The Great Sage excitedly said, "Saint... don't worry about the rest, leave this little toy to our Dark Moon Clan, we'll make sure everything's arranged perfectly... I'll take responsibility for the distribution!"
In the end, Zhu Peng was taken away... taken away by a group of Dark Moon Clan members singing and jumping merrily.
Watching Zhu Peng leave with a bewildered face, Chu Xinghe could only hope... that the Snake Spirit behind him could hold on a bit longer, otherwise, the Dark Moon Clan might not have enough fun...
Additionally, Chu Xinghe silently mourned for a minute for the Snake Spirit Clan within the demon race, hoping they wouldn't descend on the Blazing Sun Continent... otherwise... the Dark Moon Clan might just catch a few Snake Spirits to play with at home every day...
Is the Dark Moon Clan naturally meant to counter the Snake Spirits?
