Chapter 474: Chapter 480: Soul-Sealing Demon Pearl

The leader of the Celestial Team is named Park Jae-yu.

Including Park Jae-yu, several hundred people from the Celestial Team tried every means in the past month to align themselves with Mist Dragon City and signed a contract with Heska, becoming bound by the contract and turning into Heska’s loyal dogs, thus becoming vassals of Mist Dragon City.

Why make such a decision?

To put it simply, they were inspired by Sand Spring City and saw the immense benefits of collaborating with the indigenous forces of the Spirit Realm. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

While turning the entire team over to Heska would sacrifice some freedom and come at some cost, the benefits to be gained from it were astounding.

Heska is the strongest king in this world, having lived for nearly a thousand years and ruled it for hundreds more. The forces and resources at his disposal are unimaginable!

All it took was one step forward.

And trust from Heska was certain.

Whether becoming rich or powerful was a breeze.

Heska could easily procure advanced items beyond human capability or difficult to obtain, and once Celestial Team members returned to Seoul City, they could effortlessly find resources unavailable in the Earth Dragon Realm from the city’s vast market of millions of people spanning hundreds to thousands of worlds.

Not even a month had passed.

Celestial Team members continually traveled back and forth between Mist Dragon City and Seoul City.

The astonishing interests generated during this process also caught Heska’s attention.

From a second or third-tier team, the Celestial Team has now become a first-rate force with several 14th-level masters, and their strength is nearly comparable to New York’s Spirit Sword Bureau.

It was precisely after subduing the Celestial Team’s power that the Mad Dragon King Heska began paying attention to the sudden rise of human forces. After discovering the increasing human forces in various major regions of the Earth Dragon Realm, he inevitably became wary of humans and could no longer stand idly by.

Starting from Dragon Ridge.

Heska decided that, apart from a few loyalists, all humans should be eliminated to prevent this power from growing too quickly and threatening the rule of the Mad Dragon King.

Coincidentally, the Swamp Camp exposed itself in its connections with the Celestial Team, prompting the plan to launch early—to cleanse humans from the Swamp Camp on one hand and to test the loyalty of the Celestial Team on the other.

Park Jae-yu knew full well this was the Mad Dragon King’s test for him.

He also clearly understood that human forces in the Earth Dragon Realm were like trifles before the Mad Dragon King, with only a small batch of defectors likely to survive, and those spots would undoubtedly be very limited.

This is very normal.

The Mad Dragon King could not tolerate nearly ten thousand humans being active in the Earth Dragon Realm.

Park Jae-yu didn’t want to be among the majority eliminated. Survival is the most important thing; everything else can be set aside, including dignity, freedom, and morality.

As Park Jae-yu aimed to become a confidant of the Mad Dragon King, he offered the location of the Swamp Camp upon learning of the King’s upcoming action against humans in major areas and applied to personally eliminate that human force!

Hence the sudden change!

Park Jae-yu respectfully approached a tall, slender figure draped in a black robe.

With a flattering expression, he humbly asked, "Honorable Death Dragon General Sinos, it’s just a group of petty thieves. Is it necessary to trouble someone as significant as yourself? I believe I can handle it."

Under the black robe was a Dragonman covered in black scales.

He was enveloped in an aura of death, exuding a powerful oppressive presence.

This person was none other than Death Dragon General Sinos, one of the three reliable subordinates under the Mad Dragon King, with strength no less than a Governor of the Province.

No doubt about it.

Such a powerful presence.

At least one Fourth Tier inheritance was assured.

This was apparent from Sinos’s demeanor.

An inheritance above the Third Tier would alter the constitution and even the soul, as seen in Sinos’s case. His constitution had undergone significant changes, transforming into a half-Witch Demon, half-Undead being, indicating his main inheritance route was from the Witch Demon Series.

Sinos’s face was hidden under the robe.

A faint black mist swirled around him.

Park Jae-yu couldn’t see his expression, only feel the powerful oppression emanating from him.

Among the Three Great Dragon Generals, Death Dragon General Sinos’s direct combat ability was not exceptionally strong, but he’s undoubtedly one of the most terrifying generals. As merely a loyal dog to the Mad Dragon King, Park Jae-yu dared not offend such a critical figure.

"Very well, since you have sworn loyalty to the great Mad Dragon King, you should serve His Majesty with all your might. Let me now see your devotion to His Majesty."

"As you command!"

"We will not disappoint you, my Lord."

Park Jae-yu unhesitatingly commanded in Korean, "Charge with me! For the great Mad Dragon King, leave none alive here!"

Several hundred elite members of the Celestial Team rushed into the camp base surrounded by the Dragonman Squad.

The camp had already suffered a wave of attacks, and due to not being fully prepared before the ambush, the casualties were significant. In the midst of their confusion, Dai Yunzhong and Ji Shuang suddenly saw the Celestial Team charging towards them.

"Damn bastards!"

"You don’t deserve to be human!"

With the situation so tense, there was no time for more curses as the two sides clashed.

Head-on, Park Jae-yu unleashed a Fourth Tier skill, the "Heaven-Slaying Sword," a massive sword light slicing through the crowd, instantly taking down five people.

At level 14, with half his body covered in blue equipment, Park Jae-yu was an almost insurmountable terror for most of the Swamp Camp’s members.

Additionally, his team included several 14th-level, first-class experts with Fourth Tier skills, all savage and frenzied, leaving no quarter. They dealt devastating blows to the Swamp Camp, causing heavy casualties.

"Interesting..."

Sinos’s mouth curled into an intriguing smile.

This betrayal and fratricide scene was not uncommon in the Spirit Realm.

But for a race that has been in the Spirit Realm for less than a year to adapt so swiftly to its survival laws only demonstrated the innate adaptability and cunning of the human race.

This race has great potential.

If properly tamed, they could be powerful hunting dogs and falcons, smoothing paths for their master.

However, as they grow stronger, they could easily betray their master, which was very dangerous and must be guarded against.

Sinos thought it necessary to advise the Mad Dragon King that such human forces shouldn’t remain in the Earth Dragon Realm. It would be best to eradicate them completely once their usefulness expired, leaving none alive.

So far.

The human strength from the Swamp Camp was barely noticeable.

Sinos indeed didn’t need to take action; the Celestial Team could handle it.

However, Sinos wasn’t merely watching the show. He took out a Purple Treasure Pearl from his pocket, which was surrounded by a faint purple energy halo, indicating it was a Purple Quality treasure.

Once the pearl was taken out.

For every person killed on the battlefield, a purple aura would be drawn from the body by a powerful yet invisible force and sealed within the pearl.

Hang Yu did not rush to join the fray; he was observing the scene, biding his time. Once he saw this, his expression became very grave.

Soul-Sealing Demon Pearl?

This pearl inherently possesses great strength.

It’s a Purple Treasure that can significantly enhance Spiritual Professionals.

Besides, it has a soul-sealing special ability, meaning it can directly extract and imprison the soul particles of slain targets within the pearl, preventing these souls from returning to their resurrection points to revive. Eventually, the soul completely becomes a fish on the chopping board.

Hang Yu could instantly make a judgment.

This guy is definitely no ordinary character!

Being in possession of such an item, he’s likely a top-tier figure in Mist Dragon City, probably one of the Three Great Dragon Generals under the Mad Dragon King, a character whose power rivals that of a Spirit Realm Governor... The situation this time was a bit tricky!
