Chapter 2030: Chapter 2027: Curse of Aging

"Ling Feng, you have destroyed everything I have, the hope of our Holy Spirit Clan. Even if I die, I will never let you go!" The Holy Spirit King roared, "I will watch you fall into Hell, step by step towards the destruction of the Abyss!"

After the roar, the entire body of the Holy Spirit King exploded, and a dark mark flew out from his body, aiming at Ling Feng’s chest.

Ling Feng’s expression changed, and he quickly retreated while raising a defensive barrier around him, but it was all in vain. The dark mark still landed on Ling Feng’s chest. Then, a strange power entered Ling Feng’s body and disappeared within him.

"A curse?" Ling Feng looked at the pattern on his chest, his face slightly grim.

A curse pronounced by a Half-step Immortal master with the last of his life’s power is not something that easily dissipates.

Ling Feng sighed. It was difficult to kill a Half-step Immortal master. In fact, if the Holy Spirit King wanted to escape, Ling Feng was not certain he could completely eliminate him. Ling Feng did not believe that the Holy Spirit King, after controlling the Angel World for so long, had no life-saving cards.

Ling Feng’s original objective was to severely wound the Holy Spirit King and drive him out of the Angel World! As for wanting to kill him, it was merely something he said to boost the morale of the Angel Resistance Army.

But now, the Holy Spirit King chose to die, using death to curse Ling Feng!

Because he could see that with Ling Feng present, the Angel World would inevitably fall into Ling Feng’s hands. As long as Ling Feng was alive, the Holy Spirit Clan would never be at peace!

"Even if I understand your choice... I can only say, it’s futile!" Ling Feng sighed and said.

The Holy Angel chose self-sacrifice for the Angel World and the Angel Race, while the Holy Spirit King chose a path of no return for the status of the Holy Spirit Clan.

Ling Feng felt a trace of admiration for them. If he were in their shoes, he might have made the same choice and decision!

Understanding is one thing, but Ling Feng would not be swayed in his beliefs and actions because of this understanding. The world is inherently cruel, and resources are limited. To secure a better living space for his people, one must exploit the interests of other races. This is the law of survival!

This is something Ling Feng was very clear about, and he repeatedly warned himself inwardly that a person who is too much like the Holy Mother cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.

"Tower Spirit, do you know how to remove this curse?" After a moment of silence, Ling Feng did not notice anything abnormal in his body, so he asked the Tower Spirit.

The voice of the Tower Spirit appeared in Ling Feng’s mind: "This is a curse from a Peak Half-step Immortal master; it is almost impossible to remove it!"

"Almost impossible to remove? So that means there is still a way to remove it?" Ling Feng asked.

The Tower Spirit said, "Indeed, I do know of a way to remove this curse, but right now, it’s beyond your capability."

Ling Feng was silent for a moment and then said, "Is it a matter of reaching the Immortal Realm?"

"That’s right, that’s exactly it!" the Tower Spirit said. "No matter how strong a Half-step Immortal master is, there is a vast gap compared to a true Immortal Realm. The curses they set might be impossible to remove for those of the same realm, but for someone in the Immortal Realm, they are nothing."

"I understand, but what is the effect of this curse? I don’t feel anything different," Ling Feng said in a deep voice. "Could it be that it didn’t work?"

The Tower Spirit’s voice carried a hint of solemnity: "Do you think it’s possible it didn’t work? That was a curse crafted by the life and faith of a Half-step Immortal master! If it were an ordinary curse, I wouldn’t be too worried, but this curse... is troublesome!"

"Speak then, I can handle it!" Ling Feng said.

The Tower Spirit said, "Then I’ll speak bluntly. The curse placed on you by the Holy Spirit King is the Curse of Aging!"

"The Curse of Aging?" Ling Feng mused for a moment and then said, "So this curse speeds up my aging?"

The Tower Spirit said, "Yes, it seems you understand. This Curse of Aging indeed accelerates your aging process. Moreover, it involves the Time Law, which can bypass your realm and cultivation, making it extremely difficult to deal with."

The Curse of Aging, is it? Ling Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and he continued to ask: "If this Curse of Aging continues like this, how long can I hold out?"

Upon this question, the Tower Spirit fell silent.

"Hmm?" Ling Feng frowned slightly. He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he noticed that his voice seemed to have changed slightly.

"This Curse of Aging will become more severe and progress faster. Given your current realm and cultivation, I think you can last up to six months!"

Six months? Ling Feng’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t expected things to be so severe. If he didn’t ascend to the Immortal Realm or find a solution within six months, would he be doomed to death?

"I’ve always felt like my time is very tight!" Ling Feng exhaled, "It seems I need to accelerate my actions and solve the problems here quickly so I can return to the Ancient Ruins and walk the Path of Immortality!"

"Ling Feng, although I can’t help you remove this curse, I can help delay its onset, but even if I do everything I can, I can only extend it by six months. So, you have at most one year!" The Tower Spirit’s voice carried a hint of guilt: "If you can’t find a solution after a year, I’m sorry, but I will have to leave!"

Ling Feng chuckled softly, "That’s only natural. An additional six months will have to suffice. Let’s go. As long as we don’t give up, there’s always hope for the future, right?"

With those words, Ling Feng turned and left.

Suspended City vanished overnight; many masters escaped with their lives or perished. The Holy Spirit King was nowhere to be found, plunging the entire Angel World into panic and chaos.

Camille was stunned upon hearing the news. She never imagined that Ling Feng would actually go and kill the Holy Spirit King, the enemy she’d battled for tens of thousands of years, so effortlessly...

"Ling Feng is far too terrifying! The key is... how long has he been cultivating? Not even a century yet!" Camille shivered, realizing that she might have encountered someone even stronger than the Holy Spirit King.

The news of the Holy Spirit King’s downfall extinguished the last flicker of resistance in Camille’s heart.

"Camille!" At this moment, the Bright Saintess sent a message to Camille: "Gather the high-ranking members of the Angel Resistance Army immediately. Now is the time for our counterattack."
