Chapter 989: The Emperors Spirit Orb

Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio

Moment Queen stopped and explained, "If the ritual did not work, the emperor will not have been brought back to life . But regardless, his lifeforce is still in-play . If its existence continues in this way, it will instead become a spirit orb . Think of it as a weakened spirit stone, that is unable to revive anything . But, it can be consumed by other spirits . If another spirit consumes a spirit orb, they are granted a considerable number of self geno points . "

"How do you know there'll still be a spirit orb? What if the emperor has already taken it?" Han Sen frowned .

"It sounds to me like Yaksha is the emperor who has put all this in motion . Perhaps something happened to him, long ago, and now he has returned to finish the task," Moment Queen said .

"And you think we can do combat with an emperor?" Han Sen still feared the spirit .

The aqua dragon had been unable to defeat Yaksha, and Han Sen himself had only opened three of his gene locks . Hesitance and doubts as to whether he could defeat such a foe were entirely reasonable .

The only reason he had chased after Yaksha thus far was because of Bao'er's support and his newfound ability to obscure the seventh sense of others .

Moment Queen, seemingly alarmed, tried to explain the gravity of the situation in a rush . "Yaksha came out of a ding and fought a dragon immediately after, you said . He will undoubtedly be in a weakened state, and if we go after him now, we can kill him . "

"Don't forget, your spirit stone is a part of your body . You can't respawn if you fall in battle," Han Sen told her .

"I wouldn't throw away my life by challenging a foe I knew I could not hope to beat . But you said there were several creature carcasses, scattered along the way here . That in itself tells me Yaksha is weakened . Pride is a spirit's greatest shackle, and an emperor wouldn't be willing to eat such low-life creatures unless he was absolutely desperate . Before he consumes the spirit orb he is after, he'll be at his weakest . If we find him, we can kill him and take the orb for ourselves . "

Han Sen thought what she had been saying made sense, and perhaps it would be best to nip this entire mess in its bud before things could get any worse . Han Sen didn't want Yaksha to get any more dangerous . Moment Queen wouldn't needlessly risk her life, and Han Sen needed all the self geno points he could get .

"Fine . Let's check it out . " With Bao'er by his side, he felt a lot more confident .

If Yaksha was able to, he would have killed the dragon when he fought it in the subterranean labyrinth . Yaksha had suffered much damage, and it was clear he had not yet recovered his health .

Moment Queen raced through the trees, as Han Sen followed from behind .

Bao'er observed her surroundings with great interest as she clutched a bottle . She was like a puppy, swinging her head left and right to see everything she could .

Although it seemed as if she was in the biggest rush ever, Moment Queen still exercised caution . But so far, after a great distance had been traversed, nothing curious revealed itself . The signature vines of the forest were still all-present, woven between each tree, but that was it .

After crossing a distance of ten miles, Moment Queen stopped and said, "This is it . It's right in front of us . "

Han Sen stood near Moment Queen and saw a great clump of vines, all tangled together to form a sort of wall . It was rather like a wicker basket, except for its strong resemblance to a castle .

As they wondered whether or not to enter, something let out a sudden roar .

It sounded like a beast, one that used sonic powers to amplify its cries . It was so loud, they both felt as if their chests had been delivered a direct punch . They even spilt blood from their mouths .

"There is a super creature inside," Moment Queen said, as she wiped the blood from her lips .

Han Sen, wiping his own blood, saw that Bao'er was completely unharmed . She looked in the direction the noise had come from .

"Let's go!" Han Sen wanted to leave .

"Let's go!" Han Sen wanted to leave .

If there was indeed a super creature inside, there was no feasible way they could defeat it .

But, before he could turn to leave, something appeared to exit the castle . Without wasting a second, he masked their lifeforces and moved to hide in the nearby bushes .

It was a giant centipede . It looked terribly wounded, and it wasted no time scuttling out and racing off between the trees in panic .

Not long after, something else came out of the castle . It was Yaksha .

Yaksha looked to be in terrible shape, as well . His scaled-armor was entirely broken, and only a few roughed-up plates remained .

One of his arms had been almost completely severed . Only loose flaps and strings of skin connected it to his shoulder .

"Godd*mn dragon king; I'm not done with you yet!" Yaksha shouted, while holding the arm that looked ready to drop . Then he disappeared .

Han Sen froze . It was a horrible sight, seeing him in such condition, and he wondered what had occurred . From what he could guess, Yaksha had been set-up .

Moment Queen frowned and looked at Han Sen . She said, "I have heard about the existence of a certain dragon king before . If it resides inside that castle, we may have a struggle ahead of us . "

"What do you mean?" Han Sen saw Yaksha fleeing the area, and his expectations of obtaining a spirit orb had gone with him .

Moment Queen said, "Dragon King is a famous emperor of the Third God's Sanctuary, and he possesses the power of dragons . Everyone obeys him, and if he failed to reach the Fourth God's Sanctuary, I can't imagine my chances . They'd be far slimmer, to say the least . "

"Are you still going to risk entering that castle?" Han Sen asked, as he looked at the menacing construct .

"Not even Yaksha could defeat Dragon King; I doubt we'd fare any better," Moment Queen said .

Han Sen nodded . He didn't want to risk Bao'er's life by bringing her inside, either .

As they turned to leave the area, though, Bao'er leapt out of Han Sen's arms and rapidly crawled inside the castle .
