Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 768: Chapter 247 Sealing Broken_2

Leonard Churchill had seen it once before, so he wasn’t surprised, and instead he focused his attention on the stele.

Like the one in Upper State Prison last time, Leonard could only understand a little and translated some words with the vocabulary he could comprehend: “Sealing,” “Immortal Aegis Animals,” “God Stealer,” “Crimson Corruption”…

He hadn’t looked at it for long before he started to feel drowsy.

Having had the experience before, he immediately retracted his gaze, not daring to let himself get too engrossed in those Super Tier knowledge.

Similarly, he saw again that ancient language symbol resembling a “Snowflake✻.”

“Is it really the Plague after all…”

Barre Shepherd had mentioned last time that the former Pursuer of Light had brought up this symbol, which, combined with the thought of those vampires,

made him think that “Crimson Corruption” might refer to some kind of Plague?

Before the content he had seen in his mind slipped away, he mused to himself, “Why does it feel like a stele that recorded this history?”

This made Leonard frown slightly at the corner of his mouth.

He wanted to see some Transcendent knowledge that he could understand; after all, Catherine Carter had just looked at the stele for a while last time and comprehended Demonic Solution… There must be something extraordinary about this stele.

But it seemed that he couldn’t understand it.

Leonard glanced at Elder Clinton, who had no time to pay attention to him, and let out a soft sigh.

Since he couldn’t look at the stele, Leonard then observed the Divine Temple.

The location of the stele was near the pyramid; this was already the central area of the Divine Temple.

Eight snakes of varying shapes stood guard in the eight directions of the pyramid, like loyal guards of the prison, firmly watching over the central blood pool.

They had been guarding for thousands of years.

However, due to the Contamination of the Air with blood qi, those white marble-like God statues had been tainted with a pale blood hue.

Knowing that these were all once living beings, Leonard looked at them with a bit more respect in his eyes.

As his thoughts turned, he suddenly felt as if he was being “watched.”

Looking up, Leonard instantly felt goosebumps rise on his skin!

At that moment, he actually saw a Great White Snake coiled on the Mithril cast ceiling of the Divine Temple.

No, not an ordinary snake.

The head of the snake, as big as a truck, had horns, and Leonard recognized it immediately: the Abyss Dragon-Scaled King Serpent!

This was an ancient snake species of the Dragon Descendant bloodline.

He knew this Great Dragon because he had seen it before on Vivian White, with Elder Clinton providing the knowledge.

It is said that this King Snake can grow to a hundred meters long in its adult stage, able to swallow Great Dragons whole.

But the one on the ceiling definitely exceeded a hundred meters!

Just the part that was exposed, by Leonard’s estimation, was already more than three hundred meters long, with thick Dragon Scales, bulging muscular snake body, and an imposing presence like a mountain…

It seemed to be hibernating, coiled right in the center of the ceiling, exactly above the pyramid.

And what was miraculous was that the blood qi rising from the pyramid seemed to be absorbed by the Great Snake.

Looking at this King Snake and the other God statues in the Divine Temple, Leonard inexplicably felt relieved, but at the same time he couldn’t help but wonder, “Is this also a God statue? If so, what tier must it have been in life?”

…

King Snake (Flesh), Worm (Elements), Fox (Spirit), Three-legged Dark Bird (Mystery)…

Just corresponding to the Transcendent Four Elements.

He started to understand a bit of the White Family’s layout in this Divine Temple.

But the whole Divine Temple was there for Sealing, with nothing else of note.

Leonard looked around but decided not to touch anything recklessly.

As for those Corrupt Blood Mediators in the blood pool, he didn’t dare to tamper with them either.

Enlightenment only showed one name, and it was better to wait for Elder Clinton to finish reading the stele to deal with such incomprehensible things.

He returned to the entrance of the cave.

Seeing Leonard return, Vera Williams asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, what’s the situation inside?”

Leonard replied, “Nothing special, just a large Sealing.”

He glanced at Vera as he spoke.

The girl had been calling him by his name directly before, but now she had become polite again.

“Oh.”

Vera felt a bit guilty under his gaze but still asked, “So what do we do now?”

Leonard said, “We wait.”

With Elder Clinton observing the stele, the three of them were in a dilemma without him.

They could only wait.

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and started meditating, remembering something, he reminded, “Be careful. Those vampires might come looking in these few days.”

He always felt that things would not be so simple.

Since those vampires had blood sacrificed the entire Bolton Town, causing such a big commotion, they must be aiming to break the Sealing.

But they had also killed the X Bureau’s special agent team before, which meant that the vampires were confident in achieving their goal before the reinforcements from the X Bureau arrived.

Leonard knew the Ancient God Sect rather well.

Now, looking at the blood pool, he reckoned that those vampires would probably seek it out.

They might even be on their way already.

But with Elder Clinton there, he figured there likely wouldn’t be big issues.

It seemed he had temporarily remembered the password for his Other Identity; if there was a real emergency, he should be able to handle it.

With this thought in mind, Leonard settled into his meditation with peace of mind.

….

He meditated for a full three days.

Leonard, who could bear loneliness, found no difference in meditating anywhere.

While meditating, he tried to absorb the Extraordinary Traits that spilled into the air from the Blood Media with “Feast,” carefully metering to avoid Contamination.

However, the situation was not very good; his “weakened state” had not really receded these past days.

It had recovered to just under fifty percent before.

Now, it had only reached about sixty percent.
