Chen Mo looked towards the Mage in white and said, "Since the first method is so difficult, could you kindly advise me on the second method?"
"Alas! This second method is so stringent and difficult that it’s practically impossible to complete. It’s as if it doesn’t exist at all!" For more chapters visıt NovєlFіre.net
The Mage in White shook his head before even elaborating.
In his view, this second method was simply beyond the realm of possibility.
Although the success rate of the first method might not be high, there was still a chance to attempt it.
But the second method... there was not even the slightest chance of attempting it, let alone succeeding.
"If we’re talking about success rates, the second method would have a 100% success rate if it could be implemented. The real issue, however, lies in whether one possesses the ability to implement it from the start."
"Please, Senior, tell me more."
"This second method is to find ten billion sacrifices and offer them into the Underworld’s Fountain. Only then can its eruption be quelled."
"Ten billion sacrifices? What do these so-called sacrifices refer to?"
"It means ten billion units."
"Ten billion units?" Chen Mo immediately pressed, "Would summoned creatures also work?"
"They would," the old Mage in White nodded, then sighed. "But it’s useless. Ten billion units... even if summoned creatures are acceptable, it’s impossible to gather that many."
Hearing this, Chen Mo chuckled and said, "Actually, I do have a way."
"Oh?" The old Mage in White looked at Chen Mo in surprise. "That’s ten billion units, not a mere million. Where could you possibly find them?"
"Senior, you don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways. However, I must ask for your detailed guidance, Senior: if offering ten billion units stops the Underworld’s Fountain’s eruption, will that be enough to dispel the Dark Energy here?"
"Not entirely. Stopping the Underworld’s Fountain from erupting is the first step, and indeed the most critical one."
"Are there more difficult challenges to come?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.
"Not exactly. If you can truly stop the Underworld’s Fountain from continuing its eruption, I can then expend some of my Spirit and use my abilities to dispel the Dark Energy in this area."
"So, it still requires your help in the end," Chen Mo said, momentarily speechless. These people in this instance really like to speak with dramatic pauses, always leaving their sentences half-finished.
"Senior, may I ask the exact location of this Underworld’s Fountain?"
"The Underworld’s Fountain lies in the central area of this mountain range."
Chen Mo immediately opened his map to check. Nodding, he said, "In that case, Senior, please wait here. I’ll go and try to stop the Underworld’s Fountain’s eruption first. If I succeed, I will come back for you."
Just as Chen Mo finished speaking and was about to leave, the old Mage in White called out to stop him.
"Is there anything else, Senior?"
"If you go rashly to seal the Underworld’s Fountain, you will inevitably be attacked and harassed by that demon. Let me cast the Holy Heart Spell on you; it can protect you completely for six hours."
I wouldn’t really mind being attacked, but when the Heavenly Dao offers a free benefit, it would be a waste not to take it. Besides, this saves me the trouble of having to be on guard.
As the Mage in White began forming hand seals and chanting, Chen Mo suddenly felt a warmth in his chest. A sacred, warm energy erupted from his heart, spreading throughout his body and enveloping him in a protective shield.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have received the protection of the Holy Heart Spell. While the Holy Heart Spell is active, you can ignore all Dark-attribute attacks. Remaining time: 5:59:15.]
This Holy Heart Spell’s effect is quite overpowered. I wonder if I can copy it?
Chen Mo glanced at the Divine Replication Seal’s records but found no entry for the Holy Heart Spell. It seems such an overwhelmingly powerful ability isn’t a skill that can be copied.
Having received the Holy Heart Spell’s protection, Chen Mo bid farewell and departed immediately.
He executed a Divine Flicker, arriving directly at the center of the mountain range.
The moment he arrived, he sensed an incredibly potent Dark Energy constantly erupting.
The concentration of Dark Energy here was countless times greater than in the previous area.
Fortunately, he himself was of a Dark-attribute profession, and he also had the protection of the Holy Heart Spell.
Even when impacted by the intensely strong Dark Energy, he remained completely unaffected.
Upon arriving, his perception ability as a Pioneer allowed him to sense a place resembling a volcanic crater. However, instead of molten lava, it contained terrifying Dark Energy, as black as ink.
Ten billion sacrifices... under normal circumstances, that would truly be an impossible task. If he hadn’t changed his class to Dominator of the Undead, he would have had no choice but to attempt the first method. But now, with the powerful passives from being a Dominator of the Undead, combined with the extremely high Cooldown reduction from Extreme Calmness... achieving ten billion offerings would just take some time.
With a thought, Chen Mo activated the Divine Stealth Box while simultaneously casting Skeleton Summon. Instantly, a million stacked Skeleton Monsters appeared around him.
At Chen Mo’s command, they all leaped into the Underworld’s Fountain.
At the same time, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have offered one million sacrifices to the Underworld’s Fountain. Current progress toward stopping the Underworld’s Fountain’s eruption: 0.01%.]
Ten billion sacrifices truly isn’t a small number. No wonder the Mage in White said this method was practically impossible. He had summoned a million in one go, and that only accounted for 0.01% of the total. Fortunately, he had an extremely fast Cooldown. His skills would be ready again in just half a second.
