I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 424 - 399. Rare A-grade, Principle of Fruit Position Cultivation
Just as Yeli Helian's promotion had once again become stalled,
from within the shadow of a giant cage woven from branches, a man with a long knife at his waist stepped out.
The barefoot man wore black martial arts attire, his beard unkempt, and his appearance disheveled. A long scar ran across the corner of his eye, and a wildly inked "Knife" character was etched at his left eye corner.
Standing amidst the Star Sea, Yeli Helian glanced at the newcomer, one of his father, Lord Lidong's trusted servants, Dao Kui.
"Mr. Dongjun is looking for you," said Dao Kui in a relaxed tone, tossing a Light and Shadow Ball from his sleeve into the air.
A crack formed on the sphere, fracturing it and releasing a holographic image for long-distance communication.
Yeli Helian frowned slightly and looked up.
In the image, a young man appeared, sitting in a wheelchair, his grey-white hair messily covering his forehead, and his handsome face featured heterochromic eyes, one red, one blue.
His face resembled Yeli Helian's, yet he was younger, with a gentler demeanor and a gaze that was sharper and more profound.
This man was Yeli Helian's father, Lord Yeli Lidong.
However, he was now sitting in an alloy wheelchair, a light blue blanket spread over his knees, seemingly a person with a disability.
Pushed forward by a tall woman in the shadowed forest path, the wheelchair moved slowly.
The woman, with a delicate face yet expressionless, had her ink-colored hair cut in a neat Princess style, cascading over her shoulders. By the side of her right Phoenix Eye, a striking red flowing "Sword" character was carved, contributing to her cold beauty.
This woman, known as Sword Heart, was also one of Lord Lidong's trusted servants, just like Dao Kui.
The heterochromic eyes of the young man in the wheelchair lifted slightly to look at Yeli Helian. His voice, a stark contrast to his youthful appearance, was close to decrepitude, hoarse and grating, "How is it going?"
Yeli Helian briefly explained the current situation at the fortress, respectfully and with a solemn voice, "The K-side people are not easy to deal with, and the Q-side people likely have their means, but it's not a big problem, they won't escape."
"As long as you know what you're doing," the grey-haired young man nodded, his hoarse voice indifferent, "If you succeed in solidifying the Original Position, come directly to the Holy City. This assassination of Sirius will be a great achievement, and you will certainly benefit from participating."
"Yes, Father," replied Yeli Helian.
A middle-aged man bowing respectfully to a younger man and calling him "Father" was honestly a bit eerie.
But Dao Kui was already used to it; with a languid expression, he thoughtfully looked to the south, eager to act.
Outside the core area, that oblivious K-side person had already begun a killing spree.
Yeli Helian, noticing Dao Kui's expression, gestured, "Go if you want, but remember, we need them alive."
"Hey, don't worry, Helian bro," the scarred man raised his sleeve, his martial arts attire fluttering, and with a thumbs up, he cracked a grin, "I'll make sure we have a live one."
It didn't take long for Dao Kui to leave, and Yeli Helian was of course confident in this servant favored by his father.
If Dao Kui were to go all out, he could take on a Venerable and was currently the strongest warrior in the entire fortress.
"When you come to the Holy City later, remember to bring the Origin Water and the Origin Flower,"
The heterochromic-eyed youth in the wheelchair narrowed his eyes, "East Victory Fortress is no longer safe. It's time to find a new nurturing environment for the Origin Flower."
Yeli Helian nodded, his gaze shifting to the withered Origin Flower, only its roots and stems remaining. In truth, the Origin Flower in such a withered state was pretty much done for.
But for now, without any other options and with no complete Origin Flower found, they could only hope to cultivate an Origin Egg using this one.
Although the chance was slim, it was still worth a try.
And beneath the Origin Flower, within the scorched yellow soil, numerous water droplets with flashing golden light encircled the roots of the Origin Flower.
Those were the droplets of Origin Water, densely packed and spreading throughout the soil.
"The Life Roulette opens in one minute. Have you completed what I tasked you with?"
"It's done, Father," Yeli Helian waved toward the distance, and the three men and one woman standing quietly in the shadows immediately stepped forward, bowing their heads in respectful silence.
"These four are players of the ninth Life Roulette, holding a combined total of 820 Life Points. Once they enter the Life Roulette Space, they will transfer all to you, Father."
Lord Lidong's heterochromatic eyes glanced indifferently at the four individuals and he nodded without emoting, as the light and shadows quietly dissipated.
The communication was cut off.
...
After breaking through the Evil Power Barrier,
Xia Feng sensed the call of the Life Roulette Space, but he chose not to enter. Instead, he transferred the Player No. 3 identity on his Spiritual Artifact to Yue Hongli,
allowing her to enter the space in his stead.
There was no need for Yue Hongli to do anything inside; she just needed to maintain the survival of Player No. 3's identity.
Of course, with only 50 Life Points left in his No. 3 account, there wasn't much he could do anyway.
According to his senses, in the last minute, the rankings for the sacrificial stage began to change.
[Sacrificial Rankings——
Player No. 27: Sacrificed 10,031 Lost People, 99,003 People Seeking Life.
Player No. 3: Sacrificed 9,929 Lost People, 0 People Seeking Life.
Player No. 2: Sacrificed 9,900 Lost People, 33,000 People Seeking Life.
Player No. 34: Sacrificed 3,999 Lost People, 33,004 People Seeking Life.
...]
Player No. 27, who sacrificed the most People Seeking Life, reached the standard with 99,000 individuals, earning a reward of 1,000 Life Points.
Players No. 2 and No. 34 reached the threshold of 33,000 individuals, earning rewards of 300 Life Points each.
Xia Feng surmised that Player No. 27 was likely Lord Yeli Dong, with over ninety thousand People Seeking Life, corresponding to the more than one hundred thousand-strong army of White Emperor City.
As for who Players No. 2 and No. 34 were, it remained unknown.
However, it was foreseeable that Lord Yeli Dong was set to win.

But at the moment, Xia Feng was too lazy to concern himself with the Life Roulette. His only thought was to first get rid of Yeli Helian and then completely loot the East Victory Fortress!
The Lidong Army controlled two super-sized fortresses, and East Victory Fortress was one of them. Pillaging this place would be akin to emptying half of Lord Yeli Dong's assets.
More importantly, there were the various experiments and research held dear by Lord Yeli Dong.
If this fortress was to fall, who knew how long Lord Yeli Dong would grieve.
As he pondered, Xia Feng suddenly lowered his gaze, observing numerous fine red threads surging from all directions underground, converging toward the giant bird cage ahead.
"What is this?" he frowned, sensing unease.
"A Rare A-level Spiritual Clothes, the Crimson Overlord."
Mu Qingtong came to his side, her beautiful eyes serene, "The one who cultivates this Spiritual Clothes can unfold the Lord's domain, covering an area of 30,000 square kilometers. Any kin Life Forms within this domain are regarded as his subjects."
"If the subjects have feelings of fondness or gratitude toward him, even developing feelings of adoration or awe, then when these subjects die non-natural deaths, his overall strength will receive a certain degree of enhancement. The more who die, the greater the enhancement, to the extent of possibly leaping over one or two major boundaries."
"According to the laws related to 'Condensing the Original Position Method' and the 'intrinsic characteristics of the Spiritual Clothes.' Similarly, if a Spirit Master uses the Crimson Overlord as his Original Position, he must also commit extensive slaughter to solidify his position when ascending to Venerable."
"It is for this reason that the Crimson Overlord is a type of Spiritual Clothes explicitly forbidden by the Empire for cultivation, with its corresponding Spirit Paper said to have long since vanished."
"But it appears now that this is not the case."
