Chapter 497 - The Fourth Layer of Seal (2)
Chapter 497: The Fourth Layer of Seal (2)
There were only four more layers of the seven seals to be undone. With one layer undone, only three remained to be unlocked. Naturally, Shen Yanxiao was intrigued about that.
Anyways, she had been stuck there for so long. What was one day more?
“Very well. Let’s undo the seal now.” Shen Yanxiao sat on the ground with her legs crossed. She waited for the painful sensation that always came when they undid a seal.
However, just as she prepared herself, darkness enveloped her vision, and she lost consciousness.
Xiu, the being in Shen Yanxiao’s mind, had knocked Shen Yanxiao out again.
The host would always feel an enormous amount of pain as they undid a layer of the Seven Star Moon Seal. One would barely feel it with the first layer, but it would only grow with each layer. When they undid the second layer of the seal, the pain had exceeded Shen Yanxiao’s threshold. So, Xiu preferred her unconscious while he undid the next level so that she would not inflict any harm unto herself to counteract the pain.
The pain would not torture her if she were asleep. Shen Yanxiao did not know he had planned that for her.
Shen Yanxiao slept for a long time, and she only woke up gradually.
Her entire body was in pain as if she was in pieces. Her head buzzed, and amid all those horrible feelings, she noticed something awfully comfortable in her body.
The battle aura and magical power in her body were more active than usual.
Shen Yanxiao stood up and lowered her head to look at her soaked clothes, and then her mouth twitched.
The same thing happened again. Last time, she had passed out when Xiu undid the third layer of the seal. It was no different then.
When she woke up, she realized that she was drenched in sweat. She could only imagine how much pain she must have been in when she passed out.
However, she had not felt any pain at all, so that was convenient!
She stretched like a cat, and then she checked her battle aura and magical power; they were more profound than before.
It was unfortunate that she did not have the Aura Stone there. Otherwise, she would be eager to test and see if she had reached the advanced level in her profession.
After all, she was already at the peak of the intermediate level, and she had been there for quite some time. Since she had accumulated so much battle aura and magical power, perhaps she could experience a rapid advance.
“Are you ready?” She heard Xiu’s voice.
“Yes, I am.” She knew Xiu referred to the magic array.
“This might hurt a little.” Xiu cautioned her.
Shen Yanxiao nodded. During their fight with the Phoenixes, Xiu’s appearance had overwhelmed her with pain. However, she was prepared for that.
Fortunately, the pain that she anticipated did not appear. She felt a minor sting, but it was nothing like what she had felt last time.
Soon, Shen Yanxiao felt air swarmed out from her chest. The faint mist formed a human shape that looked as if it enveloped the petite Shen Yanxiao.
It was like Xiu embraced her in his arms.
The human-shaped mist floated Shen Yanxiao into the air.
A series of tremors rocked the quiet hall, and the strong pillars shook. Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She would leave everything to Xiu.
The wind blew past her ears as Shen Yanxiao felt a strong force pull her upward.
She closed her eyes tightly, a reaction due to the momentum A moment later, everything returned to normal. Shen Yanxiao felt her feet on the ground, and she immediately opened her eyes. A glaring light spilled over her as she looked at the clear blue sky with white clouds.
“Finally, I am out!”
