Chapter 929: Chapter 930: Legendary Quality_1

System: You have entered the hidden copy, Sacred Spirit Temple! To enter this hidden copy, you must possess a complete Key of Sacred Light, and each entry will damage the Key of Sacred Light. After three times, the Key of Sacred Light will disappear completely;

Song Jian, startled, took out the Key of Sacred Light to inspect it and, sure enough, a distinct crack had appeared on the otherwise smooth surface of the key;

“I can only enter three times, which means I only have three chances to complete this task. If I don’t obtain that legendary quality Heart of the Angel within three tries, will I be directly erased by the task system?” Song Jian’s expression instantly turned ugly;

“How did you end up here?” a familiar voice sounded from behind Song Jian. Turning his head, he saw it was the single-winged angel whom he had encountered before and who had been imprisoned and found innocent after a trial;

“You?” Song Jian raised an eyebrow, only to discover that this previously imprisoned angel, now acquitted, was holding a radiant blue-quality Heart of the Angel and absorbing the energy within;

“I came to the Sacred Spirit Temple to find a legendary quality Heart of the Angel. Do you know where it is?” Song Jian asked directly;

“Legendary quality…” The angel glanced at the blue-quality Heart of the Angel in his hand, a complex look in his eyes, and said, “Only after the death of an eight-winged titled angel, is there a possibility of leaving behind a Heart of the Angel of legendary quality!”

“The power contained within it is too strong for ordinary angels to absorb. Even with your Judger’s Title, it’s impossible for you to absorb the energy inside. What do you want it for?” Zhuo Wen asked with some curiosity;

“It’s just a task given by an old Goblin outside of Sky City,” replied Song Jian with a shrug, glancing around before adding, “I just need to deliver it to them, I’m not the one to absorb it!”

“Old Goblin?” Zhuo Wen frowned and said, “Aside from angels and demons, there are no other races in the City of Hope!”

Zhuo Wen felt as if he had forgotten something important, but having been imprisoned for so long, several hundred years, he was constantly struggling against dark forces, and much of his memory was no longer retrievable.

“This is the palace where the Angel Clan stores the Hearts of the Angel. In the past, with my status, I wouldn’t have been qualified to come in!” Zhuo Wen looked around and said, “But now I am the last combat angel here, and this place is completely defenseless against me. I need to use these Hearts of the Angel to quickly increase my strength and regain control of Sky City!”

Song Jian nodded and asked, “Can you help me find that legendary quality Heart of the Angel?”

Zhuo Wen’s face showed hesitation, and after a long pause, he said, “The Heart of the Angel is a treasure of the heavenly clan, and it cannot be given to other races…”

Upon hearing this, Song Jian’s face immediately darkened. He had assumed the legendary task would involve encountering a sovereign-level BOSS, and that he would receive the task item after killing the sovereign-level BOSS. But now it seemed that within the Sacred Spirit Temple, there was only Zhuo Wen, a combat angel.

Moreover, since Zhuo Wen had not been in here for long, the energy he had absorbed from the Hearts of the Angel was limited, and his current strength was at best equivalent to a 40+ level elite BOSS, not yet grown to the level of a sovereign BOSS;

Seeing Song Jian’s expression turn ugly, Zhuo Wen immediately shivered, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said, “But you have already obtained the Judger’s Title. Rightfully speaking, your status is even higher than mine. Now that the entire Angel Clan has been eradicated, I think you should have the right to claim the inheritance of the Angel Clan!”

Upon hearing Zhuo Wen’s words, Song Jian’s expression softened somewhat, and he nodded in agreement;

Zhuo Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead. The pressure from Song Jian was too great. So many angels fallen into darkness and turned into monsters, now possessing even greater strength than before, were no match for this human. As for himself, having only recently recovered some of his strength, there was no way he could be a match for Song Jian;

If I try to stop him, this human will definitely kill me and take all the Hearts of the Angel here;

“It doesn’t matter if I sacrifice myself, but the Angel Clan will be utterly destroyed with no chance of rising again!” Zhuo Wen thought darkly to himself;

Around the Sacred Spirit Temple were layers upon layers of stone steps, with pale golden wooden boxes placed on each. Every layer held numerous boxes, the lower the steps, the more boxes there were, and the fewer boxes as one climbed higher;

Song Jian saw that on the lowest steps, a few boxes had already been opened and were empty, but most were still tightly closed.

“Are all these boxes filled with Hearts of the Angel?” Song Jian asked, pointing to the dozens of wooden boxes around him;

“Yes, all the Hearts of the Angel, condensed before their deaths by angels who have perished in Sky City, are kept here.” Zhuo Wen nodded and said, “Every year, there are people who come here to pay homage, and at the same time, they select suitable ones to bestow upon other potential warrior angels!”

“The higher the status of the angel who has perished, the higher their Heart of the Angel is placed. There should only be one legendary-quality Heart of the Angel, placed at the very top!” Zhuo Wen pointed to the highest steps on the opposite side as he spoke;

Song Jian looked up, and the wooden boxes on each level of steps looked exactly alike; from the outside, there were no differences at all;

With a thought, a pair of Flame Light Wings appeared behind Song Jian’s back. With a light flap, he took off, heading toward the highest steps;

He took a wooden box and opened it – a glint of purple-gold light burst forth from the box, and a smile of joy appeared at the corner of Song Jian’s mouth;

“This is it!” Song Jian closed the box and threw it into his inventory slot, then returned to the ground;

“Alright, mission complete, I’m heading out.” Song Jian said to Zhuo Wen, “By the way, where’s the exit, and how do I leave?”

“This is a special layer of the Prayer Temple. The real Prayer Temple has seven floors in total, and only someone with a complete Key of Sacred Light can come here from the second floor. Otherwise, you can only ascend layer by layer to the top, and you can’t enter this place.” Zhuo Wen explained, “To leave from here is quite simple, you just need to activate it with Angel’s Blood!”

As he spoke, Zhuo Wen lightly slashed his own left wrist with his fingernail, and immediately, pale-golden blood flowed out, dropping onto the floor of the Sacred Spirit Temple;

Soon, the blood drop by drop merged into the floor, and Zhuo Wen’s complexion began to look a bit pale. Not long after, a pale-golden portal appeared in front of Zhuo Wen.

“If you leave through here, you can go directly to the main gate of the Prayer Temple!” Zhuo Wen said, sounding weary;

Song Jian glanced at Zhuo Wen and immediately understood – Zhuo Wen must be the guardian boss of the Sacred Spirit Temple. Although he was just an elite boss now, if a fight were to break out and Zhuo Wen couldn’t be killed quickly, he would be able to upgrade by continuously absorbing the energy from the Hearts of the Angel around him;

As the battle dragged on, Zhuo Wen’s strength would also become increasingly formidable, making him a boss that could drive players to despair.
