Cursed Immortality

Chapter 787  The Earth Guardian's Chamber

Jacob remained baffled for a little while when he thought about what had just happened. Not only he wasn't able to get the Earth Fruit of Vitality, but he wasn't even allowed to touch it before he went to the next level.

For some reason, this left a sore taste in his mouth and made him somewhat resentful. After all, he expects to get that fruit as a reward for his labor and all those atomic bombs he had used.

If anything, he hoped to get at least a seed of Earth Tree of Vitality so he could nurture his own, yet the tower didn't allow it.

Jacob knew that fruit was extraordinary. Not only did it have a huge amount of vitality, but he felt pure soul force in it when it was fully ripped. He knew that if he could eat it, his soul force might quantitatively increase or undergo some changes.

Yet, the tower was even more vicious than he had thought, and he felt anger. However, he quickly calmed down when he considered his purpose. He had already decided to search for treasures like the Earth Tree of Vitality in the future.

After calming down, Jacob looked around and saw he was standing in a massive stone chamber. It was plain without any decoration, but it wasn't empty, as his eyes fell onto something. He saw a colossal stone statue about fifty-meter-tall standing at the heart of this level like a guardian. Its body was adorned with intricate carvings, and he held two battle axes in his hands.

Just as Jacob observed it, suddenly, the lifeless eyes of this stone statue glowed with an otherworldly light, and a powerful pressure was released from him. Jacob instantly felt a sense of danger. He quickly opened the cursed immortality, as he had already thought about what this level was about; he just wanted to confirm it.

"Level Five: The Earth Guardian's Chamber

"Challenge: Defeat the Earth Guardian without sustaining fatal injuries!"

'I knew it…' Jacob could only sigh.

At this moment, his soul force was almost exhausted, and despite not having any physical exhaustion, he still felt tired. This was the most disadvantageous aspect of soul force.

Furthermore, Jacob had already guessed the tower had no intention of giving him any time to catch his breath or recover his soul force.

Now, he needed to defeat that Earth Guardian without sustaining any fatal injuries, and from the pressure the Earth Guardian was releasing, Jacob knew that guy was far more powerful than a quasi-legend—he may even have a fable legendary rank!

If he was in his top condition, he could've easily defeated this Earth Guardian as long as it wasn't a Fable Legendary Rank; even now, it was possible. But now, he needed to replenish his soul force, and since this level didn't have any time limit, he was planning something hazardous.

But he had no choice since there were still two more levels left after this, and he felt they would be no less dangerous, especially the final level. So, he was willing to take this risk.

Furthermore, he had some spirit tree nectar that could evaluate one soul, but it was far from enough to current him. But it was still better than having nothing. At this moment, the Earth Guardian's two glowing eyes, like orbs of pure energy, scanned the chamber, searching for its opponent, and Jacob instantly felt a powerful sense locked on him.

The next moment, the Earth Guardian moved like a lightning streak, and in the blink of an eye, it was already upon Jacob, swinging its gigantic battle axe at him. Alarmed, Jacob instantly dodged it.

"Boommm…"

When the axe landed on the spot where Jacob was standing, a huge explosion occurred, and the entire stone chamber trembled under its might. Jacob's expression was grave because he could tell that force was not something a quasi-legend could display.

He was now sure that this Earth Guardian's physique was at least of fable legendary rank or not far from it. He would only hope that it didn't have soul force or that his plan would fail before it began.

The Earth Guardian instantly sensed he had missed the target, turned around, and found Jacob standing hundreds of meters away.

"Slumber Hex!" Jacob instantly used the slumber hex to put this guy to sleep and buy himself time to recover.

The hex mana naturally followed after the infinity pendant's storage space had increased to 10,000 cubic meters. Before, he couldn't use his hexes on three steps of legends because the hex mana wasn't enough.

But now, he can curse two fable legendary ranks with this much hex mana, and the duration of his hexes has already increased. But he must also replenish it with an equal amount of dark magic cores. However, in this situation, he didn't care about it at all.

But at this moment, Jacob's expression changed because despite casting the slumber hex on the Earth Guardian, he felt the hex missed the target, and no mana was used.

Before he could even figure out what had happened, the Earth Guardian moved again, and this time, his battle-axes shimmered with an emerald aura like blazing fire.

Jacob knew the Earth Guardian was now using an aura, which would make this attack hundreds of times more powerful. The aura was strong enough to pin down any quasi-legend on the spot.

Even Jacob had to use his full strength to dodge it!

"Boommmm…." Another massive explosion rang akin to a white sun missile explosion, causing a powerful tremor! "Slumber Hex!" Jacob used the hex again, this time before the Earth Guardian could react, yet to his shock, it missed again!

But this time, the Earth Guardian seemed to be prepared, and at this moment, emerald energy orbs started to appear around Jacob like bubbles. Jacob's expression changed because those energy orbs were none other than aura!

He had never seen something using aura like this before, but he didn't have to analyze this strange spell because a sense of dread washed over him as more and more of those aura orbs appeared.

Jacob knew he couldn't touch them, and he wanted to distance himself from them, but they were all over the chamber, and the only place there wasn't any was close to the Earth Guardian.

At this moment, the Earth Guardian's eyes shimmered, and those aura orbs released powerful undulation before…

"Boom…boom…boom…"

They started to explode one after another, and their explosion was as powerful as ten atomic grenades!

The entire stone chamber trembled under those explosions, and when the final explosion concluded, Jacob's figure appeared again. His clothes were in tatters, but he was not physically harmed.

But rage burns in his flaming eyes with a hint of astonishment, 'So, the aura can be used like this, huh? It seemed I had neglected aura and spirit while researching other things…. This trial is revealing more and more interesting things. It seemed I needed to endure more!'
