Chapter 30: The Condensation of the Holy Shadow Rune

Gunie, having returned to the small secret chamber, slowly opened his eyes.

"Hoo..."

Gunie let out a gentle breath.

Having left a star soul in Saint Haigar, Gunie could enter Saint Haigar at any time.

Being able to enter Saint Haigar without spending too much cost also greatly relieved Gunie.

Compared to the desolate and dangerous desert of Saint Haigar.

Cultivating in seclusion within this Star Observation Tower was clearly safer.

After all, in the soul memories of "Yali," that area was the edge of a battlefield, with no low danger coefficient.

Staying there, it was possible for powerful beings from the divine kingdoms to pass by, and also free mercenary warriors hunting there. Meanwhile, in the desert, there were also powerful sandworms, desert scorpions, desert black snakes, and other creatures.

"I hope the battle in a few days will have a good result."

"At the same time..." Gunie's eyes slightly凝.

"Begin to condense the Holy Shadow Rune."

Previously, Gunie's combat ability mainly came from instant powerful spells.

Therefore, condensing the Secret Pattern Spell was of utmost importance.

Now, continuing to condense Demonization Runes could no longer enhance Gunie's strength.

At the same time, after reaching ten Demonization Runes, Gunie only felt a strange wash.

Gunie currently did not know the significance of this wash, so continuing to condense Demonization Runes was unnecessary.

And with the promotion to Transcendent Master, the speed attribute began to become important.

Naturally, Gunie now needed to condense this Holy Shadow Rune.

"I wonder what special effects there will be when condensing five Holy Shadow Runes, or ten."

While condensing, Gunie pondered secretly.

When Gunie condensed Demonization Runes, he also kept track of the outside dynamics.

Not only Gunie was concerned about this battle; many powerful beings were also concerned about it.

After all, this was a battle concerning the confrontation between the strongest forces of the north and south.

Unconsciously, a week had passed.

...

"Hoo..."

Gunie slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

At the same time, pieces of gray mist scales appeared on Gunie's body.

The scales were the size of a fingernail, covering Gunie's entire body.

"The bearing capacity required by this Holy Shadow Rune is truly astonishing."

"When I first advanced to Transcendent Master, I used up all my bearing capacity. Now I am close to the middle stage of Transcendent Seventh Rank. Logically, my bearing capacity has increased a lot, but I can only condense three Holy Shadow Runes."

"But..."

A slight smile curled at the corner of Gunie's mouth.

"Condensing the second and third Holy Shadow Runes still increases my speed by about fifty percent."

"That's quite a remarkable improvement."

"When my bloodline evolves into the Death Beast Lord and I advance to the middle stage of Seventh Rank, I can basically condense five or even six."

"At the late stage of Seventh Rank, condensing ten is somewhat difficult, but after advancing to Eighth Rank, condensing ten is very easy."

"Also..." Gunie's eyes凝.

"Last night, I heard in the Blood Dream Arena that a shocking battle occurred in the church region."

"The result should be out."

"I should go find Senior Murland to learn about the battle situation."

Then, Gunie stood up and opened the Transcendent Door.

Flying all the way, Gunie soon arrived at the tower where Murland Elker lived.

When he landed at the entrance of the top floor of the tower.

Gunie saw two Transcendent Seventh Rank guards in black armor standing at the tower gate.

"Greetings, Lord Gunie."

Both guards saluted Gunie at the same time.

"Has Senior Murland Elker returned?"

"Not yet." The guard on the left replied.

"Did Senior Murland Elker leave any message about when he would return?"

"No." The guard shook his head.

After thinking briefly, Gunie was about to ask the guard to notify him when Murland Elker returned.

Murland Elker's voice already sounded behind Gunie.

"Gunie, you're here."

Gunie quickly turned around and saw Murland Elker in white metal armor.

At this moment, Murland Elker's expression was calm as usual, making it impossible to tell whether the result of this battle was good or bad.

"Senior Murland Elker." Gunie bowed slightly.

"Since you're here, come in with me."

Murland Elker waved his hand, and the forbidden gate slowly opened.

Gunie followed Murland Elker inside.

After the gate closed and the forbidden formation reappeared.

Murland Elker turned around to look at Gunie.

"The result of this battle is not good." Murland Elker sat down on the sofa, his tone quite grave.

Gunie did not dare to ask more, waiting for Murland Elker to speak.

After drinking some potions, Murland Elker pondered for a while before slowly speaking.

"You should know that among the high-level members of our Transcendent Association, some have been infiltrated."

"We were already wary of these traitors in this battle, but we didn't expect that at the critical moment of the fight, they finally showed their fangs. Cooperating with the evil gods who erupted with divine power and the semi-divine artifacts they had hidden deeply, they dealt us a very heavy counterattack."

"Semi-divine artifacts." Gunie's heart tightened slightly.

Above top-tier legendary equipment are the legendary semi-divine artifacts.

According to Gunie's understanding, even gods might not necessarily have semi-divine artifacts.

Unexpectedly, these traitors actually had semi-divine artifacts in their hands.

"That is indeed bad news." Gunie's heart also felt somewhat heavy.

"There were two traitors, maybe even more, possibly some deeply hidden traitors."

"Osman is dead." Murland Elker's tone was slightly mournful.

"Moranchi is also dead."

"Also, the Grand Duke of the Saint Ruyia Empire's Congress is dead."

"And many others were severely injured."

"Although we also killed two of them, overall, the result of this battle is not good."

"It can even be said that this attack plan was not very effective. We didn't even attack the formation that extracts the world's origin a few times."

Saying this, Murland Elker seemed to recall something and fell into contemplation.

After Murland Elker's explanation, Gunie felt much more relieved.

From the result, it was still acceptable, at least not suffering heavy losses due to the evil gods' arrangements.

But this did not reverse the situation. If things continued like this.

Those evil gods would use the world's origin to continuously integrate into this world, getting rid of the world's suppression on them.

It could be said that every time they extracted a portion of the world's origin, the power of those evil gods would increase significantly.

After pondering for a moment, Gunie spoke softly.

"Senior Murland Elker."

As Gunie spoke, Murland looked over.

"My main purpose at the Transcendent Master level now is to cultivate in seclusion and improve my strength."

"This time, I want to go into closed-door cultivation for a good period of time, directly cultivating to the Saint level. Only then can I be qualified to participate in the wars among the powerful."

"Mm." Murland nodded slightly.

"Your idea is very correct. For you, focused cultivation is the most important. After all, you and Nigel are our last trump cards and hope."

Gunie continued.

"Therefore, for a long time, unless something major happens, I hope my cultivation will not be disturbed."

"Mm." Murland nodded solemnly.

"Rest assured on this point. Since you say so, unless the enemy breaks into this Star Observation Tower, no one will disturb you."

"With Senior Murland saying that, I can rest assured."

The current situation was very deadlocked and would last for a long time.

Gunie also needed to use his special traits to take action.

Gunie himself possessed star soul means like the Dusk Star Source Code, combined with the conversion ability of the Demonization Rune.

This meant that Gunie's physical body was not afraid of death at all. Only by destroying all of Gunie's star souls could he be considered killed.

But the problem was that Gunie currently had eighteen reincarnations in hand. Killing Gunie was more difficult than reaching the sky.

Without worrying about his own safety, and with idle cultivation not requiring Gunie to actually go into seclusion.

Therefore, Gunie had made up his mind to leave the Oya Continent and go to Saint Haigar to explore well.

World Anchors, treasures that directly enhance the Transcendent Master level, semi-divine artifacts, divine artifacts, and even more powerful "Doctrines of the Arcane," etc., were all available in Saint Haigar.

When Gunie returns to the Oya Continent with gains.

Those evil gods will find it difficult to stir up any waves in the Oya Continent.
