Night of Despair-Chapter 448: Deep inside 446, Second

Time ticks by slowly.

One day...

Two days...

Three days...

Snap.

Yu Hong enters the Main Control Room alone and closes the door behind him.

"Yiyi, keep an eye on the entrance for me and report anything unusual immediately."

"Understood." Yiyi’s voice comes from outside.

Yu Hong glances at the nuclear reactor, which has now transformed into a large silvery-gray can, with numerous silvery-gray pipes extending outward from its surface.

One of the main pipes even has Yiyi’s skirt and underwear hanging on it.

He averts his gaze, reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a bottle the size of an egg.

This is the enhanced Moist Wood Liquid.

Since it was freely enhanced, he isn’t sure what effects it might produce.

Previously, with Ku Chan and Yiyi around, it wasn’t convenient for him to take it out. Now, under the pretext of checking and maintaining the main control equipment, he finally has the chance to examine it thoroughly.

Accompanying the small bottle, there is also a white paper instruction manual.

As before, Yu Hong picks up the manual and glances over it.

’Isina Golden Ancient Tree Juice: This product is collected from one of the five Golden Ancient Trees in the Elf Empire of Isina, specifically the tree sap from the tips of the branches. It greatly enhances eyesight, nourishes the eyes, and permanently grants multiple enhancements.’

’For first-time users, one of the following effects can randomly be gained and solidified:

1—Gain single-layer material x-ray vision.

2—Gain a passive talent Strong Strike (Strong Strike: Significantly increases accuracy with all ranged weapons.)

3—Gain the Call of the Elf Ancient Tree (Creating a healing aura with a radius of one hundred meters around the user. Staying within the aura for one hour heals all minor injuries. Staying for two hours heals all moderate injuries. Severe injuries cannot be healed.)

4—Receive a substantial enhancement in the practice of Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture (One drop of the original juice satisfies the energy needs of any layer below the Sixth Layer of the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture.)’

"Hmm..." Yu Hong’s eyes lock onto the last option,

"Relying on luck again? No wonder it took over three days to enhance; these effects are truly hit or miss…"

However, he doesn’t use it immediately. Instead, he stretches out his hand and gently places it on the wall, silently intending,

’Enhance the security facility. Direction: Improve stealth camouflage functionalities.’

A Black Mark flashes on the back of his hand.

Feedback comes quickly.

’Enhance the security facility?’

A countdown also emerges on the wall: ’2 days 11 hours 07 minutes’.

’Yes.’

Yu Hong confirms without any hesitation.

Shortly after, the wall flickers, and the countdown begins to emit a faint red glow, starting the timer.

He sighs in relief and finally takes out the Eye Drops.

’They should be called Golden Tree Juice now,’ he observes the bottle.

The previously standard eye drop bottle has turned into a pure translucent crystal bottle the size of an egg.

The bottle is filled with a beautiful, faintly glowing pale gold liquid.

It appears to have a high viscosity; as he gently shakes it, the liquid flows slowly, clinging to the glass.

Gently unscrewing the cap, Yu Hong aligns it with his right eye.

Soundlessly, a drop of golden liquid falls into his eye socket.

Sizzle!

Instantly, a golden halo radiates from his eye, swiftly spreading outwards, illuminating the surrounding area by over a meter in gold.

The golden glow continues for several seconds before slowly dimming and extinguishing.

A warm, comfortable sensation envelops Yu Hong’s entire right eye.

Simultaneously, the Black Mark provides timely feedback.

’You have gained the trait: Call of the Elf Ancient Tree.’

"....."

Yu Hong sets down the bottle and notices that all of the Golden Ancient Tree Juice inside has turned colorless, losing its previous golden hue.

He pours some out and sniffs it; it’s just like water, clear and without any peculiar smell.

"Only usable once? What a loss..." he checks the manual again.

This Call of the Elf Ancient Tree primarily produces a healing aura that spans a hundred meters, effective in treating minor to moderate injuries.

"Isn’t this just a healing aura?"

Yu Hong is somewhat disappointed; what he most wanted was the final effect, a targeted enhancement to the Chaotic God Heavenly Eye Scripture.

"Never mind, a healing aura isn’t so bad right now."

With a thought, a streak of gold flashes across his right eye.

In the next instant, a golden ring of light, centered on his right eye, rapidly spreads outward, passing through the walls and quickly covering the entire security facility.

But after covering the entire facility, Yu Hong inwardly commands it to stop.

Indeed, the golden aura stops just at the boundary of the security facility, not expanding any further.

Ku Chan, who is washing clothes at the moment, feels a warm sensation heating up the wound on his chest.

He puts down his cloak, stands up, and checks the wound on his body, surprised to find the wound visibly closing, knitting, and healing.

A wound as long as a finger disappears completely under his gaze in less than five seconds.

"What is this warmth?" Yiyi also rushes up from the basement, looking around for something.

"It’s me." Yu Hong steps out, calm, "I’ve been studying an Array that can heal injuries and restore health. I’ve just successfully set it up in the security facility, no need to be alarmed."

Ku Chan and Yiyi looked at each other in shock.

However, as the Alliance Hierarch of the Spirit Light Alliance, it was true that Yu Hong often brought out some strange artifacts and was researching Arrays and runes. Therefore, this explanation was plausible.

"How long do we still need to stay here?" Ku Chan asked. "Either we explore the way to Heaven, or we find a way to retreat and leave this place. Staying put is not an option."

"I am already repairing it; don’t worry, as soon as the whole safehouse recovers its mobility, everything will be easy to handle. Or did you think you could withstand that kind of big hand’s grasp if you went out?" Yu Hongdao said.

"...Can we have a specific time?" Ku Chan asked.

"Wait a few more days, I am going to strengthen the safehouse’s concealment abilities to avoid detection. I’ve already started making adjustments and enhancements." Yu Hongdao replied.

"Alright..." Ku Chan sighed softly, "I’ll go Cultivate."

"Ku Chan, you haven’t finished washing your clothes," Yiyi reminded from the side.

Ku Chan’s footsteps paused, then he turned to sit on a small stool and continued to wash his cloak.

Yiyi then began to prepare an upcoming dinner for the three of them.

Canned vegetables, canned beef, and heated instant rice. Everything was ready-made, she just needed to boil water for a seaweed and rib soup.

In just a few days, everything had become orderly under her arrangement.

Yu Hong didn’t look further but walked to a peephole, slightly pulling open a slit to peer outside.

Outside.

The distant palaces of Heaven were still silent, as if devoid of life.

But there was a change in the nearby Cloud Sea.

A huge Immortal Crane, with a body covered in silvery white, was standing to the right side of Heaven, bowing its long beak to peck something below.

This Immortal Crane was unbelievably large; each time it lifted its head from the Cloud Sea, its beak was filled with densely packed, squirming black creatures.

Yu Hong, with better eyesight than before, noticed at a glance that those black creatures were all Black Giants, struggling frantically.

The Black Giants’ limbs extended out of the bird’s beak, twisting madly, trying to break free.

But with a tilt of the giant crane’s head, they were gone.

Suddenly, dozens of Black Giants were swallowed whole.

’This place....’ Yu Hong watched with a startled heart.

Although in his current complete state, he could play with Black Giants as toys to kill, they had just arrived here for a short time to encounter such powerful creatures.

And most crucially, he was in a very poor state. The Tai Ling Skill could not absorb Light Disaster’s power, and the Spirit Light Secret Skill was virtually crippled. If he encountered this creature, he would probably only be able to rely on the safehouse to take a hard hit.

Pitter-patter...

Suddenly, a sound of raindrops came from outside.

Yu Hong slightly adjusted his viewpoint and looked upward.

Above the Cloud Sea of Heaven, it was now faintly permeated with a tinge of gold.

Countless golden raindrops showered down, hitting the ground.

Bam!

Suddenly a drop of golden rain hit the safehouse.

The entire safehouse shook violently, as if struck by a powerful beast.

Yu Hong, looking at the peephole completely covered by the golden liquid, blocked, could no longer see what was happening outside.

He sighed, completely closed the peephole, and returned to his chair.

He finally began to practice the Tai Ling Skill.

Since they had already reached the depths of a Spirit Disaster, he openly planned to supplement the Spirit Disaster part of the Tai Ling Skill to balance the subsequent layers of Cultivation Techniques.

To avoid the dominance of the Light Disaster.

After completion, he could continue to break through further.

After practicing for a while, Yiyi woke him up to have a meal together; while Ku Chan did the dishes, Yiyi also discovered the golden liquid on the window.

She curiously scooped up a full spoon of it.

"What is this? Why is it gold?"

"I don’t know... It’s rain from the Spirit Disaster, it might not be something good," Yu Hong warned.

"Should I throw it away?" Yiyi obediently extended the spoon out, ready to dispose of it.

"Wait." Suddenly Yu Hong thought of something, stood up, and walked over.

He took the spoon and carefully observed the golden liquid inside.

The liquid was very clear, not very concentrated, and seemed no different from regular water. The color being gold was the only exception.

He fell silent and then dipped his finger lightly into the spoon.

At the same time, he ran the Tai Ling Skill.

The method to cultivate the remaining Source Disaster in the Tai Ling Skill was the same as before, needed to be practiced from the beginning, the first layer, one more time. However, since he had already experienced the first cultivation, the second round would be much faster.

Ultimately, to train the second type of Source Disaster Power to the Sixth Layer and maintain parity with the Tai Ling Skill of Light Disaster would balance the effects.

Yu Hong had just started practicing the first layer.

As the Cultivation Technique turned, suddenly with the tap of his finger covered in golden water, a strong aura of Spirit Disaster Radiation surged in.

The power of the Spirit Disaster was not as chaotic as that of the Black Disaster, but it was mixed with countless spiritual fluctuations of the Spirit Disaster’s main bodies.

If the radiation energy of the Black Disaster could be considered as ink, then the radiation energy of the Spirit Disaster would be a pile of crushed stones, containing many kinds of spiritual will, none compatible with each other.

Luckily, at this moment, Yu Hong’s realm in the Tai Ling Skill was already very high, making this easy to resolve.

He forcefully suppressed the mixed wills in the golden rain with his own spiritual fluctuations, crushing each one, then absorbed them bit by bit using the Tai Ling Skill.

Before long, the golden liquid on Yu Hong’s fingertip gradually diluted and disappeared completely.

His eyes faintly brightened as he felt the Tai Ling Skill within him begin to swell once again.

Although it was only the Inner Strength of the first layer, and moreover, this time the Inner Strength was different from before.

Previously it was dark red; now it was light gold, just like the rainwater.

Additionally, apart from the Inner Strength of the Tai Ling Skill, there was also a strangely wonderful and cool energy, like silken threads, emerging from nowhere within his body.

As soon as this force appeared, it caused the golden Divinity lightning on Yu Hong’s body to stir violently.
