Hail the King - Chapter 498

Chapter 498: 498
Chapter 498: The Mythical Altar



Fei felt like his hands and the stone throne became one . As the dark-blue light grew stronger and stronger, more and more magic energy was pulled out of his body like a flood . Soon, the dark-blue light became so bright that Fei was enveloped by it .

In the next moment, Fei suddenly felt like the ground cracked, and the stone throne fell . Bam! As if he was on a turbo drop, he felt like the stone throne stopped falling after a few seconds . Soon, the blue light disappeared, and Fei was able to see things again .

“This……” Fei saw a majestic structure in front of him, and he was overjoyed!

“The Mythical Altar! Haha! This is really the Mythical Altar! Hahahahaha! I finally found it! I didn’t find it over days of hard searching, but it appeared right in front of me!” Fei laughed .
He didn’t find the Mythical Altar anywhere in this Sky City . When he was about to leave in disappointment, he somehow miraculously discovered it!

“So, the inside of this mountain and the bottom of the castle are hollow, and the Mythical Altar is situated inside of it! No wonder! The Mythical Altar is more than 1,000 meters tall, and it looks like a mountain! If I didn’t accidentally activate the teleportation arrays on this stone throne, I would never be able to find this Mythical Altar!”
Fei realized that he appeared inside the mountain with the stone throne after he activated the magic arrays on it . The inside this mountain was 60% hollow! The white stone that formed this mountain were emitting weak silver lights, and they lit up this space .

Right now, the King’s hands were able to move freely . However, he was still sitting on the stone throne . This stone throne was floating in mid-air, and Fei felt like he had the control over it . He was able to move it forward, backward, up, down, left and right at his free will .
In front of him, there was the majestic Mythical Altar .

It was more than 1,000 meters tall, and ordinary people couldn’t have created it . The craftsmanship and techniques required to build this structure were out of this world . If someone looked up at the altar from the bottom, they would feel like it was a pillar that connected with the sky . Beside this altar, there were 18 bronze warrior statues that were more than 100 meters tall each, just like what Fei saw in the image projected by [Demon King’s Wisdom] . These warriors were all Dwarf Warriors, and they looked like 18 Dwarf Kings who were enlarged by multiple folds .

Fei lowered the stone throne and started to observe this altar from the bottom up . This altar could be divided into nine levels, and each level was circular and stacked on top of each other . The diameter of each level was two-thirds of the level below it, and the ninth level was only a circular platform that had a diameter of about ten meters .
There were four sets of stone stairs on the north, south, east, and west sides of the altar . They were all four meters wide, they led from the bottom level to the ninth level on the very top, and there were 99 steps of stairs on each level . It seemed like the creator of this structure was in love with the number ‘9 . ’

After Fei got closer to the altar, he realized that there were numerous hair-thin magic engravings on it .

Fei didn’t dare to take a closer look . The magic engravings were complicated, and people who didn’t have enough Spirit Energy and Magic Energy would get their souls sucked into it if they forced themselves to look at it for a long time . Fei only took a quick peek at it, and he felt a headache and was sick to his stomach .
Fei didn’t take more detailed observations . Instead, he controlled the stone throne and flew to the highest platform on the altar . Then, he jumped off the stone throne and onto the ninth level of the Mythical Altar . He started to look for the place where the stained [Worldstone] could be purified .

Soon, the King’s eyes landed on a location .

In the center of this altar, there was a half-broken stone pillar . On top of the broken pillar, there was a thick black book . The cover page of the book was metal, and it looked strange with thorn flower-like metal decorative pieces on it . However, this book gave Fei a peculiar familiar feeling .



“Why does it look like [Demon King’s Wisdom]?” Fei finally realized why this book looked familiar to him . It didn’t matter if it was in terms of appearance or aura, this book was almost identical to the book [Demon King’s Wisdom] Fei got from that mysterious stone room . Looking from afar, they seemed like the same book .

Fei got close to it and slowly reached out for it . In the same time, he summoned the iron gloves from Diablo World just in case if there were magic traps or dangerous mechanisms protecting the book . He only let go of the breath that he was holding in after his hand grabbed onto it .

Nothing dangerous happened

“[Demon King’s Sword]?”

Fei slowly read out the name of the book that was on the cover . Suddenly, he realized why this book looked so similar to [Demon King’s Wisdom]; they belonged to the same series .
He remembered that there was a sentence written on [Demon King’s Wisdom] using the blood of a powerful master . It mentioned that Demon King His Majesty left a series of gifts including [Demon King’s Wisdom], [Demon King’s Punishment], [Demon King’s Sword], [Demon King’s Memory], [Demon King’s Wishes], [Demon King’s Calculations], and etc . Fei thought [Demon King’s Sword] was a God-tier Combat Weapon, but who knew that it was a book as well .

“What is recorded here? Why is it called [Demon King’s Sword]?”
Fei flipped open the book subconsciously, and he saw this phrase written on the first page – “We will attack anyone who isn’t our king!”

Fei recited this phrase several times in his mind, and he suddenly felt like this phrase was cool . Although it sounded ordinary, it contained unparalleled loyalty and iron will .


“It would be perfect if this phrase becomes the motto of the soldiers of Chambord!” he thought .

As he flipped to the next few pages, the expression on Fei’s face turned from surprise to shock to ecstasy……

It seemed like the language used in [Demon King’s Sword] was a combination of the words in Diablo World and the words in the real world . Both Cain and Akara had spent a lot of effort on studying this language, and they forced Fei to learn some of it as well . Therefore, although Fei was slow and stuttered a lot, he was still able to make out the content of the book .
To his surprise, this book recorded all kinds of cultivation techniques and combat techniques that Fei even never heard of before . In addition, it contained magic spells, magic arrays, engraving techniques, body strengthening techniques, spirit energy cultivation techniques, blueprints for all kinds of weapons including Combat Weapons, Semi-God-tier Combat Weapons, and God-tier Combat Weapons . It was literally a Cultivation and Weapon Encyclopedia .

Fei only saw the table of content and a first few pages, but he was already shocked to the maximum .

There were too many technical terms in the book . In addition to the complex language, there were a ton of diagrams and illustrations . Fei already got a headache after he was a few pages in, and he had to force himself to stop reading .
“This is a God-tier book that is not inferior to [Demon King’s Wisdom]! If the people on Azeroth Continent know about this, they will go crazy over it! Even the level 9 empires and the Sun-Class Lords would kill for it!”

After taking a few peeks, Fei realized the value of [Demon King’s Sword] .

“But this book is just laying here without any protection, and I didn’t encounter any danger in this Sky Castle . Therefore, it means that this book is not hard to discover . So why is it still here? The Mythical Gate had opened more than dozen times, so more than 500 masters had entered this Small World . Am I the first person who discovered this?”

Fei felt like he was dreaming when he thought about this . He couldn’t understand why he was so lucky .

Even though he was cautious and skeptical, Fei still carefully placed [Demon King’s Sword] into his storage space . After all, this type of fortune was rare, and this kind of treasure was precious . Anyone who would give it up would be an idiot .

After grabbing [Demon King’s Sword], Fei’s attention focused on the half-broken pillar that the God-tier book rested on .

The surface was rough, and it didn’t seem like someone cut it in half; it felt like someone cracked it into two parts by force . The upper half of the pillar was nowhere to be found, but the lower half of the pillar was left on this altar . There was a half oval-shaped dent on the rough surface of this pillar, and Fei thought about it, took out the stained [Worldstone], and laid it in the dent .
It was a perfect match! It wasn’t big or small! It felt like this dent was meant for this [Worldstone] to sit in . Half of the [Worldstone] was inside the pillar, and the other half of it was exposed in the air .

After Fei walked around and took more detailed observations, he didn’t spot any magic arrays or magic engravings on this half-broke pillar . He had no idea how to activate this Mythical Altar and purify the stained [Worldstone] . Suddenly, Fei thought back to the reminders Akara and Cain gave him . He returned to the stone throne that was floating in mid-air, and he controlled the stone throne and went to the bottom of the altar .
