Cursed Immortality

Chapter 822  Another Universal Godly Scripture!

"Who are you?" The woman didn't answer Jacob's question; she sneered, "Someone you don't want to mess with. Now, leave while I'm being reasonable and tell whoever sent you if they dare to continue coming after me, I'll start a massacre in the entire Path of Legend. I don't care if you're from the middle or even upper galaxies. As long as we are in the Path of Legend, no one will come to save you!"

Jacob was momentarily speechless, as he could tell this woman was too full of herself. But after their brief exchange, he knew she had the power to back her claims. Nonetheless, the more she spoke, the more Jacob became confused about her background, and now he wondered if she was even from the middle galaxies.

Nonetheless, Jacob needed the Cosmic Vestige of Capricorn, and after witnessing her prowess, he also started to believe that she might've cleared the Star King Difficulty trial. This means she might also have a Legendary King State treasure or legacy and an ascension permit.

Although Jacob didn't care about the ascension permit anymore since he already had two, the legacy or treasure of a Legendary King State Rank was another story, and he knew she couldn't use both. The former was because she didn't have time to study it, and the latter was because it required a vast amount of resources and soul force. She was in a similar situation to him.

In the end, Jacob has no reason to leave as his flaming eyes contracted as he uses, 'Slumber Hex!'

Jacob had already realized her dark magic was quite strange and troublesome, so he decided to use the hex to see if it worked on her since he didn't see or sense any presence of legendary treasure on her at that moment.

The woman standing on the branch of the tree suddenly sensed something amiss the moment Jacob cast his slumber hex on her, and she felt lethargic before her eyes began to close.

Jacob instantly knew it had worked and quickly vanished from his spot. He was about to grab her by the neck when his instincts suddenly rang in alarm. Without hesitation, a huge lightning aura blast occurred under his feet as he made his distance between them. But as he was blasted away, his hand suddenly touched her hood, which was lifted!

The next moment, the woman's figure suddenly exploded with eerie dark flames, and the tree she was standing on was instantly obliterated.

Jacob was shocked when he sensed that those dark flames weren't some variation of fire magic but some kind of ability, and they seemed as powerful as his own magic—even more power, maybe!

But the main point was that she had broken his Slumber Hex instantly, and he knew the Hex was successfully cast because his Hex mana was used. This also proved another point: this woman wasn't a Fable Legendary Rank Being.

However, this only makes her even more terrifying in Jacob's view because no one has ever managed to break his hex before, not to mention in an instant.

Nonetheless, while Jacob was reevaluating the woman's prowess, she was also doing the same, and she was even more terrified because of the Slumber Hex that worked on it. Because she was immune to all Soul Attacks, even Fable Legendary Rank's soul attacks wouldn't work on her.

Yet Jacob's 'soul attack' not only worked on her, but she also had to use the foundation of her entire existence that triggered her automatically to break free from it. She had never experienced anything like this before, and if she had only thought of Jacob as another powerful idiot who was after her treasures, now she completely acknowledged him as an equal opponent who could really harm her!

The pitch-black flames surrounding her entire body instantly retracted, but her face was no longer hidden, as her hood had been lifted off.

Her face was the embodiment of ethereal beauty, yet touched with an aura of darkness that set her apart from anything mortal. Her skin was pale, almost luminous, as though it absorbed the surrounding light, making her seem like a figure carved from the moon itself. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her delicate features were flawless, and her perfect symmetry transcended beauty, yet there was something otherworldly and intimidating about her presence.

Her eyes were the most striking—twin orbs of pitch-black, bottomless and endless like the void of the cosmos. There was no reflection, no glimmer of light in those eyes; they seemed to absorb everything, pulling in anyone who dared meet her gaze into an abyss of eternal night.

Her gaze was intense and unsettling, as though she could peer into the deepest corners of one's soul, where the darkest secrets lay hidden.

Her hair cascaded down her back like strands of pure night, blacker than shadows, gleaming faintly with a subtle, ethereal sheen. It flowed as though alive as if the strands themselves were woven from darkness, constantly shifting like a slow, flowing river of midnight.

When the light touched her hair, it shimmered with hints of starlight as though the cosmos had lent its brilliance to her.

Her lips were a deep, dusky hue, accentuating the quiet power of her beauty. She radiated an aura of dark allure—regal, untouchable, yet drawing all eyes irresistibly toward her.

Her presence was magnetic, but her beauty contained a warning, a promise that stepping too close to this dark goddess would mean surrendering to the very shadows she embodied.

In every line of her face, in the depths of her dark, hypnotic eyes, she was darkness personified—beautiful, enchanting, and dangerous.

At this moment, when Jacob landed on another tree, his eyes never left her. When he saw her face, he was momentarily stunned by her charm, but he quickly became Stoic again.

Although her beauty was unmatched, Nyx's appearance wasn't lost on her in any way, and he was already immune to this kind of thing because of Nyx. Furthermore, ever since he had seen Nyx's appearance, he knew higher level beings had strange charm and those with weak mentality would instantly surrender themselves. Even his appearance was like this.

As he looked at her with the same icy yet vigilant gaze, she also didn't avert her eyes, afraid he would use another 'soul attack.'

However, when she noticed that her face was revealed and Jacob didn't seem to be bothered by it at all, she was astounded because whoever saw her face would always have two reactions, either terror or reverence, and she could sense those feelings.

But Jacob has neither as if she was just a frame of bones!

She realized this person was nothing like anyone she had encountered throughout her journey, and without hesitation, she used a command with her thought, "Old Chaos! What is the deal with this guy?!"

The next moment, on her pale glabella, a symbol like a black hole with an ethereal white glyph appeared, and it seemed to swirl in the center of this black hole.

The moment the symbol appeared, an ethereal voice rang in her mind, "If you want my advice, then get away from him. I can't see through him!"

"What?!" The woman was shocked, as this was the first time she had heard this kind of response from this voice.

However, the woman and the voice failed to notice that the black hole symbol, which should be invisible under everyone's gaze, was completely visible in Jacob's eyes, and the white glyph was also readable.

With Jacob's excellent vision, he thought it was some attack when he noticed that black hole symbol with a white glyph emerging on the woman's glabella. But when he saw the tiny white glyph, his body trembled because it read…

'Chaotic Darkness!?'
