Chapter 276: Sairsi E Blood Crow!

Inside the Steam Magical Cabin.

Ta Ke, cross‑legged on the wool meditation seat, radiated a heavy, earth‑yellow wave throughout his body.

At this moment, Ta Ke was fully immersed in the insight of the Earth Rune's profound meaning.

One week ago.

Ta Ke followed Ya Bohan and others, boarding a merchant's private airship under the pretense of escort, and arrived at Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport.

Ta Ke and the others came to become pirates.

And to be a pirate, the first rule is—you must have a sea demon ship!

Otherwise, everyone ends up dog‑paddling in the sea, losing face before even setting sail, completely wiped out.

Originally, the Blood Edge Sky Island Group also possessed a fleet of sea demon ships.

But after the Blood Edge Sky Pirate Group was annihilated by the Blood Waterfall Pirate Group of the Nine Demon Sea,

the Blood Edge Sky Pirate Group's sea demon ships vanished without a trace.

Ya Bohan now cannot reach anyone at all.

Now Ta Ke and the others have come to this Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport.

They must start with a sea demon ship.

These past days, Ya Bohan and Dr. Stan Li have been busy with matters concerning the sea demon ship.

Meanwhile, Ta Ke has been diligently cultivating inside the Magical Cabin while also preparing for his promotion to the fourth tier.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by the rapid contraction of earth‑yellow light.

Having halted his cultivation, Ta Ke kept his eyes tightly shut, carefully feeling the results of his rune insight over the past few days.

After a long while, Ta Ke finally exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and the lingering resonance of the Earth Rune's wave gradually faded.

"In a few more days, the Earth Rune will be close to condensing into the double‑ring state."

"Once the Earth Rune has condensed into the double‑ring state, its Rune Earth Turtle Shell defense will increase dramatically, and my defensive methods and abilities will also improve considerably."

"Also…"

Ta Ke gently rubbed his palm.

"Having reinforced the Earth Rune in its double‑ring state, the six‑star forbidden spell can now be passed down."

"With such a powerful forbidden spell, one can have the capital to secure a livelihood on this vast sea."

"After all… the ocean up there is extremely chaotic…"

Taking a deep breath, Ta Ke looked through the cabin's huge floor‑to‑ceiling magical window and fixed his gaze on the city district of Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport below the hillside.

Along the coastline, countless ports housed an astonishing number of sea vessels of all sizes.

Of course, there were also plenty of steel‑steam leviathans.

These steel‑steam leviathans can somewhat maintain order in Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport, but evidently they are insufficient.

Last night, another death‑defying pirate crew raided a merchant convoy's ship at Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport, looting a large amount of resources.

The commotion lasted most of the night before finally calming.

And this was already the third merchant convoy raid Ta Ke had encountered within just one week of arriving at Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport.

Moreover, when Ta Ke went to a tavern below the hill yesterday, he heard that some powerful pirates even plan to directly rob the bank of the Principality of Sairiangs!

Here, facing the sea, within Silver Star Fan Steam Frostport.

Chaos and order exist in a perfect interactive state.

The pirates' arrogance is far from trivial.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke took a deep breath and gradually restrained the matters of Earth Rune and forbidden spell inheritance.

At that moment.

"Caw—caw… caw—caw…"

A low‑pitched raven screech rang clearly beside Ta Ke's ear.

Ta Ke only felt a raven's shadow flicker before his eyes.

Ta Ke turned his head and looked toward the corner of the Steam Magical Cabin.

About a cubic meter in size, a seal‑cast stone of iron‑blue rock was gently trembling.

Inside it was the seal of a "Death‑grade" forbidden seal, the Sairsi E Blood Crow.

His gaze lingered on the iron‑blue seal stone for a few seconds.

A tingling, prickly sensation quickly spread up his arm.

Ta Ke opened his Blood‑Shadow Witch Robe and looked.

He saw black feathers sprouting on his arm, and within a few breaths they covered half his arm.

Even his body began to sprout black feathers that brushed outward.

If other super‑normals faced such a terrifying death‑grade forbidden seal disturbance,

the inexplicable calamity appearing on their bodies would cause them to flee in terror at once.

But Ta Ke felt no fear—instead, he was delighted.

"This omen has finally arrived."

Indeed!

Ta Ke placed the seal of the "Death‑grade" forbidden seal Sairsi E Blood Crow beside himself, hoping this death‑grade omen would manifest sooner.

A few days before leaving the Saintland Supernatural City-State.

Ta Ke re‑anchored the forbidden seal site of Saintland.

He carried out a rapid sweep for over forty days.

Plus the over sixty forbidden rule fragments Ta Ke had previously kept.

Ta Ke had accumulated a total of 686 'forbidden rule fragments'.

A portion of them was used to resolve the issue of the forbidden curtain stage.

Meanwhile, naturally, they were to be used to solve Ta Ke's problem of raising the forbidden crow.

After all!

This is the 'Sæls Èxuè Wūyā' that can easily bring death.

Even high-level transcendents cannot afford to raise it.

Ta Ke wanted to raise the crow, but first had to suppress the 'Sæls Èxuè Wūyā's' negative rule.

But wanting to use forbidden rule fragments to upgrade the 'Sæls Èxuè Wūyā'.

Then Ta Ke and the forbidden sealed object needed to interact.

Ta Ke could of course directly release the Sæls Èxuè Wūyā, but the problem is that would be too dangerous.

Thus Ta Ke adopted the simplest method.

Place the Sæls Èxuè Wūyā's sealed form aside, waiting for its forbidden trait to permeate.

The permeation of the forbidden rule trait will produce an effect, but it will not be lethal.

Thus, after Ta Ke receives a certain effect, he can upgrade the Sæls Èxuè Wūyā and then complete the interaction.

The affected Ta Ke quickly opened the system attribute panel.

【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】

Positive rule: 741

Negative rule: 544

Individual rule traits between 300 and 1000 are death-tier.

300 is the death-tier threshold.

And both standards of the Sæls Èxuè Wūyā far exceed the threshold.

This also means that the 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】 belongs to the kind that can bring terrifying death calamity while also bestowing fate's favor.

Unfortunately!

The death calamity is too terrifying.

Before even finishing feeding this 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】, transcendents would be devoured by it first.

Watching his whole body, black feathers grew more and more, an ominous sign imminent.

"Add points!"

Ta Ke began frantically adding points to the negative rule of the 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】.

As long as I add points fast enough, the death calamity's pace cannot catch up to me.

The up to 686 forbidden rule fragments gave Ta Ke enough confidence to suppress the death-tier forbidden calamity.

Soon, the 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】's negative rule, which could reach up to 544, was reduced by Ta Ke all the way down to 99.

After crossing the 300-point death-tier threshold, Ta Ke's black feathers and the surrounding atmosphere of ominous calamity nearly solidified, no longer growing but also not weakening.

Ta Ke continued adding points.

The negative rule kept decreasing.

At the same time, the death-bringing calamity power gradually began to weaken.

Upon crossing the 100-point 'danger-tier' threshold and entering the 'micro-spirit tier'.

The death calamity's gaze quickly dissipated.

At this point, the 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】 had completely changed.

【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】

Positive rule: 741

Negative rule: 99

……

While the positive rule is strong, the negative rule is quite weak.

But 99 points will still bring Ta Ke considerable misfortune when raising the forbidden crow.

With that in mind, Ta Ke continued adding points in one go.

He invested another 60 points.

Bringing the negative rule down to 29 points.

30 points of negative rule is already a 'harmless tier' that cannot even reach the harm of the micro-spirit tier.

Basically it will not cause Ta Ke any harm.

【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】

Positive rule: 741

Negative rule: 29

At this moment, upon reviewing this 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】, Ta Ke felt completely at ease.

"As expected, the system's point allocation is still fierce!"

As the danger completely dissipated.

Ta Ke began to examine the new feeding regulations of the forbidden creature 【Sæls Èxuè Wūyā】 that he had frantically upgraded.
