Spirit Realm Chapter 533
Chapter 533: The Remains of the Voodoo Progenitor, the Evil God, and the Arrow God
The auras of Di Fei, Ka Deng, and the woman Sen Ye called A’Yue had only been exposed because the power of frost had suddenly invaded their bodies.
Dense auras surrounded each of them. Powerful earth radiated from Di Fei, sharp metal from Ka Deng, and gentle water from A’Yue.
The Demon Sealing Tombstone had been hanging high above Jia Yue’s head, searching for the ice spirit in order to seal it.
Since the ice spirit had taken over Jia Yue’s body, hijacking her soul, the Demon Sealing Tombstone was confused.
At this time, the aura of the earth, metal, and water spirits were clearly exposed.
—And the Demon Sealing Tombstone suddenly had targets.
The Demon Sealing Tombstone that originally sought to seal the ice spirit immediately changed targets. It moved away from Jia Yue, turning its focus to the earth, metal, and water spirits.
A terrifying change came over Di Fei, Ka Deng, and A’Yue.
These three had been in different places, but at this time, they started moving.
These three barbarians in the Netherpassage Realm actually flew through the air, becoming gold, yellow, and white lights that shot toward the center of the frozen lake.
The Demon Sealing Tombstone followed behind them.
Above the lake, the bloody bone dragon continued to howl mournfully. The body of the Blood Progenitor still sat atop its skull, giving off an intimidating ruby light.
At this time, Qin Lie’s group was approaching the frozen lake from one side. Ye Yihao, Huang Zhuli, Feng Yiyou, Yu Men, and Su Yan were on the side opposite to them.
Since half of them had died, the eastern barbarians had scattered and were now fleeing in every direction.
“Krik… krak!”
Jia Yue’s eyes were an icy blue. She twisted her neck, and her joints resounded with satisfyingly crisp sounds.
Jia Yue, whose soul had been taken over by the ice spirit, didn’t so much as glance at the tribesmen around her. Once the Demon Sealing Tombstone departed, she turned into an icy light and left for the frozen lake as well.
“Snap!”
Soon after Jia Yue left, the ice around Gao Yu exploded, and he calmly emerged from the resulting frost.
The white barbarians around him were not so fortunate.
Their souls had been frozen to death.
Gao Yu silently headed in the direction Jia Yue had gone, a frown on his face.
“Look!” Du Xiangyang shouted. “Down at the bottom!”
“The bottom of the lake!” Feng Yiyou shouted as well. “Look at the bottom!”

Having suppressed their earlier panic, the eastern barbarians gathered at another side of the lake. They had strange looks in their eyes as they peered into its depths.
The surface of the frozen lake had completely shattered by this point. It seemed to have been the ceiling of another world.
That ceiling had cracked, and now the Land of Buried Gods that lay within the frozen lake was exposed.
Below the cold white mist within the frozen lake, a desolate, endless plain came into view. Numerous vast, ancient palaces were strewn across that desolate plain. Some had already collapsed into ruin, leaving behind traces of a bygone era.
The bodies of enormous beings could be seen among the clusters of ancient, ruined palaces. There were giants hundreds of meters tall and skeletal remains of huge, vicious monsters of old. One could even see smaller bodies flashing with attention-grabbing lights, clearly belonging to beings that possessed high levels of intelligence when they were alive.
Long dried blood covered this desolate misty plain, forming a bizarre pattern that seemed to contain numerous mysteries.
Bodies belonging to warriors of varying races and ferocious beasts lay scattered throughout the plain, leaning against the crumbling walls of ruined palaces or half-buried in the ground. All of them looked strange.
Piled at the top of a tower of a specific palace, high up in the air, were eight enormous heads. The eyes of these heads glared at the Demon Sealing Tombstone, shocking godly light emanating from them.
“The heads of the god corpses!” Feng Yiyou shouted.
Eight headless god corpses had broken through the wards in the depths of the Land of Chaos’s major oceans. Their missing heads sat at the top of that tower.
The heads of the eight god corpses resembled blazing suns that radiated blinding hot light.
Dense power shot from the eyes of these heads, forming rays of light that shone on the Demon Sealing Tombstone.
Illuminated by these rays, the Demon Sealing Tombstone gave off a terrifying, baleful presence.
All of a sudden, Ye Yihao saw the body of a man shrouded in pitch black light. It lay there silently as he examined it, and he couldn’t help but shout, “The progenitor! That’s the body of the progenitor!”
The voodoo insects of him and Huang Zhuli didn’t bother waiting for orders, immediately flying into the air.
The Eight-winged Centipede Queen and the Black Crystal Sky Scorpion howled as they shot down into the desolate plain and toward the man’s body.
Gao Yu, having followed Jia Yue to one edge of the lake, also yelled out in shock. “The Evil God!?”

Deep within the desolate plain, the body of a man clearly from another race rested in a half-crouched position. His body was around a hundred meters tall, and his skin was bluish brown. He also had a gigantic pair of wings on his back and curved horns on his head, and his body exuded a seemingly endless evil aura.
“The Sun Killing Bow! That’s the Arrow God!” Sen Ye cried out, eyes shining with an intense light.
He was looking at an eastern barbarian with a relatively normal appearance. It was a man that, despite his mummified state, appeared to be about fifty years old. He silently sat in the middle of a ruined palace’s round altar, holding a bow covered in complex patterns.
“As expected!” Luo Chen exclaimed, his eyes growing feverish. “This is the Land of Buried Gods!”
The desolate plain at the bottom of the frozen lake stretched across a vast area, multiple run-down palaces protruding from its earth. The bodies of the Voodoo Progenitor, the Evil God, and the Arrow God, the ancestor of the eastern barbarians, could be seen. In addition to that, the heads of the eight god corpses were visible atop the tower, and the bodies of giants and skeletons of ancient beasts littered the area.
This sight made the martial practitioners gathered around the lake become excited. They wanted to charge down immediately and gather all of these remains.
Remains of the strongest existences of bygone eras were the most precious spirit materials in the world. They could be used to forge the strongest spirit artifacts, or one could directly absorb the potent power left within them.
In the hands of certain people, particularly special remains in perfect condition could even be made into someone’s second body!
If Blood Fiend Sect or Black Voodoo Sect could obtain the remains of their respective progenitors and refined them, they would immediately become terrifyingly powerful weapons.
“Qin Lie!” Du Xiangyang screamed.
The excitement welling up inside of him made it difficult for him to control himself.
Song Tingyu, Luo Chen, Pan Qianqian, Xie Jingxuan, and Xue Moyan were excited as well, their hearts beating wildly.
Just as the rumors claimed, the Land of Buried Gods held the remains of the strongest beings from ancient times. This realization brought intense gazes to everyone’s faces.
Sen Ye and the scarlet barbarians, as well as Ye Yihao, Huang Zhuli, Feng Yiyou, Yu Men, and Su Yan, couldn’t restrain themselves any longer.
At this moment, they were already sliding down the sides of the frozen lake to the desolate plain.
Luo Chen and the others looked at Qin Lie. They desperately wanted to rush down there too.
“Wait!” Qin Lie shouted, shaking his head.
Everyone stared at him in surprise. They had no idea what he was making them wait for.
“The Demon Sealing Tombstone is currently searching for the remainder of the seven spirits, and the ice spirit has yet to show itself,” Qin Lie said. “The Land of Buried Gods… it may have other strange elements we aren’t aware of.”
Qin Lie’s group looked down into the lake and realized that Di Fei, Ka Deng, and A’Yue, all of whom had reached the lake before everyone else, were nowhere to be seen.
Even Jia Yue had disappeared without a trace.
Only the Demon Sealing Tombstone remained, floating high above the Land of Buried Gods and absorbing power from the eyes of the eight god heads. Visible waves of energy rippled between the eyes and the tombstone as it used all of its power to search for the four remaining spirits.
Something in the Land of Buried Gods seemed to prevent the Demon Sealing Tombstone from sensing the spirits.
“Over there!” Luo Chen cried. “Look at Black Voodoo Cult’s two voodoo insects!”
The Eight-winged Centipede Queen and the Black Crystal Sky Scorpion had flown to the desolate plain and now arrived at the body of the man that Ye Yihao had called the Voodoo Progenitor.
The two voodoo insects bared their sharp mandibles and bit into the body of the Voodoo Progenitor.
They sought to consume the power that remained inside of it.
Everyone watched them attentively.
Suddenly, the two voodoo insects started to struggle furiously, flapping their wings in a desperate attempt to flee.
A terrifying vacuum emanated from within the Voodoo Progenitor, aiming to suck them into it. The Eight-winged Centipede Queen had bitten into the chest of the progenitor, and the Black Crystal Sky Scorpion had bitten into its neck. Both insects were sucked into the Voodoo Progenitor from these parts of the body.
Ye Yihao and Huang Zhuli had been descending toward the desolate plain, mad with joy and anticipation as they waited for their voodoo insects to transmit information to them.
Yet, the moment the voodoo insects were sucked into the progenitor’s body, extreme terror filled their eyes!
The initially robust bodies of Ye Yihao and Huang Zhuli quickly began to wither, their soul energy and blood visibly being drained from them. In ten short seconds, their skin and flesh disappeared, reducing them to a pair of dried out skeletons.
They didn’t even have the time to scream.

2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
