《Dragon's Soul》Chapter 273: Crimson World Sealing Jar
Advertisement
A rain of daggers, a sea of purple flames, a whirlwind of swords, and a raging barrage of fists all struck Diyu Ding Zhe at the same moment, sending him crashing into the ground below.
Soon to follow, a flock of sparrows conjeeled from lightning, a furious tiger made of bright red flames, and a giant stag condensed from black wind pummeled the air where Diyu Ding Zhe fell. Any one of these attacks could heavily injure a half deity.
“Crimson world sealing!” Prince Cang SAN’s voice reverberated into everyone’s ears as the night sky turned a bright crimson red, the jar previously in his hand no longer in sight.
Suddenly an immensely overpowering pressure descended, causing the ground to rumble as it was compacted downward an entire five feet, forming a massive circle.
“Cang San! What is the meaning of this!” Roughly half of the half deities and some of their subordinates yelled in horror as the sudden change increase in gravity caused all of them to slam into the ground.
Like an ever intensifying play, twists and turns, betrayal and unforeseeable events riddled the battlefield.
“With this half of my competition is gone.” Prince Cang San said with a sigh while eyeing the remaining half deities and saints around him.
Lifting his hand and performing a grasping motion, Prince Cang San caused a crimson dome to appear, outlining the area under the influence of the Crimson World Sealing Jar.
“Release us at once or you’ll rue the day!” A half deity screamed at the top of his lungs after picking himself up from the ground, punching the crimson dome with all his might to no avail.
“Keep hitting as much as you’d like, there’s no way you’ll break free.” A saint level cultivator who was apart of Prince Cang San’s entourage snickered.

“Tch, luckily I decided to watch from above…” Zhang thought was he watched the crimson dome slowly compress the space within it.
In the following moments that seemed to drag on forever, the screaming of half deities and saints felt the space within the crimson dome twist and warp, causing them to be filled with panic and dread.
“Who would have that the Crimson World Sealing Jar would be this powerful. It truly lives up to its reputation as a upper grade deity rank weapon.” A half deity said after gulping a mouth full of saliva, thanking his good luck for not being caught like the others.
Before long in a flash of blinding light, the crimson dome and everything in it disappeared, turning to its original form as a jar in Prince Cang San’s palm.
“Even if I can’t locate the fallen god’s inheritance, when all of the saints and half deities inside are refined into pure essence and divine energy, I can use them to increase my strength greatly.” Prince Cang San laughed as he felt the crimson jar in his palm slightly shake due to the efforts of those inside trying to escape.
“Now to deal with the rest of them. Vassals of the Holy Siwang Empire, get rid of all those who stand in our way!” Prince Cang San said, signally his men to suddenly attack those near them.
“Cang San, you think with just yourself and some measly saints, you can take the rest of us?” A half deity snickered while sneering at Prince Cang San.
Brothers, we must show this fool what happens to those who seek to soar to the heavens but lack the strength! We need to show Cang San his place!” Another half deity said as he rallied the others into battle.

In a flash, all of the half deities and their subordinates has grouped up against Prince Cang San. With weapons drawn and a suffocating amount of killing intent around, everyone levitated in the sky with a dead silence permeating.
“Kill everyone from the Siwang Holy Empire!” A half deity roared, signaling a mass charge of experts.
Hmph, get rid of them all...” Prince Cang San said in a loud voice as the hoard of half deities and saints rushed toward him.
“A deep schemer that one is…” Zhang thought as what Prince Cang San said, prompted roughly half of the half deities and their subordinates to suddenly attack those beside them.
“You… You bastards were all in league with each other!” A half deity that had a large gaping wound on his arm yelled furiously as his other arm tightly gripped the throat of another half deity, one who has just tried to kill him. With a loud crunch, the lifeless corpse of a revered expert fell to the ground.
“Cang San, even if it means I’ll die for sure, I’ll drag you and your lackeys to hell with me!” The half deity added as he flipped his hand and a large golden colored pill appeared.
Tossing the golden colored pill into his mouth, the half deity’s body turned a bright golden color as if he had been morphed from flesh and bone into solid pure gold, his frame going exponentially becoming roughly ten times what it previously was.
“Chi Yan, to think you’d take a Golden Soul Extinguishing Pill. Too bad that won’t be enough for you to kill me before it’s affects expire and your soul is extinguished.” Prince Cang San said as he eyed the golden giant quickly approaching him.
“Haha, if one pill does not work then perhaps two or maybe three will!” Chi Yan laughed manically as three more golden pills appeared in his palm.
“Four Golden Soul Extinguishing Pills? How… The number of previous materials needed to make a single one would be able to cultivate a thousand mortals into saints. Why would this bastard have four…” Prince Cang San cursed inwardly as he watched Chi Yan’s frame grow even bigger. For the first time since the beginning of that chaotic battle, Prince Cang San was actually losing his cool.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
