Chapter 1638: Evil of the Broken Star Palace (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“There were three other people who entered the Broken Star Palace at the same time as me. All of them were experts who had just broken through to the second cla.s.s promotion. After we entered the Broken Star Palace, the Sages of the Broken Star Palace brought us away for some tests. After that, they made us swallow a type of glowing medicinal pill that could help our battle aura and magic to grow. At that time, I did not doubt that the Broken Star Palace would do anything detrimental to us and did everything according to the sages’ instructions. After eating that pill, I could feel the battle aura in my body growing wildly. In less than a month, I broke through another rank after the second cla.s.s promotion.” There was only pain on Su He’s face and not the slightest trace of happiness.

“For more than 200 years in the Broken Star Palace, we would consume a medicinal pill every half a year. After each consumption, our strength would increase greatly. However, a Second-Cla.s.s Archmagus who entered the Broken Star Palace at the same time as me suddenly contracted a serious illness. In less than a week, he changed from a strong man to a skinny old man before my eyes. At first, I did not pay much attention to it and thought it was some strange illness. However, as more and more of my peers pa.s.sed away, I vaguely felt something amiss.”

Su He paused for a moment as if he had thought of some terrifying experience. His face turned deathly white.

“It was not until it was my turn that I realized that they were not sick at all. Instead, their battle aura and magic were forcefully extracted and they died from exhaustion. The medicinal pills we consumed previously were basically made from the energy extracted from other people’s bodies. The Broken Star Palace used the strong to nurture the strong. They allocated the medicinal pills to every new member that entered the Broken Star Palace. However, if their progress was not fast enough, they would ultimately become sacrificial items for the medicinal pills. We were all sacrificial items. I had all my battle aura extracted, but I did not collapse and die like those people. The people from the Broken Star Palace seemed to think that I was still useful, so they handed me over to those Warlocks who studied Forbidden Skills. As a result, I became such an inhumane monster.”

Su He told her everything in one go.

What he said had a huge impact on Shen Yanxiao and the rest.

From the start, Shen Yanxiao suspected that the Broken Star Palace was related to those Warlocks. And now that she heard Su He’s words, she was even more sure of her guess.

“Lord, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It’s just that… those people from the Broken Star Palace are too inhumane. I’m afraid that if I were to tell you everything, it would bring unnecessary trouble to Sun Never Sets.” Having been used as a guinea pig twice, Su He had been in complete despair. If he had not met Shen Yanxiao, he would have become a numb slave for the rest of his life.

A Second-Cla.s.s Expert who once dominated an area had fallen to the extent of being sold as a slave. The difference between the two status could be imagined.

If it were not for Shen Yanxiao’s search for the Broken Star Palace, Su He would have probably never told anyone about his tragic past.

However, when he learned that Shen Yanxiao was going to the Scar of Oblivion to search for the Broken Star Palace, he could no longer sit still. On the day Shen Yanxiao and the others left Sun Never Sets, Su He rushed over at full speed.

He did not wish to see anything happen to Shen Yanxiao and the rest.

Shen Yanxiao was like a second parent to him.. He would never allow the Broken Star Palace to harm his benefactor.
