Chapter 480 - 474: The True Power of the Mirage Dragon Pearl
The so-called grand event was actually due to the fact that the five-year period had arrived, and counting from Ye Zhen’s last entry into the Battlefield of Demon Souls to seize the War Soul Blood Flag, it had been five years.
The Five Countries Conference, held every five years, was about to begin, which meant that the Battlefield of Demon Souls on Demon Soul Mountain was also about to open.
Normally, as the five-year period approached, the War Soul Blood Flag would automatically detach itself from its previous owner’s hand and fly back into the Battlefield of Demon Souls, waiting for a new master when the battlefield opened.
But this time, an exceptional circumstance had arisen.
Because of the Lip Dragon Pearl last time, Ye Zhen had managed to transform into a member of the Demon Soul Legion, acquiring a massive amount of Demon Soul Blood Crystals and elevating the War Soul Blood Flag to Level 5, thoroughly acknowledging Ye Zhen as its master.
Now, even though the five-year period was about to be fulfilled, the War Soul Blood Flag showed no signs of leaving; instead, the Blood Light within it had become very faint due to the consumption from the Eastern Expedition, and urgently needed replenishment.
At this moment, coinciding with the quinquennial opening of the Battlefield of Demon Souls, neither the Black Water Empire nor Ye Zhen himself needed to participate in the so-called Five Countries Conference anymore.
Without the return of the War Soul Blood Flag to Demon Soul Mountain, the so-called Five Countries Conference was rendered meaningless.
However, Ye Zhen himself had a compelling reason to go, as the Blood Light within the War Soul Blood Flag was extremely faint and urgently needed replenishment, which was one aspect.
Most importantly, when Ye Zhen fully acknowledged the War Soul Blood Flag as his own, he learned the ultimate secret of the Demon Soul Hall within the Battlefield of Demon Souls, and he had to try his luck no matter what.
