Cole look at the phantom with great apprehension. After all, it was something that was sealed by Divine Equipments and Items, it's definitely nothing to laugh about.

The only fortunate thing about is eventhough the sealed arms are originally an arms of a Saint Devil, it deteriorated by the passage of time, restrictions and equipments, making its current strength fall to first level of Void Trancendance-Stage, which make it a stage higher than Cole.

"Haha! I knew it! Those monks think that they can seal me to death, ha! Even the heavens are helping me, sending a brat for my cause! Hahahah!!!" The black phantom stated and laugh maniacally, not even putting Cole in its eyes, which is also understandable, after all, no matter how much it deteriorated, its foundation is still of Saint, not someone who's low-level Mortalhood Realm could contend. Besides, it could clearly see that its cultivation level is still a level higher, giving it more confidence.

After some time, the phantom recovered from his laughing session and it immediately look at Cole and smile, "Brat, I'm the revered Devourer Devil Clan, World Devourer Saint. Release me and I'll give you riches that you can't even imagine in your lifetime." It said with full of enticement tone.

However, the phantom was still aware with its current circumstances. Eventhough his visitor can't threaten its existence, it was also the other way around with all the restrictions it was currently in. Which is why it tried other approach, enticing the brat with riches. It knew that for humans, it was a big temptation, especially for young lad cultivator like him who didn't yet detached itself from worldly possessions.

Besides, it didn't know anything good about humans beside being much greedier than Devils.

"Then, how can I help you?" Cole asked feigning convinced, even going as far as showing a facial expression full of greediness.

"Hahaha!!!" The phantom laugh again heartily, totally believing that Cole fall on his temptation. 'Just like as I thought, humans never change.', it said with itself.

Fortunately, the phantom didn't detected the loopholes in the situation, like it didn't yet to say the riches it promise but Cole are already persuaded, also the fact that it literally looks like a bad news with all the dark chains it was restricted about. It seems that the phantom totally believe and very confident on its common knowledge about humans.

Cole believed that it was definitely becuase of the phantom itself. If his theory is correct, the phantom is just a remnant will of the Devil itself that was left on the severed arms, although it was smart, it was still limited since it don't have brain. It was also not a spirit like elementals that have a complete and powerful soul, who have a complete thoughts like those with brains despite having none.

"Then let start with that thing," it pointed at the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb], "That thing may look ordinary but it was in fact a powerful artifact. I'm giving you this information as well as the opportunity for free! Subdue it and it will be all yours!" The [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] is the greatest hurdle for the phantom, he only have to remove it and it could free itself from its prison!

The [Immortal Black Jade] was only an Divine Item, it don't have a spirit. Its only purpose was to caged him for it to unable to escape, while the pages of [Bible of Darkness] only emits its passive properties. Its purpose was to help the main Divine Artifact [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] on its purpose. If the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] is gone in the equation, then all of it will be easy!

"Really?!" Cole exclaimed loudly, looking very excited and the greediness in his face deepen even more. He even tried to look at the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] without blinking his eyes, which only convince the phantom even more.

Pity for it, Cole already knew the value of those items beforehand. He could even detect that the phantom didn't even mention the [Immortal Black Jade], as well as the pages of [Bible of Darkness]. It only shows that even the remnant will left behind by the restricted severed arms knew the value of those two items.

Unbeknownst to Cole, the phantom only value the [Immortal Black Jade]. The pages of the [Bible of Darkness], on the other hand, was an item which could supress and restricted any member of Devil Race!

Member of Devil Race! Not a member of any Devil Clan!

Anything related to [Bible of Darkness] was a bad news for their race, it was better that this cursed equipment was in their hands than others! Or else their whole Devil Race will face great doom!

It was precisely with this equipment that those hateful monks managed to severed it bodies into different parts and lock them, him, who was a Saint of Devourer Clan!

He need to secure it for the future of his whole race!

Fortunately, the brat don't have any idea about the items. It could be exchange in return of his freedom. Definitely a great deal!

After all, eventhough that blinding orb was a Divine Artifact, it was an artifact made to suppress them. It can't use it. Although it also wanted to acquire this item to avoid future problem, but its freedom was still first in the list.

Besides... Who said that this brat could live to use them?

"But if what you said is true, then with my current cultivation level of First-Level Nascent Soul-Stage, I definitely don't have what it takes to subdue it!" Cole added later on with regretful tone.

The truth is, Cole is not confident that he could subdue that [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb], after all, it was a Divine Artifact. He's not sure if his [Force Blood Bind] could do the trick.

Also, won't it too unrealistic if he could subdue it with his current strength? He don't want it to be easy for that Devil Arms. He also don't want it to guard against him, he wanted it to believe that he's just a chicken waited to be slaughtered. With its guard against him lowered, even if he can't eliminate it, he could at least escape easily.

The phantom think for a moment before it believe that what Cole said did make sense. Divine Artifacts are very hard to subdue becuase of its spirit, even for them who was Saints. Not only it was very smart, it will also accept only those who have a great affinity with them.

For instance, this [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] was a Divine Artifact of Light, at the least, it will only accept those with affinity of Light-Path and since it was also a artifact commonly used by Buddhist monks, it usually accept only those righteous and talented at the same time.

This kid is definitely not a human cultivator of Buddhist Path, just its clothing said it all. He could only pray that that the kid have the affinity with Light.

But what if he hasn't? With his current strength, the kid definitely reach this point using his affinity with Space, the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] will probably won't him give a glance, much less do any further.

The phantom gritted its non-existent teeth, this brat are not even suitable for his cause! It looks like he have to do some investment first! It couldn't be avoided if he wanted to break free from the damn prison!

But without the choice of subduing the artifact, it could only thought of another approach.

When it thought about it, didn't he want the kid to subdue the artifact just to remove the heart in the formation he was sealed into? Without the main component of the Sealing Formation, the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] which is also responsible for providing the whole formation of energy it needed as a fuel to work, the formation will definitely crumble!

Without showing it contempt, the phantom said casually, "What you said make sense. Since you're helping me, I'll also help you! It is your honor to receive assistance from me, a great Saint!"

Cole rolled his eyes inwardly and thought, 'I'm the one who's helping you! How come it becomes my honor?!' Of course, he didn't said it out loud but exclaimed full of reverence instead, "Yes, yes, it's a great honor to receive assistance from revered Great Saint!"

The phantom nodded, it was very satisfied. No matter where and when, it was great to one's satisfaction to see someone worshipping you, especially for it who was sealed for how many years.

However, if it provide assistance for the brat, he needed to sacrifice its cultivation level. At the least, it will only drop to Peak of Nascent Soul-Stage level, if worst, it will drop to the lowest level of Nascent Soul-Stage.

The phantom steel its resolve. It'll take the gamble! If this brat is successful, it could free itself but if he wasn't, it will be refine to death by [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb]. By the course of things, if this brat didn't arrive here, it will be refine to death by the damn Divine Artifact, it was only a matter of time! But with the brat here, he have a 5% chance to freedom. It wasn't a lot but compare before which had no hope, this 5% is worth gambling for!

The still dried arms twitch for a second but it already incite a big reaction! The [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] produce a much more blinding light which make Cole instinctively close his eyes, while chain become more stiffen and restrict the arms even further and the vibration almost becomes visible.

"Make sure to release me from this cage and I'll give you riches beyond belief. I can even make you reach Sainthood without a problem." The phantom said solemnly.

'It seems that the sealed arms are gambling it all,' Cole concluded.

"I can't promise you that I'll be successful on freeing you, Great Saint, but I will give my all trying." He replied solemnly too.

Cole's acting skills is too great at the moment that even himself almost got fooled by his action.

"That's already enough..." The phantom said, relieve apparent on its voice.

After the phantom said this, the commotion gets more bigger. The bright light intensified even more than even Cole who was currently had his eyes closed can still see the blinding light.

It becomes so bright that even his eyelids can't protect his eyes from the brightness!

He also put his hands on top of his eyelids on attempt of blocking the light but even it was not enough! He can't help but think that if he look on his hands right now, he can see inside much better than X-ray!

He immediately willed his [Summoning Grimoire] to float in front of his face. It was only then that the brightness becomes tolerable for his eyes.

Moments later, the chains started to produce rattling sound and since he was blind at the moment, he don't know what's happening. It was only moments later that he heard the phantom shout, "Space Shatter! Folding Space!" then everything return to normal.

When he open his eyes, the first thing he saw is the floating black ring in front of him —

Black Ring [Holy-Rank] Affinity : Space Skills : Enhanced Storage, Withdraw/Deposit, Camouflage, Absorb Energy, Time Dilation

Enhanced Storage [Passive] Can store both living and non-living things.

Withdraw/Deposit [Active] Withdraw and deposit items using Soul-Energy.

Camouflage [Active] Change the outer appearance of the skin and its rank. Default : Black Ring Skin [Holy] Skin 1 : Skin 2 : Skin 3 :

Absorb Energy [Passive] Absorb the surrounding energy. It will be used to support the stored living things.

Time Dilation [Passive] The time inside the ring differs from the outside. [1 second : 1 month]

— and the light seems to dim considerably.

The [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb] brighten up and a human made of light appear. It was bald and floating while sitting in a lotus position. It's the spirit of the [Purifying Evil Radiance Orb].

"Human, think more about your next action."
