Chapter 360
Chapter 360 - Triad Ritual (2/3)
The backstab of the magnate Qi Practitioner from the Tian Myriad Clan had definitely worsened the already precarious situation. Now, six out of eight of the magnate Qi Practitioners from the eight saint clans had been killed, and the two remaining Qi Practitioners from the Tian Myriad and Ji Xiang Saint Clan were fighting fiercely.
Instead of charging towards the Ji Xiang Qi Practitioner, the Demon Saint charged towards the five dragon elders who all turned into their original form. In an instant, the five dragons; the golden dragon, Li Dragon, Fish Dragon, Po Dragon and Jiao Dragon circled around in the skies, and each of them summoned their godly weapons that they retrieved from the dragon race.
As the godly weapons appeared, tremendous power gushed out, filling up the surrounding with their divine aura, crushing everything around them and in a blink of an eye; the mountains, rocks, and trees that were in its path were disintegrated from the shockwaves.
The shockwaves then started to spread everywhere, and as they continued to propagate, they would set everything they passed alight with their tremendous energy. Within seconds, the energy shockwaves had spread towards the Zhong Yue's position and the others, forcing them to back off quickly, but the shockwaves devoured some of them when they failed to outrun the shockwaves!
When they retreated, another few more Inner Core level demon Qi Practitioners were overwhelmed by the energy shockwaves, and Zhong Yue realized that there was nothing that had managed to escape from being crushed by the energy shockwaves.
Previously, the few Heavenly Dharma level elders said that they wanted to take advantage and steal the godly weapons, but could they even get their hands on such weapons?
He then looked at the few demon elders whose faces turned pale and ran away as fast as they could.
As they retreated from the scene for about three hundred miles and when they stood on a crashed star, the star trembled violently when the energy shockwave rammed into it.
Although the Creator created this star, and it was not as large as a true star, it was still about a few hundred miles large. And yet, it barely withstood the energy shockwaves created by the dragons' five godly weapons!
Meanwhile, the Demon Saint who was fighting the five dragon elders unleashed his jade green leaf and eighteen-joint rod, formed fiery totem carving chains all over the skies!
Together with the five draconic godly weapons, five dragon magnate Qi Practitioners, two demonic godly weapons, and a demonic god ... the battle that ensued was particularly horrendous!
The five dancing dragons roared, and each coughed out blood as they used their full strength in controlling the godly weapons and they summoned totem carving chains that chained and linked the five godly weapons together as they battled Demon Saint!
The Ao Clan's elder then shouted, "Sha Qishan! If you don't attack now, we will all be killed by the Demon Saint!"
At the edge of the battlefield, Sha Qishan suddenly took in a deep breath as rapid changes took place on his body. He suddenly turned into a huge creature with sharp spikes popping out from his neck and fins as sharp as blades on his back. With a godly weapon in his hand, he charged towards the Demon Saint!
Unlike the other godly weapons, the godly weapon in Sha Qishan’s hand had the presence of the Kun Peng Race. It looked like a spear while the tip of the sword resembled a clenched bird’s claw.
Sha Qishan had obtained quite a generous amount of the treasures that were left behind in the Ancestral Star by the Kun Peng Race. This godly weapon was among one of the most precious treasures!
However, even with Sha Qishan assisting the five dragon elders, the tides of the battle were still in favor of the Demon Saint. With the support of the Demonic God Blood Talismans, he had restored his power to his original peak. He was able to overwhelm his opponents with ease!
"The Demonic God Blood Talismans cannot last much longer!"
Far away, the magnate Qi Practitioner from Ji Xiang Clan shouted, "Keep it up for a little while longer, and his strength will decrease eventually!"
Suddenly, the Demon Saint's strength decreased and this hugely excited the six magnate Qi Practitioners while Sha Qishan laughed and shouted, "This brat is at his limit!"
However, to their dismay, the Demon Saint suddenly pulled out another talisman, lit it up and returned to his peak strength once again.
“Deplete his talismans! He should not have that many talismans!” shouted the Jiao Clan’s elder.
And as he shouted, six talismans flew out. When the talismans fell from the skies, demonic god apparitions would be formed by the Demon Saint.
Then, the talismans fell into the hands of these apparitions, and in an instant, the strength of these apparitions was boosted to that of a true Demonic God!
Beside Zhong Yue, the Shura's eyes twitched as he sighed, "They've lost. The Demon Saint had unleashed the power of【Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art】and defeated these elders just like how he defeated us… We are doomed this time…."
He then shouted, "If we stay here, we are bound to be doomed for sure! Disciples of demons, follow me to the black well. I am the Shura Demonic God of the Shura Saint Clan, with my godly weapon, I can leave this secret realm through the black well!"
As soon as he voiced out his proposal, he garnered most of the attention, and many quickly rushed towards him. There were even a few Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners among those who clamored toward him.
Shura then took out a boat, and they sailed towards the Black Well after everyone boarded it.
Shura then looked backward and passed a message to Zhong Yue secretly through his psyche, "Mister Mo Luo, you…."
“You go first!” replied Zhong Yue without hesitation.
Shura nodded, and he sailed away quickly with those aboard.
Ji Xiang Concubine, however, was very worried, and she asked, "Mister Mo Luo, are we not leaving with them?"
Zhong Yue shook his head, and when he looked at the boat filled with demons, he whispered, "There will only be one survivor among them, and that will be Shura. He plans to sacrifice them to recover his power and get out from the black well safely."
Ji Xiang Concubine shivered upon Zhong Yue's reply while Zhong Yue returned his focus to the battle. Unlike Shura who was extremely cruel and cold-hearted, Zhong Yue was not able to sacrifice so many unrelated people to serve his own ends. But even if he wanted to do so, he lacked the means to carry it out anyway.
There are only three ways to live now…
The first way was through killing the Demon Saint, the second is by getting past the black well, and lastly, it was through sensing the remnant of the Creator. These were the three ways to break free from this dire situation.
However, none of these ways would work on him!
Stress started piling up in Zhong Yue's mind, and despair slowly crept into the girls' thoughts who were standing beside him as they stared at the battle.
Meanwhile, Sha Qishan and the five dragon elders were being overwhelmed by the six demonic gods, and their defeat was imminent.
On the other hand, the Demon Saint walked towards the magnate Qi Practitioner from Ji Xiang Clan, sealed him into the black container with just one blow while the Tian Myriad Clan's magnate Qi Practitioner bowed and said, "Demon Saint, I have assisted you…."
"I no longer have a need for you."
Demon Saint, however, injured the magnate Qi Practitioner, sealed him into the black container and said, "Although you were loyal to me, I do not need you. So you can serve me one last time and be sacrificed as well."
In the container, the Tian Myriad Clan's magnate Qi Practitioner charged and rammed everywhere, and when he realized that he could not escape, he shouted angrily, "Demon Saint, you dishonorable bastard!"
"I did not tell you that I will let you live so how is that a promise?" said the Demon Saint as he walked towards the five dragon elders.
“Besides, I don’t always keep my promises.”
He then suddenly attacked and crushed the Ao Clan's dragon elder into dismembered pieces. He then tossed the pieces into the black container while the other four dragon elders roared in anger, but they still couldn't escape from their fate.
One by one, the dragon elders were sealed into the container while the demonic gods’ apparitions exploded as the power contained in the talismans depleted.
The Demon Saint then burned another talisman, recovering his strength again as he walked towards Sha Qishan. He swung his eighteen-joint rod, crushed Sha Qishan and said, "Sea King, get in here as well."
Suddenly, Sha Qishan's torn pieces exploded again and turned into countless sharks that swam in the air as they dispersed in all directions in an attempt to escape.
"Hmm? No wonder you could escape from the dragons up until now? But your luck ends here!" The Demon Saint then shot out black rays from the black containers that pierced through the sharks. A totem pillar then landed among the sharks and dragged them back into the black container.
Then, a loud voice could be heard from the black container, “Sha Qishan, why did you call me? Have you created a portal for me… What is this? The Demonic God’s seal? Damn it, how dare you use me as your shield, Sha Qishan!”
The black container suddenly burst open and shattered into pieces.
Demon Saint was shocked, and when he looked at the container, he realized that the totem pillar had been destroyed. Through the cracks on the pillar, he saw an empty dimension with a huge eye that seemed to gaze at him from millions and millions of miles away.
“The godly ancestor of the Kun Peng Race?”
The Demon Saint quickly pressed his palm towards the totem pillar, shattering it completely. When he let out a relieved breath, the sharks had already disappeared from his vision.
“Doesn't matter, none of you will be able to escape as long as you are still in this secret realm!”
He then pointed his fingers towards the running Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners, causing
their heads to explode one by one.
Dead bodies and blood rained down from the skies as none were able to escape from the Demon Saint's onslaught. Meanwhile, Shura stopped the sailing boat as he sighed.
With the Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners killed, Shura was no longer confident that he would be able to get through the black well with only Inner Core level Qi Practitioners as sacrifices.
“Demon Saint, you have won….”
With the magnate Qi Practitioners killed, the only three ways to escape the secret realm had also been foiled.
And now, it was time for the Demon Saint to begin his harvest and commence the Triad Ritual.
