Chapter 362 - The Man Behind Mister Mo Luo
The Triad Ritual had exploded!
The vast, secret realm started to shrink while stars rained down from the skies like meteors, creating strong earthquakes, hurricanes and fires as they crashed to the ground.
The earth relocated as the earthquake occured, the ocean of fire’s size decreased but the fire burned even stronger and started to spread everywhere, swallowing everything in its path, the skies shattered as the dimensions stacked together, spawning horrifying cracks while the mountains evaporated!
Massive changes occurred even on the black well; the flow of the water in the black well changed, it flowed backwards towards Zhong Yue and the others and everything the water touched turned into the tiniest totem carving pieces!
The outer rim of the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm was completely disintegrated by the earthquakes, black tsunami, rogue winds and blazing fire!
And those who initially ran towards the border of the secret realm changed course and they rushed back towards the center with all they had and there were also countless species of insects that flapped their wings as fast as they could in order to escape their doom.
But they would all be ripped apart by the deadly tornadoes, burned to ashes by the fiery ocean, dragged into the abyss by the earthquakes and devoured by the black water.
On top of that, there were also falling stars, sun and moon that added more destruction to the horrifying apocalypse!
This sacrificial ritual was way too disastrous and when Zhong Yue, Tian Mo Concubine and the others stood at the edge of the altar, they felt like they were standing in the center of the world as it slowly self destructed.
And the death of the demon Qi Practitioners and the insect species was the prelude to Zhong Yue and the others’ deaths.
They too, if nothing happened, would end up being sacrificed along with the rest of the world and be turned into the purest form of energy and then absorbed by Demon Saint!
Ding ling ling——-
Suddenly, the sound of a bell ringing was heard from one of the court ladies as a bell on her wrist started to float and showed signs of disintegration!
The power of the ritual had finally spread to them and started to affect their soul weapons.
At the edge of the altar, Zhong Yue and the others felt their strength becoming unstable and it seemed as if their Yuan Shen was being pulled out from their body!
This was extremely dangerous since the ritual had started to affect them, not long after, they would disintegrate and turn into nutrients for Demon Saint.
“Concubine, what do we do?” asked the panicked court ladies as they looked towards the three concubines.
However, the three concubines, were also unsure of what to do and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads. Even though they were at the top of their league, their strength was nothing when compared to the apocalypse in front of them.
It was a deadlocked situation where everyone was doomed!
Tian Mo Concubine quickly looked towards Zhong Yue who seemed to be in his own world thinking about something.
Suddenly, about ten court ladies could not hold themselves back anymore and quickly rushed towards the altar to avoid being killed by the ritual but just as their feet landed on the altar, they exploded and turned into a blood mist that got absorbed into the blood pool floating in the skies.
Whoever stepped foot on the altar would become sacrifices while those under the altar would be destroyed by the apocalypse and turned into sacrifices.
Shura looked into the distance and realized that other than them, the other demons and the insect species had all died.
“Hop on my boat first!” shouted Shura as he took out his boat again.
Everyone boarded the boat while Zhong Yue sat on the bow and looked around everywhere. His actions quickly got Shura’s attention who then shouted angrily, “Mo Luo, what are you thinking about? Help us pour energy into the boat to speed it up!”
“I am thinking about why the remnant of the Creator did not resist Demon Saint” replied Zhong Yue as he look at the beheaded body of the Creator which had turned back into flesh from stone and was slowly being dissolved by the sacrificial power.
Shura asked angrily, “Have you figured it out yet!?”
“I am about to but I am not sure about some parts of it yet….” replied Zhong Yue.
“Stop thinking, we will be dead by the time you figure it out!”
“Give me a little more time.”
Meanwhile, another blood talisman was depleted and another one was pulled out by Demon Saint and the ritual continued.
Demon Saint continued to maintain his strength at the level of Demonic God, which eliminated any chances of anyone attacking him.
As the storm raged, huge tidal waves appeared all over the blood pool. Each time the lightning struck, the skies would be lit up a blood red colour and the shadow of the nine Demonic Gods and Demon Saint appeared even more scary.
At this moment, Shura was slowly giving up hope but he said, “Mister Mo Luo, let us try one last time! We will give up our body and unleash our demonic spirit, summon our people to pray to our spirits in an attempt to awaken them and help ourselves return to the Demonic God level! Then, we might have a chance to kill Demon Saint and free ourselves from this situation….”
To Shura’s dismay and fear, Zhong Yue shook his head and replied, “Can you still sense the outside so that our people can pray for us right now even after the Triad Ritual has begun?”
As the Triad Ritual began, its power had covered the entire secret realm, blocking off any links the secret realm had with the outside world, thus, what Shura suggested was unable to be executed.
It was their last hope yet, it was shattered mercilessly.
Demon Saint had planned everything so well that he left literally no chances for them to escape at all!
The Heavenly Demon Secret Realm was a independent dimension created by the Creator with unimaginable power and with the secret realm sacrificed in the ritual, the knowledge and energy contained in the totem carving pieces of the world would be absorbed by Demon Saint!
They would allow Demon Saint to increase his strength and grant him a chance to achieve even more than he had in his previous life or maybe he would even become another Creator in the future!
As the situation worsened, the place where the Black Well Keep was located turned into a huge pit while the keep and the saint mountain had disappeared from sight!
Even the black well itself, twisted by some kind of unseen power, dragged everything around it as it twisted and mountains, trees, rocks and ground all got sucked in by the black well, causing a huge ruckus that attracted the attention of the demons within a few thousand miles.
They did not do anything however as they were unsure of what was happening and they too, were afraid.
Meanwhile, ten Demonic Embryos formed in the skies in the secret realm while energy, totem carving chains and power surrounded the embryos and surged into them.
On the boat of Shura, the group barely managed to keep their balance as their strength was slowly siphoned away and the boat was on the verge of flipping over!
Zhong Yue on the other hand, continued staring at the remnant of the Creator, observing how it got disintegrated by the ritual and he suddenly said, “I get it now!”
“What can it do now!” shouted Shura as he completely gave up struggling.
“More than you think!” replied Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue then said seriously, “The remnant of the Creator turned itself into a stone as a way to protect and seal itself to avoid being eroded by time. In this form, even Demon Saint could not do anything to it and when the remnant of the Creator returned to flesh form, it would be in its weakest state and there would be a risk of being sacrificed.”
“As long as he recovers from his stone form, his flesh will be devoured bit by bit and slowly, he will be killed in his slumber! The most crucial part of the ritual requires the remnant of the Creator to not awaken!”
Zhong Yue let out a deep breath and said, “If we want to break free from this situation, we must wake the remnant of the Creator from slumber!”
“What’s the use of saying that? We can’t do it by ourselves,” said Shura coldly.
Zhong Yue laughed and replied, “Have you forgotten that I have someone covering my back?”
Immediately, Shura recalled when Zhong Yue said that there was someone that supported him back in the Black Well Keep and this someone was called “Bo Xun”. When Zhong Yue mentioned Bo Xun’s name, the entire Black Well Keep started to shake as if affected by a tremendous presence and because of that, everyone suspected that Bo Xun was a living Demonic God that protected Zhong Yue.
Hearing this, a spark of hope lit up in Shura’s heart again but he was still skeptical about it and he asked again, “But it is impossible since the link has been cut off, there’s no way we could reach the outside world now….”
“But Bo Xun can for sure!”
Zhong Yue then looked up into the skies and thought to himself, The only problem is that I’m on the blacklist of the remnant of Creator. Will the remnant kill me along with Demon Saint when he wakes up?”
Meanwhile, everything proceeded according to Demon Saint’s plan, Demon Saint continued to absorb the remnant of the Creator’s flesh steadily and shouted, “At last, I am about to finish my plan that took me an entire life to accomplish!”
Demon Saint stood there with his hands behind his back and as he looked at the gradually maturing Demonic Embryos, he said, “From now on, I am unstoppable in this world!”
At the same time on the boat that was struggling in the roaring water, Shura shouted angrily, “Mo Luo, if you don’t call in your backup now, we will all die!”
“What backup?” asked Demon Saint curiously when he heard Shura’s shout.
At his side, Demon Queen quickly whispered and Demon Saint said curiously again, “So Mister Mo Luo still has someone to protect you, you may call him out now to provide more energy to my embryos!”
Zhong Yue then laughed and said, “Are you sure you are not going to regret it, Demon Saint?”
“So your protector is called Bo Xun? Call him out as you wish for I want to see how he will die in my hands!” replied Demon Saint.
Zhong Yue then shouted calmly, “Bo Xun!”
In an instant, the now dark surroundings darkened even more and the rampaging apocalypse froze in an instant.
