183 – The Demons Descend
Yang Feng opened his eyes; his eyes flickering brightly and br.i.m.m.i.n.g with vigor. An indescribable force filled his body. His entire person started to become more handsome and elegant, exuding a bewitching temperament.
Gentle energy currents diffused from the green bead on Yang Feng’s chest and entered his body, constantly nouris.h.i.+ng his body and upgrading his power.
As Carolina was staring at Yang Feng, a thought suddenly crept into her mind: “How come this guy looks so much batter now?”
Black dragon’s blood-meridians were one of the peak blood-meridians in Turandot Subcontinent, and Yang Feng had the blood-meridians of an ancient black dragon. The ancient black dragon’s blood-meridians were imperceptibly changing him practically everyday, evolving him into a more perfect being.
Blood-Meridian Warlocks with black dragon’s blood-meridians were all good looking, and even bad looking people would slowly become good looking when influenced by the blood-meridian force. Only when cursed by a strong darkness-attributed spell, would one continue to be bad looking.
While smiling merrily, Shayenna came over from the side and said: “Congratulations Sir, You have promote to a level-2 Warlock as well as taken one further step on the path to become a Great Warlock.”
Yang Feng gave a carefree smile, and said: “Haha, you have quite the sweet tongue. Say, what are you looking me for?"
After Yang Feng’s cultivation base was promoted to a level-2 Warlock, his strength, survivability, and longevity had suddenly increased by a large margin, making him feel extremely invigorated.
Shayenna said with a smile: “Sir, I have a matter to report to You, and would like to ask for Your guidance on said matter.”
Yang Feng said lightly: “Speak!”
Shayenna said with a sweet smile: “The dark elves had spent several hundreds of years to make arrangements in the surface world, fostering kindred hidden in the human world. The plan was to have them act as our chess pieces. However, they had recently broken away from our control. The Kindred Monarch actually plans to condense divinity, and then ascend to G.o.dhood!”
A touch of graveness flashed past Yang Feng’s eyes, and he said: “Ascension to G.o.dhood!”
Ascending to G.o.dhood with the support of faith force. By condensing a demiG.o.d domain, one would become a transcendent life form, a demiG.o.d with terrifying power. This was the most critical step in the evolution of powerful beings from many different planes.
Once the Kindred Monarch became a demiG.o.d, his battle prowess would become terrifying, comparable to that of a Starry Sky Warlock. At that point, he could even contend against a terrifying being like the ancient black dragon Veidarnia at its peak.
A fierce glint flashed past Yang Feng’s eyes, and he said coldly: “That won’t do, he needs to be eliminated before he ascends!”
A peculiar glint flashed past Shayenna’s beautiful eyes, and she said with a sweet smile: “Sir, I have a suggestion!”
In the deepest part of Eyes of Justice’s headquarters, in an forbidden area which could only be accessed by the current Eyes of Justice’s leader as well as the various great elders.
A 10 meters tall statue of a gremlin stood in the center of a b.l.o.o.d.y altar. The gremlin had three heads, a wolf head, a human head, and a tiger head. It had a robust orc-like body, long claws on feet and hands, a pair of wings on the back, and a scorpion tale.
8 blood pools exuding endless vile aura were surrounding the b.l.o.o.d.y altar. Every blood pool was continuously rolling, its pool water gathering into human faces. The human faces were issuing mournful and frightening laments.
Who would have thought that Acheson, who was always fair on the outside as well as was the representative of Eyes of Justice’s justice, would actually be so vile as to murder an unknown amount of people so that he could refine this b.l.o.o.d.y altar.
Eyes of Justice’s leader, Sword of Justice Acheson, slowly walked over, before stopping in front of the b.l.o.o.d.y altar.
“Is what I’m doing really correct?”
Seeing the b.l.o.o.d.y altar exuding a thick fishy stench, the departed soul’s wailing, and the rolling blood pools, Acheson’s eyes revealed a trace of hesitation.
Acheson’s eyes suddenly flashed with a bloodthirsty and tyrannical glint, before regaining their firmness: “Starry Sky Warlock; I’m willing to do anything so long as I can promote to the Starry Sky Warlock rank.”
“Acheson, my most pious follower, you came!” A grand voice br.i.m.m.i.n.g with terrifying pressure echoed inside the forbidden area.
Acheson prostrated himself on the ground, his eyes full of zeal. He said loudly: “Your Majesty, mighty DemonG.o.d Cartman! I, Your most devoted follower, have come with the sacrifice! I will open the pa.s.sage on this side, and humbly welcome Your Majesty’s descent into this world. This world shall be dominated by You.”
“Your Majesty, mighty DemonG.o.d Cartman, You have bestowed power onto Eyes of Justice, and have guided our development.
We of Eyes of Justice, Your most pious followers, humbly welcome Your descent and offer everything of ours for the sake of your descent. You shall dominate everything, You shall control everything, this world shall belong to you!”
8 shriveled old men walked over from caves behind the statue. Judging by their aged appearances, it seemed like they already had a foot in the grave, yet the life force they exuded was of the Great Warlock rank. The men deferentially prostrated themselves on the ground, and gave praises.
Eyes of Justice’s inner workings were fear inducing. With these 9 Great Warlock rank experts, it had already greatly surpa.s.sed Black Dragon Tower which was known for having the most Great Warlocks in Turandot Subcontinent.
In fact, Eyes of Justice didn’t had any Divine rank secret treasures, but the reason why they still could become part of the 6 Great Warlock Groups was because they could obtain great power from the DemonG.o.d Cartman. Every generation, they would have more than 7 Great Warlock rank experts, awing and intimidating the entire Turandot Subcontinent.
At the same time, they had also claimed to be in possession of Divine rank secret treasures.
Acheson lifted the Myriad Departed Souls b.l.o.o.d.y Tear Crystal, and then silently recited an incantation.
The Myriad Departed Souls b.l.o.o.d.y Tear Crystal immediately flared up with red light, before suddenly erupting with b.l.o.o.d.y energy br.i.m.m.i.n.g with resentment, attempting to erode Acheson.
Acheson casually tossed the Myriad Departed Souls b.l.o.o.d.y Tear Crystal into the air, and it directly flew towards the mouth of the statue of a gremlin
The statue of a gremlin opened its mouth to swallow the Myriad Departed Souls b.l.o.o.d.y Tear Crystal.
Black and red radiances enveloped the statue of a gremlin.
The statue of a gremlin cracked open abruptly, revealing an enormous cave. A path diffusing a strong b.l.o.o.d.y and demonic aura suddenly appeared, forming an extremely strange planar pa.s.sageway to another plane.
A terrifying fluctuation of power, comparable to that of a G.o.d, arrived from the other end of the planar pa.s.sageway. The power was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with violence and brutality.
“Cangzhi Plane! The pa.s.sage has finally been opened! This plane belongs to me, Cartman!!"
A voice full of avarice and savagery came from the other end of the planar pa.s.sageway. A huge claw covered in black fur extended from the planar pa.s.sageway, attempting to crawl out.
The huge claw covered in black fur had just extended from the planar pa.s.sageway, when the pa.s.sageway started trembling, about to collapse.
Large amounts of blood and departed souls inside the 8 blood pools surrounding the altar evaporated and disappeared midair.
“f.u.c.k! This planar pa.s.sageway is still too frail. It cannot accommodate my true body." Furious world-shaking roars came from the planar pa.s.sageway, and the huge claw covered in black fur extremely unwillingly retreated into the planar pa.s.sageway.
“Acheson, don’t resist, I’ll bestow power onto you, allowing you to become a Starry Sky Warlock. As my divine emissary in the Cangzhi Plane and the representative of my will, think of ways to sacrifice more souls of the living to stabilize the planar pa.s.sageway.”
A savage voice traveled from the planar pa.s.sageway. A lump of blood cells flew over in a flash, and fell on Acheson’s head.
As if having life of its own, the blood cells frantically drilled into Acheson’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
Acheson was startled. An ominous premonition arose in his mind, and he instinctively operated his secret method in an attempt to crush the blood cells.
Acheson was about to act, when alike a tide, his life force was absorbed by the blood cells.
Acheson’s eyes became white, and his body started twisting. A formidable power pervaded his body, directly breaking through multiple cultivation bottlenecks. A boundless and terrifying life force, comparable to that of a Starry Sky Warlock, slowly diffused from his body.
The Eyes of Justice’s 8 great elders with aged appearances and a foot in the grave detected the terrifying life force being diffused by Acheson, their eyes revealed traces of delight and longing, and they kowtowed and implored madly: “Your Majesty, mighty DemonG.o.d Cartman! We, Your most pious followers, have devoted everything of ours for the sake of Your great cause! Please be merciful and bestow upon us greater life spans and power!”
Eyes of Justice’s great elders were at the end of their life spans, about to die from old age. Only by devoting themselves to an exceedingly formidable being like Cartman, would they have a chance at being bestowed greater life spans and power. Now that they have sensed the Starry Sky Warlock rank terrifying power exuding from Acheson, they became even more pious and deferential.
“Greater life spans and power? Then so be it!" A queer expression appeared on Acheson’s face, followed by a sinister smile. He waved his hand. 8 lumps of blood flew out of the strange planar pa.s.sageway, and then directly lunged at Eyes of Justice’s 8 great elders.
Eye of Justice’s 8 great elders first revealed smiles, but then, as if seeing something horrifying, their expressions twisted, and a glint of despair flashed through their eyes.
Shortly after, the bodies of the 8 great elders started to transform, turning younger and more powerful, before finally recovering the prime of their youths.
“Respectful greetings, Your Majesty, mighty Demon Emperor Cartman!” After the 8 great elders recovered the prime of their youths, their eyes flickered with inhuman glints, before kneeling in front of Acheson and saying reverentially.
Excitement flickered in Cartman’s eyes, and he laughed aloud: “Haha, after thousands of years of arrangements, its finally time for the harvest. Now that the Dawn Dynasty has collapsed, the Cangzhi Plane has become a juicy piece of meat waiting to be s.n.a.t.c.hed away. I, Cartman, shall open a planar pa.s.sageway into the Cangzhi Plane, lead the demons to once more descend into this plane, and become this plane’s Ruler. I, Cartman, will promote to a genuine demonG.o.d because of this feat!”
Cartman said faintly: “Go gather all of Eyes of Justice’ Warlocks so that I can transform them into golems of our clan. The human Warlocks are not weak, and they also practice the flawed secret method that I pa.s.sed onto them. They can serve as cannon fodder in our conquest of Turandot Subcontinent."
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The demons draped in the skin of Eyes of Justice’s 8 great elders agreed reverentially and retreated.
Shortly after, Eyes of Justice’s Warlocks were gathered in the forbidden area. After they exited the forbidden area, although they were still draped in a layer of human skin, but inside, they were no longer human.
Before long, all of Eyes of Justice’s human Warlocks had been turned into demons.
After every human in Eyes of Justice had been turned into a demon, an unending stream of grotesquely-shaped demons started flowing from inside the planar pa.s.sageway.
Savage Claw’s headquarters, 2 people sat at a large table inside a bouleuterion. They were Konrath and Haris.
Konrath said with a slight frown: “Acheson wants to see the both of us? What is he thinking?"
Haris a.n.a.lyzed indifferently: “It should be to apologize for the incident of him not sending reinforcements. He should be feeling great pressure from Steel City.”
Because of Yang Feng’s seclusion the past few days, there haven’t been any great movements from Steel City. However, an unending stream of various goods were being transported to St. Kaulin City and Giant-Stone City, and rumbling sounds were being issued day and night from the munitions factories. The 4 major forces were frightened and full of anxiety
The 4 strongholds, St. Kaulin City, Rose Garden, Giant-Stone City, and the City of Dark Elves, were rock-solid and had no flaws. Konrath and the rest had no way of dealing with them. Caught in a deadlock, they could only watch helplessly as Yang Feng’s forces grew and expanded.
Konrath snorted coldly: “Hmm, that coward had actually fled midway! If he had provided support to Aldrich, then Aldrich might not have lost so fast!"
Warlock College Antalya had 9 seven-story-tall Warlock Towers. According to reason, 7 Great Warlock rank experts in tandem with countless Warlock rank experts were required for Warlock College Antalya to exhibit its strongest military strength. For every additional Great Warlock rank expert, Warlock College Antalya’s defensive strength would increase by one fold.
If Acheson had stationed Eyes of Justice’s experts in Warlock College Antalya’s Warlock Tower, then Yang Feng might not have defeat Warlock College Antalya.
Haris smiled wryly, but didn’t respond. He was clear that even if Acheson had led Eyes of Justice’s experts to a.s.sist Warlock College Antalya, Aldrich wouldn’t allow them entry to the 9 core Warlock Towers. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to leading a wolf into one’s home, that is, exposing all of his secrets to Eyes of Justice.
