King of Creation
Chapter 859: Chapter 846 Ancient Demon God
Time was tight, and Ye Zhen only glanced at the storage rings of the five people led by Tiger King Command on Tiger Shark Island without checking them carefully.
Contrary to Ye Zhen’s expectations, including Tiger King Command, the number of mid-grade Spirit Crystals inside the storage rings didn’t exceed a million.
However, these five people’s storage rings contained a great variety of strange and exotic heavenly materials and earthly treasures, many of which Ye Zhen had never seen before, presumably from the Outer Domain Dead Sea.
He thought that after careful inventory, it would amount to a significant gain, considering the previous slaying of King Zhenshan and his party; Ye Zhen had accumulated eleven storage rings from Establishment Kings so far, but had no spare time to sort through them.
Once he was out, Ye Zhen estimated that it should be quite a considerable wealth!
At the moment, Ye Zhen hurriedly rode the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten back to the vicinity of the Seven Evils Demon Gathering Altar, as the offerings were almost ready, and the altar could be activated at any moment, with no room for delay lest something be missed.
While returning, Ye Zhen cautiously sent his four-colored Innate Soul Light to the depths of the First Sword Vein into the dormant Purple Spirit Body, attempting to strengthen the weak divine soul imprint within the Purple Spirit Body.
Previously, he dared not, fearing accidentally causing an explosion, but now it was different.
Because Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power had advanced to the four-colored Innate Soul Light, unintentionally completing the most basic divine soul imprint on the Purple Spirit during the invocation of the Purple Spirit Sword Intent.
This initial divine soul imprint gave Ye Zhen a preliminary understanding, judgment, and control over the terrifying and unmatched power within the Purple Spirit Body!
At least under normal circumstances, with normal control, this power would no longer harm Ye Zhen, similar to a Martial Artist imprinting the divine soul of a Demon Beast; once imprinted, the Demon Beast no longer harbors hostility nor harms the imprinted Martial Artist.
Though the initial imprint was completed, the Purple Spirit was too powerful.
If the power of the Purple Spirit is likened to a towering tree, then Ye Zhen’s power is merely a blade of grass; this immense disparity makes Ye Zhen’s progress in imprinting the divine soul of the Purple Spirit extremely slow.
Even after Ye Zhen’s four-colored Innate Soul Light, on this nearly hour-long flight, Ye Zhen only increased the divine soul imprint degree on the Purple Spirit from two percent to ten percent during the first fifteen minutes!
Afterward, he was unable to further increase the imprint degree on the Purple Spirit even a tiny bit; whenever Ye Zhen attempted to forcibly strengthen the divine soul imprint within the Purple Spirit Body, Ye Zhen’s innate divine soul and innate soul light would uncontrollably vibrate.
Ye Zhen felt that if he continued to enhance the divine soul imprint within the Purple Spirit Body, the power his divine soul imprint could affect within the Purple Spirit Body would exceed Ye Zhen’s control.
Helplessly, he could only stop!
To be honest, Ye Zhen had refined several spiritual artifacts, and an imprint degree of ten percent is really low.
Under normal circumstances, a ten percent imprint degree cannot even activate any of the spiritual artifact’s power.
Thus, normally, with just a ten percent degree, Ye Zhen couldn’t harness the Purple Spirit’s power, fortunately with the Purple Spirit’s tacit permission and collaboration, Ye Zhen could summon ten percent of the Purple Spirit’s original power in emergencies.
Ye Zhen was very curious, wondering how strong exactly was ten percent of the Purple Spirit’s power?
As for the double consumption cost, Ye Zhen simply ignored it; he was currently wealthy enough not to lack Spirit Crystals!
"The offerings for the altar have been prepared, why hasn’t the Longevity King returned yet?"
When Ye Zhen returned to the vicinity of the altar, Green Sun Palace Master Zhe Yang, King Hengjiang Chii Yulong, and Illusion Formation King Chen Chi were anxiously waiting, seeing that the altar was about to be activated, yet there was no news from the Longevity King’s team!
"Lord Ye, did you see the Longevity King on the way?" King Hengjiang Chii Yulong asked as he saw Ye Zhen return.
"No!"
Ye Zhen shook his head.
It was best to be low-key in this matter; earlier, Ye Zhen had indirectly admitted to being the one who killed King Zhenshan and his party of eight. If he declared that he had also eliminated the Longevity King and his followers, the remaining three Establishment King’s squads might become panicked.
If someone said a few inflammatory words, the remaining three Establishment King squads might all become hostile towards Ye Zhen and even oppose him.
"Palace Master Zhe, what should we do? The offerings for the altar have been prepared, but we lack a Demon Clan Demon Master to preside over the ritual, so we can only forcibly activate the altar,
and with the method I know, forcibly activating the altar requires many people; without the Longevity King’s team, we are too few in number, averaging less than two people per altar, yet each altar requires at least two people to preside..." Illusion Formation King looked anxious!
"Counting Lord Ye, there are precisely fourteen people;
it is enough!
As for Illusion Formation King, we won’t wait any longer.
When the altar is activated, any requirements or how staff should be allocated, it’s up to you to arrange it, all martial artists present will follow your guidance!"
Saying this, Zhe Yang glanced at everyone: "Does anyone object?"
Naturally, in such matters, there wouldn’t be any objections. Quickly, Illusion Formation King began arranging staff.
According to Illusion Formation King, an altar requires two people to preside over, one main priest and one assistant priest. The main priest’s duty is to use divine soul power to channel the blood from the offerings into the center of the altar and evenly apply it to every part of the altar, then follow Illusion Formation King’s secret technique, activating seven altars simultaneously.
As for the assistant priest, it’s simple: slaughter the captured multi-armed demons and use their blood for the offering.
Following his requirements, the main priest must be a martial artist with strong divine soul power, unsurprisingly, Ye Zhen also became one of the main priests responsible for hosting the Gengjin Position.
Ye Zhen felt that the altar left behind by Earth Core Fire Commander might not require as complicated a method to activate as Illusion Formation King said, but as Earth Core Fire Commander established the Earth Core Fire Palace nine thousand years ago, things have drastically changed over time, and many secret techniques have been lost!
They can only use Illusion Formation King’s complex method to activate the altar.
Swiftly, the remaining fourteen Establishment Kings took their positions, and following Illusion Formation King’s signal, the slaughter began!
The King from the Fourth Stage Establishment assisting Ye Zhen swiftly slaughtered the captured multi-armed demons with the most gruesome method of splitting them in half to let out more blood!
The moment the blood flowed, Ye Zhen’s vast divine soul power spread out, focusing all that blood towards the center of the altar.
Strangely, as this blood touched the surface of the altar, the stone altar surface turned into a sponge, absorbing every drop of blood without a trace!
Under Ye Zhen’s guidance, the entire stone altar rapidly turned into a bloody hue, with vast amounts of blood focused toward the altar’s center!
A violet talisman light suddenly exploded in the sky, a signal from Illusion Formation King.
At the sight of this violet talisman light, Ye Zhen’s divine sense moved, immediately chanting a string of gibberish syllables whose meaning even Ye Zhen couldn’t comprehend.
According to Illusion Formation King, these syllables were the ancient Demon Clan’s sacrificial incantations, paired with a special divine soul skill, and combined with this altar blood sacrifice, could summon the thought of an Ancient Demon God, gathering endless demonic qi!
Almost simultaneously as the strange syllables emerged, Ye Zhen’s divine soul power, following Illusion Formation King’s teaching, condensed into a peculiar Daoist school, carrying a vast amount of blood, pounding towards the altar’s base.
In Ye Zhen’s senses, those strange symbols both beneath and on the altar lit up simultaneously.
The brightness was like the eyes of a demon, piercing into one’s heart!
Swoosh!
A beam of blood light suddenly shot up from the altar in front of Ye Zhen. At the same time, in six other directions, six exceptionally thick beams of blood light also surged upwards.
Seven beams of blood light simultaneously rushed skyward in one direction, finally intertwining a kilometer high in the air, merging into an even more tremendous and more condensed pillar of blood light, shooting straight towards the sky!
Ye Zhen felt as if the whole void shook, as if that blood light had broken through this spatial wall, disappearing into the horizon!
And then there was no further movement, the pillar of blood light remained there without any change!
But only ten breaths later!
Ten breaths!
A black aura, even more tremendous than the pillar of blood light, descended from the sky following the pillar.
In an instant, everyone’s hearts trembled violently!
An unprecedented feeling of fear filled everyone’s hearts, it was an indescribable terrifying aura.
Even stronger than any aura Ye Zhen had encountered before, even surpassing the aura of Purple Spirit he had sensed earlier by a hundred times.
Just feeling that aura, with its myriad negative sensations, made Ye Zhen’s whole body feel weak!
As this aura descended, various energies of slaughter, bloodshed, and savagery from every corner of the earth and sky seemed to rush towards the center of the altar, as if summoned.
Immediately, black aura flooded the center of the altar, with a creepy undercurrent in the air!
"It’s done, retreat... quickly retreat!"
The Establishment Realm Fourth Stage King assisting Ye Zhen shouted tremblingly, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t run fast, his steps faltered, trembled, and he couldn’t even fly.
And Ye Zhen wasn’t much better, barely able to skim low along the ground, helping this Establishment Realm King along the way.
After swiftly covering more than ten miles, the feeling started to fade, allowing both to recover some of their speed!
"Thank you... Lord Ye!" The Establishment Realm Fourth Stage King gasped, still shaken, but before he could finish speaking, his expression turned to shock, pointing to the north.
"Quick, hurry, they’re coming!"
In the north, two blood-red figures swirled towards the center of the altar like a whirlwind; Ye Zhen could vaguely see within those two figures were thousands of Demon Spirit Phantoms and Multi-armed Demons, cheering furiously.
Ye Zhen could even sense within those blood-red figures, an exceedingly terrifying presence.
However, under the aura projected by that Ancient Demon God, the auras of these two Demon Clan Dao Entrance Realms were insignificant!
Moreover, from all directions, countless solitary or grouped Demon Spirit Phantoms and Multi-armed Demon Clan members rushed madly towards the rolling black center of the seven altars.
Many Demon Spirit Phantoms and Multi-armed Demon Clan members swept past Ye Zhen and the other Establishment Realm King accompanying him.
Previously, these Demon Spirit Phantoms and Multi-armed Demon Clan members would have pounced on human warriors like mosquitoes drawn to the scent of blood, recklessly.
But now, they directly ignored Ye Zhen and his companion!
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhen and the Establishment Realm King were astounded, exchanging a glance, before directing their gaze towards the distant Demon Clan Fortress.
Looking at this scene, it seemed the demonic aura summoned by the altar had emptied the Demon Clan Fortress, indicating that the time to complete the second test had come.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen and the Establishment Realm King let out a fierce shout, instantly maximizing their speed, racing towards the Demon Clan Fortress.
Initially, the Establishment Realm King could keep pace with Ye Zhen, but once the kitten pushed its speed to the limit, and Ye Zhen heavily reinforced the geomagnetic field on it, the king was left stunned!
Because in the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen vanished from his sight.
This sight filled him with a deep sense of helplessness!
If the speed is this abnormal, how could he compete?
Ye Zhen thought he reached the Demon Clan Fortress quickly enough, but when he arrived, the figure of the Green Sun Palace Master, Zhe Yang, just darted into the fortress, disappearing within its layers of architecture.
The moment he entered the Demon Clan Fortress, Ye Zhen’s gaze shifted slightly.
The architectural layout and style within the fortress seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before!
After a brief contemplation, Ye Zhen suddenly recalled that the architectural style here was nearly identical to that of the Demon Soul Hall on his chest.
Though the layout here was planar, and the Demon Soul Hall was three-dimensional, many architectural carvings and the exteriors of crucial functional buildings were almost identical.
He didn’t have time to ponder why they were so similar.
However, another question dawned upon Ye Zhen.
The second test from the Heart Fire Commander was to find the Battle Flag of the Demon Clan within the fortress, and the Demon Soul Hall also housed a War Soul Blood Flag. Whether these flags were related or not, what’s key is that since the architectural style and appearance were nearly the same, could the flags be within similar-looking buildings?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhen’s eagle-like eyes scoured through the layers of buildings in the Demon Clan Fortress, finally locating a large hall resembling the Ninth Layer’s Commander Hall in the Demon Soul Hall.
In the next moment, Ye Zhen darted straight into the imposing, dignifiedly styled hall like a streak of lightning.
As he entered, Ye Zhen’s expression froze once more.
Blood Flag!
In the middle of the hall, a blood-colored flag, eighty percent similar to his War Soul Blood Flag, emanating surging blood and formidable battle intent, floated!
