I’ll Quit Being a God - Chapter 497: Wiping Out in One Fell Swoop
At this point, all the prehistoric evil demons present were no longer able to remain calm.
The terror of the four ancient brutal beasts is something that everyone is acutely aware of!
However, these four fearsome creatures have indeed surfaced…
The immense pressure experienced firsthand is something that cannot be replicated by reading countless ancient texts or listening to legends over and over again!
The group of demons all turned their gaze towards the eight figures encircling the Red-Haired Patriarch, feeling both tense and fearful.
These eight figures, among the assembly of demons, are the most powerful individuals, comparable to the Red-Haired Patriarch, and each of them possesses astounding magical prowess that dominates the entire region.
Even when compared to the likes of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, they don’t pale in comparison.
There are also those who, like Nine Phoenix, have survived several Earthly Catastrophes through sheer strength. Their power is so terrifyingly immense that even the formidable beings of the World of Eight Desolations are reluctant to provoke them when the Earthly Catastrophe descends. They can truly be regarded as top-tier ancient demons, not inferior to those characters of ancient legends.
Therefore, the choices made by these eight figures will determine the future actions of all the demonic beings present.
Whether to go all out against the Demon King, risking everything, or join forces with him to control the ancient four beasts? Everything depends on the decisions of these eight individuals.
Under the gaze of the two beasts, these eight figures coldly look towards the white-clad youth at the forefront, observing the incessant tremor of the demonic sword behind him without uttering a single word.
The cautionary tale of Red-Haired Patriarch is right in front of their eyes, hence even they dare not act recklessly.
The eight demonic leaders admitted that if the might of that sword were to manifest again, they would be unable to withstand it, and would only meet the same fate as Red-Haired Patriarch.
Therefore…
After a strange and eerie silence lasting for about a dozen breaths, the eight leaders of the demonic realm spoke simultaneously, “Invoke the Forbidden Incantation! As long as we assist you in resisting these ancient four savage beasts, you will refrain from harming us! Otherwise, your soul will scatter and perish!”
The demeanor of the eight demonic leaders relieved the rest of the demons present.
The Forbidden Incantation is a special spell in the demonic realm, using one’s body and soul as a conduit to establish a binding oath. If violated, one’s soul will scatter and perish in a gruesome and unimaginable manner, even the most powerful demons cannot withstand the power of the Forbidden Incantation.
Therefore, what these eight demonic leaders desire is nothing more than a promise from the Demon Lord, Sun Yan!
Regarding this, the young man in white nodded indifferently and said, “All of you must also invoke the incantation, exerting full force without reservation!”
“Hmph! That is only natural!”
Thus, amidst the crisis, the originally tense and hostile parties swiftly reached a consensus.
The reputation of the ancient Four Fierce Beasts precedes them… but rather than directly confronting the enigmatic and formidable demonic sword aura, the demonic leaders would prefer to engage in a desperate battle with the ancient Four Fierce Beasts!
In front of the Temple of Demons, numerous primordial evil demons simultaneously raised their fingers and cast the spell of Forbidden Incantation. The demonic radiance of the enchantment almost dyed the sky in an eerie deep blue hue.
Amongst the demonic horde, Jiu Mie transmitted his voice and said, “The three of us are righteous beings, how can we possibly invoke the spell of demonic oath…”
The Candle Dragon’s expression turned peculiar as he remarked, “It seems that hiding is no longer an option…”
The Forbidden Incantation is an exclusive technique of the evil demons, a malicious art that targets the body and soul. Even if righteous cultivators were to learn its secrets, they would be unable to unleash its power without tapping into the forces of the dark path.
Therefore, among this entire gathering of demons who were swearing oaths of gambling, Lu Heng and his two companions instantly stood out conspicuously.
Not only did the surrounding demons all frown and look towards them, even the two ferocious beasts outside the All Souls Blood Magic Array turned their gaze upon them.
The evil beast named Qiongqi chuckled strangely and said, “Lords of the demons, it seems like there is someone among you who is unwilling to invoke the Forbidden Incantation… Hehe… Could it be that at this moment, someone still believes they can be self-righteous? How about you all slaughter these three individuals first and then fight me?”
What Qiongqi, the malevolent beast, most delights in witnessing is the chaos among living beings.
The enormous and terrifying head of Taotie uttered coldly, “Leave it to me! I haven’t tasted the flesh of primordial beings in a long time! Today, I shall savor these three rodents as an appetizer! Then, I shall feast with great delight!”
As the two ferocious beasts cast a disdainful glance at the crowd of demons, a chilling aura swept through, causing many of the primordial fiends to feel a slight shiver in their hearts.
These ancient four ferocious beasts, even with just their aura, already surpass the rest of the demons! If it were a one-on-one situation, everyone present, except for Demon King Sun Yan who wields the mysterious demonic sword, would likely struggle to withstand them…
From atop the high platform, the young man in white robe coldly stared at the Hei Yan brothers in the corner and said, “Are the three of you unwilling to serve me to the point of death? Why have you not invoked the spell of Forbidden Incantation?”
In the unfriendly gaze of the demonic horde, Jiu Mie and Candle Dragon exchanged a glance and silently took a step back in unison.
Therefore, Lu Heng, who stood in place, was instantly highlighted and became the center of everyone’s attention.
In the icy gaze of the demonic horde, Lu Heng couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of helplessness.
Observing the young man in white robe at the head Lu Heng sighed and remarked, “It seems that today’s play can only be witnessed until this point…”
As the voice fell, Lu Heng was about to flee using his swift technique, but at that moment, a piercing and mournful scream suddenly resounded from a distance.
The terrifying sound wave, accompanied by an unparalleled force, came crashing forth! In an instant, it flattened the snowy mountains outside the Arctic Skyark Palace!
Simultaneously appearing, there was also an icy and chilling sword aura!
In the wild expanse of mountains to the west of the Arctic Skyark Palace, an unimaginably dreadful presence suddenly appeared, locked in a deadly battle!
The ferocious battle instantly captured the attention of everyone present.
Simultaneously, the bronze giant bell in the western part of the palace chamber resounded with a thunderous trembling, foreshadowing the arrival of another ancient ferocious beast!
“Hun Dun!”
Amongst the demonic horde, the malevolent beast Qiongqi uttered a surprised outcry, “How can there be someone in this world capable of battling against Hun Dun?!”
The astonishing fact was also noticed by the demonic creatures present.
Because the ferocious beast Hun Dun in the western wilderness was astonishingly intercepted by a solitary top-tier cultivator!
Within the surging burst of sword energy, a figure stood in the path of the chaos approaching from the west, engaging in a fiercely matched battle with this dreaded and fearsome beast!
Lu Heng gazed at the surging burst of sword energy, his expression slightly perplexed.
When the white-clad youth on the altar suddenly realized something and turned back, he discovered that the trio of Hei Yan brothers, who had originally been standing among the demonic horde, had vanished.
Within the range of the All Souls Blood Magic Array, these three demonic beings mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving him completely unaware of any slightest aberration!
Such a terrifying escape technique instantly made the expression of the white-clad youth turn solemn.
However, it was not the time to be concerned about these three peculiar demons anymore. In the distance, the surging burst of sword energy erupted once again, accompanied by the furious roar of the chaotic beast, forcing the white-clad youth to turn around and look.
Upon seeing a solitary cultivator in the desolate wasteland to the west, with silver-gray hair and a haggard, aged countenance, it was astonishingly none other than Sword King Huo Feng, who had been confined, not venturing out for many years!
…arguably the universally recognized foremost Sword Saint of this era!
He actually departed from the Hanyu Mountain, the place he had protected for many years, and arrived in the outside world?!
The shocking fact left the people present momentarily unable to accept it.
Meanwhile, in the clouds thousands of miles away, the foreign visitors who had been observing the movements of the Arctic Skyark Palace through special means were also astonished.
The revered Supreme God Xuanjun, with a solemn expression, fixed his gaze upon the world-weary man amidst the profound sword aura, murmuring, “Sword King Huo Feng… the legendary Sword Saint from the Celestial Desolation Realm, possesses such extraordinary power!”
Examining the horrifying three-headed beasts looming in the north, Supreme God Xuanjun wore a grim expression and, finally gritting his teeth, declared, “The manifestation of the Four Savage Beasts is the most ominous omen. To have such formidable enemies… The Celestial Desolation Realm has grown far too swiftly this time! We must bring back all that has transpired here and hasten the arrival of the Earthly Catastrophe!”
“Otherwise, if the creatures of this realm are left unchecked, there may very well emerge another formidable enemy on the level of that ancient demon! At that time, it will be an immense trouble!”
After Superme God Xuanjun finished speaking, he directly put away the Magical Tool he had been using to observe, and said to the people behind him, “We should not linger in this place for long! The strength of the Sword Saint, Huo Feng, is terrifying. He might be able to sense our presence! We have no chance to slay Demon King Sun Yan now, so all we can do is watch helplessly as this monster runs rampant!”
“But as long as we preserve our vitality and endure these ten years, upon leaving the Celestial Desolation Realm and transmitting the news back, it will be a remarkable achievement!”
Superme God Xuanjun activated his magical treasure, intending to take the astonished crowd away from this place. Everything witnessed today was too horrifying and shocking. If it weren’t seen with one’s own eyes, no one would believe that the Celestial Desolation Realm, which was supposed to be in the primitive and barbaric era of cultivation, had already developed to such a degree and produced such astonishingly talented individuals…
The Sword Saint Huo Feng, Demon King Sun Yan, and the so-called Supreme God Lu Ai… These three rising figures on the stage are already unimaginably formidable. If they are not restrained and allowed to continue growing, it is only a matter of time before they become a calamity and chaos!
In the past, that ancient demon alone annihilated numerous cultivators of the World of Eight Desolations, making it nearly impossible to defend against. It eventually alerted two slumbering ancestral cultivators, and only at great cost were they able to extinguish it.
Therefore, since then, all realms have reached a consensus that they must not allow such a high-level being as that great demon to be born again in the Celestial Desolation Realm!
That is an absolute red line that must not be crossed!
However, in the current state of the Celestial Desolation Realm, there have been no less than three individuals who have surpassed this celestial boundary with their extraordinary talents…
In such a situation, how could Supreme God Xuanjun, one of the main forces to deal with the Earthly Catastrophe in the future, not be alarmed? If another great demon emerges in the Celestial Desolation Realm, then among those who will shed blood in the future, she may very well be one of them!
Amongst the white clouds, the foreign guests from various realms made the resolute decision to depart, no longer daring to pry into the movements in the distance.
Even if what is about to unfold next is undoubtedly an incredibly splendid spectacle!
However, amidst the ethereal white clouds, three figures suddenly emerged and stood resolutely in front of everyone.
These three individuals happen to be none other than the three brothers Hei Yan, who were previously in the Arctic Skyark Palace?
However, in the brief moment when Supreme God Xuanjun spoke, the three people had traversed thousands of miles and arrived at this location? And by chance, they happened to discover the people present here?
Supreme God Xuanjun’s expression turned slightly grim, and everyone behind her was filled with great astonishment.
They remained silent, all fixated on the three evil demons before them, eager to uncover the origins of these three evil demons. At this moment, nobody believed that these three evil demons were truly the so-called Hei Yan brothers anymore.
Upon witnessing the doubtful and vigilant gazes of the crowd, one of the rat demons burst into laughter and said, “My friends, it seems our true identities can no longer be concealed…”
The other rat demon beside shook its head and said, “It was never meant to be concealed in the first place…”
As the voice resounded, the three figures in the clouds transformed, revealing their true forms.
A sinister-looking middle-aged man…
With a melancholic expression and tattered garments, an emaciated old wandering monk…
And there stood, in between the two, a debonair gentleman in flowing white garments, exuding an air of elegance and refinement…
In the moment when the divine incarnation of the three appeared, all the foreign guests, including Supreme God Xuanjun, couldn’t help but have a drastic change in their countenance, no longer able to maintain their composure.
Because these three primordial legends are not a secret at all in the Celestial Desolation Realm!
“Heavenly Lord Lu Heng! Immortal Candle Dragon! And…” Supreme God Xuanjun stared fixedly at the three individuals in front of him, his face ashen, “Old Monk Jiu Mie, whose strength surpasses the heaven…”
Upon hearing the words of Supreme God Xuanjun, especially the last sentence, Jiu Mie, who had been smiling, couldn’t help but stiffen his expression, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Candle Dragon and Lu Heng burst into hearty laughter, simultaneously saying, “Indeed! It is precisely the Old Monk Jiu Mie, whose strength surpasses the heaven!”
“Jiu Mie is here! Why don’t you all kneel?” Candle Dragon said.
Lu Heng stroked his chin and chuckled, saying, “Within the cycle of reincarnation, those who praise the true name of Jiu Mie… shall attain eternal life!”
The mockery of two mischievous companions caused Jiu Mie’s face to darken.
However, though the three of them were laughing and joking, many visitors from various different realms, including Supreme God Xuanjun, couldn’t find any humor in it at all.
The cultivators exchanged a glance and in an instant transformed into more than twenty different streams of escape light, flying in all directions! It was a tacit decision made in a blink of an eye to flee in different directions, each seeking their own survival!
As long as they can escape with their lives, there will still be a way out!
However, now that Lu Heng and his two companions have appeared, how could they possibly be allowed to depart so easily?
With a smile, Candle Dragon on the clouds remained silent and motionless, directly closing its left eye. In an instant, the void around the cultivators turned into a terrifyingly gloomy darkness, as if the heavens were falling and the earth was collapsing!
They seemed to have fallen into another level of eerie space, no matter how desperately they flew, they couldn’t escape from this eerie, pitch-black world, perpetually lingering in the same spot!
Upon witnessing such a scene, Supreme God Xuanjun’s complexion drastically changed, “Zhu Jiuyin, you…”
She remembered Candle Dragon before her eyes, the last time she encountered the Earthly Catastrophe, they had a brief encounter. It was a being that had lived for many years, yet timid and never dared to engage in deadly battles with them, a coward without a trace of bravery. They managed to escape the Earthly Catastrophe through some kind of special technique.
However, it is this contemptible cowardice that, now that they have made a move, reveals a terrifying divine ability that she cannot easily escape from.
The boundless and eerie dark space before her eyes seems to have no end. No matter how she tries to flee, the three smiling individuals always stand outside the dark space, overlooking her. In this moment, she is like a fish in a jar, available for others to gaze and give advice, but no matter what, she cannot swim out of the small fishbowl.
The indescribable sense of humiliation left Supreme God Xuanjun infuriated.
She immediately transformed into escape light and flew towards the three individuals outside the space.
That is her only exit to leave this place!
However, Supreme God Xuanjun’s escape light speed was pushed to its limits, but the three individuals outside the dark space were well-prepared. In the instant that Supreme God Xuanjun burst out in flight, Jiu Mie directly took out a gourd from his worn-out cloth bag and uncorked it.
In a flash, an irresistible suction force overwhelmed Supreme God Xuanjun, who let out a scream before being swiftly drawn into the gourd, unable to even struggle.
And as Supreme God Xuanjun was captured, let alone the remaining group of cultivators.
After resolving the biggest trouble, Supreme God Xuanjun, Jiu Mie smilingly pointed the mouth of the gourd towards the dark space ahead. With a gentle shake of the gourd, more than twenty escape lights within the dark space were effortlessly drawn into the gourd, lacking any resistance.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty foreign realm cultivators were easily dealt with.
Even the most powerful and formidable Supreme God Xuanjun could not stir up any waves.
