Chapter 1517 - 771: Forsaking Darkness for the Light
"Since everyone has questions, I might as well be open about it," the Rotten Ape said calmly. "Though this matter is small, it pertains to You Sui's centennial grand plan.
The contract is in place. As long as you all help me achieve this, you can take all of the Seven Cities. Moreover, in front of the Elder Anvil in the future, there will be other rewards."
As soon as the words were spoken, the previously stiff and cold atmosphere instantly warmed up, and everyone's faces lit up with smiles and enthusiasm.
There was no gap at all, just like Freljord people meeting in a foreign land, sympathizing with each other, holding hands and looking at each other with tearful eyes.
Since you mentioned Elder Anvil, what else is there to say?
You can take these Seven Cities and make use of them!
If you had said you were working for Elder Anvil earlier, everyone wouldn't have been so worried!
After all, You Sui's goods are really pure, and moreover, doing something that earns face before Elder Anvil and is profitable as well is really worth it!
The Calamity Lord of Xiu Feng was the first to speak: "All of it sounds good, if Elder Anvil has needs, Blood Eye will definitely go all out!"
The Ten Thousand Captain nodded firmly: "Same here!"
Du Luojia seemed to twirl a flower, smiling without speaking.
As for the Tyrant... as always, aloof and annoying, watching and not participating, fitting his character: What Elder Anvil? Never heard of him! Is he really that badass? Let him come show me!
On the surface indifferent, actually, some people were almost gnashing their teeth.
You say such a good thing, why didn't Elder Anvil come personally? I almost had him over as a guest!
Even if my hospitality wasn't enough, I could pull an old dog from the Association to accompany him and say some auspicious words during toasts!
Don't you agree, Heavenly Furnace?
Unfortunately, Heavenly Furnace Old Dog doesn't know how Elder Anvil Old Dog thinks, can't figure much out.
And now at this critical moment, all eyes turned to him.
Your turn!
Under everyone's gaze, the Abyss Lord, shrouded in black mist, took out an amber-colored crystal from his chest—the deepest crystal of the earth veins of Luo Island, a natural spatial coordinate point, crucial for bypassing workshop suppression and Tian Yuan's obstruction, and leading everyone to descend from above for a surprise raid with the help of the Tyrant!
No one else but an Usurper like the Abyss Lord, who has secretly operated on Luo Island for many years, could accomplish this.
Likewise, it's genuine and real.
There's not a bit of falsehood.
"Good, good, good, this battle shall make the Abyss Lord the first merit!" The Rotten Ape laughed heartily after checking: "After the matter is accomplished, You Sui will not be stingy with rewards!"
Ji Jue couldn't help but sneer, still painting pies, why don't you give a bit that's directly edible!
Everyone was already sharpening their knives, eager with anticipation.
Outside the camp, the Blood Eye's Mad Slaughter army had assembled, over a hundred victims of Mad Slaughter had begun the Blood Drink ritual, gnawing on the hearts in their hands, their bodies bursting with scorching blood light.
"Sweep across Luo Island, bloodbath the Seven Cities!"
The Ten Thousand Captain laughed maniacally, gripping the exaggerated axe in his hand: "By then, none of the sacrificial offerings need to be submitted, grab as much as you can, depends on your skills!"
Immediately, the jubilant shouts were like thunder, unending and continuous.
And within the enormous crystal carried by the Calamity Lord, bursts of bone-chilling cold erupted, the imprisoned riotous power surged inside, roaring incessantly as if alive.
The protector around Du Luojia flickered, enveloped in lotus illusion light, an unspeakable aura of majesty, but suddenly, his smile stiffened for a moment.
Intuition warning.
The Path of Supreme can know beforehand—though cultivation and improvement in the Ascension Series are difficult, the results obtained are equally strange and inexplicable, often defying logic.
In the long practice and meditation, the intuition and nature honed can sometimes almost be premonitory, feeling the incoming crisis. Just like a wolf's keen perception of malice.
Suddenly, a sense of unease arose in Du Luojia's heart, as if there was some change ahead. But soon, that instantaneous feeling quickly diminished and gradually faded away.
He couldn't help but turn the prayer beads in his hand, the creation from the Path of Filth coursed along with perception, and soon, a conclusion was reached—some small trouble, but not big.
Instantly, in an atmosphere of eager enthusiasm, he subtly retreated half a step, protecting everyone in front of his chest.
In contrast, that imposter Tyrant audaciously stood at the front with hands behind his back, flaunting and swaggering like a ruler of the world, truly embarrassing.
But it's fine too, so that the first to rush forward dies first...
Du Luojia sneered internally, but his expression became even more compassionate, hands folded, like a Divine Buddha.
In the midst of a complex Secret Ritual, the bizarre sacrificial offerings were already fully prepared.
To conquer Luo Island, Rotten Ape spared no expense.
He even directly used treasured items hidden at the bottom of the chest, setting up the Secret Ritual of the Gate of Eternity, directly sending so many transcendent beings and Chosen Ones to Luo Island!
"Everyone get ready."
On the withered body of the Rotten Ape, pitch-black spiritual essence surged, continuously pouring into the sixteen-sided crystal, instantly, layers of illusion light emerged from the void, the scene of Luo Island appeared before everyone.
BOOM!!!
In a great explosion, it was as if everyone entered a tunnel, fractures like wormholes extended straight ahead, countless strange lights whistled past, dazzling and mesmerizing yet at the same time, inevitably spine-chilling!
The great power of spacetime manifested at this moment, slightest mistake, could split someone in two and send them to the ends of the earth north and south.
The Secret Ritual kept trembling, suddenly a crack spread, screams echoing.
In a corner, a member of the Mad Slaughter army still drinking blood was grazed by a trivial fragment of light, instantly letting out wails.
Half of his body rapidly aged, weathered into half a corpse, while the other half regressed quickly, devolving from a strong man into a hunchbacked youth, a scarred teenager, finally becoming an infant and a remnant fetus.
After falling to the ground, the entire body shattered like glass into smithereens, completely vanishing without a trace!
The rift is still expanding...
The expressions of the others immediately turned stern, glaring at the Rotten Ape: "What is going on?"
The Rotten Ape's body trembled slightly, as if drenched in sweat, having not anticipated the situation before it. Yet, immediately after, the Abyss Lord at the forefront suddenly shook, as if struck by lightning.
It seemed unbelievable, and he turned back in shock.
"What are you doing!"
The Abyss Lord roared in shock and anger, "No! This is not going to..."
BOOM!!!!
In that instant, amid a thunderous roar akin to the blast of a steam whistle, the world spun, the Secret Ritual completely collapsed, and the illusion before their eyes shattered with a crash.
In the midst of intense dizziness, nothing could be heard, seen, smelled, or touched.
All five senses and six perceptions seemed to have stopped entirely.
Yet in that brief moment of void, shorter than a mere instant, Du Luojia's self-nature and intuition, like a Treasure Bead, once again warned!
Amidst an almost illusory perception, the brutal killing intent of the Legion surged like a tide, sweeping over...
"Hou!"
Without hesitation, Du Luojia formed a handprint, chanting the True Words. Even though he couldn't feel his limbs or speak words, years of practice had already turned everything into an instinctual reaction driven by the heart.
In the instant of a slight thought movement, the body, the void, and the outside world naturally triggered a chain reaction, and the Protective Power of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Groups exploded!
In fierce collision, the killing intent was repelled backward.
The protective light enveloped him, safe and sound!
And within this fleeting moment, after steading themselves again, what appeared before everyone was not the scene of Luo Island, but a harsh and chilling enclosed iron light.
Filling the sky, covering the earth, obstructing all directions, shrouding everything.
Like a cage.
All they could hear was an unbelievable, piercingly wretched scream!
It's the Tyrant!
Dark blood splattered violently, black mist stirred and dissipated, and right before everyone's eyes, the Tyrant was sent flying backward!
His disguise shattered, revealing a blood-soaked body, his chest pierced by a solemn and terrifying Vajra Needle, a horrifying force erupted, dragging him up and nailing him to the iron wall!
Severely injured!
"Wh..."
The Ten Thousand Captains suddenly turned back.
Du Luojia instinctively stepped back, eyes wide, raising his hand, opening his mouth, seemingly wanting to explain. But no one could hear his words anymore.
At this moment, what echoed through the sealed heavens and earth was an unprecedented violent tremor!
Spiritual matter surged like a tide, descending from the sky, engulfing everyone within it.
Six phases - move, rise, sing, tremor, roar, strike - appeared from the violent fluctuations. Each phase had three transformations, the eighteen qualitative changes converged into one, causing the pure spiritual shock to be reborn, its power exponentially soaring.
That was Wulou Temple's secret technique...
Spreading across the six vibrations of the three thousand worlds!
——[Great Momentum]!
In an instant, it was as though the three thousand worlds welcomed a great light shining everywhere.
Countless music unordered yet resounded, countless lotus blooms blossomed in the void, as if the Pure Land of Bliss descended to the mortal world. Yet the more beautiful this scene became, the more ferocious the killing intent grew, the more terrifying the destruction!
With a single thought, six vibrations, eighteen transformations merged into one, a simple spiritual shock, but when those amounts exaggerated to this degree, a nuclear reaction could trigger!
The sound of explosions filled the ears, the heads of the Mad Slaughter Army exploded on the spot, their souls dissipating.
Layer after layer of impact, the grievance poison of Wulou Temple spread, infiltrating with no gaps for escape. Even those who barely held on would feel their souls rapidly declining and withering...
The Calamity Lord and the Ten Thousand Captains' vision went black, fissures appeared on their whole body, nearly severely injured.
They instinctively held up their defenses, now struggling just to make a move - the reason the six vibrations could become Wulou Temple's ultimate technique was not just because of its impact, but also due to the large-scale disturbance and intervention in the spiritual realm. Within the cover of Great Momentum, all techniques were now required to take a discount.
"Save... save me..."
An anguished scream echoed from the iron wall, the deeply wounded Abyss Lord struggled in terror, wailing, right before their eyes, quickly turning to ashes, the dark Law of the Usurper exposed, desperately encircling his own authority, barely struggling.
Next, pierced by the Vajra Pestle nailed to his chest, ground into dust!
Dead!
"Du Luojia, what are you doing!"
In his fury, the Rotten Ape turned back, incredulous.
At that moment, everyone felt the sound of something breaking within their souls.
The shackles loosened...
Contract!
The contract between them had been torn apart!
"Du Luojia, well done!"
Xu Chaoxian's figure appeared from the void, laughing up at the sky, clapping and praising: "Turning to the light from darkness, the most precious act! The Federation will not forget you!"
