The next moment.
A torrential demonic aura erupted from the black-robed figure. Ripples spread through the void as an immense, invisible force violently struck the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
The grand array wavered for a moment before stabilizing.
Life Soul!
After retrieving the Blood Bead, his very aura had broken through the bottleneck, and he had reached the Realm of the Life Soul.
The black-robed figure raised his head and glanced toward Fang Cheng.
Their eyes met. Fang Cheng stared into a pair of golden orbs, brimming with a wicked, unnatural light. Simultaneously, a cacophony of chaotic voices flooded his hearing, and a demonic will quietly seeped into his sea of consciousness.
Just then, the Resentment Demon Bead in Fang Cheng’s Qi Sea stirred slightly.
In that instant, the demonic will in his sea of consciousness evaporated, and the cacophony in his ears vanished just as strangely.
Fang Cheng saw a flash of astonishment and confusion in the black-robed figure’s eyes.
Then, with a flicker, the black-robed figure shattered the void and vanished without a trace.
With the black-robed figure’s departure, the entire Earth Abyss fell silent.
The Tier One Demons and Demon Fiends that had been on the third level also retreated in silence.
Inside and around the giant crater, a desolate silence reigned, leaving behind only the countless scars of a fierce battle.
From high in the sky, upon the Demon-Exorcising Platform of Celestial City Peak, a majestic voice called down, "Elders and Disciples of Celestial City Peak and Wo Yun Peak, proceed with repairing the Grand Array as planned. The other peaks are to recuperate on the spot."
As the voice faded, the Seven Kills Array dissipated. Cai Li and the others from Demon Lion Peak flew down to the Demon-Exorcising Platform, each sitting cross-legged to recover.
Cai Li called Fang Cheng to her side. With a look of approval in her eyes, she said, "I never thought you’d be the one to turn the tide this time."
Fang Cheng shook his head and said softly, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be broken by the wind. I’m afraid I stood out too much this time. I hope you can look out for me in the future, Senior Sister."
Cai Li replied coolly, "After this, just focus on your cultivation on Demon Lion Peak. You need not concern yourself with the outside world."
Fang Cheng nodded in acknowledgment.
Cai Li added, "That Celestial Demon Divine Technique of yours is tremendously powerful. It must be a legacy from a supreme expert of the Demon Sect. Be wary of the karma involved, and be careful of the backlash." ƒrēewebnovel.com
’Senior Sister is as perceptive as they say,’ Fang Cheng thought with a sigh. ’She saw the crux of the matter with a single glance.’
’The Demon Buddha isn’t just some supreme expert of the Demon Dao. According to his and Cen San Niang’s speculation, the Demon Buddha has likely already broken past the Dharma Realm. He’s probably an existence even more powerful than the founder of the Yinluo Sect.’
’A karmic backlash.’
Fang Cheng grew wary.
’Next time I run into Ren Yan...’
As the thought crossed his mind, he had a sudden realization: the Blood Bead the black-robed figure had just retrieved looked remarkably similar to the one Ren Yan had used to block Cai Li’s Sword Light Talisman!
’Could this Demon Tide be related to Ren Yan’s sect?’
He couldn’t help but frown.
Cai Li glanced at him, her voice entering his mind directly. "The Abyssal Demon Tides are becoming more frequent, and it seems a Celestial Demon is pulling the strings. I fear a demonic disaster is about to befall the outside world as well... Years ago, when the Supreme Elder left seclusion to battle the Southern Mang Demon King, victory was all but assured. But at the last moment, he was ambushed by a mysterious Cultivator using Demon Path Divine Techniques and returned grievously wounded. You must be extremely careful when you travel outside the sect in the future."
"I will remember," Fang Cheng nodded. frёewebηovel.cѳm
But in his mind, the image of Ren Yan surfaced once more.
First, Ren Yan had infiltrated the Xiao Family in the Southern Mang Mountains, where he’d attempted to ambush Gao Chong and Feng Jiuzhang by releasing a Third-stage Nightmare Demon to sow chaos.
Then, he had colluded with the Southern Mang Demons to ambush and assassinate Gao Chong, directly inciting all-out war between the Yinluo Sect and the Southern Mang Demons.
The Supreme Elder’s personal intervention, followed by his subsequent ambush, was also likely orchestrated by Ren Yan’s sect.
Then there was the Demon Dao avatar near the Divine Pillar Mountain Immortal City...
And now, this Demon Tide.
’What exactly are they planning?’
A chill crept through Fang Cheng’s heart.
