Free Web NovelChapter 2646: Chapter 2647: High Priest
The Spirit of Crystal Stone saw Ye Luo’s expression and laughed.
"According to common sense, that’s true. But the situation is different now. All the factions want my true form, which leaves my body unable to handle other matters. Moreover, a part of my origin source isn’t even in my body; it’s sealed in a space elsewhere!"
Even though she said this, Ye Luo did not agree immediately.
"If I risk my life to do this, what’s in it for me?"
The Spirit of Crystal Stone gritted her teeth. "I’ll let you handle my essence. That should be enough, right?"
Ye Luo was startled, looking at her. Her words basically meant she was handing over control to him!
"What? I’ve said this much, and you’re still worried!" the Spirit of Crystal Stone said with a grudge.
"Fine, I agree. Tell me what to do."
After all, Ye Luo originally just wanted to find a source of Spiritual Energy for his Divine Kingdom. Whether it’s the Spirit of Crystal Stone or the true form, it doesn’t matter, as long as the origin source is there, that’s enough.
Afterward, the Spirit of Crystal Stone sent a message to Ye Luo, and soon, he nodded.
Meanwhile, outside, more cultivators joined the chaotic battle. Demonic Qi filled the skies, with many from the Demon Race joining in. Similarly, many strong individuals from the third force also joined.
However, the defensive array set by those elders remained unbroken. It wasn’t because the formation was so brilliant, but rather because the demons couldn’t free their hands to deal with it.
"Brother Xiao, how’s the situation going?" one elder shouted.
"It’s nearly done. The true form of the Spirit of Crystal Stone is exceptionally formidable, far beyond our imagination. The power of the great array can hardly do anything to it!" said an anxious master surnamed Xiao.
If this formation can’t refine the origin source of the Spirit of Crystal Stone, then all their efforts would be in vain!
Boom!
Suddenly, the sky exploded, and an old human cultivator appeared quietly.
"Great! The High Priest has emerged!"
The face of the old man surnamed Xiao immediately lit up with joy.
"This formation was designed by the High Priest. Only he can unleash its full power!"
The other elders also showed hopeful expressions.
Despite their profound mana, facing a strong being like the origin of the Crystal Stone, born of nature, they felt powerless.
"The demons are audacious, as if we in the third force have no strong experts?" the High Priest roared with anger.
Immediately, the boundless Demonic Qi vanished, revealing the azure sky once more.
Many demons looked at the High Priest in terror. He was a renowned human strongman and the High Priest of the third force. Even the most arrogant demon crown princes dared not act too recklessly in his presence.
"Hehe, High Priest, you’re wrong. Our Demon King has reached a consensus with several major forces, allowing the younger generation to spar with each other. Does the High Priest think the younger generation of the third force is so foolish that they can’t compare with us?" the Great Crown Prince of the Eastern Demon God Temple laughed.
The other demon crown princes also smiled widely. Although they respected the High Priest, they knew he wouldn’t dare harm them.
If all these demon crown princes died, the demons would immediately go to war with the third force!
This was, after all, the territory of the Demon Race. Other races were weak; although they formed several major forces, they were ultimately at a disadvantage.
If the Demon Race was determined to attack other races, aside from a few powerful individuals, these major forces would undoubtedly be uprooted!
But that wouldn’t benefit the Demon Realm substantially.
"I won’t interfere with your sparring, but the Spirit of Crystal Stone is a treasure of the third region. If anyone tries to covet it, don’t blame me for being unkind!" the High Priest said coldly.
The demon crown princes did not reply, still smiling at the High Priest, but there was a trace of fear in their eyes.
"I will lend you a hand. The origin source of the Spirit of Crystal Stone must stay with our third force!"
After saying that, the High Priest began to command the formation.
Instantly, the formation’s power increased considerably, breaking the stalemate with the origin source of the Spirit of Crystal Stone!
Boom!
Soon, all the surrounding caves collapsed, and a brilliant Crystal Stone Mountain slowly emerged from the ground.
The Crystal Stone Mountain transformed into a ferocious beast’s visage, extremely grim! All around it, the power of the formation bolstered it.
Or, one could say, the Crystal Stone Mountain was forced out by the formation.
"Oh my God, is this the true form of the Spirit of Crystal Stone? It’s too terrifying!"
"This probably exceeds the Martial King Realm. Without the formation’s support, we’d all die here!"
The cultivators around fearfully looked at the Crystal Stone Mountain, knowing this was the true form of the Spirit of Crystal Stone.
Even the demon crown princes’ expressions turned serious.
"You damned insects dare disturb this king’s cultivation. You all must die!"
With that, the true form of the Spirit of Crystal Stone roared, and a massive amount of Spiritual Power emanated from its body.
Szzz!
Immediately, the great array began to falter.
"I didn’t expect you to hide your strength. It seems your injuries from that battle long ago have fully healed!" The High Priest’s eyes flickered as he looked at the true form of the Spirit of Crystal Stone.
"Hmph, I wondered who it was. Turns out, it’s just a mere priest. Even your king wouldn’t dare provoke me like this, you’re truly seeking death!"
With that, his enormous claw swiped toward the High Priest.
Instantly, a devastating force erupted from his claw!
"Not good!" the High Priest exclaimed, realizing the formation couldn’t contain the true form of the Spirit of Crystal Stone. He wasn’t beyond the Martial King Realm and was no match for it.
"Forget it, the Spirit of Crystal Stone has become too formidable to be easily subdued. You all should retreat!" The High Priest’s voice echoed from above, and then he immediately left.
"Hmph!" The Spirit of Crystal Stone’s rough voice resonated. Though a powerful being born of nature, its agility was quite limited. Otherwise, it would have captured the High Priest. But now, the High Priest was able to leave leisurely, and he couldn’t do anything about it.
Soon after, its gaze fell upon the surrounding cultivators, not saying a word more, and directly swiped at them.
"Damn it, how could this happen!"
The demon crown princes finally lost their composure. They initially thought they could come and take a share, but now it seemed no different from courting death.
