Chapter 847 - 842: So You Are the Real Invader of This World!
Very quickly, the Black Emperor’s face transformed into the face of Xiyuan Zhang.
"I have achieved immortality..."
His tone was gentle and alluring: "Come, descendants of the White Tiger Oath... Become one with the ancestors, just like me!"
Members of the Xiyuan Clan, Demon Control Masters, trembled and shivered.
Xiyuan Lin, with tears streaming down his face, angrily shouted, "Xiyuan Zhang! You are willingly degenerating; you are no longer the patriarch of the Xiyuan family! You cannot deceive us—"
"Watch out."
Dongbo Chengzhi raised his hand, an invisible gust crossing space, pushing Xiyuan Lin’s body aside.
On the ground, a wave of demonic power surged, but it hit nothing.
Xiyuan Lin watched with lingering fear, this wave of demonic power was evidently a method the Great Dark Heaven absorbed from Xiyuan Zhang just recently. His emotions were stirred, and he hadn’t noticed.
Actually, as long as one’s guard is raised, this absorption method is not hard to avoid.
The head of the Great Dark Heaven turned ninety degrees, revealing the face of Emperor Yan Beiming Guicang: "Beiming Jihu, my direct descendant, come, come, come..."
Beiming Jihu snorted, his famed sword "Black Obsidian" unsheathed, and suddenly stabbed down! A dark yellow earth element demonic power was forcibly cut off. The stone platform made of core black rock split with cracks from the clash of powers.
Following that were faces of Emperor Qing Dongbo Yue People, as well as Red Emperor Zhu Xuan.
Of course, the face of Red Emperor Zhu Xuan appeared in a dormant state with eyes closed.
This method of absorbing others by the Great Dark Heaven, hiding is not difficult. The demon ancestor didn’t expect to directly absorb everyone but used this method to disturb the human coalition’s mindset.
This move proved quite effective, leaving the powerhouses of the Four Great Oaths bewildered and losing their will to fight.
For Ghost Warriors, if their own minds are unguarded, it’s a terrifying thing, meaning the demon power sealed within them might backfire! Spiritual power could transform back into demonic power.
This is how a Ghost Warrior turns into a Demon; it’s truly a matter of one thought.
Only Beiming Jihu and Dongbo Chengzhi maintained their stable Dao hearts.
They touched the threshold of the realm of the Ten Thousand Things in Nature, their power comparable to ancestors. In their view, ancestors aren’t sacredly untouchable.
Besides them, even Zhu Que and Flame Blade Princess showed signs of confusion.
Is Red Emperor Zhu Xuan the ancestor of the Vermilion Bird Oath?
Is the Red Emperor slain by Gangxin at the Red Annihilation River the ancestor of Zhu Xuan?
This left the two somewhat disordered.
The Awakened fell into despair too.
"Is this the difficulty of the S-level Golden Branch?" Leia murmured.
Rein wore a bitter expression: "Destroying the Land of Crystals was hard enough... but compared to the Black Heaven Palace, it’s no match."
Salacia shook her head: "There may be many demons in the Land of Crystals, but at least there’s courage to fight. But this Great Dark Heaven... can we truly defeat it? I’m afraid the Native Martial Artists don’t even have the courage to swing their blade at it!"
Clang—
Suddenly, a clear sound rang, startling everyone, turning their eyes towards the source.
Bai Pu stepped forward, taking two steps. The clear sound just now was made when his Doomsday Spear struck the ground.
"Hey. Should I call you Great Dark Heaven, or call you the Black Emperor?"
The Great Dark Heaven gazed at Bai Pu’s protruding figure, laughing sinisterly: "I am the demon ancestor, there’s no need to use the name Black Emperor anymore."
"That’s not right, Black Emperor. You haven’t completely assimilated the consciousness of other demon emperors yet; you’re only temporarily suppressing them.
"The demon general Hundred Eyes you transformed into earlier said that the task given to Xiyuan Zhang is half complete... I suspect reasonably, the other half of your task for him is to stall the Four Great Oaths, preventing the expedition team from reaching the Black Heaven Palace?"
Bai Pu smiled slightly, "This indicates you still have flaws... I think you need time to fully integrate the consciousness of the Three Emperors, right? So, the time we seized from Xiyuan Zhang is the key to victory!"
The front-faced Black Emperor’s expression slightly changed, coldly saying: "You’re too arrogant, Gangxin. Don’t think you hold the wisdom, I know your origin!"
"Gangxin, you are from Heaven Beyond Heaven! Maybe only you outsiders here can survive, but this world has become the Demon Land; it cannot contain you anymore."
The Awakened felt even more scared, in the face of the Great Dark Heaven, they felt stripped bare, under the spotlight.
Because the biggest secret of the Awakened lies in their origin from the reality world. With the cover of the World Mystery, the Awakened have a superior feeling of "players facing NPCs."
And to encounter the demon ancestor, capable of piercing through the World Mystery, pointing directly at their real identity!
This shock to the soul was even greater than the shock of the Four Great Oath warriors hearing their ancestors were demon emperors.
Bai Pu smiled slightly: "Indeed, you’re not a local either, huh. I always wondered why the Spirit Realm Will’s second mainline task was so eager for the Awakened to accept it, promoting directly to Major General, awarding military merits, and providing Golden Return Scrolls to eliminate future worries... Turns out you are the invader of this world! The target Gaia’s Will wants to eliminate!"
Bai Pu’s comments, and the recent words from the Great Dark Heaven, the Awakened could understand. Because of the World Mystery’s influence, the majority of natives couldn’t comprehend...
Dongbo Chengzhi looked at Bai Pu with some amazement, then raised his head to look at the Great Dark Heaven, his gaze finally fixed on the White Dragon Fang in his hand.
Of course, Dongbo Chengzhi’s small gesture was unnoticed by others because everyone’s attention was focused on the confrontation between Bai Pu and the Great Dark Heaven.
"Gangxin, I know you’re a pawn of Gaia’s Will, capable of summoning Gaia’s Will’s gaze at any time."
At this point, the Great Dark Heaven no longer maintained the facade, "I won’t resort to using the Divine Envoy’s powers against you.
"Merely relying on the power of the demon ancestor I have stolen while lurking for a millennium in this world, coupled with the mystical arts of the Four Great Oath ancestors, and complemented by the nearly inexhaustible supply of demon power from the Source of Demon Power in Profound Water Palace... dealing with you is as simple as crushing a bug! And borrowing the demon power source from Profound Water Palace, assimilating other demon emperors is completely manageable, it only requires more time."
"The Source of Demon Power in Profound Water Palace?"
Bai Pu chuckled, "Great Dark Heaven... or rather, Black Emperor Xiyuan Bo! I’ve long noticed the anomaly of Profound Water Palace; do you think I would not leave a contingency? If your demon power source were also lost... would Emperor Qing Dongbo Yue People and Emperor Yan Beiming Guicang turn around and suppress you?"
The current "Great Dark Heaven" is dominated by the consciousness of Black Emperor Xiyuan Bo.
The other two emperors, not to mention the sleeping Red Emperor, Emperor Yan and Emperor Qing lost their demon power source, easily suppressed by the Black Emperor, forced to conserve strength and avoid confrontation.
If Black Emperor also lost his demon power source, the Three Great Demon Emperors would return to the same starting line, even with the absorption of Xiyuan Zhang, unable to break the balance.
Then the Three Emperors would compete again for control of the main consciousness, altering the Black Heaven Palace’s situation dramatically!
"Are you bluffing me?" Black Emperor coldly said, "Truth be told, my Source of Demon Power is named ’Jade Fall and Yellow Springs,’ located at the Nine Nether Sea Eye beneath Profound Water Palace.
"Jade Fall and Yellow Springs have mighty dissolving power, a hundred times more potent than the waters of Yellow Springs Belt! Nine Nether Sea Eye, whether for humans or demons, is a perilous place. You can’t even reach the Nine Nether Sea Eye, let alone leave something to destroy Jade Fall and Yellow Springs."
Bai Pu smiled slightly: "Is that so?"
Suddenly, the black body of the Great Dark Heaven shook violently!
The front-faced Black Emperor started to twist, a series of howls erupted:
"Impossible, impossible! My Jade Fall and Yellow Springs, my Source of Demon Power... how could it! How could it... lose connection!"
