Chapter 183 - 212: Celestial Demon God, Hailed as Demon Lord, Spirited and Triumphant
Among those on the attack, Xiang Wentian—who had just been trying to curry favor with Black Spirit Ancestor—was the most vicious.
When he struck, black mist roiled across the sky and flames surged, as if he intended to roast Black Spirit Ancestor like a wild animal!
On the side of the Righteous Dao, many people stared, dumbfounded and confused.
They all clearly belonged to the Demon Dao sects. One moment they were laughing and joking, and the next they were at each other’s throats, trying to utterly destroy Black Spirit Ancestor!
Although people of the Demon Dao were known for their insidious cunning and for turning on each other without a shred of mercy, this turn of events was a bit too bizarre for anyone to comprehend.
At that moment, a Dao Palace Realm expert revealed the secret.
"The Cultivation Technique of the Red Flame Demon Sect is inherited from an Ancient True Demon. When cultivated to a profound Realm, it allows one to fuse with a statue of an Ancient Demon God and borrow its power!"
"Unfortunately, the Red Flame Demon Sect’s ultimate Celestial Demon God Statue was lost many years ago, its whereabouts unknown."
"Even now, with only two Demon God Statues, the Red Flame Demon Sect can contend with the White Bone Hall."
"They can stand on equal footing with the other top Demonic Forces and are currently ranked second among the Five Demonic Sects."
"Now that the Celestial Demon God Statue has been found, once it is successfully refined, the Red Flame Demon Sect’s power will likely reach its absolute peak!"
"The other Demonic Forces will no longer be able to resist them!"
’So that’s why.’
Only then did everyone understand.
No wonder Xiang Wentian and the others were repeatedly trying to kill Black Spirit Ancestor.
They were afraid that after the statue revived, Black Spirit Ancestor would successfully refine it, allowing the Red Flame Demon Sect to become the sole dominant power!
"In that case, Ancestor... should we intervene and help them get rid of Black Spirit Ancestor?"
A disciple finally reacted, asking with a solemn expression.
The rise of the Red Flame Demon Sect was certainly not a good thing for the Righteous Dao.
"Not yet. Let’s watch for now," the Dao Palace Realm powerhouse said, shaking his head slightly.
As they spoke, Black Spirit Ancestor was already covered in wounds under the siege of the Dao Palace Realm powerhouses, his blood splattering across the sky!
There wasn’t a single patch of unscathed skin on his body; it was all charred black and reeked of a foul, acrid stench.
If not for the fact that Black Spirit Ancestor’s Cultivation was profound, having reached the Ninth Level of the Daoist Palace Realm, and that he had also cultivated the Red Flame Demon Sect’s ultimate Body Cultivation Demon Skill—the True Demon Red Flame Body—making his Physique incomparably tough, any other Dao Palace Realm expert’s body would have been beaten to dust long ago.
Right now, Black Spirit Ancestor looked as wretched as a dying wolf.
His gaze was still ferocious, but the aura around him was faint and intermittent.
But even as he lay collapsed on the ground, he was still laughing.
Black Spirit Ancestor’s single remaining left eye slowly swept over Xiang Wentian and the others.
SHIING!
Suddenly, his body trembled and transformed into a deep black streak of light, shooting off in a certain direction!
That direction was precisely where the Demon God Statue had been knocked away earlier.
"This is bad!"
The expressions of Xiang Wentian and the others changed drastically. They all struck out at once, trying to stop Black Spirit Ancestor from reaching the Demon God Statue.
But Black Spirit Ancestor seemed completely unfazed by the terrifying attacks whistling toward him.
He threw himself recklessly toward the Demon God Statue, his one remaining left eye bursting with incomparable devotion and fanaticism!
"With my broken body, I serve my Lord!"
BOOM—
With a fanatical roar, Black Spirit Ancestor was struck by the attacks from Xiang Wentian and the others in the next instant.
His already broken body immediately exploded amidst the fierce onslaught, bursting into a cloud of blood mist!
But strangely, this cloud of blood mist condensed instead of scattering.
The moment it burst, it was enveloped by a black vortex on the Demon God Statue and viciously pulled into the statue’s head.
In that instant, a monstrous wave of Demonic Qi erupted from the Golem’s body, surging upward.
A massive amount of black Qi poured out from within the statue.
It spread out in all directions like a tide.
In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire sky.
And the black, four-headed, eight-armed Demon God Statue seemed to have fully awakened.
As its eight scarlet eyes opened completely, an ancient, powerful, and incomparably evil aura rapidly spread out.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The revived Demon God Statue began to slowly move its body, emitting a series of grating sounds.
Its ferocious, robust body unfurled before everyone’s eyes like a black mountain range.
A clear and immense pressure bore down in all directions!
At this very moment, every single person present felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on their hearts, heavy and suffocating.
The scene was filled with monstrous demonic flames—it was terrifying beyond belief!
CRACK!
At that same moment, in the sky above, the lightning that had been brewing to its peak suddenly erupted.
A lightning bolt a thousand zhang wide violently tore across the firmament!
In an instant, the burst of light illuminated the Demon God Statue’s monstrous, four-headed, eight-armed, and ferocious demonic silhouette!
It was as if a true Ancient Demon God had descended.
Everyone was trapped in a quagmire of terror, unable to escape.
"So this is the body of a Celestial Demon God?"
The Golem stretched its eight arms, a look of intoxication on its faces, and said in a low voice, "This power is truly unprecedented."
The ancient, hoarse voice coming from the Golem was incredibly familiar.
It was none other than Black Spirit Ancestor, who had previously exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Apparently, at the final moment, Black Spirit Ancestor had abandoned his physical body, and his Divine Spirit had entered the Demon God Statue, fusing with it as one.
After a brief silence.
Lady Xuan Yin of the Celestial Yin Sect took the initiative to step forward and bow to the Demon God Statue.
She spoke respectfully, "Xuan Yin congratulates the Ancestor on achieving Great Success in your Demon Skill and successfully awakening the body of the Celestial Demon God. You deserve the respect of all paths!"
Lady Xuan Yin’s words seemed to serve as a reminder to everyone else present.
The other Demon Dao masters, as if waking from a dream, all stepped forward to offer their congratulations.
"Xiang Wentian, Vice Sect Master of the Soul-devouring Demon Sect, congratulates the Ancestor on achieving Great Success in your Divine Skill. May your might overwhelm the world!"
"The Third Elder of the Purgatory Demon Sect..."
The Demon Dao Powerhouses who, just moments before, had been delivering ruthless, fatal blows in an attempt to destroy Black Spirit Ancestor, now had attitudes that had done a complete one-eighty.
They all lowered their heads, bowed their bodies, and humbled themselves as much as possible.
They submitted to the Black Spirit Ancestor before them.
The speed at which they changed their tune was astonishing.
Having successfully fused with the Demon God Statue and leaped from being the patriarch of the Red Flame Demon Sect to the Demon Lord of all, Black Spirit Ancestor looked at the crowd bowing respectfully before him.
A smile touched his faces.
He didn’t seem to mind the exaggerated praise from the Demon Dao masters at all; in fact, he quite enjoyed it.
He seemed to have completely forgotten his miserable appearance when he was being besieged earlier.
Black Spirit Ancestor scanned the crowd and then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, there is no need for such formalities."
"When I summoned the Celestial Demon God Statue earlier, I used its body to sense that deep within the prison, not only is the Celestial Net Sword buried, but the Mingfeng Saber is as well!"
"Why don’t you all follow me, storm the Great Xia Prison, and help me seize the Dual Sacred Artifacts!"
"When the day comes that I rule the Demon Dao, I will surely assist all of you in entering the Dragon Mansion!"
"What do you all think?"
After speaking, Black Spirit Ancestor swept his gaze over the crowd, a dangerous light glinting in his eight scarlet eyes!
The hearts of the Demon Dao masters trembled!
"We are willing to serve the Demon Lord!"
Immediately, all the Demon Dao Powerhouses responded in unison. Not a single one dared to refuse.
At this moment, the Demon Dao side had achieved a rare unity, giving off a sense that they were united as one, with their hearts and minds aligned.
The pressure instantly shifted to the Righteous Dao’s side.
Many of their faces paled, and they couldn’t help but take a step back.
The Eight-armed Demon God before them possessed unparalleled might, and its Demonic Qi blotted out the sky!
Faced with such terrifying power, even the Dao Palace Realm powerhouses felt a chill in their hearts, not daring to step forward and challenge it.
Black Spirit Ancestor didn’t even bother to look at them. His eight scarlet eyes were fixed intently on the prison below.
Deep within his eyes, a look of pride and satisfaction couldn’t help but surface. ’With my current Celestial Demon God body and the supreme Dual Sacred Artifacts I’m about to obtain, who in this world could possibly stop me!?’
"Hahaha!"
At this thought, Black Spirit Ancestor stood high in the sky, hands clasped behind his back, and couldn’t help but laugh heartily!
Then, he waved a large hand and announced, full of heroic spirit, "Everyone!"
"Follow me, and we shall crush this Great Xia Prison!"
SHIIING!!
However, the moment his voice fell, a blinding Sword Aura flooded everyone’s vision.
Like a roaring Golden Dragon.
It descended from the heavens!
And like a flash of lightning, it slashed across Black Spirit Ancestor’s necks!
Immediately after.
Four magnificent heads, still wearing smiles!
From high in the sky...
Came tumbling down!
