Chapter 597: I'd Rather Die Than Yield!
Yin Mountain Boundary, in a deep and unfathomable cave.
The moonlight shone through the cracks in the cave and sprinkled on the two monks.
Wearing a thorn ring on his head, his expression was solemn, Zhao Ran Bing was dressed in black, and the other was Li Shuidao who was fluttering in green clothes.
The two of them are working together to build a boundary-breaking teleportation array, which is the passage between the Yin Mountain Realm and the Immortal Realm.
Zhao Ran Bing held a "Void Stone" from the Yin Mountain Realm in his hand, and it emitted a faint blue light, as if it contained endless mysteries.
"Only by using this Void Stone of the Yin Mountain Realm can we build a Boundary Breaking Teleportation Array leading to the Yin Mountain Realm." Zhao Ran Bing's voice was low and powerful, and as she spoke, she embedded the Void Stone into the core of the formation.
Li Shuidao was carefully adjusting the pattern of the formation on the side, his fingers gently sliding over the cold stone face, studying the mystery of the formation rune.
On this day, the aborigines perform a grand sacrificial ceremony. They erected high altars and offered sacrifices to the creatures they had hunted from the sea. The flames were blazing, black smoke was billowing up, and there was an eerie and solemn atmosphere in the air.
The mountain peaks were torn apart by an invisible force, and a bottomless crack stretched across the mountaintops, and debris splattered and dust flew up.
Zhao Ran Bing took a deep breath and said, "The teleportation array under the underground palace, I will destroy it, and I will never open it again for at least ten years." β
Zhao Ranbing looked at Li Shuidao with deep eyes, as if he had something to say. She hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Li Daoyou, you have already cultivated to the level of a fifth-order demon venerable in the Shadow Demon Realm, why do you still want to return to the human race?" Your exercises don't look like the exercises of the human race, wouldn't it be better to stay in the Demon Realm? β
When Li Shuidao heard this, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different. Although I practice demonic skills, my roots are in the human race. I can only truly find my own path when I return to the human race. β
In the crack, more than a dozen figures fled out in panic, all of them were second-order Terran cultivators, but at this moment, they were like lost dogs, embarrassed. Their eyes were filled with despair and fear, for above them, a terrifying presence loomed.
"Great Lord of Shadows, I have completed your assignment." Flying Shadow's voice was low and respectful, and his gaze was fixed on the tall, majestic, statue-like mysterious being in front of himβthe Lord of Shadows.
The Lord of Shadows slowly opened his eyes, and there was a deep light in his eyes, as if he could see all the vanity in the world. He nodded slightly, and his voice was distant and profound: "Very good, Feiying, you are worthy of my favorite heir." You've completed a task, and you'll be baptized with the cold light of the Abyss to further enhance your shadow power. β
Li Shuidao held the fifth-order demon core of Feiying in his hand, and with a slight flip, the demon core turned into a black light and quietly disappeared into his virtual realm.
In his other hand, he clutched a piece of crystal clear jade. It was a token given to him by the Heavenly Immortal Alliance, and he could contact the top level of the Immortal Alliance in one direction. However, at this moment, a trace of determination flashed in Li Shuidao's eyes, and with a slight pinch of his fingers, the treasure jade turned into a ball of powder in his hand and drifted away with the wind.
Zhao Ran Bing picked up a blue stone from the ruins, and the stone emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless mysterious power.
As soon as the words fell, Feiying's figure turned into a black shadow and instantly pounced on the dozen or so Terran monks. His speed seemed to transcend the constraints of space, making it impossible for people to react at all.
The shadow demon realm is dark and boundless, and under the abyss of all worlds, there is a gray square, as if it has been forgotten by time.
β¦β¦
Suddenly, black flames burst out above the altar. The flame was unusual, with a cold and eerie aura. Immediately afterward, a huge shadow fell from the sky and enveloped the entire altar.
"I've finally found the Terran's Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Array." Shadow's voice was cold and hoarse, as if it were a call from hell, "Today, I will destroy it in one fell swoop!" β
As the last magic battle was played, the entire teleportation array began to flow brightly, as if a portal to the other world was about to open.
"Finally found this Terran's boundary-breaking teleportation array, you go and destroy it!" The voice of the Flying Shadow was cold and firm, echoing through the empty valley.
In the midst of the vibration, the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Array began to crack, and cracks spread rapidly like spider webs. Eventually, with a loud bang, the entire teleportation array completely collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.
Zhao Ran Bing cast a Dao method and turned into beams of light, firmly locking the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Array. Then, she whispered, and the air around her began to ripple.
"The Lord of Shadows has descended!" The natives cheered excitedly, with a look of frenzy on their faces. They seem to see a glimmer of hope, confident that the Lord of Shadows will help them hunt down the monsters of the sea and save their people.
On the island, there are countless totems of the god of shadows. Crudely outlined in wood and rope, these totems are rudimentary, but they contain a deep belief and reverence of the indigenous people.
As Feiying's words fell, his figure finally dissipated completely, leaving only an empty void.
Above the square, the Shadow Demon Venerable Flying Shadow walked slowly, holding a tarnished aqua blue stone in his hand, which was the Void Stone from the Yin Mountain Realm.
Celestial.
Li Shuidao nodded in agreement. He said in a deep voice, "I will tell the Lord of Shadows the location of this teleportation array. β
"Good! With this Void Stone, I can return to the Lord of Shadows and add another merit to the cause of my clan! Flying Shadow's voice was full of confidence and anticipation.
"You lowly creatures are worthy to believe in the Lord of Shadows?" Flying Shadow said indifferently. His voice was cold and cruel, as if it came from the Nine Hells.
At the top of a towering mountain, the previously quiet atmosphere was shattered by a deafening loud bang.
"Lord Demon Venerable, this is the key material for the construction of the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Array, the Void Stone." Zhao Ran Bing respectfully presented the Void Stone to the Flying Shadow.
"Ahh However, his eyes became sharper and sharper, as if he had found some kind of strength in this pain.
"O great Lord of Shadows, descend to our island!" The native elder held his scepter and shouted loudly. His voice echoed across the empty island, appearing unusually loud and solemn.
As the spell ended, the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Array suddenly erupted with dazzling light, as if it was about to illuminate the entire valley. However, under the suppression of the magic power of Zhao Ran Bing and the others, the light quickly dimmed, and was replaced by a violent vibration.
"I know what to do." Li Shuidao said in a low voice.
A chill flashed in Flying Shadow's eyes, and he took a deep breath before replying respectfully, "Yes, Great Lord of Shadows. I will complete this task as soon as possible and bring back the soul of the Holy Dharma King for you. β
The abyss of all worlds, the bottom of the abyss.
At this moment, Li Shuidao not only turned his back on the Lord of Shadows, but also did not bird the Heavenly Immortal Alliance.
With that, Flying Shadow violently ripped through his own soul, only to see the power of the incomparably pure shadow dissipate like smoke, and his figure gradually became blurred.
A scream was heard, and the dozen or so Terran monks fell in a pool of blood, their souls ruthlessly torn apart under the clutches of the Flying Shadow, turning into black smoke and dissipating into the air.
Flying Shadow took the Void Stone, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
However, Flying Shadow was expressionless, and his voice was cold and firm: "That's right! You have purified the power of my shadows with the cold light of the abyss, but you have laid a heavy shackle on my soul. You can wipe me out with just one thought, and you want me to be your puppet, and even absorb me completely after I continue to grow stronger! β
Many demons chimed in: "Lord of Shadows, your greatness is everywhere! Under your leadership, the demons will become the masters of the world! β
With that, the figure of the Flying Shadow gradually disappeared into the shadows, leaving only the tall and majestic Lord of Shadows, standing quietly above the black and white square.
Zhao Ranbing listened to Li Shuidao's words and seemed to be a little touched. She nodded and said, "Okay, then prove your loyalty to the Terran to the Immortal Alliance." This is a piece of precious jade, and if you hold this thing in your hand, you can pass the message to the Immortal League. However, the Immortal Alliance will not pass on any news to you. β
Feiying's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to him. Not only did he lose a Terran power who believed in him, but he also lost a powerful assistant.
"This man's name is King Mortal." The voice of the Lord of Shadows rang out again, "He once betrayed the Terrans for the sake of the 'Ghost Light Bodhi', but when he received the 'Shadow Light Bodhi' as a gift from me, he betrayed our Shadow Demon Realm. Now that he is hiding in the fairy realm, it is your task to find him, slay him, and bring his soul to me. β
However, the Lord of Shadows is not as merciful as they think.
β¦β¦
The entire island was instantly filled with an aura of terror and death. The natives, who once believed in the god of shadows, were now the targets of his killing.
The fairy world is vast, boundless, clouds and mist, and the stars are twinkling. In the midst of this vast expanse of heaven and earth, there is a barren island, lonely in the vast sea.
"What are you doing! Why do you want to do this to those who believe in me? The voice of the Lord of Shadows echoed in the depths of the Flying Shadow's soul like rolling thunder.
Feiying sneered, and the voice of the soul was full of determination: "I, Feiying, would rather die than give in!" β
The Flying Shadow's spirit gradually dissipated, but his voice echoed in the void: "Lord of Shadows, you claim to be in control of all things, but you didn't expect to have today's fruit, right?" Although I'm dead, I don't want to be your puppet anymore! That's how I have a personality! β
Flying Shadow's brow furrowed slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind. It was a man he once knew, a traitor who had betrayed the Terrans.
How could there be a demon who would rather choose death than choose to be sheltered by himself.
On the side, a magnificent Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Array stood quietly, emitting a faint light, as if telling the glory of the past.
The island is home to a group of natives, with rough skin and ragged clothes, but with a primitive determination and fanaticism in their eyes. They worship a mysterious being known as the God of Shadows, believing that he can bring them strength and protection.
In the depths of the abyss of the Ten Thousand Worlds, the roar of the Lord of Shadow's rage was like a storm.
With a burst of eerie laughter, there were countless shadows that coincided, he was the Shadow Demon Venerable, named Flying Shadow, his face was hidden in the darkness, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes, flashing with a cold and cruel light.
This descending Shadow Demon Venerable Flying Shadow seemed to coincide with countless demon shadows, and his eyes revealed a bright red blood light. He looked at these ignorant and pious natives, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
In an instant, the entire island turned into a living hell.
When the native elder heard this, his face changed, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Great Lord of Shadows, we are full of respect and faith for you. Please help us hunt down the monsters of the sea, or our race will be wiped out! β
β¦β¦
As the words of the Lord of Shadows fell, an ancient well appeared out of thin air, emitting a faint cold light. This cold light is deep and pure, as if it can wash away all impurities. Feiying slowly approached the ancient well, his body as if wrapped in a layer of mysterious power under the cold light.
"Yes!" The High Priest replied respectfully. She was dressed in purple robes, followed by a group of demon elites and demon cultivators. They sprang into action, placing a number of prohibitions around the Boundary-Breaking Teleportation Array.
"No!" The Lord of Shadows exclaimed, and he felt the last bond with the Flying Shadow quickly disappear.
The shadows around them gradually became clear under the cold light, and they seemed to be given life, revolving around the flying shadows. These shadows are a symbol of the power of the Flying Shadow, and they are also his reliance in the Shadow Demon Realm.
The Lord of Shadows nodded slightly, and there was a hint of approval in his voice, "Very well, Flying Shadow, I am pleased with your progress. However, the Terrans have always been our worst enemy. Now, I'll give you a second missionβto kill a traitor. β
Flying Shadow sneered, and with a wave of his hand, countless shadows appeared, killing these natives one by one. Their bodies gradually dissipated in the shadows, turning into black smoke and dissipating into the air.
As he spoke, Zhao Ran Bing handed a piece of crystal clear jade to Li Shuidao. Li Shuidao took Baoyu and put it in his sleeve casually.
β¦β¦
After January, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed color, and thunder rolled in the sky.
The other natives also fell to their knees, their hands folded, and the words in their mouths. In the ancient language of the Demon Realm, they reverently called for the coming of the God of Shadows.
When the Lord of Shadows heard this, he was speechless. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "If you already know, why bother? β
The Lord of Shadows froze in place, his heart filled with shock and bewilderment. He asked himself to control the Ten Thousand Worlds, but he didn't expect that he couldn't control his own people.
The aura was cold and dark, as if it came from the Nine Shadows Mansion, which was terrifying.
As time passed, Flying Shadow's aura grew stronger and stronger, and his figure grew taller and taller in the cold light. Finally, when the last rays of cold light dissipated, Flying Shadow slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone with a deeper light than before.
"Thank you, Great Lord of Shadows!" Flying Shadow bowed respectfully before the Lord of Shadows, his voice filled with respect and gratitude.
Now that he has returned to the fairy realm, there is no need to be at the mercy of others, and he must control his own destiny at all times, instead of becoming a pawn on the chessboard of the strong.
What Lord of Shadows, Heavenly Immortal Alliance, let's play with eggs.
