Chapter 191: Chapter 51: The Necrocontroller Demon Appears (5/3)

The dark chamber was not dim; on the contrary, it was filled with deep purple fluoresce, and the source of this glow was a huge, elliptical egg at the site where the divine statue used to be, throbbing like a heart.

The purple and red overlapping egg was protected by pairs of gray arms, young and old, male and female, belonging to the sacrificed beings. Hand linked to heart, their souls had been devoured, becoming part of the egg.

At the first opportunity, Lu Jin’s body threw itself into the egg, where thousands of hands ’gently’ embraced him, then... slowly began to absorb him.

Terrifying demonic Qi steamed upward, even forming a curtain of deep purple, enshrouding the egg within it.

"Boom!"

An Jing, who had just entered the dark chamber, immediately fired a Chongming Sword Box, but the egg reacted swiftly, gray arms acting as a shield against the flying sword. Even though it suffered some damage, it was clear that this sort of attack was not enough to kill it.

"Heaven’s Will brat, once I recover, I will flay you alive and offer your bones to the honored god!"

Lu Jin, currently being absorbed by the egg, seemed completely unaware of his plight. He appeared to be trapped in an illusionary realm, thinking he was recovering, oblivious to the fact that he was being slowly consumed.

Even his Heavenly Mandate Halo, burning brightly behind his head, was enhancing the egg that was absorbing him with the brownish-red "Beast-Taming Fate," causing it to grow rapidly and begin to transform.

"The Heavenly Demon can actually devour Fate Patterns?! That’s impossible!"

"Indeed, the Heavenly Demons of the Embracing the Void realm are different!" Seeing this scene, Subdue Evil couldn’t help but exclaim, but An Jing’s brow furrowed as he thought of something.

—The Embracing the Void realm was clearly filled with Demonic Qi, yet it was naturally stable, with normal production, and even the common people showed few signs of demonic influence.

—Yet, the Heavenly Demons couldn’t stay long in this Qi-rich world and had to return to the Netherworld. They were not only unaccepted by the Demonic Qi but were repelled by it.

As incredible as it seemed, if even the Heavenly Demons could be repelled by Demonic Qi, then conversely, it wasn’t so strange that the Heavenly Demons could be accepted by, or even devour, Fate Patterns!

This would be impossible anywhere else, but in the Embracing the Void, it could be possible.

The contradiction of upholding the Dao... Maybe it’s even more complex or perhaps simpler? But it doesn’t matter, all thoughts were fleeting; An Jing took a deep breath and began to channel the Taibai Fiend Qi within his body, pouring it into the Chongming Sword Box.

After fighting his way here, An Jing had already used twelve strands of Taibai Fiend Qi, which was a third of his Spirit Qi, to push Lu Jin into a corner.

This time, An Jing used six strands of Spirit Qi in one go, pushing the Chongming Sword Box to its limit.

At the core of the Sword Box, the white core crystal turned into roaring thunders at full charge and Taibai Gold melted into it, transforming into streaks of white-gold lightning.

It fired.

Thus, a beam of white-gold Sword Light shot into the swirling demonic fog, and thousands of gray arms forming a shield broke at the sound.

The egg cracked. An outpour of demonic Qi, dense enough to seem like a liquid, gushed from the wound, revealing the demonic shadow with a human silhouette inside.

Intended to devour the Blood Qi of the entire city before transforming, it opened its eyes, born unwillingly and with great reluctance.

In that instant, a sorrowful wailing filled with the cries of children rose up, a powerful Demon Sound that made every living being within miles fall unconscious instantly, echoing throughout the entire city.

Whether it was Da Chen’s Official Army battling with warriors of the True Demon Sect at the Earth Pulse Node, or You Ruhui and Granny Huai who had evacuated the teahouse and were slowly leaving the city, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, regardless of whether they harbored ulterior motives or different agendas.

Chongyi Building collapsed.

Surging heavenward like billowing clouds of fire, Demonic Qi burst through the sky, and amidst this towering Demonic Qi, the once-sturdy Chongyi Building slowly crumbled, melting away like a sandcastle in the midst of the sea.

A white silhouette escaped from the collapsing Chongyi Building, tumbling through mid-air before landing on one knee in the snow.

He stood up, his gaze solemn as he looked towards Chongyi Building.

"It seems I may have indeed stopped a most formidable plan!"

Everything had happened so quickly; Lu Jin was slain by him, but his entire being had been refined by the Heavenly Demon, transformed into a vessel for absorbing Demonic Qi and devouring the Fate Pattern.

His Fate Pattern, the ’Beast-Taming Life,’ could astonishingly consider the Heavenly Demon’s embryo as a ’beast’ and thereby control and strengthen it.

An Jing could see that the Demon Embryo inside Chongyi Building was clearly not supposed to be born yet. According to the True Demon Sect plan that he had heard, this embryo was meant to absorb the Blood Qi from the deaths of all of Ming City’s residents, and then devour the power of the Earth Vein to be born.

Once born, the Demon Embryo might have been comparable to the Purple Mansion, or at the very least, at the peak of the Martial Meridian.

But now, with An Jing having prematurely punctured the egg and caused the Demon Embryo to be born, what level of strength could it possess?

At most, it would not reach the Martial Meridian, and it might not even be much stronger than Lu Jin—the earth-shattering demonic phenomena did not prove the opponent’s might; it was merely the outer manifestation of the accumulated Demonic Qi being blasted away by An Jing, forcing it to spill out!

Boom! In the next instant, as if a dark flame in the shape of a flower burst open amidst the Demonic Qi, visible shockwaves swept across the atmosphere, carrying waves of searing heat mixed with agitation. Accompanying this roar, the pillar of Demonic Qi where Chongyi Building once stood disintegrated, revealing the form of the Demon hidden behind the fog.

An Jing’s brows furrowed deeply.

The world, originally obscured by heavy snow and frosty winds, was suddenly lit by a dark purple light, as an oppressive being fully descended upon this place.

The dark purple Law Domain expanded, enveloping the nearby blocks.

At the center of the Law Domain, a slender figure, exuding a demonic charm, floated in mid-air amidst the flickering and extinguishing flame of Dead Taming Life, walking upon the flame.

She appeared to be a human female, with a beautiful visage and skin like white jade, virtually unclothed, with reflective black and silver serpent scales covering all vital areas. A pair of wings as black as crows fluttered slowly, twisting together with her flowing ebony hair like a waterfall, resembling a night raven that brought death and peered into the hearts of people.

"The Heavenly Demon sealed in Hanging Fate Valley?!"

But An Jing was not in the least distracted by her human form; he solemnly sensed the familiar Demonic Qi sensation, "Right—at least it’s a Divided Demon! Just like the Evil Born Demon and that Great Heavenly Demon who released the seal!"

"It’s Jiexin’s Divided Demon!"

The Subdue Evil Sword Spirit also chanted lowly with anger; it had forgotten most of its memories but still remembered the name of the enemy, still remembered the name of the one who had once defeated it, "So it’s you, intending to devour an entire city and the Earth Vein to quickly restore your power!"

The Demon Embryo gave no response, its blood-red eyes devoid of any emotion. It floated in midair, surrounded by a succession of deceased souls, each one linked to deep purple Ghost Flames, making them seem as one entity.

Behind its head, a deep purple halo spun and glittered.
