Chapter 1191 - 1191 598 Star-horned Deity (4000)

Chapter 1191: 598 Star-horned Deity (4000) Chapter 1191: 598 Star-horned Deity (4000) Southeastern waters, Immortal Island, underground cavern.

Originally, this place was dim, lit only by large patches of mutated moss on the cave walls emitting a faint green light. Now, however, it was brightly lit with wall lamps everywhere, illuminating the surroundings. One could see through the light that there were signs of artificial excavation on the cave walls, and even roads had been built. Some distinctly Federal-style buildings stood erect, with cableways connecting the different areas.

The Puppet School had taken over Immortal Island for some time now, and many elites had come to the underground cavern to prepare. Later, after the resurgence event of Black Rain Villa ended, the world’s major disaster forces suffered heavy losses. Corpses were constantly shipped to Immortal Island, converted into bait.

This bait, being both human flesh and rich in catastrophe energy, was considered top-notch. Few dark creatures in the World of Calamities could resist them. They were continuously attracted over, but just as regularly killed, causing the conduit between the two worlds to gradually expand, aiming for a diameter that could allow the passage of the Holy Fist Realm and the Ultimate Dark Entity. The Puppet School would also regularly send strong individuals through the conduit to clean up the residual corpses on the other side, eliminating their aura. This was to prevent the deaths of a large number of dark creatures from triggering an alert in that area.

Under such consecutive operations day and night, the conduit between the two worlds had already expanded many times more than when it first started, nearly taking over the entire cave wall.

Gusts of yin winds came from the Inner World on the other side, bringing with them an extremely unsettling aura of catastrophe and malevolence. However, all these disastrous forces with negative influences were completely devoured by the towering silhouette at the mouth of the conduit between the two worlds. An invisible vortex of aura engulfed everything around, with dominant thoughts permeating every corner, suppressing all sorts of ominous signs.

Disciples of the Puppet School, who were constantly transporting various materials back and forth, felt assured just by seeing that silhouette’s back, never panicking. Even the black tunnel, which breathed in and out like the gaping maw of the abyss, covered nearly half the underground cavern with an extremely terrifying oppressive force.

As long as the Sect Master of the Puppet School was there, even if the sky fell, he would hold it up with one hand!

Huff… Hiss… Huff… Hiss…

The sound of air exchange between the two worlds dominated the melody of the entire underground cavern. Other than that, the sparse sounds could almost be considered inaudible. Suddenly, there was the noise of a rushing silhouette.

At the massive gateway, shaped like a black gemstone, a human silhouette burst through the light membrane like a water bird, moving so fast that it left a trailing afterimage.

The light flared up, revealing the figure of the Demon Hound Simonyi. At this moment, his clothes billowed as strong black airflow gushed from his pores, as if a whirlwind enveloped him.

Simonyi’s eyes were also pitch-black, his aura far stronger than in his usual state. It was clear he had activated the Demon Seed and was using Casio’s power.

He was originally presiding over the Federation’s combat competition in East Sea City. But after the competition got on track, in reality, it only required following the established procedures. Thus, Simonyi delegated this task to another commander of the Puppet School and, in turn, came to follow Casio on Immortal Island. The other commanders were very willing to do so because this was effectively a free credit to their name.

But, in Simonyi’s eyes, there were other considerations and plans.

Ever since he joined the Puppet School, he had always held on to one belief.

What the Sect Master saw as important was worth investing a great deal of effort in. Whatever the Sect Master did not pay attention to, no matter how deafening its momentum or vast its scale, likely would not be considered a significant achievement even if completed.

And from the recent developments, the conduit on Immortal Island seemed particularly important to the Sect Master Casio. In contrast, with the combat competition, he merely displayed his strength on the first day to intimidate the whole Secret Martial Arts World, and then he left East Sea City for Immortal Island to take charge.

Therefore, Simonyi chose to also come to Immortal Island to await orders.

And indeed, he was given a vital task.

The environment on the side of the World of Calamities was extremely dangerous, with dark creatures lurking everywhere, dominating the earth. And the Puppet School, or rather the Sect Master, needed scouts to constantly gather intelligence from the other side. Assessing the overall situation around the conduit to determine the amount and timing of bait deployment. Even the observation on whether any Dark Ultimate Entity had been attracted was necessary to strategically lay traps, step by step.

During this period, it was impossible for Sect Master Casio to cross over, as the presence of the Holy Fist Realm was too vast to pass through the conduit. Therefore, someone else had to be chosen, ideally a fighter with combat cultivation, an agile mind to handle emergencies, and abundant courage to venture into danger.

The Demon Hound Simonyi played such a role.

He frequently moved in and out of the conduit, bringing back a lot of vital intelligence.

One could say that he had provided significant help to Casio’s overall plan.

And this time, Simonyi brought back an extremely crucial piece of intelligence!

“Sect Master, about one hundred fifty kilometers due north of the conduit’s entrance, I discovered traces of the Ultimate Dark Entity…”

He approached quickly and stopped beside Casio, reporting the situation with respect. Simonyi’s body, carrying a hint of Casio’s Tyrant Fist aura, could sense the aura of the surrounding Dark Ultimate Entities, triggering a special alert.

“Has the prey… finally arrived?”

The towering figure, who had been sitting cross-legged like a sculpture, suddenly opened his eyes, with deep blue pupils like the abyssal sea. He stopped cultivating and slowly stood up. His broad shoulders and massive strength seemed to lift the entire space inch by inch. It was as though something in the air had been activated.
