Chapter 204: Chapter 204 The Moment of True Descent (Part 2)

"There, whenever I step through the gate, entering the abode of the moon, my shell stays outside—"

Raising his scepter high, the Great Sacrificial Priest’s face suddenly showed a frenzy, and his hoarse voice suddenly took on a strange trembling frequency.

Strange phosphorescence bloomed like flowers, with the pitch-black altar where the Great Sacrificial Priest stood as the pistil, and three smaller altars holding offerings as petals, illuminating the entire cave following the patterns and grooves engraved on the cave floor.

On the ancient rock cave walls, the void grooves gradually filled with light, forming a huge Ritual Array spanning nearly a kilometer in diameter!

And if a Mage were here, he would clearly see that this is only the core portion of some vast Secret Ceremony Array!

"l’a~y’a~"

Inside the cave, the ragged-robed Alien God believers suddenly began to chant in unison, monotone but resoundingly loud.

Globs of phosphorescent light rose from the glowing grooves on the ground, weaving between the tattered robes of the believers, like dismal green fireflies crawling out of corpses.

The steaming phosphorescence cast dancing dark shadows among the silhouettes, making the entire ritual scene terrifying and sinister.

As the ritual progressed, a certain strength was bestowed upon the offerings on the three smaller altars.

This caused the peaceful expressions on their sleeping faces to twist in agony. Simultaneously, the essence of Eighth Rank strength also started overflowing continuously, adding a glint of radiance to the altar’s light.

"In that distant place where the sun has been forgotten, the hidden Pilgrim shines brighter than before—"

The green phosphorescence in the cave began to intensify and extended along the grooves connecting to the cave walls toward extremely distant places.

On the ancient Relief Cliffs of the island, the giant stone sculpture’s eyes suddenly lit up; in the depths of the shattered ruins on the wasteland, inscriptions emerged on the surface of the collapsed altar; in the jungle-covered temple’s lower floor, a Nameless deity statue was enveloped in dim light...

Various branches of the Secret Ceremony Array, which had always maintained a hidden silence scattered across the island, were now fully activated, immersed in the ghastly green sinister light.

"As my soul candles, as my body cocoons and eggshells."

With ever heightening chants, the diamond Black Stone embedded at the top of the scepter raised high by the Great Sacrificial Priest suddenly lit up with a bizarre and mesmerizing purple light.

Although its color was similar to the Moonlight of the Purple Moon, its brightness was not soft but extremely dazzling, like a bright torch of moonlight.

"Butterflies emerge from cocoons, larvae hatch from eggs, flames light the candles—"

"l’a~y’a~ l’a~y’a~"

Under the purple light reflected by the Great Sacrificial Priest’s scepter, the chanting of the dense crowd of Alien God believers in the cave grew more urgent.

And on them, those gradually self-moving tattered dark green robes, now like the cave walls, suddenly began to emit a dim phosphorescence.

But if one looked closely, it would be apparent that this light actually emanated from deep within their bodies—

"When the true reality returns to this world, the Primitive Moon shall carry us home!"

At the end of the ritual chant, the Great Sacrificial Priest raised his hands high.

Then, with a motion as the heaviness of pulling an entire world, he abruptly drove the Moon-like scepter down onto the surface of the altar!

"Inversion of inside and outside, interchange of surface and depth, ancient and common principles—"

At the moment when the bottom end of the scepter touched the altar, the entire island’s space suddenly quieted for a moment!

The continuous thunder disappeared, resembling a wall of mist, the torrential rain paused mid-air, and the glistening raindrops along with the flashes of lightning stopped, suspended in the pitch-black night sky.

The next instant, the gray-white layer of fog that had shrouded the island for millions of years since Ancient Times.

Suddenly dispersed—

In the ancient mountains of the island, the strangely shaped Mutated Magical Beasts looked towards the sky in panic. On their bodies, a dismal green phosphorescence began to emerge at the same moment.

Reflected in their numerous abnormal eyes was a huge and perfect, sinister purple full moon without a single shadow!

At the same time, an incredibly dense, enchanting purple moonlight instantly enveloped the entire island—

.....

At this moment, Anvis and two others had arrived at the island’s dock.

Feeling unusual signs, including Evan, all three’s Spiritual Sense had begun to intensely warn them.

The instant the downpour stopped, there was an ethereal booming sound, like thunder continuously roaring in their hearts.

The next moment, as the dense fog dissipated, numerous pitch-black stars and that incredibly huge purple full moon suddenly appeared before Anvis’s eyes.

"What... is that?!"

At the sight of the purple full moon, Anvis and Jom immediately lowered their heads, while only Evan opened his mouth wide, somewhat dumbfounded, gazing at the moon in the sky.

Previously, having investigated the history of Lavales, Evan had learned that the island’s fog was almost as ancient as the island itself.

Therefore, seeing the sky’s fog dissipate especially terrified him.

Unbeknownst to him, his body suddenly emitted a faint dismal green phosphorescence.

Seeing things were going badly, Jom immediately intervened, sealing off the five senses of Evan, who still dumbly gazed at the moon.

Simultaneously, Anvis moved closer, using the power of the Ancient Secret Scripture to remove the strange phosphorescent state from Evan’s body.

Previously, when that sinister purple moon suddenly appeared in the sky, the Ancient Secret Scripture hanging from his waist once again emitted a faint light, spontaneously absorbing the eroding power surrounding Anvis.

"What just happened to me...?"

As the phosphorescence on his body extinguished, Evan’s mental state suddenly became very exhausted, as if he had just run a marathon.

Giving Anvis a listless look, Evan shook his head feeling somewhat dizzy.

"Elder brother Evan, please do not look directly at it!"

As he regained consciousness, Anvis reminded.

"Moreover, with this Level of change... it’s best we leave the island immediately!"

Seeing the dramatic change in the island’s sky, and the eerie erosion accompanying the purple moonlight. The three of them immediately left the island, entering the sea to temporarily avoid this mutation.

After distancing themselves from the island, the corrosive moonlight indeed lessened, but the endless deadly fog from the depths of the Mist Sea began gradually wrapping around them.

This fog contained bizarre Chaotic Magic, enough to confuse the senses of Professionals, such that even Eighth Rank Jom could not observe the distance through his spiritual power in this fog.

But most importantly, within the depths shrouded by the fog, roamed those unfathomably powerful Deep Sea Monsters.

Therefore, even with Jom present, Anvis did not dare to rashly enter the fog-covered area.

"Lord Jom, can you find a way to locate that Black Ship?"

Standing at the boundary between the distant sea fog and the island’s space, Anvis’s gaze turned towards Jom.
