Chapter 571: 565
Since ancient times, entities worthy of being called “gods” have always been exceedingly tricky to deal with—almost invincible high-dimensional beings with vast, incomparable wills, capable of eroding and assimilating even the consciousness of Ghost Immortals.
Void Willard wanted to fuse with the Unborn Void God, to assimilate the Demon God’s insane and unknowable will. How was this any different from seeking death?
“Madman!”
Lornaa Lindwood’s gaze was ice-cold as she watched the blood-colored column of light that pierced the sky and earth in the distance.
The ground began to tremble slightly, and then the tremors grew increasingly intense, as if the demonic light, condensed from fresh blood, spread across the sky, casting an extremely ferocious and bloody aura over the pitch-black heavens.
The sudden change in the Empty Zone caused a momentary daze in the psyche of everyone present, giving them the sensation that the space around them was constantly distorting. Even David Jones, who had taken Theodore and Rossetti and fled to the top of the Blood Rainbow Mountain Range, couldn’t help but turn pale.
For in that towering column of blood, he sensed a terrifying fluctuation that was simply indescribable, a fluctuation that even far surpassed the Mother Scarlet he had encountered in the First Emperor Relic.
“Could it be that the Unborn Void God is an even more terrifying existence than Mother Scarlet!”
David Jones’s heart jolted. He knew the transcendent being now descending was only an avatar of the Unborn Void God, not the Vacant God itself. Yet the pervasive, tangible domination in the atmosphere already made him feel dread and horror.
“Damn it!!! Why do I always run into these abnormally monstrous creatures!”
David Jones muttered to himself, overcome with a sense of despair as if a max-level boss had blocked the exit of the newbie village and was wreaking havoc.
Fortunately, this max-level boss was not after him but someone else; otherwise, David Jones would genuinely feel utterly trapped with no escape to heaven and no door to enter the earth.
“I hope Lornaa can hold on a little longer, at least until I find the Holy Stone!”
David Jones looked back at the glowing column behind him, quickened his pace, but failed to notice the fleeting strange red glint in Rossetti’s deep blue eyes.
“Boom!”
The distorted space, continuously nourished by the blood column, finally cracked wide open, and a vast fissure suddenly appeared in the sky, seemingly connecting to a higher-dimensional space.
Moments later, every person within the Empty Zone heard a low chant of madness that heralded death.
Hearing this chant, all Earth Demon Guards couldn’t help but look up at the fissure in the sky, their faces bizarrely smiling.
Immediately afterward, they saw the pitch-black Empty Zone turn from black to white, becoming a sanctified palace of white bone.
In the next instant, an utterly insane will rapidly spread within their bodies. It was the price mere mortals had to pay for daring to glimpse at the Gods, let alone the Unborn Void God being a Demon God that plunged humanity into fear and despair.
In an instant, the eyes of all Earth Demon Guards turned completely blood-red, as a frenzied urge to kill swirled within their hearts.
“Quick, close your eyes, cut off the Psychic Perception!” Lynn Lindwood commanded, summoning ghost force and shouting loudly.
However, at this point, the Earth Demon Guards undergoing transformation couldn’t see the image of their general anymore; their minds were filled with the existence of the Unborn Void God. They even began to gouge out their own eyes and slice off their flesh in a bid to get closer to the God Spirit.
“Damn it!” Lynn Lindwood wanted to stop his soldiers from committing suicide but the terrifying domination pervading the air made it impossible for him to even move.
“Puff, puff, puff!” Dozens of pale bone spikes protruded from the bodies of the Earth Demon Guards.
Merely a harbinger of the Unborn Void God’s arrival had caused these Earth Demon Guards, powerful enough to be rulers of a city in barren regions, to transform into even stronger skeletal warriors.
“Your Highness, get out of here. I’ll buy you time!” Lynn Lindwood held his halberd in front of Lornaa, protecting her.
Seeing this, Lornaa Lindwood paused slightly, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she reached out to touch his sharply contoured cheeks.
“Lynn Lindwood, I know you like me, but can you die for me?”
Upon hearing this, Lynn Lindwood’s expression didn’t change, “Of course.”
Whether it was because of duty, personal feelings, or the family behind him, he couldn’t allow Lornaa Lindwood to die here.
Lornaa Lindwood gazed deeply into Lynn Lindwood’s eyes, as if to memorize him, then her fingers pierced through the armor and resolutely ripped out his heart.
“Thinking of escaping? Now, witness the might of the Unborn Void God!”
As Void Willard’s chilling voice fell, the sky suddenly manifested countless bones forming a gigantic bone flower, which then bloomed to reveal a supremely beautiful Goddess draped in white, appearing silently.
No, upon closer inspection, the white gown of the Unborn Void God was actually a layer of softly glowing mist, a materialization of Her Psychic Power.
Her impeccable feet crossed and sat in meditation, revealing the Sun-Moon Wheel Flower beneath her, a horrifying figure resembling a lizard-like monster.
She merely lifted her head to glance at Void Willard, and the very same Willard who just boasted loudly suddenly had his flesh splattered everywhere, exposing his gruesome skeleton.
“Yes, this is the power of a God! Even the Ghost King Elites are nothing but ants before the Unborn Void God!”
Void Willard laughed aloud, completely indifferent to the demonic bones forming slowly in his own mouth.
Although the Avatar of the Unborn Void God was summoned through the blood sacrifice of three heads of near Class VIII Mysterious Beasts, in actuality, he couldn’t control the actions of the Vacant God himself.
Once the Vacant God descended, everyone within the Empty Three Realms would have to die, completely becoming nourishment for the growth of the Vacant God, including Void Willard himself.
“Madman!” Lornaa Lindwood dared not delay any further, using Lynn Lindwood’s heart to fully unleash the power of the royal puppet.
In an instant, the royal puppet exploded with power comparable to a Ghost King Elite in its medium phase, its body transforming into a golden bolt of lightning and creating a massive wound in the chest of the Vacant God.
“Well done!” praised Void Willard.
At the same time, the attacked Unborn Void God opened Her eyes for the first time, revealing an unreachable darkness akin to the void.
Then She raised Her pristine bone hand and gently squeezed, the Golden Body of the royal puppet began to tremble lightly, as if it could collapse at any moment.
“No, something’s not right, this isn’t just the Avatar of the Unborn Void God, but Her Spirit Body!” exclaimed Lornaa Lindwood in horror.
“You’ve seen through it! Indeed, to break a part of the Dragon God’s seal and summon the God Spirit Body, I sacrificed the entire Blood Sanctum Clan!” declared Void Willard, proudly.
“How is that possible!” Lornaa Lindwood found it hard to believe.
Even though the Blood Sanctum Clan was a mid-level to weaker clan among the Thirteen Sacred Clans, they still possessed three Ghost King Elites.
The clan’s patriarch, Blood Soul, was an extremely powerful existence at the apex of Ghost Kings, while even Void Willard, the Master of the Blood Temple, was just a dog secretly raised by the Blood Sanctum Clan.
“How laughable, the leash wasn’t held tight enough, and the vicious dog turned on its master?” Looking at the laughing Void Willard, Lornaa Lindwood’s heart sank, and she turned her head to look in the direction David Jones had escaped.
“Brother Wang, I did my best! I hope you survive!”
