C1641 Last Prologue
C1641 Last Prologue
Nearly half a month had passed, and with the interference of the Reverse Revolving Wheel, the operation of the great formation had almost been reduced by one fold.
The golden radiance was no longer as dazzling as before. From the moment the faint dark aura seeped out to now, a large amount of dense dark Yin energy had already gathered at the area of the large eye.
Right now, the nine Sovereigns were gathered there, quietly staring at the formation, waiting for something.
"I'm still a bit short, but the seal is about to collapse." He was filled with confidence.
"You seem very proud of yourself? Don't you think it still took too long? " Ah Ruisi said impatiently.
Huai Stos frowned as he glanced at War God, "A boorish fellow like you who only knows how to fight and kill, it's useless to explain it to you. You have no way of understanding just how powerful the Divine Demon Array is."
Ah Ruisi glared at them and was about to get angry, but was stopped by a cold glare from Athena, who stood beside him.
Athena glanced at the Fire God and War God, signalling them not to cause trouble. She then extended her jade arm and grabbed at the empty air.
Black shadows flashed in the air. Athena seemed to have caught the black robe that was struggling in mid-air, as if it had been grabbed by an invisible thug.
"Milord, have mercy, have mercy, I didn't hide it on purpose …"
After all, the other Sovereigns on the side weren't as sensitive as Athena. Seeing Athena capture such a fellow, they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Athena coldly snorted, "You're sneaking around, hiding in the distance and thinking that I don't know where you are?"
Black Robe carefully wailed, "I did not mean to offend you all, but I did not dare to disturb you all. That's why I stayed far away and watched quietly, not daring to come any closer."
Aphroditi asked curiously, "Athena, what is this thing? It doesn't seem to be human."
"It?"
Athena released her black robe and said flatly, "You can reveal your real body now. There's no need to hide anymore."
When Black Robe heard this, he did not dare to be negligent. A group of dark flames ignited like a ghost, completely incinerating the black robe and mask on his body.
Very quickly, what appeared before the eyes of the gods was a black, eerie, and strange phantom!
The shadow was surrounded by a black mist and its exact appearance could not be seen. It was just that the outline was that of a human, but the location of the head was an illusory skeleton.
This terrifying appearance indeed stunned the gods. The female Sovereigns all frowned in disgust.
"It is the emissary Zeus contacted me these few years. It claims to be a Primordial Demon called 'Shadow Devil'. Although its strength is only equivalent to the Weak Water Stage of a cultivator, it is extremely good at camouflage and concealment." Athena said.
"Is it an ancient demon? How is this possible, it can escape from the formation!? " Hera couldn't quite believe it.
The Shadow Devil let out a few strange giggles, "Hehe, my esteemed lord, actually, I don't have access to the formation, it's just that compared to other demons, I'm a little special …"
Under the Shadow Devil's satisfied introduction, the other gods finally realized that the only reason this Shadow Devil was outside of the formation was because it had two 'bodies'!
When the Shadow Devil was born, a main body and a shadow would appear, and the main body and the shadow would be controlled by the Shadow Devil itself, and their strengths were the same.
Furthermore, as long as the main body did not die, the shadow would have a chance to slowly regain life.
Back then, when the Primordial Immortal had summoned all sorts of demons and devils into his formation, the Shadow Devil knew that it was no match, and so it split off the shadows that it was adept at hiding. After pretending to be dead in battle, it had secretly sought for an opportunity to slowly revive, while its main body had been sealed within the formation.
It was impossible for him to cover all of them. Even if he missed out one or two small fish and shrimp, it would still be impossible for him to search the entire world. Therefore, it was extremely cautious, allowing its shadow to return after a long period of time, moving outside to this day.
Relying on her avatar, the Shadow Devil became the communication channel between Athena and Zeus. Occasionally, it would also help Athena deal with matters that she did not need to deal with personally.
"You really hid it well. So you and Zeus have always been in contact?" Hera sneered, obviously a little sour.
Athena glanced at her, "It's just that we've only been in contact these past two years. Because of the barrier between us and the main body, and because we're worried about encountering a cultivator that can kill it, its shadow has been awakened from its death-like state and it took hundreds of thousands of years. Before that, I'm not sure about Zeus's situation in the main formation."
"So you're saying, Zeus has already subdued all the Primordial Demons in the formation? Doesn't that mean my God Clan suddenly gained a large number of slaves? " Herms smiled evilly.
"Hmph, as far as I know, the Immortals and Demons are just a bunch of evil spirits formed by evil and evil energies. Without a physical body, their cultivation progress is extremely slow, and they don't have much strength at all."
Most likely, this Shadow Devil had Weak Water Stage cultivation, so it was a very rare expert amongst demons. Furthermore, they are all a bunch of dark and ugly fellows. If you want them to be your servants, then use them yourself. " Hera said disdainfully.
The Shadow Devil was listening at the side, trembling in fear. It was a pity that it couldn't display a human-like expression on its face, or else its face would have turned red from embarrassment.
Indeed, among the demons, it could already be considered an expert. Some particularly powerful ancient demons were killed by the immortals hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Although there were many Primordial Demons sealed within the formation right now, there were indeed too few that could make it to the surface. However, no matter how unbearable it was, to be humiliated by God Clan for the sake of getting out, it was still better than being trapped in the formation.
"With Zeus's strength, it is natural for him to subdue all the demons in the formation and become their king. However, what I am worried about is how his body will be able to maintain itself for the past twenty thousand years. Apollo was slightly worried.
Athena's eyes flashed with a strange light. "He has his own methods. You'll know when he comes out …"
At the same time, above the Mediterranean Sea, a cold wind whistled. Gray and hazy black clouds swirled in the air, and it was impossible to get rid of them.
Luo Qianqiu and the rest of the experts returned to the island. The news they brought back was that it was Athena. This undoubtedly gave everyone a shocking shock.
The women finally understood why Lin Ruoxi had left Lanlan on the island and disappeared at such a critical moment.
And the backbone, Yang Chen, never came back after that battle. No one could find where Yang Chen went, which made the women even more worried.
Lanlan disappeared from her parents' side at the same time and cried for a few days. In the end, Tang Wan, Rose and the other women who had some ideas went to China's Hainan Island to invite Yang Gongming, Guo Xuehua, and other people with Yang Family to the island.
Firstly, it was better on the island. Secondly, since Yang Chen wasn't around at this time, the people from Yang Family also had help on the island.
When Guo Xuehua found out that Lin Ruoxi was actually Athena, she was so angry that she couldn't control herself. She felt that her son had been ruthlessly deceived and became worried. She even scolded Lin Ruoxi for being an ingrate and a vixen.
The women became silent. Who could guarantee that what Lin Ruoxi did was not what she was thinking? No one knew.
Most of them felt sorry for Yang Chen, and they had hidden their anger towards Lin Ruoxi.
As far as Guo Xuehua was concerned, any daughter-in-law was secondary. She only cared that her only son had disappeared, and she was still pitifully deeply wounded.
However, as she cursed and cursed, Guo Xuehua couldn't care less anymore. She could only hope that Yang Chen would find some news soon and urge the people on the island to search the entire island.
But regardless of whether they were cultivators or subordinates of Soren and Ron, how could they find out if Yang Chen wanted to hide? However, because Yang Chen's mother had given them the order, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep searching.
Yang Gongming didn't pay much attention to this. It seemed that Yang Chen didn't care and he just thought of ways to make Lanlan happy.
The little fat chick was looking for warmth beside great-grandfather. She looked depressed and didn't even have the interest to eat anymore.
Time passed in such a difficult manner for everyone.
Two days later, another drastic change happened!
A large number of gray shadows suddenly flitted across the sky like wailing ghosts and howling wolves. They were like countless dark meteors streaking across the horizon, flying in countless directions!
When Luo Qianqiu, Liu Shiyuan and the other cultivators saw this scene, they all revealed grave expressions. They realized that the situation had reached an even worse stage.
Demons had wreaked havoc in the human world. The great array had finally been broken!
