Uncertain of what tricks the Demon Lord would play, Ling Zhu quickly infiltrated. A dark passage led to a circular altar at the deepest point, which was surrounded by a massive barrier.
The Wolf King was guarding the cave. Ling Zhu held her breath as she watched the Wolf King approach the altar, cut his palm, and let his blood drip into a circular Bronze Square Cup. The four corners of the cup were carved with four black dragons. As soon as the blood touched them, the dragons opened their eyes and began to move around the bronze cup.
"Haha!" The Wolf King smiled, lowering his hands. "Everything is ready; we just need the right moment. Next, we only wait for tomorrow night’s Hexagram to be completed, and my demon realm will wash away the human world in blood."
Ling Zhu gasped and quickly turned to leave the cave. She did not find Li Yunyang and the others' souls inside, only this strange altar. What exactly was this altar?
Forget it; since she had already chased them to Sky Beyond Mountain, she would first look for Shirley and then figure out a plan. With that thought, she headed toward the Demon Prison Tower.
Xiang Xueer had been staring at the Azure Wind Sword for quite some time, mumbling like she was chanting a spell. Lian Cheng Xue looked at her expression and quickly asked, "Shirley, what are you doing?"
"Ah!" Xiang Xueer’s eyes were nearly popping out as she sighed. "I wanted to see if I could communicate with the Five Divine Artifacts, but after talking for so long, they all seem dead silent—not a word from any of them!"
"Really?" Lian Cheng Xue said with an uneasy grin. "Ever since they were taken by Ling Zhu, even Fat Ancestor hasn’t shown up? Could it be because of the Demon Prison Tower?"
You ask me; I ask who? Xiang Xueer sat cross-legged on the ground, tapping her cheeks repeatedly. "Could it be that the Demon Lord did something?"
"The Demon Lord injured the Ancestor of the Demon Refining Pot; since then, they have not resonated at all!" Ling Zhu suddenly appeared behind them. Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue turned around in shock. "Hey? Ling Zhu, didn’t you go after the Demon Lord? How come you’re here?"
Ling Zhu hurriedly remembered her main concern and grabbed both of them. "No time for chatter! I followed the Demon Lord to the mountain across from us and found that Wolf King had set up an altar in a cave with a barrier around it. I don’t know what’s going on and didn’t dare act recklessly, so I rushed over to inform you!"
"An altar?" The two exchanged glances and immediately became alert as they headed toward the cave across from them. Xiang Xueer focused her gaze and realized this was indeed the cave that Gu Liu Ma had entered before.
Three people cautiously walked into the cave. The Wolf King was long gone, leaving only an empty altar within the barrier, on top of which lay the Bronze Quilt, with four fierce black dragons constantly roaming around it.
Although she couldn't fully understand what the altar was for, she knew one thing in her heart: this was definitely a conspiracy, and it had to be destroyed immediately.
She tentatively approached the barrier and reached out to touch it. A flash of fire erupted from the barrier, sending Xiang Xueer flying several meters away, landing on the ground.
What immense power! Xiang Xueer quickly got back on her feet. Suddenly, the Azure Wind Sword behind her emitted a buzzing sound, startling her awake. Following that, the Five Divine Artifacts resonated one after another, as if trying to convey something.
What’s going on? Ling Zhu and Lian Cheng Xue furrowed their brows instantly. Could it be because of this altar? What did the artifacts want to express?
"Hmph!" A smile appeared at the corner of Xiang Xueer's mouth as she held the Azure Wind Sword and coldly snorted, "Needless to say, they must want us to quickly destroy this altar."
"Yes, you make a good point!" Lian Cheng Xue quickly agreed and drew her Black Iron Sword. "This altar is definitely part of the Demon Lord's scheme; we can only feel safer by destroying it."
Having come this far, with the Demon Prison Tower already destroyed, they had no choice but to take action. Xiang Xueer horizontally positioned her sword, a surge of true energy began to rise from within her body and flowed along the blade. Today was also a good day to try out new techniques.
"Exorcism Essence: Demon-Breaking Red Lotus Soul Lock Slash!" A ball of red flame enveloped the Azure Wind Sword, and chains rapidly spread out towards the barrier. In no time at all, they wrapped around the barrier tightly.
"Slash!" Xiang Xueer's red pupils flashed as she shouted. With several cracking sounds, the barrier shattered like colorful glass and quickly disappeared.
A victorious smile appeared on her face as she sheathed her sword and stepped directly into the altar. The four black dragons suddenly turned their heads and bared their fangs as if ready to pounce, causing the three to quickly step back.
"Watch me!" Ling Zhu said as she waved her hand. Vines flew out from her sleeve and swiftly wrapped around the heads of the four dragons. Lian Cheng Xue then raised her sword and swiftly severed their heads with two swift strokes.
Xiang Xueer walked up to the altar and looked at the red blood in the Bronze Wine Cup, asking, "What is this cup? It reminds me of the Deathly Hallows from Harry Potter."
"What are you talking about?" The two people turned to look at her in confusion. This woman often said strange things, so they were used to it. "We should hurry and destroy the cup; it will be too late when the Demon Lord returns."
"Okay!" Xiang Xueer raised the Azure Wind Sword, and suddenly it began to tremble continuously, emitting a buzzing sound. She smiled and said, "I got it, I got it, don't worry, I'll chop the cup right away!"
As she spoke, her eyes flashed, and with a snap, the cup split in half and fell to the ground. The blood inside the cup instantly seeped into the ground, flowing in all directions and gradually forming an Octagram on the surface.
After finishing with the altar, the group was about to leave when suddenly the ground began to tremble slightly, startling them into stopping. "What's happening?"
Moments before, the cave had started shaking violently, showing signs of collapse. Could it be because of the altar? They turned back and were stunned by what they saw: the five-shaped formation on the altar's surface was glowing red and began to extend outward. Strange characters seemed to carry a curse as they awakened demons sleeping in various places.
The entire Sky Beyond Mountain echoed with the roars of demons. Previously restless, they now seemed awakened by this altar, rampaging everywhere and attacking anyone unfamiliar. Below Sky Beyond Mountain, a series of anguished screams from civilians erupted.
Xiang Xueer was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Wasn't destroying the altar supposed to solve everything? Why did it seem to have the opposite effect? Panic began to rise within her.
Meanwhile, dark clouds rolled above like a demon's mouth, quickly blocking out the sun's light. The sun lost its glow, plunging the world into darkness. Gradually, six stars in the sky flickered with purple light, slowly aligning into a line.
According to legend, December 21, 2012, was supposed to be doomsday when the world would turn completely dark. However, she hadn't encountered that back then but found herself facing it here. But it wasn't time yet; today was only December 20. Why had it come early?
