Chapter 218: Lin Bai’s Plan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It was actually filled with the stars of the universe. It was like a miniature universe. It was as if all the stars were inside and contained an indescribable charm. In an instant, Lin Bai could vaguely see the Milky Way falling into the nine heavens.

The stars flickered, gathering the purest power in the world. Countless scriptures and symbols flickered within, containing the supreme great dao, interweaving into a majestic array formation. Such an array formation could be considered divine. It absorbed the power of the Sun and moon as well as the earth.

This evil thing had already surpassed the six daos. Only by borrowing the righteous energy of the world could it be suppressed. The stars in the sky threw themselves at the monstrous black flame. It was said that evil could not suppress good. However, even this righteous energy could only barely cover up the black fog a little.

In an instant, glorious light appeared. Such a magnificent scene could not be described with any words. Even though thousands of years had passed and these stars had become dim and dull causing them to lose their original colors, one could still vaguely see how awe-inspiring they were back then.

Lin Bai was slightly absent-minded. A cold gas rushed towards him and pulled him back to reality,

Countless black gases surged out and surrounded these stars. The existences that had once been suppressed were restless. Now, the stars were dim and without light. Meanwhile, the demonic qi was monstrous forming a stark contrast.

These demonic qi seemed to be showing off that they were about to see the light of day again. However, after thousands of years, the energy in these stars had long been depleted, and they looked more and more like pieces of useless rock.

“I suspect that these stars are very likely an extremely important part of the array formation. Perhaps they have a restraining effect on it.” Lin Bai’s eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered a new continent.

He was quite knowledgeable about arrays. Although he did not know what kind of array formation this was, the aura he sensed from it was definitely set up by an ancient powerful being.

He Qingyuan followed his gaze and looked over. He shook his head. “So what if I know? These things are completely useless now.”

“Get out of my body!”

The City Lord, who had been laying on the altar without feeling anything, suddenly stood up and shouted at Ren Zeyuan. His actions had undoubtedly angered Ren Zeyuan.

“It is an honor for my lord to descend into the body of an ant like you. Yet, you still dare to speak so arrogantly.”

He quickly chanted an incantation and black scriptures appeared beside the City Lord. They were filled with coldness and omens. These scriptures were like little black bugs that completely burrowed into the City Lord’s body. They quickly merged into his meridians, blood, and flesh.

If someone could look inside at this moment, they would definitely find that the state of the City Lord’s body was extremely strange.

The originally bright red blood gradually became dark and solidified, as if it had dried up for a long time. It was also as if some creature was crazily sucking on it. As a result, the dark substance slowly settled down, revealing impurities that were like old dirt. It was like a little bug that was slowly swimming in the blood.

His meridians also became extremely cold. His green veins were instantly corroded by the black color, as if they had been completely changed. His entire body, from the inside out, emitted a cold and evil aura.

The City Lord was like a container. His body had been modified to make it more convenient for the demonic creature to descend.

“Ah!”

However, this kind of action was no different from a death sentence for cultivators. Their bodies were filled with spiritual energy, while the demonic creatures were produced by resentful qi and all kinds of evil qi. They were completely different from spiritual energy. Just like light and darkness, they were always opposites.

The City Lord let out an earth-shattering scream, which made people’s hair stand on end. At the same time, his dark pupils were once again replaced by scarlet colour. There were no human emotions in his eyes. There was only the look of a monster that was cruel and bloodthirsty.

Looking at these eyes, Lin Bai felt that they were somewhat familiar. Suddenly, he remembered the scene of him being attacked by monsters when he was exploring the underground at night. He thought that it should be the City Lord who had lost his mind. However, this time, his eyes were even redder and more ferocious and evil.

It was as if there were countless evil spirits hidden in these blood-red eyes, eager to crawl to the human world from the darkest part of the abyss. They desperately needed the blood of humans to appease the anger and murderous intent in their hearts.

Such eyes were something that could cause nightmares with just a glance. However, Ren Zeyuan had a look of admiration on his face. He frowned. “This is not enough.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his five fingers turned into claws, and the man on the ground suddenly soared into the air. The black smoke was like a wolf that had smelled the fishy smell and instantly pounced on him.

The man realized what he was going to do, and his face revealed a terrified expression. “No, don’t –”

However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the fate of slowly approaching the City Lord. His blood-red eyes stared at him as if he was looking at a dead person. The look of a ferocious beast looking at its prey made people shudder.

In the ancient times, cultivators were the best food for the demons. Even though the cultivation of the person in front of him was not high, it was barely enough for the current City Lord.

Lin Bai’s hand moved slightly, but he held it back. Now was not the best time to strike. If he could not hit the target in one strike, it would be very easy to alert the enemy.

The City Lord stretched out his hand and opened his bloody mouth. However, in a moment, his expression returned to the pained expression from before. Even his eyes flashed with hesitation and self-blame.

“No, I can’t do this!”

Ren Zeyuan looked at him with disdain. “It seems that the dirty blood in your body hasn’t been completely drained. If I didn’t have to rely on your body, I would have turned you into ashes long ago.”

“Even if I die, I won’t let you have your way!”

The City Lord roared. The two forces in his mind were madly fighting each other. He tried to reverse his meridians to self-destruct and die.

The City Lord’s ancestor was a powerful being who sealed the monsters. Therefore, his latter generations guarded the seal. The City Lord’s bloodline was extremely thin now but he could still resonate with the array. It was useful to the array.

However, Ren Zeyuan was unmoved.. He looked at him as if he was looking at a clown.
