NOVPUBOnly a mysterious space of monochrome hues.
The Holy Kings looked up to the gods above the firmament.
The ancient Divine Mountain stood between the obscure universes, its sacred, silvery moon-like eyes impassively overseeing, faint Divine Sound waves rippled outward.
"How is it?"
In the distance, black fog swirled in the high heavens, where a Primordial Bone Dragon, as rugged as a kilometer-long mountain range, coiled imposingly, its bone-white serpent head beneath the silent, hands-behind-back figure of a woman with white hair, her white dress billowing in the wind.
Under her feet, the cold Divine Fire flickered within the eye sockets of the serpent head’s skull, her majestic voice indifferent, "The Life and Death Sealing is complete."
"Have you discovered any traces of that being within it?" asked the Evil God named Feast Flower Supreme from above the darkened sky.
The eye slits glowing with Divine Fire within the Bone-faced Evil God narrowed slightly, and she said calmly, "Within the Evil Demon Sea, there indeed has been a Near-God Level battle, but it was not with an Evil Demon. It was a battle over the Refining God Tower involving a Star God with shattered divinity, along with Ri Nuo and the Moon Princess. Currently, all three are gravely injured and on the brink of death, having taken refuge inside the Refining God Tower."
"Oh?" From within the shadows, Feast Flower Supreme seemed to chuckle softly, "Three powers of the Human Race contend for the Refining God Tower within the Evil Realm, as if we do not exist."
At the same time, within the vast dark sky, another slit-like window opened, within which billions of scarlet light points rotated, densely packed and interlinked, resembling a Star Sea.
The owner of this divine eye was the Taihua Priest, holding the power called ’Enlightenment,’ with the ability to foresee the future.
With the arrival of the divine eye, a Divine Sound as if from an ancient heavenly mountain echoed deeply and distantly: "The Imaginary River has granted me Enlightenment, the Evil Demon at this moment, has already resurrected within the Refining God Tower!"
Hearing the words of Taihua Priest, the gods were somewhat surprised. The Evil Demon had actually resurrected inside the Refining God Tower, and now that was interesting. Was it by seizing the bodies of those three Human Race powers to resurrect, or was there another?
The General Saint King stood atop a high pillar, and upon hearing this, he glanced subconsciously in the direction of Charming Spirit Queen Irena, feeling increasingly uneasy.
He had originally kept watch outside the Charming Spirit Calamity Realm, waiting for Xia Feng to emerge, but had not expected that Irena would brazenly drop Xia Feng near the Evil Demon Sea.
According to Irena, Xia Feng had entered the Evil Demon Sea over ten hours ago. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
And nearly all creatures within the Evil Demon Sea had been captured into the Candle Fire Rock Land.
Thus, the General Saint King seriously suspected that Xia Feng might also be within the Refining God Tower at this moment.
He had always questioned Xia Feng’s identity, whether he truly was the Evil Demon itself, rather than merely human.
Now, considering all the clues, the General Saint King felt that this enigmatic Human being who had enslaved him, might very well be that great existence.
The General Saint King did not know whether to feel excited or despair.
If Xia Feng truly was the Evil Demon, then he would become the first divine servant under the Evil Demon after its resurrection! This prospect was simply too marvelous!
The Evil Demon Lord was so powerful that he might be able to advance the Saint King’s stagnant strength once more! How could the General Saint King not be thrilled?
But the pitiful truth was... if Xia Feng truly was the Evil Demon, what good would it do? To die just upon resurrection!
The General Saint King’s life was also bound to that of Xia Feng’s. If Xia Feng died, his own death would naturally follow... which filled him with even greater despair.
Now he could do nothing but wait, filled with worry and helplessness, praying for the favor of the universal Laws.
"To resurrect within the Refining God Tower..."
From above the black heavens, a Supreme divine voice murmured.
"The Evil Demon Sea is a realm unto itself, beyond our sight."
"Bone-faced, it seems we need you to descend personally to investigate the situation," said Feast Flower Supreme in a grave voice.
Bai Suxi stood atop the serpent’s head, her bone-white, coldly indifferent, vertical pupils slightly lifting as her equally bone-white lips parted softly, "Let me go."
Bai Suxi and Ze were both Bone-faced Supremes, sharing authority, so only one of them needed to enter the Evil Demon Sea. Should danger arise, they could instantly retreat from the Evil Demon Sea by relying on the spatial coordinates of the other.
"Xixi, if you can’t defeat that majestic being, just retreat immediately," Ze lifted his giant bony serpent’s skull, his heart sounding a deep note.
Though Bai Suxi was human, she was not like those lowly humans; after enduring extreme injustice in the lands of the Human Race, she grew to deeply despise humanity, renounced her human status, and ultimately ascended to the position of an Evil God by forming a pact with the Bone-faced clan.
The affection between her and Ze was very special; it was not love, but it transcended love.
More precisely, their affection was a profound bond, a supportive bond on the path to godhood that they forged together.
Ze had never chosen a Divine Successor from his clan, and Suxi had never sought out a male of her kind for the purpose of reproduction.
One Evil, one Human, they had accompanied each other for many years, and their emotions had long surpassed race and gender, evolving into a pure sentiment that mortals could not comprehend...
Of course, what Ze did not know, or perhaps was unwilling to admit, was that Bai Suxi defined this pure sentiment as a master-servant relationship.
She was the master, and Ze was the servant.
Ever since Bai Suxi renounced her human status and came to the Evil Realm, her goal throughout her ascent to godhood had always been to lead the tribes of the Evil Realm to descend upon the Present Realm and exterminate the Human Race!
Ze was merely the first Divine Level beast she had contracted in order to make her divine descent into the Present Realm!
And now, she, Bai Suxi, aimed to use this opportunity to meet the Evil Demon alone to contract the Evil Demon through a secret ritual! To make the Evil Demon another one of her beasts!
Once the Evil Demon became her beast, the two Great Lords, Calamity and Disaster, were destined to become her divine slaves. And as for the one sole ruler hidden within the Imaginary River, she could surely take them on as well.
However, before she could fulfill these ambitions.
She had to first enter the Refining God Tower to meet the Evil Demon and assess the true state of this great being.
If it were weak, then there was nothing to fear.
If it were as powerful as her, then she would negotiate. With the Life and Death Sealing in place, trapping the Evil Demon, it would have no choice but to negotiate with her and the other Evil Gods for its survival.
Of course, if after all these years the resurrected being remained powerfully terrifying and was impossible to communicate with, then she would simply have to retreat from the Evil Demon Sea.
But the likelihood of that was very low; Bai Suxi leaned towards the first possibility, that the resurrected Evil Demon only possessed the strength of a Wise Man Level being, not even qualified to negotiate with her.
The woman with bone-white hair cascading down her graceful hips stood above the serpent’s head, her vertical pupils narrowing in thought, as her serpentine eyes twisted into an X symbol.
The space before her also warped, forming a giant serpent’s eye.
"Ze, after I descend, I will share my vision with you," she said casually and then took a step, her elegant figure vanishing into the giant eye.
Ze nodded, his gaze following Bai Suxi as she departed.
Although in reality, it would have been more suitable for him to go to the Evil Demon Sea, since Suxi had volunteered herself, he naturally would not object. After millennia of companionship, he had grown accustomed to Suxi’s commands and assertiveness.
To the other Evil Gods, this might seem a great humiliation, but for him, it didn’t matter; he was already used to it.
As for the possibility of danger for Suxi facing that legendary being alone?
He wasn’t overly concerned.
The authority of a Bone-faced Evil God could immunize against any possession abilities and penetrate all sealing barriers.
A newly resurrected Evil Demon could not trouble him or Suxi, much less imprison Suxi.
