Chapter 762: Chapter 354: Is the Commander a Deity?!

In the special pupils of the clown, the entire Dragon Capital was shrouded in misfortune and deathly aura. This was a large-scale sacrifice involving multiple secret factions, with each greedily extracting the power of the living, trying every possible way to pass the karmic force of disaster onto others. It was a carnival.

The Porcelain Doll glanced at the clown, "Lord Chou, the fortune you accumulated for Ye Shidao should be able to support the descent of the Bloodthirsty Monarch’s will, right?"

The clown observed the sky above Dragon City and nodded slowly, "Yes."

"Ye Shidao, that old scoundrel, should know in his heart that these old believers are really crazy, using your fortune to secure another term as the Grand Governor. Without your fortune’s cover, he would have long been discovered by Dragon City’s Life Master." The Porcelain Doll laughed.

"He can’t hide from Him."

"He never intended to hide from Him in the first place. Each has their own needs; this is a tacit understanding. He understands." The Porcelain Doll laughed.

The clown silently gazed into the distance at Dragon City, where countless souls were dancing in terror, as if being scorched by flames. She...should be alright.

***

At this moment, in the sky above Dragon City, due to the absorption feedback from the Blood Demon within the city, Ye Shidao had already advanced to become a Great Angel. The battle situation immediately thoroughly tilted in favor of Ye Shidao. Now, even if Li Moqian wanted to run, it was already too late.

As a Battle Angel, Li Moqian already knew the fate that was about to befall him, but he did not avoid it, "Ye Shidao, the Laws of the Aeon cannot be defied. Doing this will lead to no good end for you."

Ye Shidao looked at the exhausted Li Moqian and laughed heartily, "Everything I have done is for the descent of my Lord. Sacrifice is inevitable, but my soul can achieve eternal life in my Lord’s realm. That is the greatest difference between us and you."

Li Moqian gathered all his strength and swung a sword that could split heaven and earth. With a loud bang, Ye Shidao’s body turned into countless black mists. The sword’s light flashed, slicing through the black mist, but Ye Shidao re-formed into a solid body, a gigantic Great Angel larger than the Battle Angel. Its clawed fleshy wings had already seized Li Moqian. The claws pierced through the Battle Angel’s body. One by one, muscular tendrils stabbed into Li Moqian, continuously absorbing his life force.

The sacrifices of the old aeon were undoubtedly the best for advancement, especially when so many people were sacrificed. The sheer joy of directly plundering the living wish power is unimaginable. Ye Shidao’s body continued to solidify and condense, becoming exceptionally ugly, unlike any regular Great Angel, aggressively breaking the Laws of the Aeon.

But Ye Shidao didn’t care at all. In one hand, he held the body of Li Moqian, who was becoming demonized, and shrieked to the sky. The sound covered all of Dragon City, and at the same time, the sky was heavy and oppressive as if it would collapse at any moment.

With Ye Shidao’s advancement to Great Angel, the Blood Demons within the city also began to mutate, with over ten Five-Life Broken Angel-level Blood Demons appearing. Although they failed to assume angelic forms, their destructive power rivaled that of angels.

Within top elite families, there are angels, but these angels only protect their family territory. They ignore the city’s turmoil and will not easily increase their own wear and tear. As the power of the Blood Demons grew, the Night Patrol and Hundred Martial Hall had no choice but to contract, falling into a bitter struggle.

Along the way, Li Xin had again slain two Blood Demons that had just reached Four Lives, and ambushed and killed a Blood Demon that had just mutated to Five Lives. His own losses were also significant, mainly because fighting Blood Demons required not only killing but leaving no marks. Once wounded by a Blood Demon, it would start to infect, and if bitten, one would directly become a Blood Demon. This is the most disgusting part and led to everyone having reservations during battles.

Once a strong individual transforms into a Blood Demon, they inherit most of their previous battle strength, which greatly impacts all those in battle.

Later, even when Li Xin saw a powerful Blood Demon, he did not dare to overexert, and at this point, had to make difficult choices.

Above the Council, Ye Shidao formed a huge fifty-meter-diameter blood-colored cocoon, with countless blood threads connecting the entire Dragon City, continuously drawing supply from the Blood Demons across Dragon City. Thunder roared in the sky, and bolts of lightning struck the cocoon, seemingly completing some terrifying ritual inside.

Li Xin had already quietly infiltrated near the cocoon, where all traces of life had vanished. All creatures had been transformed into Blood Demons. Holding the Inner Binding Seal, Li Xin entered the territory of the blood cocoon. Gazing at the terrifying aura of the monster condensed in mid-air, even with his strength he felt his entire body tingling as if electrocuted, his hair standing on end, and a constant ominous premonition rising in his heart to flee immediately.

Countless blood energy, transmitted through the Blood Demons to the blood cocoon, gave a feeling as if an embryo was pulsating inside. Each pulsation made Li Xin’s scalp tingle, his heart leap with alarm.

There is vaguely a power present as was with the former Earth Pope, only now it is enveloped by the blood cocoon, not yet fully released. This monster must not be allowed to break free.

Li Xin did not act immediately. He was also waiting, waiting for the Church Court’s reinforcements. Could the Moon God’s Court really just stand by?

If such a level of power is unleashed, even the Moon God Pope might find it difficult to handle. Can He really sit calmly at such a time? Is He not afraid of increasing His own wear and tear?

Or is it truly permitted for Dragon City to perish?

The Night God and the Moon God are mortal enemies. As the Moon God’s representative on the Dao Yuan Continent, has the Pope betrayed them?

Li Xin’s mind was spinning with countless thoughts; he couldn’t fathom the true intentions of these monsters.

Watching the increasingly frantic pulsations within the blood cocoon, Li Xin grew anxious. Not only that, the scene throughout Dragon City was dire. Although there were safety zones with the Night Patrol, Hundred Martial Hall, and the Church, this was a metropolis with millions, mostly ordinary people who couldn’t be saved in time; people were dying every second.

Li Xin impatiently awaited, but in his perception, no one from the Church Court was approaching. The figure within the blood cocoon had taken shape, and red light was almost seeping out—every indication showed that this entity was about to be born.

Further away, Qi Badao was crouched with more than a dozen Night Patrol members in a ruin. Their bodies trembled in fear, not daring to get any closer. Fortunately, the blood demons were having their energy extracted by the monster embryo and seemed unaware of matters beyond their vigilance perimeter.

"Qi Silver Owl, what’s the squad planning? This monster requires someone from the Church Court to handle it."

"The monster embryo nurtures the Old God of the Night God system; it’s likely that the Red-robed Archbishop or the Pope will need to intervene?"

Though the Night Patrol was fearless in the face of death, facing this terrifying scene still chilled them to the bone.

"What is the Church Court doing, why aren’t they here yet?"

Qi Badao watched the steadily forming flesh embryo, but the sky bore no sign of Church Court personnel.

"We’ll retreat together with the squad," Qi Badao said solemnly.

"Captain Qi, look, what is that!"

A Night Patrol member exclaimed in low voice, now a figure was swiftly racing towards the Evil God’s flesh embryo.

Li Xin grasped the scroll Vladimir had given him, which sealed the Holy Word Technique from the Earth Pope. He had experienced its power firsthand, and once thrown he couldn’t predict what might happen.

But now it had to be used!

Li Xin steadied his mind, transforming into the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, moving at high speed, becoming a fleeting silhouette. Yet, in this eerie environment, he still appeared exceptionally conspicuous. Instantly, the surrounding blood demons noticed him, though their attention was somewhat dulled by the blood cocoon.

The blood embryo seemed to sense something; seconds later, shockwaves that shook the world burst forth accompanied by the cry of the embryo.

Li Xin’s spiritual power gathered, his body tensed, and he faced the shockwave head-on without fear, crashing into it armed with the Nine-character True Words.

With the explosion, Li Xin pushed ever closer to the blood embryo; the embryo sensed the threat, its red light grew unbearably intense, enveloping its surroundings in a force field akin to a blood-soaked mire. Wave after wave of red light swept out like tides.

Once touched by the red light, blood demons burst apart, buildings shattered; the endless fluctuating seemed to demolish everything around the blood embryo.

Li Xin gritted his teeth, soaked in blood. The mental assault from the Evil God ravaged his flesh and mind like a storm, threatening to drive him insane.

Even Qi Badao and company, though beyond the blood embryo’s energy range, felt the suffocating madness, something seemingly itching to bore out of their heads. Despite their resolute will, the Night Patrol was torn with frenzied thoughts, bleeding from all seven apertures, yet everyone clenched their teeth, fixated on that distant figure—their gaze fixed solely on the silhouette unwaveringly advancing.

The silhouette continued forward, its speed slowing, yet undeterred by the blood embryo’s force.

Suddenly, the dice within Li Xin spun on its own, two faces radiating faint golden light; the forces of Justice and Fairness from the two laws were expelling the Evil God’s mental assault. Li Xin’s rigid thoughts seemed to thaw into clarity; without delay, he infused spiritual ability into the scroll, firing it full force at the blood cocoon in the air.

The golden scroll transformed into lightning, thundering out of nowhere, appearing instantly in the sky, unfurling to reveal the awe of the heavens—that was the power from the sub-deity. A gigantic golden sword slowly released from the scroll, slicing towards the blood cocoon.

—Holy Judgement!

Qi Badao and company stood in shocked silence, having forgotten the blood embryo’s attacks, their gaze feverishly locked onto Li Xin’s silhouette and the transcendent golden giant sword.

Was their squad leader a deity?!
