Chapter 1823 - 1680: Fiery Heart!
Chapter 1823: Chapter 1680: Fiery Heart!
Panic swept through the entire city!
Sky City had always been stable and solemn, yet who would have thought these man-eating Sky Demons would suddenly appear within the city!
Sky Demons with wings surged into the sky, using their claws to tear apart the bodies of the Imperial Guards, then cruelly ate their flesh and drank their blood.
Dark masses roiled like a storm through Sky City, causing all the Imperial Guards to become panic-stricken and disorganized, resembling a clash between two armies of vastly different levels.
Long fed, the Sky Demons’ strength had exceeded theirs considerably. Now, they possessed absolute strength to overthrow this increasingly decaying Heavenly Palace, Sky City.
The blood rain grew thicker, engulfing the entire city in battle and slaughter.
The bloody scene turned the white Sky City into eye-catching crimson, with rivers of red flowing through the streets, soaking fragmented corpses.
The laughter of the Ancestral Sky Demon, Yu Tian, sent shivers down the spine. Raising their heads, the Imperial Guards abruptly discovered the Totem Goddess Daiqing had mysteriously lost an arm!
And this arm, grasped by the Ancestral Sky Demon Yu Tian, was savagely consumed before their eyes!
This monstrous creature had monstrous strength, even the Totem-powered Goddess was no match for it.
The Totem Goddess Daiqing retreated, pale-faced, into the Totem Barrier.
With her retreat, Yu Tian’s slaughter turned even more terrifying, as swaths of Imperial Guards were killed.
The 50,000 Imperial Guards could barely hold on for much longer; Yu Tian seemed intent on leaving no escape for the Totem Goddess Daiqing. The mad demon descended from high altitude, stomping fiercely on the Solar Eclipse Array’s barrier.
The barrier shattered underfoot, a wave of destruction spreading from Sky City’s center in all directions, obliterating all remaining structures, turning more innocent city dwellers into dust.
"Come out now; I will return your arm, and you will still be my most loyal servant." Yu Tian sneered, spitting the mangled arm from his mouth.
The arm was reduced to bone; Yu Tian was completely taunting the Totem Goddess Daiqing.
Daiqing stayed within the barrier, filled with Red Fire Day’s flames, knowing Yu Tian would not dare invade recklessly, allowing her to seize the chance to heal herself.
"What, changed your mind? Too late for regret now, this Heavenly Palace is already mine, or rather, it has long been mine." Yu Tian said mockingly against the barrier.
His deep yellow eyes scanned the Totem Believer Women of the Solar Eclipse Array, his predatory gaze making the senior believers tremble with fear.
Daiqing was trying her best to heal herself and absorb the energy of Divine Dew.
Watching her actions, Yu Tian continued with disdain: "Don’t forget, who made you the Totem Goddess? Besides, even as Totem Goddess, you’re not as powerful as the predecessor."
The Totem Goddess Daiqing glared angrily at the Ancestral Sky Demon, Yu Tian. Indeed, he had given her the position, but before then, she hadn’t known Yu Tian was the Ancestral Sky Demon disguised in human skin. By the time she discovered the truth, the Heavenly Palace had been thoroughly corrupted by him.
Daiqing’s face was ashen. She glanced towards out of the city.
Outside, the seething Red Fire Day energy continued to churn, with tongues of flame extending towards here.
Amidst the Red Fire Day energy, Chu Mu still lay partially reclined there.
The hole in his chest was shocking, and upon closer inspection, one would see the spreading blood bizarrely merging with the Red Fire Day energy, as if bloodlines flowing into a new body.
...
"What are you doing?" Chu Mu asked, filled with confusion, looking at the Human Mother.
The Human Mother was indeed healing Chu Mu, yet he sensed she was also injecting some kind of power into his body.
What she injected wasn’t mere energy; she diffused Chu Mu’s blood into the entire Red Fire Day energy mass, and then as the blood returned to Chu Mu, he absorbed even more of the Red Fire Day Energy!
Chu Mu himself was shaped by the power of Red Fire Day at the Undying Level, naturally absorbing this energy easily.
"I’m shaping your heart," the Human Mother said seriously.
"Shaping my heart?" Chu Mu was taken aback.
His heart had been shattered by Yu Tian’s claw; normally, it could be repaired through healing.
Yet, with the inexplicable infusion from the Human Mother, Chu Mu found his heart transforming from its original form into a vivid red Flame Heart.
Chu Mu’s heart was ultimately a Demonheart, a combination of human and nightmare demon heart, and with the immense infusion of Red Fire Day energy, Chu Mu’s heart surged with an incredibly volatile energy.
The heart is the conduit for the body’s blood; as Chu Mu used Soul Sense to examine himself, he suddenly discovered the blood flowing from his Flame Heart to various parts of his body resembled lava!
Lava blood??
Chu Mu was stunned as well.
This lava blood had almost absorbed all the Red Fire Day energy gathered in the Solar Eclipse Array into his body.
Chu Mu didn’t mind gaining greater strength; the issue was, this power was meant for infusion into the Heavenly Boundary Monument. Without these energies, the Heavenly Boundary Monument would collapse!
"Have you gone mad?" Chu Mu questioned.
The energy is the very force supporting the World; if it is infused into oneself, then the entire World would collapse!
"I’m not crazy," the Human Mother calmly said, "The Ancestral Sky Demon was already frightful in power even eons ago, comparable to the Ten Thousand Year Roulette-level Creatures, and after lurking in the Heavenly Palace for these many years, its prowess has grown much stronger. Right now, it’s nearly invincible!"
Chu Mu looked at the silhouette of that Ancestral Sky Demon within Sky City with a composed expression.
The demon qi and dark energy emanating from the Ancestral Sky Demon enshrouded this entire Human Land completely, with flocks of Sky Demons flying across the sky everywhere.
Thousands of Imperial Guards were utterly powerless before it, and even several Undying-level Heavenly Commanders from the Totem Temple and Roulette Temple, whose strengths rivaled the Dragon Girl’s, were easily defeated by it.
Totem Goddess Daiqing had an arm eaten by it, and the Roulette Phoenix Ancestor, facing the concerted assault of numerous era’s strongest figures, likewise found itself in peril, as the Good and Evil Queen also made her move at this moment.
Those era’s strong ones had long held grudges against the Heavenly Palace; they’d rather side with the Sky Demons than see their rulers, the Heavenly Palace, continue to survive.
As for the World’s collapse, they believed more that it was a fabricated lie by the Heavenly Palace for its own everlasting existence.
"The Sky Demons fear the red fire; when your Heart of Red Fire is forged, you will need to deal with it," the Human Mother seriously stated.
"What about the Heavenly Boundary Monument?" Chu Mu asked.
Next to Chu Mu was a large fissure, from which, when looking down, one could see the Human Land shrunk to the size of a mere piece of land.
The Human Land was enveloped by a low-pressure cyclone, and above the cyclone appeared space fissures and vortices.
These fissures and space vortices were the prelude to a Black Hole; it wouldn’t be long before the Sky over the Human Land turned like that of Yin Valley in the past, with everything being sucked into a Black Hole.
"Kill it first," the Human Mother stated.
With Sky City being seized by the Sky Demons, any salvation was mere talk.
Chu Mu nodded, not saying more.
This was Chu Mu’s second time embracing the energy of the Red Fire Daylight; compared to the first time, although the energy of the Red Fire Daylight was more domineering this time, Chu Mu’s body naturally assimilated it.
His heart connected to his bloodstream throughout his body; this time, the Human Mother practically infused all the energy that the Sky City Array absorbed during the entire Solar Eclipse process into Chu Mu’s body.
One must know, this power was used to sustain the Heavenly Boundary Monument, supporting the World!
Its magnitude is truly beyond descriptive words.
...
The Ancestral Sky Demon gyrated its skull, its terrifying, deep yellow eyeballs suddenly turning towards out of the City.
It sensed it, sensed someone was absorbing the energy of the Red Fire Day!
It was that Demon Man!
The face of the Ancestral Sky Demon, Yu Tian, became fierce; this guy could actually absorb such tempestuous Red Fire power!!
Totem Goddess Daiqing also now gazed in that direction...
She didn’t expect that the Undying-level Demon Man birthed from the Red Fire Daylight had begun absorbing the entire Solar Eclipse power!
It was the Human Mother, it must’ve been the Human Mother shaping him!
The Human Mother did not possess tremendously strong power herself, but the Totem Goddess’s power originated from her.
For she was the strongest shaper in this World!
"The power of Red Fire Day," only Totem Goddess Daiqing comprehended how vast the energy absorbed from the Solar Eclipse was, and if used to shape a strong one...
Daiqing’s pale face revealed a smile, one slightly insane with allure, "Yu Tian, didn’t you say there was no one stronger than you in this World??"
The expression on the Ancestral Sky Demon Yu Tian’s face grew even more sinister.
"They are bringing about their own destruction!" the Ancestral Sky Demon Yu Tian coldly remarked.
How could it not know that this Red Fire Day power was used to support the Heavenly Boundary Monument?
The Human Mother infused this energy into that Red Fire kid’s body, akin to sacrificing the life of the entire World to trade for a strong one matching its power.
The Human Mother had gone mad, she was causing the ten Heavenly Boundary Monuments to collapse.
She was killing every living creature in this World...
The World collapsed, the Ancestral Sky Demon was not afraid because most of its Sky Demons were derivative; as long as it lived, a countless number would soon proliferate.
But other races could not survive in a broken, collapsing World.
