Almighty – Ch. 284

Thirty-Three Kilometres Deep Devils’ Lair

Xiaobai dropped to the ground and rolled. Yang Xiao watched Xiaobai rapidly absorb the fruit’s contents using his golden fur. Yang Tian would’ve needed days. The golden light Xiaobai shone down doused him in a golden light. The energy discharged intensified, keeping the divine herb away. Yang Xiao observed Xiaobai for a while before nodding and exiting Ancestral Dragon Ring.

The devils’ lair releasing a mass of sinister devil mist was a sign the seal was coming undone. The energy could invade and enslave them. Worried, Yang Xiao murmured, “Three Autarch Realm adepts were sent? It seems they have taken root on Western Continent.”

A strong team rushed toward the devils’ lair. Everyone in Pill Valley sprang into action due to the riot starting in Pill Flame Domain. Pill Valley’s elites were all on edge. It would be a disastrous lost if their clan’s divine body owner, Dan Xiaoxiao, was to meet with mishap inside.

Pill Valley Domain was encased in a formation that prohibited entry to outsiders. The only chance to enter was when they allowed access just before.

“One layer of the seal has almost been dismantled,” muttered Yuan Xia, frowning when she sensed the evil aura. She enclosed the surroundings using her divine soul energy and surveyed the area. “I wonder how Yang Tian is doing.”

Yang Xiao: “It won’t be easy for them to break out of the formation. There are numerous layers of killing formations. The outer perimeter is weak. They won’t be much of a threat.”

“Uncle Xiao, were you also part of setting up formations?”

“I did. Lots of formation masters gathered to set up a triple layer seal. Right at the bottom is a devil that could plunge the continent into chaos if it were to surface.” Yang Xiao sighed, knowing even the strongest forces from Central State would struggle to stop the devil’s rampage.

“You can assemble the outer perimeter killing formation?”

“I should be able to…” Sensing people approach, Yang Xiao decided to leave the dimension. Before he left, he urged, “Someone is coming. Hurry and join them. This place is no longer safe.”

Shangguan Hao interrogated Yang Tian with his gaze as he approached. He had a suspicion Yang Tian was the one who flung the barrage of rocks at him. The reason he suspected Yang Tian was the latter’s brute strength. His forehead was still red and swollen, giving him a comical appearance. He insouciantly asked, “Meng Tian, was it you who caused the ruckus?”

“Huh? I’m not that strong. How about going there to take a look?”

Shangguan Hao jerked his head back because the energy was overpowering. “What the hell is that?”

“Haha, a treasure probably.”

“Let’s go!” The two had travelled when an hour when Shangguan Hao suddenly inquired, “I don’t think it’s a treasure; the energy is too sinister. The devils couldn’t have emerged, could they?”

Yang Tian was surprised Shangguan Hao knew there were devils sealed underground. Possessing such knowledge hinted he wasn’t from any odd clan. “How should I know? Look at those old men going crazy. They must be fighting for the treasure. Let’s get going.”

Though doubtful, Shangguan Hao followed Yang Tian, who already took off. The sinister aura grew in magnitude the closer they got. Those who couldn’t maintain a level head would be possessed. Just as Shangguan Hao was about to call it quits and withdraw, Yang Tian grabbed him. “If they really are devils, we should follow those old geezers. At least, they can protect us.”

The two wrestled with each other as they advanced. People out catching fire spirits soon noticed the disturbance. Shangguan Hao cursed, “It appears they really are devils. Who’s the moron who released them?”

Charcoal clouds took over. Inside was a thirty-three square kilometre chasm. Devils’ qi continuously gushed out. Their cries from within were audible, pulling Yang Tian’s hairs up. Yang Tian and Shangguan Hao followed behind Pill Valley’s adepts’ party. There were over thirty members in the party. More were scheduled to arrive as reinforcements.

The group landed at the barrier. The three who ambushed Elder Dan sat inside a void and absorbed the black energy from below. Their sinister auras were a clear indication they benefitted from the energy.

One of the mysterious individuals: “Old Dan, I suggest you keep your nose out of this, or I’ll raze Pill Valley to the ground!”

“Hahaha, the continent does not need your sly kind.”

“Hahaha, this old one acknowledges your skill; however, you’re far from strong enough to break through the formation the three of us set.”

An elder showed up. “Did you include me?”
