Startling Change
The jade’s glow brightened over time, but the devil did, as well, resulting in a deadlock.
Yang Tian: “Divine Herb, does the jade possess a spirit?”
The small divine herb answered, “I don’t know. Xiaoyu should be able to speak, but she can’t anymore.”
Yang Tian wanted to try and learn more about the jade piece using divination but didn’t, for failure would result in him taking damage.
The devil started to feel frustrated. He was weaker than before due to offering his blood to create the phantoms. He fired a black energy ray from his fingers, creating a small entrapment. At the same time, he sprayed his corrupt energy that was capable of erasing Celestial Rank artefacts’ powers from his mouth.
The divine herb was scared the devil would kidnap her, but Yang Tian was no match for him. Xiaoyu’s situation did not bode well as corrupt energy encircled her, while the phantoms pushed her download
“Celestial mist!” exclaimed the nightmare dragon.
Smiling, Yang Tian remarked, “You are finally awake, Elder.”
Nightmare dragon: “The darn devil woke me up. I can’t believe it housed him all this time! No Houtian cultivator can defeat him. I can’t believe the flawless dao gave birth to a flawless divine devil!”
“Were they not aware they were raising a devil?”
“There are two possibilities. The first possibility is somebody might’ve thrown the devil in here to complete his body. Before the herb deity passed away, he set up the killing formations capable of slaying deities. Foreign races couldn’t enter. That possibility is rather unlikely because raising a devil ruins harmony. The second possibility is the owner of this area wanted to raise him to slay him for an opportunity. It sounds ridiculous, but don’t forget your Merit drove a deity crazy. If you slew this devil, you’d become a deity with a merit to his name! He is trying to autonomously complete his body.”
Yang Tian’s jaw almost hit the ground. It sounded so absurd. He followed up with another question. “What is the celestial artefact’s story?”
The nightmare dragon bitterly responded, “I’m not sure, either. The artefact is only a fragment. I don’t know who damaged it.”
“It belongs to the divine herb, though.”
“Not even the devil could take it. Their energies clash, so he couldn’t wield it even if he took it.”
The jade piece shot through the corrupt energy. Streaks of celestial patterns flowed, resembling heavenly dao moving.
The divine herb exclaimed, “Xiaoyu has awoken!”
Xiaoyu was blindingly bright. The devil used his divine done to hammer down on the jade. The jade called out, shaking everything. Xiaoyu broke free of the downward pressure and zoomed over to the divine herb. Everything fell silent. Xiaoyu appeared above the divine herb, prompting Yang Tian to exclaim, “What?!”
The divine herb glowed. Holy Qi seeped out from her. She glowed. The jade piece took her into the Ancestral Well.
