Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 187 - 147: Demon Sacrifice (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

Chapter 187: Chapter 147: Demon Sacrifice (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

Li Qian’s face showed an expression of disbelief.

Under normal circumstances, the influence of the Small Demon Descent Technique wouldn’t cause such a huge commotion.

Yet now, a scene that could only be described as earth-shattering had emerged.

Looking around, the figures of other people had already vanished.

He knew that the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array had been successfully formed.

Everyone had been trapped within the Great Array.

Such a large-scale Array would be impossible for even a Heavenly Person to escape from.

Through his perception, he could see numerous silhouettes moving within the fog.

Those were the residents of Baibi City.

Their spirits had been affected by the Small Demon Descent Technique, unconsciously wandering out from their homes.

The four Heavenly Persons could probably only maintain their consciousness with difficulty, but leaving the Great Array would be extremely challenging.

Little Black was unaffected because it was shielded by Li Qian’s Heavenly Phenomenon Level Sword Intent.

In fact, Li Qian had a crude method that could temporarily protect all the residents of Baibi City.

That was to gather everyone together and cover them with his Heavenly Phenomenon Level Sword Intent, which could fend off the invasion of the Small Demon Descent Technique.

As long as they could persevere through the demonic sacrifice, everyone would be able to survive.

But the problem was, how long would this sacrificial ceremony last?

To protect such a massive population with his Heavenly Phenomenon Sword Intent would be incredibly taxing on his spirit, and he definitely wouldn’t be able to uphold it for long.

It was a solution akin to drinking poison to quench thirst; he might even end up sacrificing himself.

Therefore, it was not a method he could adopt.

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Li Qian’s mind, and he quickly unleashed his Qi Blood Holy Realm.

The Qi Blood Holy Realm expanded, covering an area of over three hundred meters.

A bizarre scene unfolded; wherever the Qi Blood Holy Realm spread, the fog was avoided.

"It seems my Qi Blood Holy Realm has a significant restraining effect on the Small Demon Descent Technique. I wonder if I could break those stone coffins and destroy the Array nodes that connect the Small Demon Descent Technique to the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array?"

Li Qian muttered to himself.

Immediately, he rode Little Black and swiftly flew towards the crowd moving through the fog.

Wherever the Qi Blood Holy Realm covered, the fog dispersed, and those who had been controlled collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep slumber.

Once his Qi Blood Holy Realm was lifted, the fog gathered again, and those people stood up once more.

Li Qian didn’t bother with them and headed straight for a stone coffin instead.

Looking at the stone coffin still emitting dense fog, Li Qian didn’t hesitate to throw a punch, his Qi Blood power converging like golden flames, dealing a harsh blow to the coffin.

With a thunderous boom,

the entire stone coffin was shattered, the unknown leg bones inside also broke into pieces, and the strange black patterns on them seemed to dim suddenly.

Moreover, the emerging fog abruptly ceased.

Suddenly, Li Qian turned his gaze towards the huge foggy silhouette of leg bones in the sky, which seemed to be dissipating.

"Great, my Qi Blood Holy Realm can really clear these Array nodes."

Li Qian revealed a joyful look.

Under normal circumstances, destroying the stone coffins and unknown demonic leg bones wouldn’t dispel the Small Demon Descent Technique.

Because the Small Demon Descent Technique had already merged with the entire Baibi City.

Only the destruction of the Array nodes that connected the Small Demon Descent Technique to the Seven Stars Moon Worship Array would be effective.

With his current mastery of Array techniques, he didn’t have the ability.

Unexpectedly, by utilizing the strong restraining effect of his Qi Blood Holy Realm, he easily destroyed the Array node.

Truly an unexpected joy.

Without further delay, he mounted Little Black and flew to the other stone coffins, using the power of his Qi Blood Holy Realm to smash these Array nodes, one by one.

As the last stone coffin and the unknown demonic leg bones were blasted into dust, the silhouette of the immense foggy leg bones in the sky, already much fainter, began to dissipate in an instant.

The howling sound within the fog also disappeared.

Li Qian looked down again, only to see the fog dispersing.

Moreover, the night sky above was also gradually fading, the bright moon hidden away, slowly revealing blue skies and white clouds.

"Finally, it’s a success."

Li Qian let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

He had no knowledge of other places, but Baibi City should be safe now.

However, the city’s residents had been severely affected by the Small Demon Descent Technique, experiencing significant mental drain. The healthy ones might feel weak for a while, but those in poor health would definitely fall seriously ill.

...

Banling City.

Above in the night sky, a bizarre moon hung high, radiating an eerie glow.

Below, most of the city was shrouded in a thick fog, with the huge phantom of a beast’s head looming in the night.

On the other side stood a curious blue light, bursting forth and forming the shadow of an immense bamboo forest that covered a large area.

Within this zone, nearly two hundred thousand residents of Banling City had gathered.

And the source of this blue light was none other than Daoist Master Yu Song.

He used his Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Intent to communicate with the heavens and earth, hurriedly setting up a Great Array to resist the mist’s invasion and shield the people of Banling City from the effects of the Small Demon Descent Technique.

The Seven Stars Moon Worship Array had been completed; beyond this method, he could think of no other.

He could only save the people of Banling City for now.

At least it would weaken the demon body formed by the Great Demon Descent Technique.

...

In an unnamed underground palace.

Atop a massive altar, strange light flared.

Gray mist poured out from seven pillars.

However, the mist emerging from one pillar was very thin.

"Hmph, this Taiwu Dao Master is truly worthy of being an Array Master from the Taishan Realm, to be able to arrange an array with the power of Heavenly Phenomenon and protect a whole city of people... But I wonder how long you can hold out?"

The man in black robes snorted coldly.

He was not surprised.

In fact, he had already taken this into account.

This would greatly consume Taiwu Dao Master’s powers. When the divine body became formed and the Saint Master’s Demon Thought descended, the first thing to do would be to kill the Taiwu Dao Master.

Suddenly, the black-robed man looked at another pillar on the altar.

The mist which had been thick around this particular pillar suddenly began to thin.

The gray mist pouring out from the other five pillars remained unchanged.

"What’s happening?"

He was stunned.

Before long, the mist from this pillar grew thinner and eventually vanished completely.

What’s more important, the light emanating from that pillar also dimmed and finally went out.

"Damn it, what has happened in Baibi City? Could there be a problem with the Small Demon Descent Technique?"

The man in the black robes roared.

Even if the demonic ritual could continue, the loss of two cities, especially with the incomplete Seven Stars Moon Worship Array, would have a significant impact on the Great Demon Descent Technique.

The power of the demon body that the Saint Master would descend into would be greatly weakened, creating a substantial setback for their subsequent plans.

After a long while, the mist emitted by the five pillars started to fade.

Meanwhile, within the central stone coffin of the altar, a terrifying and oppressive aura was rapidly taking shape.

When the mist from the five pillars had completely disappeared,

And just as the aura in the stone coffin reached its zenith, an overwhelming notion suddenly descended upon the palace.

Including the man in the black robes, everyone in the palace shuddered, falling to their knees and shouting loudly.

"Welcome the Saint Master’s descent to the mortal realm."

Quickly, a paw covered in hair emerged from the stone coffin, gripping the edge tightly, and as it exerted force, a majestic and fierce figure sat up from the stone coffin.

And then, a voice filled with authority and depth resounded within the palace.

"Hei Xiong, what kind of job have you done, why is this demon body so weak?"
