Ch 2175 - The Light of the Devil's Altar
…
…
…
As this voice suddenly echoed, whether it was Lin Ming or Sheng Mei, the two of them clearly remembered who it was.
This voice came from the Old Man!
Lin Ming turned around, his Black Dragon Spear tilted in front of him. The towering purple-armored Abyssal flew high in the air a hundred feet away, its hands clasped in front of it, staring at Lin Ming and Sheng Mei from command positions.
Deep Child's voice was soothing and magnetic, not at all looking like an abyssal, but rather a simple and well-mannered man from the 33 Heavens race. Upon hearing it, one even felt that this was a comfortable sound.
“Black Flood is not here yet. Then, he was eliminated by you two? ” Deep Child looked at Lin Ming and Sheng Mei, his gaze full of meaning.
Listening to these words, Lin Ming's skin darkened. This Inner Child had already guessed that he and Sheng Mei had killed the Great Flood Crown Prince!
The truth is that this is not worth mentioning at all. Instead, the key point was that Deep Child was completely calm and prepared as he made this guess, as if it was a trivial matter. In other words, this meant that the power of the Inner Child far exceeded the power of the Great Flood Crown Prince!
By the time they killed the Great Flood Crown Prince, Lin Ming gave everything with Sheng Mei supporting him to display the full might of the nine red lotus revolutions. However, when facing Deep Child, Lin Ming lacked confidence that he would emerge victorious.
“Ninth Elder, can you get rid of your spear?”
Deep Child said with a smile. He continued, “As is the junior-apprentice Sister here, why did you even take out your sword? From what I remember, your relationship with the Ninth Elder is not very good. That's right, aren't you strongly opposed to this forced marriage? And now you suddenly stand on the same side as him and brandish a sword at me without hesitation. Could it be that you and the Ninth Elder have developed secret feelings for each other during these years in the Demon God Tomb, and have even dual-cultivated each other?
Deep Child's voice carried a light mocking tone. However, this ridicule did not cause any ripples in Sheng Mei's expression. Instead, he inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. From what Deep Child said, he didn't seem to know Lin Ming's true identity.
“Could it... You're afraid your senior apprentice brother will steal your tribute book?”
Deep Child stepped forward, one foot at a time. He slowly reached out as if he wanted to push Sheng Mei's sword.
Seeing Deep Child's hand outstretched, Sheng Mei twisted her bone sword and raised it. The tip of the sword shone with a cold light, forcing Deep Child's hand back. “If you really want the ceremonial book, I'll give it to you!”
From beginning to end, ever since Deep Child entered the Demon God Tomb, he had never fought for the ceremonial rite books.
Sheng Mei was well aware that Deep Child was one of the Soul Emperor's trusted subordinates and Soul Emperor trusted him more than himself. If he wanted to compete for the qualifications to bring the ceremonial book, then the person who brought the Book of Evil here might not necessarily be him.
Moreover, in the Demon God Tomb, other than his Crime Book, there was also Eon Lin Ming's Book and the Crown Prince's Great Flood Nether Book.
Deep Child also seemed to have no interest in these two ceremonial books. After he entered the Demon God Tomb, he seemed to disappear without a trace, no one knew where he was going.
With all the strange clues circulating, how could Sheng Mei not suspect him?
As Sheng Mei spoke, she simply took out the Crime Book without hesitation. Then, without even glancing at it, he threw it towards Deep Child.
Holy hooch!
Sheng Mei poured a huge amount of energy into the ancient Book of Evil. It flew towards Deep Child like a shooting star.
“Heh!”
Deep Child smiled. He reached out his hand and an extremely compressed force field appeared in his palm. With a faint buzz, the rapidly flying Book of Evil seemed to face overwhelming resistance, its speed decreasing rapidly. Then, it completely stopped and lightly fell into the Deep Child's palm.
“Junior apprentice brother, you are still as arrogant as ever.” Deep Child didn't seem to care much at all. He picked up the Book of Evil and casually opened its pages, reading it like an ordinary human reading a novel. “This is a very precious treasure, but Junior Disciple Sister doesn't seem to want it, and gave it to me easily ..”
Sheng Mei did not respond. He wanted to see what Deep Child would do next, and whether he would step onto the dark altar and receive baptism from the abyssal ritual.
Not to mention Sheng Mei still did not know whether the abyssal ritual was a trap or not, she needed to ascertain whether one needed a protector if one chose to undergo the abyssal baptism ritual.
Otherwise, while one was undergoing an abyssal ritual, what would happen if one were to experience an attack in whatever unknown state they would experience?
They might reverse their meridians, causing the abyssal ritual to fail instantly. If that happened, would they die right away?
With all these uncertain circumstances, how could Sheng Mei and Lin Ming perform an abyssal ritual with the presence of the Deep Child?
“It looks like Junior Student Sister is very wary of me..”
Deep Child said. With the Book of Evil in his hand, he stepped onto the dark altar.
At this moment, Lin Ming and Sheng Mei locked their senses on every single action and movement of the Inner Child.
Deep Child stepped into the middle of the dark abyssal altar.he extended his hand before him and the Book of Evil slowly floated high into the air where it began to revolve above his head.
The creepy and ancient Book of Evil opened, the pages being turned one by one. Layers of Law runes began to revolve in the air, blooming with black and red lights.
Deep Child closed his eyes. His body floated high in the air, completely drenched in the light of the ancient book. His face was filled with intoxicating madness, as if he was enjoying the most pleasant thing in the world.
And at this time, the ground under Lin Ming and Sheng Mei's feet began to tremble slightly.
Pshaw!
A shockwave suddenly erupted from the Deep Child, blowing to all sides. For a moment, the fog that enveloped the mystic realm beneath the Emperor Bone Sea was shaken by the shockwave and turned into a pure force of demonic gods that began to gather towards the dark altar where Deep Child was located.
The surroundings became clear after the fog disappeared. At this moment, from the other end of the Yellow Spring River, three gray lights flew towards them. These three beams of light were like three bridges of gods, crossing the void of space and time to arrive above the dark altar.
Deep Child opened his mouth, completely swallowing these three beams of light.
At this moment, Lin Ming could clearly see the origin of these three beams of light. They came from the three demon pagodas on the other side of the Yellow Springs River!
Light gathered at the peak of the demon pagoda, flowing through it before finally coming out from the mouth of the demon relief carved on the gate!
Lin Ming probed with his senses and discovered that the heights of these three demon pagodas were 12 levels, 15 levels, and 15 levels respectively…
As this light was absorbed by Deep Child, his eyes turned purple like ghosts. His voice was no longer pleasant and soothing, but was now accompanied by a dark and hostile tone.
“Ha ha ha! How comfortable! For many years I could not enjoy such power! “
Deep Child's words caused Lin Ming and Sheng Mei's hearts to turn cold. He had not enjoyed such strength for so many years? Does that mean he enjoyed it before?
Pa pa pa pa!
Deep Child broke his neck and his joints let out a crackling sound that exploded. In just a few breaths of time, his mortal body began to grow steadily. He became taller and stronger and his muscles looked as if they were going to explode with force.
“You don't want to come and try it?”
Deep Child licked his lips, his purple ghost-like eyes aimed towards Lin Ming and Sheng Mei.
Lin Ming frowned. “This is not an abyssal ritual! At least it wasn't the abyssal ritual described in the jade slip of the Demon God Tomb! “
According to the information on the jade slip of the Demon God Tomb, the abyssal ritual was very risky, almost very dangerous. Even if an unrivalled genius withstood the baptism of an abyssal ritual, they still had nine chances of death and one chance of survival!
Although Lin Ming was confident he could pass the exam, he believed that even if he were to live it, it would not be easy at all. He even had to experience some sort of excruciating and inhumane pain.
But Deep Child seems to be too relaxed. Moreover, even though Deep Child had activated the Book of Evil, the power he absorbed did not come from the Book of Evil. Lin Ming clearly felt that at that moment, Deep Child had twisted the array formation runes on his body, and these array formation runes had drawn all three of these powers towards him.
This caused Lin Ming to suspect that even without the Evil Book, Deep Child could equally absorb this power!
“Hehe, you're partly right. This is not an actual abyssal ritual, but it does not mean it has nothing to do with the abyssal ritual. The so-called abyssal ritual was to step onto the altar and resist the baptism of energy from the many demon pagodas! Each demon pagoda had the remains of the souls and corpses of the emperors of the ancient demon race sealed within it. But ... how could it be so easy to absorb the soul power and blood vitality of an ancient demon race emperor? Thus, when resisting the energy baptism of the demon pagoda, even an unrivalled genius would fail if their potential was lacking. Their foundations would break, their meridians would be torn apart, their organs and bones would all be destroyed and they would die!
“That's why abyssal rituals have such a high mortality rate! But once one passed by, they would be reborn, and slowly grow into one of the six great totem-level bottomless abysses!
“And whether it is the Crown Prince of the Great Flood or I, none of us have the ability to withstand the abyssal ritual. The difference between us was that Black Flood was too arrogant and arrogant on his own, and lacked understanding of how deep his skills were. He wanted to take the Nether Book to the Sea Emperor Bone to commit suicide. But I, I know how terrible the abyss ritual is. If I were to actually undergo an abyssal ritual, then all I would face would be death by explosion!
“The fate of death from the explosion was to be a sacrificial offering to the Bone Sea Emperor. You will turn into a force that irrigates this land and space, causing the mystic realm that is the Sea of Emperor Bone to become even more stable, and causing the 360 demon pagodas here to become much more terrifying!
“I don't have the ability, but you do! So come! You will gain abyssal level totem power! In the future you can further expand my Dark Gorge and trample the 33 Heavens, destroying everyone in front of you! You can elevate our abyssal race to become the only one in the universe, the ruler of the universe!
