Chapter 1408 - 235: Eight Blood Stars
Chapter 1408: Chapter 235: Eight Blood Stars
"Dugu Xiu? What are you really planning?" Jiuluan, Di, Bimong, and several clan leaders of the Hua Clan, unwilling to collude with Dugu Xiu, were all imprisoned together.
"Foolish Beast Clan, I will lead the Eight Desolate Beast Clan to rebuild its glory. Obey me and you shall live; defy me and you shall die. If you refuse to join the Conquest Army, your clans and your loved ones will have no other path than death." The reborn Dugu Xiu possessed terrifyingly powerful strength.
Lu, Zi, Lipa, and Lu Yunshuang had no choice but to temporarily retreat to their respective tribes.
"The sky holds eight stars; they are transformed from the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts. In 24 hours, when the eight stars align, the Dutian Blood Seal will be broken by the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, and then, the Eight Desolate Conquest Army will flatten the Wuji Continent in one fell swoop." Dugu Xiu’s eyes were filled with yearning.
His dream of returning to the Wuji Continent to conquer could finally be realized.
Those unwilling to follow his orders, the Four Great Beast Clans, were stripped of the honor of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan. Now, the Bahuang Continent belonged to the Black Qilin, and it was Dugu Xiu’s realm, a development that Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming, and others had not anticipated.
"Wuji Continent! This time, I, Dugu Xiu, will make your rivers run red with blood." With a sweep of Dugu Xiu’s sleeve, outside the Beast God Altar, a million-strong army from the Eight Desolates emitted a thunderous sound, hatred sweeping across the Bahuang Continent.
"Return Wuji to me! Bathe Wuji in blood!"
Wave after wave of cries broke through the horizon of the Bahuang Continent.
The eight disastrous stars of the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts still sparkled brightly in the sky.
"Yun Sheng!"
Upon seeing the Eight Blood Stars slowly move toward the Dutian Blood Realm, Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming, and Bo Bo quickly rushed to the Dutian Blood Realm.
Once they arrived at the Dutian Blood Realm, they saw several familiar faces and the armies from other mainland countries that had gathered there for days.
"Lingling!" "Qi!"
Besides Donghuang Lingling and Qi, Yun Sheng also saw Chang Siming from Penglai and several elders from the Mainland Elite Camp.
Seeing her old familiar comrades, Yun Sheng’s surprise was accompanied by growing anxiety.
"Have you all seen those eight stars in the sky? What exactly are they? The continent is in turmoil, and the people’s hearts are uneasy."
Just days ago, when the Eight Evil Stars first appeared, Chang Siming, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly informed the leaders of several countries, including Donghuang Lingling, to quickly gather at the Dutian Blood Realm.
It turned out that Chang Siming had observed the abnormal stars in the night sky.
Those eight stars were blood-red and slowly moving.
Realizing the ominousness, Chang Siming hurriedly read an oracle and foresaw a calamity befalling the Dutian Blood Realm.
"Those eight stars are indeed apocalyptic disasters. If my guess is correct, in 24 hours, when the eight stars form a straight line, the Wuji Continent will face a catastrophe." Knowing of the disaster’s advent, Chang Siming gathered everyone to deliberate on how to resolve the crisis caused by the Eight Evil Stars.
"Master, those are no ordinary stars. They are the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts of the Bahuang Continent. If they’re not stopped in time, the Dutian Blood Seal will collapse." Ji Ru Mo’s appearance shocked everyone present.
"Ru Mo, you? You’re not dead?" Seeing his beloved disciple resurrected, Chang Siming was astonished but knew this was not the time for joy.
Yun Sheng briefly recounted the events that had occurred in the Bahuang Continent.
She regretted that the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts taken from the Bahuang Tower by her and Ye Beiming were now giving the High Priest and others an opportunity to counter-attack the Wuji Continent.
The revelation of Dugu Xiu’s possible resurrection through Ye Xiu’s power, alongside the return of formidable figures like the High Priest and Yu Shang from thousands of years ago, cast a somber silence over everyone.
It all was coming to pass.
Years ago, Gu Feng had used the Life Burning Technique to reconstruct the Dutian Blood Seal, but if it was broken again, who could stop the Beast Clan from the Eight Desolates?
"Now, there’s only one solution." Yun Sheng glanced at everyone and then at Gu Feng, trapped in the Dutian Blood Seal. "We must use the Eight Desolate Divine Artifact to counter the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact."
"The High Priest gathered the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, but we also possess the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts. Chang Siming, do you have a method to create a formation within 24 hours to counter the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact?" Fortunately, it was not yet the worst of times.
They had their own Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts.
"But Yun Sheng, our Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts are incomplete. As you know, I only have a part of the War God Spear’s power." The concern Ye Beiming expressed was valid; he possessed only half of the War God Spear’s power in his right hand.
Originally, he and Dugu Xiu both shared the War God Spear.
This meant that the Wuji Continent side did not have the complete Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts.
"Don’t worry too much about that, because the High Priest doesn’t grasp a complete set of the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts either. You’ve probably noticed that one of the eight Blood Stars is relatively dim." Yun Sheng’s slender finger pointed.
Indeed, the Blood Star located centrally appeared somewhat dim.
"Could it be? The Dark Destiny Mirror?" Ji Ru Mo suddenly realized.
"Exactly. I suspected ill intentions when the High Priest acquired the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, hence leaving him the Dark Destiny Mirror. He likely hasn’t realized that the Dark Destiny Mirror isn’t quite right." Yun Sheng shrugged.
Be it the Heavenly Destiny Mirror or the Dark Destiny Mirror, the most crucial part is the Mirror Spirit.
The Mirror Spirit within the Dark Destiny Mirror had long been absorbed by Ji Ruxue, leaving the Dark Destiny Mirror as a mere shell. Its actual power amounts to only one or two tenths, rendering the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts incomplete as well.
"Then the rest is up to Master and the disciples at the Magic Temple." Ji Ru Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, as Chang Siming and the Magic Temple’s disciples began poring over ancient texts.
hours, every minute and second passed.
Everyone was caught in anxious anticipation, and the eight Blood Stars in the sky moved ever closer.
"Yun Sheng, if we fail to find a way to stop the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, would Gu Feng be in danger?" Donghuang Lingling appeared visibly tense.
Though dressed in Empress’s attire, worry and fear flashed in Donghuang Lingling’s eyes.
She could never forget the scene of parting with Gu Feng, and if the Dutian Blood Seal collapses entirely, Gu Feng, who had become one with it, would undoubtedly...
Donghuang Lingling dared not dwell on it.
"Nothing will happen. We held firm last time, and we shall not fail this time either." Yun Sheng looked at the eight Blood Stars in the sky, speaking with resolute conviction.
