Chapter 274: Chapter 168: Ruijia’s Peril of Nation Destruction
Sigh. In this month of Death and destruction, Lu Cang really didn’t want to stir up any trouble.
But Izparut was insistent on testing the abilities of this Source of Calamity, and Lu Cang simply couldn’t dissuade him.
So, they found a random, desolate wilderness.
He released the Source of Calamity from the Little Nether Realm.
The Source of Calamity swam through the sky, but under Lu Cang’s deliberate control, it no longer triggered disasters on heaven and earth.
It only continuously gathered the tide of Demons toward its location.
Demons also began to manifest.
Furthermore, under the influence of the Source of Calamity, the Demons no longer manifested outside their line of sight.
Instead, they appeared directly under everyone’s noses.
They watched as one Demon after another instantly took form out of thin air.
"So this is how they’re generated..."
This was the first time Iz had personally witnessed the process of a Demon’s creation.
Normally, Demons would never appear in a place that was being observed.
Why did observation affect the manifestation of Demons?
Did the Demon tides intentionally avoid the gazes of intelligent life? This was a question explored by countless White Tower Scholars.
And to this day, there was still no definitive answer.
Or perhaps, the answer was simply not meant for ordinary people to know.
SHWISH!
Tier Two, Tier Three, and Tier Four Dungeons also formed in succession.
Iz raised one hand, forming a colorful sphere in his palm.
He tossed it out casually.
The colorful sphere split in mid-air and shot toward the Dungeons that had formed.
BOOM—
A faint light could be seen coming from the Dungeon’s entrance after the sphere fell into it.
After a dozen or so seconds, the entire entrance collapsed.
’You can... deal with Dungeons like that?’
Lu Cang had been thinking that with so many Low Tier Dungeons appearing, it would be a real pain to clear them one by one.
Now it seemed it might not be as much trouble as he’d thought.
"Lu Cang, go ahead and set up that Ritual to gather the Demon tide."
The tide of Demons was already growing denser and denser.
Lu Cang looked up at Iz and said, "It’ll attract a really dense tide of Demons, you know."
Iz laughed with arrogant confidence. "Haha, let them come! I’d like to see exactly what kind of Demon can get past me."
’Fine. Since you put it that way.’
Lu Cang then poured out the Blood of Evil Demons on the spot, controlling the liquid and, with extreme proficiency, finishing the Ritual Array in three seconds.
"By the way, Iz, I also recently learned a Ritual that makes the Demon tide form only High Tier Demons."
"Want to use that one as well?"
Kumironi watched from the side...
’Is this... really not a Cult?’
’Who exactly has mastered the Source of Calamity, commands a Ritual to gather Demons, and is also the Sect Leader of the Death Church?’
’Speaking of which, Little Lu Cang, haven’t you mastered a few too many evil Rituals?’
’Why are you already so proficient at drawing this evil Ritual to gather the tide of Demons?’
’Just how many other evil Rituals have you learned?’
’It feels like the only difference now between Lu Cang and a true Sect Leader of the Death Church is whether he’ll perform the final Sacrifice to summon the advent of Bai.’
’In every other respect, hasn’t he already surpassed the previous Sect Leader?’
Kumironi vaguely recalled that he was a High Priest of the Orthodoxy...
Why had the child he raised turned out like this?
Iz said, "Oh? There’s a Ritual like that? In that case, use them both."
Lu Cang expertly took out Bone Powder, a viscous Potion, and the flesh and blood of a High Tier Demon... In less than five seconds, he had set up the "Great Summoning Ritual."
WHOOSH!
With the Sacrifice of a soul, this place became the eye of a hurricane, and the Demon tide surged in!
Soon, the Demon tide in the area rose from Tier Five to Tier Six! It grew so dense it was almost tangible; perhaps even an ordinary person could have seen such a thick tide of Demons with the naked eye.
The Great Summoning Ritual diffused a faint gray mist. Within it, powerful Demons began to coalesce from the tide, one after another.
There they were!
Tier Six King Level Demons, born out in the wild!
In this wide-open clearing, they all charged in one direction: toward Lu Cang and the other two.
"Not bad at all!"
Iz fearlessly raised his hand!
But Lu Cang stopped him.
"Master Iz."
"Hm?"
"Please take care of any Demons that might escape. Leave the rest to me."
Iz replied magnanimously, "Alright, they’re all yours."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Iz lowered his hand and lightly traced a circle with his finger.
BOOM!
A world-immolating fire shot into the sky, forming a gigantic, hemispherical Flame Shield that trapped the Demons inside.
Lu Cang looked out.
He could only see the boundary of the Flame Shield at the very edge of his vision.
Gazing up at the entire sky, all he could see was a vast expanse of raging Flame.
He had no idea how many tens of thousands of kilometers this Magic covered...
’Iz, are you overestimating me a little?’
’Do you really think I can kill every Demon inside this Flame Shield?’
’Surely you weren’t so rattled by Kumironi that you’re trying to show off in front of your apprentice, right?’
Lu Cang let out a soft sigh.
The next instant, he slipped off his outer Magic Robe, revealing a Cloak covered in countless swiveling eyes.
SHWISH!
In another flash,
Lu Cang was already holding the Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear, perched atop the head of a faceless Demon.
A Spinal Demon, faceless type. It lacked sight, hearing, and smell, but its Perception and sense of touch were exceptionally keen, allowing it to pinpoint enemies through minute vibrations in the air. It had two well-muscled arms, which meant its reaction Speed was extremely fast.
Its skin was thick and tough. The weak point was the back of its neck where the skin was thinnest. Its structure was similar to a human’s, with the spine acting as the central pillar of its body. Its skin was sensitive to cold, making it weak to Ice. Electricity caused its muscles to tense uncontrollably, making it weak to Thunder.
