Chapter 252: Chapter 42: Flame God Palace’s Counterattack
Dong Fangyu was inwardly surprised. He could only see the Dark Blue Array slowly rotating, but he couldn’t make out what was happening inside the bamboo cottage.
’What Secret Technique is Third Aunt practicing?’
If Fang Cheng had been there, he would have instantly recognized the Secret Technique Dong Baishuang was cultivating.
It was none other than the legacy of the Demon Buddha: the Li Hen Demon Light!
Inside the bamboo cottage, a pure black flame materialized from the void and coiled around Dong Baishuang.
Meanwhile, within her Sea of Consciousness, a demonic will spread like spilled ink.
Dong Baishuang’s expression remained placid as she allowed the demonic will to corrupt her soul and the Li Hen Demon Light to flood her body.
Demon Path Cultivation Methods were known to attract the attention of Celestial Demons. Cultivating them by force, without any supportive aids, made one highly susceptible to cultivation deviation.
Yet in Dong Baishuang’s case, she seemed to be actively welcoming the will of the Resentment Celestial Demon, allowing it to corrupt her completely.
No one knew that decades ago, this Elder of the Dong Family had already been transformed into a Demon Dao avatar!
...
One of the Yinluo Sect’s three great forbidden grounds, the Earth Abyss.
On the third level of the Earth Abyss, within a massive pit, an endless Demon Fog suddenly began to form, surging upward.
The Wo Yun Peak Elder guarding the edge of the great pit was instantly alerted and hastily sent out a signal.
Above the great pit, the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array flared to life with a vast light, now fully activated.
The Grand Array activated, containing the Demon Fog.
But from the bottom of the great pit, innumerable, densely-packed aberrant demons charged forth, rushing toward the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
The Wo Yun Peak Elder cried out in horror, "How long has it been? Another Demon Tide is here already? Quick, request reinforcements from Celestial City Peak!"
...
Atop a majestic snow mountain on the West Shore of the Abyssal Marsh.
A flash of fire suddenly appeared above the snow mountain, then hung suspended in the air.
The fiery light intensified, transforming into a massive fireball that churned restlessly in the sky.
From within the fiery light, a colossal tree slowly rose, its canopy reaching for the heavens.
This colossal tree, over a hundred feet thick and soaring thousands of feet high, grew in solitude from the heart of the flame, its canopy spreading like a dome and its fiery leaves blazing with a magnificent glow.
From a distance, the canopy looked like a blazing sun.
A majestic Celestial Palace hung beneath the canopy. Though silent, it exuded an aura that seemed to command heaven and earth, compelling an urge to prostrate and worship.
Inside the Celestial Palace, the floor, paved with Red Gold, was smooth, level, and spotless.
In the center of the floor, a fiery-red Great Sun Totem was vividly lifelike, radiating intense heat.
A middle-aged man in a magnificent golden robe sat cross-legged in the center of the totem. His body surged with vast Magical Power, which circulated like a tide.
The man was as still as a mountain, his eyes slightly closed.
Behind him, dozens of Cultivators in the Flame God Palace’s Fire Cloud Robes stood silently, scarcely daring to breathe.
These Cultivators all had Life Talisman Cultivation. Among them were ten Profound Elders at the Mid-Life Talisman Stage and three Earth Elders at the Late-Life Talisman Stage.
And the leader, the middle-aged man in the golden robe, was one of the two Celestial Elders of the Flame God Palace, Xu Tianci!
Among the crowd, Ren Yan, dressed as a scholar, seemed out of place.
He stood leisurely in a corner of the grand hall, leaning against a bronze pillar with his eyes closed in rest.
Everyone was waiting for the right moment.
...
Yinluo Island, Demon Lion Peak, Canglan Cave.
Inside the Quiet Chamber, the Water Cloud Bead hovered silently in the air, shimmering with a gentle, treasured light.
Inside the bead, within a magnificent cabin on a painted pleasure boat.
Fang Cheng lay on his back, arms comfortably behind his head.
He leisurely admired Mu Xuanyu’s alluring expression as she bit her lip, her eyes squeezed shut.
This beautiful Elder from the Flame God Palace had her brows furrowed and her lips bitten, her whole body slick with sweat.
Sometimes kneeling, sometimes prone, sometimes sitting.
She fully displayed the supple and alluring charm of a mature Female Cultivator.
For her, these had been three incredibly fulfilling days.
Fang Cheng felt the time was ripe. It wouldn’t be long before he could completely conquer this beautiful woman’s body and mind. Once he did, prying the Profound Fire Record from her lips would be a simple matter.
However, at this critical moment, amidst the clothes scattered beneath the bed, the Identity Token from the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly flared with a brilliant light and floated up.
...
