The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1202 - 459: Resurrected "Demon God" _3

"It’s too terrifying... This is too terrifying; I am indeed the most unfortunate Primordial Sleep Demon, without a doubt..."

Kuku Da did not, like the other Primeval Demon Race members, rush towards the shadowy figure.

But her mind was clearly also in disarray, squatting on the ground clutching her head, both crying and laughing foolishly.

"Ugh, the second-order of the Sloth group has not arrived; what a significant oversight."

"What truly surprises me, however, is you all."

The monstrous shadow turned around, its dark and hollow pupils fixed on Yuwen Nai and Aegifura, laughing grimly,

"What a proud King of Arrogance, what a passionate King of Lust, to think that you’ve both received the true teachings of the Seven Sins, exceeds my expectations."

"The insignificant Seven Sins, not only befuddling me before death but continuing to cause trouble after it, such painstaking efforts, for what? Do you really think you can stop me?"

The monstrous shadow threw back its head and laughed boisterously, the sacred fluctuations in the air suddenly reversed.

It floated up, suddenly transforming mid-air, all traces of its humanoid and demonic parts disappeared, turning into an irregular spherical being, shaking the void and creating terrifying ripples.

"Boom!!"

The altar trembled and completely shattered.

The surrounding walls and passageways, likewise, cracked in an instant.

At that moment, time seemed to press the pause button.

Inside the decaying space, floating stones and stirred dust, all remained motionless.

Even Yuwen Nai, strong as a Half-Step Deity, found his flesh frozen, the only exception being a pair of golden pupils surging with divine light.

As for Aegifura, she was utterly unable to move, her life and death appearing to hang on the entity’s every whim.

"Why, isn’t this the Merciful Ancestor?"

"Two Cosmic Eras have passed in death, yet you still think to seal me away; how relentlessly diligent you are."

"However, at this moment, you surely have no power left, do you? Apart from watching helplessly as I come into this world, what can you do?"

The spherical being twitched slightly, the fleshy tissue resembling eyelids slowly opening.

At that instant, Ye Hanjun, who was also immobilized, seemed to glimpse an expansive starry sky, spanning the edge of the world.

It was boundless, without concepts of magnitude or duration.

And those stars twinkling with black light were not spherical, humanoid, beastly, or resembling objects... bizarre and varied.

—These were actually the corpses of various beings!

The largest of them were mountainous, sea-like, their ends not visible.

The smallest, seemingly unadorned, but from Ye Hanjun’s perspective, at least kings among Holy Beasts in life.

These corpses were all cracked, a sort of ineffable malevolent energy violently stitching them together, the light casting from the gaps was dim, sinister.

"Ah!"

A strong sensation of suffocation emerged in Ye Hanjun’s throat, and quickly this feeling reflected upon his soul.

In the brief one-thousandth of a second, his King Yan’s surrogate life activated continuously, the sense of impending death all too vivid.

"Sarus, do you truly wish to descend upon this world again?"

"Wouldn’t it be a grand fate to let dust return to dust, earth return to earth?"

A deep sigh, its origin unclear, wafted through the vicinity.

Ye Hanjun, amidst the endless starry sky of corpses, grasped it like a lifeline, seizing the chance to breathe.

He glanced backwards with the corner of his eye and saw a blurry old man, akin to a Ghostly Soul, confronting the eyeball from afar.

The old man’s breath was faint to the point of obscurity, more so than a firefly’s gleam.

But it was precisely because He floated there that Yuwen Nai, Aegifura, Aegi Mogo, Kuku Da... the surviving beings were not killed by the sight of the Divine.

"Hehe, from dust to dust, from earth to earth?"

"How dare you speak so presumptuously with your limited understanding of me?"

"In my heyday, which you all cannot even begin to comprehend."

"Being one of the strongest of that era, clear victor, yet to be expelled by a bunch of pretentious individuals, missing the supreme throne by a hair."

"This hatred, I shall never forget."

"Should a chance to return arise, I will seize it at any cost."

"Merciful, you may take pride in yourself, for a Crown Rank born in the Ancient Era, one man, one Divine, you have repeatedly put me in dire situations."

"Even though I am but a remnant, in terrible condition."

The wicked eye has never blinked, inspecting the Insects on the ground expressionlessly, it uttered what seemed to be praise,

"In fact, you could have delayed even longer."

"But the other half of me has already resurrected first, and even across endless world barriers, It can transfer power to me, guiding my resurrection."

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too weak."

"Also, these self-proclaimed acts of goodness, do you really think anyone will know? Moved by your conscience, I truly cannot comprehend."

"Sigh, differing views arise from differing stands..."

"All Heavens would soon be in chaos, with such a calamity like you being born into the world, countless beings will perish because of you..."

The Merciful Ancestor sighed deeply, his ancient face marked with sorrow and resignation,

"Blame me, if before my death I had not been tricked by your mind-altering evil Art, identifying the Seven Sins Demon God as your host and causing my essence to fall, the Seven Sins Demon God would also not have suffered such a sudden and confusing attack."

"I and It, had we joined forces, might have delivered a heavier blow to you, after all, this is Its realm to rule, the laws are more in tune with It..."

"Hahaha, maybe in your next life!"

The wicked eyeball let out a strange laugh, teeth even revealing themselves at the center, followed by a sharp and blood-tipped, deep black tongue, slowly extending out,

"Last time, I let the Seven Virtues go free just so that one day in the future I could catch them unawares."

"The Seven Sins sanctified sealing utensil has truly drawn all Its demon offspring here."

"Once I devour the bloodline of the Seven Sins, replenishing a portion of my life essence, and then refine all the beings in the Realm of Desire, this left eye of mine will surely return to its full glory!"
