The Black Armored Demon God

While the battle within the Soul Tomb continued, tens of millions of miles away, Undying Sea...

The calm and desolate surface of the Undying Sea stretches to the horizon, where seven pure black mountain peaks rise majestically.

These seven mountain peaks vaguely resemble human figures.

In particular, the one in the very center of the black mountain is depicted as a man clad in black armor and wielding a spear.

It's more accurate to call it a sculpture than a mountain peak.

Silver starlight fell from the sky. It was still daytime in the Tianyuan Realm, but in the sea area where the seven Divine Mountain were located, it seemed to be an eternal night.

These starlight rays, like water, converged and flowed into the central peak of the seven mountains.

Under the starlight, the mountain's texture and its shape, resembling a black-armored God of War, became increasingly clear.

These seven mountain peaks are the transformations of the Seven Demon Disciples from tens of millions of years ago.

Especially the mountain peak in the very center, if Yi Yun were here, he would recognize at a glance that the Black Armored Warrior holding the spear was the same Black Armored Warrior who fought against Lord Qingyang in the image left behind by the array God Descending Tower in the Empress Secret Realm seven years ago.

In the image left on the array plate, Lord Qingyang's astonishing sword strike gave Yi Yun many insights.

As for the Black Armored Warrior, although he was defeated by Lord Qingyang, his strength still left a very deep impression on Yi Yun.

On this day, a group of people dressed in black robes arrived in the sea surrounding the Black Armored Warrior Divine Mountain.

The robes worn by these people all had a blood moon symbol embroidered on the chest.

They are the Reincarnator of the Blood Moon, and also its highest level.

The leader among them has a flame-shaped radial scar on his forehead. He is the first Blood Moon, the Alliance Leader the Martial Arts Alliance, and the current de facto controller of the Blood Moon!

These thirteen people looked solemnly at the Black Armored Warrior who had now fully appeared before them.

"If this continues, the Black Armored Demon God will awaken soon..."

Looking at the mountain of Black Armored Demon God sculptures, a Reincarnator being spoke.

Tens of millions of years ago, the Seven Demon Disciples were sealed by Lord Qingyang. However, over such a long period of time, the power of heaven and earth, the light of the sun, moon and stars have been constantly eroding the seal. In particular, seven years ago, the Eye of Destruction, located under the Eternal Vortex, appeared. The throbbing of the Eye of Destruction accelerated the awakening of the Black Armored Demon God.

The awakening of the Black Armored Demon God was something the Blood Moon's higher-ups had planned long ago, and something they had been looking forward to, but... the time was not yet ripe.

"First, set up a grand formation to seal the power of the Black Armored Demon God, allowing him to slumber for a while longer..."

The man with the flame-shaped scar between his brows spoke. His words caused several Reincarnator, whose existence had lasted no more than a million years, to pause slightly in surprise. "Sealing the Black Armored Demon God Spiritual Sense? Why is that...?"

For so many years, Blood Moon has been lurking in the Tianyuan Realm, accumulating Yin energy and developing Reincarnator, all for this day. Now, it seems that the Black Armored Demon God is about to awaken. Once he awakens, the overall situation will be settled, and the Desolate Clan will have no chance against the Black Armored Demon God.

But now... the Alliance Leader has actually ordered that the Black Armored Demon God Spiritual Sense be temporarily sealed?

The people around the Alliance Leader all seemed to take the order for granted, showing no surprise whatsoever, which some of the Reincarnator found incomprehensible.

"If the Black Armored Demon God awakens, wouldn't that allow the Divine Lord to descend upon the world even faster?"

Some people couldn't help but ask, "Is Blood Moon an organization and a religion? And is the 'Divine Lord' referred to by the Blood Moon followers the 'God' in the Blood Moon religion?"

"Awakening?" The man with the flame scar shook his head, offering no explanation.

Beside the man with the flame scar, a gaunt man chuckled, "The Divine Lord has never broken the seal since ancient times. Tens of millions of years ago, he was sealed again by Jian Qingyang. It won't be so easy for the Divine Lord to fully awaken and break free of the seal."

"Besides... why should we invite a god to worship and willingly become his slaves?"

"Um?"

The gaunt man's words stunned everyone present.

What does this mean?

The gaunt man continued, "Our Blood Moon organization was established tens of millions of years ago by the Seven Demon Disciples. At that time, Blood Moon was established solely to fight against Jian Qingyang's Desolate Clan army."

"To put it bluntly, we Blood Moons are merely tools of the demonic followers. The Blood Moons of yesteryear were far more powerful than they are now, but after the war with the Desolate Clan and the passage of time, the Blood Moons have become what they are today. Only the Reincarnator and the Yin Sha have been able to continue through endless slumber..."

"Haven't you been tools enough? Now that the Eye of Destruction is sealed and the Seven Demon Disciples are asleep, do you want to awaken them and continue being their tools, or do you want to establish a new order and become the masters of this world yourselves?"

The gaunt man's words sent a shiver down the spines of the Reincarnator: "To become the ruler of this world?"

They hadn't thought that far ahead. In fact, if you think about it carefully, although the Blood Moon's purpose had continued for tens of millions of years, and they knew about the Blood Moon's past and mission, in the millions of years since their reincarnation, they had never heard the Blood Moon mention resurrecting the Seven Demon Disciples or letting the Divine Lord break free from the seal.

It seems that the Blood Moon's higher-ups have been ambitious for a long time.

Indeed, in the end, they were merely pawns manipulated tens of millions of years ago. The Eye of Destruction wasn't their savior, so why should they serve it?

"That seal..."

Some people asked with concern, unsure if the seal on the Eternal Vortex was secure. If the Divine Lord could awaken on his own, they would be in grave danger.

At this moment, the man with the flame scar spoke, "Tens of millions of years ago, the Seven Demon Disciples underestimated Jian Qingyang. Back then, the Divine Lord had just awakened, and his main body was still bound by the ancient seal. However, this attracted Jian Qingyang and that woman. They entered the Eternal Vortex together, dealing a heavy blow to the Divine Lord. Coupled with that ancient seal, it should have damaged the Divine Lord's mind... Seven years ago, the Divine Lord's projection appeared, merely due to the stimulation of the Empress Secret Realm opening, similar to an instinctive reaction..."

"Now is our chance. If there is a God in this world, it is enough for us to do it."

As the man with the flame scar spoke, a glint of ambition flashed in his eyes.

For tens of millions of years, after the Seven Demon Disciples slept and the Eye of Destruction was sealed, he took control of the Blood Moon. At that time, he never intended to resurrect the Seven Demon Disciples.

What he wants is unparalleled power and a position of absolute dominance!

Now, the time has come.

And this Black Armored Demon God, tempered by starlight over tens of millions of years and about to awaken, will become an important part of his plan.

To dominate this world, absolute power is required.

He did not want to resurrect the demon disciples, but rather to become a demon disciple himself, as powerful as the demon disciples of tens of millions of years ago.

He spent so much time cultivating and refining numerous Yin Fiends.

By leveraging the powerful soul of Yin Sha, and gathering the power of numerous Yin Sha entities to form a grand array, the Black Armored Demon God's incompletely awakened consciousness can be erased, thus making everything perfect.
