Flesh Labyrinth, Blood Pool.
A Sacrificial Dagger was embedded in Mo Hua's chest as he lay upon the altar at the center of the Blood Pool.
A Blood Cocoon woven from threads of blood sealed him within.
Four Golden Core Demonic Cultivators stood around the Blood Pool.
One was a Bald Demon Cultivator, broad and powerfully built, with savage blood-red Tiger Patterns carved into his scalp. He was dipping a Decapitation Blade in bloodwater and honing it.
Of the other three Demonic Cultivators, one was tall and gaunt, apparently an Evil Array Master, drawing a blood-colored evil array.
The remaining two Demonic Cultivators were dissecting several enormous demons, piecing together a body of flesh.
As the Evil God awakened, a terrifying tremor swept through the air. Fear rose in the hearts of the four, followed by boundless awe and faith.
Their blood boiled, and their Divine Consciousness teetered on the edge of madness.
Then the Bald Demon Cultivator asked, "It's time, right?"
"Yes," the Evil Array Master said. "Following Mr. Tu's instructions, once the God Lord awakens and His majesty spreads through every corner of the Grand Array, cut off this brat's head. Soak it in the Blood Pool, and after the blood qi assimilates it, stitch it together with the body of a Karma Dragon demon..."
The Bald Demon Cultivator seemed unconcerned.
The Evil Array Master then said gravely:
"The beheading must be handled with the utmost caution. Use a Blood Sacrifice on the Decapitation Blade to sever his head, then use the Living Blood Array to preserve its vitality. We cannot let him truly die..."
The Bald Demon Cultivator grew impatient and said in a muffled voice, "Why make it so troublesome?"
The Evil Array Master sneered. "What do you know? Do you know who this brat is?
