Chapter 246

The male and female leads in the book seemed to have turned into people single-mindedly devoted to their ambitions.

It was a strange feeling.

Si Yaoxie's soul had vanished completely.

The four elders of Heavenly Sound stopped chanting the sutras. One by one, they pressed their palms together and fingered their prayer beads.

The four guardians inside the Formation had grown so faint that they would soon disappear from this world.

Demon Realm.

Masses of black clouds rolled across the dim sky. Dark-red layers showed faintly within them, as though soaked in blood.

Their light fell across the earth, staining the whole world a red darker than blood.

The Demon Venerable's hall stood on a mountain backed by sheer cliffs.

The grand, solemn building looked out of place in the ruined, gloomy Demon Realm.

Just then, a bolt of red lightning struck from the sky, twisting the rolling clouds into a vortex.

A man cleaning blood from the palace floor looked up. At the sight of the vortex, a smile spread across his face.

He grinned, revealing several teeth that jutted out in sharp points unlike any human's.

"The Demon Venerable's soul has returned!"

"The Demon Venerable's soul has returned!"

The man shrieked with ecstatic laughter.

Soon, powerful members of the Devil Race, each stranger-looking than the last, appeared throughout the vast hall.

Some had bull horns. Others had lower bodies like stunted, withered skeletons. Still others wore no clothes, their bodies covered head to toe in thick blood...

The place looked more like hell.

The powerful devils strode heavily into the Main Hall.

At its highest point stood an empty chair.

The sight of it filled them with fear. They stopped one after another and gazed toward it with utmost respect, not daring to relax for an instant.
