CHAPTER 2549: CHAPTER 2547: SAINT ENTERING THE PATH OF DEMON

A leisurely Taoist title, the voice clear and solemn like a Sanskrit chant.

This sound seemed to come from the depths of a distant Void, like a rolling golden bell, reverberating between Heaven and Earth, causing one’s heart and mind to waver.

As the voice of Mysterious grew louder, the air seemed to solidify, a murderous aura spread forth.

The sound waves, like blades, slashed through the Void, cutting through all obstacles on their path.

Ethan Smith felt his heart and soul tremble, the voice resounding as if from the depths of his inner being.

Each word interrogated his soul.

Walk to the end, look back, reflect on one’s initial resolve, return to innocence.

Look back! Reflect on one’s initial resolve!

Even just by being influenced, Ethan Smith had a strong desire for introspection.

Have I worked hard all these years, why am I still so inadequate now, unable to defeat even a Saint?

"I’m guilty! I peeked at Madam Li from the sect taking a bath! And even went further!"

Caelan Russell, whose mental strength was rather poor, broke down crying on the ground!

"Isn’t Madam Li nearly four thousand years old, and her looks aren’t even nauseating, just that her hips are a bit wide... never thought you had this fetish..."

Marc was speechless beside him, while both West Hill and Renee Will looked on with disdain.

"What a terrifying Taoist interrogative sound, can this awaken the half-Hominini, half-Semi-Saint Ziyang Saint?"

Ethan Smith frowned as he watched the Ziyang Saint floating unpredictably in the air, feeling uneasy.

"If it were the Ziyang Saint, it would definitely be impossible. But at this moment Ziyang Uncle Master is probably at his lowest, now being restrained between half-human and half-demon, his power at this moment shouldn’t exceed the sixth rank, otherwise Lord Xeno Johnson couldn’t possibly fail to spy his aura."

The aura of a Saint is like the bright moon in the sky, unable to be hidden for long by any means.

Mysterious Heart’s face also showed uncertainty, for this was indeed a Saint, with all sorts of changes possible. He hesitated for a moment and continued speaking.

"And for such a long time, no one has been able to detect the aura of the Ziyang Saint, this must mean his realm has dropped, his Divine Soul is likely in extreme weakness right now, maybe junior brother Mysterious can awaken the human power within uncle’s Divine Soul."

"Let’s hope so! But I fear it won’t be that easy, now the Ziyang Saint’s body has already been overtaken 80% by the demonic form."

Ethan Smith looked worriedly at the demonic body, what event could cause a Saint to lose heart, get invaded by the Power of Darkness in the Misty Forest?

In that Void, suddenly a divine thunder struck, a familiar aura emanated from the sky.

The universe seemed swallowed by darkness in an instant, an indescribable dark energy emerged from the Void.

This darkness was exceedingly dense, like an endless abyss, exuding a desire to devour all.

The dark energy instantly spread throughout the entire Heaven and Earth, permeating every corner, enveloping everything within.

It transcended all understanding, without shape or mass, yet carried an overwhelming sense of oppression and terrifying power.

Although the same color as the night, everyone could feel its dreadful waves.

In the face of this power, the darkness-covered range was boundless, rendering stars and life insignificant before it.

"Sacrificial Power! Such an exaggerated sacrificial force, this is even more extreme than the sacrificial power encountered on the Lone Shadow Continent before!"

Ethan Smith’s body almost started trembling, considering the previous sacrificial power used by the Demon clan to sacrifice Hominini on the Lone Shadow Continent was about four hundred million, this time this divine thunder was converged with sacrificial powers from unknown how many planes.

This divine thunder seemed to be condensed with sacrificial power from countless planes, at the moment this divine thunder struck.

The half-rotten body of Ziyang began undergoing a dramatic transformation. The demonic sacrificial power surged into his body.

In that instant, a black and red flame burst from one of his wings, wrapping the body within.

As the flames danced, the rotten skin and pus slowly crusted over.

The surrounding sacrificial power raged like a storm around Ziyang.

The demonic energy containing the utmost Power of Heavenly Path surged into Ziyang Saint’s body from all directions, penetrating every inch of skin.

His half-rotten demonic body rapidly swelled, muscles bulging, veins popping, becoming strong and fearsome like an Evil Ghost.

His other eye began to bloodshot, the pupil expanding, appearing deep black or scarlet red.

This demonic light exuded a wild and evil aura, causing involuntary shudders.

Boom!

When that gaze fell on Mysterious, at that instant Mysterious was as if severely injured.

His entire body crashed heavily to the ground, left as faint as smoke.

Where his body lay, a sachet suddenly shattered into pieces on the ground.

"This is the protective Heavenly Astral given by Senior Brother, it can protect against an attack at Crossing Tribulation Peak, yet just an eye’s power shattered this magical artifact, gravely injuring Mysterious."

At this moment, everyone fell silent.

The six people who initially hoped Ziyang could return to a Hominini form were completely disheartened.

This kind of power had already surpassed the limits of what they could handle.

"Ethan Smith, my friend, later I’ll see if I can hold for a breath or two, your Glass Saint Body might have a slight chance to escape! Sorry for involving you."

Mysterious Heart showed a trace of apology,

They only came to seek the legacy left by Ziyang Saint, inviting Ethan Smith merely to increase the chances of success, yet didn’t expect the Saint had not fallen, and had in fact completely entered the path of demon, impossible to awaken.

Ethan Smith helped Mysterious up, channeling a stream of pure spiritual energy from the Heart of the Ocean into his body, stabilizing his vitality.

Mysterious slowly opened his eyes, his gaze extremely dim, his lips moved several times, ultimately no sound was made.

Ethan Smith sighed, this feeling was the manifestation of a collapsing faith.

Perhaps the Ziyang Saint, in Mysterious’s heart, was an imposing mountain of belief.

Now that the mountain had collapsed, the impact on him was indescribable.

In just a few breaths of time, the enormous and indescribable Demonic Heavenly Path’s sacrificial power had completely entered the body of Ziyang Saint.

As he slowly stood up, his aura surged skyward like a blade.

The entire Misty Forest suddenly fell into dead silence, as if welcoming the return of a Saint.

At this moment, Ethan Smith’s final strand of hope vanished completely.

The demonic heavenly path could inject such terrifying sacrificial power into the body of Ziyang Saint, signifying his path to demon was irrevocable, otherwise, the Demonic Heavenly Path wouldn’t waste such appalling sacrificial power.

This sacrificial power was more than enough to refine another Eight-winged Demon Clan Army, previously Dudley Lynch had merely obtained less than a quarter of the power, yet transformed into the Demon clan’s fallen Godly King.
