Chapter 485: Darkness Placement Ritual

"Is it David? He actually hasn't died yet?"

Fang Qiong heard this voice, and her face changed drastically.

"No, he has already died... or rather, survived in the form of an evil spirit."

Fang Xing shook his head, took Fang Qiong and jumped lightly, and came to the rooftop of a skyscraper.

Looking from a height, he could just see a group of "Worm Forest" extraordinary beings besieging an evil spirit.

At this time, accompanied by that roar, or declaration, the evil spirit suddenly expanded, turning into a sludge giant tens of meters high.

Countless pitch-black sludge covered the giant's whole body, even vaguely revealing faces that were twisted and ferocious, bringing extreme corrosion, fall, and darkness...

"The evil spirit of a Darkness Path Angel is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Blaspheming the brilliance of gods, becoming the secret of an Angel... belongs to our Worm Forest."

Oliver held a relic in both hands, looking closely, it seemed to be the skin of some kind of insect, carrying a kind of illusory sense of history.

And around him, one extraordinary being after another was chanting strange spells, and even cutting their own wrists, letting blood flow into several ritual tracks on the ground.

Swish swish!

The sound of huge insects crawling across the ground sounded.

History at this moment seemed to turn into book pages, and a huge worm was biting through page after page of history books, finally descending into this secret realm!

——Secret History Worm!

This strange giant worm was dark yellow all over, its skin exuding a luster similar to parchment, and also had the wrinkles of papyrus, its body was tens of meters long, rushing toward the pitch-black giant.

Bang bang!

Two huge things collided together, the shock waves causing the nearby skyscrapers to collapse one by one.

"These are all treasures of the Gulan period..."

Fang Qiong saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel heartache: "The technology of the Gulan period was more developed than it is now... they are destroying ancient cultural relics, this is a crime!"

"Don't worry about these now..."

Fang Xing looked up, and saw that the black mud giant was actually retreating steadily, clearly not the opponent of the Secret History Worm.

Crack!

Suddenly, the head of the Secret History Worm split open, revealing countless sharp fangs.

Its big mouth closed fiercely, biting off the head and most of the shoulders of the black mud giant.

Whoosh whoosh!

The black mud giant exploded, countless black mud splashing in all directions, carrying an unspeakable fallen aura.

Several extraordinary beings of the Worm Forest who couldn't dodge were splashed by the black mud, their extraordinary protection instantly pierced, letting out screams.

After the black mud giant collapsed, only a somewhat confused human spirit remained in place.

He was about 1.7 meters tall, with golden hair, scarlet eyes, handsome features, and a somewhat blank expression: "I... I am a God-Defiler, I blasphemed the divine brilliance... but I still died... I have sinned..."

On the surface of this confused spirit, there were also strange wounds, seemingly branded, always branded on the spirit, never healing.

"David, hand over the secret of your blasphemy against the gods... otherwise, even your evil spirit will be completely annihilated."

Oliver stepped forward, holding a relic, with a look of victory in his eyes.

As an evil spirit, it was originally relatively weak, certainly not as good as a true Angel.

Now that it had been severely damaged by the Secret History Worm, he, an Immortal, could easily take it down.

"I..."

After humans die, under the influence of Aether power, it is possible to become a grudge spirit, evil spirit...

But becoming this kind of spirit actually means that a new life carrying part of the most intense emotions and memories is born on the original body, strictly speaking, it is already a different person from the original body.

David's evil spirit had a blank look, and after being severely damaged, a most profound memory emerged: "Woo woo woo... I am not a God-Defiler, I am just a poor worm... I thought I blasphemed the divine brilliance, but actually... everything was the arrangement of the Darkness God... He deliberately let me become an Angel, my life, my destiny, everything of mine... was all arranged by the gods..."

"What?"

Such a "Secret History" instantly made Oliver's face change drastically!

Didn't he painstakingly search for the tomb of the God-Defiler to obtain the other party's inheritance and ascend to an unrestricted Angel?

As a result, now he was told that the dream was shattered, and the God

An unrestricted angel simply does not exist!

This cruelty of an ideal collapsing was an even more brutal blow to an old man like him, who had lived for several hundred years and whose family and friends were almost all dead.

After all, the immortal only had his dreams left; now that the dreams were shattered, what else was there?

"Haha... so everything was fake?"

"Everything is a lie, deceiving the world and causing it to fall into depravity?"

Orivis laughed heartily.

Cracks appeared on his body, as if he were made of porcelain.

The surging 'History' ether transformed into a wind of decay, blowing fiercely through the surroundings. "Ah!"

Amidst the screams, the nearby extraordinary beings of the Worm Forest shrieked, as if thousands of years of time had been plundered from them, and they fell to the ground, turning directly into dried corpses.

Not only that!

Those surging 'History' ethers were rapidly turning dark... as if they were falling into depravity.

"The Orbit-Shifting Ritual!"

An Enlightened One shouted while fleeing: "And the 'Dark-Placement Ritual'... Lord Orivis has gone mad... he is turning toward the Dark Path!"

Once an extraordinary being chooses a path, they cannot change it!

But this iron rule of the hidden world actually has loopholes and room for maneuver.

When encountering extremely special circumstances, changes can still occur, but it is very dangerous, and even if successful, there are great sequelae.

It only happens at some extremely special moments.

"Haha... God of the Dark Path... you deceive the world, preach depravity... and even use Dai Wei as a trap; is it to make me fall?"

Orivis, his whole body shrouded in black energy, suddenly tore open the holy relic that was the 'Worm Skin': "Then... let's fall... since I cannot become a free and unfettered angel, then I shall become an angel of the Dark Path... I sacrifice the Secret History Worm, I sacrifice the spirit of Dai Wei, I sacrifice everything I have..."

Clatter!

The pages of the Secret History book were flipped open, and that Secret History Worm crawled out once again.

But this time, as soon as it crawled out, it was entangled by black tentacles extending from the ritual, and it let out a hiss.

Dai Wei's spirit body, however, stared blankly at all this, showing little emotional fluctuation even when treated as a sacrifice.

"Ah... this is the conspiracy of the Dark Path deity—the 'Shadow of the Plundering Crow'!"

The Enlightened One who had luckily escaped a certain distance suddenly realized: "He wants Lord Orivis to fall and make us sacrifice the Secret History Worm... My Lord, you cannot turn to the Dark Path..."

Unfortunately, his shouting was of no use.

Orivis had already turned into a shadow, directly tearing through the back of the Secret History Worm and crawling inside.

The Secret History Worm roared and rolled... this creature, most beloved by the God of the History Path, was turning pitch black all over, and a face emerged on its chaotic head—it was exactly the features of Orivis!

This immortal of the History Path, through the changes of the ritual, was about to become an angel of the Dark Path—a Dark Worm!

A flash appeared before the eyes of the fleeing Enlightened One, and suddenly two more people appeared.

He looked dazed, and was suddenly pressed down by a palm full of steam, then his vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

Fang Xing casually dealt with the small fry, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the scene not far away: "Did you... understand?"

"To ascend to angelhood, one must obtain the promotion of a certain deity... so Orivis's fall was under the gaze of that Dark deity?"

Fang Qiong thought for a moment and answered thus.

"Hmm... and, the ascension of an angel requires a bit of the deity's essence... Orivis plundered the essence of the Secret History Worm... this History angel had already been tainted by the fallen Dai Wei during their great battle, and now it has been tricked by the summoner... the key is still the gaze of the deity, which makes it impossible to escape this trap."

Fang Xing nodded: "However... the essence of this 'Dark Worm' is not bad; if we take it, it could become the key for you to ascend to the angel rank in the future."

"I never thought about ascending to angelhood... besides, to ascend, one must obtain the permission of a deity."

Fang Qiong shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, my permission is enough."

Fang Xing laughed: "The Secret History Worm being killed is the conspiracy of that Shadow of the Plundering Crow... and through such a ritual full of symbolic meaning, He might also obtain certain benefits, gaining an advantage in the competition with the God of the History Path."

An immortal of 'History' betraying the angelhood is in itself a form of depravity!

In the struggles of deities, the most important things are various symbols!

Mastering this symbol of betrayal will naturally allow the Dark deity to gain a certain advantage in the battle against the History deity; after all, Dark inherently represents depravity and betrayal!

But for Fang Xing, the most critical thing was not these!

"Coming here on a whim this time was truly worth more than the price; it wasn't just witnessing a major event in the hidden world... but seeing the mutual transformation between the six great ether elements."

Fang Xing felt somewhat excited in his heart.

Since History can be transformed into Dark, then Heart, Blood, Stone, and Machine should also be able to transform into each other.

'Does this prove that above the six great ethers, there is an even more essential element...'

'Placed in this world, it should be the status of the God above Gods, the Creator... I should occupy this, and the Creator will have absolutely no way to survive.'

In light contemplation, Fang Xing took a step forward and arrived opposite the Dark Worm.

In an instant, he seemed to split into six, each performing different Esoteric martial arts!

Turbine Steam-Pressure Palm!

Formless Dark Hand!

Magic Illusion Fist!

Stone Statue Art!

Vajra Pestle Divine Art!

Past Palm!

The six Esoteric martial arts turned into fists, palms, and footprints, each carrying an incomparably strong martial will, bombarding the Dark Worm.

It looked as if that pitch-black worm with a human face was being besieged by six Esoteric martial giants.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream from Orivis, the Dark Worm was grabbed by the six giants and torn apart alive, countless black juices flowed out, and amidst the mud and black liquid full of depravity, a pitch-black crystal-like object shimmered brightly...
