Chapter 678: Evil Ritual, the Seal Loosens

"The moment has finally arrived." A frenzied light flickered in Xue Wutian's eyes.

"The wait of tens of thousands of years is about to end, the great Demon God is about to return to the Human Realm!"

He slowly poured a large amount of souls and essence blood absorbed within the Soul-Devouring Demon Bead into a deep pit at the center of the altar.

This deep pit was bottomless, as if it were an entrance leading to hell.

When the fresh blood and soul power touched the deep pit, it immediately emitted a "hissing" sound, as if being greedily devoured by something.

Bursts of terrifying roars emanated from the bottom of the deep pit; that sound was unlike anything any known creature could produce.

Low, tyrannical, and filled with hatred and killing intent toward this world.

This deep pit was precisely the place where the Yuan Gu Moshen was sealed.

After tens of thousands of years, the powerful Seal set by the Primordial God Monarch had become loose.

Through the evil power provided by the Soul-Devouring Demon Bead, Xue Wutian was weakening the strength of the Seal bit by bit.

"Roar!!!"

A clearer roar emanated from the deep pit, and the entire underground palace trembled violently.

The other Demonic Cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect surrounded the altar, each of them wearing a fanatical expression on their face.

They chanted ancient incantations; these incantations came from the ancient era and were evil methods specifically used to weaken the Seal.

"Oh great Demon God, your loyal servant is here to summon your return!"

"This damned world betrayed us, now is the time for revenge!"

"Let those hypocrites who claim to be the righteous path taste the flavor of despair!"

The voices of the Demonic Cultivators converged, forming a powerful force of evil.

This force merged with the energy of the Soul-Devouring Demon Bead, continuously striking at the weak points of the Seal.

As the ritual progressed, tiny cracks began to appear on the Seal.

Although these cracks were insignificant, to the Demon God trapped for tens of thousands of years, they were the dawn of hope.

A wisp of black aura seeped out from the cracks; that was the power of pure evil and destruction.

Anything that touched this aura would instantly corrode and turn into dust.

"Very good, very good!" Xue Wutian laughed excitedly.

"The Seal is indeed loosening! If we continue, it won't take long before we can completely destroy it!"

His ultimate goal was not just revenge, but to release the Yuan Gu Moshen and then cooperate with the Demon God to rule the entire Immortal cultivation world.

In Xue Wutian's plan, once the Demon God awakened, the current landscape of the Immortal cultivation world would be completely changed.

Those high and mighty righteous sects would be reduced to slaves, and he, Xue Wutian, would become the master of the new world.

At the same time, strange phenomena began to appear throughout the Upper Realm.

The originally azure sky often showed blood-red clouds; these clouds had strange shapes, looking just like giant skulls floating in the air.

The earth also experienced inexplicable tremors from time to time, and sometimes cracks would even appear.

The aura seeping from the cracks caused surrounding plants to wither and animals to flee.

Various demonic beasts also became restless; they instinctively felt that some kind of terrifying threat was approaching.

Many low-level demonic beasts even fled desperately toward places far from the center of the phenomenon.

Jian Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Sect was healing his wounds when he suddenly felt a palpitation.

He pushed open the door and saw the blood-red clouds in the sky, his brows furrowed tightly.

"This kind of phenomenon... it doesn't look like it was formed naturally."

"Could it be that some evil force is at work?"

Wu Yuanzi of the Five Elements Sect had the same feeling.

He summoned the remaining Elders to hold a meeting to discuss this issue.

"Sect Master, the phenomena these past few days have become more and more frequent," one Elder said with deep concern.

"I am worried that something major is about to happen."

Wu Yuanzi nodded and said, "I have this premonition as well."

"But our vitality is severely damaged now, so even if we want to investigate, we lack the strength."

The situation at the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple was similar; although Abbot Fahui noticed the abnormality, he could not determine the specific cause.

Some seniors with profound cultivation felt an ominous omen, but they did not know what exactly was happening.

Under these circumstances, the major righteous sects were still arguing endlessly about the matter of Lin Xuan.

Some sects advocated continuing to hunt down Lin Xuan, while others believed they should first investigate the cause of the phenomena.

Internal disagreements made them unable to take unified action, and they were completely unaware that a greater crisis was quietly descending.

Xuantianzi of the Tianmen was one of the few who realized the severity of the abnormality.

As an expert proficient in the art of divination, he felt the changes in the heavenly secrets more sensitively than others.

"Wrong, very wrong." Xuantianzi sat cross-legged in front of the divination platform, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He had just performed a divination, and the result made his heart tremble with fear.

The hexagram showed that the heavenly secrets were chaotic, and it seemed that something terrifying was about to awaken.

Moreover, the threat level of this thing far exceeded Lin Xuan's bloodline loss of control.

"If the hexagram is true, the entire Immortal cultivation world will face an unprecedented crisis."

Xuantianzi immediately summoned his disciples.

"Pass on my order: dispatch all disciples capable of movement to scout for information everywhere."

"Focus on investigating the areas where phenomena have recently appeared; you must find the root cause."

"Remember, this matter concerns the survival of the entire Immortal cultivation world; you must not take it lightly."

Although the disciples did not quite understand why their master was so nervous, they still obeyed the order.

However, the Blood Demon Sect's movements were extremely secretive, and the location they chose for their base was very remote, making it difficult to discover in a short period of time.

Moreover, Xue Wutian had long since set up layers of barriers, which ordinary investigative methods could not penetrate at all.

Inside the Blood Demon Sect's secret base, the evil ritual was still underway.

Watching the increasing number of cracks on the Seal, Xue Wutian was filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Three more days, three days at most!" he laughed wildly.

"The great Demon God will be able to see the light of day again!"

"By then, this hypocritical world of cultivation will be completely changed!"

"Those hypocrites of the righteous path will pay the price for their stupidity!"

The roaring sound from the deep pit became clearer and clearer, as if some gargantuan creature were awakening.

The cracks in the Seal were also constantly expanding, and the evil aura seeping from them grew increasingly intense.

The entire underground palace was shrouded in this aura, and even those powerful Demonic Cultivators felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But Xue Wutian was exceptionally excited; he knew this was a sign that the Demon God was about to awaken.

Once the Demon God fully awakens, the landscape of the entire world of cultivation will be completely rewritten.

By then, he, Xue Wutian, will become the ruler of the new world, and those who once looked down on the Blood Demon Sect will all kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.

"Hahahaha!" Xue Wutian's laughter echoed through the underground palace.

"It will be soon, soon all of this will become reality!"

He knew that once the Demon God awakens, the landscape of the entire world of cultivation will be completely rewritten, and he too will become the ruler of the new world.
