Chapter 376 - Song of the Dead
“What is this?”
The demons startled when they saw Zhong Yue taking out a little wood puppet, no one knew what it was. At the far side, Shura and the other seven saint clan grand ancestors looked at one another and none of them knew what it was, either.
In the Ancestral Star, there was a huge gap in between the records of history, one that was caused by a drastic event hundreds of thousand years ago, which also caused the records regarding the Demon God Contracted Puppet to be lost in history.
Even the eight demon gods that founded the eight saint clans didn’t know what a Demon God Contracted Puppet was and what use it had. Only the madman Feng Xiaozhong who dug the demon gods’ graves would know what it was.
However, Shura and the other former demon gods were incredibly experienced, they were cautious and the drinking they had done with Zhong Yue had made them stand aside and not participate in the mission of killing Zhong Yue.
“May the great senior descend!” Zhong Yue bowed and he said solemnly.
As he bowed and his soul entered the Demon God Contracted Puppet, the little puppet floated into the sky on its own as if there was an unknown force moving it up from another dimension!
The little Demon God Contracted Puppet linked the Void World and the real world together, it was the pathway for the slumbering demon spirit to come, for him to descend down from the evervoid to the material world.
A bizarre energy seeped through from the Void World, putting immense pressure on the demons and the dimension around the little Demon God Contracted Puppet was distorted, making the little wood puppet appear bigger.
This was the dimensional space overlapping another, the little wood puppet was not a single inch bigger but it was the dimensional spaces around it that were overlapping one another, magnifying the size of the Demon God Contracted Puppet, making it bigger and bigger.
If a ten foot dimensional space was distorted, the Demon God Contracted Puppet would look as if it was ten foot tall but if a thousand feet was distorted, then the little puppet would look as if it was a thousand feet tall.
Such methods were not able to be casted by the mortal body but focused on one’s ability to manipulate the dimensional space, way beyond the level of Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners’ Avatar.
Many gods that had cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen could have done it but only if it was tens of feet. While this Demon God Contracted Puppet was magnified by thousands of feet, the dimensional space around was made bigger and pulled closer!
In everyone’s eyes, this Demon God Contracted Puppet had grown into the size of a sky-piercing mountain, hovering above the yellow sands of the desert.
The demon god’s aura was thickening, so strong that it even started disintegrating the yellow sands into nothingness, into thin air. With the disappearance of the yellow sands, the skeletons buried deep in the desert were exposed to the demons, the leftover bones suddenly stood up, millions of skeletons were across the desert, ornamenting the yellow land with countless white dots.
Demons, beasts, Qi Practitioners of other races and many others, there were more living things than anyone could count that died in this dreary land, buried deep down beneath the yellow sands.
And now, all of them stood up, those decapitated bodies, severed limbs, beasts and livings, even Demon Saint’s corpse crawled up.
The dead started dancing, waving their limbs and bodies, dancing happily while they clapped and sang, “The dead have no kings, no commands they listen to;”
The dead beasts then stomped their feet, singing, “Hei ha!”
The skeletons then continued, “The dead have no subordinates, nothing they work for;”
The dead beasts then stomped again, shouting, “Hei Ha!”
“The dead have no time, the four seasons are nonexistent;”
“Hei Ha!”
“The dead have no worries, no pain to suffer from;”
“Hei Ha!”
The corpses were dancing and singing, clapping their hands, “Death is the best, best of the best! I have lived and suffered a million pains, I am now dead but embracing endless joy! The living are worse off than the dead, the dead are better than the living. So die, die now and die, die, die, die!”
The dead in the desert were all singing, it was utterly bizarre and all of the demon experts were looking at one another in shock, puzzled at the development of situation. Even Zhong Yue was puzzled, thinking, This Demon God Contracted Puppet’s master’s entrance is looks really imposing. But from the song, it sounds like he is a crazy fella, being alive is way better than being dead and yet he said that only death will grant endless happiness.
After the ended, the corpses all turned silent and seconds later, they all collapsed back to the ground.
The mountainous Demon God Contracted Puppet then opened his eyes and his sight fell onto Zhong Yue, the three mouths then spoke in a world-trembling voice, “Years after years have passed, I can’t even recall when was the last time a summoner emerged….”
The Demon God Contracted Puppet’s body turned as if it was alive, his necks lengthened and the three giant heads moved down from the clouds and looked at Zhong Yue, his heads covered the whole sky blocking Zhong Yue’s vision and his breath raised a strong gale that made Zhong Yue’s clothes flutter violently.
“The palatable smell of souls … Summoner, you have summoned the great Shi Tuo, what wish do you have for me?”
His voice rumbled across the whole desert, causing the yellow sands to shudder as he said, “Offer your soul to the great Shi Tuo and you shall be granted two wishes!”
Zhong Yue nearly collapsed to the ground in the demon god’s aura, his knees nearly fell to the ground but he pressed against the godly aura anyway, he answered, “The great Shi Tuo, I have only one wish….”
“Are you planning to say that your one wish is to have hundreds and thousands more wishes?”
The Demon God Contracted Puppet winked his eyes and said nefariously with a smile, “The last time a summoner asked for this they ended up in my stomach right away. Hehehe, I only grant wishes that I’m willing to, I’ll do it for sure if it's as easy as blinking an eye, but if you intend to play around with words and set a trap for me, then I’m more than happy to enjoy your delicious soul….”
Zhong Yue bowed and he said, “The great Shi Tuo is the wisest of all, how dare I fool you? My wish is fairly simple….”
He raised his head and looked around at the demons, the Shura clan master’s heart skipped a beat and he shouted, “Strike now before it gets out of control!”
Krong——
The demon divine weapons all burst out with immense power, the Thousand Woods Demon Saber was casted by the Yan Mo Saint Clan clan master and experts, sending out thousands of demon sabers and strikes at Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet!
The Shura clan master also grabbed the golden umbrella in his hands, the Shura Parasol was pulled back and a strong pulling force sucked Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet toward the umbrella!
The Tian Xiang Treasure Seal was also casted by the Tian Xiang clan master, the engravings on the treasure seal came alive and leaped towards Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
Ji Xiang clan master and the old lady came together to cast out the Sixteen Heavenly Demon Art in a dance array, striking at Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet.
The Yaksha clan master swung the trident and strode forward; the Raksha female clan master carried the lute in her arms and played a sad song, assaulting Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet with the invisible soundwaves!
Yama and Asura clan masters also cast out their soul weapons and demon divine weapons; the magnates and giants all had also jolted into action, striking their soul weapons at Zhong Yue and the Demon God Contracted Puppet!
They had all sensed that the situation was developing out of their control, the Demon God Contracted Puppet’s master could breakthrough the dimensions and descend down from the Void World on his own without being worshipped, it was simply unimaginable to them!
Although this Demon God Contracted Puppet’s master was seemingly a crazy man, but his prowess was nothing they had seen or heard of before!
At this point in time, the Demon God Contracted Puppet’s prowess had yet to reach its peak and if they were to strike now, they had a chance to take down the Demon God Contracted Puppet and Zhong Yue together!
Zhong Yue kept his focus and bowed at the Demon God Contracted Puppet, he said, “May the great Shi Tuo sentence them to death!”
The seven saint clans’ greatest demon divine weapon had struck over when the Demon God Contracted Puppet raised his heads, three mouths saying at the same time, “Just this? How easy, I thought you’d throw some hard questions at me…”
The Demon God Contracted Puppet strode forward and reached his hand out, the Thousand Woods Demon Saber was shrunk into a little tree and fell into his hands, the Yan Mo clan master’s face changed drastically and he surged all of his arcane energy in an attempt to retrieve the demon divine weapon. Yet, all of his efforts were in vain as the Thousand Woods Demon saber stayed rooted on the Demon God Contracted Puppet’s hand, not moving at all no matter how hard he tried!
From afar, the Yan Mo Saint Clan’s grand ancestor, Yan Mo’s face also changed drastically and he shouted, “Not good!”
He was the one who crafted the Thousand Woods Demon Saber and it was his soul weapon, but now, he could sense the markings he had left on the Thousand Woods Demon Saber being wiped off in just a few seconds of time!
His prowess was once at the level of the heavenly demon god in his past life, an expert who had created a great saint clan and one could easily infer how hard would it be to wipe his markings off, at the very least, it would need to be a demon god who cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen!
The Thousand Woods Demon Saber then grew bigger in the Demon God Contracted Puppet’s hand and the wood branches quivered lightly, then slashed out with countless saber strikes in all directions!
“The Thousand Woods Demon Saber’s power are all unleashed!” Yan Mo exclaimed in shock.
Shura, Yama, Raksha and the others were also shocked, their faces turned pallid as they all knew exactly how strong of a power the demon divine weapon held. When the Thousand Woods Demon Saber’s full power was unleashed, it could easily slaughter anyone present!
Yan Mo clan master was beheaded and his body was crushed in the saber strikes, the sixteen heavenly demons of the Sixteen Demon Heavenly Demon Art were killed and the painting scroll fell to the ground while the beautiful lady was lacerated into pieces!
Yaksha clan master who had come forward with the trident was sliced into minced meat before he could even get any closer to them.
The Tian Xiang Treasure Seal was struck and it fell to the ground with all its powers lost and the Tian Xiang clan master behind it was also crushed into dust by the striking sabers!
The Demon God Contracted Puppet never moved a step at all, all he did was grab the Thousand Woods Demon Saber and unleashed its power on the surrounding area, killing everyone around.
Under the Shura Parasol, the Shura clan master was sliced into little bits by the demon saber strikes and the running Ji Xiang old lady disintegrated into dust when struck by the saber strikes.
The Asura magnate morphed into the three-taloned Golden Crow and flew away but was beheaded in the next second, crashing into the yellow sands from the high sky.
The saber strikes had also slashed into the underground, killing the magnates and giants who tried to escape using the underground.
Thousands of demon sabers struck out and slaughtered the demons, painting the desert with the color of blood.
The Thousand Woods Demon Saber then slowly shrunk into a over ten feet tall ordinary tree.
The Demon God Contracted Puppet then threw the little tree to the side like a piece of garbage, he opened his mouths and sucked in the air around them, the broken Yuan Shen, spirits and souls were all sucked over into his mouths and he said with a smile, “How delicious … Hey, summoner, your wish is too simple! Do you have any other requests?”
