Chapter 855: God of Chaos
The originally stable blood runes began to fluctuate violently, as if they would collapse at any time.
"What did you do?"
The old man roared.
Li Yang explained:
"From the beginning, my [World Devourer] was not used against you."
"But..."
He pointed to the bottom of the altar:
"Eating the foundations of the altar."
Only then did the old man notice that there was an almost invisible black vortex slowly rotating at the bottom of the altar.
The energy originally used for sacrifice is being absorbed by the vortex bit by bit.
"But that's not enough." Li Yang continued, "What's really decisive..."
He looked at Yanyue.
Yan Yue nodded: "That's it."
A simple jade pendant suddenly appeared in her hand.
"That's..." The old man's pupils shrank sharply,
"Yuanyuan Jade!"
"That's right." Yanyue said,
"This is an important token obtained from Jiang Lan."
"I see..." Jiang Lan suddenly realized, "No wonder you want to save me."
"This jade pendant..." Yan Yue continued to explain, "can interfere with any ritual involving chaos."
"and..."
She looked at the old man,
"The effect increases with the scale of the ritual."
"You!" the old man was furious, "How dare you..."
But it was too late.
As the power of Yuanyuan Jade spread, the energy of the entire altar began to lose control.
Those bloody runes twisted crazily, and finally turned into dots of starlight and dissipated in the sky.
"No!"
The old man wanted to stop it, but the [World Devourer] who had been secretly saving up suddenly broke out.
The black vortex expanded rapidly, swallowing up the entire altar together with the energy on it.
"This is impossible!" the old man roared crazily,
"I've obviously already..."
But before he could finish his words, a crisp cracking sound suddenly came from within his body.
The moment he lost the support of the altar, the power of chaos accumulated in his body began to run rampant.
"ah!"
He let out a shrill scream, and his whole body began to expand rapidly.
"Get back!" Li Yang shouted, "He's going to blow himself up!"
Everyone quickly retreated and left the scope of the temple.
The next moment, an earth-shaking explosion sounded in the temple.
The terrifying energy shock wave razed the entire temple to the ground.
When the smoke dispersed, all the bloody runes had disappeared.
The old man also turned into fly ash and scattered in the wind.
"it's over..."
Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No." Li Yang shook his head.
"This is just the beginning."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his head and looked into the distance:
"Next..."
"That's the real challenge."
At this moment, there was a sudden strange fluctuation in the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw that the moon was slowly being swallowed by shadows.
The lunar eclipse has finally begun.
And in the shadow, something seems to be awakening...
In the sky, the moon is gradually being swallowed up.
An indescribable sense of depression enveloped the entire world.
"Something's wrong..." Jiang Lan suddenly said, "This is not an ordinary lunar eclipse."
Li Yang nodded: "Although the old man's sacrifice failed, it still touched something."
At this moment, a low roar suddenly sounded in the sky.
The sound seemed to come from ancient times, and it seemed to originate from nothingness.
"It's coming." Yan Yue looked solemn,
"The God of Chaos...is coming."
The moment the moon was completely shrouded in shadow, a huge gap suddenly opened in the entire sky.
Countless twisted tentacles protruded from the cracks, each exuding a heart-stopping aura.
"Is this...the God of Chaos..." Xia Yuan murmured to himself.
"No." Li Yan shook his head, "This is just a projection of it."
"But even a projection..." he continued, "is enough to destroy an entire plane."
The cracks in the sky are getting bigger and bigger, and more tentacles are sticking out.
They were twisting in the air, seemingly looking for something.
"It's looking for the energy of sacrifice." Qingping said,
"But now the energy has been swallowed up..."
"So it will look for substitutes." Li Yang took over,
"and..."
"The best alternative..."
"Those of us with divine powers."
Sure enough, those tentacles suddenly changed their direction and headed straight towards everyone.
"Be prepared for an attack."
Li Yang gave the order and everyone immediately put into defensive formation.
Xia Yuan's Golden Crow power turned into a golden barrier.
Qingping's mutual power formed a second line of defense on the outside.
Yan Yue holds the Origin Jade, constantly interfering with the movement of those tentacles.
Li Yan released blazing fire, forming the outermost layer of protection.
However, these defenses appear so fragile in front of the God of Chaos.
When the first tentacle hit the defense, the entire formation shook violently.
"Hold on!"
Li Yang shouted, and at the same time activated [World Devourer], trying to devour those tentacles.
But this time, the power of the vortex was completely ineffective.
Instead, the power of chaos emitted by those tentacles began to erode the edge of the vortex.
"No..." Jiang Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Ordinary power is of no use to it."
"Then..." Li Yang said suddenly, "try something else."
As he spoke, he looked at the Yuan Yuan Jade in Yan Yue's hand.
"Understood."
Yan Yue nodded and handed the jade pendant to Li Yang.
Li Yang took the jade pendant and put it together with his soul jade.
Try to merge it with the power of [World Eater].
In an instant, simple lines appeared on the surface of the dark vortex.
Those tentacles that were originally unable to be swallowed began to melt away little by little.
Seeing this, the God of Chaos seemed to be furious.
The crack in the sky suddenly expanded, and more tentacles came out.
They whipped their defensive formations around like crazy, seeming to destroy all obstacles at once.
"Not enough..." Li Yang frowned, "The power of Yuanyuan Jade is still too weak."
At this moment, Jiang Lan suddenly took a step forward:
"let me!"
"What?"
"There is still a lot of chaos power left in my body." Jiang Lan said, "Maybe..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Li Yang nodded slightly:
"Worth a try."
Jiang Lan immediately put his hand on the Yuanyuan Jade, and the power of chaos in his body poured in continuously.
Li Yang used "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang" to guide that power for his own use.
In the process, Jiang Lan's aura became weaker and weaker.
But the light of the jade pendant is getting stronger and stronger.
Soon, the entire vortex was shrouded in a mysterious halo.
The moment those tentacles come into contact with the halo, they will immediately dissipate.
The God of Chaos seemed to feel the threat and let out a thundering roar.
Countless tentacles contracted at the same time and drilled back into the cracks.
The cracks in the sky also began to slowly heal.
"Succeeded?" Xia Yuan couldn't believe it.
"Not yet..." Li Yang said, "The last blow."
He suddenly raised the Yuanyuan Jade and pointed it at the crack in the sky that was about to heal.
In an instant, all the light converged into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
The light beam passed through the crack and seemed to hit something.
A shrill wail came from the void.
The cracks began to twist violently, and finally shattered.
