Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2349 Chapter 1074: Awakening_3

With a deep voice, True Man Situ commanded, "Find this wicked creature!"

This Red Powder Demon possesses the ability to conceal its true form, subtly preying upon human desires. If it is not swiftly eradicated, it is certain to unleash great calamity.

Subsequently, all present commenced their search and pursuit using their Divine Thought Techniques or Divine Thought Treasures, yet not a single trace of the Red Powder Demon could be uncovered.

A frown creased True Man Situ's brow. His mind whirred, and he swiftly joined his fingers, unleashing a beam of red-gold light towards the altar where Yu Er, the nascent form of the Evil God, lay.

Indeed, as the red-gold light hovered in the air, the Red Powder Demon materialized, expelling streams of pink Evil Qi to obstruct the radiance.

It functions as an attendant demon to the Evil God True Embryo, existing primarily to safeguard the nascent Evil Embryo.

The others quickly grasped the situation and initiated their assaults on the Evil Embryo, employing their Divine Thought Techniques.

By striking at its master, the demonic entity would undoubtedly be compelled to intervene.

As anticipated, the Red Powder Demon let out an enraged roar but found itself compelled to endure True Man Situ's onslaught in defense of its "master."

Despite being a Fetal Demon, it wields considerable power; its strength is rooted in its elusive nature, capable of stirring human desires and corrupting the Primordial Spirit. Beyond this, its actual might is confined to the Peak of Third Grade, rendering it naturally inferior to True Man Situ and the others in direct combat.

Before long, the Red Powder Demon was repelled by the Peach Wood Sword, incinerated by the Six Yang Red Gold Lamp, and ultimately subdued by the Soul Suppressing Talisman wielded by the elder from the Spirit Talisman Sect.

The Red Powder Demon was thoroughly subdued.

True Man Situ released a sigh of relief, preparing to "completely eliminate evil" and utterly destroy the Red Powder Demon. At that very moment, visions of Fetal Demon Eggs cracking flashed through his mind once more.

True Man Situ engaged in a moment of contemplation, then, with a jolt of alarm, declared:

"Something is amiss!"

Accompanying Demon Eggs are not meant to hatch before the awakening of the Evil God.

This holds true for the Red Powder Demon as well; its premature hatching indicates it was intentionally released.

And indeed, there were observable "scratches" upon the Demon Egg.

This implies that prior to their arrival, an entity had already visited the altar and deliberately released a Fetal Demon Egg ahead of time to "ambush" them.

"There is another party involved!"

The instant this thought took hold, True Man Situ's heart turned cold.

Almost simultaneously, a shadowy black figure materialized in the void, and a colossal, inky hand, infused with potent Divine Thought Power, launched an unexpected assault on True Man Situ, intending to end his life.

A warning blared in True Man Situ's mind as he hastily conjured the Six Yang Red Gold Lamp for defense and beat a rapid retreat.

The three brothers affiliated with the Xuanmen sect immediately positioned themselves in front of True Man Situ to shield him.

However, the black shadow's Divine Thought Power proved overwhelmingly strong; with a solitary palm strike, it sent the three brothers reeling, its malevolent telekinetic force penetrating their bodies and causing them to spew blood.

The black shadow continued its relentless assault, now targeting Mr. Tu.

A tattooed individual stepped forward to intercept but was still grievously wounded by a single, powerful blow.

As it became apparent that the black shadow's hands, akin to a Devil's Claw, were about to grasp True Man Situ,

the elder of the Daluo Sect brandished a Heavy Sword, channeling the profound Divine Thought from the Heaven Void Realm to impede the shadowy assailant.

One palm met one sword in a violent clash, causing potent ripples of Divine Thought Power to surge.

The elder of the Daluo Sect was forced back three paces.

Yet, the black shadow only retreated a single step.

This observation clearly indicated that the Divine Thought Power of the black shadow surpassed that of the elder from the Daluo Sect.

Curiously, the black shadow was enshrouded in wisps of malevolent energy, heavy with Evil Thoughts, yet its form possessed a more human than monstrous silhouette. The elder of the Daluo Sect knitted his brows and inquired:

"Are you... human?"

The black shadow, cloaked in sinister fog, offered no reply.

"You scoundrel, hiding your identity while revealing yourself! I have loathed wicked individuals such as you my entire life!"

The elder of the Daluo Sect chastised, then, raising his Heavy Sword and channeling the Daluo Unification Sword Skill, delivered a powerful strike towards the black shadow.

His Daluo Unification Divine Thought Sword Technique was a creation born from his own envy and attempts to emulate the True Jue from the Taixu Gate; it was a self-developed skill, barely qualifying as a Divine Thought Sword Skill, and noted for its crude, unrefined nature rather than intricacy.

Being a cultivator in the Heaven Void Realm and a Sword Cultivator himself, as long as his Divine Thought possessed the capability to sever, its power remained considerable.

The elder of the Daluo Sect utilized this unrefined Daluo Unification Divine Thought Sword Skill to engage the black shadow in combat.

The other three cultivators of the Heaven Void Realm also joined the fray to provide assistance.

The spectral figure possessed a formidable Divine Thought, suggesting mastery of Divine Thought Techniques. Its Divine Thought, infused with sinister energy, far surpassed that of any Primordial Spirit present.

However, regardless of its might, it could not withstand the combined force of four Heaven Void Realms. After numerous exchanges, it found itself on the defensive.

After a short while, an elder from the Daluo Sect detected a peculiar and strangely familiar aura emanating from the black shadow. Focusing intently, he unleashed his full Divine Thought, his Sword Qi erupting and striking the black shadow's head with astonishing speed.

The black shadow was compelled to evade the assault.

Seizing this momentary advantage, the Daluo Sect elder abruptly abandoned his sword. Instead, he channeled telekinetic power into his massive fists, delivering a direct blow to the black shadow's face.

The black shadow's head contorted violently from the sheer force of the punch.

Moments later, the sinister energy coalesced once more, reforming a head. Yet, the obscuring black mist had already been dissipated by the powerful strike.

Having now glimpsed the black shadow's true visage, the Daluo Sect elder clenched his teeth and bellowed:

"Xiao Zhengming!"

Xiao Zhengming, the name of an elder from the Xiao family.

The Xiao family and the Daluo Sect maintained extensive connections, leading to personal acquaintanceships among their elders.

Precisely because of this familiarity, the elder of the Daluo Sect's fury intensified.

Xiao Zhengming, his countenance contorted with malice, appeared unperturbed.

The Daluo Sect elder restrained his rising anger and inquired icily, "Since when did you become a lackey for the Evil Demon?"

This question seemed to irk the Xiao family elder as well. His face twisted, a hint of fanatical devotion appearing.
