I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 32

Black smoke was constantly rising and covering the entire place. It ultimately covered the entire sky. For thousands of kilometers, it looked as though everything was sealed in black smoke and turned into an independent spatial zone.

In the vast darkness, there were faint sounds of a tide. Subsequently, there were raging waves that swept in from all directions.

There was a torrential black sea that appeared in front of Chen Luoyang and others. The black sea was lifeless, and every living thing that it engulfed was exterminated!

The seawater was like extremely filthy ink, viscous and dense. Many of the spirit beasts from both sides were devoured by the seawater that suddenly welled up from the ground.

The beasts roared and struggled to leap and avoid the black seawater, but the ink-like seawater was impossible to get rid of once it stained the body.

It didn’t matter what kind of spirit beast it was; as long as it was stained by the black seawater, all spirit beasts would let out painful howls. Their eyes would turn red and be filled with strands of blood, while their pelt and skin would start to fester.

Their flesh constantly undulated as though there was a strange power smashing around within the body. All the spirit beasts swelled up as though their bodies were inflated with air. Due to the festering on their skin, they turned into balls of meat that were grotesquely shaped. The mutilated surface of the body would also be squirming, and it was truly a ghastly sight.

At the next moment…

Bang!

When the spirit beast’s body expanded several times larger than before, it finally reached the limit and suddenly exploded!

As the burst blood and flesh fused with the black seawater, the black tide would look as though it was a fire with oil sprayed on it, surging with more intensity.

On the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage, the Demon Cult experts were all astonished.

“Dead Sea Black Tide!”

Everyone leaped off the carriage without the need for Chen Luoyang to issue the order. All of the martial kings exhibited their abilities and did their best to assist the Demon Cult members on the ground to block the deadly tidal wave.

With their coordination and lead, the Demon Cult members didn’t panic. They grouped up in order before allowing spirit beasts to carry and fly them up to the palace that was being pulled by the flood dragons in the air.

When facing this black sea, the martial kings weren’t able to persist for too long either. After seeing everyone evacuated, Xiao Yuntian and the others also retreated one after the other.

Zhang Tianheng scuttled towards Young Lady Snake and carried her under his armpit. Due to the black seawater, there was no place for him to stand. Zhang Tianheng stepped on the back of a black-scaled giant snake, before flying straight to the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage while carrying Young Lady Snake.

“What is this…?” Young Lady Snake was frightened as she looked down.

The giant snakes that she raised with utmost care were all struggling in the black sea. With scaled bodies that possessed extremely tough defenses, they were able to last longer than other spirit beasts. However, after a short moment, those giant snakes started to twist in pain.

The flesh under the black scale was constantly swelling and distorting in shape. Finally, the armor scales were burst open as the snakes were turned into a pile of messy flesh. Afterwards, they were engulfed by the black sea and turned into its nutrients, making the black sea stronger.

“The Dead Sea Black Tide is a tidal wave that can exterminate all living things.” Zhang Tianheng carried Young Lady Snake and had a stern expression. “This is the Other Tribe’s absolute art, Edict of Black Death.”

When engulfed by the tidal wave of darkness, all living things would be exterminated, leaving behind deathly stillness.

The silver snake on Young Lady Snake’s wrist was constantly emitting a sharp hissing sound. The six flood dragons that were pulling the Demon Sovereign’s carriage were also roaring with frustration.

The land below had already turned into the black death of hell. However, there were exceptions. There was a type of creature that was still alive. It was actually that group of giant rats!

They were currently entrenched together and facing the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage in the sky while making noises and revealing conceited expressions.

The black tide was undulating under the claws and fangs of the giant rats, and one could vaguely see some white bones underneath the tide. Those giant skeletons were close to a hundred meters in size, and they were none other than the remains of those black-scaled giant snakes.

The black-scaled giant snakes that were suppressing the giant rats earlier had now become stepping stones for the giant rats.

It wasn’t just this; when those giant rats soaked in the black tide, their bodies increased in size. They were originally the size of a calf, but now, they were as large as adult bulls.

At the pitch-black seawater below, there were countless pairs of eyes that were flickering with green light, as though they were countless will-o’-wisps.

The giant rats made a clamor that was deafening.

“Everyone be careful and meditate while circulating your cultivation technique.” Xiao Yuntian’s voice echoed loudly. “This place has already turned into a dead sea. The Black Death Evil Force will automatically corrupt all living things here.”

The spirit beasts that were flying in the air let out painful cries as they couldn’t control their minds and were unable to continue flying. Even though they didn’t get stained by the black seawater, they were still affected.

This Dead Sea Black Tide was strange and overbearing. It was truly a horrific sight. Those Demon Cult members that were fortunate enough to get onto the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage were all meditating and regulating their breaths.

However, there were some whose expressions were pale, while their bodies were heating up, and their eyes were bloodshot. They felt a faintly evil qi force in their bodies. The evil force slowly accumulated and constantly scuttled around as though it had its own vitality and mind.

It was imaginable that if this evil force strengthened to a certain extent, everyone’s outcome would be just like those spirit beasts. Those with high cultivation stages were able to resist for a longer period, while those with weak cultivations were already starting to show warning signs.

Elder Mingjing condensed his martial dao intent and turned it into the eight-armed arhat. He then picked out those in the worst condition and isolated them. Otherwise, they would only worsen the conditions of the others in the vicinity.

Zhang Tianheng took a glance and saw that Young Lady Snake also had a miserably pale expression, and her forehead was perspiring with cold sweat. Her specialization was in controlling spirit beasts, but now, it was a contest of cultivation.

Zhang Tianheng placed his palm on her back and used his power to expel the Black Death Evil Force’s corruption. However, he could only save her temporarily as Zhang Tianheng also had to withstand the corruption of the evil force.

Apart from Young Lady Snake, Madam Fragrance, General Ant, and others were also painstakingly holding on. To make things worse, the entire place, including the sky and the ground, were all covered in this Dead Sea Black Tide.

The black seawater was squeezing towards the middle from all directions and constantly approaching the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage.

“Even if Left Sage King Xiuzhe’s proficiency on the Edict of Black Death was unprecedented, to create such a vast dead sea is still a little outrageous, right?” Vajra yelled out.

Elder Mingjing muttered, “I heard that it was extremely dangerous to cultivate the Edict of Black Death. The practitioner would also be constantly corrupted by the Black Death Evil Force. In order to avoid being corrupted, the practitioner would need to increase his cultivation. It is best to have someone to coordinate and soothe the evil force.”

After accumulating for a long period of time, even sand could form a tower, and it might even form some kind of artifact. The current situation should be the work of that artifact, and the dozens of years of evil force accumulation is all being released at once.”

“There was also the spirit beast battle that spread blood everywhere and strengthened this evil force,” Xiao Yuntian commented.

“All those aren’t important. The crucial thing is what should we do now?” Vajra had a bitter expression and looked at Chen Luoyang on the throne. “This subordinate is incompetent. Will Cult Master please forgive me? Do you think…?”

Chen Luoyang looked at the black sea of death on the outside, and right at this moment, there was a surging tide that suddenly appeared on the surface of the black sea. It was actually a human face that was slowly emerging.

The features of this face were vivid and lifelike; when Xiao Yuntian and the others saw the face, they were all surprised. “It isn’t Xiuzhe?!”
