“I thought you were plotting something, White Robe.” If someone infuriates you, beat the shit out of them. That was the kind of behavior Empress Yue Su subscribed to despite her gender. She had always been a decisive woman, and she wasn’t about to stop now. Unfortunately, right before she could unleash an attack against White Robe Demon Master, she suddenly felt her force and spirit pouring into the underground against her will. Not only that, five powerful and corruptive powers were attacking her mind. Clearly, she had taken White Robe Demon Master’s place and become one of the gears that propelled the Rakshasa Seal. Enraged, Empress Yue Su tried to master her energies and leave the area. However, she discovered in shock that she couldn’t do so. Not only that, she was pinned in place like her feet had grown roots. She could do nothing but allow the array to absorb her power. It was only a few seconds, but much of her powers had left her body. She finally understood why her fellow Sages looked as terrible as they were even though they had only operated the array for a short time. She also understood why they didn’t just stop and leave after the Rakshasa King was killed. “There’s no use struggling.” White Robe Demon Master smiled at her. “I forgot to mention this, but the Rakshasa Seal cannot be stopped once it is activated. The operators cannot disrupt or force the array to stop functioning either. It will only cease after you have run out of power.” “But don’t worry. So long as you keep up your mental defenses, this array cannot take your life. Of course, your foundation may be damaged, and you may drop a cultivation level. It’s just a price you have to pay.” “You are despicable, White Robe.” Empress Yue Su glared at him. She had been on her guard this whole time, but she still fell for his trap hook, line and sinker. It was her devious enemy that was to blame, not her. “You did not just realize that, did you?” White Robe Demon Master did not take it as an insult. On the contrary, he took pride in it. He shook his head regretfully while saying, “Despite having interacted with me for a thousand years, it looks like you haven’t improved much.” “Don’t worry though. I won’t kill you. The Profound Alliance still needs you five. I will also leave this place behind after everything is settled. You do not need to worry about the safety of the Profound Alliance.” Empress Yue Su was confused to put it mildly. White Robe Demon Master went through all this trouble to set them up, and yet he wasn’t planning to kill them or conspire against the Profound Alliance. Just what was his goal? She asked, “What on earth are you plotting, White Robe?” “Just making you lend me a hand, that’s all.” Confident that victory was firmly in his grasp, White Robe Demon Master stopped being deceptive. “The Rakshasa King is dead, and the Rakshasa Kingdom is destroyed. I will soon be leaving this land as well. This means that the Profound Alliance will no longer have a foreign threat. If I allow you to keep your cultivation, it is extremely possible that you may turn against each other instead. That is why I’m making you help me.” “You did not answer my question, White Robe!” Empress Yue Su felt very uneasy. “You’ll find out very soon.” White Robe Demon Master smiled and floated up into the sky. He made a hand seal with both hands and gathered a ball of invisible energy. When White Robe’s aura had reached the peak, he slowly raised both of his arms and declared, “Refine the dark...” White Robe Demon Master’s arms moved very, very slowly. It was as if he was bearing an unimaginable weight. The space beneath his feet was breaking inch by inch like it was solid ground as well. At the same time, the Ghost Dragon, Nether Phoenix, Nether Tiger, Corpse Turtle and Dark Qilin roared at the same time, and the five Sages began losing force and spirit several times faster than before. It all went into the five ancient dark beasts’ bodies. The bodies of the dark beasts grew more and more solid. Their auras were becoming greater and more terrifying as well. The next moment, the five dark beasts charged toward the center of the array and crashed into each other. There was a soundless explosion. At the same time, a pentachromatic fire spilled into the surroundings. Original content can be found at novel-fire.net The pentachromatic fire was extraordinarily beautiful. Red was hidden within dark green, white was surrounding red, grayish black was spreading around white, and dark yellow was contained within grayish black. The five colors circulated and mingled in ways that were dreamlike, evil and bizarre all at the same time. As the pentachromatic fire continued to burn and spread, the demonic, crimson red ground of the Rakshasa Land slowly lost its color. Its energies had dissipated into nothing as well. Before, the Rakshasa Land was scorched, tainted, and chaotic. However, energies and earthly qi still flowed through its veins. But now, the pentachromatic flame was burning it all into nothing. It took only the blink of an eye for the entire continent to become grayish, dim, and lightless. White Robe Demon Master still didn’t stop though. He continued to use the Sages’ power to operate the array. Another moment passed, and a single drop of red, demonic blood slowly floated out from the depths of grayish dark ground. The blood was only as big as a fingertip. However, it was shining like the sun and emanating unimaginable amounts of power. Rivers of blood were churning, creatures were wailing, and worlds were dying inside the blood drop. It contained seemingly an endless amount of divine power. In terms of aura alone, it was absolutely no inferior to the Burning Nether Holy Lord’s. There was no doubt about it. It was a drop of divine blood. It was the Rakshasa God Blood. A drop of blood shed by the ancient Rakshasa God King himself. The ancient Rakshasa God King lived at the bottom of the Underworld. He was the master of the Rakshasa God Realm and the ruler of millions and millions of living creatures. It was a supreme Colossus of the past and possessed infinite power. Later, the Rakshasa God King fought against a great foe, and a drop of his blood spilled onto the human world. It transformed into the Rakshasa Land and eventually gave birth to the Rakshasa King. The Rakshasa King was a creation of the Rakshasa God King. That was why he was so powerful. White Robe Demon Master’s goal had never been the humans of the Profound Alliance or the Rakshasa King. It was the Rakshasa God Blood from the start until the end. For this, he bent his knee to the Rakshasa God King and acted as his strategist. He also spent a thousand years setting up the Rakshasa Seal and brought forth the death of the Rakshasa King. It was all for the Rakshasa God Blood. That was why White Robe Demon Master trembled uncontrollably when he saw the blood slowly rising into the air like the sun. It was both because of his exhaustion and excitement. It was a thousand years of planning, execution, and tolerance. And now, he was a moment away from achieving his ultimate objective. How could he not be excited and delighted? “Rakshasa God Blood... My Rakshasa God Blood...” White Robe Demon Master’s voice trembled a little. They still couldn’t see his face, but his tone betrayed his expectation, his agitation, his joy, his urgency. The Rakshasa God Blood was rising higher and higher. It was slowly pulling itself away from the earth. White Robe Demon Master was so agitated he could barely control himself. Still, he mastered himself. He didn’t grab the Rakshasa God Blood not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t. At least not yet.
