Chapter 885

Somewhere in the World of Darkness, there was a nine-meter-tall black altar. The altar was nine-meter-tall, nine-meter-long, and nine-meter-wide. There were many carvings on it, and the carvings were emitting a black light. They connected together and released an aura that made one's heart palpitate.

On top of the altar, there were eight stone pillars. Like the altar, the stone pillars were mainly black in color, and the stone pillars were also engraved with fine black lines.

On top of each stone pillar, there was a fist-sized black stone. The stone was emitting a black light, and it was so black that it was dazzling. It floated quietly on top of the stone pillars.

If the trial takers who entered the World of Darkness came here, they would definitely be able to recognize the black stone immediately. This was because the black stone was not only the same as the stone on top of the stone tower, but also the same aura.

Nine black stones of the same size floated on top of the nine stone pillars.

Below the altar, a group of tall non-humankind beings were kneeling. There were at least a thousand of them, and they were all at the Mortal Realm and Origin Core Realm. They were kneeling on the ground, facing the altar, and mumbling something as if they were praying.

Suddenly, rays of light appeared in the sky. These rays of light were extremely bright, and they lit up the entire World of Darkness.

When the rays of light appeared in the sky, it was obvious that someone was approaching. However, none of the non-humankind beings moved, and none of them raised their heads to look at the source of the light.

As the light neared, it turned into human figures. Compared to the huge bodies of the non-humankind beings, the height of these newcomers was completely negligible.

They were all humans, and there were a total of five of them. Humans and non-humankind beings were supposed to be mortal enemies. However, when these five humans appeared, the non-humankind beings did not react at all.

In the hands of the fifth human, there was a fainted black figure. This black figure was slightly taller than a normal human, and it was covered in black fur. It was curled up.

"What a troublesome fellow. He was only at the Origin Core Realm, and he almost killed us."

When the five of them arrived, they went straight to the altar. One of them looked at the black figure with fear in his eyes.

"That's the famous Heaven Splitting Battle Ape, one of the most powerful beings among the Outsiders. If we hadn't joined hands, I'm afraid we would have been killed by him." The five landed on the altar, and one of them glanced at the black shadow.

The black shadow was thrown into the center of the altar. This was where the runes of the altar intersected, and it was also the most important position. The black shadow lay there without any reaction. After falling to the ground, the face of the black shadow was revealed. It was the devil ape of the Heaven Splitting Battle Ape bloodline.

At this moment, the demonic ape seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber. There were many wounds all over its body, some of which were so deep that its bones could be seen. Black-red blood dripped from its wounds onto the altar.

The black blood landed on the altar and did not scatter. They were like black and red pearls that emitted resplendent light as they landed on the patterns.

"As expected of the Sky Rending Battle Ape. Even its blood is extraordinary. Unfortunately, it's useless to us." A human wearing blue armor sighed.

"Even if it's useful, we can't have any ideas about it. It's the primer to open the teleportation platform. Whether or not the Demons can come to this world depends on it," another person said.

The others nodded. Their mission was to capture the demonic ape, and then use it as a primer to open a world passage to the Demons.

The five of them chatted freely on the altar. The Demons below still had their heads lowered and muttered to themselves, ignoring the five above.

Suddenly, a human turned his head and looked at the kneeling Demons. "Let the ceremony begin."

Hearing this, the Demons raised their heads. Their crimson eyes did not look at the human, but at the altar. Their expressions became extremely fanatical.

The Demons all stretched out their hands. Black light surged from their hands, condensing into a two-meter-long black blade. The black blade flashed with a cold light, as if it had materialized. The Demons held the black blade with both hands, their fanatical gazes still fixed on the altar. Then, they stabbed the sharp blade into their own hearts.

Without any defense, the black blade easily pierced through the chest and pierced through the heart. Poof, poof, poof, poof, the hearts of thousands of Demons were pierced by the black blade.

The black blade was formed by energy. After piercing through the body, it disappeared. Bright red blood gushed out from the front and back of the Demons' hearts like a fountain.

The bright red blood instantly flowed all over the ground. Then, it quickly formed a small river from the ground and flowed towards the altar in front.

Blood flowed on the ground, and the runes on the altar suddenly began to glow. These runes were like blood vessels, and they began to absorb the blood. The blood flowed along the runes at the bottom and spread upwards until it covered the entire altar. Then, the blood flowed along the altar and spread towards the nine stone pillars.

With the blood seeping in, the patterns on the nine stone pillars began to glow. They gave off a glaring blood-red light. The blood-red light on the stone pillars became dazzling, and the black stone above the stone pillars also gave off a bright light.

Below, thousands of Demons' expressions became weaker. This was because the altar did not just absorb their blood. Other than the blood, it also absorbed their life force. This weak appearance was also due to the loss of life force. However, they were not afraid. Instead, the light in their eyes became more and more fanatical.

This was a blood sacrifice ceremony. It could only be started with a large amount of Demon Clan's blood.

The light on the altar became brighter and brighter. The aura from the altar also became more and more frightening.

The five humans had already left the altar in a flash. They looked at the altar in the air.

After the entire altar was filled with bright red blood, the entire black altar had turned blood-red. These blood-red patterns began to spread towards the center, where the Demon Ape was.

The dark red blood that dripped from the Demon Ape exploded and joined the blood-red patterns. At the same time, the blood-red patterns began to spread and directly penetrated all the patterns.

The altar instantly emitted a blood-red light. A surge of energy was released. Under the surge of this energy, the Demon Ape, who had fainted, struggled for a while. It was obvious that it was in pain.

The previous blood sacrifice was to let the bright red blood fill the entire altar. This was considered to be the start of the altar. Next, the blood in the Demon Ape's body would merge with the entire altar. At that time, the blood sacrifice ceremony would end.

When the altar was started, the dark red blood on the Demon Ape's body was swallowed by the blood-red patterns. Because of the Demon Ape's blood, there were flashes of black light in the red patterns.

The five of them looked at all of this with a smug smile on their faces. Their families had been planning for this day for a long time. Now, they were finally going to succeed.

The blood-red patterns on the altar had a black light. At this moment, the Demon Ape's blood had already filled the entire altar.

A terrifying aura gushed out from the altar. This was the prelude to connecting the two worlds. An even stronger suction force came from the altar, and the vitality of the thousands of demons were all sucked away at this moment. All of the demons died in an instant.

The black stones on the altar also emitted a bright light. This light seemed to break through the sky at this moment. It was summoning something.

Soon, nine rays of light appeared in the sky above the dark world. These nine rays of light seemed to have come from beyond the sky. They fell straight towards the nine black stones below.

The smiles on the five of them grew wider. When the nine rays of light fell, it would be the time when the two worlds were connected. At that time, the Demon Ape of the Sky-breaker Lineage would definitely die.

Just as the nine rays of light were about to fall, something strange happened. When one of the rays of light fell, the light became dimmer and dimmer. Its size also became smaller and smaller. It was as if it had no more power.

Before it landed on the black stone, this ray of light dimmed. Out of the nine rays of light, one ray of light disappeared. Only eight rays of light fell.

An aura gushed out from the eight black stones. However, one ray of aura was missing. This aura was condensed and did not dissipate. It could not be released to connect the two worlds.

"Damn it. What is going on?" Exasperated voices were heard from the five of them.

The eight rays of light were unable to be released. They were forced back. First, they fell from the black stones and entered the stone pillars. Then, they followed the patterns on the stone pillars and landed on the altar. As they spread, they reached the very centre of the altar and landed on the Demon Ape's body.

A surge of energy entered the Demon Ape's body and wildly attacked its meridians. The Demon Ape was awakened by the heart-wrenching pain. It immediately opened its eyes.

Zi Chen appeared above as quickly as he could. He arrived at the top of the stone tower and beside the black stones.

However, before he could break through the seal, the entire stone tower began to shine. Then, the black stones began to shine. A surge of energy rushed out from the black stones.

The seal on the surface of the black stones was instantly dispersed by the energy. Then, the energy shot into the sky and into the sky.

This scene stunned everyone. Even the people who were fighting over the obsidian were stunned. Zi Chen was the same. He stared blankly at the energy that shot into the sky.

"Little guy, hurry up and take the obsidian." Suddenly, an old voice sounded in Zi Chen's mind.

This voice startled Zi Chen. However, he subconsciously grabbed the obsidian. Without using much strength, the obsidian was moved away by Zi Chen and taken away.

The light that shot into the sky was interrupted because of this.

Zi Chen took the obsidian. The light that shot into the sky disappeared. The others were also awakened.

"Zi Chen, put down the thing."

"This is ours."

Loud shouts sounded instantly. The chaotic battle continued.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

Zi Chen, who was holding the obsidian, retreated quickly. Hearing this, Tyrant and the others also retreated.

However, the group of Xiantian warriors were like the demons. Their eyes were red. They looked at the obsidian in Zi Chen's hand as if they were looking at a Xiantian inheritance technique. They quickly chased after him.

"We can't keep running like this. What should we do?"

Tyrant asked worriedly. They hadn't found the exit of this world. If they kept running like this, they would be caught sooner or later.

"Take these things in case you need them." Zi Chen put away the obsidian. With a flash of light, strange items appeared in his hand.

Zi Chen had bought more than forty strange items. Now, he took out half of them and threw them to the crowd.

"If necessary, kill without mercy." Zi Chen said coldly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, a surge of energy surged behind him. Then, a huge black hole appeared behind Zi Chen.
