Chapter 851: Supreme Evolution
"This is..." she said weakly.
"It's over." Li Yan supported her crumbling body.
"it's all over."
Li Yang and Xia Yuan stepped forward.
"Fortunately..." Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, it was stopped in time."
Li Yang nodded: "But..."
He looked into the distance.
There is still an ominous atmosphere spreading in the sky.
"I'm afraid this is just the beginning."
Li Yan also looked up:
"Yeah...the other heirs..."
"They might all be trying the same thing."
"And..." He smiled bitterly,
"There may be more extreme methods than sacrificing the divine core."
The four of them stood silently on the broken ground.
On the horizon, dark clouds are still rolling.
This battle between divine power and chaos has just begun.
Li Yang looked at the cloudy sky in the distance, thoughtfully:
"Judging from the current situation, other successors may also be looking for ways to break through."
"And..." Xia Yuan added,
"Since some people choose to sacrifice the divine core, someone will definitely come up with more extreme means."
Yan Yue said weakly: "Indeed... I know... someone is studying more terrifying rituals..."
"What ceremony?" Li Yang asked.
"Sacrifice...the entire plane..."
As soon as she said this, the other three looked at her in shock.
"This..." Li Yan couldn't believe it,
"How is that possible? Even the heirs don't have this ability."
Yan Yue shook her head: "Of course a single successor can't do it, but if multiple successors join forces..."
"And..." she struggled to say, "they found an ancient altar."
"Legend has it that...it was the place where the first gods fell."
Li Yang frowned: "Where is it?"
"West...deep in the polar ice sheets."
"There is a temple frozen forever."
"It is said...as long as you use enough divine power to activate the altar at a specific time..."
"It can trigger a sacrifice that affects the entire plane."
Xia Yuan frowned:
"So their goal is..."
"At the cost of the life of the entire plane, in exchange for the true power of the gods."
Li Yan took over.
"Madman..." he gritted his teeth, "This is simply..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden violent vibration in the distance.
The ground began to crack.
Countless strange runes poured out from the cracks, intertwining into a strange pattern in the sky.
"It's already started..."
Yan Yue's face turned pale.
"They are gathering all successors who would like to participate."
Li Yang immediately asked: "How long will it take?"
"Three days..." Yanyue replied, "It takes three days for the altar to recharge."
"But..." She changed the subject.
"It's not too late to stop it now."
"What do you mean?" Xia Yuan asked.
"While rituals are powerful, they also have weaknesses."
"That's..." She pointed to the runes in the sky,
"The divine powers of all participants must be kept in sync."
"If this balance can be broken..."
"The whole ritual would fall apart."
Li Yang nodded:
"So we're going to..."
"That's right." Yan Yue said, "This balance must be destroyed before they complete the ritual."
"It's just..." She looked at her empty chest, "In my current state..."
"Just rest." Li Yan said,
"Leave this to us."
"No..." Yan Yue shook her head,
"You need me."
"Although I have lost my divine core, my understanding of the power of chaos may be able to help."
"And..." She smiled bitterly, "This can be considered a kind of atonement."
Li Yang pondered for a moment and finally nodded:
"Okay. But you have to promise me that you will stop immediately once you find that your body can't hold it anymore."
Yan Yue nodded.
At this moment, the runes in the sky suddenly fluctuated violently.
A huge portal slowly opened.
"It seems..." Xia Yuan said,
"They're ready to go."
"It's time for us to take action." Li Yang looked around.
In the distance, more and more successors are gathering towards the portal.
Each of them exudes different fluctuations of divine power.
But the same thing is that fanatical and twisted atmosphere.
"Let's go."
Li Yang said,
"Time is running out."
The four of them looked at each other and started immediately.
However, just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Where are you going?"
Li Yang turned around suddenly.
I saw a tall man appearing behind me at some point.
He wore a silver-white armor, but its surface was covered with protrusions that looked like abscesses.
"Hui Yin..." Li Yan whispered, "How did you..."
"Come to invite you."
Gray Silver smiled and said,
"The ritual needs more participants."
"Especially..." He looked at Li Yang meaningfully,
"A successor with special abilities."
Li Yang sneered:
"Sorry, not interested."
"Really?" Gray Silver tilted his head,
"Then what are you going to do in the polar ice fields?"
"Could it be..." His smile twisted, "You want to stop us?"
Before he finished speaking, the armor on his body suddenly began to wriggle.
Those abscess-like protrusions cracked open, revealing the chaotic power contained inside.
"You think..." Li Yang was about to speak, and suddenly felt something strange.
The chaotic power on Huiyin's body... seemed to be different from what he had encountered before.
Even more... weird.
"What?" Huiyin grinned, "Did you find it?"
"This is a more advanced method than sacrificing the divine core."
"Do you want to know what it is?"
Without waiting for others to answer, he took the initiative to explain:
"This is... pollution."
"A way to truly integrate divine power and chaos."
As he said, he raised his hand.
The protrusions on the armor began to wriggle violently, turning into countless tentacles that spread around.
Wherever he passed, the air was polluted, twisted and rotten.
"You..." Li Yan's pupils shrank, "Are you crazy?"
"This level of pollution... Even the heir can't bear it!"
"Who said we have to bear it?" Huiyin laughed,
"This is to let everything decay, and then be reborn in the pollution!"
As he said that, he waved his hand violently.
Countless tentacles attacked like poisonous snakes.
Li Yang immediately activated [World Devourer].
A black vortex appeared in the air, trying to devour those tentacles.
However, this time, the effect was extremely limited.
Not only were those tentacles not devoured, but they climbed up along the power of the vortex.
"Be careful!"
Xia Yuan shouted.
The power of the Golden Crow burst out instantly, forcing the tentacles back.
But soon, more tentacles came from all directions.
And they were still multiplying and splitting.
In the blink of an eye, the entire space was covered by a huge net.
"Now..." Huiyin said proudly, "See where you can run!"
Li Yang calmly observed the tentacle network that was spreading around.
Each tentacle was constantly splitting and growing, emitting a disgusting smell of decay.
He whispered,
"It seems that you have not only polluted the divine power, but also your own consciousness."
Gray Silver grinned:
"This is evolution! Only in complete decay can a true new life be born!"
