Within the illusion realm, above Profound Heaven Island, at the eye of the Great Fiendgod Formation.
Almost half a month had passed. Under the interference of the Reverse Wheel, the formation's speed had almost halved.
The golden light was no longer as dazzling as before. In the beginning, there was a faint aura of darkness seeping out. Now, there was a large amount of dark evil energy gathering at the eye of the formation.
In the sky, the nine Overgods were gathered there, silently staring at the eye of the formation as if waiting for something.
"Just a little bit more, but the formation will soon be unable to maintain the seal," Hephaestus said confidently.
"You seem very pleased with yourself. Don't you think you've wasted too much time? "Ares said impatiently.
Hephaestus frowned at the God of War. "There's no use explaining to a brute like you who only knows how to fight and kill. There's no way you can understand the power of the Great Fiendgod Formation."
Ares glared and was about to fly into a rage when he was stopped by a cold glare from Athena.
Athena glanced at the God of Fire and the God of War, telling them not to cause trouble. She then reached out with her jade arm and suddenly made a grabbing motion in the air.
A black shadow flashed in the air. Black Robe struggled, but as if he was grabbed by an invisible hand, Athena pulled him out of nowhere.
"Spare me, milord! Spare me … this lowly one didn't hide on purpose … "
The other Overgods' senses weren't as broad as Athena's. They couldn't help but feel puzzled when they saw Athena grab this guy.
Athena snorted coldly. "Sneaking around. Do you think I don't know where you are?"
Black Robe cried out carefully, "This lowly one didn't mean to offend you. I just didn't dare to disturb you, milords, so I watched from afar and didn't dare to approach."
Aphrodite asked curiously, "Athena, what is this thing? It doesn't seem human."
"It?"
Athena let go of Black Robe and said indifferently, "You can show your true form now. There's no need to hide anymore."
Black Robe didn't dare to tarry. A ball of black flame that looked like ghost fire ignited, completely incinerating the black robe and mask.
Very quickly, what appeared in front of the gods was actually a strange black shadow!
The shadow was shrouded in black mist, and its face could not be seen clearly. The outline was that of a human, but the head was an illusory skeleton.
This terrifying and sinister appearance had indeed stunned all the Gods for a moment. The female Master Gods even frowned in disgust.
"It's the messenger that Zeus contacted me for the past few years. It claims to be a type of ancient demon called the 'Shadow Fiend'. Although its strength is equivalent to the Weak Water stage of a cultivator, it's extremely good at disguising and hiding," Athena said.
"It's a primordial fiendish demon? How is this possible? It can run out of the formation!? "Hera questioned in disbelief.
The Shadow Fiend let out a few weird laughs, "Hehe … Respected Sir, actually this lowly one can't enter or leave the array, but … this lowly one is a little special compared to the other demons …"
After the Shadow Fiend's proud introduction, the other gods realized that the reason why the Shadow Fiend could stay outside the formation was that it had two "bodies"!
When the Shadow Fiend was born, there would be a main body and a shadow. Both the main body and the shadow were controlled by the Shadow Fiend, and their strength was the same.
Moreover, as long as the main body did not die, the shadow would have the chance to slowly be reborn.
When the ancient immortals drew all the demons into the array, this Shadow Fiend knew that it was no match for them, so it split its shadow, which was extremely good at hiding, and pretended to die in battle, secretly looking for an opportunity to slowly resurrect, while its main body was sealed in the array.
It was inevitable that the ancient immortals would make some mistakes. It was impossible for them to cover everything, and if they missed one or two small fish and shrimp, it was impossible for them to search the entire world. Therefore, it was very careful, and had allowed its shadow to live outside after a long period of time until now.
With its clones inside and outside the array, the Shadow Fiend became the communication channel between Athena and Zeus. Occasionally, it would help Athena deal with some matters that she did not need to show up herself.
"You've really hidden yourself well. So you've always been in contact with Zeus?" Hera sneered, obviously a little jealous.
Athena glanced at her. "It's just that we've only been in contact for the past two years. Because there's a barrier with its main body, and because it was afraid of encountering a cultivator that could kill it, its shadow woke up from a state of suspended animation, and it took hundreds of thousands of years. Before that, I'm also not sure about Zeus's situation in the array."
"In that case, Zeus has already subdued all the primordial demons in the array? Doesn't that mean that our race has suddenly gained a large number of slaves? "Hermes laughed evilly.
"Hmph, as far as I know, most of the primordial demons are just evil ghosts and shadows formed from evil Qi. They don't have a physical body, and their cultivation progress is extremely slow. They don't have much strength at all.
I'm afraid that this Shadow Fiend is already a very rare expert among the demons, and they're all a bunch of gloomy and ugly fellows. Moreover, they are all a bunch of gloomy and ugly fellows. If you want them as slaves, you can use them yourself. "Hera said disdainfully.
The Shadow Fiend listened by the side, and he cowered. Unfortunately, he really couldn't show any human expression, or he would definitely be blushing at this moment.
Indeed, he was already considered an expert among the demons. Some especially powerful primordial demons had already been killed by the immortals hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Now, although there were many primordial demons sealed in the array, there were indeed too few that could be put on the table. However, no matter how unbearable they were, even if they had to be humiliated by the God race just to get out, it was still better than being trapped in the array.
"With Zeus's strength, it's only natural that he subdued all the demons in the array and became their 'king'. But what I'm worried about is how his body has been maintained for the past twenty thousand years. After all, reincarnation can't get out of the array." Apollo looked slightly worried.
A strange light flashed in Athena's eyes. "He has his ways. When he comes out … you'll know …"
…
At the same time, on the Mediterranean Sea, the cold wind howled. Gray clouds hovered in the sky, lingering on.
Luo Qianqiu and the remaining dozen or so experts returned to the island, and the news they brought back was that Lin Ruoxi was Athena. This undoubtedly gave everyone a shock as if they were struck by lightning.
The women finally understood why Lin Ruoxi would leave Lanlan on the island at such a critical moment and disappear.
And the backbone, Yang Cheng, never returned after that battle. No one could find where Yang Cheng had gone, which made the women even more worried.
Lanlan lost her parents at the same time and cried for several days. In the end, there was no other way. Tang Wan, Qiangwei, and a few other more assertive women went to Hua Xia Hainan and forcibly invited Yang Gongming, Guo Xuehua, and a series of other Yang Family members to the island.
On one hand, the island was better off. On the other hand, Yang Cheng was not around at this time, so the Yang Family members could take care of them on the island.
When Guo Xuehua learned that Lin Ruoxi was Athena, she was furious. She felt that her son had been cruelly deceived. She was deeply worried and scolded Lin Ruoxi for being an ingrate, a vixen, and saying that she didn't have good intentions …
The women felt very upset when they heard this, but they also fell silent. Who could guarantee that Lin Ruoxi's actions were not her own thoughts? No one knew the inside story.
More than that, they felt sad for Yang Cheng and were secretly angry with Lin Ruoxi.
To Guo Xuehua, her daughter-in-law was secondary. She only cared that her only son was missing, and he was so pitifully hurt.
However, Guo Xuehua was not in the mood to care more. She only hoped that there would be news of Yang Cheng as soon as possible. Every day, she urged the people on the island to search all over the world.
But no matter the cultivators, Sauron, Ron, and other subordinates of Yang Cheng, if Yang Cheng wanted to hide, how could they find him? But Yang Cheng's mother had ordered them, so they could only bite the bullet and keep searching.
Yang Gongming didn't pay much attention to these. It seemed that it didn't matter what happened to Yang Cheng. He just thought of ways to make Lanlan happy all day long.
The chubby little girl sought warmth from her great-grandfather. She looked depressed and even lost interest in her favorite meal.
Time passed so hard for everyone.
Just two days later, there was a sudden change!
In the sky, a large number of dark gray shadows suddenly flew across the sky, like countless dark meteors across the sky, flying in countless directions!
When Luo Qianqiu, Liu Shiyuan, and other cultivators saw this scene, they all showed a solemn look and realized that the situation had become worse.
The demons were wreaking havoc on the world, and the array was finally broken!
