"This is …" Shen Luo retracted his gaze from the dog demon and looked at the Bull Demon in surprise.
"Previously, the Demons wanted to attack the Emerald Cloud Mountain. This guy relied on his Late-stage True Immortal cultivation and kept shouting outside. He was too noisy, so I captured him alive and locked him in the cave residence," the Bull Demon said.
"His cultivation is just right, enough to substitute for the calamity. Without further ado, let's enter the array. I will teach you the incantation to activate the array, then we can begin the calamity, "Shen Luo said.
Everyone responded in unison.
Shen Luo walked to the center of the array and stomped his foot. The entire altar shook.
The stone pillar in the center was repelled by this force and rose up several inches by itself. Shen Luo put his foot under it and gently lifted it up, lifting the three feet tall stone platform into the air.
He turned his hand and took out the Sea Suppressing Steel Rod. He struck it on the ground and caught the falling stone pillar.
Then, he picked up the dog demon dressed as a Taoist and threw him under the stone pillar with his back against the Steel Rod.
The poor dog demon could not move and could not speak. He could only look at the Bull Demon with pleading eyes and whimper.
The Bull Demon ignored him and waved his hand. The Red Boy's head was shrouded in the light cast by the Sea Calming Pearl and was sent to the stone pillar above the Steel Rod.
Shen Luo and the other three also flew up and each landed on a stone pillar and sat cross-legged.
"After I inject my mana into the Steel Rod, Senior Bull Demon can inject mana into the Sea Calming Pearl at the same time. You don't need to inject too much mana into the Sea Calming Pearl. After that, you can recite the incantation," Shen Luo said after sitting down.
The other three nodded, indicating that they understood.
Shen Luo told them the content of the spell through voice transmission. Then, he started to make a gesture with one hand and infused a stream of spiritual power into the Sea Suppressing Vajra Iron Staff. The staff began to emit a golden light.
Seeing this, the Bull Demon immediately injected his mana into the Dinghai Pearl, causing it to emit an even more brilliant blue light.
At the same time, Shen Luo and the other three also began to chant incantations.
Following the incantations, the four of them began to pour their magic power into the stone pillars beneath them.
The runes on the stone pillars were ignited by the magic power and lit up with a blood-red glow.
Immediately afterward, the runes engraved on the ground of the altar also lit up. A blood-red light penetrated from the ground, like a cluster of flames burning. The stone pillar supported by the Sea Suppressing Vajra Steel Rod also began to light up with a red light.
Red Boy, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone pillar with his upper body naked, had a stiff expression on his face. He was obviously nervous.
His throat moved slightly as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He lowered his head to look at the Demon-Soaking Pearl on his chest.
Until now, nothing had happened to the Demon-Soaking Pearl. However, the runes engraved on it seemed to have sensed the influence of the spell and began to flicker slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Luo nodded at the few of them.
After receiving the order, the few of them moved in unison. At the same time, they raised one of their palms and pushed it towards the Red Boy in the middle.
A stream of spiritual power condensed in the middle of their palms and hit the Red Boy.
"Ugh …" The Red Boy groaned and immediately frowned.
The Demon-Soaking Pearl embedded in his chest finally sensed danger. The runes engraved on the surface of the pearl suddenly lit up brightly. It looked like the entire Demon-Soaking Pearl was about to explode.
At this moment, Shen Luo suddenly shouted, "Rise!"
In the next moment, the red light that lit up on the surrounding stone pillars and the ground began to surge towards the stone pillar in the middle like a tide. It circled into a spiral vortex, surrounding the Red Boy, the stone pillar, and the Dog Demon in the middle.
A strange energy seeped out from it and surged into the Red Boy's body. The light from the runes on the Demon-Soaking Pearl dimmed as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, the Bull Demon King's taut heartstrings relaxed a little.
"Don't relax. We've temporarily suppressed the restriction. We're going to try to separate the Demon-Soaking Pearl," Shen Luo reminded them.
Hearing this, everyone immediately became nervous again.
At this moment, Shen Luo transmitted his voice to the Red Boy and said, "This is the most crucial step. Once we successfully separate it, there's no need to talk about it. However, if we fail, you have to use all your strength to suppress the Demon-Soaking Pearl for a moment. I'll use an escape technique to take you away from Thunder Swarm Mountain."
After hearing this, the Red Boy could not hide the nervousness in his eyes. He nodded at Shen Luo.
Shen Luo's expression turned serious. His hands quickly formed a seal and he suddenly grabbed at the void.
The red light vortex that enveloped Red Boy's body sank inwards, forming a vortex. A palm condensed from illusory light appeared out of thin air. It reached into the vortex and grabbed the Demon-Soaking Pearl embedded in his body.
As Shen Luo let out a low shout, his palm suddenly exerted strength and pulled violently.
"Ah …" The Red Boy immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"You must hold it in. Guard your Divine Sense." Shen Luo roared and increased the strength in his hand.
Under his pull, the flesh on the Red Boy's chest bulged. The Demon-Soaking Pearl also began to separate from his flesh bit by bit.
However, this situation did not last long. The Demon-Soaking Pearl, which had been relatively stable, suddenly seemed to be stimulated. A layer of pitch-black light suddenly lit up on its surface. Wisps of thick black gas began to dissipate.
Fortunately, the red light vortex around them restrained it. It did not really spread. Instead, it condensed outside the Red Boy's body and did not dissipate for a long time.
At the same time, the black veins that spread out like the roots of a tree on the Red Boy's body began to move. However, they did not look like they were being uprooted. Instead, they spread even more fiercely and rapidly to other places. It seemed like they wanted to dig deeper into the roots of the Demon-Soaking Pearl.
The Demon-Soaking Pearl that Shen Luo had just pulled out shrank again. A small part of it actually shrank back into the flesh.
"What's going on?" The Bull Demon's heart tensed up as he hurriedly asked.
"The Demon-Soaking Pearl realized that we were trying to pull it out and is trying to resist. Its escape route has been sealed by the formation. It can only try to completely take over the Red Boy's body, "Shen Luo explained.
"What should we do then?" The Bull Demon asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about it. It's just a tug-of-war. Listen to my command later. Pull it out in one go and seal it in that demon dog's body," Shen Luo said.
With that said, he changed his hand seals again. The Yellow Court Scripture in his body circulated and his hands pulled outwards at the same time.
A strong force burst forth from his body. This time, the Demon-Soaking Pearl was directly pulled out of the Red Boy's body. It dragged black threads behind it, struggling and twisting like a living thing.
These threads had long been connected to the blood vessels in the Red Boy's body. The slightest pull would cause intense pain. With Shen Luo's forceful pull, it was like opening the opening of a flood of pain.
A wave of unbearable, intense pain surged forth and instantly drowned the Red Boy. He let out a miserable cry. After his eyes were bloodshot, he suddenly flipped over and lost consciousness.
