At the same time, in the extreme north of the Demon Continent, Han Province, which was tens of thousands of miles away from the Central Dynasty, there was a glacier canyon that was covered in silver all year round. It was filled with black mist, rolling like sticky ink.
If someone who had entered the Demon Abyss ten years ago was here, he would definitely recognize that this canyon was the entrance to the Demon Abyss.
In the air above an open space deep in the canyon, a silver-haired old man in a green robe with a yellowish complexion was floating in the air.
The whistling cold wind with a large amount of black mist slapped on the old man's robe, making a flapping sound.
Above his head, there was a gray whirlpool that was about three meters in size. It was rotating slowly and emitting thick black mist.
The old man was chanting in a low and obscure voice. He kept waving his hands, and every once in a while, he would make a hand sign that flashed into the gray whirlpool.
If one observed carefully, they would find that every time the old man made a hand sign, the gray whirlpool would expand a little, and the speed of rotation would also increase a little.
After a while, a low roar suddenly came from the gray whirlpool!
Then, a huge dark red palm slowly stretched out, followed by a whole dark red arm. However, this dark red skin looked extremely broken. Dark muscles and yellow liquid could be seen oozing out from the broken areas.
Then, another arm also reached out, followed by a huge head with white light in its eyes …
Seeing this, the silver-haired old man's eyes flashed with joy. He even slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and he even muttered to himself,
"Very good! It's about time to start … "
As soon as his voice trailed off, a vast expanse of dense white light suddenly flashed within the surging black mist around him. There were at least several thousand of them.
…
Demon Palace, Heartless Palace.
On the central altar, Huangfu Yong's eyes were closed, and a purple light floated above his head.
A purple light flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. He could clearly see that there was a fist-sized purple bead in the purple light. It looked crystal clear and emitted a dazzling light. Soon, it condensed into a purple cloud that was a few feet in size.
Huangfu Yong kept waving his hands and casting spells into the purple clouds. From time to time, he chanted an incantation that was hard to understand.
The purple cloud in the sky grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it had become dozens of feet in size.
Huangfu Yong's body gradually lit up, and his body faintly emitted the powerful spiritual pressure of the Metaphysic Realm. At the same time, his expression became serious.
Liu Ming's expression changed slightly.
Apart from the golden demonic corpse at the foot of the Demonic Abyss Tower, no one else could match up to this level of magic power spiritual pressure.
As for the Golden Devil Corpse, he already had one foot in the Immortal Realm.
No one knew when, but Huangfu Yong had already risen into the air and hovered above the altar. A large amount of purple flames surged out of his body. He waved his hands and cast out purple spells into the statue at the center of the altar.
In mid-air, Huangfu Yupo and the other two mighty figures in the Mystic Enlightening realm also began to move.
Huangfu Yupo twisted his waist and flicked his sleeve, causing a ball of fist-sized light to shoot out and enter into the four devil beast statues around the altar. Huangfu Zhantian and the other silver haired man did the same.
"Hum!"
The entire palace suddenly shook, and a purple twelve-sided array appeared under the altar. The structure of the array was extremely complicated. Every time a light flashed, countless demonic patterns would appear and disappear.
Moreover, a finger-thick purple light shot out from each corner of the array, connecting the four statues around the hall. At this moment, palm-sized runes appeared on the surface of the four statues.
At the same time, pure demonic qi emerged from the surrounding walls of the Heartless Palace and continuously flowed into the array at the center.
In mid-air, the Demon King suddenly shouted and waved his hands.
The purple cloud in mid-air suddenly expanded several times and covered the top of the altar.
With a cracking sound, the purple crystal bead in the cloud shattered and turned into a mass of purple crystal beads. Most of them fused with the purple cloud, while a small portion flew down and turned into five strands, fusing with the five statues on the altar.
The five statues were set ablaze, and their red eyes lit up.
"Roar!"
With a deafening roar, a human-shaped phantom and four devil beast phantoms flew out from the statues. The four devil beast phantoms had human bodies and beast heads, and their claws were surrounded by demonic flames. The human-shaped phantom in the center was holding an iron spear.
The five phantoms wandered in mid-air for a moment, and they flew into the purple cloud above the altar in a flash.
Huangfu Yong's body flickered with purple light, and an extremely complicated demonic pattern slowly appeared on his forehead.
In the next moment, a purple light beam shot out from the demonic pattern on his forehead and entered the purple cloud in mid-air.
A series of rumbling sounds came from the purple cloud, and at the same time, the purple cloud started to compress and condense in the middle.
After a few breaths, the purple cloud had shrunk by half, but the light it emitted was getting brighter.
Huangfu Yupo, Huangfu Yupo, and the others raised their hands high, and two rays of light shot out from their palms, merging into the purple cloud in mid-air. They seemed to be controlling something.
As time passed, the purple cloud in mid-air became smaller and more dazzling, and the rumbling sounds were getting louder and louder.
On the platform, all the Clan Heads were watching the situation on the altar without blinking.
The Clan Heads of the three prestigious clans, who were sitting at the front, looked at the cloud in mid-air with a trace of envy in their eyes.
Liu Ming looked at everything in front of him with a calm expression, but his heart was restless and had some doubts at the same time.
If Mo Tian wanted to do something to this ceremony, why didn't he make a move yet?
His eyes turned and looked at the dozen or so Huangfu Clan descendants sitting cross-legged on the altar, and his eyes flickered.
Among these people, apart from Zhao Qianying, who had her eyes closed as if she had entered cultivation, the others might be sitting quietly, but their faces were more or less filled with unease and anticipation. They would look at the purple cloud in mid-air from time to time.
Right at this moment, the purple cloud in mid-air let out a loud rumbling sound.
The cloud abruptly shrunk and expanded, and the purple light suddenly burst out.
In the cloud, a huge purple cauldron shadow flashed out and then disappeared again!
On the platform, the Clan Heads of the three prestigious clans had a change of expression as they stared at the purple cauldron phantom with a strange glint in their eyes.
"Could that be the Void Demon Cauldron …" Liu Ming's expression also changed.
The purple cauldron might have only flashed by, but the image was already deeply engraved in his eyes.
"That cauldron, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before …" Liu Ming's eyes revealed a trace of hesitation. He glanced at Zhao Qianying, who was on the altar, and his body trembled.
He recalled that Zhao Qianying's powerful artifact, the small purple cauldron that shone brilliantly in the Devil Abyss Mystic Realm, looked extremely similar to the Void Demon Cauldron that flashed by just now.
"It should be an imitation created by the Devil Sovereign to imitate the Void Demon Cauldron." Liu Ming guessed.
At this moment, the purple cloud in mid-air changed again.
After the purple cauldron phantom flashed, the purple light in the cloud flashed continuously. A moment later, the outline of two huge purple eyes that were several meters in size were condensed. However, it couldn't be seen clearly because of the cloud.
Liu Ming's expression changed, and he suddenly shuddered.
This was the strange feeling that he had when he entered the Chilling Heart Palace, and now it resurfaced again.
In the sky above the altar, Huangfu Yong and the others became unusually solemn after the huge purple eyes appeared.
They chanted, and the light that shot out from their palms immediately became thicker.
Huangfu Yong chanted, and the demonic tattoo on his forehead flashed and flew into the cloud in mid-air.
The huge purple eyes moved slightly, and then slowly opened.
Two purple light beams suddenly shot out and landed on the arena below.
The purple light beam shrouded a handsome young man from the Huangfu Family who seemed to be only in his twenties.
The handsome young man's expression changed, and a moment later, a slight trace of pain appeared on his face.
The purple light beam stayed on his body for a moment, and then quickly moved away, landing on a thin young man next to him.
The handsome young man from before opened his eyes, and there was a depressed look on his face.
The light beam stayed on the thin young man for a moment, a little longer than when it landed on the first handsome young man, but then moved away again.
"So that's the choice," thought Liu Ming secretly. He looked at the pair of eyes in the purple cloud, and his heart was full of thoughts.
On the platform, most of the people had not seen this ceremony of the Central Imperial Family. When they chose Huangfu Liushui, they didn't invite so many family leaders to come and watch.
Therefore, today's opportunity was very rare, and everyone was quite excited.
Gao Herui looked at the purple eyes in mid-air, and his eyes flickered as if he was thinking of something, but after a moment, he sighed in a low voice, as if he was a little disinterested, and closed his eyes.
Kong Xiangwu and the Long Family Leader looked relatively calm, and there was no change in their expressions.
On the altar, the purple light beam swept across the group of Huangfu Family disciples, and the time it stayed on the Huangfu Family disciples varied.
After the purple light beam moved away from a middle-aged man in the middle stage of Celestial Cultivation, it fell on Zhao Qianying.
Zhao Qianying's delicate body trembled, and a moment later, a purple demonic rune appeared on her forehead, emitting a faint light.
The purple light beam that shrouded her suddenly flickered, as if responding to it, and some faint purple runes appeared in the light beam, faintly discernible.
This was the first time the purple light beam had such a change. Huangfu Yong, Huangfu Yupo, and the others' expressions changed, especially Huangfu Yupo, who showed a surprised and happy smile.
The group of direct descendants on the altar saw this scene, and their expressions changed, especially Huangfu Jiangu. The purple light beam hadn't moved on his body, but there was a faint trace of resentment and unwillingness in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Qianying.
The purple light beam stayed on Zhao Qianying for a full 15 minutes. Suddenly, Zhao Qianying frowned, and a trace of pain appeared on her face. The purple demonic rune on her forehead flashed, and then disappeared without a trace.
The purple runes in the light beam that shrouded her body also dissipated.
