Inside the palace, Ling Xian opened his eyes. They were shining with heavenly light that could capture people's souls.
This made the saintess lower her head and she didn't dare to look at him.
"You are here because the ceremony is about to begin?" Ling Xian's expression was calm, but his eyes were heavy.
The beginning of the ceremony meant he was about to experience a tough test. If he succeeds, he will command the entire demonic house. If he fails, he will lose his life.
"That's right. In half an hour, the ceremony will begin. The Supreme Headmaster told me to take you there." The saintess smiled.
"Then let's go." Ling Xian grinned and stood up.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was walking towards the gates of hell. But he had no choice.
Right now, more than half of the seventh leveled cultivators were staring at him. He had no chance to escape. The only thing he could do was to go to the place of the ceremony and gamble.
If they see through his identity, then he will find a chance to escape.
"Senior, please follow me." The saintess extended her arms and left the palace.
"I hope everything goes well." Ling Xian sighed and followed.
Along the way, the disciples of the Demonic House whispered to each other. Their words were full of mockery, mocking Ling Xian for overestimating himself.
Though these people's voices were soft and almost inaudible, they couldn't escape Ling Xian's ears.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this. He didn't think his not-so-strong evaluation would turn into someone so weak.
"This is the power of rumors." Ling Xian exclaimed.
"I'm sorry. Though I didn't spread the rumor, it has something to do with me." The saintess's face was red. She didn't think his not-so-strong evaluation would turn into someone so weak.
This difference was very big, and it directly turned dissatisfaction into hostility.
"It's okay. If it can't withstand a single attack, then it can't. It's not wrong." Ling Xian brandished his hand. To him, a not-so-strong array was weak.
Hearing this, the saintess was unhappy. She didn't think Ling Xian would be so arrogant.
That was one of the strongest arrays in the Xuan Wu Continent. Who dares to say it can't withstand a single attack?
In the hearts of the disciples of the Demon Sect, this array formation was their guardian. Naturally, the Saintess was displeased.
However, she didn't say anything and continued to lead the way.
Ling Xian didn't speak. Other than seriousness in his eyes, there was anticipation.
He really wanted to see if the ceremony was as he guessed.
After a while, he and the Saintess landed in a valley.
This place was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and white mist lingered around it. Formation patterns could be faintly seen within, releasing a power that made one's heart palpitate.
However, Ling Xian was unmoved.
As long as it was an array formation, it was nothing in the eyes of an array formation grandmaster like him.
What moved him was the altar on the ground, as well as the strange and evil patterns.
Demonic Qi rose and evil aura pervaded the air. The altar released a mysterious power, as if a peerless demon was hibernating there, causing one to tremble with fear.
Even for someone as strong as Ling Xian, he felt cold all over, as if he was being stared at by an ancient beast.
"What a familiar altar …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes and stared at the strangely shaped altar. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
However, he couldn't think of anything at the moment.
"Elder Ling is here. Everyone, please follow me to greet him." The leader of the House of Demons opened his mouth and stared at Ling Xian.
"He's the new Grand Elder? Even if I don't use the translucent bone mirror, I can still see that he's very young. "
"Such a young seventh leveled cultivator. This person has terrifying natural talent."
"Hmmph, this person is far too arrogant. One of the strongest foundations of the House of Demons is being called weak by him."
Many Grand Elders chimed in. Some complimented and admired, others were unsatisfied.
"It is no wonder the House of Demons has been here for 100,000 years. What shocking capabilities."
Looking at the 30 seventh leveled cultivators, Ling Xian's pupils constricted in shock.
To know that seventh leveled cultivators were very rare. It was already good enough for a top force to have three. Yet the House of Demons had 30. Doesn't that mean they were equivalent to 10 top forces?
With this level of capability, it was no wonder they were glorious for 100,000 years. Even though they were destroyed again and again, they could still rise again!
"What do you think? The capabilities of the House of Demons have caught your eye, don't you?" The leader of the House of Demons' gaze was deep. His tone was both arrogant and warning.
"It truly is extraordinary. It is no wonder you dare to fight against the entire Xuan Wu Continent." Ling Xian softly nodded. Hearing the warning in the leader's voice, he couldn't help but to laugh.
"The foundation of the House of Demons is not just 30 seventh leveled cultivators."
The leader of the House of Demons stared at Ling Xian, "Very soon, you will witness the true power of the House of Demons."
"Oh really? I am honored." Ling Xian grinned and was at ease.
This made the leader of the House of Demons nervous again. He really couldn't tell if Ling Xian was truly confident or if he was pretending to be calm.
If it was the latter, then he was a little too good at acting.
The leader of the House of Demons felt helpless and too lazy to say more. After all, he would soon find out the answer.
"It's about time. Elders, let's begin."
The expression of the Demon Sect's Sect Master turned solemn, and the Supreme Elders turned solemn as well.
Then, other than Ling Xian, everyone forced out a drop of the purest blood from their hearts.
Light bloomed and heavenly energy filled the air. Drops of blood floated in midair and emitted shocking vibrations.
This made Ling Xian look shocked, thinking that these people sure were willing to sacrifice so much.
Blood Essence was the essence of a living being. If one lost a drop, it would be impossible to replenish it without several years.
After forcing out their blood, everyone's face turned pale. However, their eyes were full of passion.
"Let us use our most sincere hearts to summon the almighty Demon Master!"
The leader of the House of Demons shouted and formed a strange hand seal.
Everyone did the same and injected their blood into the altar.
Like a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth, the sacrificial altar swallowed all the Blood Essence, yet it remained calm and didn't move at all.
This made everyone shake their heads and smile bitterly. Though they expected this, they still felt bitter.
"Aye, summoning the Demon Master sure is difficult."
The leader of the House of Demons sighed and shifted his gaze to everyone, "Everyone, let's force out another drop of blood."
Hearing this, though everyone was unwilling, there was nothing they could do. They could only force out another drop of blood.
This time, the altar moved. An infinite amount of demonic energy poured out and an eerie atmosphere descended.
In the next second, a demonic silhouette materialized. It was indescribable and indescribably terrifying.
It was as if a demon had descended. His demonic energy swallowed all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell!
"He has descended! My Lord has finally descended!"
"This supreme demonic aura is truly unparalleled and undefeatable!"
"Haha, with the Demon Lord leading us, our Demon Sect will definitely be able to sweep across the Black Tortoise Continent and dominate the world!"
The eyes of the Demon Sect Master and the others were filled with fervor. Without saying anything, they knelt on the ground. It could be seen how much respect they had for this demonic figure.
Ling Xian was the only one who didn't kneel. Sensing the familiar atmosphere, he frowned.
Just like the altar, he felt that he had sensed this aura somewhere before.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the will of the Demonic Lord finally descended. Then, this unparalleled being froze.
In the next second, the sky was filled with demonic energy. Accompanied by angry words, it headed straight for Ling Xian!
"It's you!"
