"Is it over there?"
Chu Rui took a deep breath and calmed himself down. The most powerful enemy was about to appear. This enemy might be even more powerful than the Venerable Skeletal Dragon, and he would be killed instantly if he was careless. Even though he had changed to a hidden profession, he still had no chance of winning. After all, Chu Rui was just a level-30 newbie, and he would not be able to do much in the face of such a powerful opponent. The key factor in this battle was still the White Pope.
Back then, when he killed the Venerable Skeletal Dragon, there were many factors involved. Among them, his strength had skyrocketed to the Epic Tier and even the Legendary Tier. Now, such a good thing was not going to happen. Although the White Pope was there, it was still difficult for him to deal with the Seven Great Demons. The Evil Demon that could subdue the Seven Great Demons would definitely be stronger. Therefore, to Chu Rui, this battle was really difficult, and it was basically impossible for him to win. However, even so, Chu Rui did not back down at all. It was very important for a man to retreat when necessary and size up the situation. However, for a person, it was not the only way to retreat. There were some things that one had to face even if one knew the consequences.
Chu Rui had received such a huge favor from the White Pope, and he was touched by the loneliness and relief that the Chief Judge of the Heresy Court had shown before his death. He admired the relationship between the White Pope and his brothers, as well as the loyalty of the Sanguine Knights and God's followers. Even if he couldn't free them, he still had to do his part. At least, he had tried his best, and he had a clear conscience. The path of a powerhouse did not care about how many thorns there were, how many obstacles there were, or even failure. What mattered was whether one had the heart to keep moving forward. The more setbacks one faced, the braver one became. What Chu Rui wanted was not invincible strength, but an invincible heart. Even if one had invincible strength, they would only be invincible for the moment, and there would definitely be people who would surpass them in the future. However, with an invincible heart, one would be invincible in the end.
No matter how terrifying this demon was, Chu Rui would definitely not back down. Moreover, there might be a piece of the Forbidden Set hidden in the demon's hands. Chu Rui had to get the Forbidden Set no matter the cost. He would definitely not let it go.
He slowly approached. Even though the demon might have discovered them, he still had to be careful. This was the demon's home ground, and Chu Rui did not dare to be careless.
With the White Pope's extremely sharp spiritual sense, Chu Rui was slightly relieved. In this situation, the chance of being ambushed......
As they continued forward, they quickly reached the deepest part. This place was like an altar-like existence. There were nine huge stone pillars that looked like they were supporting the sky. Many mysterious runes and secret drawings were engraved on them. However, all of them were incomparably ferocious and cruel. Under this terrifying dark aura lingering, groups of evil spirits and crazy devils seemed as if they were about to break away from the stone pillars. It was very terrifying.
There was a little light above the altar. It was extremely dazzling in the hazy black fog. This altar was an octagonal object, and each of its corners had a barbed spike that was at least ten feet long. It was covered in blood red, and there was no need to mention the fishy smell. It was definitely real blood. After passing through the ten pillars, they arrived at the bottom of the altar. Following the narrow and long stairs, Chu Rui felt an incomparably cold wind. It was as if it wanted to soak into his heart. He could not help but shiver.
"What a powerful evil aura. What a powerful resentment. This altar has condensed the resentment and souls of countless creatures. It seems this demon is not that simple. " The White Pope's pupils shrank. This terrifying man did not reveal such an expression when he was besieged by the Seven Great Demons. Now, he had never met him. Just by looking at the altar, he had become like this. From this, it could be seen how powerful the demon was.
Chu Rui's heart sank.
If even the White Pope was like this, it seemed that this was not a battle. It was a massacre without any resistance!
What was to come would come in the end!
Chu Rui's expression did not change. He continued to stride up the altar.
No matter what the result was, he, Chu Rui, would never do something as embarrassing as running away. This was not a strategy that could be defeated by a cunning "strategic" retreat. You could deceive others, but you could not deceive your own heart.
The altar was very large and very tall. Chu Rui walked for a full three minutes before he reached it. Looking at the height, he estimated that it was at least a hundred meters.
The top of the altar was very flat, like a smooth mirror. There were no other external objects on the altar. There was only something like an array platform in the center of the altar. There was something floating above it. As the black fog above was too thick, Chu Rui could not see what it was.
"Don't go over there. The demon is there!"
Just as Chu Rui was about to go over and check it out, the White Pope stopped him. With a wave of his hand, a white light suddenly scattered and entered Chu Rui's eyes. As the strange light entered, Chu Rui instinctively closed his eyes. After two seconds, he did not feel any discomfort. When he opened his eyes, Chu Rui found that his field of vision had become very wide. The black fog that blocked his vision had become thinner. He could see the array platform in the center at a glance. The thing above the array platform was suppressing, as well as the black figure beside it.
Dressed in a black robe, the figure was not tall, and the figure was very thin. This was what Chu Rui saw. If that was the case, there was nothing to be afraid of at all. The figure of a bamboo pole could be easily trampled on by a burly man. However, what he sensed was another extreme. Just by looking at the thin figure, Chu Rui felt like he was looking at a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His ears were filled with endless howls. The terrifying sound that made one's soul tremble was like an invisible sword that stabbed into one's mind and stirred it.
"Don't touch him!"
A gentle and warm energy flowed into his body, expelling the terrifying phenomenon. Chu Rui panted heavily. The White Pope's voice sounded in his ears.
Drenched in cold sweat, Chu Rui took a deep breath and no longer dared to touch the thin figure with his spiritual sense. Even though his mental strength was abnormal, he was still unable to withstand the mental attack of such a terrifying existence. No, the demon did not even launch any attacks. Just his own resentment and baleful aura alone was enough to cause Rui to suffer such a huge loss. Chu Rui's face turned pale in the face of such a terrifying enemy.
