Yun Fan immediately wanted to give chase. At the same time, Li Zixu also rushed forward.
However, both of them failed to catch up.
The speed of the golem was simply too fast. Even Li Zixu was unable to catch up with it.
"They got away!"
Li Zixu clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with regret and worry.
Yun Fan naturally knew what Li Zixu was worried about. The Demon Emperor and the Ancestor Demon Golem had escaped, leaving behind a future threat. Once the Demon Emperor Ye Ning recovered, he would definitely seek revenge. At that time, the enemy would be in the dark while they were in the light. It would be difficult to guard against them.
"It's fine. If they really dare to come back, we will naturally deal with them accordingly. It's no big deal!" Yun Fan calmly comforted.
Li Zixu softly chuckled. The former was so young, yet he had such a steady and determined heart. In comparison, an old man like him was really regressing with age.
Soon after, he suddenly looked in the direction of the Demon Palace and exclaimed, "Hurry up and save them!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed towards the interior of the Demon Palace.
Yun Fan and the rest immediately caught up and entered the interior of the Demon Palace together.
They easily discovered the altar of the Demons. At this moment, the huge Ancestor Demon Golem at the center of the altar was no longer there. Only five skeleton pillars stood in the surroundings.
Five people were tied to the five pillars with bone chains.
Everyone saw that the five people seemed to have completely fainted. There was no sound at all.
"Wan 'er!"
"Yuqing!"
The Ice Emperor, Zhan Wang and the rest cried out in alarm and rushed downwards. They wanted to save them as soon as possible and check on their condition.
However, not long after everyone stepped into the vicinity of the altar, a demonic purple glow suddenly erupted from the five skeleton pillars.
Immediately after, the five purple lights converged toward the center and gradually condensed into a miniature statue. The statue was of an old man from the Devil Clan. His face was like a withered skeleton, and it was extremely horrifying. Especially his eyes, which made people shudder when they looked at them.
"Ancestor Demon?"
Li Zixu could not help but cry out in alarm.
In the blink of an eye, the Ancestral Devil projection that had just condensed suddenly moved and shot towards the Ice Emperor and the Warlord. It was so fast that the latter two simply couldn't react in time.
"Devouring Power, Devour the Heavens!"
At this critical moment, a faint voice slowly reverberated in the domain. Soon after, a black dot appeared in front of the Ice Emperor and Zhan Wang. The black dot grew larger and larger, eventually forming a black hole. An indescribable devouring power continuously churn within the black hole.. cackle! cackle cackle!
Cackle!
The Ancestral Fiend energy golem seemed to know how terrifying the black hole was. It tried its best to change directions and escape.
"Humph, trying to escape?"
With a roar, Zhan Wang and Zhan Wang, Zhan Zhan Wang.... ccackle to cackle, the Ancestor Zhan Wang.
.. ccackle cackle...
. After a long while, the Ice Emperor and Zhan Wang heaved a sigh of relief. They looked gratefully at Xiang Yunfan.
If not for Yun Fan, they would have been dead for sure.
"This is likely a trap left behind by the Fiend Sovereign Ye Ning and the Ancestral Fiend. They want to catch us off guard while we are careless. If we fall for it and suffer heavy casualties, the Fiend Sovereign will make a comeback and wipe us all out!"
Li Zixu narrowed his eyes and explained as if relieved of a heavy burden.
With that said, he looked at Yun Fan and said worriedly, "That energy just now was extracted from the Ancestral Fiend's body. It's extremely domineering and powerful. How is it, Yun Fan? Can you control it?"
He naturally knew that devouring did not mean that the energy would disappear into thin air. If the user was not strong enough, too much energy would cause a backlash.
It was just like how Yun Fan dealt with the Nine-eyed Soul-Devouring Beast's remnant soul. The Nine-eyed Soul-Devouring Beast had absorbed too much energy, causing it to self-destruct.
Yun Fan shook his head and smiled. "Senior, don't worry. There's no problem with this energy."
Li Zixu nodded as he felt slightly more at ease. He said, "This energy will be beneficial to you as well. If you can absorb all of it for your own use, then it'll probably be more than enough for you to reach the late stage of the Great Void Ancient Realm.
However … the Ancestor Demon's energy is so domineering and terrifying. Purifying it will not be easy. "
"I will find a way to refine it!" Yun Fan said with certainty. The energy was indeed domineering. Even the current Emperor Fire could not completely refine and absorb it. However, he believed that he would find a way.
Li Zixu reminded him again. "Yun Fan, you must not rashly absorb it before completely purifying it. If you do, you might go mad and be completely controlled by the Ancestor Demon!"
"Senior, don't worry. I won't be reckless!" Yun Fan said.
After saying that, Yun Fan rushed to the side of a skeleton pillar and broke the bone chain on Su Mengqi's body to save her.
Carrying the unconscious Su Mengqi, Yun Fan placed his palm on her meridians. A wisp of Emperor Fire flowed through her body. However, he found that she was unharmed.
Yun Fan could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Master's wife! Master's wife, wake up! "
Yun Fan gently patted Su Mengqi's cheeks and gently shook her delicate body in an attempt to wake her up.
However, no matter how much Yun Fan called out, Su Mengqi seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. She could not wake up at all.
The same thing happened to the other four people.
Ling Yuewan, Bing Yuqing, Li Zixu's son, and the sacrificial girl with the wood-elemental constitution were still in a deep sleep. There were no signs of them waking up.
"Senior, what's going on?" Yun Fan asked anxiously.
Li Zixu looked at his son in his arms and sighed softly. He said in a deep voice, "They must have suffered serious internal injuries."
"Internal injuries? How is that possible? They were clearly fine when I checked. "Warlord hugged Ling Yuewan and said anxiously.
"The injuries I'm talking about are not ordinary injuries. They are injuries to their souls and foundations …" Li Zixu explained.
"Their souls … and foundations are injured?"
Li Zixu nodded slightly. "That's right. The sacrificial ritual has already begun. A portion of the souls and foundations of the five children have already been absorbed by the Ancestor Demon Golem. Fortunately, we arrived in time and prevented the Ancestor Demon from completely reviving. We managed to preserve the lives of the five children. If not …"
"Then what should we do now?"
"Yes, how can we restore them?"
Warlord and Ice Emperor asked anxiously.
Li Zixu said, "Unless we find the Ancestor Demon Golem and completely destroy it. Then, we can send the extracted souls and foundations back into the bodies of the five children."
