Chapter 1888: Breakthrough! (1/2)
Without a doubt, the blood-red light was the glow of the Blood Eye Devil Stele Huang Xiaolong had already refined in the past.
Lu Xiaoqing and the rest were stunned for a moment.
When Huang Xiaolong retrieved his hand, the black light returned to his body.
“Alright. All of you should wait for me at the foot of this hill.” Huang Xiaolong turned around and said to Gao Changran, Wang Fanning, and the rest.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Everyone acknowledged respectfully before bowing towards Huang Xiaolong. Without waiting for further instructions, they returned to the foot of the hill.
As for the four odd beasts, they quickly spread out and formed a defensive perimeter around the hill.
Huang Xiaolong had no desire to take chances. Even though the four odd beasts were already standing guard at the foot of the hill, he summoned all fourteen radiance angels and all one hundred Undead Netherguards. They stood all around him in case any accidents happened when he tried to refine the Myriad Curses Devil Stele.
After getting himself ready by sucking in a long breath, Huang Xiaolong’s body shot through the air and appeared in the space above the Myriad Curses Devil Stele. He sat down and started to circulate the energy of the Blood Eye Devil Stele.
As the Blood Eye Devil Stele’s blood-red eyes opened, a bloody light burst out from his body. Countless rays of blood-red light, along with the boundless darkness energy contained in the devil stele, came crashing down on the world.
The darkness energy contained in the Blood Eye Devil Stele enveloped the Myriad Curses Devil Stele below Huang Xiaolong.
At the same time, the body of the Devil Tower started to tremble.
Streams of light emerged from the Devil Tower, and it rained down on the Myriad Curses Devil Stele like silvery starlight.
With the assistance of the bloody light from the Blood Eye Devil Stele and the starlight from the Devil Tower, the once dormant Myriad Curses Devil Stele started to shake.
As though a sleeping volcano had been awakened, a ray of brilliant light broke out from the body of the Myriad Curses Devil Stele and charged into the nine heavens.
Even the calm space they were in started to tremble.
The tremors shocked everyone who was standing at the foot of the hill.
Without pausing for a moment, Huang Xiaolong circulated the full power of the Blood Eye Devil Stele and Devil Tower inside him.
As more and more rays of light emerged from the Myriad Curses Devil Stele, the curse runes on the stele lit up one by one.
Every single curse rune was like a mini sun, and the light they emitted was extremely eye-piercing.
Huang Xiaolong swallowed the energy coming from the Myriad Curses Devil Stele without end by hastily circulating the Grandmist Parasitic Medium.
Even though Huang Xiaolong already had the experience of refining the Blood Eye Devil Stele with the Devil Tower’s assistance, his body shook when the tyrannical darkness energy from the Myriad Curses Devil Stele rushed into his body.
The surge of energy from the Myriad Curses Devil Stele was irregular, and it even seemed a little stronger than the energy coming from the Blood Eye Devil Stele when he had refined it in the past.
Could it be that the six great Devil Steles are split into different ranks like the chaos lightning pools?
That’s not impossible…
Even though it wasn’t stated in the legends, Huang Xiaolong could feel that the energy contained in the Myriad Curses Devil Stele far outstripped the Blood Eye Devil Stele. Without a doubt, the Myriad Curses Devil Stele ranked higher than the Blood Eye Devil Stele.
A month quickly passed.
With the tempering from the Myriad Curses Devil Stele’s energy, Huang Xiaolong realized that the body of the Devil Tower in him was growing stronger and stronger. He was also slowly creeping towards the peak of the mid-Ninth Order Heavenly Monarch Realm.
The might of the Myriad Curses Devil Stele also seemed to resonate with the Heart of Hell, Yellow Springs Devil Robe, and Devil Gourd. The Heart of Hell seemed to pump harder, and the grandmist artifacts started to glow.
Previously, these two grandmist artifacts were damaged by Shi Ming’s palm. No matter how hard Huang Xiaolong had tried to repair them, he couldn’t completely restore them to the peak state. With the help of the Myriad Curses Devil Stele, they managed to restore themselves. In fact, it seemed as though their might had increased a little.
All of a sudden, three Archdevil phantoms appeared above Huang Xiaolong’s head as they opened their mouths to suck in the endless energy coming off the Myriad Curses Devil Stele.
An inexhaustible glow appeared around the three phantoms.
The trembling of the Myriad Curses Devil Stele soon increased.
Waves after waves of dark light emerged from the stele, and like a tsunami, or an eruption from a super volcano, they swallowed Huang Xiaolong. His body disappeared in the darkness, and from afar, it looked like an endless sea of black had taken over the area.
