Chapter 360: Deity Avatars Descend

“Xue Ying, what should we do?” Jing Qiu felt anxious.
“What can we do?” Xue Ying shook his head. “Had I any way of doing so, I would’ve acted long ago. They’ve already refined the entire Oceanic Forest World and can operate it firmly. The only thing I can do now is to prepare. The readier I am, the better it’ll be. We have no choice on this matter; the initiative is in their hands. I can only wait and see. Even so, the longer they wait, the bigger our advantage.”
“Mn.” Jing Qiu nodded.
They had been schemed upon twice—first through the hexing poison, and then in the way of the devil-exterminating grade God Thunderfire. The other party clearly wanted to destroy the Xia Clan, but they had no way of retaliating!
The Sorcerer God and the Great Demonic God were both very firm. For the duration of this very crucial period, the innermost region of the castle in Oceanic Forest World was forbidden to anyone’s entrance. In truth, the Xia Clan had no spies within the Beast Clan—it was tough to place any double agents inside due to their racial differences. If not for the Elder Ao Lan’s True Meaning of Life, the Beast Clan would also have been unable to place spies within the Xia Clan.
There was an air of excitement among the Transcendents inside the Xia Capital. The previous explosion had occurred in mid-air just outside the Infernal Palace, so many people had seen it. Such a terrifying explosion had been easily dealt with, giving them a greater sense of confidence.
“Our Xia Clan’s foundation is indeed extraordinary.”
“The ancestral Deities of our Xia Clan have made plenty of preparations.” Everyone was extremely excited. Those who knew the truth, such as Jing Qiu’s Magic Avatar or Palace Head Chen, kept to themselves.
The matter of Xue Ying was ultimately still a secret.

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed. It had now been twenty-five years since Xue Ying entered Crimson Rock Mountain, and he had been on Crimson Dust Island for more than twenty years.

The blood lake within that castle was starting to dry up, with only small amounts of the bloody liquid still bubbling. Lying in the center of that lake was a giant about eight meters in height with a vast aura. His chest was rising and lowering methodically, accentuating his slow but strong breathing. The gigantic illusory skull of the Demonic God appeared by the side of the lake, his laughter ringing out for all to hear. “Haha, I’ve finally succeeded. The fleshy body is complete.”
“You’ve kept me waiting,” the illusory golden-robed male mouthed from the side. “Great Demonic God, since your fleshy body is done, we can commence with the plan.”
“Mn, let’s begin our descent,” the illusory skull bellowed.

A maelstrom appeared above that humanoid figure, which was connected to the distant and ancient Dark Abyss.
The Dark Abyss was a plane which existed alongside the Deity world. It contained countless demons, Demonic Gods, and even many existences much stronger than the Great Demonic Gods. If the descent of an ordinary Demonic God through a World Projection would create a huge disturbance, a Great Demonic God’s Deity Avatar would actually not be so noticeable, since its towering might could be controlled and curbed.
This was the power of having control.
Hua.
A bloody, indistinct illusory figure came flying out of the maelstrom and moved immediately into the fleshy body. The humanoid body slowly opened its eyes, showing their blood-red fiery irises. He then floated upward where, in mid-air, his body began transforming. Two long horns spawned from his head, and his face became thinner. The scales on his body also underwent a change.
Once his transformation was done, a terrifying demonic body could be seen standing in mid-air, displaying a beauty akin to an art piece or that of someone who conformed with the Laws of the World.
Hong! Blood-red flames then began flaring from every single part of his body.
The flames completely enveloped his fleshy body, making his entire original form indistinct. Only that single flaming figure was visible as he stood there in the air. He then began descending slowly until he finally touched the ground.
Hu…”The air of a mortal world…is truly nostalgic!” the flaming figure said. He casually waved his arm, only to feel the vast unseen laws suppress and even faintly attempt to eject him from the world. As long as he willed it, with likely a single thought, he could follow this force of repulsion and leave the mortal world.
“The material world is still not accepting my presence in the least.
“This entire space is covered in the suppression of laws.” The fiery figure gritted his teeth. “Had this fleshy body not been made from a native of this world, I would not even have been able to descend into this body. Even if I try to move this body slightly, I will be met by this sense of suppression.”
Anyone who descended into a Deity Avatar would feel this sullen.
They would be completely suppressed! The fleshy body was suppressed. Their strength was suppressed; their speed was suppressed!
