Chapter 376 - Song of the Dead (1/2)

"What is this?"

The demons startled when they saw Zhong Yue taking out a little wood puppet, no one knew what it was. At the far side, Shura and the other seven saint clan grand ancestors looked at one another and none of them knew what it was, either.

In the Ancestral Star, there was a huge gap in between the records of history, one that was caused by a drastic event hundreds of thousand years ago, which also caused the records regarding the Demon God Contracted Puppet to be lost in history.

Even the eight demon gods that founded the eight saint clans didn't know what a Demon God Contracted Puppet was and what use it had. Only the madman Feng Xiaozhong who dug the demon gods' graves would know what it was.

However, Shura and the other former demon gods were incredibly experienced, they were cautious and the drinking they had done with Zhong Yue had made them stand aside and not participate in the mission of killing Zhong Yue.

"May the great senior descend!" Zhong Yue bowed and he said solemnly.

As he bowed and his soul entered the Demon God Contracted Puppet, the little puppet floated into the sky on its own as if there was an unknown force moving it up from another dimension!

The little Demon God Contracted Puppet linked the Void World and the real world together, it was the pathway for the slumbering demon spirit to come, for him to descend down from the evervoid to the material world.

A bizarre energy seeped through from the Void World, putting immense pressure on the demons and the dimension around the little Demon God Contracted Puppet was distorted, making the little wood puppet appear bigger.

This was the dimensional space overlapping another, the little wood puppet was not a single inch bigger but it was the dimensional spaces around it that were overlapping one another, magnifying the size of the Demon God Contracted Puppet, making it bigger and bigger.

If a ten foot dimensional space was distorted, the Demon God Contracted Puppet would look as if it was ten foot tall but if a thousand feet was distorted, then the little puppet would look as if it was a thousand feet tall.

Such methods were not able to be casted by the mortal body but focused on one's ability to manipulate the dimensional space, way beyond the level of Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners' Avatar.

Many gods that had cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen could have done it but only if it was tens of feet. While this Demon God Contracted Puppet was magnified by thousands of feet, the dimensional space around was made bigger and pulled closer!

In everyone's eyes, this Demon God Contracted Puppet had grown into the size of a sky-piercing mountain, hovering above the yellow sands of the desert.

The demon god's aura was thickening, so strong that it even started disintegrating the yellow sands into nothingness, into thin air. With the disappearance of the yellow sands, the skeletons buried deep in the desert were exposed to the demons, the leftover bones suddenly stood up, millions of skeletons were across the desert, ornamenting the yellow land with countless white dots.

Demons, beasts, Qi Practitioners of other races and many others, there were more living things than anyone could count that died in this dreary land, buried deep down beneath the yellow sands.

And now, all of them stood up, those decapitated bodies, severed limbs, beasts and livings, even Demon Saint's corpse crawled up.

The dead started dancing, waving their limbs and bodies, dancing happily while they clapped and sang, "The dead have no kings, no commands they listen to;"

The dead beasts then stomped their feet, singing, "Hei ha!"

The skeletons then continued, "The dead have no subordinates, nothing they work for;"

The dead beasts then stomped again, shouting, "Hei Ha!"

"The dead have no time, the four seasons are nonexistent;"

"Hei Ha!"

"The dead have no worries, no pain to suffer from;"

"Hei Ha!"

The corpses were dancing and singing, clapping their hands, "Death is the best, best of the best! I have lived and suffered a million pains, I am now dead but embracing endless joy! The living are worse off than the dead, the dead are better than the living. So die, die now and die, die, die, die!"

The dead in the desert were all singing, it was utterly bizarre and all of the demon experts were looking at one another in shock, puzzled at the development of situation. Even Zhong Yue was puzzled, thinking, This Demon God Contracted Puppet's master's entrance is looks really imposing. But from the song, it sounds like he is a crazy fella, being alive is way better than being dead and yet he said that only death will grant endless happiness.

After the ended, the corpses all turned silent and seconds later, they all collapsed back to the ground.

The mountainous Demon God Contracted Puppet then opened his eyes and his sight fell onto Zhong Yue, the three mouths then spoke in a world-trembling voice, "Years after years have passed, I can't even recall when was the last time a summoner emerged…."

The Demon God Contracted Puppet's body turned as if it was alive, his necks lengthened and the three giant heads moved down from the clouds and looked at Zhong Yue, his heads covered the whole sky blocking Zhong Yue's vision and his breath raised a strong gale that made Zhong Yue's clothes flutter violently.

"The palatable smell of souls … Summoner, you have summoned the great Shi Tuo, what wish do you have for me?"

His voice rumbled across the whole desert, causing the yellow sands to shudder as he said, "Offer your soul to the great Shi Tuo and you shall be granted two wishes!"

Zhong Yue nearly collapsed to the ground in the demon god's aura, his knees nearly fell to the ground but he pressed against the godly aura anyway, he answered, "The great Shi Tuo, I have only one wish…."

"Are you planning to say that your one wish is to have hundreds and thousands more wishes?"
