Zhu Jiumu remained silent as he watched the lightning and blood rain poured. He looked around, only to find darkness engulfed everywhere and the surrounding only lit up when the lighting struck, exposing the celestial temples covered in blood.

The blood washed the earth and the heaven cried.

Everything was washed with the blood rain and the no one could see clearly in this dark weather.

An invisible power descended in the entire Ancestral Star and Zhu Jiumu had no idea what could this power do but he knew that this power came from the East Barren's Black Mountain!

Now, the heaven cried for the celestial race, sang a sad song for them through the thunder.

"I will go."

Zhu Jiumu said firmly; his old face looked determined, his figure became taller, blood dripped from his head down to his face, "I may be friends with Zhong Yue but when it comes to our own races, this friendship means nothing at all! I will go with you!"

Feng Wuji immediately said happily, "I will inform Huang She God right now, he is currently gathering people in Kun Lun Secret Realm, preparing to descend in Ancestral Star to slay the demon king Zhong Yue! You guys go ahead first, I will stay here to welcome Huang She God and I will be with you in no time!"

"Let's go!"

Lord Kun, Lord Demon, Zhu Jiumu, Tuz Bawk and Wen Changgong nodded and they all immediately headed towards the Black Mountain.

Right now, at the centre of the altar in Black Mountain, the bronze lamp floated in the air as the godly spirits in it got offered as sacrificial for the ceremony. As the power of the ceremony became stronger, the speed of the godly spirits being turned into pure energy became even faster!

Zhong Yue kept a close eye in controlling the amount of godly spirit in the lamp in order to prevent gods like Wei Xue God from escaping and among them, the most terrifying one was the head of Feng Wuji.

He did not know that if the Xiao Mang Grand Ancestor in Feng Wuji's head was disintegrated already or not but if he is still there, as soon as Feng Wuji's head was sacrificed, Xiao Mang Grand Ancestor would escape immediately!

Afterall, as a Deity Overlord, he probably still possess the capability of doing this.

The ceremony continued and suddenly, Shi Buyi's pupil shrunk; he looked at the West, his expression turned serious and shouted, "Master, someone's coming!"

Zhong Yue looked towards the West, only to see demonic tree, gigantic fish, and weird looking celestial beings come charging at him in lightning speed.

"Lord Demon, Lord Kun, Zhu Jiumu and the other remaining gods are all here!"

Zhong Yue took a deep breath and his vision shifted from one after another incoming foes; the ceremony has come to the most crucial period where he needs to keep a close eye on controlling the surging power of the ceremony! With such strong enemies, whatever he did will be in vain if he was not careful enough!

And the appearance of Zhu Jiumu was also out of his expectation.

As such, it was obvious that the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication has garnered the attention of the remaining gods and they did not come here to investigate but to kill him!

"But it's too late now…." murmured Zhong Yue.

Outside of the Black Mountain, Zhu Jiumu and the others approached quickly and among them, Lord Kun and Lord Demon were the fastest.

Shua—!

The huge eyes of Lord Kun looked just like two huge shining ball that lit up the night.

When he moved his eyes and looked at the Black Mountain, Lord Kun's heart thumped as he saw a celestial being with snake's body winded around the mountain with his thousand metres long body and eyes that contained the raging sun and the beautiful moon.

"Zhong Yue!"

Lord Kun's gave Zhong Yue a cold glance, stopped moving along with Lord Demon as both of them examined the altar on Black Mountain which had turned into a forbidden land filled with countless esoteric totem carvings.

These totem carvings were planted down by Shi Buyi who was already a monster god; with that powerful strength of his, it was not an easy thing to do to break his totem carvings.

Besides, after the ceremony started, Zhong Yue merged the power of the godly spirits sacrificed into the ceremony, these totem carvings had become almost impossible to be destroyed!

Behind the two lords, Zhu Jiumu and the other two finally arrived and they stood outside of the Black Mountain. Tuz Bawk who was the Asura Saint Clan's demon god let out a shout, punched towards the Black Mountain with ruthless power that shattered the dimension. However, when his fist landed on the moving totem carvings around the mountain, not only did the altar remained standing firmly, the totem carvings were also intact perfectly.

"This ceremony has cut off my connection with my sword, I can't sense my Divine Wing Saber right now!"

Lord Kun said seriously, "I was injured by Lord Dragon and I'm not at my peak state! We have to fight our way into the mountain and with that only I can sense my saber! Lord Demon, Tuz Bawk! one goal, to destroy the totem carvings formation! Jiumu, Changgong, I have no proper body, you two escort me into the mountain!"

Lord Demon nodded but Zhu Jiumu suddenly said, "Gentlemen, can I have a moment with Zhong Yue to see if we could negotiate?"

Wen Changgong who held his pike smirked and said, "What is there to talk? Everything will not be undone ever since he did this!"

Lord Kun also said, "You are just wasting time, helping him to delay the time! If he completed the ceremony, all celestial races will be destroyed!"
