Chapter 603 - Old Friend, Come Then！ (2/2)

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and this will not take a long time."

Zhu Jiumu shook his head and shouted, "My little friend Zhong Yue, could you please listen to me?"

On the Black Mountain, the celestial being turned around, looked at Zhu Jiumu and said, "Senior, do you still remember that time when I visited you?"

"I do" replied Zhu Jiumu.

Zhong Yue then said again, "I wanted to tell you about what I was going to do today so that you and your people could leave the Ancestral Star and head towards Kun Lun for I will designate a place for your people to stay there. My two visits however, were rejected by you and I will not attempt a third visit, which is why Zhu Jushan and his family were brought to Kun Lun by me. This is so that your bloodline will not end here."

Zhu Jiumu's mind went empty and after a moment, he asked seriously, "So you are trying to annihilate all celestial races in this world now?"

Zhong Yue however, shook his head and replied, "I am not annihilating all of you. I'm only trying to seal your blood. An unknown power has descended upon this planet, stopping all cultivations. I had no choice but to do this for the sake of my people."

Zhu Jiumu understood his motive right away; his face turned serious and he suddenly knelt before Zhong Yue!

Wen Changong, Tuz Bawk were shocked while Lord Demon and Lord Kun immediately acted and was about to strike him down.

At this crucial moment, Zhu Jiumu stood up, said with an old yet astonishing voice, "I knelt before you because I want to thank you on behalf of my race that you let Jushan and his family off this disaster event and prevented my people from going extinct.!"

Zhong Yue nodded and said nothing.

Zhu Jiumu's aura surged, killing intent rose and light wheels emerged behind his head. Among the light wheels, a huge bow appeared. The bow then landed in Zhu Jiumu's hand; he drew his bow, aimed at Zhong Yue and said coldly, "I've thanked you for what you did but at the same time, I will have to kill you as well for trying to seal the celestial blood of we Zhu Jian Celestial Race and punished us into oblivion! This is no longer a private affair but a war between two different races! Do you understand this?"

He thanked Zhong Yue for allowing Zhu Jushan and his family to escape so that his race will be preserved but he too, wanted to kill Zhong Yue because Zhong Yue was trying to seal all the celestial bloodline in this world, including the Zhu Jian Celestial Race!

Zhu Jiumu may be old but he could still differentiate what was right and what was wrong for himself!

He didn't ask Zhong Yue to stop the ritual because he knew that Zhong Yue was fighting for his own race and it will be in vain even if he tried to halt him!

Thus, instead of wasting effort and time to talk him out of it, Zhu Jiumu decided that they will decide this through a life and death battle!

Zhong Yue nodded and said seriously, "Old friend, come up the mountain then, please!"

He turned around, looked at the others and his voice echoed loudly in the blood rain, "Gentlemen, shall we?"

Ka cha, ka cha—

Lighting fell frequently, lighting up the skies for a brief second and exposed the gods engulfed by darkness.

"Lord Demon!"

Lord Kun shouted and before his voice fully fade away, Lord Demon and Tuz Bawk activated the demonic tree. This tree was one of the equipment of Lord Demon; it had countless branches and these branches contained different power.

Initially, other than trying to use Lord Demon's power to suppress Shi Tuo, this tree was also one of the reason why Feng Xiaozhong robbed the tomb of Lord Demon.

This demonic tree was something on par with weapons of the likes like Divine Wing Saber but only those with demonic power could control the tree; Lord Demon and Tuz Bawk both came from the demon race and when they channeled their power into the tree, the power of the tree was unleashed and thousands of demonic blades rained towards the Black Mountain!

On the surface of the Black Mountain, the totem carvings of the ritual trembled as the demonic weapons struck into the totem carvings and froze them right away!

Zhong Yue kept a serious expression against this scene. Suddenly, the remaining godly spirits in the bronze lamp surged out, got melted by the ritual and caused the power of the ritual to increase tremendously, breaking the suppression of the countless demonic weapons.

Lord Demon and Tuz Bawk then shouted continuously, channeled even more power into the tree in an attempt to withstand the ritual's power!

This caused Zhong Yue to frowned and there came two corpses from the bronze lamp that flew into the altar. The corpses were the bodies of the two insect race's gods and along with their ravaged corpses, they were all sacrificed and turned into horrendous energy for the ritual!

Lord Demon immediately roared, touched his forehead and a black coffin rammed towards the altar.

On the way flying towards the altar, the black coffin enlarged and turned into a coffin that was at least hundred metres long, rammed into the demonic weapons launched by the demonic tree, knocked and splitted the totem carvings surrounding the Black Mountain apart. The cover of the coffin then slid towards the front with one end still lying on the coffin and another end on the mountain.

This coffin was the coffin Lord Demon was buried with. It was hundred metres long and along with the cover of the coffin, they formed a black bridge that connects into the Black Mountain.

With that, an entrance into the mountain was created and Lord Demon's body shook as he withstood the immense pressure. He then shouted, "Get in there, right now! I can't hold it any longer!"

Lord Kun looked at Zhu Jiumu and Wen Changgong before he shouted, "Jiumu?"

Zhu Jiumu immediately got up to the demonic tree and Lord Kun turned into a celestial being with bird head, human body and Peng's wings that followed right behind Zhu Jiumu while Wen Changgong followed behind them closely, protecting Lord Kun who was in the middle.

The trio got up of the tree, traveled quickly and just when they got up to the coffin, blood ocean flowed out from the lamp as Zhong Yue let Wei Xue God out and started sacrificing him!
