Chapter 258 (2/2)

When the sound reached the baleful bloody aura, a ripple spread over its savage surface and pacified it.

The black demonic pillar within the bloody sea flickered with scarlet runes. The ancient Sanskrit resounding across Mu Chen’s aura sea made it feel dangerously uneasy.

However, the feeling only provoked its anger and it exploded with an undeniable rage, breaking through the Nine Netherbird’s sea of black flames.

“Let it through.”

Just when the Nine Netherbird was preparing to re-engage, it was startled by the voice from behind. The creature turned to face Mu Chen, who was still sitting on his flower. His eyes were already open, but they were a strange, dark violet hue.

The moment Mu Chen’s spirit leapt from the mandala flower, the flower exploded with beams of dark purple light. The rays intertwined with each other and formed a net of purple light.

Shhhhhuu!

The net woven of light sailed through the air and landed perfectly on the black demonic pillar. The moment the pillar was captured by the net, its bloody baleful aura dispersed.

Onom! Onom!

Bloody runes appeared on the surface of the black demonic pillar as it shifted into various shapes in an attempt to escape the net. Eventually, it realised that there was something strange with the light net.

This purple light net wasn’t as simple as it seemed. It appeared as only beams of light, but upon closer inspection, those lines were actually rivers of mystical runes. Those runes were the reason why the black demonic pillar couldn’t break free.

The violet mandala slowly circulated and tugged on the black demonic pillar, just like a venus flytrap that’d caught its prey.

Boom! Boom!

The pillar’s bloody sea surged as it desperately struggled. Slowly, the ancient baleful aura even managed to stop the mandala’s pull.

The mandala flower was a mysterious existence, but the black demonic pillar was just as strong.

“Nine Netherbird, attack it!” Mu Chen urged when he saw the pillar’s crazed struggle.

The Nine Netherbird nodded and snapped its wings. Black flames gathered and turned into a pair of formless black wings that burned with a dark light; however, there were no flames blazing from its surface. Even so, Mu Chen could sense the frightening energy gathered there.

“Shhhhhhuuuu!”

The black wings carried their owner forward in a streak of light, right into the demonic pillar at lightning speed. The pillar shook at the force of the impact and was sent flying. The mandala flower wasted no opportunity to pull it forward.

The moment the black demonic pillar was pulled into the mandala flower, those beautiful petals rose and closed the flower into a tight bud. Glowing runes floated over the petals and turned into violet shackles, binding the black demonic pillar.

Clash!

The black demonic pillar continued to struggle and the chains clinked and clanged in response. However, the number of shackles only increased, until the black demonic pillar was thoroughly sealed.

Mu Chen and the Nine Netherbird suddenly felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off their shoulders.

Mu Chen’s spirit carefully approached the mandala flower. The black demonic pillar still towered, even though it was now tangled in countless violet shackles and its powerful energy had been suppressed.

“I’ve finally dealt with the big guy.”

Mu Chen smiled as he looked over the tattered black pillar. His eyes suddenly focused on something and said in astonishment, “There seems to be name inscribed on it…”

He studied the ancient characters and knitted his brows. Words this old were quite hard to recognize.

“Great…Meru……Demonic Pillar?”

Mu Chen muttered, “Is ‘Great Meru Demonic Pillar’ the name of this item?”

He turned back to the Nine Netherbird. “You should know something about it, right? Since you’ve lived for so long.” If they were to speak of knowledge and experience, the Nine Netherbird clearly possessed more than him.

The Nine Netherbird stared at him for a moment, then glared and flapped its wings. “Among the Nine Netherbirds, I’ve only just reached adulthood!”

Mu Chen was startled, “You’re already so powerful, even though you’ve just reached adulthood?”

The Nine Netherbird proudly raised its slender and graceful neck. “Did you think that absolute geniuses only existed among your human race?”

Mu Chen rubbed his nose.

The Nine Netherbird lazily peered down at Mu Chen, “Anyways, you’d better think about how to deal with the aftermath of what just happened. Even though the black demonic pillar has been sealed, it has still left a large amount of baleful aura inside your body. If you don’t get rid of it soon, your body will be corroded.”

Mu Chen smiled and narrowed his eyes, as an eager smile rose at the corner of his mouth. He wasn’t surprised. Of course he already knew that.

“This baleful aura is also a form of energy… I got it. I’ll need to use them next.”
