84: Chapter 84 Grand Ceremony, Black Stone Slab

After receiving the power boost from the ritual, although the Evil God Follower's rank was still fourth-rank, his state could be maintained at its peak, and he had a continuous stream of recovery, as if he possessed an immortal body.

However, that ever-victorious ritual power appeared somewhat fragile under the impact of the youth's golden Thunder Power.

The recovery power brought by the ritual was far inferior to the destructive force brought by the golden Thunder Power.

"Is this kid really this strong?"

Ou Guang watched Zhou Bai easily suppressing the Evil God Follower, completely stunned.

Ou Guang knew exactly how terrifying an Evil God Follower under the ritual's blessing was.

Although he was only fourth-rank, even four Fifth-Rank Martial Artists working together might not necessarily be able to deal with him.

And now, this fourth-rank Evil God Follower was being suppressed by Zhou Bai alone, to the point where his physical body was about to collapse, which simply shattered Ou Guang's understanding.

Bang!!!

Two breaths later, a blade light containing overbearing Thunder Power slashed onto the Evil God Follower's body, directly blowing it apart.

At the same time, an altar not far away also quickly collapsed under the impact of Zhou Bai's power.

The dense black mist around them slowly began to thin.

"Too strong, as expected of the champion of the dawn battle!"

Seeing Zhou Bai forcefully slaying the Evil God Follower and crushing the Evil God ritual, Guo Rui couldn't help but cheer.

The eyes of those two Fifth-Rank Martial Artists also flickered with brilliance.

They had fought that Evil God Follower and knew how difficult he was to deal with.

Seeing the Evil God Follower, who was boosted by ritual power, being crushed like this in Zhou Bai's hands filled them with awe.

"Student Zhou Bai, thanks to you destroying the ritual, otherwise if the ritual had grown further, our entire Jianglin City would have been in danger!"

Then, Guo Rui came to Zhou Bai's side and said to him with a face full of sincerity.

At this time, Ou Guang no longer had his previous contempt, but instead looked at Zhou Bai with a complex expression.

The youth before him was so young, yet so terrifying.

"No, the ritual hasn't been completely destroyed yet!"

Zhou Bai turned and looked into the depths of the Black Cloud Cave.

"Not completely destroyed yet?"

Hearing this, Guo Rui's expression changed slightly.

Swish!!!!

Zhou Bai didn't say much, but once again used Phantom Sky Travel, rushing directly toward the stone wall in the depths of the Black Cloud Cave.

Exquisite murals were carved on the deep stone wall, with strands of evil energy seeping out from within them.

Because of the black mist in the Black Cloud Cave, this evil energy was extremely faint.

If it weren't for Zhou Bai's powerful spiritual power, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

Slash!!!!

Without hesitation, Zhou Bai used his blood shadow battle saber, carrying the overbearing Dutian Divine Thunder, to directly shatter the stone wall carved with exquisite murals.

After the stone wall broke open, there was another space inside, where a deeper and more evil altar was continuously gathering power.

In the center of the altar, there was also a strange black statue, looking like a demon from hell, extremely hideous.

"There really is one. This... this guy wasn't here for the small-scale ritual outside, but for the large-scale ritual here!"

At this time, Guo Rui also came to Zhou Bai's side, looking at the altar gathering immense power inside with a solemn expression.

Evil God rituals also have different levels: small-scale, medium-scale, and large-scale. The more powerful the ritual, the greater the power it brings.

If a large-scale ritual is completely finished, the entire Jiang Province would be at risk of falling.

"In that case, let's destroy it!"

Zhou Bai narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

After saying that, Zhou Bai immediately executed the sixth stage of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber, combined with the intermediate Battle Saint Method, carrying the terrifying Dutian Divine Thunder in a heavy slash.

Slash!!!!

In an instant, an extremely powerful thunder blade rushed toward the altar as if gods were exterminating evil.

The sixth stage of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber provided a five-fold power boost, plus the four-fold boost from the intermediate Battle Saint Method, resulting in a terrifying twenty-fold power when combined.

This powerful thunder blade made Guo Rui and the others feel their scalps go numb, as if even their souls were trembling.

Bang!!!!

Following a violent collision, the large-scale ritual in operation was instantly torn to shreds by Zhou Bai's thunder blade.

After the ritual altar was destroyed, the evil energy in the Black Cloud Cave rapidly dissipated.

"Student Zhou Bai, you've done a great service by stopping a large-scale ritual!"

Guo Rui looked at the destroyed large-scale ritual altar ahead, and the heart that had been hanging high in his chest finally settled.

At the same time, he felt incredibly fortunate that he had invited Zhou Bai to come.

Otherwise, with just them and the people from the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Hall, even if they were lucky enough to destroy that small-scale ritual, they would have found it difficult to discover and destroy the large-scale ritual hidden behind the mural.

And once that large-scale ritual was completely finished, it's unknown what would happen to Jiang Province, but Jianglin City would certainly be doomed.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Zhou Bai saved the entire Jianglin City.

"However, for that fourth-rank Evil God Follower to be able to set up a large-scale ritual... has this cult already become so difficult to deal with?"

Ou Guang's face was filled with solemnity.

Originally, a large-scale ritual required at least a Grandmaster-level Evil God Follower to set up.

But this fourth-rank Evil God Follower set up this large-scale ritual. If every fourth-rank follower could set up such a powerful ritual...

"A large-scale ritual was almost completed in the Black Cloud Cave before. That guy was probably repairing and continuing it on the site of that ritual, rather than setting it up independently!"

Guo Rui clearly knew more about these matters; after checking the surroundings, he continued.

"I see!"

Ou Guang nodded.

"But Student Zhou Bai, you're really too fierce. Sorry, I was a bit prejudiced against you before..."

After understanding the whole story, Ou Guang looked at Zhou Bai again and said with a sigh of admiration.

At the same time, he felt his previous thoughts were laughable. Who was he to have the qualifications to question the king and Champion of the Battle of the Dawn?

After studying at the Crimson Flame Martial Arts Hall for a few years, he had really become a bit arrogant.

Tang Rou didn't say anything, but her eyes were fixed on Zhou Bai, wondering what she was thinking.

"It's fine!"

Zhou Bai nodded, not caring at all. On his journey, he had never lacked doubters.

Then, Zhou Bai seemed to notice something and went to the ruins of the large-scale ritual to pick up a stone tablet carved with many black runes.

"What is this?"

Looking at this black stone tablet, Zhou Bai raised an eyebrow.

His impact just now was too powerful; all the other materials of the ritual were crushed, except for this black stone tablet, which suffered no damage at all.
