209: Chapter 209 The Secret at the Island's Core, the Dark Altar

Li Xuan stored the three drops of Chaos Demon God Essence Blood and the fragment of the chaos bead into his Inner World. His passion and killing intent boiled to the Peak.

The harvest was unprecedentedly huge, and the trouble it brought was also unprecedented.

[Warning! This place has been branded by an unknown supreme existence of the Boundary Sea. Signing in will have a high probability of alerting them!]

The System's cold warning still echoed in his ears.

Almost the very moment Li Xuan completed the sign-in and snatched the Origin of the Demon God reward:

"BOOM—!!!"

A terrifying will, billions of times stronger than a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, tore through endless spacetime dimensions and descended violently from the deepest shore of the Boundary Sea!

The will was cold, lofty, and ruthless, carrying an indifference and a trace of anger as if looking down upon ants.

Its arrival did not cause any energy fluctuations, yet it instantly froze the Origin Laws of the entire Devils Island!

The Heavenly Court army fighting on the island surface, Sun Wukong, Li Changsheng... everything was hit with a pause button, their thoughts falling into absolute stillness.

The River of Spacetime was frozen into eternal amber before this will.

Only Li Xuan, in this space of absolute stillness, could still move freely.

His Hongmeng Chaos Body was inherently superior to all Laws of this realm. Although this Immortal King-level will was strong, it could only freeze the spacetime around him and could not act directly upon his true body.

That cold will transformed into an invisible giant hand and grabbed fiercely at the position where Li Xuan had just been standing! Clearly, it had sensed that the "treasure" it had guarded for countless epochs had been tainted by someone, and it wanted to completely erase this audacious thief, along with his Divine Soul, true spirit, and every trace of his existence!

However, it grabbed nothing.

"Want to catch Me?"

Li Xuan's figure had already appeared ten thousand miles away. He stood with his hands behind his back, a cold sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"I have taken your things. Want them back? Come... and get them yourself."

His voice, through a trace of Hongmeng Dao Rhyme, traveled back against the source of that will.

Immediately after, he flicked his finger.

A strand of incomparably pure Hongmeng Chaos Qi was shot into the interior of the demon gods heart, which had withered after being drained of its Origin.

"BOOM!"

Nourished by this higher-level Origin energy, the demon gods heart experienced a final burst of vitality, instantly erupting with violent energy more than ten times stronger than before!

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the primitive destructive aura belonging to the Chaos Demon God exploded like an out-of-control nuclear reactor!

This sudden change instantly interfered with the lock of the Immortal King's will.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xuan flickered, ghost-like, piercing through the thick heart wall of the demon gods heart and entering the deepest inner space.

...

This place was another world.

A Hell of flesh and blood filled with corruption, despair, and pain.

The unimaginably huge heart chamber was not empty.

A giant altar, made entirely of unknown black crystals and standing ten thousand feet tall, stood quietly in the very center of the heart chamber.

The altar's design was bizarre and evil. Its entire body was engraved with countless twisted, painful humanoid reliefs and a type of mysterious rune that Li Xuan had never seen before, filled with pollution and blasphemy.

Countless thick black chains, condensed from the purest Dark Laws, extended from the base of the altar like venomous pythons, tightly binding and piercing the surrounding flesh and blood of the heart, fusing the entire altar and the demon gods heart firmly together.

The altar was divided into nine levels, and each level imprisoned thousands of powerful true spirits with black chains!

These true spirits were of various forms, including Human Race, Yao Race, Dragon Clan, Phoenix... Before their deaths, every one of them was a renowned powerhouse, and the lowest in cultivation was actually at the Peak Golden Immortal level!

Among them, there were even a dozen true spirits that, even after being tortured by endless pain for unknown ages, still exuded the Immortal Dao Rhyme unique to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

At this moment, they all had their eyes closed, their faces wearing expressions of eternal twisted pain. Their true spirit Origins were being extracted bit by bit, extremely slowly, by the evil runes on the altar, like squeezing sugarcane juice.

These purest life and Soul energies being extracted turned into trickles, flowing upward along the grooves engraved on the altar, eventually gathering into a bizarre blood-colored vortex at the top of the altar.

The vortex rotated slowly, emitting an aura that spanned across time and space.

After being converted by the vortex, the gathered energy seemed to be packed into "energy cans" and then sent to an unknown and distant coordinate in the depths of the Boundary Sea.

Seeing this scene, even with Li Xuan's state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a chill and monstrous anger rising from the depths of his Soul!

His Hongmeng Dao Eyes instantly saw through the entire essence of this evil ritual!

No wonder!

No wonder the three Lords of Devils Island were so weak in strength. As veteran Grand Unity Golden Immortals, they didn't even have a decent Innate Spirit Treasure, and their trump cards were pitifully few.

No wonder the existence of this island was so ostentatious, entrenched at the edge of the Boundary Sea, yet it didn't seem to attract the attention of those truly top-tier forces.

It turned out that this was not a pirate's nest at all, nor was it an outpost for dark forces!

This was a "farm"! A "slaughterhouse"!

A meat factory that continuously provided high-quality "blood food energy" for some terrifying existence in the depths of the Boundary Sea!

And those three arrogant Demonic Lords were not Dominators; they were just three foremen hired by this "factory owner" to guard the factory and take charge of capturing "raw Materials"!

Their existence was to attract and hunt down Immortals who were lost in the Boundary Sea or came to search for treasures, and then imprison their true spirits on this dark altar, draining them of their last ounce of value to sacrifice to the great master behind them.

What a grand scheme! What a vicious method!

Using a forbidden area of the Boundary Sea formed by the corpse of a Chaos Demon God as a factory, using three Grand Unity Golden Immortals as foremen, and using the true spirits of countless fallen powerhouses as sacrifices!

The planner behind this was so poisonous and so deep in their schemes that it was simply shocking!

A chilling killing intent slowly rose from the bottom of Li Xuan's eyes.

This was no longer just a simple war and plunder.

This was the most thorough blasphemy against life! It was the most vicious insult to all living beings!

"Since I have seen it..."

Li Xuan's voice echoed slowly in this blood-colored heart chamber, carrying an unquestionable sense of judgment.

"Then this dirty factory has no reason to exist."

He raised his hand slowly, originally intending to destroy this evil altar and the demon gods heart together with a single palm using the most domineering power.

However, when his gaze fell upon the blood-colored vortex on the altar that had gathered the resentment and vast energy of billions of living beings accumulated over countless epochs, a crazier and bolder idea arose in his heart.

Destroy it?

That would be too easy on them!

Such pure and massive energy, although full of resentment and curses, was nothing more than a "heavy-flavored" supplement for his Hongmeng Chaos Body.

Waste is shameful.

Turning waste into treasure is the true way!

A grim arc curled at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

With a thought, the three drops of [Chaos Demon God Essence Blood] he had just obtained, still fresh, appeared in his palm.

"Using the blood of the Chaos Demon God as a guide, swallow the resentment of all living beings;"

"Using your evil altar as fuel, ignite the Immortal body!"

"Today, I will, in this place..."

Li Xuan's gaze became incomparably deep at this moment, as if reflecting the birth and destruction of the Universes. His majestic and domineering voice became the only final sound in this land of sin!

"Make another Breakthrough!"
