Chapter 877: Chapter 877: The Ghost Carriage

"It shouldn't be so fast. The seal of the Five-Colored Divine Stone shouldn't break this quickly. It should have lasted at least another day. Why is this happening?" The Holy King of Great Unity frowned.

Although the Holy King was surprised, he remained cautious.

"Boom!"

From the direction of Ghost Island, a tremendous explosion sent a colossal force skyward, scattering the meteor shower as if it had been blown away. The vast blood sea, seemingly composed of endless blood, was being absorbed by the demon inside the seal, converging rapidly.

A terrifying aura of malevolence radiated in all directions, causing the remaining experts to tremble. It felt like a wrathful heavenly force, utterly terrifying.

Standing at a distance, Zhong Shan watched Ghost Island with a mixture of suspicion and astonishment.

Such a powerful aura! Such an evil aura.

No, it should be described as a 'ferocious' aura. Feeling this aura, Zhong Shan had a sense that it was very similar to the ferocity in his own eyes of fortune and misfortune.

It seemed like an innate omen of disaster, or perhaps, the powerful entity inside could bring calamity to others.

What kind of monster was this?

A sharp cry suddenly echoed from within the seal, not like a phoenix's cry but extremely unpleasant. This single cry seemed to penetrate the outside world.

The sky suddenly returned to its original state, revealing the distant sea view once more. The formation had been lifted?

With the formation gone, only a few million cultivators remained, just one-tenth of the original number. The survivors felt a sense of overwhelming relief.

Most turned and fled in all directions, their minds heavily shadowed by fear.

However, a small number of cultivators stayed behind, determined to see the end, at least to prevent their mental shadows from growing further.

Ghost Island disappeared in the distance, leaving only a dense black hole. The surrounding seawater seemed to deliberately avoid it, not daring to approach.

After the cry above the black hole, a hundred-zhang-tall black object slowly rose, appearing extremely sinister. The object was shrouded in black gas, and just a glance at it made one's heart pound with fear. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

"Whoosh!"

As the demon inside emerged further, everyone realized that the previously hundred-zhang-tall object was a crown, a large crown resembling a phoenix crown.

A black, ugly bird head appeared, its eyes wide open, emitting a dazzling blue light that shot straight into everyone's hearts, causing great discomfort.

Was this the demon?

With another sharp cry, more heads identical to the first emerged from the seal. Each head had a smaller crown.

But each head's eyes glowed with the same chilling blue light.

There were nine black heads, no, ten, but the tenth head was missing, as if it had been severed, covered in bloody flesh with dark red blood seemingly ready to drip.

The demon with one less head had only nine bird heads.

Yet these nine bird heads alone exuded a formidable threat that Zhong Shan could clearly perceive.

The Red Luan Pink Lotus had turned blue, signaling extreme danger. Zhong Shan retreated further, intending to leave the area.

"Yin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The nine heads of the demon simultaneously let out a long, piercing cry. The sky darkened, and the vast sea above was shrouded in black gas, an omen of great calamity that struck fear into everyone's hearts.

With that cry, the demon spread its wings and soared into the sky. It looked like a giant bird but had eighteen wings, its body a dark red with two long tail feathers, exuding extreme ferocity.

"Yin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

"So what? Do you think you can command me?" Ghost Carriage replied icily.

"It's not me ordering you. It's the command of the Divine Emperor. After your release, you are not to cause trouble and must follow my arrangements," Ren Zun said sternly.

"The Divine Emperor?" Ghost Carriage retorted coldly.

Ren Zun waved his hand, sending the Chaos Bell toward Ghost Carriage.

Ghost Carriage caught the bell with one claw. Suddenly, a wave of energy flowed from the Chaos Bell into Ghost Carriage.

Ghost Carriage's eighteen eyes closed briefly, then reopened. He tossed the Chaos Bell back to Ren Zun.

Taking a deep breath, Ghost Carriage glared fiercely at the Holy King of Great Unity once more.

"It's time to leave. If we delay, a saint might arrive," Ren Zun said.

"Yin~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

Ghost Carriage let out a long, piercing cry. A large, dark hole appeared in the void before him, its interior pitch black.

"Enter!" Ren Zun commanded his followers.

"Yes!"

All of Ren Zun's followers quickly rushed into the dark hole.

"Lord Ghost Carriage, I'll go first!" Ren Zun said, stepping into the hole.

As he entered the darkness, Ren Zun glanced back deeply in Zhong Shan's direction.

Only after Ren Zun had entered did Ghost Carriage spread his wings and fly into the hole. At the moment of entry, Zhong Shan saw Ghost Carriage cast a glance at him.

Once Ghost Carriage entered the void, the dark hole slowly disappeared.

"Whew!" Princess Nine-Tails let out a long breath of relief from a distance.

"That was terrifying. I couldn't even speak!" Su Afo exclaimed.

"The pressure was immense!" Princess Nine-Tails nodded.

"Zhong Shan, you're alive?" Princess Nine-Tails noticed Zhong Shan and smiled with joy.

A group of people flew towards Zhong Shan.

"Poof!"

Not far away, the Holy King of Great Unity suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning extremely pale.

"Holy King of Great Unity, are you injured?" the Leader of the Purple Heaven Sect asked, frowning.

To others, it seemed that Ghost Carriage hadn't inflicted any substantial damage on the Holy King of Great Unity, only a single drop of its own blood.

"That is the blood of great misfortune. Ghost Carriage's blood brings misfortune, bad luck, and ominous signs," the Holy King of the Primordial Era explained.

"Ghost Carriage's blood? Ghost Carriage? Who is he?" the Leader of the Purple Heaven Sect asked, frowning.

"An ancient ferocious beast, the ancestor of the Nine Phoenixes. It's best not to provoke him! Now I understand, the saints aren't afraid of him, they just don't want to provoke him," the Holy King of the Primordial Era said with deep emotion.

"Farewell, everyone!" the Holy King of Great Unity said.

With that, his figure flickered and disappeared, not daring to linger any longer.

The Leader of the Purple Heaven Sect watched the departing Holy King of Great Unity intently.
