Chapter 769: Seven Spirits

“Kun Ang! Kun Ang!”
The many mouths of the giant black toad wriggled when it roared, as if this Demon Master was devouring something delicious.
The ‘strength’ in Fang Yuan’s previous attack was, unbelievably, tasty food for it as well!
Fang Yuan could clearly detect this monster’s will to devour the heavens and the earth. It would never be satisfied, swallowing everything it could eat, be it tangible or intangible, matter or energy.
“This is terrifying! A Demon Master can have such magical powers… What kind of power does that Infinite Devourer possess as a Demon God?”
Fang Yuan was deeply shocked inside, not by Kun Ang, but by that legendary Demon God instead.
How exciting would their Dao path be?
“Kun Ang is already capable of devouring my strength, and that Demon God will only be more powerful and unfathomable…”
Fang Yuan was solemn.
“Kun Ang! Kun Ang!” the giant black toad shrieked in a weird voice. Crimson lightning flashed by as it opened its mouth.
Smack!
Fang Yuan shifted his body sideways, but a deep crack immediately formed on his black armor.
“Greed and coveting…” He frowned and suddenly laughed. “You’re coveting my origin power? That’s bold!”
It had always been Fang Yuan taking advantage of others, never the other way round. How dare this Demon Master covet his belongings?
“It just so happens that I covet your origin power just like how you covet mine!”
As he tightened his grip, the surrounding space stagnated and the chaotic universe became vaguely visible.
Being aware of the extreme danger, Kun Ang paused.
“Wait!” A loud and energetic voice was heard at this moment.
A green bud emerged out of the void, and countless petals swept toward Fang Yuan.
“Why would I mind another one?”
Fang Yuan was fearless. The Chaos Giant roared toward the sky, and his Creation Divine Fist was about to strike.
“Stop!!!” After a flash of light, Erag, Nine Heads, and the Life-and-Death Crow arrived. She said in an anxious voice, “Green Damask, what are you intending to do? Are you trying to start a fight between Demon Masters?”
Keke!
The bud blossomed and a woman with green hair walked out laughing. Her laughter sounded like the chime of a bell. “So this is Dream Demon… Isn’t his body surprisingly strong? You’re the first Demon Master to make Kun Ang excited to the extent of losing his mind.
Excited to the extent of losing his mind?
Fang Yuan stopped his attack as well. In fact, before he arrived, he had heard from Erag and other Demon Masters that Kun Ang, while the strongest on the Myriad Thunder Plain, had the most chaotic personality. He could go insane at times, becoming manipulated by his instinctive desire to devour. He had even badly injured a Demon Master of his own group once!
Apparently, his presence made Kun Ang sense the taste of a ‘feast’, depriving him of his self-control.
However… This woman must have been able to stop him, but she joined the fight and attacked me instead. If I was slightly weaker, I would’ve been injured by their attacks…
Fang Yuan stared coldly at the two Demon Masters.
“Kun Ang!”
Green Damask somehow managed to calm down the mad giant toad.
He roared, and many little heads popped out of the holes in his back.
Subsequently, with a black flash, his many eyes became clear. “Everybody from the Bottomless Blood Abyss, you’re finally here! Is this Dream Demon? I… apologize for what just happened!”
“It’s alright. That was because you lost your mind!” Fang Yuan’s expression was as cold as ice, having made a decision.
If he had a chance to kill these two Demon Masters in the future, he would definitely take it!
“Mmm, we captured an Ancient God as a sacrifice for opening a channel… How are your preparations going?” In an effort to alleviate the tension between them, Erag stood between Fang Yuan and the other two as she spoke
“I’ve asked Seven Spirits to prepare the flesh and blood. He has seven incarnations and is the most suitable for such tasks… The construction of the worship altar is also mostly complete, only lacking your key ingredients and the sacrifice!” Kun Ang said calmly, taking a glance at Fang Yuan. Did I go insane because of the Ancient God he brought with him? Indeed, if I devoured an unfamiliar Demon Master with a sealed Ancient God, I would be devouring two beings at once!
“What about the Demon Masters of the Extreme East Dark Mystic Ocean?” Fang Yuan was slightly surprised when he heard this.
“It was unexpected that they declined… But it doesn’t matter. They are the weakest among us anyway! There are only two Demon Masters, and they never dare come out!” Green Damask showed some contempt as she said this.
“Could it be…” Erag’s expression changed, and she exchanged glances with Fang Yuan.
It was dubious of them to be absent from such an attractive event like communicating with the Mental Demon Realm.
The Extreme East Dark Mystic Ocean was different from the other two perilous lands. It had been a large battlefield when the Mental Demon Realm invaded. Numerous Emperors, Golden Immortals, and Demon Gods had fought there, leaving behind an abundance of Dao Marks. Furthermore, a few Demon Gods had died there.
If it were left alone, even the Celestial Thearch would have no idea what kind of existence it would give birth to.
Therefore, he had sealed the entire battlefield using his supreme magical power under the help of heaven’s will.
The two Demon Masters dwelling in the Extreme East Dark Mystic Ocean seldom left the place, and no one knew what they were up to.
“It’s unbelievable that they’ll be absent from such a ceremony. Hehe… We don’t need to be afraid of them no matter what they’re doing.” Kun Ang sneered straightaway.
“Things aren’t so simple. What if… they believe that we can’t succeed this time?” Erag said thoughtfully. “After all, we’ve only succeeded once out of three attempts, and the sacrifice isn’t alive this time!”
“There’s still something wrong… Any Demon Master wouldn’t miss the ceremony given such a possibility!” said the Death Head of the Storm Crow.
“No! No! If I were them, I wouldn’t come because there’d be someone as annoying as you!” his Life Head disagreed immediately.
“You’re the one who’s annoying! I can’t wait to chop your head off!”
“You’re the one that should be chopped off!”
“If I had the ability of Seven Spirits, I’d definitely fight against you!”
…
The two heads disappointed the Demon Masters with their daily quarrel.
Obviously, the Life-and-Death Crow was not proposing any insight, instead just acting cute.
Fang Yuan smiled as well. He knew the peculiarity of this crow with two heads.
He could not separate the incarnations he had cultivated, and the two opposing wills peculiarly existed within one body.
There was no way to change this manifestation of his chaotic intrinsic quality.
Seven Spirits on the Myriad Thunder Plain had a similar characteristic, but this being had an even more chaotic mind, giving rise to seven incarnations. This was comparable to someone with multiple personality disorder.
But he could separate every personality from each other and form individual incarnations.
In an emergency, the seven of them could combine and regain the strength of a Demon Master.
But most importantly, even when six incarnations died, they could still be regenerated from the one alive.
Such a gift was probably the ultimate ability for a Demon Master to stay alive.
“Alright. Even without the two Demon Masters of the Dark Mystic Ocean, we’ll still open a channel and contact the Mother Realm!” Erag said firmly. “Bring us to the worship altar!”
“Sure. Everything is ready!” Kun Ang smiled as he led the way. “One of the incarnations of Seven Spirits is guarding the place. Honestly… I usually try my best to stay away from there because it’s too tempting!”
Fang Yuan soon discovered the reason why it was tempting.
Mountains of flesh!
Standing at a distance, he could see a gorge among the mountains made up of flesh and blood.
The slightly rotten corpses stunk, giving off an inexplicable aura of suffocation and desperation that could drive anyone insane.
Outside the gorge, a black array was shielding it from lightning.
“Kun Ang… Stay away from here!” A white-haired elder stopped them before they approached. “Don’t you know that every time you came, our progress was reduced by at least by half?”
“I was only eating some snacks. Don’t mind me!” Kun Ang laughed. “Moreover… I’m not here for food today. The Demon Masters from the Bottomless Blood Abyss have arrived.
“Everyone, this is our most excellent, most outstanding expert in arrays—Seven Spirits Array!”
“Erag, Crow, Nine Heads… We’ve met before. Is this Dream Demon?” Seven Spirits Array smiled at Fang Yuan.
“That’s right!” Fang Yuan nodded with good intention.
He knew that every incarnation of Demon Master Seven Spirits had a unique personality with entirely different divine spirits and auras. Each of them specialized in a certain field, possessing astonishing expertise.
When the seven spirits merged, his original body would inherit the ability of every incarnation and reach his most powerful and chaotic state.
“In order to communicate with the Mother Realm, we first need to sacrifice a large quantity of Demon Spirits’ flesh and blood as an orientation factor… We also need powers strong enough to break through any restrictions… Lastly, the equivalent of a Demon Master in the Spiritual Realm is required to pinpoint our location,” Seven Spirits Array murmured.
“We have the Ancient God and the Demon Spirits’ flesh and blood!
“These are the blood pearls we collected. How’s the quality?”
Erag looked at the other Demon Masters by her side and passed over a few pearls with a thick crimson color.
Fang Yuan knew that these were the concentrated essence of numerous Demon Spirits. The essence had even returned to its origins, so rather than smelling like blood, the pearls emanated a light fragrance.
Kun Ang’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw them.
“It took us a lot of effort to collect them. They’re not your food!” Erag rolled her eyes.
“This is sufficient.” Seven Spirits Array stepped forward to examine the pearls and nodded with satisfaction. “They’re just suited to suppress the heart of the array.”
