Chapter 46: A Scapegoat!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The black fog transformed into a five-colored altar and floated in the air. The surroundings were silent. In the entire abyss, only the chains around the black shadow rattled.
His entire body was rotting. His body was pierced by chains and locked onto the throne. Below, all the demon beasts searched crazily in their minds for news regarding the five-colored altar.
However, how could they find it? One had to know that these demon beasts were the top existences in the vast Great Desolate. Usually, they were all in the depths of the Ancient Great Desolate, but the five-colored altar was at the edge of the vast Great Desolate. Moreover, it was gray and did not have any reaction at all!!!
Who could pay attention to this? These demon beasts stared intently at the five-colored altar and crazily searched in their minds, but no matter how they racked their brains, they could not figure out what this was!
Many demon beasts stood there awkwardly, unable to think of a reason!
The black figure sat upright on the Emperor’s Throne, his gaze dark and deep.
“Don’t you know? The vast Great Desolate has declined. You need a wake-up call.”
The black shadow’s tone was calm, but its voice was so cold that it made one’s hair stand on end. A cold voice sounded. A large area of black fog surged around it, as if it was alive. When one looked carefully, they would discover that this black fog was actually formed by fine and dense patterns that were like dust!
“Supreme Being, we have really never seen this five-colored altar. Please give us some time.” The Nine Nether Bird crawled on the ground, its entire body trembling. It spread its wings and was already completely pressed to the ground.
“You all are not worthy of my time!” A cold voice pierced through the dark hall.
If not for the fact that there were huge beasts surrounding him and this was the ancient Great Abyss, this icy cold voice would definitely shake the world!
Even so, the entire Great Abyss began to tremble violently. Large amounts of bones rushed into the sky, and countless corpses of ancient creatures turned to dust. Everything cried out!
In the darkness, the eyes of the rotting black shadow that was locked onto the throne emitted a blinding divine light. It tore through the void, and it was crimson like blood as it spat out like a large expanse of blood flames. It was terrifying!
“My lord! My lord!”
The Nine Nether Bird sensed that the situation was bad and wanted to escape. However, before it could move, its soul was burned by the blood flames. Mysterious flames spewed out from its seven orifices. In the blink of an eye, it had already burned into a pile of corpses! Its soul was destroyed!
Gulp! All the demon beasts swallowed their saliva and were drenched in sweat!
It died just like that? One had to know that the Nine Nether Bird was a demon beast that had been famous for thousands of years. In the entire Great Desolate, in terms of strength, it was one or two existences.
With the Nine Nether Flames, it was said to be able to burn the world with invincible might. Moreover, the Nine Nether Bird even had a trace of the Phoenix bloodline! However, now, in the blink of an eye, the Nine Nether Bird was burned by the flames that it was most skilled in!
“It’s your turn next. Who took away the five-colored altar?” The black shadow said coldly.
He was very domineering, supreme, and high up. He did not have the intention to refute the demon beasts below at all. He looked at the next demon beast as if he could control everything in the world!
“Supreme… Supreme Being! I… I remember!”
The demon beast that was being stared at felt its scalp go numb. It was a purple thousand feet long feathered python. It had a horn on its forehead and wings on its back.
It screamed and shouted flatteringly, “Supreme Being, when I was young, I had once seen this five-colored altar at the edge of the vast Great Desolate! That vast Great Desolate, that vast Great Desolate… That’s right! It’s in the southwest of Qi Mountain County!!”
However, as soon as the feathered python finished speaking, the void was torn apart. A corrupt blood-colored beast claw that was covered in black hair and 30,000 feet long appeared from the void and directly grabbed the feathered python.
“Lord?! You’re…” The feathered python cried out miserably.
Slash! The beast claw pinched hard, and immediately, the feather python was covered in blood! It was easily crushed like a ball!
“I’m asking you who took away the five-colored altar!” In the dark hall, a black shadow emitting a corrupt aura emitted a grand and shocking voice!
Where he was, endless black mist erupted, turning into a shocking storm that swept through everything in the surroundings!
The black storm swept through the wilderness. This was too terrifying. Several demon beasts could not withstand it. With a moment of carelessness, they instantly exploded into bloody flesh! In the blood-colored storm, the three black panthers desperately spat out a mouthful of blood, forming a light barrier that enveloped them. At the same time, they cried out miserably.
“Supreme Being!”
“I think I know who took away the five-colored altar!”
“On the southwest edge of Qi Mountain County, there’s a human city with the Xiao family there. It’s extremely close to the five-colored altar!”
The world-destroying black storm slowly stopped. The remaining dozens of demon beasts vomited blood and fell from the sky.
The Three-headed Black Leopard crawled up with all its might and ignored the injuries on its bodies as it shouted, “Supreme Being, it’s very likely that the five-colored altar was taken away by the Xiao family!!”
Hearing the Three-headed Black Leopard say this, the other demon beasts also recalled.
Previously, there seemed to be a phenomenon appearing in the direction of the Xiao family! Moreover, that phenomenon was extremely close to the five-colored altar!
“I remember now, Supreme Being. Back then, when the five-colored altar was stolen, it seemed that the Xiao family erupted with a phenomenon resembling an eye!”
“It’s most likely the Xiao family who took away the treasure!”
In the pitch-black hall above, he was silent for a long time. He suddenly recalled that not long ago, a phenomenon had erupted outside the vast Great Desolate. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the five-colored altar had disappeared before and after him!
“Xiao family? I’ve never heard of such a family.”
The pitch-black figure sat back on the throne. He looked down and said coldly with an endless chill.
“Since you know, what are you waiting for? Quickly retrieve it!”
“Don’t tell me I have to do it myself?!”
“I want to see results within a day!”
When the demon beasts heard this, they hurriedly crawled up and ran towards the Great Abyss!
After running for a long time, more than ten demon beasts ran out of the abyss with all their might. They returned to the ground and gasped in a sorry state. Many demon beasts were glad that they barely survived. They looked in the direction of Qi Mountain County in the distance, their eyes completely red.
“Damn it!! Why did you steal the five-colored altar of all things!!”
“Call all our brothers!”
“To Qi Mountain County we go!”
“We’ll tear apart the Xiao family!”
“Leave none alive!”
