The 5 sages remained silent
Now, everything was clear.
Shang Hou was merely a magical clone of a demonic king in the Demonic Heart Realm and had arrived in Da Qian by accident before maturing here.
Compared to the harsh environment of the Demonic Heart Realm, Da Qian was like heaven.
Therefore, after inspecting the plan of the 5 sages, Shang Hou devised a plan to help himself by bringing his true body over after opening the gate of the realm and in the meantime force the environment of Da Qian to adapt to become his personal playground!
Therefore, his plan was to open the passage for a short while before destroying it!
Compared to the 5 sages who were willing to sacrifice Da Qian, this foreigner chose Da Qian instead! Shang Hou even had the plan to protect Da Qian.
Da Qian was still able to gain the support of the heavens to manipulate the 9 Heavenly Sky Net Array because it had no choice!
The natives of Da Qian had already chosen to betray it. Therefore, it could only rely on a foreigner.
"We have... done wrong!?"
Lord Yin and the other sages gazed towards the demonic shadow in the Demonic Heart Realm as well as the weakened Bone Door with their wavering hearts.
It was true that they would be able to increase their cultivation as soon as the passage to the Demonic Heart Realm was formed. At least, they would be able to purify their dream elemental force. The quality of their dream elemental force was now increased and they now understood the Demonic Heart Realm. If they were to cultivate in isolation, the sages might be able to achieve yet another breakthrough.
However, all of these was assuming that the passage to the Demonic Heart Realm was to remain open. As soon as the two realms break off, everything to revert back to how it once was before the collision of realms!
Therefore, it was an all-in to sacrifice Da Qian for the Demonic Heart Realm.
Would Shang Hou let them have their way?
If the Demonic Heart Realm was a friendly place, why would this demon try all means to bring its true body to Da Qian?
Even if the sages had decided to enter the Demonic Heart Realm for good, Shang Hou's true body was in the way and recklessly entering the door would only be sacrificing oneself.
Unknowingly, the 5 sages had realised they had arrived at the desperate situation which Shang Hou had plotted for them!
"The will of Da Qian has no other choice!"
Shang Hou laughed as he looked towards the 5 sages. "I need 3 sages as a sacrifice. The remaining 2 shall remain as my loyal servants and will be able to ensure your survival if you allow me to imprint my Spiritual Will Steel Seal on you. The opportunity is here and it is up to the few of you if you want to take it!"
"Don't fall into his trap!"
Sage Baize sounded hoarse. Although the 5 sages did not break up immediately, the clouds above them started to separate and everything was clear.
"The heavens are just while the sages are selfish... Keke!"
Seeing this, Shang Hou let out a weird laugh as he stood before the Bone Door.
Behind him, his true body started to solidify, revealing a tall demonic shadow - it had purple skin and black tattoos all around. There were two small horns on his head and his eyes were bloodshot. He had fangs like Asura and a ghostly claw covered with a layer of magma on it. The other hand was strangled in chains and fire.
"Rumble!"
At this point in time, dim red streaks of lightning from the Demonic Heart Realm started to strike down, preventing this Asura from leaving its realm.
Although it was a devastating demon, it still found it hard to progress under the might of the Demonic Heart Realm!
"Asura..."
The purple demon roared and started to holler a chant which could not be understood. At the same time, one of its hands, the ghostly claw, managed to go through the Bone Door, entering the realm of Da Qian!
"Demonic Heart Realm..."
Shang Hou appeared serious and started to shout towards the skies. "I shall offer these sacrifices as a price to pay for my departure!"
"This is not good!"
In that instant, the 5 sages felt a sense of danger and felt like their lives could be taken from them anytime.
They finally understood Shang Hou's plan. Shang Hou wanted to use them as a sacrifice in exchange for Asura's entry into Da Qian!
"Sigh... things have escalated to such a stage and the only solution is to sacrifice..."
The Ancient One sighed and gazed towards the attacking Head of Hidden Dragon Guards, Superior Wu Zun and Qian Huanyi before shaking his head. "Hollow... annihilate!"
"Rumble!"
The space behind him started to vibrate. The hollow which was originally still resisting the pure dream elemental force started to crumble. The mountains, trees, birds, animals and even cultivators in the hollow turned to dust in an instant, through flames, turned into the natural source of the realm.
"The 12 Witches Magical Array! Rise!"
Beside The Ancient One, 12 weird-looking witches appeared with ferocious looks on their faces. They gave off an ancient vibe and roared as they formed the array, summoning an unknown giant which struck an axe out!
"Where... does such power come from? What kind of magical body is this?"
Superior Wu Zun's eyes glistened as he struck his fist out in retaliation. "Superior magical fist!"
"Bang!"
The giant axe shook before falling to the ground. Superior Wu Zun's arm was severed. Where the axe landed, space was torn apart and everything there was destroyed!
"The Ancient One... is indeed decisive!"
The remaining 4 sages sighed.
After their hollows were all being refined by the Demonic Heart Realm, although they were all temporarily weakened, after the ordeal, there were countless benefits.
However, now, they did not have the time. They could only resort to desperate means and retrieve the natural source of their realms to fight! This was the decisive ultimatum of a sage!
Under the threat of death, the remaining Sage Baize, Evil Divine, Lord Yin and Li Qingmian started to refine their hollows as well, filling their bodies with an unimaginable amount of energy from their natural sources.
"Flowers from the Dream Pen!"
The pen in Li Qingmian's hands shook and a colourful lotus flower started to bloom at its tip. In every flower, there would be another world and in every strand of grass, there would be another heaven. In the next instant, the flower started to wither and energy capable of destroying a world was created. Without hesitation, he directed the energy at Qian Huanyi.
"Heavenly Divine Force!"
"Fine Deity Lady!"
"Baize Magical Beast!"
...
Within moments, the 5 sages had all unleashed their killer moves. The clouds above them started to spread out, separating the heavens from the earth.
On Evil Divine's body, there was a mysterious variant of dream elemental force and Fang Yuan could feel a sense of familiarity. It was the heavenly evil force which Fang Yuan had once experienced.
Under the influence of the heavenly evil force, powerful beings of the Evil Divine Sect appeared. They all had ancient looks and extremely realistic. They were a bizarre variation of puppets.
Beside Lord Yin, thousands of heavenly ladies danced around, intoxicating and seducing anyone looking at it.
Comparatively, Sage Baize only called out the true physical body of a magical beast.
This magical beast had the body of a goat, the claws of a dragon and a horn on its head. It was a legendary auspicious creature - the Baize.
This was different from the animals created by dream beast masters. This magical beast had true ancient blood and even a breakthrough in its own cultivation.
With an exclamation, its hooved feet crashed into the ground.
The spirits of the entire world were seemingly summoned for this fight and powerful fighting forces formed an army of powerful spirits!
It was once recorded that the Baize was an ancient magical beast which led many ghosts and spirits.
The Baize which the Sage had summoned had another powerful ability. He would be able to summon any ghostly spirit which he knew about! With that, he would be able to call out tens of thousands of spirits!
With the 5 sages combining forces and putting their all in this, they would even be able to destroy a small realm or even kill a sage!
With the tremor from the Baize, Head of Hidden Dragon Guards and the 2 other powerful beings shook together with the space around them. The energy from their natural sources slowly dissipated and it was evident that they were now severely injured.
"Die!"
After forcing the 3 powerful beings to a corner, the 5 sages quick shifted their attention to Shang Hou, who was standing before the Bone Door!
Shang Hou was now standing on the ghostly claw and appeared awe-inspiring. Even against the 5 sages, he maintained his composure.
"Asura!!!"
With a roar which seemingly came from the Demonic Heart Realm, the purple ghostly claw struck forward and the black tattoos on its arm became obvious. This claw seemed as though it had come from the depths of hell, gripping tightly on this realm.
"Rumble... Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After 5 distinct sounds, a shocking scene started to unfold.
The awe-inspiring sages were suddenly silenced by the arrival of the cursed ghostly claw, as though their influenced had been wiped out of existence!
"Your power comes from the Demonic Heart Realm. How will it be possible to use it against an even more powerful being from the realm?"
5 streaks of light struck through the skies as the clouds appeared above the sages. Seeing this, Shang Hou snickered.
"Kacha!"
"Kacha!"
Shang Hou froze as he gazed at his ghostly claw.
The 5 fingers on the claw started to crack before falling to the ground, turning into powder. With that, the claw lost all signs of life.
Furthermore, the solidification started to spread upwards towards the palm.
"I've looked down on the few of you..."
Seeing this, Shang Hou seemed devastated. "To think that the few of you can harm my physical body. You guys are indeed sages... and the fact that we are in a foreign realm! However, all resistance is futile... All of you will have to die today! You will become the sacrifice for my departure!"
"Asura!!!"
With another roar, the Asura behind the Bone Door stretched out its other hand, which was being restrained by chains. Without restrictions, it entered the realm of Da Qian just like that.
"Sha! Sha!"
Blood-red chains stretched into the realm like spider webs and in an instant, it seemed to have caught a prey.
"Kacha!"
Lord Yin of the Divine Lotus Cult realised that her limbs were being chained. Shocked, she was being pulled towards the Bone Door. Within moments, the chains started to burst into flames.
All the other heavenly ladies started to scream and turned into a green smoke.
Lord Yin had a look of disbelief on her face. In an instant, she was being pulled across the Bone Door.
"No!!!"
Her final shriek was heartbreaking.
Although all of them had always wanted to enter the source of dream masters, none of them had envisioned that it would be through such a means!
In that instant, all the sages were dumbfounded. "What kind of chain is that to be able to trap a sage?"
"As soon as she enters the Bone Door to arrive at the Demonic Heart Realm, she will surely die to my true physical body!"
"Let's give it our all to seal up the door!"
The situation had changed!
The 4 sages who had originally wanted to open the passage to the Demonic Heart Realm were now risking it all to seal up the door!
Although it might seem like a joke, everything was logical!
Under such a life-and-death circumstance, anyone would change their stance to ensure their own survival!
