The large stone was no more than four meters long and three meters wide.
In the dense fog, even if someone knew there was such a large stone below, they wouldn’t dare jump down like this.
Lin Xiao slowly stood up and felt around the edge of the cliff for a moment before grabbing onto a vine.
He held on to the vine and quickly descended.
After going straight down for more than thirty meters, Lin Xiao’s feet touched the ground.
The fog grew thicker…
Lin Xiao stood still and squinted his eyes; he tapped his right foot on the ground three times, took five steps to the left, and slowly walked forward six more steps before taking three steps to the right…
Three minutes later, the dense fog in front of him slowly dissipated to reveal a bizarre altar!
The altar was more than thirty meters in diameter, with layers of steps leading upwards.
At the top level, five eerie and terrifying demon statues stood tall!
Each statue was six meters high, shrouded in a terrifying black aura, making them look incredibly frightening in the darkness!
Surrounding the demon statues were embedded skull heads.
Some were human skulls, others monster skulls; they varied in size and shape.
Each skull shimmered with a mysterious glow.
Lin Xiao glanced at the skulls, feeling as if something inside them was staring at him and laughing coldly!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao climbed the steps and made his way to the top of the altar.
Standing at the edge of the altar, Lin Xiao looked towards its center.
There, a massive array was slowly rotating.
Glowing spirit lines, like snakes, quickly slithered around the array.
Strange tadpole-like runes covered the array.
Lin Xiao stared at the array for less than three seconds before feeling as if he was witnessing hell…
Beneath the array seemed to be a world where demons were suppressed.
Countless resentful souls were roaring.
Terrifying blood flowed like a river.
Lin Xiao’s mind trembled, his breathing became rapid, and he quickly turned his head away.
The power of the large array had become stronger.
Over time, this array had been continuously devouring the monsters in Crescent Mountain, absorbing their power.
The power of the array was steadily growing.
However, in reality, this was not the actual large array…
This was just the core of the large array!
The real array had East Sea City at its center and stretched far beyond.
This altar in Crescent Mountain was the array core and the control hub!
When the day came…
The real large array would be activated from here, gathering the power of heaven and earth to shatter the city protection array of East Sea City!
When the East Sea City’s protection array was destroyed…
An endless wave of worm tides and centaurs would flood East Sea City!
Thinking about that scene, Lin Xiao’s heartbeat quickened, and his body trembled!
He would become the key to destroying East Sea City!
Lin Xiao looked at the five demon statues on the altar, his heart roaring in madness.
For the sake of having a demon, to change his fate as a Star Martial Artist, did he really have to do this?
Did he have to cost the entire city to achieve his goals?
The whole main city’s population…
It even included his own people!
“Hmph!”
Lin Xiao covered his mouth, refusing to let himself cry out loud.
He suddenly felt a little scared for the day to come.
In the past, his Master had told him that as long as he helped Nightmare Hall do some tasks, after breaking through to the Fourth Realm, Nightmare Hall would help him contract a powerful demon.
Why would he end up becoming the executioner of his own people in the end?
His Master had said that once he joined Nightmare Hall, he could even contract multiple powerful demons later on.
Master also said that Nightmare Hall’s goal was not the small Blue Star, but the legendary Immortal World… the Heavenly Feather Realm!
As long as Nightmare Hall found the passage back to the Heavenly Feather Realm, he could follow them into the legendary Heavenly Feather Realm.
That was the truly strongman’s world!
Blue Star?
Blue Star was just a small pond.
The Heavenly Feather Realm was the ocean!
A true dragon grew in the depths of the sea!
He had to enter the Heavenly Feather Realm to become a true dragon!
Thinking of the words his Master had told him, Lin Xiao suddenly felt incredibly absurd.
Be it Guardian Beastmasters or Star Martial Artists, who wouldn’t want to become stronger?
Who wouldn’t want to reach the pinnacle?
But by joining Nightmare Hall, could one really become a strongman?
Lin Xiao had indeed seen some strongmen of Nightmare Hall with their incredibly powerful demons.
However…
Lin Xiao felt extremely suffocated in his heart.
Countless thoughts erupted in his mind, constantly intertwining, reaching their peak of confusion.
Would he use his people and the entire city as stepping stones?
If so, he wouldn’t be the one contracting the demon.
He himself would become the demon…
What should I do?
Lin Xiao looked at the Array Core again.
Then, he turned around in a daze and, step by step, walked down from the altar.
In the luxurious villa.
Hong Quan, with white hair and beard, expressionless, poured himself a cup of tea.
A man dressed in armor rushed in, “Master, the guy named Chen Fan really burned down the ‘Protecting Your Beast Nurturing Studio’!”
“He also took away all the valuable things from the studio…”
“Get out!” Hong Quan shouted without looking up.
The armored man immediately shut up, lowered his head, and left.
Hong Quan slowly raised his head, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, and murmured, “Zhang Hai’s disciple, huh?”
“Quite ruthless.”
