Dominating Martial King

Chapter 2025: Chapter 661: Absolutely Foolproof

In the world’s imagination, the Burial Sky Demon Palace is either magnificent and luxurious, with huge halls filled with feasts and revelry, and countless demon servants bustling about; or it is a place where blood lights upheavals the sky, surrounded by thousands of strong warriors, with long spears like a forest, swords and axes like mountains, and flags blocking out the sky.

However, Burial Sky’s true residence is one of extreme simplicity.

It is empty, with no decorations or living implements. In the hall spanning thousands of feet, besides a few ever-burning lamps and a few divine weapons that Burial Sky often uses, there is nothing else, filled with cold silence.

Burial Sky’s towering divine body sits in the center of the hall, with his eyes closed, as motionless as a rock.

However, from the surface of his body, threads of fresh blood seep out, ultimately gathering into a bloody mist beneath him.

One can see countless resentful evils in the form of human heads and various fierce beasts devouring Burial Sky’s fresh blood. As they gnaw on his flesh and blood, they also make horrifying hideous roars at Burial Sky.

When Li Tan entered the hall, this was what he saw.

He couldn’t help but furrow his thick brows.

Though the blood sacrifice is the same, Burial Sky’s approach is different from theirs.

Li Tan and Ziyu would do everything they could to obliterate those resentful spirits to alleviate the pressure they bear to the fullest extent.

But Burial Sky believes those resentful spirits are sins he should bear.

Except when he is traveling outside or in combat status will he consciously restrain them, the rest of the time, Burial Sky lets them be, letting them run rampant and devour his flesh and blood.

Luckily, Burial Sky has the powerful Blood of Ten Thousand Ages. No matter how much his Qi-Blood is gnawed, there’s always more, so even though Li Tan was somewhat displeased, he refrained from speaking out.

But even so—

Li Tan sighed inwardly and sat down in front of Burial Sky.

"I’ve received news that someone in the Star Sky released a message, saying you’ll inevitably become a Fallen Demon within ten days."

"Fallen Demon?"

Burial Sky opened the eyes on his chest, revealing a pair of scarlet pupils: "I’m still far from becoming a Fallen Demon now."

If no combat occurs, and he completely ignores external affairs, he can probably maintain his sanity for more than a year.

Burial Sky then seemed to understand: "Is it Shen Prajna? Is he so confident, certain that I’ll become a Fallen Demon within ten days?"

"It should be him. This person plans and arranges, always in between truth and falsehood, illusion and reality, making it hard for people to discern and causing anxiety. Releasing this message now might be to disrupt our camp."

Li Tan rubbed his brow: "I’ve used all our resources to investigate thoroughly. The latest news is that the Four Great Divine Mountains north of the Mortal World are gathering the Slave Tribe population, possibly to conduct a grand blood sacrifice in the near future, with a scale that may exceed one billion people, unprecedented."

He suddenly felt his spirit stir, sensing a wisp of golden light suddenly appear outside his residence in the Zhan Chi Realm.

Shen Universal Illumination?

There was a hint of surprise in Li Tan’s eyes, followed by a bitter smile: "See, even Chu Xisheng in the Mortal World has already learned of this matter."

But what truly astonished him was that Chu Xisheng had somehow connected with Shen Universal Illumination.

Even capable of using Shen Universal Illumination to convey messages for him.

Burial Sky’s reaction, however, was very indifferent: "Then let them conduct the blood sacrifice."

He would not let this new wave of resentful evil overwhelm his spirit.

Nor would he be fooled and coerced by the threat of sacrificing a billion Slave Tribe lives.

It is indeed a cruel and painful matter, but compared to the fate of countless future members of the Human Clan, it is insignificant.

Burial Sky had long judged the world with such a cold attitude, scrutinizing the Mortal World.

Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people as straw dogs.

"Naturally, let them be."

Li Tan was equally indifferent to the lives of these Slave Tribe people.

"However, if Shen Prajna’s methods are limited to this, he would not have been able to control the fate of countless gods in this realm in the palm of his hand."

His eyes were extremely grave: "This person, openly announcing his scheme to the public, must have absolute confidence that he can achieve his goal."

Upon hearing these words, Burial Sky was noncommittal. He used the scarlet eyes on his chest to look at the ’Luo Hou’ star in the boundless Star Sky.

An endless battle intent burned fiercely in his eyes.

"Since even you say so, then Shen Prajna is probably not bluffing. In this situation, the only course is to fight with all my might."

He has never been skilled in strategy, only having his courage and valor to rely on.

Li Tan, however, felt even more headache.

He lowered his hand that was pressing against his brow.

"It hasn’t come to that yet. Ziyu and I are strategizing to counter this. There is also Chu Xisheng in the Mortal World — if you don’t trust us, can’t you at least trust him?"

He gazed firmly at Burial Sky, his expression exceedingly serious: "Promise me, within this year, no matter what changes occur outside, no matter what unavoidable circumstances arise, you must not leave this place!"

Finally, Burial Sky retracted his gaze from the Star Sky to meet Li Tan’s eyes.

After a long time, he solemnly nodded slowly: "I’ll do my best."

Meanwhile, in the Mortal World, to the west of Wang’an City, within a vast underground cavern.

This cavern was recently excavated by the combined efforts of Daning’s Inner Court and the Imperial Palace’s Police Pool of Blood.

Due to the Daning Dynasty’s increasingly strained finances, this underground cavern’s interior walls are rough and uneven, without any adornments.

The lighting here is sparse, creating a dark, cold, and eerie atmosphere.

In the deepest part of the cavern, Emperor Jianyuan looked excitedly, face flushed, at a mutant beast before him with a dragon-like head and long neck, but a body resembling a dog.
