Way of the Devil Chapter 277

But Lu Sheng didn't seem to notice because his body was also growing while the cave was expanding .

At this rate, he even started to feel that the cave was getting smaller .

'Eight-Headed Griffon… A legendary beast which, according to legends, can swallow the sun . The primordial being that gave all things their Yang side . Everywhere it goes, it brings drought and torrid summer as well as blazing vitality . I didn't expect the Yin Flame to turn into this when it was strengthened to this stage . '

He looked at the Yin Flame tab: the evolve button disappeared despite there still being plenty of Mental Energy left . This meant . . .

'This means that the secret art has reached its final stage . It has reached its physical and theoretical limit . ' Lu Sheng remembered when he encountered a similar situation before .

'This secret art has been fused with a large number of complicated techniques and other secret arts; it can't be called only the Three Yin Technique anymore .

Since it evolved using Mental Energy, appeared in the form of Eight-Headed Griffon, and is contained inside of a pearl, I might as well call it the Eight-Headed Divine Pearl . '

He modified the name with the cheating device .

'Eight-Headed Divine Art: 8th tier, Special Effect: Eight-Headed Divine Pearl, fire strengthening level 5 . "

'Might as well test this pearl's power . ' Lu Sheng had a feeling this pearl could unleash some devastating power . Since he was deep under the Prime Devil Sect right now, he didn't have to worry about any accidental damage to the sect .

He looked left and right, decided on a direction, and started clawing deeper into the cave .

After digging several hundred meters, Lu Sheng threw the Eight-Headed Divine Pearl forward while taking cover at the same time .

The pearl, which just left Lu Sheng's hand, started melting layer after layer of rocks as soon it came into contact with the cave wall .

Lu Sheng didn't even realize where the pearl disappeared to until he felt an earthquake as the entire cave around him was shaking .

"Hiss!"

A beam of purple light erupted out of the ground and formed a pillar of purple flame .

Then immediately, a second one appeared, then a third one, and a fourth . . .

"Crack crack crack!"

Column after column of purple flame erupted from the ground, and upon hitting the rock ceiling, punctured it to create quite a few black holes .

"Buzzz . . . "

The cave began to tremble and shake as if it was getting pulled by some immense force .

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, the rocks under Lu Sheng's feet began to collapse . Unprepared, he fell down with them .

As he was falling with the rocks, Lu Sheng just then realized that he was standing on top of a big cavern and the Eight-Headed Divine Pearl was resting peacefully on the back of a huge minotaur with deer antlers .

The ceiling of the cavern was filled with rocky spikes that pinned the minotaur in place, as if the whole place was made to seal him away .

"Hissss!"

The Eight-Headed Divine Pearl continuously shot out purple beams of fire, sending them in all directions .

Lu Sheng noticed that around one-third of the spikes were melted off . He squinted his eyes and backflipped lightly onto a large rock .

The humongous thirty meters tall minotaur seemed to be waking up from an ancient dream .

He let out a low groan; the many ropes tied to his black beard swayed as he shook his head .

"Mooooo . . . "

A tremendously heavy sound started echoing throughout the cavern . The minotaur started to let out huge jets of white air, gradually opening its dark-red eyes with strange symbols on them .

Lu Sheng walked up a few steps and looked up at the beast with one of his feet on a rock .

Lu Sheng couldn't even compete with the size of the thirty meter tall body even in his Extreme Yang Form .

"Who are you…?" the minotaur spoke in a slow voice . "I can smell a heavy fragrance from your body… are you a new type of sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice?" Lu Sheng quickly understood what the beast was .

It must have been the rumored devil that was sealed in the deepest part of the Prime Devil Sect . And this kind of devil . . .

He lowered his head and cracked a smile, his dense and sharp rows of teeth reflecting a cold and cruel light .

"I have wanted to test my power against a sealed demon for a long time . But I couldn't find any until now . "

"Oh??" The minotaur with deer antlers put on a shocked expression . "You mean, you want to challenge me?"

"Challenge?" Lu Sheng raised his head . Strangely, he could also smell a heavy fragrance from the minotaur . And this said fragrance was mixed with a hint of weakness .

"I simply want to… KILL YOU!! Yin Yang Integration Mode!"

Countless purple flames exploded as Lu Sheng's body expanded at a rapid rate, jumping from Extreme Yang Form to Yin Yang Integration—liquid and gas combustion mode .

The rock under Lu Sheng feet splintered into many pieces, appearing in front of the minotaur in an instant .

"Die!!!" Lu Sheng chopped at the minotaur's head with both of his arms .

"You mere sacrifice!!" The minotaur let out a roar in rage, his hands extended in front of him and clasping toward Lu Sheng .

"Boom!!!"
　　
***

In a quiet and dark secret chamber, a single ray of sunlight shone on Huang Fu's eyelids .

His eyes were shut, while the rest of his body was buried in shadow .

Outside of the secret chamber, a guarding disciple reported respectfully, "Senior Apprentice Brother . Sect Brother Bai from Wan Shun Palace is here again, saying he's here with some information . "

Huang Fu's eyes were still closed as if he hadn't heard anything at all .

The disciple was really confused, and decided to repeat the sentence .

After a moment, Huang Fu slowly opened his eyes . Red gleam shone under his eyes for a brief moment before disappearing .

"Let him in," he said in a low voice .

"Of course . "

The disciple backed away slowly .

Huang Fu sat there cross-legged for a little more before slowly rising and proceeding to open the door of the chamber . Bai Xiu was waiting for him outside .

"Ah Fu, the situation is not looking good!" Bai Xiu said with an ugly expression .

"Can you not call me Ah Fu?" Huang Fu replied grudgingly . "What happened?"

"Something happened in the city . Last night, the warden received forty-three arrest warrants, and all of the suspects taken are civilians without prior criminal record!" Bai Xiu replied in a serious manner .

"Oh?" Hearing this, Huang Fu's expression turned serious as well . "Where are those people now?"

"All kept in the western city's underground jail . "

"Bring me there!" Huang Fu adjusted his clothes . A strange feeling arose in chest .

The two left the West Infinity Court's camp, each riding towards the underground jail in the western city .

After arriving, a jailer received their orders, then offered to lead the way himself .

"Lords, we got all of them just last night . You should have seen them! Every single one of them acted like they were out of their mind . All of them talked in a crazed manner, unable to even answer questions . Some of my brothers even got bitten by few of those mad men!"

"Lead us in first," Huang Fu said in a low voice .

"Yes, yes, of course . What one hears might not be the truth . " The jailer seemed to have received a few years of education, saying such a fancy sentence .

Even though he didn't know who exactly the two men were, they must have been very important if they could make his superior relay the orders to him in person .

If he didn't serve them well, there might be big trouble for him in the future .

He brought the two men inside of Yamen's jail, but stopped before a tunnel entrance .

"Huh? Where are Chen and Li? It was their shift last night, right?" The jailer seemed very confused .

Bai Xiu's expression turned gloomy as he asked in a low voice, "Are you referring to the two who were keeping watch during the night?"

"Yes, yes, yes . Replying to the lord's question, it must be those two . Even if one was using the toilet, there has to be another present . Or else, should they get caught by the patrol, their salaries would be deducted," the jailer explained .

"So be it; we can't wait any longer . If the two lords will follow my insignificant personage . I have brought the keys, the first three levels are all open," the jailer said in a slightly proud voice and strode toward the heavy iron door .

"Snap . "

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder .

"Wait," Huang Fu said in a low voice .

Before the jailer could respond, he walked up slowly, and wiped away some blood in the inside corner of the gate .

"There might've been an incident," Huang Fu warned . He pushed the gate lightly; it turned out the gate wasn't locked at all and opened by itself .

"Wha . . . !!?" The jailer was dumbstruck . Still holding the keys, he didn't even know what happened before the two lords directly walked in .

He hurriedly followed .

That turned out to be a mistake, for the scene in front of him nearly made him puke out all his dinner from last night:

Bloody body parts ripped away from their body, a head that had been squished into mush, a body that had been cut apart, and a whole wall painted with blood, like a thick carpet .

"Watch out!" Bai Xiu suddenly pulled the jailer back .

"Bam!"

A two meter wide shadow slowly stood up beside the jail .

"Hisssss . . . "

It was a being that looked like human but was not actually human, showing some qualities similar to a snake's .

It looked like a giant spider, its four pale limbs supporting it on the ground as it kept on crawling forward slowly . Its hands and feet were also covered with various tumors of grape-like size .

"Seems to be… the Scarlet Devil!!?" Bai Xiu's face turned pale the instant he saw this thing .

"Ding-ling . . . "

Suddenly, a dense and intense wave of wind chime rings sounded above the entire White Bell City . The countless number of wind chimes on the high tower all started their ring of alert .

"Hissss!"

A white dot of light darted towards the sky .

Immediately after, hundreds, almost thousands, more followed .

The whole sky seemed to be filled with white light; all of them connected and intertwined, forming a landscape painting that could cover more than half of White Bell City .

"Greet the sky and the moon return, the wind howls and spins nine rounds . " An inky black figure shot into the sky, integrating itself into the painting, like a black dot in a white canvas, clearly as daylight .

"Go forth!!" The person pointed his sword forward .

Instantly the whole painting flew forward, meeting the oncoming flood of black matter .

"That's the Shangyang Family's Sky and Moon Landscape Formation! All of the Painters are deployed!" Bai Xiu's eyes were fixed on their actions .

"Those are…" Huang Fu, on the other hand, was focused on the flood of an inky black devil horde afar .

"Devil Horde Calamity!" Bai Xiu's blood in his face drained in an instant too .

In the midst of the countless devils, inside of the inky black formation, two enormous silver-gray eyes appeared vaguely, observing White Bell City from another dimension .

Under the horrifying heat, the cave around Lu Sheng had melted and expanded to be several times larger than it originally was . Vast amounts of rock had turned to lava and began to flow down . But Lu Sheng didnt seem to notice because his body was also growing while the cave was expanding . At this rate, he even started to feel that the cave was getting smaller .
