Down below, Patriarch Valen raised his hands, signaling for silence as the sinister applause faded back into a tense, expectant hush.

"To commemorate this milestone," Valen continued, a cruel, fanatic smile stretching across his gaunt face, "we shall inaugurate the ritual of the Eclipse. Bring forth the catalyst!"

At his command, heavy iron grates set into the floor behind the elevated thrones slowly parted.

A massive, obsidian altar—etched with pulsing runes of dark, coagulated blood—rose from

  • Chapter 681: the Great Molech

    With his own life now at stake, how could Valen possibly accept it?No, even if he had to sacrifice everyone else, he would not hesitate to do so to save himself. With that in mind, he turned towards the artifact they had originally brought into the hall.The artifact was connected to the demon Valen and the rest of those in the trafficking ring worshipped.Indeed, they were all in a cult.But instead of asking for power like demonic cultivators, they sought riches and control instead. In any case, for the artifact to work, a sacrifice had to be made.Unfortunately, Valen couldn't get his hands on the captives trapped in the basement of the building.But that didn't mean there was no replacement. All he had to do now was simple. “Great Molech, please do not forsake me now. Give me the power I need to vanquish this insignificant pest and as payment, take the lives of all living beings in this hall!” Valen exclaimed, stunning everyone present. The other eleven leaders knew that Val

  • Chapter 680: In the name of the Heavens

    A dense, impenetrable spatial boundary enveloped the entire Obsidian Palace, spanning from deep beneath the subterranean bedrock all the way into the heavens.No matter how furiously the guards struck or how many defensive talismans Valen burned, the barrier remained utterly immovable.Alistair had erected an absolute spatial domain the very second he plunged into the ballroom.Not a single soul bearing the stain of the shadow council would leave this hall alive.He had sworn an oath to the heavens, and today, justice would be served in full.Meanwhile, Talia, Sonia, and Dahlia moved like lethal shadows amidst the chaos.With fluid, practiced precision, their micro-blades flashed in silver arcs, granting swift, painless mercy to the tragic, mutated victims.They did not strike out of malice, but out of profound pity, severing the corrupted meridian bonds to free the agonizing souls trapped within those ruined shells."Rest now," Talia whispered softly, her blade cleanly piercing the h

  • Chapter 679: The cultivator named Crimson

    The next moment, Alistair sensed several dark energy sources.The girls with him immediately put up their guard as they laid eyes on the sources of the dark energy.They were people, but something was fundamentally wrong.They were crawling on all fours like animals, their eyes were blood red and their veins were bulging. They looked like rabid beasts. Alistair's heart nearly broke at the sight. “This…”“They were unable to handle the backlash of the pills I created but I am not a wasteful person. So I turned them into my loyal dogs.” Crimson coldly said. The grotesque, twitching forms of Crimson’s human hounds filled the obsidian ballroom, letting out low, guttural whimpers that grated against the nerves.Once innocent victims whose minds had been completely shattered by the demonic backlash of the Blood-Soul Pills, they now scrambled across the polished marble like rabid beasts, saliva dripping from their bared, bloodstained fangs.Talia, Sonia, and Dahlia instinctively shifted

Bring forth the catalyst!"At his command, heavy iron grates set into the floor behind the elevated thrones slowly parted.A massive, obsidian altar—etched with pulsing runes of dark, coagulated blood—rose from the subterranean depths.Bound tightly to the center of the altar was a shimmering, celestial energy matrix, vibrating with pure life-force.Alistair’s golden eyes flashed with sudden, blinding fury.The "catalyst" wasn't an ordinary artifact; it was a captured fragment of divine ley-line energy, stolen to serve as the anchor for whatever abomination the shadow council was trying to birth.Across the grand hall, the heavy, reinforced bronze exit doors began to slowly grind shut, sealed from the

  • Chapter 677: The Annual Eclipse Ball

    The moment the echoes died away, Talia lifted her head.The trembling, fragile posture vanished instantly, replaced by an aura of razor-sharp deadliness.With a casual flick of her wrists, she channeled a fraction of her internal Qi.SNAP.The heavy, estate-grade iron manacles shattered like brittle glass.Sonia and Dahlia effortlessly slipped out of their bindings a second later, stretching their limbs with quiet efficiency.Across the corridor, a young captive woman pressed her face against the rusted bars of the adjacent cell, gasping in shock. "Y-You're not... you're not helpless...""Please!" a desperate man whispered loudly from another cell, reaching his bruised hands through the bars. "If you can break the chains, open our doors too! They're going to sacrifice us! Please don't leave us here!"A chorus of desperate, hushed pleas erupted from the surrounding dark cells, the captives begging for their freedom.Talia stepped up to the bars, her silver-gray eyes softening with prof

    The transport truck surged forward, rolling past the outer checkpoint and entering the obsidian courtyards of the estate.The trap was fully closed.As the truck came to a halt in the dimly lit loading bay, Alistair raised his head, his golden eyes glowing with a cold, absolute light in the shadows."We are in," Alistair said quietly, his voice carrying effortlessly to his operatives. "Remember, don't engage anyone. Wait until there is no guard with you. Break out of your bindings and create an opening for me to slip in.”Talia, Sonia, and Dahlia cracked their knuckles beneath their dresses, identical, lethal smiles touching their lips. "Understood, boss."The rear doors of the truck unlocked with a heavy click.The Annual Eclipse Ball had begun, and the executioners had arrived.The heavy transport truck glided silently into the cavernous shadows of Sector C's loading bay.Overhead, industrial pipes hissed, venting faint plumes of steam into the damp, chilling air of the estate's low
