Lord of Wuji Descends
"Are you saying that in that small stone, there are at least a million souls?"
The Sixth Hall was stunned, "Where did he get so many souls??"
After a brief pause, the gazes of the two simultaneously fell on the three people behind Brand, and then thinking of the Red Dust Main City that had recently suffered heavy losses, an unbelievable answer surged into the minds of the two...
"It was you?!!" The Seventh Hall blurted out. "You personally planned the attack on the Red Dust Domain?! Using the lives of our Red Dust Domain's residents to refine the Philosopher's Stone?!!"
"Are you crazy?!!!!"
"Don't be so agitated, you misunderstood!" Brand shrugged and picked up the Glass container in his hand. "This Philosopher's Stone was refined after we refined two major districts of the Wuji Domain... It has nothing to do with your Red Dust Domain."
The two Hall Masters froze.
Immediately after, Brand reached his hand back. One of the three black-robed figures took out a second Glass container from his embrace and handed it to Brand.
He smiled slightly and said:
"This one is the one refined in your Red Dust Domain."
The pupils of the two Hall Masters shrank abruptly!!
They flew into a rage and were just about to take action, when several black shadows simultaneously swept out from the hidden doors of the Church, and terrifying Divine Path Auras suddenly crashed down!
These black shadows were almost uniformly 7th-rank. The top Combat Power of the entire Witchcraft Association had long been ambushing within the Church, just for the strike at this moment!
Although the two Hall Masters were formidable, being in the lair of the Wuji Domain and facing an entire Witchcraft Association that had completed its reshuffling, their Auras at this moment were like remnants of a candle fluttering in the wind, swaying unstably, faint and insignificant.
At the same time, Brand chuckled lightly, and a Rank 8 Aura suddenly descended. Alchemy Arrays unfolded beneath his feet, like nested rings, enveloping the two within!
"Brand! You're crazy!" The Sixth Hall rebuked angrily. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Murdering the Former Association President, usurping the power of the Witchcraft Association, forcing the Witchcraft faction to rebel, sacrificing millions of humans, provoking a Realm War." Brand spoke lightly, "I did it all, but I am not crazy."
"Just to refine a few broken stones! You're going to push all of humanity into the abyss?"
"No, no, no, these are no broken stones."
Brand cupped the two Philosopher's Stones with both hands, looked up at the calm and rippleless Mercury Moon overhead, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "This is the ladder to ascend to the Tenth Rank Divine Rank... It is the cornerstone for forging the Eternal Domain! What we are doing, you will not understand."
"Do you think that with just one Witchcraft Association, you can escape the encirclement and suppression of the other Human Domains?!"
"Witchcraft Association? No, of course that's not enough..." Brand paused for a moment,
"But what if we also have a Nine Monarchs at his peak state, possessing Immortality?"
The two Hall Masters froze in place.
Brand opened the two Glass containers and solemnly caught the two Philosopher's Stones with his hands. Facing the Mercury Moon overhead, he slowly knelt on the ground...
He cupped the Philosopher's Stones with both hands, raising them high above his head, excitement and fanaticism flashing in his eyes:
"Respectfully welcoming... Lord of Wuji."
The next moment, ripples suddenly rippled across the surface of the calm and rippleless Mercury Moon, like a torrential rain pouring on a calm lake. A magnificent and extremely oppressive Aura filled the inside of the Church!
Two mercury palms extended downwards from within the sphere, gently grasped the two Philosopher's Stones in Brand's palms, and then retreated back into the Mercury Moon...
The Philosopher's Stones emitting a red light rolled within the Mercury Moon. The red light within grew increasingly vigorous, and faint wailing sounds of souls could even be heard coming from within, making one's scalp go numb!
Inside the Church, everyone held paused their breath, nervously watching this scene. Only the Sixth Hall and Seventh Hall exchanged a glance, a glimmer of resolute light flashing in their eyes.
When the red light emitted by the Philosopher's Stones gradually dimmed, the Mercury Moon fell into dead silence once more...
Hum——!
A low rumble came from within the Mercury Moon,
A pair of human palms formed of mercury suddenly slowly protruded from within, followed by forearms, shoulders... until finally, a complete human figure walked out from it, hovering steadily in mid-air.
After he walked out, the Mercury Moon behind him shrank by nearly a third, but it still hovered in the mid-air of the Church, exuding a heart-palpitating Aura...
It was a human formed entirely of mercury. At the center of his brows, two red Philosopher's Stones were inlaid, emitting a faint luster.
The man lowered his head slightly, looking at his own body and palms flowing with mercury, as if pondering.
After a brief silence, he took a step again, stepping on the void step by step towards the ground...
With every step he took, his body formed of mercury violently agitated. Countless material substances were born, transformed, and Annihilated within his body. From afar, it looked like a human-shaped flashing light sign, so dazzling one couldn't look straight at it.
As these materials continuously generated, his body finally gradually changed from mercury into a color similar to human skin. He possessed black hair, translucent fingernails, distinct muscle contours, and three-dimensional facial features...
When his feet finally stepped onto the golden ground, his appearance was already no different from a normal human, save for the two Philosopher's Stones at the center of his brows, which brought a trace of mysterious beauty to his appearance;
He walked calmly naked in the golden Church. With a casual swipe of his fingertips on the bench, a white scientific research coat transformed out from the gold. He lightly raised his hands and put it on, the hem of the coat dancing gently with the breeze.
If Chen Ling were here, he would be able to recognize this person's appearance at a glance...
Former member of the Red Star Exploration Team, currently one of the Nine Monarchs of humanity;
Lord of Wuji, Lou Yu.
Seeing the Lord of Wuji actually walk out of the Mercury Moon and appear before their eyes, everyone in the Witchcraft Association was stunned in place for a moment... Only Brand was the first to recover. He excitedly opened his arms and shouted loudly:
"Respectfully welcoming the Lord of Wuji!!!"
"——Respectfully welcoming the Lord of Wuji!" The others also finally reacted and spoke respectfully.
The Lord of Wuji didn't care about everyone's calls. He just stood there quietly, his gaze glancing at the surrounded two Hall Masters, and casually raised his hand.
The next moment, in front of the brows of the two Hall Masters, two blinding balls of light suddenly lit up, burning fiercely like miniature suns. Before they could react, they exploded with a loud bang!
Boom——!!
Two earth-shattering explosions sounded, and fierce firelight filled every corner of the Church. Even the Witchcraft Association members closer to the two were swept in, and bursts of exclamations echoed throughout the Church!
