110: Chaos Summoning 1

The clouds above Burning Sky Valley were stained as if by fresh blood, and a crimson-black light pillar pierced through heaven and earth, illuminating the entire valley like a purgatory.

When Xiao Yan and the two others arrived, the altar at the bottom of the valley had already activated, and ancient runes lit up one after another, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

“It’s even faster than expected,” Ling Xiao’s silver eyes reflected the sky-piercing light pillar, his voice grave, “He is opening the passage for the Chaos Devourer to descend.”

The black threads in Xiao Yan’s right eye flickered slightly, resonating with the light pillar.

Ever since the three spirits briefly merged, his perception of Chaos energy had become even more acute—at this moment, he could clearly feel that the light pillar contained not only Burning Sky Old Ancestor’s power but also some older, hungrier existence attempting to break through the boundary.

“Big Brother, are you alright?” Xiao Bing noticed the abnormality in Xiao Yan’s right eye.

His condition was much more stable than before, with his left eye ice-blue and his right eye crimson, but there was no longer any pain; instead, a strange, balanced luster flowed within them.

Xiao Yan pressed his right eye: “It’s… calling me.”

The information transmitted by the black threads was unsettling: “Burning Sky Old Ancestor isn’t merely summoning the Chaos Devourer… He’s turning himself into a passage!”

The three descended onto a cliff on the outskirts of Burning Sky Valley.

From here, they could overlook the entire valley floor—the original magma lake had dried up, revealing the ancient altar in the center.

Burning Sky Old Ancestor stood at the highest point of the altar, his red robes fluttering, his hands raised high, and a continuous stream of crimson-black energy surged from his body into the light pillar.

Even more alarming was that dozens of black-robed figures knelt around the altar; their bodies were twisted and deformed, some had grown extra arms, and some had unidentifiable objects wriggling beneath their skin, clearly deeply corrupted.

“Those are…” Ling Xiao gasped.

“Completely transformed believers,” Xiao Yan’s voice was low, “Purification Sect seeks absolute purification, while Burning Sky Old Ancestor desires complete corruption… two extremes.”

Xiao Bing gripped the Ice Flame Longsword in his hand: “We must stop him.

Once the Chaos Devourer’s true form descends…”

Before he finished speaking, Burning Sky Old Ancestor suddenly turned his head to look in their direction!

Even from such a distance, the three could feel the madness and joy in that gaze.

“You’ve arrived! My dear Junior Brothers!” Burning Sky Old Ancestor’s voice, amplified by energy resonance, echoed throughout the valley, “Just in time to witness a great moment!”

The scar on his right eye suddenly split open, revealing a pitch-black void—it wasn’t an ordinary wound, but a miniature vortex constantly devouring the surrounding light!

Even more terrifyingly, something was wriggling deep within the vortex, as if alive.

The black threads in Xiao Yan’s right eye instantly erupted, extending uncontrollably across half his face!

Excruciating pain struck him, and he dropped to one knee, a scene from Flame Lord’s memory suddenly flashing through his mind—the young Flame Lord sealing a mass of black substance into Chi Yan’s right eye.

“That’s… the core of the first seed of chaos!” Xiao Yan suddenly realized, “Flame Lord wasn’t trying to harm him back then… he was saving him!”

Burning Sky Old Ancestor seemed to sense Xiao Yan’s thoughts and burst into maniacal laughter: “Have you finally understood? My dear Revered Master gave me the most precious gift!”

He caressed the black hole in his eye socket, “After all these years, it has perfectly fused with me… Now, it’s time to welcome the mother!”

All the runes on the altar lit up, and the crimson-black light pillar suddenly expanded!

The sky was torn open, revealing a massive rift, and countless outlines of wriggling tentacles emerged from the darkness—the Chaos Devourer’s true form was attempting to break through the Plane barrier!

“No time!” Ling Xiao formed hand Seals, and the nexus seed appeared before his chest, “We must interrupt the ritual!”

Xiao Bing nodded, and the Ice Flame Longsword burst forth with alternating crimson and blue light: “I’ll clear the way!”

The three charged towards the valley floor simultaneously.

Burning Sky Old Ancestor sneered and waved his hand, commanding: “Stop them!”

The corrupted believers let out inhuman howls, their twisted bodies lunging forward at incredible speed.

Xiao Bing bore the brunt, his longsword sweeping across; wherever the ice flame passed, three black-robed figures instantly froze and then burst into fragments!

But more believers surged forward, some even self-detonating, their splattering black liquid highly corrosive.

“Be careful not to get any on you!” Xiao Yan warned, as a green-black flame shield blocked the splashing liquid.

Upon contact, the flames sizzled—the Chaos energy could actually corrode his abnormal flames!

Ling Xiao stood in the middle, his silver hair fluttering, and the Spirit of the Plane’s power formed countless fine threads that precisely pierced into the believers’ foreheads: “Their life force is being extracted to supply the altar!”

He tried to sever the connection but found that the other ends of those threads were connected to the black hole in Burning Sky Old Ancestor’s right eye!

“He’s devouring them!” Ling Xiao’s face turned pale.

A dangerous thought suddenly transmitted from the black threads in Xiao Yan’s right eye—he could, in turn, control these corrupted individuals!

This idea startled even him, but the situation was critical now…

“Cover me!” Xiao Yan shouted to his two Junior Brothers, then closed his eyes, actively guiding the black thread energy to spread outwards.

A strange thing happened—the black-robed figures who had been attacking frantically suddenly froze, then uniformly turned towards Xiao Yan, like soldiers awaiting orders.

Burning Sky Old Ancestor showed a surprised expression for the first time: “You can actually control my servants?”

Xiao Yan didn’t answer because he was paying a huge price—as the black thread energy was released, a memory was disappearing… the scene of Old Yao teaching him to refine his first Medicinal Pill became blurry!

But at this moment, there was no other choice; he gritted his teeth and commanded: “Stop the altar!”
