Chapter 770: The Pri Demon’s Finger Bone is About to Erge
The group gathered around the unremarkable patch of earth, scrutinizing it from every angle, yet none could discern its secrets.
Could this barren wasteland truly hold clues to the Primordial Demon Soil?
Shen Mo offered no explanation. Instead, he retrieved several arrays, distributing them to Fu Zu and Jiu Yin.
"Do you both still possess arrays?" he inquired.
Fu Zu, puzzled, nodded. "Naturally."
Jiu Yin observed the arrays Shen Mo provided and suddenly asked, "Are we to seal sothing?"
"Exactly," Shen Mo confird.
Jiu Yin then produced an array disk and flags. "I have a sealing array, won from Fu Zu in a wager long ago."
Fu Zu shot him an exasperated glance. "That wager ended in a draw—yet you insist you won."
"Ti and again, you’ve spun the tale to your favor. But to recount it before these juniors? Is this not deliberate?"
"Are you not seeking to prejudice them into thinking you outmatch ?"
Jiu Yin shrugged, unapologetic.
Shen Mo rely smiled faintly.
Soon, the arrays were deployed.
Jiu Yin stated calmly, "With arrays of this strength, even a Sage of the Unrestrained Heaven Realm would be confined."
"Unless their energy is exhausted, nothing within shall escape."
The others nodded in agreent, though confusion lingered.
What, then, did Shen Mo intend?
Would so terror erge from the earth?
Fu Zu transmitted his voice to Jiu Yin, "I scanned with my divine sense—nothing lies beneath."
Jiu Yin stood with hands clasped behind his back. "Your failure speaks for itself."
Fu Zu frowned. "You sensed sothing?"
Jiu Yin’s expression remained impassive. "I did not."
Fu Zu fud, "You—"
At that mont, with the arrays secured, Shen Mo retrieved the core of the Sacred Demon Tree and summoned Mo Mingyu.
Understanding his intent, she sliced her palm and dripped blood onto the core.
Shen Mo imdiately drove it into the ground.
Within monts, the core sprouted roots that burrowed deep into the earth.
Instantly, a rift appeared before them.
Ethereal, elusive, as though unbound by their realm.
A bone-chilling demonic aura seeped forth, tendrils of darkness probing the surroundings like living shadows.
Fu Zu and Jiu Yin furrowed their brows, sensing imnse peril.
Sothing ancient stirred within, on the verge of awakening.
Shen Mo’s voice cut through the tension: "The Pri Demon’s finger bone is about to erge."
"All of you—seal it together!"
Only upon hearing these words did enlightennt strike.
The Pri Demon’s finger bone!
The very relic the three Great Demon Kingdoms had sought for millennia!
The Pri Demon—the first demon born of creation.
The three Great Demon Kingdoms and countless tribes traced their lineage to him.
Yet the Pri Demon possessed no wisdom, only primal instinct—a manifestation of the Demon Path itself.
After begetting the demon race, the Pri Demon vanished alongside the Primordial Demon Soil.
His finger bone was the sole remnant of his existence.
Legends spoke of ancient Sages from the sa era who had sacrificed their lives to unleash a cataclysmic strike—one that severed but a single finger bone.
Many demons believed that possessing the bone might lead them back to the Pri Demon and the Primordial Demon Soil.
But the bone’s whereabouts remained a mystery, lost to ti.
Shen Mo claid it lay within this rift?
If true, they could locate the Primordial Demon Soil before the Demon Race and eradicate it once and for all!
Fu Zu, Jiu Yin, Xiang Yuan, and the Dragon Turtle imdiately assud battle stances, summoning their most potent artifacts and techniques. Mo Mingyu likewise unsheathed her bone spear, her gaze fixed upon the ethereal rift.
In that instant, a skeletal silhouette erupted from the fissure, lunging toward the group.
BOOM!
The specter collided violently with the sealing array, unleashing a deafening roar.
It hurled itself repeatedly against the barrier, yet failed to breach its confines. Layer upon layer of enchantnts—nested arrays, interlocking formations, and superimposed wards—held firm. As Jiu Yin had declared, even an Unrestrained Heaven Realm Sage would be effortlessly confined here.
Only now did the entity reveal its form: a towering skeleton bone, over a man’s height yet unmistakably a finger bone, impossibly colossal. Its surface bore vestigial facial features, twisted in a silent snarl. Within the array, it thrashed and shrieked like a maddened beast.
"Is this the Pri Demon’s finger bone? How enormous!" Xiang Yuan gasped in terror.
The Dragon Turtle mused, "Legends claid the Pri Demon’s form was gargantuan—I dismissed them as myth. Now I see the truth."
Fu Zu added grimly, "None of us have ever beheld the Pri Demon, only heard tales of his mountain-like stature."
Jiu Yin’s expression darkened, "Most alarming is that even this fragnt has developed sentient features."
As they spoke, the finger bone ceased its assault, scanning each of them intently before fixing its hollow gaze upon Shen Mo. After a pause, it spoke:
"You... why... confine ?"
Its voice was halting at first, but by the sentence’s end, it flowed with unnerving fluency.
The group froze in dread. Had it learned their language rely by observing them? Such rapid cognition was horrifying.
The finger bone turned to Shen Mo, "And you—who are you?"
Shen Mo remained silent, studying the entity.
As anticipated, the Life Interface revealed nothing:
[Na: Pri Demon’s Finger Bone]
[Realm: ???]
[Destiny: ???] The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelfire(.)net
[Fate: ???]
[Recent Opportunity: ???]
[Recent Turning Point: ???]
Only its na was legible.
Perhaps artifacts tied to the Pri Demon touch upon the ultimate secrets of this world, Shen Mo reflected. My Life Interface too is one such mystery.
He spoke gravely, "All of you—seal it together!"
"Agreed!" they responded in unison, unleashing their artifacts.
Though formidable, the finger bone was immobilized by the sealing array, leaving it vulnerable. Overwheld by the combined assault of multiple Sages, it could only endure.
Soon, it grew docile, ceasing its struggles. Yet its bone structure remained unscathed—a testant to its nigh-invulnerability.
"The bone possesses an instinct to reunite with its source," Shen Mo explained.
"Use it as a compass, and we will locate the Primordial Demon Soil."
Xiang Yuan frowned, "But how do we transport it? It’s sentient—it won’t fit in a storage pouch."
Fu Zu produced a treasure sack, "I have an artifact capable of containing it."
With a gesture, he shrank the finger bone and sealed it within.
"Proceed," Shen Mo ordered.
