Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2906

Chapter 1419 Sacrifice

Zu An’s heart sank to the bottom. The other party’s reaction clearly indicated they knew he was there from the start.

However, he was more curious about Tu Shan Yu. He initially thought she was someone else impersonating her, but quickly dismissed that guess, because with his eyesight, even his Eye of Truth, he couldn’t possibly miss it.

Sure enough, a wisp of black energy rose from Tu Shan Yu’s body. After the black energy left, she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Her body was indeed Tu Shan Yu’s, but her mind was being controlled.

And the one controlling her wasn’t hard to guess—it was clearly the Heavenly Demon.

Sure enough, the two wisps of black energy gathered together, forming a black Heavenly Demon phantom.

“Young master is indeed quite handsome, much better looking than these Asuras,” the Heavenly Demon phantom chuckled, its voice charming and melodious, clearly belonging to a woman.

Vimalakirti: “…”

Although male Asuras were indeed ugly, saying that to my face was unbecoming.

However, out of respect for the other party’s identity, he didn’t say anything.

At that moment, the illusory figure of the Heavenly Demon clenched its hand, shattering Luo Qiantuo’s heart. Countless drops of blood essence dripped from between its fingers onto the ground.

Luo Qiantuo’s body pointed at her and Bimozhi, opening its mouth, but it could no longer utter a sound, and its entire body collapsed with a crash.

Upon contact with the ground, its massive body seemed to be corroded by something unseen, dissolving at a visible speed.

Strange lines of blood-red light appeared on the originally dark ground, pointing towards the distant mountain. All the blood-red light merged together, seemingly forming a bizarre array.

The mountain shook, emitting a tremor like an earthquake.

Only then did Zu An realize that it wasn’t a mountain at all, but most likely the remains of that so-called Primordial Demon God.

“You are the Heavenly Demon Empress?” Zu An said in a deep voice.

“Indeed clever.” The dark figure chuckled.

“Unfortunately, not clever enough, otherwise, how could I have been ambushed by you?” Zu An sighed. Since Tu Shanyu was the Heavenly Demon Empress’s subordinate and skilled at infiltrating people’s hearts, why hadn’t he thought of this sooner?

“That’s obviously because I’m smarter,” the shadowy figure said smugly.

Vimalakirti seemed somewhat displeased by her familiar conversation with the other, and asked, “Now that Rahu is dead and Tuolaka is dead, how can you bring the Blood Navy Legion to the Abyss of Eternal Night?”

The shadowy figure chuckled, “That’s easy. They still have generals under their command, and those Asuras have all sorts of desires. I’ve already controlled them; they’re probably already outside.”

Vimalakirti’s expression turned grim. After all, he was also an Asura. Although he possessed a special magical artifact that could shield him from demonic invasions, he was still quite wary of the other’s abilities.

He casually waved his hand, and an image appeared in mid-air, showing the Blood Navy Legion arriving at the plaza outside the Abyss of Eternal Night.

A slight smile finally appeared on his serious face: “The great undertaking is nearing completion. Let’s begin now. This fellow is quite strong; perhaps we should sacrifice him as well. The Primordial Demon God would surely be even happier.”

“No way! I find this young man quite pleasing to the eye. I’ll keep him and have some fun.” The shadowy figure let out a silvery laugh, but the content of his words was exceptionally sinister and terrifying.

Vimalakirti was speechless. Women in the world all love these pretty boys, failing to appreciate the heroism of us Asuras. They’re truly blind.

However, compared to his grand plan, this little incident was nothing.

He quickly flew into the air, spreading his nine arms, becoming as tall as a mountain. He held a special scripture in his hand, muttering incantations, clearly beginning the sacrificial ceremony.

Soon, another figure rose from the distance, bound to a flagpole, also possessing nine arms.

Sensing his life force being drained, the Asura awoke from his slumber. Seeing his surroundings, he immediately understood everything and roared, “Vimaci, you’re leading the entire Asura realm to utter destruction!”

Vimaci coldly replied, “For so many years, under your leadership, the Asuras have continuously lost to the Heavenly Court, growing weaker and weaker, even intending to submit. Isn’t this destruction?”

Zu’an instantly recognized him; this was Princess Liuli’s father, the current Asura King.

The Asura King was furious: “I only intend to temporarily cease hostilities with the Heavenly Court, allowing the Asura realm to recuperate. How is that submitting!”

“You can deceive ordinary Asuras with these words, but how can you deceive us? Otherwise, how could we have joined forces to overthrow you?” Vimaci sneered.

The Asura King’s gaze fell upon the corpse of Dharaka and the iconic armor of Raphael, and he couldn’t help but retort, “Where is Raphael now?”

Vimalakirti’s breath caught in his throat, then he angrily retorted, “There’s no need to argue with you now. As long as I sacrifice you, I can resurrect the demon god, defeat the gods, and time will prove me right. I will be a hero in the history of Asura.”

“You’re insane!”

Vimalakirti ignored him and continued his ritual. Soon, streams of life essence began to be drawn from the Asura King, and the entire formation was fully operational.

In the aerial view, the Blood Navy Legion on the outer perimeter began to become restless, staring blankly at the blood-red vortex that had suddenly appeared above them. Although they didn’t know what had happened, it was clearly not a good thing.

Zuan then sized up the black phantom beside him: “What’s your name?”

Now that everything was on track, the black phantom was quite relaxed: “Don’t you know I’m the Heavenly Demon Empress?”

“That’s just your title and identity, not your name.”

The black phantom was taken aback: “In your current situation, you actually care about such trivial matters?”

Zuan smiled slightly: “The Heavenly Demon Empress is renowned throughout the Three Realms. Now I die at your hands, yet I don’t even know your name. It’s truly a great regret.”

The black phantom chuckled: “No wonder my loyal subordinate was seduced and betrayed me by you. You’re not only good-looking, but you also have a pleasant voice. But I’ll disappoint you, I have no name, or rather, my name is simply Heavenly Demon Empress. Not only do all the forces call me that, but it’s also the name I’ve known since I can remember.”

“I see,” Zuan said with some surprise, “Legend has it that the Heavenly Demon Empress is the most beautiful woman in the world. As the saying goes, to die under a peony is to be a romantic ghost. If one could see her beauty before death, it would truly be a life without regrets.”

“You’re certainly glib, but why should I oblige?” The black phantom suddenly stopped smiling.

Zuan sighed, “It seems the rumors are wrong. You’re probably not that good-looking, which is why you dare not show your true face.”

The black phantom snorted, “Trying to provoke me?”

The Demon Empress’s anger level increased by 444…

“This isn’t a provocation, but rather stating a fact: all the beautiful women I’ve met never deliberately hide their faces. On the contrary, some of the less attractive ones use obscure methods to portray themselves as beauties.” Zu’an certainly didn’t want to see the other person’s appearance, but the Heavenly Demon was formless and intangible. If she couldn’t reveal her true form, she would remain invincible.
