Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 620: Chapter 385 Ritual God_2

“Is a verbal promise of any use?” Logan waved his hand dismissively, causing the Demonic Sky Taoist’s expression to falter. Since it was no good, why did Logan even make such an offer? Was he toying with them from the Demonic Sky Gate?

Logan smiled amusingly, speaking to himself, “I’ve heard of a master-servant contract. Once signed, it binds the signatory to unconditionally obey another’s commands, especially formidable against Sanctuary Powerhouses. Should one forcefully breach it, they would immediately face suppression by the Heavenly Dao’s Divine Thunder Tribulation.”

“You want me to acknowledge you as my master?” As soon as Logan finished speaking, the Demonic Sky Taoist flew into a complete rage. He himself had already cultivated to the exalted level of the Sanctuary Powerhouse, yet someone dared to make such a demand? This was not just a death wish but also a provocation to all Sanctuary Powerhouses.

Logan shrugged, unfazed, “Think it over. You’re already a prisoner. If you want to leave, you must accept my conditions. Indeed, in the outside world you wouldn’t dare provoke a member of the Sanctuary, but within my barrier screens, drop the act.”

“Delusional!” The Demonic Sky Taoist snapped back coldly. To any member of the Sanctuary, they would rather die in battle than to serve another, especially to someone of a lower realm, let alone a younger person.

In all the years of the Ancient World, no Sanctuary Powerhouse had ever done such a thing. The Demonic Sky Taoist neither wanted nor wished to become the butt of all jokes. Logan’s words were not only a pipe dream but also an overconfidence, thinking that just because he had him trapped in a barrier, he could do as he pleased?

In his eyes, no matter how strong Logan’s barrier screens were, an array always had a point of exhaustion. Given Logan’s strength, the array he set up could at most last a day. He just needed to be patient, and eventually, the victory would be his.

“Don’t think about stalling for time. My barrier array has cost tens of millions of Spirit Stones. I dare not claim much, but I am confident that trapping you for a year or more is within my means, and I can continuously replenish the array with Spirit Stones, so the array’s operation can be extended indefinitely, dragging on until your lives are exhausted.”

Logan saw through the Demonic Sky Taoist’s intentions. His Technique flourished in his hands, and in an instant, the entire barrier shone with Golden Light. It teemed with Spiritual Energy like a sea of stars, and countless Runes devoured the surrounding Laws and spatial order, making the barrier truly seem like another small world.

This moment actually panicked the Demonic Sky Taoist. His initial calmness was based on the belief that Logan’s array would eventually fail. However, now it seemed unlikely. The terrifying aura emitting from the array made it clear that every word Logan had said was true.

As for the possibility of a shortage of Spirit Stones? That was even less likely. Lords and Sect Leaders from the Western Wasteland, fearful of the Demonic Sky Gate, would unconditionally contribute their Spirit Stones, effectively making all the Spirit Stones from the entire Western Wasteland available to Logan.

Just one Lord could bring out more than ten million Spirit Stones a year for Logan, not to mention dozens of Sects. Logan could not only maintain the normal operation of the barrier screens but even reinforce them with additional protection, rendering his own extensive lifespan useless.

“Perhaps, we should ask the Supreme Elder…” As soon as a disciple of the Demonic Sky Gate began to speak, he was fiercely glared at by Azrael Skyward, thinking to make the Sanctuary Powerhouse of their Demonic Sky Gate acknowledge someone else as master? This was intolerable for the Demonic Sky Gate, and absolutely impossible.

All the over twenty thousand disciples looked distressed. Apart from this act, what other options were there? Surely they couldn’t truly end up trapped to death in this array, right? Even though they were all disciples of the Demonic Sky Gate, they were not like the Sect Leader; their lives mattered more than the Sect.

Meanwhile, the Demonic Sky Taoist stared at Logan, releasing his sacred Sanctuary authority, “You’re too presumptuous. Do you really think the fear of the Sanctuary is something you can contend with so easily? So what if I can’t leave this barrier? I don’t think you can either. Let’s see who dies first!”

The next moment, an unanticipated assault took place. The Sanctuary Powerhouse’s Divine Skill fashioned a giant hand, trapping Logan like a massive tidal wave. Despite Logan using many methods, he still found himself unable to move a step; the overwhelming suppression was a hundredfold stronger than his own power.

This scene left the lords outside the barrier dumbstruck and soon filled them with worry for Logan, as he absolutely couldn’t fall into the hands of the Demonic Sky Taoist, lest the latter would threaten to use Logan’s life to force the opposition to open the barrier screens. The advantage they had so difficultly gained would be utterly lost.

Logan immediately employed the runes of the Sanctuary Powerhouse, which finally lifted the restrictions. Fortunately, the Divine Rune could attack ten times, and he had wisely held back a few uses; otherwise, he would’ve nearly fallen into the hands of the Demonic Sky Taoist. It had to be said that his opponent was indeed cunning, seizing the moment Logan was unguarded to launch a sudden attack.

To prevent the Demonic Sky Taoist from pulling the same trick again, Logan had the barrier screens differentiate into an invisible current of air. In this way, even though he remained within the barrier, the Divine Skills of the Demonic Sky Taoist would find it very difficult to reach him unless his strength had reached a level where he could break the array open.

“It seems that today, I must fight to the death!” A touch of battle intent shone in the eyes of the Demonic Sky Taoist. Since ascending to the Sanctuary Powerhouse, he hadn’t felt this sense of crisis in many years, but today he was prepared to fight to the death to prove his strength and dignity.

Gazing at Logan opposite him, his voice was deep and eerie, “Do you know that a Sanctuary Powerhouse can stir the sanctity within their Dantian to amplify their strength a hundredfold? Earlier was just child’s play. You think the rank of Sanctuary Powerhouse is that simple? Now, let me show you the true power.”

In an instant, a force both ancient and supreme burst from the body of the Demonic Sky Taoist. In that moment, countless Laws and the Great Law converged into one point, and the Demonic Sky Taoist seemed like a deity incarnate, able to command everything with but a wave of his hand, turning all that his gaze fell upon to dust.

Even with the barrier screens in place, Cain Scarlet and the others outside were sweating bullets, feeling as if a huge boulder was pressing down on their skulls, where the slightest rustling of grass could cause it to smash down ruthlessly, sending them straight to hell.

The more than twenty thousand disciples of the Demonic Sky Gate who had initially despaired now found themselves in a shocked ecstasy. The Supreme Elder was fighting in earnest; perhaps this could turn everything around. In their eyes, was this the might of a Sanctuary Powerhouse? It was indeed far beyond what they could imagine.

“Do you think I only set up a barrier array?” Logan said with a playful smirk, wanting to provoke the Demonic Sky Taoist. The Killing Array he had painstakingly put in place was finally about to reveal its might. Whether it could destroy a Sanctuary Powerhouse depended on this moment!

With a wave of his hand, Logan caused another array within the barrier screens to soar into the sky. The breath of annihilation formed into a stretch of black clouds a mile wide. Within those clouds, thunder roared and lightning flashed, trapping the Demonic Sky Taoist on the spot. Soon after, countless Thunder and Lightning Laws gathered together.

Having spent forty million Spirit Stones to set it up, Logan flew step by step towards the clouds, “I hope you’re strong enough not to let down my array, specially designed for a Sanctuary Powerhouse. If you can’t withstand it for even a moment and perish, wouldn’t that be a waste of tens of millions of Spirit Stones?”

“I guessed as much.” The Demonic Sky Taoist had been pondering in his heart, suspecting that Logan would not have set up just a single barrier. Since a mere Barrier Array had no offensive power, he had been considering how Logan planned to deal with him. So, Logan had indeed arranged another array within the barrier.

Such was the terrifying power of the Killing Array; however, the Demonic Sky Taoist was not the least bit afraid. After mobilizing the Power of the Saint Seat from his Dantian, his strength had increased by a hundredfold. How could he fear Logan’s so-called Killing Array? Now he intended not only to break Logan’s array but also to resolve the issue of Logan himself.

A Divine Skill of the Saint Seat was being concocted when, in the next moment, an oppressive force from the black clouds descended, instantly causing his Divine Skill to vanish without a trace. This plunged the Demonic Sky Taoist into confusion. What was the meaning of this? The black clouds of Logan’s attacking array actually had such an effect?

Suddenly, within the ominous black clouds, lightning swirled. The next moment, an ancient consciousness enveloped everything, and a broad and terrifying Divine Thunder struck down from the sky. At that instant, the entire space itself seemed to shudder in fear, and the speed of the strike created a sonic boom that made many cover their ears.
