Chapter 340

340 THE BACKSTABBER AND THE SCHEMER

“What just happened?” The tree asked.

“It looked like the evil soul entered the boy’s body.” The Altar was trying to make sense of the situation too. It knew that the evil soul was extremely weakened at the moment since Li Meng’s power was beyond its level to handle and destroy most of Hell’s energy. What he didn’t understand is how it could enter Li Meng’s body at such a weak state.

“Are you sure? I felt like his power levels were normal and the era even now. He is actively consuming my power and dealing with the hell-energy. You might have read the situation wrong.” The extreme Yin tree insisted.

“I am reporting what I just saw. I did see the evil soul entering the boy’s body”

“What should we do then?” The extreme Yin tree asked.

“It is not up to you to decide. The evil soul was successfully purged by the boy and hence our agreement was fulfilled. You will now keep your end of the bargain.” The Keeper spoke straightforwardly.

“The deal was to eliminate the evil soul.”

“Could you sense any hell-energy within the formation?” The Keeper asked.

“No,” The altar said annoyingly.

.....

“Then the request has been granted. Please fulfill your end of the bargain.” The Keeper insisted.

“We made a soul vow and hence will fulfill it. But we would like to check the boy’s body to make sure that the evil soul is completely eradicated.

“Are you trying to go back on your words?” The keeper spoke.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Both the artifacts felt that an invisible yet substantial force was weighing down on them. ” Did you think just because you are an artifact you could remain unaffected by the soul vow? Your artifact soul will be destroyed.”

“As I said, we will verify the boy’s body first and then decide whether or not the situation is completely over. ”

“There has to be a lot of remnant hell energy within the boy’s body which will take a lot of time to clear. What are you going to do about it” The Keeper asked

“He will remain sealed within the altar until he completely eradicates Hell’s energy.

“I guess you were planning on backstabbing us from the beginning.” The Keeper said.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” The extreme yin tree said in a serious tone. H wasn’t joking around. His orders were to destroy the evil soul completely. He couldn’t let Li meng out until he was sure that the evil soul had been eliminated.

“Step aside.” The keeper said.

I am afraid I will have to decline.” The Extrem Yin tree said. Invisible energy began to radiate from its body. Although it was at the end of its life span it was still a very powerful creature.

“I wanted to proceed civilly, but you need to understand that you backstabbed me first.” The keeper said in a mocking voice.

The formation around them began to rotate rapidly and the Extreme Yin tree, as well as the Altar, felt like they were bound by something.

“what did you do?”

“A pathetic formation like this is no big deal for me. Your so-called master is no greater than an ant in my face. I wanted Li Meng to experience the horror of the world and decided to let him take the risk. I thought at least one of you would die, but I underestimated his strength. He managed to obliterate the evil soul by himself.”

“Since he did that, you two will be sacrificed here to become his strength.” The formation started rotating and the energy from the two objects began to leak rapidly. The extreme Yin tree and the altar were surprised for a second, before coming to their senses.

“We admit our wrongs. Kindly let us n We want to hand our powers personally to the boy.” The Extreme Yin tree said. It was sincere in its words.

‘didn’t I say that you backstabbed me first? That chance is long gone. Your wish no longer matters.” The artifact began to shine brightly, as a beam of light penetrated the formation and shone upon the damaged altar Soon enough its began to vanish piece by piece devoured by the Crimson World artifact.

“How could this be? What are you doing? How can you absorb my energy in this way?” The altar had lost its composure, but he was unable to do anything. He was being devoured by the artifact. Without the vanishing of every single piece, the rate of devouring increased as the damage on the artifact was being rapidly healed.

This could be counted as Li Meng’s most successful venture so far.

“Either yous top yourself now, or I will blast myself up.” The altar warned the Keeper. To his surprise, a light laugh could be heard.

“You can try that if you want to, would change a thing though since I would be devouring every bit of you at the end.” The Keeper said.

“The altar spirit tried to calm down, but the situation prevented it from. Time passed by and the two figures looked helpless a quarter of the altar had already vanished.

“I am going to blow myself up.” The altar messaged the Yin tree and started to utilize its core. To its surprise, he couldn’t access its power anymore.

“Trying to reach the core of your power? You see, it would have been successful if you had tried it out when you first threatened me. Sadly, you have lost that chance now. Just resign yourself to fate and be consumed by me.”: The devouring force increases drastically. To the horror of the altar, almost half of it was gone in a quarter of the time it previously took.

“Please spar eme.” The altar said.

“You have fulfilled the mission your master gave you. There is no longer a need for you to be here.” The Keeper finally managed to completely devour the altar and nothing remained of it. Its soul was directly integrated and healed the soul of the Crimson Lord artifact.

“It’s power was far more than I had initially imagined. The power is enough for me to transform thrice and directly reach the peak of Monarch grade weapon, Maybe I even reach the Dominator level with the help of this energy. I couldn’t believe the artifact had this much power lying around.

The artifact then turned around the Extreme Yin tree.

“So what should we do about you.” He spoke in a sarcastic tone.
