Chapter 1283: Frayed Souls

After the Human Palace traveled through the Chaotic Mist Area for three years, it finally reached the destination mentioned by the Lord of the Demon Domain.

At this moment, the three people had concealed their forms, observing the massive Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein in the distance.

“I want 70% of this; Xu the Divine Master can have 10%,” the Yuan Lord stated boldly.

“I want 30%, and you can divide the rest as you wish.” The Lord of the Demon Domain’s eyes showed a glimmer of surprise.

He hadn’t seen the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein during his last visit.

Xu Fan stood nearby, drooling at the sight of the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein.

Suddenly, he felt a strong pat on his shoulder, and the Yuan Lord said, “Don’t worry, there’s at least 10% for you in there.”

“By the way, when will those elders arrive?” the Lord of the Demon Domain asked.

“They are expected to arrive in one year; they’re quite far away, and traveling will take some time,” the Yuan Lord replied.

A unique aura enveloped the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein, causing the chaotic giant beasts nearby to hesitate to approach.

“Let’s wait a bit; that giant beast probably went out hunting,” the Yuan Lord said.

“This chaotic giant beast should be a fusion of the Chaos Abyss and the Destruction Path.”

“When we start fighting, we might need Xu the Divine Master to set up a grand formation related to the chaotic holy light,” the Lord of the Demon Domain looked at Xu Fan.

“That’s no problem; leave this to me.”

“When the fight starts, I’ll use the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein as the core and illuminate the surrounding area spanning millions of light armors,” Xu Fan waved his hand.

Just then, a cry echoed from the distance, shaking the chaos across tens of thousands of light armors.

“They’re probably back; let’s hide,” the Lord of the Demon Domain advised.

Not long after, a spatial rift tore open.

A chaotic giant beast, covered with faces from various alien races, appeared.

Its body was densely packed with the faces of gods, demons, and aliens.

Xu Fan even spotted a face that looked quite similar to that of the human race.

Every face was filled with expressions of pain, and now and then, they emitted agonizing cries.

This sight left the three with frayed souls.

“If I had known it looked like this, you should have warned me to prepare mentally,” the Yuan Lord said, showing signs of spiritual pollution.

This chaotic giant beast was about the size of a typical entity in the Immortal Realm, but its body was covered with faces, making the three feel extremely uncomfortable.

“I remember it looked quite smooth when it advanced, perfectly round and a bit cute; how did it end up like this?” the Lord of the Demon Domain also felt uneasy.

“Before we even start fighting, just the sight of these faces will reduce our fighting strength by at least 10%,” the Yuan Lord glanced again at the chaotic giant beast, and his soul felt frayed once more.

“I’ll send a message to those old guys to prepare them mentally in advance,” the Yuan Lord said, closing his eyes.

“Lord of the Demon Domain, do you think that when we fight, the original owners of these faces will be summoned?” Xu Fan asked curiously.

“I’m not sure; I haven’t seen it fight, but I think it’s possible, so we need to be cautious,” the Yuan Lord pondered and replied.

Just then, the round chaotic giant beast trembled violently.

In the end, all the faces of gods, demons, and other beings retracted into the body, forming the smooth, large sphere that the Lord of the Demon Domain had mentioned.

“Look, this is how I saw him last time,” the Lord of the Demon Domain said, gazing at the black sphere.

“I think those faces will appear during battle. There’s not much point in retracting them now.”

At that moment, the black chaotic giant beast, now a sphere, found a spot within the Primordial Purple Qi crystal vein that fit it perfectly and fell into a deep sleep.

The Yuan Lord opened his eyes and looked at the now smooth, black sphere of the chaotic giant beast.

He nodded and said, “It’s kind of cute, actually.”

“I’ve already informed the old ones,”

For the next year, the three of them quietly watched the black sphere.

When they sensed that the elders of the human race were approaching, the three began discussing their battle plan.

“Xu the Divine Master, how long will it take you to set up the chaotic grand formation?” the Yuan Lord asked.

“Three days will be enough. As soon as the elders of the human race arrive, I’ll start setting it up.”

“I can make sure we don’t disturb the chaotic giant beast while setting up the formation.”

“Once it’s activated, it’s bound to catch the beast’s attention,” Xu Fan said, as a light sphere appeared in his hand, masking the formation’s effects.

Just then, six unfamiliar presences suddenly broke through space.

The sleeping chaotic giant beast abruptly opened its eyes.

Countless faces appeared all over its body, all glaring angrily in the direction of those presences.

“You didn’t tell the elders to hide when entering!” the Lord of the Demon Domain exclaimed in shock.

“That’s not the main issue right now; the main issue is this thing,” the Yuan Lord said, watching the now roused chaotic giant beast, especially the sight of it covered in faces, which sent a shiver through his soul.

“You all start fighting; I’ll set up the chaotic grand formation,” Xu Fan said before disappearing.

The Yuan Lord and the Lord of the Demon Domain had already joined the six elders of the human race.

“A chaotic saint-level giant beast that’s just advanced—what’s there to fear? We’ll take it head-on,” a tall man said.

He then transformed into a being of the same size as the giant beast.

Clad in deep black heavy armor, he held a giant shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, charging straight at the chaotic giant beast.

“Come on, since we’ve already woken it up, we might as well fight.”

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a black robe, transformed into countless chaotic stars, which then shifted into various Spiritual Treasures, all attacking the chaotic giant beast.

At that moment, a rather elegant-looking man sensed the situation and asked, “Is that Xu the Divine Master you often mention here to set up the formation?”

“Yes, he needs three days,” the Yuan Lord replied.

“Three days is manageable.”

The elegant-looking man vanished, and a massive chaotic law form appeared, sealing off the surrounding space.

Meanwhile, the other three powerful beings of the human race also joined the fight.

“Is this going to be alright?” the Lord of the Demon Domain asked, sounding concerned.

“From what I know, they’ve killed six chaotic saint-level giant beasts; they’ve just had bad luck and couldn’t gather what they wanted,” the Yuan Lord said with a smile, charging toward the chaotic giant beast.

Seeing how fiercely they were fighting, the Yuan Lord began to worry about another issue.

What if one of them got greedy after the battle? He realized he couldn’t handle any of these elders of the human race on his own.

“What are you waiting for, junior? Get in there now!” the body-refinement Great Saint, wielding the giant shield and spear, shouted at the Lord of the Demon Domain.

Only then did the Lord of the Demon Domain snap out of it and join the battle.

Even though it was just a newly advanced chaotic saint-level giant beast, fighting it was no easy task.
