Chapter 246: Chapter 243: The Chaotic Hive (Please Follow)_2

This dark green long sword is not a "sword," but a key.

The Key of Chaotic Nest.

An Evil God Relic.

By inserting six Deceiving Eyes filled with the Power of Lie Law into it, and letting the original cat’s eye gem also be infused with the Power of Lie Law, it could unlock the Divine Country of the God of Lies — the Chaotic Nest.

The purpose of the Four Gods Sect’s descent ritual was not to summon the projection of the God of Lies, but to "charge" the Deceiving Eyes by deceiving the Evil God.

Luo Kun’s deception of Crab Valley was not a true "change of heart," but an attempt to seize a massive amount of Power of Lie Law by altering the outcome of a large-scale war, to charge the "Key of Chaotic Nest"!

Their ultimate goal was to tear a rift between the real world and the Chaotic Nest!

For this, they deceived not only Crab Valley and Initial City but even the Evil God they worshipped!

Their purpose was to connect the Chaotic Nest with the real world, and then make the entire planet become a part of the Chaotic Nest, utterly sinking into a realm of lies!

Master Huang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief as the light columns dissipated and the giant snake receded,

then saw the man in the mask beside him pull out a strange long sword, muttering something to himself.

"What are you talking about?"

Master Huang asked.

"I said I haven’t lied to you! I am the embodiment of justice and honesty!"

Luo Kun’s mask shifted into Master Huang’s face, grinning.

"Don’t turn into my face!"

Master Huang shouted somewhat disgustedly.

Just then, from the direction of the six light columns that had pierced the sky, six cat-eye-like emerald "gems" were rapidly flying towards Luo Kun.

Seeing this, the quick-reacting Master Huang immediately issued an attack command to his Dark Disciplinary Knight.

Whoosh!

The Discipline Knight’s Shadow Sword swung, a deep purple Sword Qi tearing through the night sky, spanning across it, and simultaneously pierced through the six gems.

But bizarrely —

Just like the giant snake phantom that had suddenly appeared in the night sky, the Shadow Sword passed through the center of these gems, which were completely unaffected.

They came from the Spirit Realm! They didn’t have a concrete physical form!

The Discipline Knight, telepathically in sync with Master Huang, realizing that they couldn’t damage the gems, instantly redirected the Shadow Sword, slashing towards the shadow beneath Luo Kun...

If they couldn’t deal with the gems, then they would deal with the one controlling them!

As a top Master Level Spirit Master, Master Huang had rich combat experience; he knew that Luo Kun had contracted a Monarch Level Shadow Demon, and attacking his body would likely result in him using shadow substitution or shadow hiding techniques to evade harm.

"Shadow Shatter!"

Master Huang thought silently; this was a high-level technique of the shadow type, capable of attacking the creature’s shadow.

Damage inflicted on the shadow would be simultaneously reflected onto the shadow’s master.

Whoosh!

A deep purple sword-glow flashed by, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom.

The next second, Luo Kun’s shadow was severed at the waist, the same injury immediately reflected on Luo Kun’s body, splitting the cloaked figure in half.

The Shadow Demon lurking within Luo Kun’s shadow had not even had a chance to resist before being torn into pieces by Shadow Shatter.

The gap between a top Monarch and an ordinary Monarch was still too great.

Then bizarrely—there was no blood seeping from the wound on Luo Kun’s waist, and the face on the Deception Mask, identical to Master Huang’s, maintained a sinister smile.

Immediately after, the shadow under his feet grew denser and seemingly tangible; accompanied by plumes of white smoke, a formless, ferocious shadow surged out from the shadow, instantly transforming into a fierce shadow wolf lunging at Master Huang.

Seeing this, the Discipline Knight quickly reacted defensively, igniting deep purple Shadow Origin Power at the tip of the Shadow Sword, attempting to block the Shadow Demon’s bite, but was pushed back several steps by the incredible power unleashed by the Shadow Demon.

Master Huang’s expression became grave. He couldn’t understand why the Shadow Demon, which should have died, not only survived but even inexplicably escalated its combat capabilities to the peak of a Monarch level!

At the scene, Chen Mo, who had the deepest research on the Evil God, instantly thought of a technique he had seen mentioned in "Four Gods Sect Overview."

It would be more apt to describe it as a ritual rather than a technique.

Exclusive Monarch Level technique of the Evil Spirit lineage — Self-deception.

It requires setting up an array and rituals on the Evil Spirit Type Spiritual Beast beforehand. Once successful, over the next period, this evil beast can deceive itself by consuming the Power of Lie Law.

As long as I believe that I am not injured, then I truly will not be injured!

Mainly, if I believe my Spiritual Beast’s strength can reach the Monarch Peak, then my Spiritual Beast’s strength can reach the Monarch Peak.

Of course, if the lie is too outrageous, it still won’t come true.

This is somewhat similar to the Wish-making White Fox’s Wish Technique, but it is time-limited and has a much higher limit.

"Darn it!"

Chen Mo felt a sudden dread, using telepathy to make Xinghai ascend and prepare the space-based weapon.

Master Huang summoned two other Monarch Level Spiritual Beasts in front of him.

Chen Meng and Chen Mo’s Spiritual Beasts also took action together; the forehead horn of the Bright Unicorn erupted in a dazzling and brilliant light, sending a beam filled with pure power at Luo Kun.

Xiao Jiu’s three tails simultaneously shot out red and blue interwoven flames, forming three fiery tail phantasms that slashed towards Luo Kun.

In real battles, the first target of a Spirit Master is never the Spiritual Beast, but the opposing Spirit Master!

However, the Shadow Demon transformed into a deep black curtain in an instant - under the augmentation of [Self-deception], it actually blocked all attacks.

"Sorry, it’s too late to stop it now."

Luo Kun’s mouth curled slightly in a taunting smile.

Meanwhile, six cat’s eye gems flew from different ritual nodes and perfectly embedded into the dark green key that resembled a sword.

"The show officially starts now!"

Saying that, Luo Kun flicked the key upwards into the sky.

The next second, the sky cracked open like a shattered mirror, with dark green light peeking through the fissures.

Roar!

At the same time, there were also screams of agony from the abyss...

"Requesting support!"

Huang Ping tried to send a signal to Initial City and other regions of Blue Star via the Spirit Control Bracelet.

The current situation was beyond his control!

However, the voice message did not send; the bracelet first showed no signal, then quickly turned black and powered off.

The moment a connection was made between the real world and the Key of Chaotic Nest, the nearby space distorted, and signals were massively interfered with.

Subsequently, the entire power system of Shenghai City and surrounding cities instantly collapsed, plunging the once brightly-lit cities into darkness!

Seeing the crack in the sky, people felt immense fear and unease; it seemed that something even more terrifying than the previous giant serpent lay behind this dark green fissure!

A few breaths later, in the sky rift, several rabbit-shaped beasts with attractive yet translucent faces peeked their heads out first.

Misleading beasts.

The name popped into Chen Mo’s mind.

Not from reading about them in a book about Spiritual Beasts in this world, but because they were strikingly similar to a creature recorded in the ancient text "Classic of Mountains and Seas."

Having the face of a human and the body of a rabbit, excelling in deception; their meat is delicious, but once consumed, one can never speak the truth again.

The Misleading Beasts in front of him bore a great resemblance to those described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas," in fact, they likely didn’t need to be eaten to forever prevent people from telling the truth!

This was probably just the tip of the iceberg for the disasters unleashed by the descent of the Key of Chaotic Nest!

And what was worse—

A spacial tide appeared in the base center, connecting Blue Star with the Spirit Realm, meaning this spatial passage would not be usable for some time!

Even if the Spirit Masters from Initial City resolved the crisis triggered by Cancer Island, including top-tier Spirit Masters like Chen Meng’s parents, they couldn’t arrive in time!
