One day later.
Primordial Ruins, Secret Realm No. 5, Demon Sacrificial Altar.
Twelve black stone pillars engraved with twisted human faces supported the altar's dome, each face had its mouth agape, bleeding and giving off faint, ghostly wails.
In the center of the altar on the basalt sacrificial platform, dark golden runes writhed like living creatures, with viscous black blood flowing between them, forming an ancient demon formation on the ground. The air filled with a putrid wind surging forth. At the four corners of the altar stood four bone statues, their hollow eye sockets flickering with ghostly blue flames, seemingly watching what was about to unfold.
Dozens of Demon Cultivators from the Primordial Demon Sect wore black robes and bronze masks, the beast eyes on the masks inlaid with blood-red jewels, emitting an eerie glow.
