Chapter 216: The God Who Controls Desire
As the strange phenomenon appeared in the Palace of Desire, the three gods of the Sun, Moon, and Stars also appeared one after another. Furthermore, the reach of this phenomenon was so vast that even humans far away in the Holy City could see it.
A seven-colored pillar of light, like a coordinate of the Holy Demon Continent, shot straight into the sky. At this moment, the powerful figures of the Holy City were all suspended in mid-air, watching this strange phenomenon thousands of miles away.
"What exactly is this?"
Even Yang Haohan, the leader of the Holy Alliance, couldn't understand how this phenomenon had occurred.
Just then, a handsome man appeared beside him; this man was none other than Xiao Huo, the first Temple Master of the Knights' Temple.
As the most powerful among the Eternal Heroes, Xiao Huo served as the Holy Alliance's last trump card in this year's Holy War. He rarely acted unless it was a matter of life and death for humanity.
This resulted in very few of the more than sixty Eternal Heroes remaining alive.
The instant Yang Haohan finished speaking, Xiao Huo, looking at the distant seven-colored pillar of light, said with a grim expression, "Someone is undergoing a divine tribulation!"
Upon hearing this, everyone around him showed expressions of horror.
If this phenomenon had occurred in human territory, everyone present would likely have been overjoyed.
But judging by the distance, the pillar of light was clearly located in the Demon Realm!
"This is impossible!" At this moment, Li Zhengzhi, the Temple Master of the Magic Temple, said in horror, "The Demon Realm is a species not recognized by the Holy Demon Continent; they cannot achieve godhood!"
Just as Li Zhengzhi finished speaking, the seven-colored pillar of light suddenly erupted with a terrifying power, spreading throughout the heavens and earth.
Anyone affected by this seven-colored power experienced amplified desires.
Fear, joy, sorrow, hatred, greed, anger, and liking…
Under the influence of these seven desires, the entire Holy Demon Continent was thrown into chaos.
For creatures of lower strength, without exception, all were affected by these seven desires.
They no longer suppressed their desires.
Even ninth-tier powerhouses, those with weak hearts, found it difficult to stabilize their minds.
Seeing those around him affected by desire, Li Zhengzhi instinctively tried to erect a barrier.
However, this seven-colored power was clearly superior to ordinary elements, and his wind element shield was utterly ineffective.
"How is this possible..."
Hearing Li Zhengzhi's murmur, Xiao Huo slowly spoke up, "The demon race indeed cannot break through a million spiritual power to gain the recognition of the Holy Demon Continent's laws and thus obtain a godhood. But judging from this aura, this person has clearly comprehended the power of the laws and cultivated the Law of Desire to its extreme!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the final step in her condensation of a godhood."
"Once the godhood is condensed, a true god will be born on the Holy Demon Continent!"
"A living god!"
Xiao Huo's words undoubtedly filled the group of powerful figures around him with fear, and even a hint of despair.
If the demon race truly gains another deity, will humanity still have a chance to survive?
Meanwhile, above the Demon City's Heart, Ye Xiaolei also flew out of Lin Ze's body.
Looking at the aura that was infinitely close to divine power before her, she was filled with astonishment and exclaimed, "Xidi actually succeeded! She actually touched the threshold of godhood with her own strength!"
"Now Xidi is only one step away from becoming a god. As long as she condenses her divine spark, she will be a true god!"
Ye Xiaolei hovered on Lin Ze's shoulder, her eyes fixed on the seven-colored pillar of light before her, her hands clenching involuntarily, her gaze fixed on everything before her.
As a god herself, no one understood the power emanating from this seven-colored pillar of light better than her.
This was power that surpassed ordinary elements and was below divine power.
Hearing Ye Xiaolei's words, all the demon gods were stunned.
No one had expected that the first person of the demon race to touch the threshold of godhood would be the Love Demon God Xidi.
Even the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu, standing to the side, couldn't help but be surprised.
He hadn't expected Xidi to actually do it.
Xidi had reached a height that he could not reach in less than twenty years.
"Interesting, a godhood of desire?" The Demon Emperor murmured unconsciously, sensing the radiant light emanating from the sky.
Meanwhile, demons, humans, and even some unintelligent creatures on the Holy Demon Continent all looked up at the pillar of light.
Under the watchful eyes of all beings, inside the Palace of Desire, Xidi, clad in a long dress, underwent a transformation.
The originally blood-red aura around her gradually faded, transforming into seven colors, condensing into a seven-colored radiance.
Her originally sinister aura gradually gained a touch of divinity!
The instant divinity appeared, terrifying power of law poured down from above the Palace of Desire, attempting to stop Xidi's elemental transformation!
In an instant, the entire world was engulfed in turmoil, dark clouds looming overhead, and countless bolts of lightning danced within the clouds, seemingly a threat warning Xidi that if she attempted to become a god, divine punishment would descend!
Xidi glanced up at the thunderclouds forming overhead, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
The clouds seemed to sense Xidi's resolve; water elements rapidly gathered within, condensing into countless ice crystals that rained down upon her!
Facing this first divine punishment, a flicker of contempt crossed Xidi's eyes.
As her spiritual power surged, the "desire" of all living beings on the Holy Demon Continent was instantly under Xidi's control, surging towards her like a tidal wave, coalescing into a celestial avatar. She unleashed a palm strike, forcefully withstanding the divine punishment descended by the elemental laws!
After Xidi blocked the first divine punishment, the previously dark sky instantly transformed into ablaze with fiery clouds.
The next moment, a massive fireball, the size of a meteorite, pierced through the clouds and hurtled towards Xidi.
Facing this attack, Xidi remained fearless. As the controller of desire, under the manipulation of the laws of desire, she also controlled the "fear" of all living beings in this world.
Instantly, it condensed into a spear, meeting the fireball formed from the laws of fire element.
The spear ripped through the sky, instantly splitting the fireball in two.
Boom!
The terrifying explosion was like an atomic bomb, the aftershocks instantly destroying most of the demon's buildings.
To avoid being affected by divine punishment, the surrounding demons retreated at an extremely fast speed.
As the laws of fire element dissipated, the clouds in the sky surged once more.
The power of the laws of wood appeared like withered wood sprouting anew, condensing into a terrifying spear, piercing towards Xidi.
