Chapter 573: Chapter 568 Evil God Descends, Possessed by the Spider Queen

Facing the threat of the Holy Daughter of the Dark Elves, the Evil Eye Lord was vexed in his heart, not knowing what Luo Zhancheng had planned. If judged by the strength they had currently displayed, they indeed weren’t sufficient to challenge the Spider Evil God.

When power reached a certain level, the notion of “ants overwhelming an elephant” was a joke!

Even talking of a mere million Puppet Army, even if multiplied tenfold, it was not enough to cross such a vast realm and threaten the Divine.

However, although the Evil Eye Lord was nervously anxious, due to previous lessons, it dared not ask more; otherwise, Luo Zhancheng might cast the Binding Spell again, subjecting it to further suffering.

So, it merely glanced at Luo Zhancheng, seeing this new master still standing calmly there. Though it didn’t know what he relied on, it felt somewhat more at peace.

With no way out, the Evil Eye Lord hardened its heart, transmitting its spiritual power, “Why waste so many words? You’re not qualified to annihilate the Evil Eye Clan. Even if you could defeat me, have you considered how much the Dark Elves will lose?

Hmph, if the Dark Elves suffer too much loss, do you think other territories will just watch you recover slowly, becoming the minions of the Evil God again?”

The words of the Evil Eye Lord clearly struck a chord in the heart of the Holy Daughter of the Dark Elves.

She knew how troublesome the Evil Eye Clan was; merely the millions of fearless Puppet Army would bring huge casualties to her people. Adding on the Evil Eye’s use of Spiritual Shocks during battles, and controlling the battling Dark Elves to turn against their comrades, would lead to even greater damage.

Even if they won this war, the Elf Clan would be greatly weakened, reducing their strength to less than a third of their original, which would easily attract the covetous eyes of other powers in the Underground World.

Though the Great Lords might not dare to boldly attack all the way to the gates of the Dark Castle like the Evil Eye Lord had, their fear of the Evil God would lead them to try to prevent the possibility of the Evil God breaking his seal upon finding an opportunity.

Otherwise, once the Evil God broke free, he would surely unify the Underground World, no longer allowing them to wield power externally.

If all outside territories and cities of the Dark Elf Clan were taken, leaving only the Dark Castle, without lands and resources, it would be difficult for the Dark Elves to recover completely.

With just a few Dark Elves, how could they help the Evil God slowly erode the seal?

As the Holy Daughter was still thinking about how to handle this crisis, the Evil Eye Lord had already issued a command, all Evil Eyes directly manipulated their puppets and charged towards the Dark Castle.

Seeing this scene, the Holy Daughter of the Dark Elves instantly turned pale, “Have you no desire to live, actually trying to awaken the Evil God?”

Seeing that the Evil Eye Lord did not answer, the Holy Daughter revealed a mix of helplessness and fear.

If the Evil God truly awakened, if it was only to impart ordinary divine punishment, that would be one thing. But if it chose to possess a body to act personally, she was doomed!

The brutal Spider Evil God would not care about the life and death of a mere Holy Daughter. Historically, any Holy Daughter possessed by the Evil God never met a good end; they either died tragically or turned into monstrous beings.

Her only chance to survive was to quietly serve out her term as Holy Daughter, ensuring no major upheavals occurred that would provoke the Spider Evil God to possess her.

So she quickly shouted fiercely, “Quickly stop them, don’t let them alarm the Evil God, otherwise you all know the consequences!”

With these words, the faces of the City Lords commanding the Dark Elf Army instantly changed, followed by a furious roar, “Attack, kill all the Evil Eyes, kill everything that dares to disturb the Evil God, do not let them approach the Dark Castle, do not let the war reach the castle, otherwise, we might all face the punishment of the Evil God.”

“Kill…”

Millions of Dark Elves from all around surrounded them, especially in front of the Dark Castle, where armies from several cities came to intercept, attempting to trap the Puppet Army right there.

Whiz whiz whiz…

Countless Dark Arrows shot out from the Dark Elves’ ranks. Even though their fighting style had evolved after their fall, the Elf Clan’s innate talent for archery hadn’t completely disappeared, remaining incredibly powerful, albeit now manifesting as the stealthy Dark Arrows unique to the Underground World. Although unforeseeable, they were somewhat lacking in range and strength.

However, they had coated their arrows with various toxins, ensuring that a hit was still devastating!

At that moment, a barrage of countless arrows blanketed the sky, shooting volleys of arrows that felled batches of the Puppet Army!

But these puppets, unafraid of death and unable to feel pain, simply marched forward instinctively under the manipulation of the Evil Eyes, continuing to push forward courageously even if some were pierced by scores or hundreds of arrows.

Particularly numerous large, tough, Scale-armored Demon Beasts, despite being shot like hedgehogs, were in fact not fundamentally harmed, their thick skins not entirely penetrated, so these creatures charged and crashed into the ranks of the Dark Elves.

This was a rather unusual war.

On one side, the Puppet Army, except for a few Demon Beasts that roared during combat, the other puppets were utterly silent, merely fighting doggedly under the control of the Evil Eyes.

On the other side, the Dark Elves, as experts in assassination, also disliked shouting in combat and silently performed stealthy assassinations. Consequently, though the fight was intense, aside from the sounds of weapons clashing, chopping into bodies, and the booming of fire magic, there were hardly any other noises, making it eerily quiet.

If one weren’t sure these were living beings, it could easily be mistaken for a war of the Undead from the Netherworld.

But in reality, the roar emitted by the Undead would be deafening!

Qin Feng looked around this eerie battlefield, gauging the situation of the battle.

Not just him, other Cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect and Beastman Experts also did not engage.

At this moment, as the two sides had just clashed, it was fine to let the Puppet Army attack.

They were now wary of the Dark Elf Clan’s top-level experts, those proficient in concealment and assassination; assassins and rangers could kill in one strike. At this stage, the Evil Eyes were still useful, needed to control the Puppet Army. They couldn’t afford to lose too many, for if the puppets awakened and launched a counterattack, it would actually empower the Dark Elves.

As the Puppet Army intermingled with the Dark Elf Army and the battle escalated, casualties among the Evil Eyes were inevitable.

Among the Dark Elf Army, the powerful ones concealed themselves as controlled puppets, boldly walking in slightly stiff strides past the Evil Eye, then plunging their poisoned short swords into the supple bodies of the Evil Eyes, making a swift cut that could open up a large gash.

Ordinary Evil Eyes couldn’t withstand such injuries and were basically destined to die upon contact.

However, once these individuals revealed themselves, they were quickly met with a barrage of attacks. Unless they were genuinely powerful, few could escape the encirclement of the puppet army and Beastman experts, not to mention the cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect mingling among them.

High above the castle, the Holy Daughter of the Dark Elves watched the battlefield and gradually noticed something amiss.

There seemed to be too many powerful figures among the Puppet Army, and some, with considerable abilities, didn’t seem like puppets at all due to their high agility darting all over the place, hunting down the exposed Dark Elf masters.

Could it be that other forces had allied with the Evil Eye Lord?

If that were the case, the situation might be spiraling out of control. She might need to make a different decision.

While the Holy Daughter hesitated about what to do, she did not notice that the blood flowing from the bodies of the dead creatures on the battlefield was slowly seeping into the ground.

Normally, this would be natural, but if not even the soil was mixed with blood and all blood disappeared completely, even the blood around the wounds of the deceased beginning to flow again, it presented an eerie occurrence.

It didn’t take long for an Elder of the Beast Taming Sect to notice this.

After all, these Elders had seen a wide array of oddities in their dealings with cultivators from various Demon Sects over the years. They would not have deserved their titles if they hadn’t noticed such glaring issues.

After receiving the report, Luo Zhancheng waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for panic; he had already noticed this issue.

If he wasn’t mistaken, it was probably the doing of the Spider Evil God suppressed in this area. It was uncertain whether that creature had woken up to cast some spell or had set up some Prohibition Array.

He wasn’t worried about the Spider Evil God breaking free, for if it were that simple, that malevolent spider would have long since ordered the Dark Elves to bring other creatures to fight countless battles before the Dark Castle.

He estimated that the blood might at most erode the seal.

However, since there was a possibility that the Spider Evil God had awakened, they needed to speed up the progress of the war. Otherwise, if they continued to delay, the Puppet Army might suffer too many losses. Later, when they attacked the Dark Castle, they might find their forces insufficient, requiring them to expend even more energy.

Thus, Luo Zhancheng soon issued a command. Aside from a small portion of the Puppet Army that turned to face the Dark Elf Army, all other puppets charged forward, no longer entangled with the Dark Elf Army. He also instructed the Beastman experts to exert their strength together, rapidly advancing to the front of the Dark Castle.

Already, powerfully built Demon Beast Puppets, relying on their huge size, had climbed the city walls and roared as they went back and forth killing, attempting to clear a space for more puppets to continue to ascend.

With Fire-Scaled Beasts breathing scorching flames, Horror Claw Monsters swinging their thick arms sweeping everything in their path, Ghost Bats emitting silent sonar waves shattering the skulls of the Dark Elves defending the castle.

The sight of ferocious Demon Beasts and brave puppets densely crowding the city walls climbing upwards momentarily plunged the Dark Castle into a perilous situation.

The Holy Daughter couldn’t bear it any longer, she continuously summoned her skilled subordinates to support the city walls while waving her scepter and scattering incredibly strong attacks. Ordinary demon beasts and puppet experts simply couldn’t withstand her spells, often dying from a single hit.

Even the powerfully fierce Fire-Scaled Beasts, the brutally courageous Horror Claw Monsters, or the Ghost Bats that flew across the sky like devils–even though these creatures were ninth-level demon beasts–they couldn’t withstand the Dark Elf Holy Daughter’s spells and were slain by her in just a few strikes.

If other creatures witnessed this, they would surely feel terrified and think that this woman’s strength was so formidable that they might not dare to continue the attack. However, this Puppet Army was fearless and relentless, completely indifferent to their life and death, pressing forward with extraordinary bravery.

The Dark Elves on the city walls, being elites from different cities, also utilized their unique abilities. They fired Dark Arrows that killed in one shot or used various forms of Dark Magic to kill puppets, or they directly engaged in combat with their opponents. Their archery was bizarre, their spells sinister, and their assassination techniques left one unable to guard against them, especially against the puppets who had no intentions of defending themselves.

However, these Dark Elves could also easily fall into dangerous situations. Puppets that they had clearly slashed at the neck or stabbed in the heart, which would have typically been fatal, paid no mind to their wounds due to being controlled. As long as they had the strength, they would attack them or desperately try to protect their forms, making it difficult for the Dark Elves to escape.

The battle was intensely underway. The Dark Elf Holy Daughter grew increasingly desperate as she felt the consciousness of the Spider Evil God beginning to awaken, and an eerie presence emanated from the depths of the Dark Castle.

She prayed inwardly, hoping the Spider Evil God would grant her some time, and she would definitely drive these foreign invaders out.

Unfortunately, the Evil God didn’t seem to care about her prayers and directly imposed a massive will upon her.

The Holy Daughter’s body suddenly stiffened, then her body shook and twisted violently, and with a swooshing sound from her back, eight slender spider legs extended out and landed on the ground, lifting her form high.

When she opened her eyes again, the Holy Daughter had transformed, her face covered with mysterious patterns, no longer beautiful but rather exuding a chilling, eerie change.

“Giggle, giggle, giggle…”

With the consciousness of the Evil God inhabiting her, she looked around and couldn’t help but reveal a mocking yet satisfied laugh upon seeing the great battle. “Interesting, the Evil Eye Clan dares defy me?

Ah, and there are Beastmen too?

Is this the confidence you have to oppose me? Heh, even if you have a few more demigods, what can you do? Do you really dare to come and kill me?

Or are you trying to submit to me, volunteering to help me escape my confinement by starting this war?”

The Spider Evil God appeared relaxed as she looked down at the scene below, watching countless lives being slaughtered, their blood absorbed by the prohibitions she had set up as power to erode the seals.

“However, I can’t let you kill all the Dark Elves. Although these guys are useless, they are still my subordinates. If they all die, I’ll have to find another way to gather and deploy others, so you all might as well just die!”

Having said that, the Spider Evil God moved her eight long legs on her back and stepped out of the castle, heading toward the direction of the Evil Eye Lord.

With each step, her slim and long spider legs pierced through the bodies of fierce demon beasts or broke through some powerful puppets, showcasing her formidable strength that was truly alarming.
