Chapter 852 - 846: A World of Infinite Possibilities

Among the Three Thousand Demon Gods of Returning Ruins, there are still many demon gods who adhere to principles of benevolence and righteousness, such as the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God and the chubby one.

After the chubby among the remaining strongest demon gods expressed his stance, gradually, nearly half of the powerful demon gods came forward and stood behind the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God.

In this way, the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God not only held the moral high ground, but their camp also gained the upper hand in overall strength.

Half of the powerful demon gods stood on their side.

All the moderately strong and weak demon gods also stood on their side.

At this point, the situation became awkward for the remaining half of the powerful demon gods.

They wanted to support Luo Hou and continue the Path of Transcendence, yet they were not in the superior position in terms of strength.

They wanted to sacrifice the weaker and moderately strong demon gods, but now these demon gods were banding together for warmth.

If they still wished to continue the Path of Transcendence now, the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God would certainly obstruct them.

When it comes to a real fight, they wouldn’t have the upper hand either.

At this moment, the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God stepped forward, addressing the half of the powerful demon gods who were still stunned: "You may wish to continue the Path of Transcendence, but sacrificing others for your own benefit is absolutely impossible."

"If you dare swear an oath that when the Returning Ruins Energy is depleted, you will first sacrifice yourselves to become energy to replenish Returning Ruins, then I will allow you to continue the Path of Transcendence."

"Otherwise, absolutely impossible."

The Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God was essentially cornering them; they wished to sacrifice others, but she demanded they first sacrifice themselves.

In truth, the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God was certain that these demon gods would never make such an oath.

They would rather abandon the Path of Transcendence than sacrifice themselves.

Sacrificing others for self-interest is possible, but sacrificing oneself for others, who could do that?

This strategic move from the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God was indeed very clever.

When this move was made, it was akin to a decisive kill.

Finally, the demon gods who hadn’t expressed their stance yet couldn’t hold back any longer.

A demon god with a dragon’s head and a single horn stepped forward, smiling apologetically as he spoke to the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God: "Everyone, don’t misunderstand, we certainly do not support Luo Hou."

"We were merely pondering a bit more, thinking a bit longer."

"The Three Thousand Demon Gods of Returning Ruins are of the same origin, sacrificing our kin for self-interest is disgraceful; we shall never collude with Luo Hou."

Following this demon god’s stance, the other demon gods also found a way out and began to express their positions, denouncing Luo Hou.

Above Returning Ruins, the face Luo Hou conjured up could not suppress his fury upon seeing this scene.

His strategy was once again thwarted by the Human-headed Serpent-bodied Female Demon God.

"Whore!"

"Whore, whore!"

"One day, I will kill you, kill you!" On the Path of Transcendence, Luo Hou was furious, clenching his fists and yelling.

Yet the yelling solved not a single problem.

At this moment, the Path of Transcendence was severed.

The Path of Transcendence lost its source of energy and could no longer extend upwards, preventing Luo Hou from reaching the world Above Chaos.

The most critical issue was that the Path of Transcendence was broken, and Luo Hou could not even return to Returning Ruins.

Currently, he was trapped in the Chaos Space filled with dark liquid, like a womb.

Luo Hou seemed to have seen through his future; he would be eternally trapped here until his nearly endless lifespan was exhausted.

Luo Hou, who yearned for transcendence, had grand ambitions and could not resign to being trapped here.

After being stuck on the Path of Transcendence for countless years, Luo Hou conceived of a risky plan.

That was to utilize the Path of Transcendence to absorb the Chaotic Energy from the Chaos Space.

Using the Chaotic Energy to extend the Path of Transcendence, allowing him to enter the world Above Chaos.

Chaotic Energy, compared to Returning Ruins Energy, is more primitive and more violent.

If he attempted to absorb Chaotic Energy through the Path of Transcendence, it might directly cause it to collapse.

Unfortunately, Luo Hou had been stuck on the Path of Transcendence for countless years, like being imprisoned.

If this continued, Luo Hou might go completely mad.

Unable to bear it any longer, Luo Hou decided to risk it all.

Luo Hou understood that the likelihood of failure in this attempt far exceeded the chances of success, but he had no alternative; he had to try.

Luo Hou went all in, using his own body as a medium.

First, let the violent Chaotic Energy circulate within his body, and once it became relatively gentle, then transmit it to the Path of Transcendence.

Although Luo Hou’s character was lacking, it must be said, he was a genius.

His plan worked.

The Path of Transcendence began to extend, continuing to extend without stop.

However, as Luo Hou’s body filtered too much Chaotic Energy, his appearance started to change bizarrely.

Luo Hou’s body became increasingly grotesque, vaguely resembling those octopus-like creatures in Chaos.

However, Luo Hou couldn’t care less about this.

Right now, he just wanted the Path of Transcendence to pierce through Chaos and reach the next world.

The Path of Transcendence was right in front of him.

Thus, Luo Hou used himself as a medium to filter energy for the Path of Transcendence, which continued to extend.

No one knows how many years passed, perhaps it was ten years, perhaps a hundred, a thousand.

By now, Luo Hou, who filtered energy with his body, had completely transformed into an ink-black octopus monster.

Even Luo Hou’s consciousness was nearly assimilated; he alternated between confusion and clarity.

Despite having changed into such a form, Luo Hou’s obsession remained.

That was to let the Path of Transcendence pierce through Chaos and enter the world Above Chaos.

It was precisely this obsession that kept Luo Hou, despite his ghastly appearance, from relaxing one bit.

"Boom!"

A loud noise instantly woke the groggy Luo Hou.

"Haha!"

"Hahaha!"

"It worked, I succeeded!"

"I succeeded, I really did!"

Luo Hou felt the Path of Transcendence had pierced through Chaos and extended into the world above.

Indeed, there was a world above there, and through the Path of Transcendence, Luo Hou faintly sensed it.

The world above Chaos is a world belonging to the strongest.

In that world, cultivation has no limit; the stronger your talent, the more powerful you become.

It’s a world teeming with infinite possibilities.

"Idiots!"

"Complete fools!"

"You Three Thousand Demon Gods of Returning Ruins are all fools, you didn’t trust my judgement, but now the facts prove my judgement was correct."

"Transcendence, now, only I can transcend, none of you can, none of you can."

"You can only stay in the declining Returning Ruins, slowly awaiting death." Luo Hou laughed arrogantly.
