Chapter 834 - The Root of Corruption
Chapter 834 The Root of Corruption
The year 1775, Month 11, Day 18 of the Beast God Calendar.
It was the fifteenth day of the otherworldly witches’ invasion into Strongwoods Plane, and the planned blood ritual ceremony had finally begun!
A dense bloody aura had already engulfed Witherwater City before the sun had risen. The two hundred thousand orcs that the witches had captured and brought into the city instantly became victims under the blades of the witches, dying in the various hidden ritual spots.
Naturally, the primary location of the ritual was in the largest and most magnificent hall of Witherwater City.
It had once been the temple of Beast God Aruger, but it was now a ritual hall where his believers were slaughtered like pigs. The cruelty and bloodiness of the world were an eternal constant. It was a pity and a shame, but nothing could be done about it.
As many as fifty thousand orc believers had their throats cut apart and pushed into a deep pit that had been dug in the hall. Warm blood trickled from their contorted corpses in a strange and eerie pattern, gathering at the bottom of the hole. As the number of orcs pushed in increased, the blood started to rise, covering all the corpses in their blood.
The souls of the dead orcs slowly dispersed from their bodies and started ascending toward the sky in accordance with the planar laws. However, the moment they came into contact with the walls of the pit, mysterious glowing runes appeared and prevented them for leaving.
Only the more spiritually sensitive or those who had come into initial contact with the planar laws could sense the Planar Consciousness’ rage and fury through the vibrations of the planar laws.
Someone had deeply angered the Planar Consciousness!
In fact, it seemed as if they had even caused it to sustain some damage.
The powerhouses were horrified.
What was the Planar Consciousness?
It had no solid form and was not a pure being with a conscious of its own. Instead, it was the amalgamation of the collective consciousness of the hundreds of billions of lifeforms and substances within the plane. Before the plane grew to become a large one, this Planar Consciousness was like an embryo growing within it. It had no complete or independent consciousness, only crude and straightforward instincts.
Of course, these outsiders had managed to hurt it through special means, causing it to feel a threat to its existence. It used this unique method to imprint its deep hatred for all the invaders in the depths of the souls of all living beings of this plane.
The plane was its body, and the Planar Consciousness was its crude instinct that it had just awakened. Meanwhile, the planar laws were the tools with which it ruled and controlled a planar space. Now, some outsiders had invaded the planar laws and were fighting with it over control of the planar space. These were mortal enemies that could not be forgiven!
The very next moment, these evil witches had successfully turned themselves from powerful enemies to its unforgivable mortal nemesis.
Only those who had personally experienced the consequence of doing so could understand the terror of having done so!
Greem pushed apart the wooden windows in his room and looked at the terrifying, crimson sky. For the first time, he felt the unrelenting hostility coming from the Planar Consciousness.
His breathing suddenly became forced and labored!
