Lilith looked up and sneered inwardly, "The pressure from reality is too strong; I can't do anything about you."

"But with this Gate of Hell, things are different. Although this gate cannot allow more demons to enter the real world, I have a secret method to temporarily open a passage inward."

"I will drag you and your puppet into hell!"

She knew very well that once she entered Hell, it would be the domain of demons, and she would set the rules.

When that time comes, the overwhelming demons will be able to overwhelm Wu Heng even if they are just a bunch of people. At that time, even if he has extraordinary abilities, he will be destined to have no way to escape.

Thinking of this, Lilith excitedly urged, "Speed ​​up!"

Inside the cave.

Wu Heng sat cross-legged, his face as calm as a frozen lake.

But his consciousness, like a sophisticated instrument, simultaneously monitored the crucial processes both inside and outside.

Most of his attention was focused on the 'Skinner' evil spirit before him.

The blood-red skull was now tightly bound by countless tentacles that flickered with dark runes, hovering in the center of the spell array.

It had been struggling and howling wildly, but its movements were gradually becoming sluggish, and the crimson soul fire that had been leaping in its eye sockets was beginning to flicker, like a candle in the wind.

The power of the evil spirit puppet is forcibly invading the core of the skinner's soul in a way that is almost like an infection, similar to a virus.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Wu Heng was able to shorten the enslavement ritual of the Morrick family ancestors, which required hundreds of years of painstaking effort, to just a few days.

He did not 'nurture' and control a particular evil spirit from scratch, but rather copied and implanted the already mature and absolutely obedient 'control module' within the evil spirit puppet's body, like a virus, into the depths of the skinner's soul.

This process is domineering and dangerous; the ancient soul of the skinner fiercely resists, and the bones creak under the strain.

Fine cracks spread across its surface.

Under Wu Heng's control, the evil spirit puppet's power was clearly superior.

The dark energy flow, like all-pervasive roots, penetrated deep into these cracks, eroding and assimilating every inch of bone and every fragment of the soul.

It is foreseeable that once the ritual is complete, the skinner will no longer be an independent individual, but will be completely integrated into the evil spirit puppet, becoming part of its power structure.

The combined power of the two creates a symbiotic relationship. More importantly, the will of the skinner will be completely overridden, turning him into a weapon in Wu Heng's hands that is absolutely loyal and as easy to use as an extension of his own arm, just like the evil spirit puppet.

At the same time, a wisp of Wu Heng's perception, like an invisible spider silk, quietly extended to the bottom of the cave, coldly watching Lilith's every move.

Inside the excavated cavity below.

An evil altar constructed of black rocks, hellish runes, and human sacrifices is nearing completion.

Lilith stood beside the altar, directing the remaining white-eyed demons to make final adjustments.

She could feel the chilling fusion energy within the cave growing stronger, and time was running out.

"Faster, faster!" Lilith urged in a shrill voice.

Her white eyes held a mixture of anxiety and cruelty. She could sense that the guy was getting stronger and stronger, so she had to open the gates of hell before Wu Heng completed the ritual!

Because she knew that if she failed this time, she would have no room to maneuver when facing the even stronger Wu Heng later. He could even easily disrupt her next mission to activate the Hell Seal.

At that point, Lucifer's punishment alone would be unbearable for her.

So this is likely her last chance.

Inside the cave, Wu Heng clearly sensed that the skinner's resistance was rapidly crumbling, and the fusion was entering its final sprint.

Nearly 90% of the evil spirit essence within the evil spirit puppet has been injected into the skinner, undergoing the deepest imprinting and reconstruction.

If this is interrupted, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but the skinner will completely lose control and even turn against them. The evil puppet itself will also suffer severe damage due to the backlash of power, resulting in a significant drop in its strength.

And at this most important moment--
A suppressed, eerie red light suddenly erupted from the altar below.

The innocent humans bound to the rune nodes melted and shriveled rapidly, turning to ashes, amidst their shrill and desperate screams.

Their flesh and souls were greedily devoured by the altar!

Even the black rocks that make up the altar itself began to soften and collapse, turning into a viscous, bubbling black liquid and magma that converged towards the center.

Rumble.
The ground shook!

At the center of the altar, the ground seemed to have been pierced open, collapsing downwards to reveal a straight, dark hole about three meters in diameter and bottomless.

The extremely strong stench of sulfur, like a solid column of smoke, mixed with scorching air, gushed out of the cave, instantly filling the entire valley and making it almost impossible to breathe.

This temporarily opened portal to hell was located precisely below the cave where Wu Heng was.

The moment the portal formed, a massive, chilling, terrifying suction force, accompanied by madness and wailing, suddenly emanated from the depths of the cave entrance.

This suction force does not act on physical entities, but rather acts directly on the soul and consciousness.

The rock beneath Wu Heng's feet groaned under the targeted suction, instantly becoming covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, and his face revealed a feigned anxiety and seriousness befitting the body's condition.

He had to appear as if he was being disturbed and threatened.

Lilith below, on the other hand, was truly impatient.

She could sense that the fusion fluctuations inside the cave had reached their final stage and could be completely completed at any moment!

"No, we absolutely cannot let him succeed! You all go and join the sacrifice!" Lilith screamed, ordering her subordinates without hesitation to push the five white-eyed demons closest to her into the edge of the hellish portal that was churning with black lava.

The five demons let out terrified howls as their souls and power were instantly extracted from the portal, turning into five wisps of twisted black smoke that disappeared into it.

With this extra energy sacrifice, the suction force of the Gates of Hell suddenly increased several times, like a flame being blown by a blower, and the dark entrance seemed to transform into the mouth of a greedy beast.

Click - boom!
The ground beneath Wu Heng's feet finally collapsed completely, and the shattered rocks, along with Wu Heng sitting cross-legged, the evil spirit puppet in the crucial fusion stage, and the skinner, all fell towards the bottomless portal to hell below.

During the descent, the anomaly reached its climax!
The blood-red skinner skeleton was finally completely conquered by the last evil power. After letting out a final, unwilling shriek, its entire skeleton melted and flowed like liquid metal under high temperature. (End of Chapter)
