Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 879 Everything is ready, the summoning ceremony begins!
Cao Xing sensed the presence appearing near his territory and narrowed his eyes.

"These guys have arrived. It seems our plan for tonight can proceed."

So he turned to the dwarf blacksmith and said, "Harold, you can continue your work."

"I have to go out for a bit."

Harold bowed slightly. "Yes, my lord!"

Then, Cao Xing walked through the forge and out of the blacksmith shop.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the dramatic temperature difference sent shivers down one's spine.

(PS: The magic shield only blocks the external wind and snow; cold air can still enter, and the internal air circulates.)
"call--!"

With a burst of magical energy, Cao Xing's figure vanished from the spot.

...

...

A moment later, Cao Xing reappeared on a plain a dozen kilometers away from Xinghuo City.

He looked around but didn't see anyone.

The next moment, he lightly tapped the ground with his staff and casually said, "Come out, all of you."

The moment the tip of the staff touched the ground, an invisible sound wave, imbued with magic, spread across the snowfield.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

Several dark figures were instantly jolted out of hiding and staggered onto the snow.

They emitted bursts of dark energy, like flowing liquid.

These were a few demons led by the lame peasant woman.

They looked at Cao Xing with fear and apprehension.

Because it had been less than a month since we last met.

However, they could clearly sense that the aura emanating from this otherworldly lord had become even more profound and terrifying!
At this moment, a strange thought involuntarily arose in the minds of all the demons.

Is this rate of growth even human?
Cao Xing stood there, chuckling, "What are you standing there for? Are you afraid I'll devour you?"

"Don't worry, I have signed a contract with your Demon Lord."

"I will not take action against you until the terms of the contract are finalized."

The demons looked at each other, then nodded.

They moved cautiously, seemingly worried that this capricious otherworldly lord might suddenly turn on them.

However, after seeing that he was indeed just standing there holding his staff without making any other movements, the demons breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Upon reaching Cao Xing's side, the lame peasant woman, her body hunched over, said in a hoarse voice, "My lord... we brought the ritual materials the Demon Lord asked us to collect..."

As she spoke, she pulled a wriggling black sac from her tattered apron and presented it with her nearly rotting hands.

Cao Xing didn't immediately take the bag, but asked, "Besides these things, there's another material I specifically asked the Demon Lord to find for me. Did you find it?"

The peasant woman's cloudy eyes darted around, and she said in a low voice, "They're all inside, sir..."

"That thing... took up a lot of our time and effort..."

Cao Xing casually waved his staff, pulling the black pouch in front of him, and then took everything inside.

[Received: 100 Netherworld Demon Crystals]

[Obtained: Blood of the Abyss*30]

[Received: Funeral Incense *5]

[Obtained: Dark Sphere *1]

[Obtained: Heart of the Light-Eating Beast *1]

...

The first four types are all extremely rare dark materials used to construct a dark teleportation array that can transport the Demon Lord to the main plane.

The last one is what Cao Xing needs most right now.

He held the black heart that was still beating slightly and gleaming with an eerie purple light.

He sighed inwardly, "These demons are indeed quite skilled; they can even find the heart of such an ancient creature."

"Now I have all four materials I need!"

Excitement gleamed in Cao Xing's eyes; he was already eager to move on to the next step of his plan!

At this moment, the lame peasant woman cautiously said, "My lord... the Demon Lord asked me to ask you when we will retrieve the 'Fallen Feather'..."

Cao Xing did not reply.

Because the 'fallen feather' she mentioned is the final key material for forming the dark teleportation array.

However, this thing, although it has a specific location, is in the 'Abyss of Slumber' in the Southern Continent.

But that area is the territory of the three major clans.

Moreover, these three races do not seem to have a very good impression of humans.

Currently, during the event, Cao Xing doesn't have time to take people to the Southern Continent.

"What's the rush? The 'Fallen Feather' is in the Southern Continent, and I still don't have the ability to move across continents."

"I'll pick it up when I have time."

As he finished speaking, he lightly tapped the ground with his staff, and an invisible power of moonlight mixed with a bone-chilling cold rippled outwards.

"Tell your Demon Lord that if he wants to descend upon the Prime Material Plane, he'd better wait patiently."

The lame peasant woman felt the chill and trembled, immediately kneeling down on the snow.

The rotting cheeks pressed against the cold, accumulated snow.

"Yes Yes……"

"I will convey your message to the Demon Lord..."

It appeared extremely humble and dared not refute at all.

Cao Xing put away his staff, waved his hand and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go back now."

"I'll contact you again once I've collected the 'Fallen Feathers'."

The four demons exchanged a glance and nodded respectfully.

"Yes……"

Then, a burst of black mist erupted from the lame peasant woman, completely enveloping the four demons.

"call……"

As a gentle breeze swept by, all four figures vanished, leaving only a few melting black stains on the snow.

After the group of demons left, Cao Xing looked at the materials in his backpack, and a smile returned to his face.

"Excellent, all the materials for the summoning ritual have been gathered!"

"Tonight is the night the operation begins!"

He pressed the communication device to his ear and quickly said, "All combat personnel, cease exploring the 'Dream Fragment' and prepare to return to the territory."

"Those below the legendary level, guard Starfire City well. Those of legendary level and above, come find me at coordinates ****."

"Everyone, prepare for battle..."

...

...

Meanwhile, well-equipped and powerful combat squads are exploring the dream fragments.

They swiftly traversed the narrow paths, their weapons gleaming with various colors as they swiftly slayed the nightmare monsters they encountered, skillfully collecting their spoils.

At that moment, upon hearing Cao Xing's message, all the teams stopped in their tracks.

The captains turned around and shouted, "The lord has ordered! From this moment forward, all of you return to your territory!"

The soldiers straightened up and responded in unison, "Yes, sir!"

The next moment, without hesitation, they leaped down the path.

The figure gradually blurred as it fell, disappearing into the endless dark purple mist.

When their consciousness completely faded away...

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar lord's castle and energy station.

The moment they regained consciousness, these combatants sprang into action.

They quickly followed their lord's instructions and split up to carry out their respective tasks.

Warriors below the legendary level transformed into streaks of light and appeared on the walls of Starfire City, the clanging of blades being drawn echoing throughout.

Meanwhile, combatants of legendary rank and above took to the air and sped towards Cao Xing's location.

Even Liu Muxue, whose belly was already slightly protruding, put on her armor again, raised the ancient sword in her left hand and held the five-colored magic shield in her right hand, and transformed into a white light that shot into the sky.

Dozens of dazzling trails streaked across the sky above the entire territory, like a meteor shower.

...

...

A few minutes later, in a deserted valley.

The cold wind howled, and the snow was piled high.

Moonlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the various plants growing in the valley like water, coating them with a faint silver glow.

Among them are some rare plants such as Aurora Grass and Frost Whisper Flower, which shimmer with a dreamlike glow under the moonlight.

This valley was where one of the Church of Light's large camps was hidden.

It was here that Cao Xing first tricked Fang Long, and then tricked the Demon Lord.

At that moment, he whispered, "Tonight... it's your turn..."

"Let's settle our score tonight."

Cao Xing stared down at a charred area, the traces of a battle a year ago.

At the same time, several powerful figures quickly flew to his side.

There was Binglan riding a 300-meter-long dragon, the icy wind whipped up by its wings causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. There was Moyin, who had already entered the form of a dark witch, her body shrouded in a twisted aura of darkness.

And then there's Malenina, her red hair flying wildly, the Bloodthirsty Blade in her hand burning with an inextinguishable crimson flame...

He even has his own pet and mount: the Calamity Dragon Bingbing, which spreads its ice crystal wings that blot out the sky.

The aura emanating from the group of powerful individuals dispelled the mist throughout the valley, and even the falling snowflakes vaporized thousands of meters above the ground.

"Om..."

A pure white light fell behind Cao Xing and transformed into Liu Muxue, who was wearing battle armor.

Her soft voice rang out: "Ah Xing..."

Upon hearing the call, Cao Xing quickly turned his head and immediately saw Liu Muxue, whose face radiated maternal warmth and whose belly was slightly protruding.

Cao Xing's gaze softened instantly.

"Mu Xue, if a fight really breaks out later, don't get involved."

"Follow my instructions and unleash legendary combat skills and demigod skills."

A flicker of hesitation crossed the Aurora Knight's eyes.

Although she longed to fight alongside them, she knew her physical condition wouldn't allow it.

So Liu Muxue nodded gently: "Okay, I understand."

After settling her in, Cao Xing turned around, his gaze once again becoming authoritative and cold.

"Is everyone here?"

The crowd nodded in agreement and raised their weapons in response.

"Very well, let the ceremony begin!"

After saying that, Cao Xing took out a large pile of materials from his backpack.

This includes space crystals, light crystals, radiant talismans, and so on.

Then he handed the materials to Assam and Renis, instructing them to place them in different locations according to their designated orientations.

The two acted swiftly.

Assam rode his frost wolf across the snow, placing materials on the ground one by one.

Renis placed materials at intervals along another direction.

The two moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the pattern of a large magic circle with a diameter of over a kilometer gradually took shape...

When Assam embedded the last space crystal into the array's core.

Instantly, the entire magic array lit up with a dazzling light, illuminating the valley as if it were daytime.

Cao Xing took a deep breath and slowly said, "Next is the next step."

“Use the three Holy Scriptures of Light as the core medium and embed them into the triangular position of the array eye.”

He looked at Isabel beside him and said, "Demon Sound, bring out the Holy Scripture."

The dark witch's eyes gleamed with an eerie purple light, and she seemed to be filled with anticipation for what was about to happen.

Her red lips curved slightly, revealing a breathtaking smile: "Yes, my lord~"

Then, she walked gracefully to the center of the formation, took out all three sacred texts from her backpack, and placed them on a floating triangular frame in front of her.

In an instant, the three sacred texts opened automatically, and pages poured out wildly!
The light shot into the sky like a volcanic eruption, weaving together in the air to form a giant cross of light.

The cross floated a hundred meters above the ground, emitting a strong golden light that illuminated the entire valley.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, the second step, the spatial anchor point, has also been successfully established."

"It seems the God of a Thousand Faces wasn't lying to me."

"Next comes the third step."

He lowered his head and rummaged through the necromancy bag.

Inside were piles of powerful corpses and some war golems.

Among these corpses are the Mother of the North Wind, the King of Night, and other legendary figures...

They all remained in the posture they were in before their deaths, as if time had stood still for them.

Some had ferocious faces, while others were as peaceful as if asleep, but without exception, they all exuded a suffocating pressure.

Among the pile of corpses, he found the body of a young man with pale skin and an Asian appearance.

His body remained intact, and his face still bore the traces of the terror he had felt before his death.

It is the seed of light...

Cao Xing murmured to himself, "To successfully summon the God of Light, we need to prepare a vessel that can contain his divine power."

"Otherwise, the transmission will fail."

The next moment, he took the corpse out of the necromancy bag, and the temperature in the valley instantly froze a layer of frost on his skin.

“I remember… your name is Shen Shengjie.”

"Although you joined the Church of Light from the beginning, you not only did not make any contribution to the survivors of Blue Star, but also caused the deaths of many people."

A hint of disgust flashed in Cao Xing's eyes: "Now, let your corpse serve its final purpose."

After he finished speaking, seven dark gold nails reappeared in his hand.

Each long nail was engraved with ancient taboo runes, gleaming ominously in the moonlight.

Then, Cao Xing threw the corpse in his hand into the air, and the surging magic power lifted the corpse up.

Drawn by magic, the corpse flew automatically toward the cross and then hovered steadily in the very center of the cross of light.

Like Jesus on his crucifixion, he opened his arms and pressed them against the cross.

At the same time, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed squarely on the corpse.

Shen Shengjie's body was shrouded in a holy light, like a true saint.

Golden light flowed around him, giving even his pale skin a divine glow.

However, this miraculous scene did not move Cao Xing in the slightest.

He simply raised his hand and waved it, and the seven long nails transformed into seven streams of dark golden light that shot out!

"Puff! Puff puff puff!"

Seven muffled thuds in succession.

The long nails were driven into seven locations in total, including Shen Shengjie's forehead, throat, heart, palms, and ankles.

Each time a long nail is driven in, a ring of black and red energy ripples erupts.

The moment the last nail was driven in, it was as if some kind of seal had been placed, and all the restless energy calmed down.

His original sacred radiance was stained with a dark purple, and the cross turned into a strange black and gold shape.

At this moment... Shen Shengjie's corpse has become a perfect vessel!

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, "The third step was a success."

"Next comes the final step of the ceremony..."

"Using the heart of the Light-Eating Beast as a medium, we will activate the Light Seed imprint left by the God of Light within Shen Shengjie's body."

"Then... activate the teleportation array and forcibly pull the God of Light to the main plane!"

Thinking of this, a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, the heart gleaming with a dark purple light reappeared in Cao Xing's hand.

As he spread his five fingers, his heart slowly floated up and gradually flew to the top of Shen Shengjie's head.

"burst."

As Cao Xing uttered the words, his heart suddenly exploded!
A rich, dark purple energy, as black as ink, was splashed onto his body.

Shen Shengjie's originally glowing body quickly dimmed, starting from the top of his head.

Around the teleportation array, a group of legendary powerhouses stared intently at this scene.

Some gripped their weapons tightly, while others held their breath; tension and anticipation filled the air.

When Shen Shengjie's corpse completely turned black...
The air in the entire valley seemed to freeze for a moment.

A few seconds later…

"Om-!"

This massive teleportation array, with a diameter of over one kilometer, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented golden light!
Like a pillar of light reaching the sky, it shot up tens of thousands of meters into the air!
It illuminated the entire snowy plain as brightly as day!

"Rumble..."

The valley began to shake violently, and countless rocks tumbled down the mountainside.

From this golden light, a terrifying aura that was suffocating also emanated!
Cao Xing took a deep breath and whispered, "Everyone, get ready!"

"The teleportation array has been activated. Prepare to face a formidable enemy!"

The moment they heard the command, all the powerful figures tensed up!
Mo Yin's dark purple dress fluttered without wind, and a dark purple vortex of magic swirled around her.

Assam once again entered his Holy Frost Wolf form, raising the Lake Maiden's Sword high in his hand!

Renis drew back the [Elegy of Time], and arrows imbued with destructive power were poised to be unleashed!
More than a dozen legendary and demigod-level beings simultaneously drew their weapons, creating a terrifying aura in mid-air!
All eyes were fixed on the center of the pillar of light, waiting for the legendary being to descend!

...

...

Outside the main plane, there is a special region.

This place is shrouded in darkness year-round, and the rules of the main plane cannot extend here, resulting in extremely thin divine power.

This area is the Land of the Underworld.

It imprisoned a group of ancient beings who had been stripped of their divine status.

A hoarse whisper came through.

"Gentlemen, it has been confirmed... Dem and Terimaon are both dead..."

"Of the six gods who escaped this time, nearly half have perished!"
