Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 40: Refining the Heavenly Demon Formation
Enter the Palace of Pageantry.

This time was much more lively than the last demon gathering convened by the Holy Lord. Nearly three hundred great demons gathered here, talking and laughing.

"Qiu Yuan, long time no see!"

"It's you, kid, you're still alive!"

"Fuck, what are you talking about?"

"Hahaha"

The demons chatted with each other.

If it weren't for their strange appearance, even giving people a weird feeling, Shentian would have suspected that he was dreaming of his past life.

Shi Hao put his right hand on his shoulder, and the two of them found a place to sit down. There was still some time before the King's Seat officially began, and the eight Holy Lords had not yet appeared.

However, Shentian knew very well that the Holy Lord and the others would probably not show up.

Shi Hao said, "Come, try this Dark Demon Brew. I heard it was brewed by the Lord of Heaven himself and stored underground for a thousand years. It tastes great."

Upon hearing this, Shentian picked up the wine glass, looked at the deep red magic wine in the glass, and then drank it all.

When the magic wine goes down your throat, it's first fragrant and then sweet. It's indeed much better than the wine at the devil's party.

Putting down the wine glass, Shen Tian said, "Shi Hao, do you feel that something is wrong today?"

Shi Hao drank several large glasses of wine, and swept his puzzled eyes across the faces of everyone present, saying, "What's wrong? Aren't we all here?"

Shentian sighed.

As Shi Hao is his only friend, Shen Tian really wants to help Shi Hao escape this predetermined fate.

Then Shen Tian pinched his left hand, circulated the little demonic energy in his body, and sent a message to Shi Hao: "Shi Hao, I am sending you a message now, please don't say anything and listen to me!"

Shi Hao's body trembled, and suspicion flashed in his eyes, but out of confidence in himself, he pretended that he heard nothing.

Shen Tian breathed a sigh of relief and continued to transmit his message: "I don't know if you have noticed the recent great changes in heaven and earth, but I want to tell you that this great change in heaven and earth is no less than the struggle between monarchs during the Chaos Period."

"In the face of this great change in heaven and earth, even the Holy Lord and his companions are very likely to be trapped in an inescapable quagmire."

"I want to tell you, if you have a way to leave here, then do it. And after you leave, it would be best if you could find a place to seal yourself away and sleep through this great change in the world."

"Otherwise, what awaits you is being sealed away along with the Holy Lord and the others, trapped in thousands of years of wear and tear until your death!"

Hearing this, Shi Hao paused in his drinking, and then his voice rang out from Shen Tian's mind: "Shen Tian, ​​do you know something?"

Shen Tian sighed inwardly, "Yes, to be honest, the Holy Lord and his men intend to extract the demonic energy of the three hundred great demons present to help them forcibly ascend to Chaos Monarchs, thereby resisting the great changes in heaven and earth."

"This"

Shi Hao looked shocked.

After a long pause, Shen Tian heard Shi Hao's voice again in his mind: "Even the Holy Lord and his men are not sure they can resist the great changes in heaven and earth?"

"Well, so now is the time to use the power of blood to leave before the Holy Lord and the others take action. It will be too late if you leave later."

"What about you? You're not leaving?"

"Me?" Shen Tian smiled. "Haven't you noticed a difference in my aura a long time ago?"

Shi Hao was startled and turned his head to look.

Shentian then felt a divine thought sweeping over him, as if scanning him thoroughly from the inside out.

Then, Shi Hao's voice, which had become a little sharp due to anger, rang out from his mind: "Fuck, you are actually a clone!"

Shen Tian quickly covered his ears and said, "Otherwise, my original body should have entered a dormant state by now. Even now, I can only hold on for a few hours at most."

"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier!"

After saying this, Shi Hao stood up without saying anything else and walked towards the palace gate.

Shentian noticed a red demonic energy emerging from Shihao's shoulders, a sign that Shihao was about to use his full power of blood demonic energy. Seeing this, Shentian closed his eyes and sighed softly.

This is all he can do now. As for whether Shi Hao can survive the great changes in the world, that depends on Shi Hao's own luck.

Boom—boom boom—

Suddenly, bells rang one after another.

The sound is dull,

It was as if the bell being struck had long since decayed.

Shentian opened his eyes, and divine power emerged in his eyes. Shentian's gaze penetrated the top of the palace and fell on the sky outside.

Only in the sky,

The figures of the eight Holy Lords appeared one by one!

They were all wearing magic armor, holding magic weapons, and each of them held a blood-red bronze tripod in their hands.

God knows,

That is the hub of the Demon Refining Formation!
The eight bronze tripods represent the eight directions of the Demon Refining Array. When the Demon Refining Array is activated, the demonic energy of the three hundred demons in the array will be transferred to the eight people through the bronze tripods, thereby breaking through the Chaos Monarch!
"Is it about to begin?" Shentian murmured.

At this time, in the sky, Bo Gang held the bronze tripod and said, "Didn't you notify Shentian? Why is he still down there?"

Ximu said indifferently: "Bogang, haven't you figured it out yet? The Divine Heaven below is not the real Divine Heaven."

"Not the real Shentian? Could it be that Shentian has also been deprived of his soul?" Bo Gang said in surprise, remembering Zhu Shan, whose soul was deprived by Dao Xuan at the last Demon Festival.

Zhu Lan said speechlessly: "Ximu means that the Shentian below is not Shentian's real body. From the beginning, it was Shentian's clone."

"A clone? How is that possible?" Bo Gang exclaimed in astonishment. "I went to pick up Shen Tian personally, and I didn't feel anything unusual these past few days."

Ximu said, "I only discovered something wrong with Shentian yesterday. I can only say that Shentian's clone was made with great precision. It even fooled us."

"Then do we still need to open the Demon Refining Formation?" Bo Gang asked.

"Open, why not?" The Holy Lord said directly, "Shentian wasn't part of our plan anyway. Whether he comes or not won't affect the final result."

"Let's start!" Ximu said, pinching out a rune with his right hand and hitting it on the bronze tripod.

Boom————

A long and deep metallic sound resounded.

The bronze tripod suddenly shone brightly. Its already blood-red color became even more eerie under this light, as if dripping with blood.

Seeing this, the seven Holy Lords also pinched out a rune one by one and struck the rune into the bronze tripod.

Bang bang bang.
Voices spread across the sky.

It was not until this time that the demons in the palace finally discovered that something was wrong.

Someone raised his hand and found that the demonic energy in his body began to leak out uncontrollably.

"What's going on? Why is my demonic energy out of my control? Who is draining it?!"

"Me too, my demonic energy was also drawn away."

"There is something strange in this palace!" said a demon, and then slapped the palace above his head with his palm.

However, just as the palm print was about to fall on the palace, a colorless and transparent formation suddenly rose from under everyone's feet, instantly enveloping everyone.

The palm print landed on the formation barrier, but it only caused a few ripples. The huge demonic energy contained in it was swallowed up by the formation before it even caused any waves.

This scene made everyone dumbfounded.
