The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 258 : Dragging Everyone Down Together

The altar, while occupying a considerable area from the outside, had surprisingly few internal facilities or furnishings, appearing unexpectedly spacious.

As soon as the three entered, with their keen cultivator perceptions, they immediately noticed a closed golden scroll floating above the altar.

Yan Wangxing's pupils blanked out for a moment, his footsteps halting.

Chu Sang and Mo Baizhou walked several steps forward before realizing someone hadn't followed. Turning their heads, they found him standing rigidly in place like a puppet, as if he had lost his soul.

Sensing trouble, Chu Sang quickly threw a punch at his left shoulder. This punch was merciless. Yan Wangxing stumbled back two steps, barely regaining his senses. He looked around somewhat dazedly, then fixed his gaze on Chu Sang who had just struck him, "What are you doing? What did I do to offend you?"

She spoke calmly, "Call me your lifesaver. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know when you'd have died here."

Having just regained his senses, Yan Wangxing's mind was inevitably a bit slow. After a moment of bewilderment, he quickly understood. He had noticed his sudden loss of consciousness just now.

Since stepping into the altar, he had felt somewhat dazed. A mysterious force had been luring his attention, and then his consciousness seemed to have blacked out for a short while...

All three simultaneously looked towards the Divine Decree on the altar.

Mo Baizhou frowned, "Was it its doing?"

"Is this thing really that miraculous?" Yan Wangxing didn't dare to act rashly again.

When he first learned of the Divine Decree's existence some time ago, his initial reaction, like other Demon Lords, was to obtain it for himself. If it could greatly enhance his strength, wouldn't the entire Spirit Abyss Continent be his domain?

But now it seemed this object wasn't as simple as he had imagined. It could even control others' minds.

With the slightest carelessness, it could backfire, entrapping oneself and becoming its puppet.

"Mm, it appears that those harboring greed are more easily chosen by the Divine Decree," Chu Sang recalled the scene from the beast realm. The Demon Emperor's greatly increased strength must have been due to being possessed and controlled by the Divine Decree.

Rather than saying the Divine Decree freely gave power to others, it was more accurate to say it was selecting a suitable vessel, allowing it to act normally in the lower realm, turning clouds with a flip of its hand and rain with a wave.

And what would happen when a power far beyond the lower realm's power system descended upon this continent?

There was only one answer.

The world would collapse.

It would become a discarded piece in the upper realm's game of playing with the mortal world.

"Little Junior Sister, this object absolutely cannot be released. Why don't we destroy it?"

To be honest, Chu Sang had the same thought, but thinking and doing were two different things. The Divine Decree was no ordinary artifact. It was impervious to water, fire, blades, and spears. Trying to destroy it directly was no easy task. At least after trying for half a day, they still had no way to destroy it.

Forget about destroying it, they couldn't even approach within one meter of it.

Every time Mo Baizhou tried to get close, an invisible force would repel him. Even Unity stage demonic energy passed right through the air, unable to cause the slightest damage to the Divine Decree.

Bizarre.

Chu Sang rarely used the word "bizarre" to describe something.

She recalled the previous incident in the beast realm. The Divine Decree had descended there, and the Demon Emperor and other demon kings had already discovered its location, fighting over it. Yet no one had successfully obtained the Divine Decree. In the end, it was the female protagonist who got it.

Reflecting on the details, Chu Sang realized some inconsistencies.

The Demon Emperor had the ability to obtain and refine the Divine Decree immediately. Why did he delay for so long? Was it because he didn't want to take it? Or was it because... he couldn't take it?

Now it seemed the answer was likely the latter.

Mo Baizhou at late Divine Transformation stage and Yan Wangxing at early Unity stage, neither could obtain it. It didn't seem to be a matter of strength at this point.

Chu Sang pondered for a moment, "Let me try."

If demon race members couldn't take it, let a human cultivator try.

She was quickly proven wrong.

Chu Sang finally experienced what the two men had felt earlier. As soon as she stepped into the Divine Decree's coverage area, she found it difficult to take another step forward. How could the female protagonist take it when she couldn't? Was this the disparity between protagonist and supporting character?

Chu Sang wasn't willing to accept this. She was determined to obtain this Divine Decree today!

The manifestation of laws was truly divine. Chu Sang held her breath and struggled to approach, and actually succeeded in obtaining it.

The moment she touched the Divine Decree, a vortex capable of devouring everything suddenly appeared. The powerful suction was irresistible, dragging her entire being inside.

In the second before being pulled in, Chu Sang, quick-witted, grabbed Yan Wangxing as a shield. Yan Wangxing inwardly cursed her shamelessness and, in turn, dragged Mo Baizhou down with them. The idea was simple: if we're going to die, let's die together! No one gets to live alone!
