Castle of Black Iron

Nobody got the point of Meng Shidao. Therefore, all the 1 million-odd people over the square became a bit restless. Even though backbones of the Gobbling Party and the disciples of Meng Shidao had been greatly shocked as they didn't know what to do next.

Zhu Laosan's heart was pounding heavily. Not knowing why, when he saw the shadow on the top of the far-ancient morality stele and listening to the shadow's voice, he felt thirsty as his excitement was gradually replaced by fear instinctively. At this moment, he finally felt regretful taking his son here to attend this motherf*cking Opening Stele Festival.

"Dad, I'm afraid..." Zhu Laosan's son also became restless as he pulled Zhu Laosan's hand and raised his head, muttering, "Let's go back..."

'Go back?'

'Yea, we should go back, but...'

After looking around the dense mass of people, Zhu Laosan realized that he and his son had been confined in the crowd. They could barely leave this place. Additionally, if they wanted to leave here at this moment, the result would be...

On this occasion, small figures would always worry about their personal gains and losses. Zhu Laosan didn't know what would happen next; however, he was crystal clear about the outcome if he dared leave here at this moment; because it meant that he and his son didn't respect Meng Shidao. If they really left here at this moment, Zhu Laosan and his son might not be able to live in Zhujia Village at all. They might even lose their lives. Given the influence of the Gobbling Party, if they wanted to kill them, it was like how an elephant killed an ant with its foot.

When Zhu Laosan was struggling inside for a few seconds, that shadow on the top of the far-ancient morality stele didn't spare any slim chance for him to hesitate or struggle. That shadow raised his hand. Closely after that, he gave out a streak of bloody light which shot in the far-ancient morality stele. Then, Zhu Laosan saw a terrifying, odd scene——the black far-ancient morality stele suddenly gave out strong red light. Meanwhile, a huge black hole suddenly appeared on the smooth surface of the far-ancient morality stele like a huge black swirl or a ghost's wide mouth. At the same time, those backbones of Gobbling Party and the disciples of Meng Shidao who were closest to the far-ancient morality stele exclaimed and flew off towards huge black mouth in a flurried way. When they approached the huge black mouth, those people were instantly shattered and turned into blood mist before being engulfed...

The entire square was covered with great fear. Everyone on the square flustered as they all exclaimed with panic. Zhu Laosan even saw some knights suddenly flying off the crowd and wanting to escape. However, in an instant, the red light that the far-ancient morality stele gave out had covered all the people on the square. Those knights who were already in the air were then being absorbed in the huge mouth with exclamations and turned into blood mist like fish being hooked...

Zhu Laosan became greatly panic-stricken. He found that he and his son were both floating up; meanwhile, his blood appeared to be pulled out of his body by a great force.

He shouted with tears and nasal mucus as he held his son's hand tightly. His son and many people in the surroundings were frightened so much that they all burst out tears.

Zhu Laosan and all the people in the surroundings were towed by that huge hole in the middle of far-ancient morality stele out of control like a leaf in a hurricane.

When they almost entered the huge hole, Zhu Laosan saw much grim black qi coming out of the top of the huge hole and binding a golden light&shade like shackles from all directions.

"Meng Shidao..." That light&shade being confined uttered a majestic and furious growl.

It was the last voice that Zhu Laosan heard. Closely after that, he and his son had turned into blood mist like all the other 1 million-odd people on the square...

...

The area being covered with the red light from the far-ancient morality stele was expanding. Only after a short while, the red light had absolutely covered the entire region within 35 miles like water that flowed out of a bowl. As a result, millions of people who were celebrating the Opening Stele Festival on the squares in the periphery of Vast Universe Mountain were blown up. All of their blood completely left their bodies and turned into scarlet carps. Following after, those carps shot towards the far-ancient morality stele in an overwhelming manner. Only after a short while, all the scarlet carps had entered the far-ancient morality stele through the huge black hole. Meanwhile, the huge black mouth was expanding as it gradually covered 2/3 of the entire morality stele...

The entire far-ancient morality stele had already floated up. Meanwhile, thick clouds came into being within thousands of miles in the sky together with lightning bolts and roaring thunders. They formed a funnel-shaped huge cyclone in the sky above the far-ancient morality stele. Meng Shidao was standing on the top of the far-ancient morality stele with glow in his eyes as his hair fluttered in the wind.

Meanwhile, wisps of black qi flew out of the huge mouth of the far-ancient morality stele and were absorbed by Meng Shidao's body. As he absorbed more and more black qi, Meng Shidao's look gradually changed. His skin was gradually covered with fine black scales as his brow ridge bulged while being covered with a hard horny layer. Meanwhile, long fingernails grew out of his hands like that of ghosts. Even a black sharp horn grew out of his central forehead.

As Meng Shidao transformed, his qi was also growing stronger. In an instant, all the earth, water, wind and fire elements within thousands of miles became energetic as a huge black immortal chakra being circled by numerous runes appeared behind Meng Shidao.

"Is this the power above sage-level knight?" Meng Shidao muttered as he watched his hands with a smile. Meanwhile, he broke a mountain peak of Vast Universe Range into pieces dozens of miles away with a punch, causing an earthquake.

"Hahaha..." Meng Shidao finally guffawed.

However, before he finished his words, as more and more black qi poured in his body from the far-ancient morality stele, the second black immortal chakra started to appear behind Meng Shidao.

"Meng Shidao..." the golden light being confined by the shackles of black qi inside the far-ancient morality stele roared again.

"Your Majesty, even though you don't want to cooperate with us, you can never prevent the demon overlord from coming to this world anymore. Humans and Taixia Country will succumb to the demon overlord again. As for that item in Emperor Xuanyuan's royal palace, I will take it myself..."

When Meng Shidao spoke, the scene in the huge, black mouth had changed. A world being filled with black fog and flames appeared in the huge mouth. A terrifying giant as huge as a mountain with scarlet blood was filling that whole world. When he waved his hand, dense mass of demon knights instantly poured out of the huge mouth and came to this world. They then started to look around with greedy and grim eyes.

"Go, destroy everything you see. As you're created by the demon overlord, welcome the demon overlord with damages and massacre..."

Those knights flew in all directions like destructive tides ceaselessly. Only after a short while, the quantity of demon knight who had poured out of the far-ancient morality stele had already been greater than 200,000. Additionally, more and more demon knights were pouring out of there...
