Something seems off here.

"The surrounding environment shouldn't be this quiet."

"Furthermore, when I led my army here last time, there was no such altar or statues on it."

Wang Zhenguo ordered his troops to halt, a serious expression on his face.

Uther stood to the side, gripping his holy hammer tightly. "I can feel that the darkness here is at least ten times stronger than before."

"The Lord of Darkness may be hiding here."

Su Bai slightly raised his eyes and looked as far as he could.

The light emanating from the weapons in the hands of the Light Swordsman, Silver Knight, and Arcane Mage was clearly visible.

The demon statue at the top of the altar is about five meters tall, with two horns on its head, wings on its back, and a huge bone knife in its hand.

Although it is made of piled stones, it seems to be alive.

His facial features were distinct and meticulous.

Every detail is vividly depicted, making it exceptionally lifelike.

"Order the entire army to be on high alert and ready for battle at any time!"

Wang Zhenguo spoke rapidly and loudly.

"Yes, my lord!"

Uther responded in a deep voice.

Just then.

Countless wisps of mist erupted from the black altar, coalescing into a phantom image of a demon.

A hoarse, chilling voice echoed throughout the entire world.

"Su Bai!"

"I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"I noticed you back when you killed the evil archbishop!"

"Your talent, and the swarm of insects under your command, possess extraordinary potential that is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

"Surrender to me, embrace the darkness, and you will become incredibly powerful!"

"Join me, and conquer the Land of Redemption, and slay all living beings!"

"Otherwise, your swarm will eventually be destroyed!"

"And your fate is only death!"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai thought to himself, "Could I be the legendary chosen one of heaven?"

His exceptional talent and potential have even captivated the forces of darkness!

Raise your head.

I stared intently at it.

Lines of information popped up.

[Dark Lord - Avatar Projection]

[Description: This is merely a wisp of the Dark Lord's divine consciousness, but its destruction will also cause some damage to his true form.]

It's another clone projection.

Where exactly is the true form of this Lord of Darkness hidden?

Su Bai snorted coldly and shouted, "Playing tricks and daring not to show your true face!"

"You're hiding and acting suspiciously. In my eyes, you're nothing more than a rat in a ditch, unable to see the light of day!"

"I will annihilate you completely, and then the Dark Blood Curse will naturally be broken!"

Wang Zhenguo clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of a young man, full of temper, well said!"

The projection of the Dark Lord's avatar began to tremble violently, its voice filled with unparalleled rage.

"Insignificant human, how dare you be so arrogant!"

"You choose the path to hell when there's a road to heaven!"

"Unfortunately, you have successfully angered me!"

"What awaits you is an end more painful than death!"

"These eyesore soldiers, the aura of light they exude, disgust me!"

"Today you will all die! Under my burning rage, none of you will leave alive!"

Wang Zhenguo shouted, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "Bring it on!"

"We haven't found the true form of the Dark Lord yet. I don't know how to break the dark curse attached to my swarm?" Su Bai raised his head, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

Uther pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Based on my judgment, this is a dark demon born from the void."

"As long as we completely obliterate this clone projection in front of us."

"I will be able to purify the dark power within it, thereby breaking the dark curse."

Su Bai's eyes lit up with joy. "If that's really possible, then that would be wonderful."

"Don't worry! As a Lightbringer, Uther is very knowledgeable about the power of darkness. Since he has said it, there must be no problem."

Wang Zhenguo spoke rapidly as he addressed Su Bai.

at the same time.

The projections of the Dark Lord's clones began to surge.

It transformed into countless wisps of mist, merging into the demon statue standing atop the altar.

"Snap!"

A series of subtle cracking sounds rang out.

The gray-black stones on the surface of the devil statue are rapidly peeling off.

The purple skin was exposed to the air, and the veins were clearly visible.

With a "whoosh," the huge bone knife held in his right hand ignited with a dark green flame.

Su Bai was slightly taken aback, looking somewhat surprised: "The demon statue has come to life!"

"This will likely be a formidable enemy!"

Wang Zhenguo stared ahead, a serious look in his eyes.

The next moment.

"Bang!"

The stones on the devil statue's body all fell off, and it opened its scarlet eyes, leaping heavily from the top of the altar to the ground.

Black wings unfurled from behind, flapping forcefully and raising a cloud of dust.

Messenger of Hell

[Hero-level unit]

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: Lv68]

[Introduction: An evil creature from hell, sealed away for a long time, transformed into a demonic stone statue. The Lord of Darkness, through a projection of his own avatar, granted him new life.]

"A level 68 enemy!"

Su Bai's gaze was solemn, and his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

Compared to this powerful dark creature, his own interstellar swarm seemed rather weak.

Even the most powerful Blade Queen is currently only level 13, a full 55 levels lower than the Hellbringer!

For a moment, an unparalleled sense of urgency welled up in Su Bai's heart.

The Land of Redemption is vast and mysterious.

There are numerous powerful monsters and local forces.

Although the swarm is incredibly powerful and numbers over ten thousand, it is still no match for higher-level enemies.

The road ahead is long and arduous.

We must speed up and continuously become stronger.

Only in this way can we stand firm.

Only then can one remain calm and composed even if Mount Tai collapses before them.

“Uther is already level 65. Although he is three levels lower than this Hellbringer in front of us, with my help, it shouldn’t be a problem!”

Wang Zhenguo's gaze was intense, showing no fear whatsoever.

The messenger of hell raised his head and let out a roar that pierced the eardrums.

The sound waves spread outwards, causing waves of vibration.

In the distant jungle.

"roar!"

Suddenly, a cacophony of roars erupted.

Countless canine creatures emerged from the jungle.

They are the size of an adult Tibetan Mastiff, with their eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light.

Hellhound

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: Lv20]

[Description: A vicious hound from hell, bloodthirsty and cruel, who prefers to eat humans]

Behind the hellhound followed countless ghouls.

An endless array of dark creatures launched an attack from all directions.

Like waves of black sea, they surged and rushed in rapidly.
