Chapter 3477: Seven Demon PillarsEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"Seven Demon Pillars? What is that?"

"A kind of ritual object. The seven great demonic seeds of hell are condensed manifestations of hell’s power. According to the description in the Book of Hell, by harnessing the power of the seven great demonic seeds, one can control the true power of hell. The Seven Demon Pillars are used for conducting the ritual."

"I guess Exillion wanted to use the power of the seven great demonic seeds to control the power of hell, but something must have gone wrong during the process, or perhaps the ritual was interrupted halfway, causing the Demon Lord to ultimately fail to absorb the source power of hell..."

Ignis’ eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the corpse on the ground. "I think he must have accumulated a large amount of the source power of hell inside his body. His huge size is probably related to his inability to fully fuse the absorbed power."

"Besides, the ritual of the Seven Demon Pillars requires the cooperation of the seven great demonic seeds, so the seven great demonic seeds of hell must have been involved in this."

Ignis thought for a moment and continued to speculate, "It seems likely that Exillion made some sort of deal with the seven great demonic seeds, but encountered trouble during the process..."

"Right, I remember hearing from the clan elders that after the Demon Lord’s death event, there was a major upheaval in hell. The seven great demonic seeds were completely destroyed. After their rebirth, their power weakened significantly, and internal conflicts broke out. Most of the time, they stayed active only in the upper layers of hell."

Fang Heng listened to Ignis’ words, lightly leapt up, levitated to the top of another pillar nearby, and looked down to inspect.

Indeed.

When he first saw these demon pillars, he had a very familiar feeling.

Especially the pillar beneath his feet.

"Chi!"

Fang Heng infused mental strength into the demon pillar.

The demon pillar slowly activated from the power and blossomed with a gentle strength.

Huh!

It was the power of a hell demonic seed!

Ignis, watching from the side, was stunned, staring at Fang Heng with an expression of disbelief.

The hell pillar was activated!

So he was... a demonic seed!?

"Y-you are..."

Ignis stared at the runes on the demon pillar beneath Fang Heng’s feet.

Greed!

The power of Greed that could trigger the Seven Demon Pillars.

So he was one of the seven great demonic seeds!

Fang Heng tried the other pillars in turn.

The other pillars belonged to various demonic seeds, so he could not activate them directly.

Chen Yu, who did not know much about hell, felt a bit confused listening to Carl’s explanation and the conversation.

He looked at Fang Heng and asked, "Mr. Fang, now that we have found the Demon Lord Exillion’s corpse, can we find a way to close the hell passage?"

"Hmm, that’s not wrong."

Fang Heng said as he jumped down from the pillar and came to Exillion’s corpse.

"There are two methods. The first is to destroy Exillion’s body. Then, without the body providing power, the hell rift will naturally disappear."

"As for the second..."

Fang Heng was speaking when he suddenly noticed something was wrong and shifted his gaze toward the Demon Lord’s eyes.

Hmm?

Upon closer observation, the majority of the red hell energy waves dispersing from Exillion’s corpse originated from the forehead area.

Exactly between the eyebrows.

Fang Heng’s mind stirred as he recalled the God Clan remains that the spawns once obtained.

The forehead!

The Eye of God!

Could it be...

Was this body also the royal family of the God Clan?

Fang Heng flew to the forehead of the corpse, condensed a death aura in his palm, and suddenly slashed above the corpse’s forehead.

"Chi!"

The holy seal on the corpse’s outer layer was triggered and suddenly lit up, but the highly condensed death power directly acted through the seal on the skin at the corpse’s forehead, cutting a small piece of it.

"Chi..."

Under the skin, a corner of a dark gold divine runestone appeared.

The God Clan’s powerful physical self-healing made the torn skin quickly heal itself.

Fang Heng showed a puzzled expression, silently guessing.

This corpse belonged to the royal family of the God Clan.

The Eye of God on him had been taken away.

"Fang Heng, any discoveries?"

"Hmm, this corpse belonged to the royal family of the God Clan. The Eye of God on him is missing."

Zane found this quite normal and said, "I heard the God Clan cared deeply about the remains of their own kind. The Eye of God of the royal family can be left as an inheritance, so it’s normal for it to be taken away from the corpse and passed to the next generation..."

"Ah!"

While they spoke, Ignis, who was researching the Seven Demon Pillars, suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned to look at Ignis.

Zane frowned and complained, "What’s wrong? Why the sudden shout?"

Ignis looked like he had realized something and quickly looked back at Fang Heng, urgently asking, "Lord of the demonic seed, you mean the Eye of God? One of his eyes is missing?"

"Mm."

Ignis swallowed nervously, then looked at Chen Yu beside him. "Mr. Chen Yu, do you still have the photos of the hell rift you showed me earlier?"

"Yes."

Chen Yu handed Ignis the photos of the Eyes of Hell rift.

Ignis held the photos, compared the patterns on the nearby demon pillars, and stammered, "This... this is... the Eyes of Hell..."

Ignis then turned to the God Clan remains on the ground and immediately understood everything.

"The Demon Lord Exillion wanted to use the source power of hell to condense the Eyes of Hell. His own power alone was not enough, so he tried to rely on the seven great demonic seeds’ power."

"As I said before, the condensation process was interrupted by external power, causing the Demon Lord’s death. The incompletely condensed Eyes of Hell were then taken by the Holy Church."

Zane sneered and asked, "And then? This is all your speculation, where’s the proof?"

"The hell rift was opened by the power of the Eyes of Hell. This main rift is the activation of the Eyes of Hell. Doesn’t it look like an open eye?"

Zane examined it.

Looking carefully, the hell rift did look like a vertically opened eye.

Its size also happened to match the divine talisman on the God Clan corpse’s Eye of God.

"Indeed, somewhat."

Ignis said solemnly, "This is a projection of the Eyes of Hell. The real Eyes of Hell are near the rift passage."

"That’s right!" Chen Yu suddenly understood and said, "That’s why we found the spawns’ reconnaissance machines in the Ice Region. Those machines were actually used to protect the Eyes of Hell!"

He Xueyan frowned and said, "But so far our satellite positioning photos haven’t found anything resembling the Eyes of Hell."

"Maybe some kind of power shielded it. Visual shielding is the most basic."

Greed flickered in Fang Heng’s eyes as he looked at Ignis and asked, "What interests me now is not this. Ignis, you mean the Demon Lord Exillion once tried to fuse the source power of hell into the Eyes of Hell. Then what about me? Could I also try to fuse with the Eyes of Hell?"
