Chapter 872: The Descent of God
At this moment, Moth could no longer meet their expectations.
Until now, everything had gone smoothly for him, and he had maintained the upper hand throughout the battle. Even when Immortal Yuan Lu appeared, followed by the warrior monk Qu Hu, neither had been able to stop his advance.
What he had not anticipated was that the last remaining seventh-realm youth would unleash a divine thunder so powerful that even he could not withstand it.
It was the Dragon God's Orb.
This was the most precious treasure left behind by the ancient Dragon God, and in this moment, it finally revealed its true power.
Not far away, Immortal Yuan Lu lay badly injured on the ground, watching the scene unfold. His pupils dilated.
A wave of relief washed over him. Fortunately, he had kept a clear head and chosen not to betray them. Chu Liang had been holding onto a trump card all along. If Yuan Lu had shown even a hint of ill intent when the restriction was lifted, that devastating strike would have been aimed at him.
Of course, the reason he had wholeheartedly helped Chu Liang was not just because of the promised rewards.
He clearly understood that the demons’ current advantage was only temporary. Outside the Celestial Northern Prison, the world still belonged to the righteous human factions.
If he behaved and proved himself useful, there was still a chance he might one day see the light again. But if he tried to stir up trouble amidst the chaos, the outcome would be certain. Moth might manage to carve out a bloody escape, but he certainly would not.
With that mindset, he chose to fully support Chu Liang. And as it turned out, that decision had likely been the right one.
