Chapter 543: The Oracle of the Witch God; A Shadow from the unknown Realm; Reversal of Time
The Witch God was an ancient deity. In ages past, it had been exceedingly powerful, with vast numbers of believers in the mortal world and flourishing incense offerings.
Yet, for reasons unknown, the Witch God had long since been submerged in the river of time, fading into obscurity.
However, Prince Qing’s heir had mastered certain ancient secret arts. Through them, he established a connection with the Witch God and became its emissary.
All this time, he had cultivated various secret techniques using essence blood and souls, offering them as sustenance to the Witch God. At last, he constructed this blood-sacrifice formation, using the lives of the captured civilians to summon the Witch God.
As Prince Qing’s heir finished speaking, dark clouds rolled across the sky. What had been bright daylight instantly turned pitch-black, as though a torrential downpour were about to fall.
A gigantic ghostly face appeared, formed entirely from clouds. Its expression was cold and emotionless as it gazed down upon the entirety of Liang County.
“Why have you summoned me?” The Witch God’s voice boomed like summer thunder.
“My god, in recent days the Prince’s forces have faced encirclement by the court and suffered heavy losses. In the battle at Qingfeng Ridge alone, casualties were immense.”
Prince Qing’s heir continued cautiously, testing the waters. “I beg the Witch God to intervene, to blunt the court’s advance and protect the Prince’s household!”
When news of the defeat at Qingfeng Ridge first reached him, Prince Qing’s heir had been utterly stunned.
Troops from the White Marsh Demon Kingdom, heterodox illegitimate gods of the Kingdom of Qian, three lords from the Demon Kingdom, as well as Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong and Yin Xuansheng, two third-realm Yang Spirit experts... Such overwhelming power had been completely annihilated?! It was simply unbelievable!
“For such trivial matters, you dare disturb me!” The Witch God’s voice came from the horizon, cold beyond measure.
