Chapter 449 Tide and Disaster

Tower of Appearance
In this city built around the temple, among the countless magnificent buildings, it still stands out so conspicuous.

The ancient and weathered towers have a strong imperial style, huge and majestic. The five towers are like five fingers, surrounding the temple and pointing straight to the sky.

Naturally, security was tight.

Likewise, it is naturally dilapidated and ruined.

Since the fall of the Eternal Empire, no one has come to see or pay homage to it for more than five hundred years. Now, shrouded in the shadow of the tower, only its former form remains.

Covered with dust.

By the time the last team of people who had been attacked by Ji Jue arrived at the foot of the tower, they had lost three more members, and a number of cannon fodder used to explore the way were also lost.

Covered with bruises and badly injured.

The circular corridor that was difficult to escape once you entered it finally opened a gap under the illumination of the ancient imperial mirror; the ruins full of human-faced jellyfish were passed safely with the help of the hypnosis of the cursed music box; the streets where countless afterimages gathered were carefully passed through with the protection of the talisman; the gorgeous and strange gallery was solved step by step through the consumption of cannon fodder…

This huge city may seem empty, but it is actually full of dangers. Who knows what kind of weird things you might encounter if you take the wrong step.

But at this moment, everyone actually felt a little relieved – the strange thing they saw at the first time had never been encountered a second time.

Well, because Ji Jue had already mixed in.

And it also brought them a little surprise…

After instructing the minter to carry all the harvest to wait for him outside the station, he followed quietly.

He even took a detour to the front and helped them open a shortcut in the corridor. After closing the door, he led the way to the ruins where the human-faced jellyfish lived in groups, and finally gathered a wave of monsters.

Just as everyone was walking through the corridor in fear, bowing every three steps and worshiping the imperial statue devoutly, Ji Jue, who was hiding behind the picture frame, picked out the last Ether who was left alone.

To be precise, they are those who are tainted and sinful, but it doesn’t matter.

Regardless of whether it is ether or filth, once you enter the temple, you are basically the same as a blind person. You can’t look at anything you want, and you can’t listen to anything you want. You are half crippled without doing anything.

What’s more, Ji Jue just cut off both of his ears…

Ji Jue was a kind-hearted person who couldn’t bear to see others suffer, so he helped him end his unfortunate journey in a straightforward manner – otherwise, if he kept him, he would have nothing to do but look at his teammates, and if he saw him, wouldn’t he be exposed?
“It’s just you.”

Behind the picture frame, Ji Jue selected his troops and chose Wu Ran, who was at the back, and reached out his hand without thinking.

The sudden warning blessing had been activated a moment before, but unfortunately… since entering this temple, its alarm has never stopped!

So, just when Huiran thought he was too slow and wanted to bow his head in panic, he saw a hand suddenly poking out from the emperor’s laughing mouth on the canvas.

Pressed on his forehead.

What the hell? !
He was stunned on the spot: Could it be that he was too ugly and he had raped the emperor?

“Congratulations, brother!”

In the moment of stagnation, a joyful voice sounded from his soul, along with a brutal and turbulent spiritual impact: “The emperor sees that you are sincere and has come to take you to the empire to enjoy happiness!”

In an instant, the spirit turned into a sword.

The spiritual impact of nothingness was also endowed with the terrifying destructive power of a sharp blade, piercing through the flesh, skull and brain from the outside to the inside.

The spirit of Chunjun appeared, overlapping with Ji Jue’s actions. Under the double operation, there was double output and double burst. The essence of supreme goodness and great evil intertwined and collided, erupting from within the soul!

Then, in an instant, there were thousands of piercings!

Under the covering and concealment of the body, the soul has burst like a bubble, the matrix has collapsed, and merged into the mechanical deity. The spiritual essence does not even have time to dissipate, and condenses into crystals under the operation of Ji Jue and the Shadow of the Soul.

The body, which had turned into an empty shell, had no time to fall before it was pulled into the picture frame by Ji Jue. Then, Ji Jue flipped out and fell to the ground.

In the side glances of others, he bowed devoutly towards the picture frame in front of him.

Business as usual.

It’s like nothing happened.

In less than a blink of an eye, Ji Jue’s hands and the soul shadow’s spiritual hands coordinated with each other to complete the removal of the other party’s facial flesh and blood in mid-air, and the making and wearing of a human skin mask. At the same time, he adjusted his body shape and raised himself by one centimeter. During the whole process, he took off the other party’s clothes and put them on his own body.

Finally, when leaving the frame, he swept it with his backhand, silently stitching the silently torn canvas together.

It’s all over.

With the double acceleration of soul and reflection, Miaoshou Tiancheng’s operating efficiency is so outrageous.

Just like that, I limped along in the procession, and when I walked out of the gallery, I sighed and cheered with everyone else. When I looked at the Tower of Audience so close at hand, I, like everyone else, burst into tears of excitement.

“Don’t worry, the Lord will never let you down!”

The leader, Wuyou Gong’s confidant, had a twitching expression. He suppressed the pain of losing both hands and promised again: “As long as the plan can be accomplished, what everyone has lost will be compensated a hundred or a thousand times!”

“Of course everyone believes in Lord Wuyou’s promise.”

“That’s right!”

“Ah, yes, yes!”

Ji Jue mixed in, nodding frantically, still pretending to be lame, and looking around curiously.

Although I don’t know what these idiots who have been thinking about restoring their country for hundreds of years are thinking, at least a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if only one ten-thousandth of one ten-thousandth of the empire’s collections and material resources are left now, it is still an astronomical figure that is enough to make people wonder how long it will take.

What’s more, there are the information and secrets passed down by word of mouth.

It is obvious that the intelligence work done over the years has been thorough enough. Even when going deep into the temple, there is no confusion. All processes and links have been taken into consideration.

Including the Tower of Audience at this moment, the tightly sealed tower slowly opened in the dim light of a talisman, revealing the magnificent space inside.

You can still vaguely make out its former solemnity and strictness, but after so many years, it has already fallen into disrepair, with only a pile of rusty armor and tools scattered everywhere.

In the darkness where even the lights could not illuminate, it seemed as if there were eyes staring at these outsiders, which was creepy.

The leader gave a look, and his subordinates immediately understood what he meant. They suddenly pulled up a frightened cannon fodder and ran into the darkness.

Suddenly, creepy chewing sounds and wailing were heard.

After a long time, in the darkness, several pieces of debris that looked like dried corpses fell down.

Ji Jue saw it clearly. The moment the living creature fell into it, all the afterimages entangled and bound by the black lines swarmed over it, devouring it hungrily…

However, when I looked over there, they seemed to be afraid and horrified, and scattered instantly, leaving only a few pieces of debris on the ground.

Ji Jue sighed silently.

After the fall of the empire, how many souls were left like these afterimages, entangled in the black threads woven by the tower’s shadow, unable to escape?
When the empire still existed, could the strictness of Tianyuan Law have been much better?

No wonder Fei Gong became so violent after sensing the aura of the temple…

“Follow me, don’t fall behind.”

The leader held the talisman and walked up the stairs step by step. The narrow light provided shelter for the group and everyone rushed forward.

Ji Jue, because of his leg problem, naturally fell behind a little, and he and another white deer supported each other. The other party was stunned for a moment and gave him a grateful smile.

“You’re welcome, it’s all what I should do.”

Ji Jue smiled innocently and held him tighter, fearing that he would fall behind.

While the other hand swept across the wall, he felt the ubiquitous spiritual circuits beneath the wall, which were still intact and magnificent after so many years.

It’s so grand that it feels completely unnecessary.

It’s just a beacon-like verification system, a switch, but it takes so much effort to create so many meaningless designs.

Disgustingly wasteful.

And after a long period of suffering, the last door finally opened before their eyes.

No surprises.

Arrived at the altar on the top of the tower!

After the team leader presented the talisman in ecstasy, a ray of faint light suddenly expanded and turned into a fierce light that illuminated thousands of miles.

After so much hardship and suffering, victory and success are within reach.

Everyone couldn’t help but smile at this moment.

He almost danced and cried.

Well, if some people didn’t have hands, some didn’t have feet, and some didn’t even have eyes…

Only Ji Jue sighed silently.

Shake your head with regret.

This won’t work!
Is it that simple? Why is there no reversal in the end?
It’s just like reading a comic book. The climax at the end is too peaceful and fails to highlight the meaning of passion and struggle. How could readers be willing to read it?

Sales will plummet, right?!
Fortunately, I am here, otherwise, wouldn’t Mr. Wuyou’s autobiography lose a wonderful highlight in the future? !
Then, he flicked the fingers behind his back silently.

Like flipping a switch.

The spiritual circuit that had just been opened was cut off again!
It was not difficult at all, just like reconnecting the circuit in the workshop, or even easier than that. The tower’s almost redundant protection and verification had no reaction at all when faced with the authority of the Elephant Mirror and the watch.

Fei Gong, who was almost going crazy, suddenly stabbed through the air!
Snapped!
In a flash, the blazing light went out without any warning just as it lit up.

Darkness came suddenly, and the smiling faces that had lost their light froze in place. They looked around blankly, staring blankly at the situation around them.

“What’s going on?!” The team leader was more frightened and confused than anyone else. He subconsciously looked at the craftsmen in the team.

The craftsman also looked confused and subconsciously wanted to check the altar, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he screamed and trembled in fear – the protection sequence, which had no reaction to Ji Jue, was suddenly activated, and a flash of lightning burst out, instantly burning half of the craftsman’s body to a crisp.

He fell to the ground before he even had time to react.

Howling in pain and struggling hard.

Then, in front of everyone’s shocked gazes, the flames… reignited?
Back to normal.

Suddenly, everyone, whose hearts were in their throats, breathed a sigh of relief and began to sweat coldly.

He turned around to give first aid to the wailing craftsman. He fed him a bottle of potion, and the dead man was resurrected. In an instant, 60% of his blood was restored and he was trembling and gasping.

“What exactly happened just now?” asked the team leader.

“But, maybe it’s because time has passed and the spiritual circuit has aged.” The craftsman forced a smile: “Some interruptions are normal. As long as the abnormalities are eliminated, we will be able to…”

Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, Ji Jue flicked his fingers again, and the rekindled flames went out without a trace. In the distance, a terrified scream sounded, so shrill and sharp that it made everyone’s hair stand on end. The leader was even more terrified when he heard the source of the sound.

“Mr. Wuyou!!!”

The team leader, who was raised by Lord Wuyou since childhood, had long since become one with Lord Wuyou’s Law of Shadow. Feeling the pain and anger coming from the other end, he instinctively panicked and was sweating profusely.

At this moment, he raised his newly grown hand, grabbed the craftsman by the collar, and shouted angrily: “What’s going on? What are you doing?”

“I, I don’t know how…”

The craftsman wanted to cry but had no tears. Feeling the murderous gazes, he trembled and moved towards the altar.

Just as he raised his hand, he saw the altar suddenly shake, and a flash of lightning flew out again, engulfing him, and he screamed in the thick smoke.

Then, the fierce light starts again!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the craftsman with admiration. He was indeed an elite in Yousui, and his efficiency was so fast!
After a lot of effort, the frightened craftsman got up from the ground. Before he could say anything, he heard…

Snapped!
extinguished.

This time, no one spoke.

He looked at the craftsman quietly, full of expectation and encouragement.

——Hey, you can definitely do it, right?!

“I, I…” A line of blood and tears oozed out of the craftsman’s charred face: “I really don’t know…what’s going on!”

“It’s okay!” Ji Jue clenched his fist and encouraged: “I believe in you!”

“Yes, yes, everyone believes you!”

“Come on!”

“Yes, come on!!!”

The craftsman was stunned, and he let out a final whine from his throat. He subconsciously wanted to wave his hands… The altar shook again, and a bolt of lightning struck out from the air and landed on him.

The body that had just healed with great difficulty was chopped into a mass of rotten flesh again.

Then, the flames reignited!
“Look, the phone is ringing! The phone is ringing!”

Ji Jue clapped his hands in amazement, his eyes sparkling, and said decisively: “It must be the powerful force behind it!!!”

In an instant, all those who didn’t understand what was going on nodded, followed him, surrounded the craftsman and clapped their hands.

Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to you!
Under the blazing flames and in such a strange atmosphere, the happy smiling faces looked like a cult’s sacrificial scene.

And then, of course, the power went out again.

In the darkness, there was constant applause.

Everyone looked down at the craftsman, cheering and applauding him.

“I, I…this is not right, this is not right…” The craftsman wailed. He had no idea what was going on. There was definitely something wrong. Someone must be interfering!

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth, another bolt of lightning struck him.

The rotten meat was smoking.

The light is rekindled.

The cheers and applause became louder.

Is this the sacrifice of stagnation? It’s amazing! It’s amazing!
Just like that, switch, switch, switch, switch, in the end, everyone simply pressed the craftsman onto the altar.

Under the bombardment of electric flashes, a lump of charcoal was still twitching under the influence of nerves, maintaining that intermittent light.

Verification is always difficult to complete!

Suffering in vain.

Just when Ji Jue was completely tired of playing, the hand behind him quietly pulled out the poisonous dagger that he had just brought, and stabbed it quietly towards the back of the white deer victim he was supporting…

From where the shrill screams came from in the distance, there was finally an intolerable roar.

Lord Wuyou roars!
After being crushed countless times, the tiger talisman seed suddenly rose up, resisting the gravity from the giant surface and forcibly holding up.

Then, a dark substance like mud emerged from the tiger talisman, like a palm, grasping a broken seed and forcibly stimulating it to sprout!
In an instant, raging flames that reached the sky and the earth rose from the ground, magnificent, endless, and violent.

It forcedly collided with the Shadow of Death in the forbidden area, causing waves.

Such a bright light and breath…

“Flame Tide!”

Ji Jue was stunned and speechless. Countless clues in his mind seemed to be connected together by something, but he couldn’t figure it out.

Hard to understand.

“Yes, the disaster of the flame tide.”

The victim of the white deer he was supporting sighed, “It took so many sacrifices to finally revive it, but it’s still hard to restore it. It’s hard to imagine what it would look like when it was complete, but I guess burning mountains and boiling seas wouldn’t be a problem, right?”

My back seems to be slightly itchy.

Unfortunately, it’s not easy to scratch it because someone is holding it.

He twisted his neck and rubbed his clothes to stop the slight itch, but he was completely unaware of the poisonous blade hovering at his heart on his back.

Stuck on a thin line.

In the midst of chaos, he was particularly calm.

He was not a subordinate of Lord Wuyou, so naturally he was not as anxious as the leader at this moment.

If you come here to work, you have to pay whether you succeed or not. So what’s the big deal about the scene in front of you?

“Brother, are you okay?” He looked at Ji Jue, and noticing his gradually heavier breathing, he sighed: “Thank you for your hard work. It will take some time for the knee bone to grow.”

“No, it’s okay.”

Ji Jue shook his head and smiled. After a moment of stiffness, he became smooth again, his expression becoming more peaceful: “I’m just curious about this. Didn’t you say it has been extinguished for a long time?
How come suddenly…”

“Mr. Wuyou spent a lot of money and actually managed to contact and persuade that saint.”

The victim was delighted when he spoke of this: “You may not know, Lord Sheheri once told me: Not only the flame tide, but also the dark fall, frost, blood rain, sky crack… all were sent into the world by that saint!”

Facing a curious gaze that was thirsty for knowledge, he smiled and decided to reveal a little secret: “Especially the disaster of the flame tide!

That was the disaster crystal that rose from the Abyss. It was said that when it was discovered, it had already merged with the whirlpool.

It’s a pity that it failed to sprout in the end.

Otherwise, it might hatch a unique seed of both the Absolute Abyss and the Whirlpool!”

It’s like a wolf chasing after deer, a tyrant of the tower, a filthy demon, no, even worse than that!

The evil demon who can receive the true essence of great evil naturally possesses a unique status and power, and there is naturally a world of difference between him and ordinary victims of evil.

The opposite of upheaval and ruins, the essence of abyss and whirlpool, the overlap of the spirit of nothingness and the matter of collapse, if it can succeed, what kind of terrifying power can be created? !

“Is that so…?”

Wu Ran seemed to be shocked. Just as he expected, he showed an expression of disbelief. He nodded with a smile that seemed to be both crying and laughing, and exclaimed: “It’s really amazing!”

After that, she looked at him expectantly, with a sincere and humble gaze, as if she could pay any price, and begged:

“May I ask the name of that saint?”

“Of course it is——”

The victim, the white deer, opened his mouth without thinking and wanted to answer, but then he was stunned and turned back in confusion.

Finally, I realized something was wrong.

How could there be someone in this team who doesn’t know about the existence of [The Sower]?

So, at that moment, he finally saw that smile that was flawless and shockingly standard.

Above the smile, dark eyes.

A void.

There was only pure blood and darkness entangled together, like a crack leading to the abyss.

Look at him.

“What on earth are you…”

He was stiff, glazed, incomprehensible.

But when I wanted to take action, it was too late.

late.

Snapped!
The poisonous blade was extended, and under the restraint, it easily pierced through the heart. Then, the spiritual hand stretched out from the shoulder and pressed on his face.

Chunjun piercing!

The victim, Bai Lu, fell to the ground, convulsing. In his final struggle, he only had time to tear off half of the mask covering Ji Jue’s face.

But beneath that broken face, another smile emerged, a winding smile crossing the crack and connecting with each other.

Unfortunately, too many sorrows and joys have already been burned to ashes.

In the darkness, there is only emptiness.

“It’s so quiet.”

Amid the dull thud of the body falling to the ground, Ji Jue lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and looked down at the faces that were turning around in surprise.

It’s so quiet.

There should be no silence.

He said, “You should wail more.”
