Chapter 253: Forbidden Evil Objects (Part )

The cloud light converged, and Xing Tianli stepped on the void, suspended between the sky and the sea.

Ahead, there was a gray haze, cold winds, sticky and damp fog, and a chilling and evil aura that pierced his face. There was also a faint fishy smell that filled the air. Xing Tianli felt a chill all over his body just by looking at the cold wind and evil fog in front of him, and instinctively did not want to get close at all.

The Central Islands of Shinonome are over.

Hundreds of islands large and small, tens of thousands of cities and towns, countless villages and towns, and hundreds of billions of Dongyun people were all gone.

Not only the Dongyun people, but also their livestock and poultry, the birds and beasts in the mountains and forests, and even the waters where the Central Islands are located, all the fish, shrimps, turtles, crabs, etc. in the deep sea were all destroyed.

Wherever the gray fog passed, all flesh and blood turned to ashes, and all life force was devoured.

In return, there were dozens of extremely thin gray lines hanging from the sky. Below each of the gray lines, which seemed real and illusory, there was a meter tall old man floating in the air. He was extremely thin, with only skin and bones left on his body.

The gray lines were tightly connected to their crowns, and they were suspended quietly in the void, like giant human-shaped fishing baits.

Their eyes flashed with dark green light, greed, cruelty, and an inhuman chill. They breathed heavily, as if there were tens of thousands of large blowers in their chests. Each of their deep breaths lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the same was true for inhaling and exhaling.

Their breathing echoed throughout the heavens and earth; their long, turbid breathing could be heard hundreds of miles away.

Because of their breathing, huge and slow whirlwinds were stirred up in the central archipelago shrouded in gray fog.

Huge wind whirlpools rolled up sticky gray fog, which eventually formed giant spindle-shaped fog balls between the sky and the earth, just as if a skilled craftsman had rolled spider silk into a ball.

In the sky, the primordial qi from the forests outside the Kingdom of Yingjishi and dozens of other world passages rolled and surged. The turbid primordial qi screamed and rushed to the top of the islands, then made a 90-degree turn and swooped down to the ground.

Black Dragon City has been completely destroyed, revealing a mausoleum deep underground.

The altar made of bones was flashing with a hazy phosphorescent light, madly devouring the surging Primordial Qi. The rolling Primordial Qi was madly compressed by the evil power condensed by the altar, and collapsed into drops of turbid spiritual liquid that were clearly visible to the naked eye.

Xu Fu, Hu Hai, Zhao Gao and Yamatai were wrapped in blood cocoons, floating quietly above the altar.

Strands of turbid spiritual liquid continued to drip and merge into the blood cocoon.

The cocoon shrank and expanded violently, and a dull heartbeat could be heard from inside. Occasionally, a turbid blood light flashed, and the thick blood cocoon suddenly became transparent, revealing four figures madly squirming and changing inside.

These four figures… cannot be called “human figures”.

Like fish, insects, snakes, and all kinds of strange creatures. They were wriggling and changing, and occasionally, in a very short time, they would solidify into human form, and then quickly change into other strange and hideous appearances.

Xing Tianli was suspended in the air, looking vigilantly at the dozens of human figures floating in the void.

Gongsun Zheng, Nanchao You, King Zhou of Shang, Xing Tianhou, Xing Tianjiao, Wu Chan, Wu Shi, Wu Tan, even Renov and a group of his trusted subordinates, as well as Golden Immortal-level powers such as Di Ling, Di Gu, Hammer, and Hai Yan, all arrived here one after another.

A fresh breeze blew.

With a loud ‘splash’, on the sea surface behind Xing Tianli, a giant tree with a diameter of 100 feet and a height of dozens of miles suddenly emerged from the sea. The giant tree was towering, its trunk was like jasper, its leaves were like emerald, and the wind blew past with a fresh and elegant breeze, even with a faint floral scent.

Xing Tianli turned back suddenly.

He saw a clear old man’s face emerging on the trunk of the giant tree. A very thick branch was squirming, like a huge arm, slowly extending forward. On the palm, a pretty and fresh girl in a white dress stood proudly. Sophie, Marceau, and dozens of men and women from the Secret Whisper Forest that Xing Tianli knew were all standing on the huge branch.

Xing Tianli’s pupils condensed.

The Golden Immortal’s soul vibrated, and the power of the soul quickly swept over the girl in the white dress.

“Damn thing!” The Golden Immortal’s immortal soul has undergone a transformation and has acquired the charm of ‘golden immortality’. The connection between the Golden Immortal’s immortal soul and the heaven, earth and universe has become increasingly close. Any Golden Immortal can possess many magical ‘instincts’.

For example, when Xing Tianli’s gaze fell on these people and his immortal soul power swept over the girl in the white dress, he discovered with mixed feelings of shock and anger that Maso, who had been cursed by him and whom he thought he had subdued by force, was actually just a clone of the girl in the white dress.

Xing Tianli gritted his teeth angrily, and a divination spell appeared in the “Original Witch Sutra”. He tucked his hands into his sleeves, changed the magic seals with his ten fingers, and recited the witch spell silently. He was going to use the witch spell he implanted into Maso’s body as the cause to forcibly calculate the “result” of the origin of the girl in white dress, that is, Maso herself.

But somewhere in the dark, an extremely powerful force protected the girl in the white dress.

No matter how hard Xing Tianli tried, he could only be sure that the girl in white dress was the real Maso, and Maso was an incarnation condensed by her using some strange method – but this incarnation was very different from the incarnations of Taoism, witchcraft, Buddhism, and even the demon sect.

The original body is the original body, and the clone is the clone. Although the original body and the clone are closely connected, they can also be seen as two completely independent individuals…

The relationship between the girl in the white dress and Marceau is more like – Marceau is the ‘offspring body’ ‘planted’ by the girl in the white dress using part of her own essence?
The girl in the white dress is a seed.

Maso, is it a new fruit?

What a mess… Xing Tianli’s body trembled slightly, and a trace of blood oozed out from the corner of his mouth. He forcedly activated the spell and prayed, and forcedly deduced the strange relationship between the girl in the white dress and Maso. Unintentionally, he had been backfired – the power that protected the girl in the white dress was of a very high level, far beyond the Golden Immortal!
Xing Tianli stared at the girl in the white dress deeply.

The girl smiled and blinked at Xing Tianli. Her face was extremely delicate, slender, exquisite and perfect, like a piece of jade-carved cicada wing. Under the golden-red sunlight, it was faintly glowing.

She took a step back, came to Maso, grabbed Maso’s arm, raised it gently, and shook it towards Xing Tianli with a hint of provocation.

Xing Tianli’s eyes turned cold, and he was about to speak when several men from the Wu clan, with bare upper bodies, wearing animal skin skirts around their waists and carrying heavy shields, axes, longbows, and spears on their backs, strode out from behind the girl.

These Wu clan men and the girl muttered a few words, crouched slightly, and then suddenly jumped up, drawing a huge arc with a “bang bang” sound, like stones hit by a catapult, and suddenly rushed to Xing Tianhuo, Xing Tianjiao and Nanchaoyou.

Several men bowed to Xing Tianhuo and Xing Tianjiao, then came to Nanchaoyou and whispered a few words to him.

Xing Tianli heard clearly that several men from the Xingtian clan, Xiangliu clan and Houyi clan told the origin of the girl in the white dress – she was a “righteous woman” from Xinmu Shenzhou, who admired the Wu clan and traveled hundreds of millions of miles from a foreign land to join him. She was willing to cooperate with the Wu clan to fight against the crazy invasion of the Saint Ross Empire and Maria!
Xing Tianli was stunned.

Is there any other explanation like this?

Do you know that the so-called ‘foreign land’ they call is not this world at all… Although I don’t know what these women want to do, judging from their previous actions, they are definitely not good people!

But before Xing Tianli could speak, Nan Chaoyou had already raised his eyebrows, his eyes gleaming with light, and nodded with satisfaction: “It can be seen that our Great Xia is respected by all quarters, and our virtues match the heaven and earth. These children from foreign lands have come thousands of miles to sincerely serve us… It can be seen that the destiny of heaven and earth, the orthodoxy of Shenzhou, is in our Great Xia, and this is absolutely correct!”

Nanchaoyou said this, and Xingtianhou and Xingtianjiao smiled and nodded, agreeing with him.

Gongsun Zheng curled his lips fiercely and snorted coldly. King Zhou of Shang squinted his eyes, and held the handle of the sword at his waist with his right hand, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time and fight against Nanchao You on the spot.

The atmosphere at the scene was getting weirder. A cold wind blew in front of them, and wisps of gray fog rose. A tall, skinny old man slowly walked in the air. His entire body was exposed, and his skin was grayish white. There were many places where the skin and flesh were missing, revealing the yellow, lifeless bones inside, and the black and red, shriveled and dull internal organs without any vitality.

On the earth, countless flesh and blood creatures were slaughtered, and their blood, flesh and essence were turning into strands of blood rising into the sky. Some of the blood strands were converging towards the approaching old man, and continuously merging into his body.

With every step he took, the old man’s breath became stronger, and his lifeless body regained a little vitality.

By the time he was less than a mile away from the crowd, the old man’s dark red, shriveled and withered internal organs had become mostly plump, and the color had become as bright and rosy as the liver of a freshly slaughtered fat pig.

His withered, lifeless bones were faintly covered with a layer of bright light, and the withered yellow turned into milky yellow, looking much more pleasing to the eye.

Near the broken flesh, wisps of deathly energy were constantly conflicted by the majestic vitality, struggling and squirming bit by bit, like countless sticky maggots, slowly crawling out from the gaps in his flesh, and blending into the cold wind outside along with mournful wails.

Then, some tender buds began to grow on the skin and flesh, just like the skin of rotten wood, which gradually became fresh and beautiful. The facial features of this old guy also became fuller little by little, and gradually he had the appearance of a living person.

Slowly, step by step, he walked over.

The old man stood still a hundred feet away from the others, his eyes flashing with dark green light. He looked around greedily, his skinny lips with dry dandruff moving slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: “Although… it’s not… Chixian… Jiuzhou… it can also be regarded as… our… second… hometown!”

After mumbling a few words with great difficulty, the old man’s speech gradually became fluent.

His eyes were as sharp as knives, scanning Gongsun Zheng, Nanchao You and King Zhou of Shang one by one with great depth. His eyes only scanned the three of them, as if among so many people present, only these three were worthy of his attention.

Nodding slowly, the old man murmured, “How can I be so worthy as to have the three descendants of the Emperor of Man come to greet me personally? Hey, which lineage of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are you from?”

Dozens of electronic eyes on Wu Chan’s huge head flashed with ferocious light. He waved his huge metal arm and roared, “Old man, in your eyes, only these descendants of the Queen are there? How come you can’t see us?”

The old man turned his head slightly and glanced at Wu Chan with great contempt.

Silently and without a trace, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded in Wu Chan’s chest.

There was a dull ‘bang’ and lightning flashed. The thunder was not loud, probably about the sound of a seven or eight-year-old child swinging a drumstick and hitting a three-foot cowhide drum.

Wu Chan groaned, and the thick armor plate on his chest exploded. Countless metal fragments were instantly transformed into red iron slurry by Wu Lei’s power, like a volcanic eruption, and the high-temperature molten iron splashed for miles.

Wu Chan was blown backwards, groaning as he flew dozens of miles away, and crashed head-on into a huge reef that protruded out of the sea, smashing the reef, which was hundreds of acres in radius, into pieces. Only then did he manage to steady himself with great difficulty.

“Damn you old fellow, how dare you launch a sneak attack?” Wu Chan cursed angrily. His huge metal body, several meters tall, expanded wildly. Countless mechanical components gushed out of his body like a tide. Along with the sound of metal collisions, Wu Chan turned into a metal platform with a diameter of thirty miles in just three or five breaths, like a dark cloud hanging high between the sea and the sky.

Xing Tianli and others retreated several miles in silence.

This old man looked strange and terrifying, his aura was evil and twisted, and his methods were even more treacherous and unpredictable. Even Xing Tianli didn’t notice the witch lightning just now. How did this old man attack so silently?

This witch thunder is very simple in nature. It is the most common witch thunder method. It fuses the witch power with one’s own essence and blood, and releases the power of the five internal organs in the body. In the ‘small world inside the body’, the acquired five elements witch thunder method is born.

This thunder technique is not very sophisticated. It is considered the most basic thunder technique among the many magical powers of witchcraft.

However, this old man has already interpreted this ordinary witch thunder to a miraculous level… Even with Xing Tianli’s current ability, he can’t figure out how he made the move, which is a bit scary.

Well, Wu Chan is stubborn, why don’t we let him give it a try?
This is not to slander him. This guy is really stubborn. His entire head has been transformed into a metal lump by himself!

As Xing Tianli retreated, he glanced at the old guys like Gongsun Zheng.

As a result, he saw a group of old guys including Gongsun Zheng, Nan Chao You, King Zhou of Shang, etc., all of whom had such unscrupulous expressions on their faces, so unscrupulous that it was natural and nonchalant – when they found that Xing Tianli was secretly looking at them, Gongsun Zheng and others smiled at Xing Tianli.

Xing Tianli also understood what he meant and smiled slightly.

Then, Xing Tianli’s smile suddenly froze – Ah, how could I become as unscrupulous and sinister as these old guys? I am in my prime, and my age in two lifetimes combined is less than 200 years old, how could I become as sinister as them?
Wu Chan’s whole body was surging with electric arcs like a giant dragon. On his huge metal body, ferocious turrets suddenly poked their heads out, and the thick muzzles of the guns locked onto the old man’s body. Along with huge cannon sounds, solid shells, powerful high-energy rays, and all kinds of strange and bizarre particle torrents and other high-energy attacks, they rushed towards the old man frantically.

The old man narrowed his eyes and slowly raised his hands.

He said softly, “Unorthodox methods, petty tricks… Tsk, what kind of despicable tricks are these? Hey! Earth, five elements, reverse, shock, sink, annihilate!”

In front of the old man, there was gray fog lingering. The thick gray fog condensed into a wall that stretched for hundreds of miles, easily resisting Wu Chan’s all-out attack. His spell sounded “buzzing”, as if the whole world was responding to his spell. In all directions, within a radius of a thousand miles, the entire void was slowly vibrating with the sound of his spell.

Wu Chan poured out his firepower madly.

Countless shells, countless streams of light, and countless strange and bizarre energy torrents poured onto the gray mist, just like buckets of salt poured into the deep sea without splashing any waves.

Instead, as the old man chanted, obscure khaki lines quietly grew and slowly spread across Wuchan’s huge metal body. The heavy metal structure gradually turned into rock and mud, and the internal energy circuits, many pipes, gears, connecting rods and other mechanical structures all lost their functions.

There was a constant sound of “cracking”. Large chunks of metal parts on Wu Chan’s body turned into rocks, turned into mud, became lifeless, and fell off his body one after another.

The old man recited the spell slowly, and as Wu Chan roared with a mixture of shock and anger, most of his body collapsed. Huge rocks and hills of soil fell into the sea, causing large ripples on the sea surface below.

The witch screamed strangely, and his body shook. His mutated body collapsed and fell off. Large pieces of plasma flowed on his body, and thick hexagonal steel plates flew out of his body, quickly forming a huge witch formation around him that corresponded to the stars on the sky. Countless electric lights flowed between hundreds of thousands of huge steel plates, and the strange force field quickly isolated the old man’s strange witch curse power.

“Old man, you deserve to die.” Wu Chan hissed, “You are practicing the ancient witchcraft, the witchcraft of the mountains and seas. Hey, in the ancient times, this was the method used by the great witches to travel the world, dredge water veins, fill swamps, and turn natural disasters into fertile fields.”

With the sound of “hissing”, faint ripples could be seen with the naked eye, frantically washing away the magic formation set up by Wu Chan. Mountains, swamps, seas, rivers and other strange mountain and sea images continued to surge on the edge of the magic formation. The huge magic formation was slightly shaken by the impact, but Wu Chan, who had just been put in a terrible state, had already stabilized his position.

The sound of metal colliding was endless, and countless mechanical components poured out of Wu Chan’s body like a tide. His body expanded rapidly, and in an instant it turned into a small metal planet with a diameter of two hundred miles, and rushed up to the sky a hundred miles above the ground.

Hundreds of thousands of thick steel plates were suspended in the void, and electric light surged in the witch formation with an astonishing momentum.

In the middle of Wu Chan’s body, a huge steel plate slowly moved away, and a giant gun muzzle with a diameter of ten miles emerged. A dim light came from the muzzle, and a terrifying pressure that made Xing Tianli feel suffocated spread out, causing the old man’s stiff face to twitch and spasm.

“Then I will play for real. Hey, try my ‘Zhu Xian Cannon’?”
