Jiang Lu opened his eyes, regained consciousness, and looked at the tumor in front of him with a complicated expression:
“I was influenced by it and became so lustful!”
At this moment, he didn’t know whether he was lucky or unfortunate. He didn’t expect that the life he was proud of was all influenced by him.
“Ah, that’s not the case.”
The tramp couldn’t help but speak:
“In fact, the origin will only give you unlimited potential. As for this ancient artifact, it gives you two ultimate pure potentials: your fertility and control over desire. Whether it is for you or others, it is a horror beyond dimensions.
But you should look at fertility and desire as two separate parts. Strong fertility does not mean strong sexual desire. Similarly, strong desire can control people’s hearts and minds, and it does not only refer to this aspect.
Look at me, I have been alone for so many years, and I am not like you.”
The tramp’s meaning was very clear – Jiang Lvcheng’s current appearance was his own problem, and he couldn’t blame the antique.
Lucifer heard this and repeatedly confirmed with a serious look on his face: “In other words, his promiscuity was not actually affected by the origin, but he just used his potential in the wrong place?”
“You can’t say it was used wrongly.” The homeless man thought about it and shook his head: “Even if it was used wrongly, he didn’t have to do it himself.”
“How dare you!” Jiang Lu was furious and forcibly changed the subject: “Didn’t you say that you would hand over your origin in order to be freed? I think now is the time! I will answer your question just now. I am sure and absolutely ready.”
The homeless man was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief: “Yes, it’s time.”
“Well, take up the hoe your father gave you and smash my head open.”
The tramp smiled: “Let’s end where we started.”
Jiang Lu was moved for a moment.
Although his words were harsh, he actually wanted to say goodbye in a joking way to this friend, or compatriot, who had always lived in his life trajectory but whom he had never met until today.
“Then I will set you free.”
Jiang Lu raised the hoe high in front of the tramp, just like his father in the past, tirelessly pounding the ground again and again under the tramp’s gaze.
Suddenly, the homeless man remembered something, closed his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth: “Oh, I have another wish, that is, I hope that people will not forget my name, my name is…”
“Ugh!!!”
boom!
With Jiang Lu’s loud shout, the hoe fell down from high.
A pale yellow mist gushed out from the gap in the tramp’s head. Jiang Lu bathed in it, put down his hoe, and looked solemn.
“Are you really free?”
“If I am truly liberated, why can’t I rest in peace…”
Chapter 477 Breaking Through the Wall
“Ah, is it because he didn’t finish what he said just now?”
Hearing Jiang Lu’s mumbling, Lucifer reminded:
“I seemed to hear what he said just now, but only half of it.”
“Did it?” Jiang Lu narrowed his eyes and tried to recall the past: “I was so absorbed in the subject just now that I didn’t pay attention. Is it true?”
“Then there is none.” Lucifer shrugged: “I’m not sure anyway.”
As he was speaking, the pale yellow mist had completely enveloped Jiang Lu. It seemed as if it had life and intelligence, and it madly drilled into every pore of Jiang Lu’s body.
It was clearly an intangible fog, but the moment it approached Jiang Lu’s body, it turned into thousands of thin threads. The process of entering Jiang Lu’s body was like thousands of arrows piercing the heart. Soon, Jiang Lu was pierced like a hedgehog.
But Lucifer, who was outside the fog, couldn’t see the scene inside the fog clearly. After a while, he didn’t hear any movement from Jiang Lu, so he couldn’t help asking: “How is it? What’s the situation now?”
“fine…”
Jiang Lu did not feel any discomfort, but he also did not feel any special changes:
“But I feel a little strange. I don’t feel sick now, but I don’t feel like I’m getting stronger either.”
Jiang Lu recalled the feeling when he was reintegrating those organs that belonged to him that were piled up in the corner. He always felt that the effect of what he was fusing now was even less obvious than that of the much higher-level ancient artifacts.
Or it cannot be said that the effect is not obvious, it is simply that there is no feeling at all.
Just as Jiang Lu was wondering if there was something wrong with the way he opened it, Lucifer outside the mist continued to yell, “Say something, make a sound whether you are dead or alive!”
“I’m talking.” Jiang Lu responded casually.
But in an instant I felt something was wrong.
Can’t Lucifer hear his own voice?
“Hey Hey hey?”
Lucifer is still trying to contact Jiang Lu.
But no matter what Jiang Lu said, Lucifer couldn’t hear a word.
This feeling was not good. It made Jiang Lu feel like he had become a transparent person with no sense of existence.
He thought there must be something strange about the fog, so he subconsciously wanted to stick his head out of the fog to speak, to prevent the fog from blocking his voice again.
But the next second, he found that he couldn’t move at all.
Those fine silk threads locked him in place. Not only his bones and muscles, but even every inch of his skin was fixed with several crisscrossing misty silk threads. He couldn’t break free at all.
Even though only his body was locked up, he could still mobilize the enormous energy in his body, but he did not dare to act rashly. First, he was worried that this would destroy the origin of the ancient artifact. Second, he was afraid that some of the origin had already entered his body. If he acted recklessly, he could not guarantee that he would not suffer backlash.
So he could only watch Lucifer outside getting anxious.
Lucifer was worried that Jiang Lu was in danger and stopped responding to the outside world, but only Jiang Lu knew that he was actually just passively using cold violence against the other party.
He understood everything, he knew it all, he understood it all, but he just didn’t move.
Even Zhang Shiyao, the most gifted magician in history, could not stand the harm caused by cold violence, let alone Lucifer, who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, seemingly arrogant but actually tsundere.
Seeing that Jiang Lu had no response, Lucifer thought about it again and again and decided to try to enter the fog to check.
But as soon as his fingers touched the yellow mist that was like smoke, he felt a sharp pain in an instant. When he withdrew his hand reflexively, he found with horror that his fingertips had turned black and shriveled, and were surrounded by a thick yin energy. Just looking at it was enough to make Lucifer’s eyes hurt.
“It was just a touch…” Lucifer was horrified and quickly took his finger away to avoid looking directly at the evil spirit and causing pain in his eyes. “It was just like when you hold a lit cigarette in your mouth and lower your head, the smoke goes right into your eyes!”
“That’s very lifelike.” Jiang Lu, who was in the fog, felt the same way.
However, Jiang Lu was a little puzzled. Lucifer was burned like that just by touching him, but how come he was not hurt at all when he was completely covered?
Even if it is because I already have one third of the origin in my body, how can I explain it when I was not yet born?
Let’s not discuss the principle behind the choice that the tramp mentioned, but based on what we see now, this origin seems to be like the super divine water in Dragon Ball. If you can survive it, you will become stronger, but if you can’t, you will become like Lucifer.
But the homeless man had to go through a long period of assimilation before he could accept these origins. When he was still in the womb, he directly absorbed one third of them but nothing happened to him. Is this right?
While Jiang Lu was thinking, the cave suddenly began to vibrate.
At first, Jiang Lu thought it was almost over. Just like what was described in all fantasy novels, when a treasure or a powerful person came into the world, it was normal for the earth to shake.
But he soon discovered that this was not the case.
Lucifer, who was busy trying to stabilize his body and observing the surrounding situation, also noticed this.
“What’s going on outside?”
Just as Lucifer finished speaking…
boom! !
The Jiang family compound above the stone cave was completely opened, and a gap leading directly to the stone cave appeared in front of Jiang Lu and Lucifer.
The entire Huangquan Mountain seemed to be split in half, and the stone cave suddenly turned into an open-air square.
It was just dawn and a little light was coming through in the east.
The sun in the underworld was not warm at all, and a cool breeze blew past, causing Lucifer, who was confused, to shiver.
The intuition developed from years of fighting gave Lucifer goosebumps all over his body. He was very sure that a very powerful opponent was standing in front of him.
The muscles in his legs twitched involuntarily, and his fingertips trembled slightly. This most primitive reaction from his body scared even him.
Am I…afraid?
This discovery was somewhat unbelievable to him.
Because he knew that if it was just a strong enemy, even an opponent as strong as God, it would not be worth making him panic, let alone fear.
But at the same time, he also understood why he had such a reaction.
Because he was certain that there was something in front of him based on his intuition, but no matter how he sensed it, the answer he got was the same –
There is nothing in front of me.
But Jiang Lu, who was in the fog, could see it clearly.
At this moment, in the direction where Lucifer instinctively looked, the monster that had been running back and forth tirelessly in the spiritual realm according to Jiang Lu’s life trajectory and had inherited the remaining one-third of the essence, for some reason, seemed to have just woken up from a dream, no longer the idiot that the homeless man had described, and lay on the gap, greedily staring at the yellow mist that enveloped Jiang Lu…
Chapter 478: Big Move Replaced with Basic Attack
Jiang Lu could see that the greed did not come from desire but from instinct.
It’s not like a desperate person’s desire for money, but like a newborn baby’s desire for nutrition to sustain life.
Perhaps the moment the tramp dissipated his origin, it awakened it from its confused chaos. It may not know what the origin is, but it knows that it needs the origin.
Then, the connection derived from blood guided it to directly open the Yellow Springs Mountain and expose the underground palace where the ancient artifacts were buried.
But not everyone can see it like Jiang Lu, not Lucifer, and not the people in Huangquan.
For them, this was just an ordinary working day. Perhaps the only new thing was the grand event held in Yinjing City recently, whose details they did not know. At most, when they saw in the news that representatives from certain worlds had cordial and friendly meetings with the Yin Emperor, everyone sighed that the underworld had improved and stood more upright in the international arena. That was all.
It was just such an ordinary day. Everyone got up early, went to work, went to school, or practiced. Then suddenly, the highest mountain in the city center, Huangquan Mountain, exploded.
“What’s going on? What happened?”
“I don’t know…suddenly…”
For a moment, people on the street stopped and looked toward Huangquan Mountain anxiously. The road became congested. Some vehicles lost control due to the loud noise, causing traffic accidents. There was chaos everywhere.
Although the media also knew nothing about this, they still issued a statement as soon as possible under the instructions from above and tried their best to stabilize the public’s emotions.
Some accomplished civil servants immediately formed an investigation team and rushed to Huangquan Mountain. News helicopters from many different media outlets also rushed to the scene without delay, fearing that the headlines would be snatched away by other media outlets.
