Under the crack in the sky, they could see the fire of the stars descending from the sky.
The earth was shaking.
The darkness behind them was converging like a tsunami, forming an iron wall that was tens of thousands of feet high. It was shrinking inch by inch, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
"Only four hundred people left."
Big Bone was curled up in the shadow of the tall building. He looked at the rapidly falling number on the system panel with a pale face. In just ten minutes, the number had dropped from twelve hundred to four hundred.
The tide of darkness was getting closer and closer. He looked up at his teammates, unable to bear the pressure. "What should we do?"
"Hold it in. Don't move."
Tian Minjing crouched behind the wall, gritted his teeth and replied, "Don't move. We'll die if we move."
Outside, the streets were already in chaos.
When all the ascendants were suppressed by the tide of darkness and had to gather in the central area, the battle inevitably broke out.
No, it should be said that just as everyone thought and expected, the battle began smoothly and normally.
The chaos and danger of the battle were beyond everyone's expectations.
But what was more terrifying than the contestants were the monsters that came out of nowhere.
It was as if he had unintentionally barged into the lair of a man-eating creature. As the thin fog spread, everything became mournful and horrifying. Formless ghosts wandered in the fog, and sharp inhuman screeches kept coming from the sky.
Something was roaring in anger.
Fiery light swept across continuously, burning everything to ashes.
Except for a dozen or so ferocious auras, all the other contestants could only huddle in the corner, guarding their meager trophies and waiting for the tide of calamity to pass.
At least they would not lose everything.
But the abyss did not want their capital. Instead, it generously gave them more blood.
Thick blood gushed out from the bottom of the broken manhole cover like a tidal wave, turning into a torrential rain that sprayed selflessly in all directions. Ugly tentacles grew out from the places where the blood dripped, choosing to devour the people around them.
A large number of lifeless corpses wandered between the blood and the tentacles.
The ministers, nobles, and generals who were still dressed in ancient clothes had now been transformed beyond recognition. Some had snake faces, some had hundred eyes, some had multiple legs, and some had turned into beasts. Some of the behemoths ran, shaking the whole street. Some came and went silently like ghosts.
The only thing they had in common was the thirst in their eyes.
And the desire for the souls of living creatures.
"Beautiful, beautiful …"
The officials who were bathed in blood crawled on the corpses and sucked the blood elegantly as if they were immersed in the joy of the banquet. "Today's wine and dishes are exceptionally delicious."
"Bitter, bitter, dying from a broken carriage, bitter!"
"Save me, Father. Don't send me to be a living sacrifice …"
"I hate you so much, you trash, I hate you so much!"
Hoarse cries and laughter echoed in the dark street.
The entire Yamatai City finally shed its disguise of the past, and the calamities and miracles that had been slumbering in the darkness were awakened. After intensifying, everything quickly turned into a nightmare.
And in the deepest part of the nightmare, a cold howl suddenly rang out.
That was …
The howl of a wolf?
Heaven and Earth froze.
As that distant howl gradually approached, outside the fog, above the blood red sky, a dazzling star fell down, transforming into a pure white giant wolf, landing in front of Ye Xue Ya.
As countless white hairs fluttered in the wind, a holy and dignified aura rose from the body of the white wolf.
The countless tentacles that grew out of the Sun Witch embryo, under the gaze of the white wolf, were cleanly cut into two. The cut was swift and fierce, without any signs of life, turning into ashes in the air.
Ye Xue Ya was stunned for a moment, then began to laugh happily.
"This time, the old man has finally bled a lot …"
She stretched out her hand, and the white wolf soared into the air, transforming into a shell of starlight, breaking apart inch by inch. What replaced it was a white light so dazzling that it was difficult to look straight at, falling into her hand.
A rainbow pierced through the sun.
Such an illusion, suddenly appeared in everyone's consciousness.
"The gentle white wolf, with the Dao, will swim; the talisman has changed, is the spirit hook …"
Following Ye Xue Ya's chanting, this weapon that had followed the Black Bird for a long time burst forth with a frightening aura. The white light condensed, forming a strange long hook.
"Stinking woman, prepare to say goodbye to your past!"
As if it was the flow of fate, the divinity that represented the change of fate was attached to the edge of the long hook. Amidst Ye Xue Ya's laughter, it slashed towards the rotten face of the Sun Witch embryo.
"— Eat my life's rebirth hook!"
Heaven and Earth split apart.
.
.
"A dog barking?"
In the darkness, Huai Shi raised his head in astonishment, looking at the sky shrouded in darkness and thick fog. Immediately after, he heard a tragic howl burst forth.
Like a disfigured woman.
So vicious that it was frightening.
Soon, an endless rain of blood, separated by the dark clouds, splashed down.
The pungent blood carried a strange vitality that permeated through every opening. Wherever it landed, clumps of flesh and blood would immediately grow out of the mud and bricks, choosing to devour the people around them.
Accompanied by the collapse of the jade fence, the main door of the main hall opened with a bang. The eerie sound of the Divine Music Bell and the ghostly singing and dancing spread in all directions.
Under the cold candlelight, the Heavenly Officials with their backs to the door and the Witch dancing in front of the fire all turned their heads, almost turning a hundred and eighty degrees.
On their stiff and pale faces, a pair of blank eyes stared fixedly at the sudden visitor.
The aura that made Huai Shi shudder just now was emitted from their bodies.
At first glance, they looked so handsome, each person's face was flawless, but immediately after, from the deathly paleness that only appeared on corpses, an indescribable abnormality could be felt.
As if pieced together from countless fragments, each perfect face was constantly changing. In the end, even with the naked eye, it was difficult to distinguish whether what one saw was an illusion or something else.
One would only be attracted by the chill that was like a grave, involuntarily wanting to … throw oneself into it.
"Still … not enough … Your offerings, are still not enough …"
Among the mournful screams in the sky, the Heavenly Officials in charge of the ceremony opened their mouths and spoke in a stiff voice, as if they were extremely frightened, but they did not put any emotion into it.
"— — Fury of the Netherworld!!!"
Thus, the Heavenly Officials and Witch assisting in the ceremony screamed in hunger and thirst.
"Shengzhi!"
"Shengzhi!!"
"Shengzhi!!!"
"If you want a promotion, please go to the Human Resources Department, okay?"
Huai Shi, who was hiding behind the Heavenly Officials, shook his head indifferently. "What does this have to do with our cold and heartless Legal Department?"
Boom!
The group of Heavenly Officials did not want to say any more nonsense. With an expression that said, all pirates should die. They raised their briefcases and took the lead to smash them down on the Heavenly Officials in front of them.
In an instant, the Heavenly Officials' robes were torn apart, and a hideous and ugly giant spider broke out of its shell, frantically poking at the Heavenly Officials with its limbs.
Then, one shell after another shattered.
The beautiful skin was torn apart, and the products that had been brewing inside broke out of the shell, bathed in sticky blood, and screeched …
Huai Shi was flabbergasted at the sight of this group of demons holding a meeting.
They had already become like this, but they still wanted to fight for a promotion. Your department was really too ruthless. If they worked harder, they would probably be rated as one of the top 100 companies in Hell!
At the back, Huai Shi only had time to complain before his gaze was attracted by the object enshrined on the Deity Throne …
It seemed to be the remains of some ancient artifact.
The irregularly shaped copper plate was only the size of a palm. Its surface was smooth and flat, as if it had come from a copper mirror. There were also faded patterns on the edges.
The gold that adorned it had already been replaced by bronze rust. It had been through a lot, but the lens looked empty and ethereal. Not only did it not reflect anything, it seemed like a gap in space that led to an unknown place.
Countless rainbows flashed through it, and bubbles appeared and disappeared.
In its reflection, the world was empty.
Now, the broken lens was enshrined on the Deity Throne, and it had already been connected to the entire palace through the sacrifice.
It was continuously absorbing the Origin Substance that was offered by the sacrifice, and it emitted an indescribable glow, forming a membrane that covered the entire palace.
A relic from the border? Or a fragment of the Philosopher's Stone?
Huai Shi couldn't tell.
But one thing he was sure of was that this thing was definitely a good thing!
Just looking at it, there was an indescribable thirst emerging from his heart!
He wanted to get it, to own it, to occupy it, to devour it …
— — Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
The Mountain Ghost Stigmata was so excited that it was about to go crazy. The greedy desire of the same origin made Huai Shi's eyes burn red in an instant.
His gaze was fixed on the copper plate, and he couldn't move it away anymore.
No, he had to find a way to f * ck it.
Huai Shi rubbed his hands crazily, and his heart was ready to commit crimes again. Anyway, the Celestial genealogy was one of his own here. It was only right for him to take his own things.
He didn't even need to pay to go to the kitten paradise!
What's wrong with taking your broken mirror!
This logic was simply too good. En, a little carelessness would cost him his life.
So he had to think twice before he acted.
Taking advantage of the chaotic struggle between the Ministry of Justice and the priests and witches, Huai Shi lurked in the shadows and slowly moved forward.
The specific method was to rely on the talent of the ghost to disappear his body, and then hold the round fan in front of his eyes, and say in his heart, "You can't see me, you can't see me."
Not sure if this ostrich strategy was particularly effective, or if the allies' offensive was too strong, Huai Shi held the increasingly broken round fan and hid in the shadows where the candlelight couldn't reach. He jumped up and down, circled forward, and crept past the edge of the compound several times.
The divine position was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, and the bronze mirror shook as if it was waving at him.
It released a light.
Under the light, Huai Shi couldn't help but bounce out of the shadows.
In his hand, the round fan shook, and flames ignited out of thin air, instantly burning the broken fan into ashes, leaving only the grip in Huai Shi's hand.
It's over …
The whole broken main hall ushered in a suffocating moment.
In the chaotic battle of demons and ghosts, a sneaky teenager holding a bald fan in his hand suddenly jumped out, and he had already touched the front of the divine position …
Aware of the shocked gazes from all directions, Huai Shi turned his head stiffly, and showed an awkward but polite smile.
The next moment, the teenager swung his axe and jumped, splitting open the deformed priest in front of him.
"What are you looking at!"
Huai Shi turned back and roared fiercely at the priests.
"Why aren't you thanking Brother Huai Shi!"
