The disparity between the two could be explained by the nightmare realm. Sheyan was still a contestant at the lowest rung, while Guarba was an Awakener at his prime! The disparity between the two was like two gigantic tiers. Bluntly speaking, it was a disparity that could be crushed with a finger!
Therefore, Guarba didn't place this vexing ant ant in his heart. It was like a famished person paying more attention to a hamburger than an ant on the ground. His head was spinning, and his breath was scorching hot. His entire being was in a frenzy, and he urgently needed fresh blood to extinguish the flames in his heart!
Hence, Guarba raised his hand with razor-sharp fingernails, and was about to forcefully claw at the Gundazan. Yet at this moment, a resounding boom boomed from behind him. Guarba instantly felt a searing pain as he furiously spun around, only to discover a weapon in the hand of that ant. Green fumes were curling up from the weapon's mouth.
Guarba roared furiously and pounced towards that ant. In this instant, his face triumphed over his dignity, and he felt his dignity being challenged!
Both parties violently collided, but the outcome left one flabbergasted. Both were sent flying!
Sheyan's saber plunged into Guarba's abdomen, as a viscous yellowish green fluid gushed out. Instead, Guarba slapped Sheyan's face. In that instant, Sheyan felt as though his neck was about to be fractured by Guarba's ferocious strength. Still, he coughed out blood and crawled up.
"How is this possible??" Guarba suddenly felt an ominous premonition. "How is this possible???!!! I must've been careless! "
Hence, that ominous premonition was instantly drowned out by a torrential fury! Gu Erda panted heavily, as he once again charged towards Sheyan who was sent flying!!
Instead, the result of this collision was Guarba being sent flying! Sheyan remained unaffected, and merely sneered at Guarba.
Sheyan stood in front of him and looked down at this powerful Sun subtribe shaman from a commanding position. His eyes leaked out a sorrowful and mocking gaze.
"High priest Guarba? Don't tell me you still don't know what happened to you? "
Guarba strenuously crawled up from the ground.
"You ant, what can happen to me?"
Sheyan lowered his eyelids and calmly replied.
"Look at your right hand."
Guarba chuckled heartily. This diversion tactic was something he had played too many times. Yet this ant before him actually dared to play tricks in front of him? He was on high alert, obviously thinking that Sheyan was trying to trick him. But when he saw that Sheyan didn't make the slightest move, he couldn't help but look at his right hand. With one look, an indescribable chill ran down his spine.
As it turns out, Guarba's right hand was currently strangely distorted, before dissolving like wax. It wasn't just his skin and flesh, but even the ghastly white bones within! Witnessing such a horrifying sight, Guarba roared in fury and was about to retort. Instead, Sheyan had already seized the opportunity of Guarba's momentary distraction to dash in front of Guarba …... raising his saber and slashing down! 7 West viciously chopped down with a mournful deep-blue radiance!
With his shoulder slashed, Guarba repeatedly retreated as he bellowed furiously. However, as he retreated, his entire body seemed to be dissolving, as copious amounts of yellowish green liquid gushed out from his body. Every step he retreated, he would leave a deep and viscous footprint on the ground.
Sheyan took a deep breath and calmly replied.
"Don't tell me you still don't know what happened? Guarba? The Gundazan of the Coiled Serpent subtribe has already retracted the blessings of the Coiled Serpent Deity. The power of the 'Stairway of the Sun' that you couldn't control in the past, has once again spiraled out of control! "
"What nonsense are you spouting!!" Guarba's face was already rotting to the bone, yet he still roared in disbelief.
Sheyan sighed and shook his head.
"What a pity. Didn't you hear the furious roars of the Gundazan? He has already activated the Coiled Serpent Deity to strip you of your powers. "
Guarba howled madly.
"Impossible! I've never heard of that mechanism apart from activating the shrine. How could that imposter who doesn't even possess a Silver bloodline trigger the intervention of a deity? Moreover, this shrine has been constructed for thousands of years. Any mechanism should've been spoiled long ago! "
"That mechanism isn't spoiled." Sheyan mercilessly replied. "It activated immediately after coming in contact with the blood of the Gundazan. Only, the pitiful Gundazan's patience was truly lacking. Thus, the activation process of the mechanism was slightly delayed."
Sheyan was currently lying prone on the ground, pretending to be dead. He was relatively close to the Coiled Serpent Deity statue, and thus, he could sense it rising by roughly 5 centimetres after the Coiled Serpent Deity statue was activated by the blood. A row of matchstick-sized holes could be seen on the statue's pedestal, where a faint colorless gas was ejecting out from those holes.
That gas didn't have any color, yet it emitted a faint fishy odour. However, the odour couldn't be smelled after diffusing further into the air. Instead, Sheyan quickly realized that the color of the surrounding rocks had changed slightly. Not only that, a unique black moss that grew in the shadows of the pedestal had rapidly withered away.
In the present world, Sheyan understood one thing – Mosses were a rather unique existence. They were the product of plants migrating from water to land. The structure of their stems and leaves was exceedingly simple, usually consisting of a single cell layer. Mosses didn't possess any conductive tissue, nor did they possess true roots. Instead, they possessed single cell or single row of rhizomes. Moreover, these rhizomes were mainly fixed and could only absorb a small amount of water. Thus, mosses could directly absorb nutrients and contaminants from the air. Moreover, the average concentration of contaminants in their cells was higher than other higher grade plants.
Therefore, the majority of mosses were relatively sensitive creatures. As long as there was a tiny speck of contaminant in the air, other plants would be fine, but they would easily be affected and killed. Therefore, in the present world, mosses would often be used to detect contamination. Once the mosses withered away, it would signify that the area was contaminated.
In the past, there was a chieftain of the Coiled Serpent tribe who was exceedingly knowledgeable about the habits of plants. After painstaking contemplation, he laid out a layout near the sacred land of the Ndipaya tribe, and planted a type of black moss. This type of moss was extremely sensitive to certain unique substances. Even if the concentration of this substance in the air was extremely low, it would rapidly wither away.
From the tiny hole beneath the Coiled Serpent statue, this unique substance was ejected out!
As the black moss rapidly withered away, the withered moss transformed into dust and dissipated into the air, activating another mechanism laid out by the chieftain. A substance similar to white phosphorus that would ignite upon contact with the air was no longer covered by the black moss. Upon contact with the air, it transformed into a raging inferno. Following that, a series of chain reactions occurred, before finally triggering the final mechanism.
The so-called power of 'retrieving the Coiled Serpent Deity' seemed exceedingly mysterious. Yet to Sheyan who had grasped modern science, it was merely a gimmick.
That chieftain knew that consuming the 'Stairway of the Sun' would result in certain fatal weaknesses that ordinary people didn't possess. Just like how an ordinary person would only drink water after consuming too much sugar, a diabetic who consumed too much sugar would directly result in ketone poisoning and angina pectoris. It was no different from consuming poison. Hence, he formulated a targeted mechanism.
The final mechanism was to release a unique wave of infrasound waves, or incinerate certain substances to release colorless and odorless gases and powders. This would activate the latent dangers of consuming the 'Stairway of the Sun'! Naturally, it would cover one's actions with a veil of mystery.
At present, the sky had unknowingly turned gloomy. Dark clouds rolled in from the horizon, as though a downpour was imminent.
The rotting of Guarba's body accelerated. Especially with the parasitic body of that great evil eye, it was no different from a half-melted candle. He slumped limply to the ground. Initially, he was still emitting mournful screams due to losing control of his genes. Presently, he had lost the strength to even speak, not to mention resisting. Sheyan only needed to lightly slash, and eliminate this incomparably formidable brat!
At present, Sheyan was impatient to deliver the finishing blow. Instead, he suddenly noticed the Gundazan sprawled on the ground. An intense sorrow and sorrow welled up in his heart. Thinking back to the journey here, it was really vivid in his mind.
If not for Mbenga's assistance, he definitely wouldn't have reached this step. Yet, this man who bore such intense sorrow and stubborn wrath, had ultimately perished from this world. That Mbenga who revealed a mouthful of pearly white teeth when he smiled, that Mbenga who only knew how to giggle foolishly, that Mbenga who didn't fear any danger, had ultimately fallen in the hands of his foe!!!
His wish, his wish to slay Guarba, a wish that he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his life and soul to achieve. Yet, even after igniting all his soul energy, he ultimately failed to accomplish it!!
Sheyan took a deep breath, as a thought emerged from the depths of his heart. Burning ferociously, it couldn't be quenched!
Sheyan gently removed '+ 7 West' from Guarba's neck, and shook his head forcefully.
Humans, can't always live for the sake of benefits.
A true man has to do, and some things he shouldn't do!
