Chapter Twenty-Three: The Beast
"These are the ...... of the four great divine beasts"
Xuanyin was put down by Lin Xi at this moment.
didn't care about settling accounts with Lin Xi again, and looked at the huge figure standing in this space with a shocked face and couldn't help but say.
Lin Xi found out that it was indeed the Four Great Divine Beasts.
They are the Xuanwu Divine Beast ranked fifth among the top ten divine beasts of the ancients, the Nine-Turn Beast ranked sixth, the Nanli Beast ranked seventh, and the Tongtian Beast ranked tenth.
The four divine beasts stood in the east, west, south, and north directions of this space.
Countless golden rays of light emanated from the bodies of the four great divine beasts, and the golden light spread from the feet of the four great divine beasts to the middle to form a golden magic circle.
It seemed that there was a huge creature in the middle of the seal, and Lin Xi went to carefully observe the fifth huge creature that was sealed by countless golden lights in the middle.
I saw countless huge pitch-black vines entwined with each other in the golden light, and a huge beast head was connected to it at the top.
"Isn't this the statue in the city from before? Lin Xi recalled the statue he saw in Vain City, and because of the peculiar shape, he remembered it very clearly.
"It's not a statue here, it's the real body that is sealed, the second of the top ten fierce beasts in ancient times - the vain beast, the wild history records, the vain beast was once a plant called vain grass, growing in the vain sea.
Grass in vain!
Born at the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, a heaven and earth treasure, its flowers and leaves can be sanctified immediately after eating, so it is also called holy medicine.
Due to the protection of the vain sea, the vain grass cultivates spiritual wisdom.
Later, an inexplicable mutation occurred, and it evolved into the current appearance of the beast's head and plant body.
The Vain Beast has a vast array of vine tentacles, each of which is as strong as black iron, and can recover no matter how much damage it takes. ”
Lin Xi suddenly thought that in the vain life sea, the old woman had said that the soul soup was made of vain grass flowers and leaves, could it be ......
Lin Xi didn't dare to continue thinking about it, and there was a huge stone tablet engraved with the words 'Nai He Island', and the stele was engraved with the depiction of a vain beast.
Lin Xi instantly seemed to understand something.
"And the other four divine beasts that sealed the vain beast are not real bodies, but just statues that condense the huge blood of the deity, and the true body of the Xuanwu Great Venerable is not here......"
Xuanyin seemed to know more, but he wanted to stop talking.
......
Zizi!
......
Suddenly, there was a strange noise!
I saw that there was also a stone tablet engraved with the same inscription on the outside where the two of them had just been teleported.
At this moment, there is a trace of black mist spreading out of the stele, and it will not take long for it to fill the space around the stele.
The black fog gathered together as if it had life, and did not continue to spread, and then the black fog became thicker and thicker, like a black hole.
Devouring all the light, it makes people feel like they are in a dark and dark world at a glance.
Lin Xi and Xuanyin looked at the strange black mist that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but retreat to the side of the Xuanwu Divine Beast stone statue not far away.
The strange black fog seems to have condensed to the limit!
Drops of black liquid kept appearing, and finally all the black mist liquefied into an even more strange black water mass.
...
"Quack!"
...
Suddenly!
A piercing cry sounded, and the breath of Sen Ran spread along with the sound.
The voice just fell.
The black liquid suspended in the air continued to wriggle, and a humanoid creature appeared in an instant.
The body wrapped in black mist could only be seen to have a human form.
The head is born with a single horn, carrying two wings, and the wings are covered by dense scales that exude black mang.
"To thank you two for bringing me here, I will let you witness the awakening of my people's vain emperor. ”
"Quack!"
A hoarse, shrill voice came from the humanoid's mouth.
In the frightened gaze of Lin Xi and the others, the humanoid creature shrouded in black mist seemed to teleport.
Instantly appeared in front of the Vain Beast in the golden sealing light array.
"This is the Spirit Clan, and I have a collection of ancient scrolls that have been lost in ancient times, which records the Spirit Clan, and the Spirit Clan is the origin of the disaster.
In ancient times, the spirit clan suddenly appeared, I don't know where it came from, and its combat power was strong.
The legendary emperors and gods were slaughtered by the spirit clan, and even the emperors, venerables, and saints shed blood.
The exercises practiced by the Spirit Race did not seem to belong to this heaven and earth, and all the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth disappeared wherever they passed, and they were assimilated into black energy that could only be absorbed by the Spirit Race.
Before nightfall, it was this black energy that controlled the skeletons.
If you absorb too much black energy, you will lose your mind at least, and at worst you will be eroded and assimilated by black energy.
Eventually, his body mutated and he became a creature like the Spirit Race, becoming one of them.
In that ancient period, the powerhouses of this realm launched a cross-century war in order to destroy the spirit race.
The Great War lasted for an entire epoch, which came to be known as the Age of the Ancients.
In the end, although the victory was disastrous, the strong people in this realm were almost dead, and the remains of some powerful creatures could be seen everywhere, and the star skeletons were everywhere. ”
Xuanyin muttered as he recalled the ancient scrolls he had seen.
Lin Xi's head was big for a while after hearing this, and he couldn't help but think a lot.
In the past, this world was collectively called the Sky Continent, but after a great war, the continent was divided into four parts, and the current Donghua Continent was born.
Is it also related to this spirit race, and the war with the spirit race has also spread to this realm?
And is this era of the end of the law and the ancient road to heaven also because of the spirit race?
The ancient scrolls also record that the Spirit Race claims to be the Spirit of All Souls, meaning that its status is above all living beings in this heaven and earth.
At that time, there were many powerhouses in this realm, and the sage could be said to have reached the top of the Heavenly Dao, as if he sensed that some kind of catastrophe was about to befall this realm, and the danger was even greater than that of the spirit race. ”
"And then?"
"The scroll is mutilated, and there is no more. ”
The moment Lin Xi and Xuan Yin talked, the humanoid creature that originally rushed towards the vain beast suddenly contracted sharply at this moment.
As if squeezed by this piece of heaven and earth, the originally one-person tall figure shrank to only the size of a palm in a moment.
A terrifying wave also came at this time.
Rumble!
At some point!
After shrinking to the extreme, it began to expand rapidly, and finally erupted like a volcano!
The pitch-black mist rolled up a monstrous black flame and continuously impacted the golden light array, and the black energy wave of the humanoid creature's self-detonation instantly swept through the entire space.
Lin Xi and the two of them hiding behind the basalt statue.
Although the stone statue blocked most of the aftermath, the two of them instantly spurted out a large amount of blood, and their bodies were covered with cracks, and they were only one step away from death.
Click!
The golden light array that originally sealed the vain beast had been corroded by endless years, and cracks appeared in the terrifying self-explosion of the humanoid creature just now.
Click!
And as the black mist continued to erode and impact, the cracks of the golden light array spread rapidly, and in just a few breaths, the entire light array turned into a sky full of energy fragments.
The monstrous black mist seemed to have received some kind of traction, and quickly merged into the body of the vain beast, and with the integration of the black mist.
The vain beast, which was originally lifeless like a stone carving, appeared and grew with a faint fluctuation at this moment.
