Chapter 225: The Heavenly Monarch Descends
In a trance, I seemed to be in the empty room in the depths of my soul, surrounded by various murals about my own experiences, and the huge bronze coffin in the room that sealed the Dark Spirit King......
I was suspended in the air and did not hit the ground. A large, familiar evil coercion emanated from the bronze coffin, and then a purple-black gas spilled out of the crack in the coffin lid and flew towards me. Two dark purple clusters of light flickered through the mist, the eyes of the Dark Spirit King.
"You're here...... I'm so sad...... Tsk, your pain is like a flame. How about it, give me the soul, give me freedom, I give you the power you want, and you can kill everyone you want here in an instant...... What do you think? I just want your soul and freedom ......"
The cold and violent voice of the Dark Spirit King sounded in my head, and it was like a whisper in my ear, tempting me.
At this moment, I only feel the grief in my heart, and my willpower has decreased a lot. There seems to be a voice in my heart constantly urging me to accept the conditions of the Dark Spirit King, gain unimaginable power, kill all the demons in this cave to avenge Kewei, and maybe let the Xiangxi Corpse King never have a chance to wake up......
Accept it, accept it......
"I, I ......"
I was just about to say the word "I do" to the purple-black mist that swirled around me, but suddenly the palm of my right hand suddenly changed, and a burning sensation appeared, and the silver light flickered like the brightest star in the night sky. Two strands of silver Tiangang star power suddenly shot out from my palm, intertwining with each other like two silver chains, heading towards the mist that the Dark Spirit King had turned into, and then tying it up all at once!
"Damn...... Tianjun Daoren, it's you again! Damn it......" The purple-black mist conjured up by the Dark Spirit King let out an unwilling roar, and then turned into a puff of purple-black smoke again, struggling hard to escape the silver chains of the power of the Tiangang stars, and quickly returned to the bronze coffin, without a sound.
Obviously, in the midst of extreme anger and grief, my willpower had weakened, so the Dark Spirit King in the bronze coffin felt an opportunity to reappear and tempt me to give up my soul to break its seal. Fortunately, the power of Tiangang Xingchen left in my body by my stepfather Hong Tianjun helped me in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
At this moment, the surrounding scene quickly blurred, the tall room disappeared, and my vision returned to clarity, and my consciousness returned to the real world. I was still standing in the cavern where the bones of the huge Ba Snake were located, and the battle around me was even more fierce, and the demons of the other side and the Gu magicians on our side continued to die.
Kewei ...... Already dead?!
When I came back to my senses from my anger, this was the first thing that came to mind. Although I was no longer as crazy as I was before, the thought that Kewei's innocent smile and delicate face would never be seen again, and that I would no longer hear her call me "stupid", I felt that I had to destroy something to ease the anger in my heart.
"Kill !!"
I roared angrily, and with a wave of my right hand, a sword of martial arts qi and blood suddenly took shape. After clenching it, he rushed forward like crazy, as soon as he saw the shadow of the demon, whether it was the Ten Thousand Souls Sect or the Japanese Onmyoji, he immediately slashed at him, and the Immortal Money Dao Fire bombarded him one after another......
I've forgotten about everything else, just a raging rage. But soon, this anger was extinguished by a basin of cold water on a frightening fact. Because...... In the center of the cave, this huge snake suddenly moved!!
First, a strange sound suddenly sounded in the cave, as if some behemoth moved its body lightly and accidentally hit the cave wall, and then there was a sudden shaking around, and fine gravel fell from the top of the high cave......
This movement shook our hearts.
"Ba Snake...... Resurrected?! The golden snake's voice trembled, with an indelible fear. Obviously, he had just seen what was going on.
The situation in front of us made our hearts feel as if we had fallen into a frozen ice cave in an instant, and the cool air was swishing from our backs. Could it be that all our efforts have been in vain? Uncle Shan and my stepfather haven't had time to rush here, and this Xiangxi corpse king has already woken up!
Is it going to summon all the zombies that have come here to break out of the ground? There are also powerful ancient corpses in the underground grave of ten thousand corpses in Jinjiazhai...... If all the corpses turn into zombies, then unimaginable disasters are about to begin.
While we were still in shock, the snake's huge body continued to change rapidly. The gray-white reticulated substance that had only been concentrated near its cyan head spread rapidly, enveloping the area seven inches above the snake in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, the gray-white ovoid began to shake violently, as if it was about to hatch some peerless beast from it......
The black-haired mandrill that happened to be standing on the head of the snake was also swept into the gray-white web-like substance, and was absorbed the moment it was dragged towards the gray-white oval. The other demons were very fanatical at this time, and their eyes showed a kind of fanatical worship and joy. The people of the two forces, the Japanese Onmyoji and the Nanyang Magician, have different expressions, and the complex meanings are varied.
But for us, the awakening of the Xiangxi Corpse King represents a complete failure. It's over, it's all over.
A feeling of frustration and despair rose from the bottom of our hearts, the corpse king of Xiangxi was resurrected with the help of the snake, and our advance team was isolated and helpless, and there was no power to return to heaven......
"Don't, don't give up, it's not awake yet, Ba Snake Body...... Unable to control stiffness...... I must ask for Kewei!! ”
Just as we were hurrying into despair and despair, an intermittent and steady voice rang out in our heads, just very jerky, and seemed to carry some kind of weird insect hiss.
That's the voice of Ma Xiong's senior! He has not yet been completely assimilated by the thinking of his natal Gu worm, and he still retains some human consciousness, which can be transmitted in our minds!
In such moments, although his voice changed greatly and was intermittently indistinct, we understood the meaning of his words at once.
He's telling us not to give up hope when it's not the final moment. In fact, the Xiangxi Corpse King did not really wake up, but he was able to use the bones of the snake to move unconsciously, and there was no way to manipulate the zombies eroded by it, and the situation did not reach the worst.
What shook me the most was his last sentence. Please, let's go find Kevi. This shows that although Kewei was swallowed by the gray-white oval, he should not be dead yet! Otherwise, if she was really dissolved and devoured like the black-haired mandrill just now, Senior Ma Xiong wouldn't ask us to rescue Kewei.
The Xiangxi Corpse King has not yet been revived, and Kewei is not dead yet!!
These two pieces of news rekindled the flame of hope in my heart. The only three people here who were still awake suddenly stopped being so desperate and looked at the huge snake......
Although the Xiangxi corpse king has not been revived, the bones of the snake that have been parasitized by it for hundreds of years have finally moved. The unimaginably huge body began to spread out in circles as a whole, stretching out the coiled body, revealing the power that truly belonged to the top ancient beasts recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"!
A thick snake with black scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen. It threw its head up and let out a deafening roar from above!
The sound of the snake was not hissing like an ordinary snake at all, but a roar similar to that of some kind of ferocious beast, which was deafening and shook the entire huge cavern violently.
As soon as its body moved, the snake's tail swept towards the cave wall, only to hear a loud boom, and a long and wide crack actually appeared on the originally solid cave stone wall, which spread out in all directions with a click!
Tons of rubble fell and hit the ground, filling the air with smoke and dust, and everything seemed to be blurred by a sandstorm. I even heard screams, presumably some weaker demons who were hit by these falling boulders or accidentally crushed by the huge body of the snake.
The Golden Snake and Ah Hu and I also happened to be within the range of the snake's tail swept by the snake, so at this moment, we can only dodge these huge rubbles first. No matter how powerful the Xuanmen spell is, it is almost useless in the face of these boulders that fall with a large amount of kinetic energy......
And as the snake destroyed some of the cave walls, the interior was revealed. Sure enough, there are layers of corpses of all kinds! There are people, there are animals...... It's weird and varied. At this time, as the stone walls of the cave were shattered, they were all exposed. The outermost layer was still rolling down with the shattered boulders, smashing into the ground and shattering.
These corpses could have all turned into real zombies under the influence of the Xiangxi Corpse King! But at this moment, the Xiangxi Corpse King has not really woken up, and only on the premise that it recovers every once in a while can these corpses temporarily possess some characteristics of zombies, stretching out their claws to scratch the rock wall with a loud sound. Therefore, the rock wall was shattered by the snake, and the pile of the outer layer fell down and shattered, and the opportunity to become a real zombie was lost forever.
Naturally, we would love to see such a scene, and it would be better if this snake that has turned into a zombie can only rely on instinct to move here and destroy it all! In this way, we can be considered to have turned defeat into victory.
In the huge cave, as the snake turned into a zombie and woke up, it became chaotic, and the scene was chaotic.
But when the snake zombie got used to the initial hesitation, things got bad for us again! Because this snake is an ancient fierce beast after all, and it has been parasitized by the Xiangxi Corpse King for hundreds of years, and the breath in its body is already very evil. Although it relies on instinct to act, it can barely distinguish who is friend or foe to it.
Therefore, this huge beast suddenly stopped this indiscriminate destruction and attack, and as soon as the snake body moved, it came in the direction of the three of us. The upper half of the body is tall and erect, more than ten meters tall, and its eyes are a lifeless gray-white, which is not the same as the blood red of ordinary zombies!
Worst! This snake zombie looks like it's going to attack us. We didn't know anything about the habits of this ancient legendary beast, and now we are exhausted, and it is impossible for us to resist. There seemed to be no way but to quickly turn around and flee back towards the passage from which he came.
But if we just run away to save our lives, how can we be worthy of so many brothers who have died, and Kevi, who is not dead and may be somewhere in the body of the snake?
Looking back, it is almost possible to die, and leaving, and there is no way to face your own heart......
Dilemma, this is the truest portrayal of me and the Golden Snake and Ah Hu.
My heart sank, and I shouted, "No! You can't just leave! Even if it is death, it will be here to die. What about the resurrection of the snake? It's just a zombie. Aren't there several golden snakes in the waterhole in front of the gate of your village, what are you afraid of?! ”
The Golden Snake and Ah Hu were infected by my momentum, and they both made up their minds to fight this snake, and it didn't hurt to die in battle!
When we turned around, the gray-white head of the snake had already slammed into us, its mouth wide open, and one fang was several meters long, which could definitely pierce people directly......
But at this moment, I heard a majestic and high-pitched voice in my ears, with an unquestionable grandeur: "Get out of the way! ”
I quickly pushed the golden snake and Ah Hu, and motioned for them to both dodge to the side. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately dodged to the left and right sides, revealing a passage in the middle, facing the big mouth and fangs that the snake was biting......
Because the first time I heard this voice, I knew that it was the voice of my father-in-law, Hong Tianjun! He finally came to the bottom of this treacherous sinkhole with reinforcements, and was about to enter this huge cavern.
A dazzling silver light suddenly lit up, and a silver sharp spear more than three meters long flew from the end of the passage behind him, and the speed was incredibly fast. With a bang, the three of us passed through the middle, headed straight for the snake in front of us, and shot accurately into its open mouth!
This familiar force is...... The power of the stars of Tiangang!!
The silver spear that shot at the snake just now was condensed from this. This power is a unique symbol belonging to Hong Tianjun among the Daomen masters I know so far.
The snake zombie's gaping mouth was shot into the silver spear, and the silver light flashed in its mouth, accompanied by the sound of explosions deep in the body cavity. I think it also caused a lot of damage in its body. The snake let out an angry roar, its mouth closed suddenly, and then it raised its head as if it was about to make a more powerful attack.
Taking this opportunity, the three of us and the Golden Snake Ah Hu had already hid farther away from both sides of the cave, temporarily leaving the attack range of this snake, and at the same time, I also sweated for Hong Tianjun in my heart. Because the place where the snake was about to attack was this passage into the cave, he must have been rushing from here with his men and horses......
Whew!
The snake opened its mouth again, and then suddenly lowered its head and spat out streams of black liquid into the channel, which was the fierce snake venom!!
But from this passage, a disc-shaped thing suddenly flew out, carved with all kinds of complex mysterious runes, which seemed ancient and mysterious, and suddenly grew larger after rushing out of the passage, just enough to resist the black venom water column spewed out by the Naba snake.
Blocked by this disc-shaped luminous object, the snake's jets of venom spat flew in all directions, and the black water droplets that sputtered out were stained on the cave walls and ground, and all the rocks and dirt emitted bursts of green smoke, which melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The poison of the snake is so strong, it can be seen! And this is still a zombie that has been dead for thousands of years, and the poison will be weakened a lot. The real "Classic of Mountains and Seas" contained in the Upper Cuban snake, how powerful it will be is not something that modern people can imagine.
But I have to say, that disc is really powerful. Not only was it not melted by the venom of the snake, but it even went up against the jet of venom and water, constantly approaching the snake.
I only saw it clearly at this time, this disc ...... It was the Tiangang Astrolabe!
Once in the fierce battle with the blood lord on the Nanjing Road in Shanghai, I saw the Tiangang Astrolabe condensed by the starlight spirit body descended by Hong Tianjun with the help of the power of the stars. So as soon as I saw it appear at this time, I knew that this was the legendary "artifact" that was extremely powerful.
And...... This one is fighting against the snake squirting venom, and it is definitely not a condensation of some kind of spiritual power, but an object that actually exists objectively!
Could it be ...... Is this the real Tiangang astrolabe? Stepfather Hong Tianjun this time, is his real body coming in person?
A thought crossed my mind that surprised me.
But according to what the blood lord said, his father-in-law was seriously injured when he was fighting the Blood Spirit King and the Dark Spirit King, and his body could not leave the small white building in Shanghai. If he forced his way out, would he have suffered any harm?
Guessing that Hong Tianjun might be the real body here, a trace of worry flashed in my heart at this time.
The disc that was suspected to be the real Tiangang astrolabe not only pushed back the black poisonous liquid that spit out of the mouth of the snake, but also continued to grow larger and flew forward! In the blink of an eye, it was already the size of a small car, and it smashed the huge head of the snake!
Roar!!!
The snake let out a roar of pain, and was beaten back by the huge force of the Tiangang Astrolabe, and its body tilted its head and slammed into the cave wall next to it, and there was a loud and violent vibration, and countless gravel and dirt fell one after another.
The Tiangang Astrolabe flew back, constantly shrinking towards the entrance of the passage, and then a tall and burly figure stepped out of it, and a thick and powerful arm suddenly stretched out from the shadow of the entrance of the passage and held the Tiangang Astrolabe, which had returned to its normal size. (To be continued.) )
