Chapter Twenty-Five: The Old Dominator, Madness
Ancient evil, what is it?
Some say they are the last product of the frenzied research of the top Arcane Empire's 10,000-year-old archacist remnants of the power of the Arcane Empire.
Some people say that they are extraterritorial evil gods who have descended on this continent even before the existence of the Feron Hundred Tribes.
Some people say that they are the result of the Goblin Technological Civilization's exploration of the God's authority, the path to eternal life, and the most extreme distortion of nature.
There are even some delusional people who believe that the ancient evil things are the first ancient gods before the birth of civilization......
It's been too long, too long ago, too long ago, and even the oldest and most secret documents of the Elven Sanctuary don't have the specific provenance of these powerful lifeforms.
Or, perhaps, all of the above are the correct answers, because the ancient evil itself is a synonym for a long-aged, twisted evil, referring to a class, regardless of its origin.
In the Wuthering Canyon Donkey Kong Sect, the underground river flooded, and some minerals seemed to seep into it, causing the flowing water to rush like crimson and foul-smelling blood, layer by layer, and finally form a curtain of water sprinkled out.
The closer you get to the bottom, the more strange creatures that are like octopuses, the most "generous" of them manipulate the bones of the warrior monks, like parasitic life in the heart of the warrior monks, you can show strong combat effectiveness, but the number is not many after all, the remaining red octopuses are just going to die and rush forward, even if they die one by one, they still have to forcibly delay the speed of everyone's progress.
While their actions make Amiya, Nasha, Vedru and other adventurous newcomers jealous, they only arouse the vigilance of veterans like Zhu Peng, Mitheus, and Bella, and in a hostile state, the more the opponent doesn't want you to do, the more valuable it is to try it in most cases.
"Rush forward, there is no need to retain physical strength, the main body of the evil thing will inevitably be injured by Elder King Kong, maybe we can solve it directly if we rush in." As he spoke, Mitheus stretched his hands and summoned a tumbling and huge ball of lava fireball, which was half empty and half real as it tumbled through the many octopuses, and a strong smell of seafood wafted through the air.
Transfiguration, summoning, thunder and fire spells, Mitheus has a wide range of cultivation and has reached a certain level of attainment, and his profound background is worthy of being a veteran legendary powerhouse.
Of course, this performance is also a little doubtful, if he had concentrated all his energy on one thing, he would have broken through to a higher realm by now.
Mitheus summoned fire, Bella summoned the wind, and finally the small storm summoned by her condensed seemed to be composed of countless running knife wheels, opening the way with the spells of these two legendary powerhouses, and the group quickly rushed into the main hall of the King Kong Sect, in the process, Zhu Peng blessed Mitheus and Bella with meditation techniques from time to time, and the traditional saying is to fill the blue.
Because of his solid foundation and solid foundation, Zhu Peng really didn't have much effort to learn the low-ring spells of this world, and even many spells from the wizarding world could be used in this world.
Black-gray clouds shrouded in black and gray waters, blood flowed like a waterfall, and translucent men and women with dense bodies stood around the evil and terrifying altar, their silent cries as if calling for the return of the old gods.
These human beings, whether they are men, women, young or old, tall or short, fat or thin, all have one thing in common, that is, they have all lost their eyes, empty eye sockets, mottled blood and tears on their cheeks, but their faces are ecstatic and laughing, which makes people feel weird and abnormal just by looking at them!
In the center of the altar, there was originally an angry-eyed stone Buddha, it seemed to be a certain belief of the warrior monks of the Feilun continent, although the corresponding gods were not born, but under the convergence and blessing of strong willpower, there was still an extremely powerful suppressive power, but at this moment, this angry-eyed stone Buddha was cracked and shattered inch by inch, and the evil and distorted whispers spread around it.
This is an extremely chaotic and evil force field, which can drag the sanity of any orderly creature into the abyss under long-term radiation.
A group of seven people suddenly smashed the huge stone door and broke in, and the translucent ghosts around the altar who were praying feverishly turned their heads sideways at the same time, and Zhu Peng and the others were all shrouded in this sight, and the feeling at that moment was really chilling.
"It's certain to interfere with the ritual, but do you want to smash that stone statue?" Mitheus was a little undecided, so he didn't want to wait for others to help the other party get out.
"It's impossible for that statue to regain its hold...... It's better to smash it and force it out than to struggle it out on its own. Looking at the cracks around the body of the Angry-eyed Stone Buddha, and the faint red glow, Zhu Peng asserted.
"You go straight to that altar, I'm going to shoot the flames. "It's a pity that after the fall of the gods, there is no priest who can easily throw the Holy Light Technique out, otherwise to open such a copy of the ancient evil thing, it would have been necessary to bring the Light Priest, the Holy Light Technique, the Alien Plane Expulsion Technique, the Light Trial, these restraint spells are used to fight the existence of dark evil gods, and the effect is really not too outstanding.
Except for Zhu Peng and Emiya, everyone else chose to attack quickly, Mitheus turned into a giant bear again, the more he ran, the bigger his body became, Bella directly drew two big whirlwinds and rushed towards the stone statue, Nasha, Vedru and even the Moon Zen monk, all of them rushed towards the evil altar with all their spirits, those translucent ghosts were aroused, and they roared and pounced on these people, ghosts are a difficult undead creature to fight, especially with such a large number of them are like a rolling gray-white river composed of an instant.
At the same time, there are also some faceless monks jumping down on the stone walls on all sides, they should also be the last remains of the Vajra Sect, and the number of faceless monks killed by a group of seven people along the way is more than a hundred, not to mention that all the monks should not be corrupted by demons.
At the moment before the two sides collided with each other, under the protection of Emiya's dual-wielding shield sword, Zhu Peng, who had already rotated seven fireballs with red outside and gold inside, suddenly opened his eyes and threw at least twenty test tubes filled with pale golden solution into the air with both hands.
Zhu Peng knew that the turbulent years were about to begin, and the gods were about to fall, so with his prepared nature, how could he not reserve enough holy water?
The value of this thing has increased a hundredfold in the turbulent years and the Sage Holocaust, because with a few less, the temple will no longer be able to produce these unprofitable goods.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time as throwing the holy water bottle with a hidden weapon throwing technique, the seven Flame Sun Explosion Bombs around Zhu Peng's body shot out slightly slower, and before Mitheus, Bella and the others collided with the Ghost River and the Faceless Monk, the Flame Sun Explosion Bomb detonated more than 20 holy water bottles in one go, and the golden red fire rain spread and shrouded the sky in an instant.
First, Zhu Peng uses high-quality holy water reagents, and of course, the price is relatively high.
Second, the environment here is a state of extreme condensation of dark energy, which intensifies the reaction, and the energy of holy water and flame is excited to a relative extreme.
Zhu Peng's spell-casting skills are very skillful, the exploding flames shroud the ghosts and the faceless monk army, but he almost didn't come into contact with everyone on the side, even if he occasionally touched the side, it was nothing, and being teased by these golden flames containing strong positive energy would not hurt anything, but would drive away the evil qi, maybe it would be a good thing.
The ghost has a very high dodge of physical attacks, and its resistance to other spell damage is not weak, but its resistance to the positive energy of the holy light system has always been negative, more than twenty bottles of high-level holy water plus the close-range explosion of the hot sun explosion, the fierce river of ghosts was evaporated almost instantly, even those faceless monks were greatly damaged, and the miserable white solid body quickly dissolved like a wax statue in the fire at this moment, and then was quickly killed by the five people who rushed out of the steaming mist.
As he was about to rush to the front of the statue, the pool of crimson blood in front of the altar of evil suddenly tumbled like boiling water.
Roar roar!
A huge crimson octopus swelled out of it, its huge size, terrifying gaze, and powerful chaotic force field that surrounded it, which quickly reminded people of four words: invincible.
"Hold on, if possible, bypass that big guy and blast the stone statue directly!" While yelling, Zhu Peng deduced which of the spells he had was the most helpful for the situation in front of him. However, after all, the Dragon Vein Warlock level was only one level, and the Flame Sun Explosion just now was already the highest ring spell he had mastered at this time.
And at this time, the blood-colored big octopus had already beaten Mitheus, Yula and others like fleas, as for Yuezen and others...... They are beating each other.
The distorted force field around the blood-colored octopus affected their sanity, and Veddrew only felt that the more he looked at Yuezen, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and slashed at the back of the other's bald head with an axe with a roar.
Yuechan listened to the wind and discerned his body and suddenly turned around like a spinning top to counterattack, but such an excellent reaction made Widru even more angry: "Your skills are obviously so clever, but along the way, you let us die for you and give me death." ”
The Yuechan monk was already ruined, it was the negative emotions in his heart, he was accused for no reason at this moment, and an evil fire was ignited in his heart, he didn't distinguish it, and he fought wildly with Vedru, and the two sides shot more and more ruthlessly and viciously, as if they gradually regarded each other as a mortal enemy who did not share the sky.
Originally, Nasha was still trying to persuade her to fight, but after being injured by the aftermath of both sides, her eyes gradually turned red, and finally turned into a werewolf to join the three-way melee.
Mitheus and Bella played in the front, the three of them played in the back, and Zhu Peng and Emiya were in the back, and the whole audience gradually fell into chaos.
..............................
(Can't win...... So what about retreating to the next best thing and ending up together?) Scanning the underground cave, Zhu Peng's eyes almost had a line of analytical data passing by, length, width, height, and the best stress point, and a large number of calculated data flows. When Zhu Peng was in college, he hung up on advanced mathematics, linear algebra, and probability theory, but now his mental arithmetic speed is almost comparable to that of a large computer.
(After the calculation, the success rate of victory is one percent, and the success rate of the same return is seven layers.) Well, execute. With the change of thoughts in his mind, Zhu Peng began to chant a mantra that amplified the earth method, and as the magic power poured in, a dim yellow halo gradually spread slowly around his body.
Thundered!
Several large stones rolled down from a high place with the chanting of incantations, Mitheus and Bella didn't pay attention at first, just thinking that it was a coincidence or the aftermath of the battle, but with the spread of the dim yellow halo one after another, the entire underground grotto gradually began to shake turbulently, if Mitheus and Bella couldn't react, it would be stupid.
"Sodo, what spell are you casting?"
"Don't be mad, we can win against this big octopus. Mitheus and Bella turned around and yelled in their busy schedules, they gradually determined that the source of the turmoil in the entire grotto was Zhu Peng, and if they had spare strength, they really wanted to go back and knock this madman unconscious.
"It's too late, by the time you win, the ancient evil thing has already broken the seal. Rather than this, it's better to bury it here together......" Zhu Peng's eyes seemed to be flashing with madness, and he urged the earthquake technique more and more hard. If this type of spell is cast on the ground, several legendary archmages may not be able to compare to the power of nature, but if it is cast underground, unless it is a specially reinforced area, it can basically have the effect of four or two thousand catties.
(Sodo, are we going to die here?...... I'm a little scared. Emiya bit her lip, and until now she was guarding Zhu Peng's side to prevent others from stopping her man from casting spells.
The thought of turning around and giving Sodor a sword and escaping herself didn't flash through her mind, but she was all crushed to death by Emia.
The stones on all sides gradually began to fall down like rain, and a huge mountain rock fell, smashing on the body of the blood-colored octopus, the attribute was not restrained, but because the huge equivalent killing effect was quite outstanding, even the stone statue behind it began to spread a circle of blood light to the surroundings, steadily shaking.
However, how could it be easier to build a defense than to destroy the attack, not to mention that at this time it was completely unable to cast spells, and was only suppressing with overflowing power.
(Dead what.) If you fight, you may not die, but if you don't fight, you will die. It's so hard and hard to fight a summon, you expect them to be able to defeat the ancient evil gods? After a while, you go to that stone pit and shrink your body, our storage bag has oxygen concentrator, food and water, even if you are buried alive here, as long as you don't die at that time, I will take you out of the same way. Now, keep me. To further increase the output of mana, Zhu Peng even put part of his physical energy and vitality into the operation of the earthquake spell, at this time Mitheus and Bella were already running back frantically to attack Zhu Peng to interrupt the madman's spell casting.
However, chaos has been teasing since ancient times, and not only the badly injured blood-colored octopus is still pestering them, but even Yuezen, Nasha, and Vedru are also fighting indiscriminately.
The earth cracked, spreading inch by inch, and the faint earth fire even scattered up, and with Zhu Peng pushing forward with one hand, with the cracked stone statue of the evil altar as the center, the earth shook more and more violently.
(Stop!!) )
With this whisper from the bottom of my heart, a strange wave spread around the stone statue, and the whole world seemed to turn gray and white at this moment, and time stood still.
In this monotonous world of black and white, out of the cracked stone statue came a tall and thin being with broken bat wings stretched out on its back, with a tentacle head similar to an octopus, wearing a yellow robe, and its yellow clothes seemed to be the only color in this monotonous world ruled by black and white.
(Blasphemous, kneel, submit to me, and I will forgive you the heavy sins of you.) With the proximity and whispering of the tall and thin existence, Zhu Peng's heart was almost crazy with negative emotions roaring, the strongest of which was a sense of fear, if it was an ordinary person, he would be directly scared to death just this moment.
Corresponding to the great sense of fear welling up in the heart of the recipient is the peaceful aura of the tall and thin body, as if as long as you are under its feet, you can stay away from fear and the negative emotions that are surging like the tide of the sea.
However in tall thin exists...... Or under the oppression of the old rulers, Zhu Peng, who was sweating all over his body, slowly raised his head, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.
"Finally, I forced you bastard out! I'm sorry, if it were some other negative emotion, this intensity, I might really be on my knees here today. But fear...... This is what I have been watching and confronting for many years, Taoism, the ideal pursued itself is to face the greatest despair from ancient times to the present, to become a human being, to become an immortal against the sky, in comparison, you are too far behind!" Suddenly breaking free from the shackles of the black and white world, Zhu Peng's figure rushed forward, and the dark fire fangs on his legs suddenly fell into his hand and held it back, a slash like a quarter moon, Zhu Peng and the old ruler staggered in the black and white silent world, and the next moment, an inclined dark red sword mark appeared on the body of the tall and thin existence at the same time.
(Taoism...... What is that?aa
"Kill the Old Gods' Old Dominator......"
"Extract the target's soul energy...... You have gained 619,000 Kill XP ......"
"The target has divine powers......"
"Drain the target's divine power...... You gain 5 divinity ......"
"The target has divine powers......"
"Drain the target's divine power...... You gain 2 divinity ......"
"Divinity: 28+7, Divinity exceeds 30 points, from Weak Divinity to Weak Divinity, [Weak Divinity] - All Attributes +2!" (It takes 100 points to increase [Medium Divinity].) )
The real world, behind the huge crimson octopus, the stone statue that was originally bubbling with strange blood suddenly collapsed, and the big octopus that was originally wildly waving a large number of tentacles and fighting endlessly, after a moment of confusion, stroked a wound that was smashed by itself with its tentacles.
The next moment, it dived directly back into the deep pool, and I didn't know where to swim, at this time, the original bloody overflowing liquid in the grotto had changed back to the most ordinary state of groundwater at this moment, and it was actually quite clear.
"Sodo, what's wrong with you? Sodo!" Emia hugged the man behind her, and at this time, Mitheus and Bella, who were originally rushing to Zhu Peng's side, also slowed down, because Zhu Peng had stopped using the seismic.
“...... I'm sorry, but I was just controlled by the chaotic force field, and I caused you a lot of trouble. Holding his chest with his palm to gasp slightly, listening to Zhu Peng's explanation, Mitheus and Bella looked at each other and felt that there was nothing to say, now Yuechan, Nasha, and Vedru were still fighting, and it was not easy for Sodo to grit his teeth and carry it by himself.
"Emiya take care of Sodo, I'll go and separate the three guys. Mitheus said as he scurried towards the three who were still in the scuffle.
"Sodo, are you okay? The chaotic force field that shrouded here just now is indeed very powerful, and even I am affected. As she spoke, Bella took out a tree seed from her bosom that was repeatedly wrapped in animal skin, and then she reached out and handed it to Zhu Peng.
Looking at the druid elixir in front of him, which faintly revealed a halo of energy and was obviously in good condition, Zhu Peng didn't stretch out his hand for a while, and he didn't stretch out his hand.
..............................
"The evil things suppressed here should also be on the verge of exhaustion, if Elder King Kong can hold on a little longer, maybe it won't be the Donkey Kong Sect that loses. Mitheus made the final coffin conclusion for the whole thing, and he deduced that Zhu Peng forcibly broke free from the mind control of the ancient evil thing, so that the spell backlash consumed the last bit of qi and blood of the ancient evil thing.
Although his speculation is just a deduction, it is really not much different from the facts, and the only problem is that the seismic technique was subjectively performed by Zhu Peng, and the old ruler wanted to control him with the last force to terminate the seismic technique, but he was slashed by Zhu Peng, who was strong and flawless/prepared in advance.
Since the beginning of the Daomen, countless sages have pursued the gate of immortality one after another, just like a person walking in a long night, never dawning, itself is to do the most desperate thing with the greatest efforts, so the old rulers suppressed Zhu Peng with fear and despair, it really hit the muzzle, Zhu Peng has undergone since childhood, a large part of which is used to combat this fear and despair.
Shattering the cracked stone statue with a withered and shriveled palm sealed in it, Mitheus sealed it and gave it to Bella, who gritted her teeth and accepted it.
This kind of thing represents a huge trouble, but it also represents a huge benefit, once analyzed, God knows what can be obtained from it, so the sharp Bella really can't refuse, in contrast, Mitheus just wants to spend the rest of his life with his daughter-in-law, wife, children, and hot kang head, he can't be interested in what secrets and power are hidden in that withered palm, but he is afraid of the trouble that this thing means.
After dealing with the Ancient Evil Object incident of the Donkey Kong Sect in Wuthering Canyon, the group drilled out in reverse, and did not return directly by giant eagle, but raised a bonfire and planned to camp for a night and rest before leaving.
In the process, Bella and her niece Nasha looked at Zhu Peng like a hungry she-wolf, but Emiya was like a puppy that guarded her man, so that the two drooling druids never found a chance and were helpless.
That night, Zhu Peng was flipping through the spell book in his tent, and Emiya fell asleep in the hammock beside him, this time the adventure mission was too difficult for Emiya, even if it was just to assist all the way, it was also a huge drain on her mind, at this time, a figure outside the tent suddenly approached.
"Senior Brother Soduo, is it convenient for me to come in?"
"Come in, I haven't slept yet. Stand up, cover Emiya with a quilt, cover the girl's exposed pink legs and jade arms, and then Zhu Peng said this.
Then, the handsome little monk Yuechan walked in with a stone box, compared to the muddy nightmare, despair and madness in the grotto, Yuechan at this moment exudes a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, quite a bit of enlightenment, everything is open.
"Senior brother, I have decided to go out on an ascetic journey from tonight, and there are some things that I cannot carry with me, so I want to entrust them to you. As he spoke, the little monk Yuechan pushed the stone box he was holding in his arms in front of Zhu Peng, and then he bent down with his hands together to salute.
“...... If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a very important inheritance of the Donkey Kong Sect, right? You put it in my hands?" Zhu Peng entered the sea of consciousness of the Yue Zen to wake him up, and he knew that the reason why the little guy in front of him was chased and killed all the way seemed to have a lot to do with the things in this stone box, and its value should be very high.
"The Vajra Sect has been passed down to the present, relying on people, not an object, if Yue Chan can learn it in the future, he will ask you to return this Vajra Order, if Yue Chan dies, this thing is better in your hands than in the hands of others. "Life and death, indifferent, either succeed or die on the road to success, at this moment in the Moon Chan, Zhu Peng vaguely saw a Buddhist Zen that is not inferior to the Taoist heart, even if he never liked Buddhism, but Zhu Peng will not look down on the other party, and the Moon Chan in front of him today has some shadow of the great Zen vow.
“...... Are you going to rebuild Donkey Kong Sect?"
"That is Yuechan's home, Yuechan is not dead, so naturally there is no reason not to want his own home. The handsome little monk put his hands together, but he really responded.
“............ Wait, I'll get you something. There was a moment of silence, and then Zhu Peng walked to the side of the tent, he took out a pen and paper, and wrote and drew several boxing sheets in one go.
Zhu Peng doesn't like to owe favors in his life, so he wrote out a set of Buddhist boxing in his memory, hoping to be slightly helpful to Yue Chan, in the turbulent years of asceticism, heard, seen, experienced, must be much more than in ordinary years, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing, that is, a spiritual help, may also be transformed into a spiritual obstacle. Food is a good thing, of course, but eating too much can also swell people to death.
"This is the warrior monk fist technique I found in an underground ruin during my adventure, you choose one of them to use, and discard what doesn't work. 'The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror. Always wipe diligently, don't make dust. With this verse, I wish you and me encouragement. ”
After midnight, the little monk of Yuezen had nothing to look at, he only wore a monk's robe and floated away, accompanied by the bright moon.
