Chapter 378: Hidden History (Medium)
But Qiao Ximing quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, how can there be 180,000? Before the third trial begins, the remaining trialists of the Vermilion Bird Tower alone are more than 40,000, even if the competition among the other three towers is more intense, there should be about 30,000 people left, so how can it be ...... if there are at least more than 100,000 survivors?"
"Those who have not entered the Heavenly Ladder Trial will become the manufacturing materials of weapons after the third trial is opened!"
Qiao Ximing's face turned pale instantly.
Shen Di's words are not difficult to understand, to put it simply, in the entire civil and martial arts performances, except for those who have entered the Heavenly Ladder Trial, the other Trialists have all died now! 280,000 Trialists, according to the quota of 7,000 Heavenly Ladder Trials, only 28,000 people will survive in the end, not to mention that not all the places of Heavenly Ladder Trials are full.
Ninety percent mortality!
Recalling last year's lunar month, the four big characters of 'civil and military talents' hanging high in the sky of the imperial capital attracted countless geniuses from all regions of the empire to go one after another, but who could have known that this so-called genius selection was actually a huge trap, the purpose was just to create cold-blooded weapons that were not human or corpse!
Such a means, so cruel!
Shen Di's tone did not fluctuate: "280,000 trialists, excluding the last 28,000 survival places, should be more than 250,000 weapons, but there is a certain proportion of loss in the purification of the large array, plus the White Tiger Tower has lost a large part of the materials, so only 180,000 weapons have been formed so far...... But presumably, for today's empire, although these weapons are a little less, they are still the key to saving lives!"
Qiao Ximing heard something unusual from Shen Di's words.
He didn't know that the loss of materials from the White Tiger Tower was actually due to Du Tianli's demonization, but he was more interested in the second half of the Shen Di, about the meaning of the word 'help'.
But before he could ask, Chiyou Phantom suddenly stood up again, and interjected impatiently: "Shendi, don't talk about those useless things, time is running out, you better hurry up and give this kid a body!"
Fill the body!
The tips of Qiao Ximing's ears moved, and a fine light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The chance that Chiyou consciousness said is not ......
“...... Alright, little one, come and sit down in front of me!"
Qiao Ximing did not resist, returned to Shen Di in silence, put Tuoba Yuping aside, and then sat cross-legged.
When he put down Tuoba Jade, a treacherous gaze suddenly flashed in the eyes of the Chiyou Phantom behind him, but Qiao Ximing's attention was on Shen Di and he didn't notice this.
Seeing him sit down, Shen Di slowly spoke: "I guess you have already guessed that Chi You brought you here in order to let you seize the energy of the Four Phases Reincarnation Array for your own use, so as to break through your own shackles. ”
"You're saying that you can give me a phase-level aura infusion?"
"That's right. ”
Qiao Ximing frowned suddenly, unabashedly suspicious, and asked, "In this way, you can clearly control this big array, why are you still trapped here?"
Shen Di seemed to have expected Qiao Ximing to have such doubts, and he didn't get angry, but just sighed.
"Little one, you're a little mistaken. Although I can perform the Aura empowerment for you, it does not mean that I can control the Four Phases Rebirth Array...... All I can do is guide. ”
"Bootstrapping?"
"Yes, guide!" A wave of resentment suddenly appeared in the whirlpool of Shen Di's eyes: "For two hundred years, Wu Xiuwen has trapped me here, not to imprison me, but to use me to complete his tools for making living corpses!"
Living corpse, Qiao Ximing thought about it, and then reacted to the 180,000 'living corpse' weapon he was referring to. Then he thought of the two hundred years that Shen Tu had said, and suddenly a thought flashed in his heart, as if he realized something.
"I'm in a special position right now, you should be able to see it, right?"
Hearing Shen Di's question, Qiao Ximing immediately suppressed the other thoughts in his heart, thought for a while, and then frowned: "Array heart?"
"Hehe, it's the heart of the formation!" Shen Tu's sneer was full of self-deprecation: "The Four Phases Reincarnation Great Array is a formation made by borrowing from the Wu Clan's exercises, and it is impossible to urge those wine bags and rice bags under Wu Xiuwen's command alone, so he suppressed me here, the purpose is to make me the heart of this formation, so that my witch power can be fused with the big array, so that this array can be activated!"
Chiyou Phantom suddenly sighed beside him: "This big array sucks your vitality day and night, so that you can have that ability to purify, the pain of formation cannibalization is a thousand times more than a thousand cuts, and you can still survive for two hundred years...... Presumably Yu Lei was not able to persevere, so he was devoured by you, right?"
Hearing this, the gods were silent.
Qiao Ximing was listening, but he was secretly frightened in his heart.
The pain of a thousand cuts is already terrifying, and the Shen Tu who is in the heart of the great array has endured a thousand times more pain, and has persevered for two hundred years, if this is placed on ordinary people, it is simply unthinkable!
"Hey, but after you give this kid a chance, this big array should also disintegrate, and when the time comes, you will be able to be free!"
Shen Tu glanced at Chi You Phantom, and then his gaze returned to Qiao Ximing.
"As the heart of this great array, all my energy will pass through my body and then reverse out. It can be said that I am equivalent to the transformer of this great array. His tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear a trace of pain: "The transformed energy will be scattered throughout the Great Array for storage, and it stands to reason that I don't have the power to distribute them, but the purpose of the establishment of this Great Array is to instill, and you are one of the trialists this time, so I can guide those spiritual energy that was supposed to be transported to the four heavenly ladders to enter your body first, so that you can receive the infusion first." ”
Qiao Ximing thought about it and didn't find a loophole in Shen Di's words, but he still felt that something was wrong.
At this time, Shen Tu spoke again: "However, my guidance time is limited, so I can only hold on until the end of the Heavenly Ladder Trial, once the trial is over, the formation will forcibly transfer all the spiritual energy directly to the four Heavenly Ladders for the surviving trialists, and at that time, you will no longer be able to absorb any spiritual energy." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Ximing raised his eyebrows.
When he fell into the abyss, sixteen hours had passed since the Ladder Trial, and with the loss before he met the Divine Spirit, there should be less than eight hours left before the Ladder Trial ended!
No wonder Chi You is so anxious, it turns out that this opportunity has a time limit!
"Don't hesitate, if you miss this aura infusion, it will take at least a few years for you to step into the phase level!"
Qiao Ximing's face changed, and he still didn't agree.
"Boy, don't you want revenge?"
A loud shout made Qiao Ximing shake.
In the past year, he has made a lot of enemies, the Qin family, the Lan family, etc. can be counted as his enemies, but in the final analysis, the biggest enemy in his heart is the one who caused the destruction of the Shangguan family and the loss of Xiaoqian's parents - the Emperor who abandoned the boat, Wu Xiuwen!
The Great Emperor of the Abandoned Boat is the only emperor-level capable person in the empire, if Qiao Ximing really wants to avenge Xiao Qian, what he lacks most is precisely his own cultivation!
"Come on!"
Qiao Ximing made up his mind, finally let down his guard, and waited for the aura of the god to infuse his body.
Shen Di glanced at Qiao Ximing deeply, and the whirlpool of his eyes suddenly spun up.
In the abyss, the four thickest bands of light, red, blue, yellow, and blue, suddenly deformed, twisted from Shen Di's side, stretched towards Qiao Ximing as soon as he turned, and then twisted into a ball in front of him, and under the mixing of the four colors, it turned into a black band and swooped towards Qiao Ximing's chest.
As soon as the black belt square took shape, Qiao Ximing sensed the rich power of the witch path in it, and the bloody and violent aura contained in it far exceeded everything he had seen so far, and his heart immediately felt a terrifying wave churning in the sky.
But when he wanted to regret and dodge, he found that it was too late, and the speed of the black belt couldn't react at all, and a pop penetrated through his body.
"Ahhh
Qiao Ximing let out an earth-shattering roar in an instant, his forehead was covered with green tendons, his eyes were scarlet, his nose and mouth were distorted, and his face instantly became extremely hideous.
After a few moments, his eyes were filled with a layer of black, and then he seemed to be hoarse, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he was silent, and if it weren't for the slight trembling of his body, the whole person would have been like he was dead.
Seeing this scene, a terrifying smile appeared on the face of the ordinary Chiyou phantom.
"Truly, this kid ......"
The indescribable smugness in its tone, as if Qiao Ximing's pain was pleasing, made it pleasing to the eye, but Qiao Ximing, who was already unconscious, couldn't hear its low laughter at all, let alone wonder why it could stay in the space that should have been forbidden for so long.
Shen Tu didn't look at Chi You, but looked at the unconscious girl in red beside Qiao Ximing.
"Is this girl also part of your plan?"
Chi You stopped his laughter, glanced at Tuoba Yu, but shrugged his shoulders: "That's not it, although I want to pull another person down, but what I think about is not this woman, but another Snow Yin Body, but I didn't expect the Snow Yin Body to be unconscious at a critical moment, so I could only change someone at the last moment to exert some influence...... Hehe, thanks to this kid's charm, he not only attracted the body of snow yin, but also attracted the admiration of the body of the fire, which can be regarded as a coincidence!"
"Is it away from the body of fire...... Shen Tu seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded after a while: "Although there are differences, it can be done." ”
In the words of the two, it seemed that they had an unusual arrangement for Tuoba Yu.
Looking at Qiao Ximing again, as the energy in the black belt continued to pour in, patches of blue and black spots gradually began to appear around him, as if he had been poisoned, and he became more and more ugly.
The two witch gods were silent and laughed like this, watching Qiao Ximing continue to turn black.
