Chapter 314

Ding!

All restrictions bound to the outside of the Soul-Calling Bell were completely lifted.

Then, the reserve spiritual essence bank was activated—the fuel bank of the Doomsday Express was connected, and a torrent of massive spiritual essence poured into it; the eerie silver bell turned into a burning red, vibrating violently.

Visible scarlet ripples bloomed from Ji Jue's hand, spreading, dazzling scarlet, dancing between the mountains. Wherever it passed, specks of phosphorescence rose like a rainstorm from the soil, blood, and bones.

Toward the sky!

Countless residual spirits brushed past the blood rain, heading to places they could not reach each other.

Between heaven and earth, it was suddenly connected by thousands of threads, becoming one.

That was the intersection of blood and spirit.

Supported by the Han Xiang Mirror, Ji Jue's perception expanded wildly, rising from his body, instantly encompassing everything within a hundred kilometers.

Further, expanding again, a thousand miles, reflecting the entire domain covered by the blood rain disaster into his eyes.

The first bell ring.

Within his perception, all dormant residual spirits awakened!

Snap!

A sound like a hallucination of shattering came to Ji Jue's ears; it was the echo of his own soul's turbulence.

But to his surprise, when he used the Soul-Calling Bell with all his might this time, he didn't find it difficult to move as he had in the past, nor was he crushed by the immense weight...

In the hot furnace blood, countless points of light emerged.

That was the 【Undying Embers】 that was about to be completely finished!

Unlike other blessings, as a subtle metamorphosis and passive effect, even if it wasn't completely finished, it was gradually taking effect—at this moment, countless sparks of embers flowed between his flesh and soul, like a layer of armor, carrying over seventy percent of the terrifying pressure for Ji Jue!

Then, the second bell ring!

Ding——

In the black clouds of blood rain, countless eerie phosphorescences suddenly surged, and shrill roars like hallucinations rang out from within, like a tsunami, filling the sky and earth.

Making everyone suddenly stunned and shocked.

The second ring of the Soul-Calling Bell forcibly stimulated the spirituality of all residual spirits, while simultaneously bestowing upon them a ferocious state!

It was hard to imagine that there were so many bones beneath the blood-rain-covered mountains.

Calamity beasts, calamity beasts, calamity beasts, calamity beasts... Over the past few hundred years, in the mountains of the Kunwu Plateau, no one knew how many calamity beasts had slaughtered and devoured each other. Year after year, the residual spirits left behind were as magnificent as the ocean, countless, endless!

The magnificent tide of residual spirits surged back and forth above the sky, turning into a vortex that filled everything!

And in the vortex, one great blight emblem after another was lit up, activated, awakened, filling the natural disaster, encompassing the blood rain.

The Arrogance of Stagnant Rot, the Void of the Abyss, the Madness of the Wild Slaughter, the Severity of the Ghostly Frost, the Distortion of the Tower, the Hunger of the Wolf, the Desolation of the Vortex, the Chaos of the Shadow Sun...

This was a ritual pointing to the vortex, a sacrifice thrown to the great blights, a remaking and smelting of the artisan Ji Jue!

At this moment, everything was so fluid, light, and easy, without any obstruction.

As if it were natural!

In the past, in the Candle-Illumination Style granted to Ji Jue by Yan Jian Yuan, he welcomed the revelation of destiny, the ritual of embers.

But unfortunately, the direction of the ritual had a small deviation, and by accident, it connected to the neighbor of the embers. But it didn't matter; in the programs that the authorities didn't let people watch, Ji Jue had also learned quite a few little bits of knowledge and techniques.

Moreover, besides eating pork, Ji Jue had seen plenty of pigs run. Having personally smashed so many of the Blight-Evil Sect's venues, under the control of full-domain circulation, he had figured out the spiritual essence circulation and blight ritual tracks of the entire Quancheng... After that scourge Lu Changsheng died, in the entire present world, how many people could be more clear about this stuff than him?!

In this segment, if someone wanted to play the great blight game with him, they were truly afraid that they were dying too slowly.

If Ji Jue had prepared many plans before, then the moment the blood rain poured down, he had already won half the battle.

And from the moment Gao Cheng died, the talisman shattered, the blood rain disaster completely spiraled out of control, and no one could snatch the dominance from Ji Jue, the other half of the victory had already been grasped in his hands.

The many probes and shows of weakness besides that were just to lure out all the lurkers in the dark, and then...

Catch them all in one net!

Thus, for the third time, Ji Jue used his left hand, which was gradually losing sensation in the burning, to shake the Soul-Calling Bell!

What rang from his palm was not a crisp low sound, but a roar like a torrent suddenly erupting from the Kunwu mountains—the cracked Soul-Calling Bell suddenly disintegrated and exploded under the endless infusion of spiritual essence and massive weight.

Boom!!!!

Before that, the torrent of destructive fury had already descended from the sky.

Upon detecting Ji Jue, Gao Yue Chen, several kilometers away, had already leaped up, landed, and trampled the earth. The Matrix-Giant overloaded, and a torrent of spiritual essence like a volcanic eruption rose and gathered in his hands.

Mountains collapsed, the earth trembled, and terrifying tremors spread in all directions.

He did not hesitate because of the bluffing posture, nor was he deterred by everything happening at this moment. He used his full strength without hesitation, even more exaggerated than his full strength in the past—

Mountains twisted, clouds shattered, and infinite matter gathered toward his raised hands.

Soil, iron, mud, rain, bones...

Everything in the material realm was pulled by an invisible force, thrown into the vortex, and then, it constituted a super-dense matter that had never existed before.

Compress, compress, compress, compress again!

In the end, amidst the rumbling, it collapsed into a pitch-black spear, aimed from afar at Ji Jue behind the heavy mountains, and was hurled violently! Pure matter constituted pure destruction, absolute stillness created absolute eternity, the essence of the wasteland appeared from within, turning into a blade of destruction that crushed all tangible things!

It easily pierced through one mountain ridge after another, the gale and rainstorm rushing toward him!

Before that, what arrived first was the calamity-poison breath spat out by the Ba Snake's nine heads—lightning, fire, frost, white mist, lava...

One neck after another suddenly stretched out, tangling with each other, forming an eerie posture. Finally, after the ferocious faces of the nine heads were pieced together, they formed an unexpected rotting face, as if half-human and half-fish were pieced together, many features writhing and changing endlessly, eternally hungry, eternally greedy.

Then, the rotting merman face opened its mouth and sucked violently. In an instant, it swallowed all the spiritual essence and pollution within a thousand miles, wanting to completely cut off the entire ritual track.

Making the complex spiritual essence circuits and rituals beneath Ji Jue's feet disintegrate.

When the final bell roar sounded, all anomalies disappeared without a trace, and even the emblems and projections of many great blights, the ferocious residual spirits and calamity beast remnants circulating in the sky, all seemed like hallucinations, suddenly gone.

As if erased from thin air!

It was over.

On the Ba Snake's gigantic body, the Wolf Blight laughed wildly, grinning, but before the smile could appear on his face, it had already been strangled in the cradle.

Hard to breathe.

(Note: Meta-commentary, ignore.)

Heaven and earth were silent.

Everything in the entire world stopped abruptly once again.

It was as if the Bitter Day had been unsheathed again... but this time, there was no splendor or beauty of the Ten Thousand Images of Light, only a suppression and suffocation so thick it made every soul tremble.

The world stagnated here, as if locked in amber. All hatred and resentment were frozen in eternal despair, with no further changes appearing.

But at that moment, scarlet flames surged from Ji Jue's soul and body, erupting violently, illuminating the dim sky and the cracked world.

Using the disaster covering the entire Kunwu as a furnace, the blood rain disaster as a foundation, and the infinite pollution and great blight distortion as flames, the final bit of cruel creation that the embers lacked was completed here.

The Undying Embers appeared from the artisan's soul. In the invisible flame of spiritual essence, the essence of embers and stagnant rot overlapped and intertwined, like a spiral of life and death.

When Ji Jue raised his eyes again, he saw the super-dense spear suspended before his eyes.

His numb left hand stiffly raised, slowly reaching out one finger.

Pointing toward the spear that could crush everything—

Snap!

A crisp sound rang in everyone's ears, and cracks appeared on the spear, followed by disintegration and collapse, without the expected jet of energy.

Only falling ash and dust scattered, like tiny bubbles.

The Ba Snake's breath dissipated inch by inch in front of that palm, as if it had never existed.

And in this frozen world, accompanied by the eerie gathering and operation of the blood rain, torrents like blood vessels crisscrossing heaven and earth gradually took shape, and countless distortions and calamities turned into internal organs and texture, filling them.

In the end, above the sky, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of gigantic blood eyes slowly opened, overlooking everything in the world—

The eerie monster, formless and imageless but filling the entire world, finally revealed its existence.

"Next, please allow me to introduce a friend to you all."

A hoarse voice spread from the darkness. Relying on blight alchemy and the great blight ritual, exceeding his own limits and abilities, Ji Jue imitated his teacher and completed the first pure spiritual essence creation of his life!

"——Its name is... Underworld Sea Worm!"

Boom!!!!

The frozen world disintegrated. Beneath the shattered sky, amidst the infinite blood rain, the disaster that had already been completely erased from this world reappeared!

Using this shattered blood rain disaster as a body, the terrifying calamity beast that had once created the Disaster of No Light rose again from the darkness.

Then, the Ba Snake flew backward!

An eerie giant hand gathered from the blood rain appeared without warning, directly slapping that half-human, half-fish rotting face—

Suddenly, the giant beast, capable of rivaling the mountains, was still frozen in place. Before its hungry consciousness could react, it was already involuntarily lifted into the air and fell to the earth.

But immediately after, when Ji Jue's finger raised again, another hand appeared from the blood rain, constructed, grabbing one of the Ba Snake's necks.

Then, a third hand reached out from the sky, pressing down, grabbing another neck, a fourth hand, a fifth hand... giant hands appeared one after another, like grabbing a chicken's neck, stretching out the struggling Ba Snake, forcing its heads and tails to be fixed.

When the giant hands raised again, five fingers spread, infinite pollution gathered from thin air, turning into a gigantic iron nail, solid alchemy!

Piercing into the head!

So you're the one called Ba Snake?!
