Chapter 433

In an instant, under everyone's stunned gaze, the thunderclouds filling the sky were all transformed into silver-white illusory light, using the firmament as a screen, winding and wandering wantonly.

In a flash, it extended for thousands of miles, drawing an extremely graceful arc between the sea and sky, growing endlessly... until it surrounded the entire forbidden zone, closing again from the other side, turning into a perfect circle.

The illusory light was like water, gently rippling.

It was just like the halo atop the head of a legendary angel.

At this moment, it crowned the firmament!

"You bastard surnamed Ji..."

Huang Xu whispered in a daze, his eyes wide, not missing a single trace, searching carefully for the reason why he felt hair-raising and chilled to the bone.

It was unimaginable that his creation would lose control to such an extent in an instant and fall into Ji Jue's hands.

The magnificent scene was secondary; what about the principle? The essence? What was it?

If it were purely for show, why would Ji Jue go to such great lengths to pull this off right under his nose? Was it purely to be a jerk and bark like a dog?

Whether it was being a jerk or barking, it didn't matter.

For an absolute result-oriented person like Ji Jue, it was just using the most familiar inherent path; if it weren't necessary, he wouldn't waste a single thought on irrelevant things.

And then, he saw...

Thousands upon thousands of silver raindrops fell from the halo; countless amounts of mercury fell from the halo above the firmament, one drop after another, weaving into dense threads, connecting to each other, overlapping into a curtain dancing in the wind.

Countless silver threads hung down from the firmament, submerging into the waves, as if reaching straight to the bottom of the deep sea, thus covering the space between heaven and earth.

Shrouding the entire forbidden zone within!

It was as if a lid had been added... but this layer of obstruction was like a dream bubble, so fragile; if not for the millions of micro-adjustments per second, it would likely collapse under its own weight the next moment.

What for?

"Ah, I forgot to mention."

Ji Jue patted his head, remembering belatedly: "Please isolate the key equipment, and also, watch out for the storm."

The storm came howling.

Although one couldn't feel any air movement at all, in one's consciousness and perception, it was as if a violent, howling gale had arrived, raging mightily.

At this very moment, from all twelve directions, an invisible storm gathered from all sides toward the center—to be precise, toward those silver threads that were thin to the point of being outrageous.

Although they were so tiny, they were like black holes, continuously extracting the spiritual quality from the entire sea area, and in the blink of an eye, they drained all the spiritual quality outside the forbidden zone.

Accompanied by the non-stop Northern Territory clapper talk in Huang Xu's mouth, sparks flew continuously on the Dragon Skeleton Fleet. After suddenly entering an environment of extreme spiritual poverty, many pieces of equipment experienced delays and malfunctions.

But after surviving this wave, Huang Xu's orders still didn't stop; instead, they became even more anxious and violent, as if he had heard the roar of the tide howling from afar.

A tidal wave of spiritual quality!

Under the endless suction of the Crown of Isis, after the spiritual quality vacuum of the entire sea area, it would naturally, like a change in air pressure, pull in spiritual quality from other regions to fill the void.

After the instantaneous vacuum, what gathered from all sides was a true spiritual quality storm!

But no matter how much spiritual quality came howling, it would disappear into that dream light, swallowing the incoming spiritual quality endlessly like a true black hole, handing it over to the wind blowing from the main wound, pulling those rushing spiritual qualities into a dragon spring that reached the sky and the port.

Countless illusory lights dug and dragged, merging into the tornado, illuminating the entire world into a colorful, magnificent scene.

Swallowing all spiritual quality without refusal, the spiritual body within the halo had already begun its second developmental growth, as if the adult worm were weaving a foundation, completing another promotion.

But what the Crown of Isis cut off was not just external spiritual quality, but also the souls, desires, and grievances attracted by the power of the Huang Liang remains.

All external spiritual quality was swept into the storm, swallowed up without a single drop left!

After the long, initial, and weakest accumulation passed in a leap with the help of the thunderclouds, the Crown of Isis, which had completely formed a disaster-scale, had entered the expansion stage.

A true natural disaster was born right before everyone's eyes!

Drawing the firewood from under the cauldron!

I don't care what kind of Myriad Transformation Paradise or Huang Liang remains or Huaxu Kingdom it is, even if it's a dream bubble or a terrifying, hideous alienated forbidden zone... they all need spiritual quality, right?

Where is there an engine that doesn't burn fuel?

Ji Jue wanted to see how much longer the opponent could last after cutting off this supply and intercepting the souls constantly gathering from all sides!

Unfortunately, this question was destined to have no answer.

The moment the Crown of Isis turned into a storm outside the forbidden zone, inside the forbidden zone, in the middle of the desolate, shattered city, at the very top of that eerie high tower, a blood-red eye erupted with fierce light.

A gloomy, cold snort sounded.

As if a beautiful dream had been disturbed by some petty thieves, Wen Sheng, hiding behind the scenes, opened his eyes. After terminating the metamorphosis, he took over the Huang Liang remains and indifferently glanced at the silver curtain now blocking Punabantu.

"Clowns, not worth a glance!"

In the cold, sneering voice, the Huang Liang remains shook suddenly, and then, the domain of the Myriad Transformation Paradise expanded and spread abruptly, like a non-existent phantom, easily crossing the blockade of the Crown of Isis and the obstruction of solid alchemy, extending outward...

And then, in turn, it sealed the Crown of Isis within it!

An alarm sounded suddenly.

The Dragon Skeleton Fleet retreated rapidly, narrowly dodging this wave of expansion, but Huang Xu was sweating profusely: "Oh no!"

Countless phantoms emerged from the glimmer, and the Myriad Transformation Paradise began to spread in reverse toward the Crown of Isis, initiating conversion and erosion toward the internal spiritual quality and spiritual bodies.

In the blink of an eye, it had assimilated the massive spiritual quality storm and the halo hanging high above the firmament...

Your stuff is not bad.

Pity, it's mine now...

"Pfft—————"

In that instant, laughter that could no longer be held back erupted from the Prosperity, rocking back and forth.

Ji Jue's tears were almost coming out from laughing.

Uncontrollable.

The structure of the Crown of Isis was merely an application of fluid alchemy and solid alchemy; there were no blessings inside, not even permission settings, completely in a state of accepting all comers.

Aside from the storm easily stirred up by its own mass, there were no incredible secrets or powers at all.

But its essence was exactly the opposite...

Everything came from the structural analysis and replication of the Underworld Sea Worm by Ji Jue and Isis in the simulation of the Tower of Myriad Transformations; whether it was its traits, its essence, or its composition, it could be said... it was completely a reappearance and rebirth of the worm's creation.

So, the question arises...

In this world, how could there still be someone who thinks they live too long, has too good a life, and has nothing better to do than open their mouth to actively swallow a fully intact worm that is in desperate need of nutrition and hasn't even fully developed yet?!

Snap!

A crisp sound erupted suddenly from above the firmament.

In that instant, the brilliant silver light disguised on the outside shattered completely. Beneath the halo, countless silver tentacles and limbs extended, massive amounts of mercury vapor spread, wriggling like internal organs, and quickly seeped into the entire Punabantu.

The sky, the islands, the abandoned cities, the shattered bones, the walking corpses that were like empty shells, and even that eerie high tower, all welcomed a torrential downpour.

Dots of silver light appeared everywhere like bone-attached gangrene, appearing in every corner, impossible to drive away or wipe out.

In just a short blink of an eye, following the erosion of the Huang Liang remains, the reconstruction of the worm was already complete.

And then, everyone saw the surging seawater turn pure black, bit by bit!

Dyeing the world, distorting the sea, causing the world to fall into the netherworld... In the reality covered by the nightmare, the transformation of the Underworld Sea had begun, and the worm was thus formed!

Is the eerie assimilation like the Myriad Transformation Paradise useful?

Actually, it is useful.

Regrettably, before it could take effect, the opponent had already surrendered; even before he could make a move, they had actively raised the white flag and integrated into this distorted and alienated family.

【Missing text: alienated family.】

Just like when it clung to the present world in the past, it drilled into every inch of the domain. The same parasitism and the same erosion, and even the same assimilation...

Likewise, accepting all comers.

You erode me, I parasitize you; you assimilate me, I can't even wait!

If the opponent turns a deaf ear, then draw the firewood from under the cauldron, boil the frog in warm water, dig out his foundation bit by bit, and in turn, swallow the entire forbidden zone.

If the opponent destroys and damages, then rely on one's own mass and the entanglement of extracted spiritual quality for a war of attrition, until the opponent burns through all spiritual quality and power, collapsing without being attacked.

If the opponent wants to assimilate the Underworld Sea Worm...

Pfft, how could anyone have such a dream?

Sorry, brother, you dropped something; is this little red ball from your nose?

BOOM!!!!!

More cracks appeared from within the dreamlike, eerie forbidden zone. Those ever-changing phantoms dissipated abruptly, replaced by tentacles and organs appearing out of thin air.

In the cracks of stones, on reefs, in mudflats, in buildings, one silver eye after another slowly opened, spreading like mold.

Even those empty shells that were like walking corpses gradually developed organs and cracks that shouldn't be there, turning into the worm's limbs.

More, however, were cracks; in the air, in the seawater, above the sky, the whole world was like a glass bead stepped on and exploded—the neon was no more, the splendor was gone.

The moment the parasitism was complete, the worm had already begun to grow, spontaneously spreading and expanding; in the process of assimilating and being assimilated, it dissolved and regenerated at a terrifying speed that the naked eye couldn't keep up with, filling everything within the forbidden zone.

It was as if two sets of bones, two sets of blood vessels, and internal organs appeared in one body at the same time, entangling and fighting each other, competing for nutrition and control.

Uncontrollable cancer began to spread.

The eerie magic realm of just a few minutes ago was now gradually losing control amidst rapid collapse, and even, the gate was wide open!

"Hey, Ji Jue, that thing doesn't look like anything good..." Huang Xu's projection looked over, his expression complex, as if mocking and emotional.

You really know how to set things up.

To be able to replicate the Underworld Sea Worm...

It's just that you wouldn't want the Association's Punishment Squad to know about your little research, right?

"Hmm, indeed."

Ji Jue nodded, promising decisively: "But don't worry, Master, I will keep your secret."

【??.】

Huang Xu's expression froze in place, unable to distinguish what he had actually heard?

You? Help me? Keep a secret?

Are you crazy or am I crazy?

Then, he heard Ji Jue's voice: "As long as you don't go around spreading that I have an Underworld Sea Worm, I won't tell anyone else that your North Wind Workshop has fusion bombs."

Bullshit!

Huang Xu's face turned livid, "When did I ever say I..."

BOOM!!!!

In that instant, it seemed like something fell from the sky.

Insignificant.

But immediately after, a dazzling fierce light erupted from the deepest part of the magic realm, rising up, making all things look dim, black, and blurry.

Then, accompanied by the flickering and expansion of the fierce light, a pitch-black mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky. And the violent air wave had already sprouted from the very center of the island, howling toward all directions.

Massive waves were stirred up on the sea surface, howling past.

The scorching gale howled across the sea, making people's faces ache.

And amidst the shrill wailing, the towering giant tower snapped at the waist, blood sprayed like a tide, suffering heavy damage!

Without a doubt, that kind of thing, that kind of momentum, that kind of trace—a fusion bomb!!!
