Chapter 426: Stealing the Heavens and Changing the Day

The Necromancer, Ling Shengzi, and Turiyou did not discover Ye Bai's layout.

Groups of headless knights swung their longswords, hacking toward the Clones of the Sunflower Fairy.

However, as the sharp swords pierced the Clones, the Clones burst apart one after another, and a crystal-clear seed immediately ejected onto the ground.

These seeds are the essence of the Clones; they will lurk on the ground, silently performing Purification on the surrounding Yin energy, and after accumulating enough energy, they will grow again, transforming into the sunflower form of the Sunflower Fairy.

Following the destruction of a large number of Clones, the Necromancer walked into the venue with his head held high.

What surprised him slightly was that the people in the venue did not stop the Necromancer.

The entire competition venue was deathly quiet, which made the three of them feel extremely suspicious.

"Strange, how can the security here be so weak, just like it's made of paper?"

The Necromancer felt there must be a trap in this.

"Necromancer, why do you get more suspicious the older you get?"

"Have you forgotten that our Soul Clones are still in the venue?"

"If they had faked it, would we not have discovered it?"

Ling Shengzi said mockingly.

In fact, his own heart was also pounding with anxiety.

Ling Shengzi is not like the Necromancer; he is quite sensitive to the perception of souls.

He could clearly feel that a Barrier seemed to have been activated here, isolating the connection between him and his Soul Clones.

However, the Ling Shengzi before us was also only a portion of his soul; he transmitted the specific situation to his main body through special means.

Ling Sheng Gong.

This is the Gongdian where Ling Shengzi's main body resides.

A large number of disordered undead were drifting about in the Gongdian.

This place had been fashioned by Ling Shengzi into the likeness of Yin Cao Di Fu, looking extremely Weird.

The Ming He, Zhuanlun Tai, Naihe Bridge, Eighteen Levels of Hell, and others were all manifested here one by one.

A youth with a pale complexion, wearing a black dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon throne.

Floating above him was a large amount of Soul Fire.

These ghost fires floated in the air, and their ghostly blue light illuminated the surroundings.

A giant Ox-Head was standing beside the youth, holding a chain covered in bloodstains.

And a Horse-Face stood to one side, holding a steel fork.

These two Exotic Beasts were named Ox-Head and Horse-Face by Ling Shengzi.

And his Ling Sheng Gong was also known as the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

"Yo, this Yan Country is really cunning, coming up with a Haishishenglou method."

"The Necromancer's Soul Fragments being scattered everywhere has indeed affected its soul."

"That is why its sensory ability is so weak."

Ling Shengzi possesses a secret technique that can cleanse a soul and infuse it with his own memories, directly creating a Clone.

It is just that every Clone has been infused by Ling Shengzi with a portion of his main body's thoughts.

Therefore, no matter how many Clones die, to Ling Shengzi, it is nothing more than a bit of effort.

"The Necromancer has always wanted to usurp the inheritance of Ling Shengzi."

"He wants to draw upon the Trinity Project method to allow him to take that step toward deification."

"However, this step is not easy to take; it has to do with talent, and it also has to do with luck."

"But I do not want to become a vessel for the Chairman."

Ling Shengzi is the head of the three Holy Sons; he has inherited the position of the previous Ling Shengzi for over twenty years.

This period of time was enough for Ling Shengzi to uncover a lot of information.

He is also the one who is hidden the deepest.

The four Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth are the four great Dashan weighing on Ling Shengzi's head.

They are all fanatics of the Chairman; once Ling Shengzi has the thought of wanting to leave, he will certainly be captured by the four Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth.

Therefore, Ling Shengzi's idea is very simple: to keep the four Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth busy.

The main point is to find them something to do.

Right now, Ling Shengzi is carrying out a great plan; he intends to extract his own soul and use the soul of a Seventh Rank Exotic Beast to create another version of himself.

However, this process is quite complex and involves various secret arts.

If he could, Ling Shengzi would not want to suffer needlessly.

But he understands very well now that he is temporarily unable to contend with the four Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth.

Because he discovered that no matter how extraordinary his talent is, affected by the Trinity Project, he is unable to break through to the Eighth Rank.

And the four Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth are Bashie Jutu, existences who might break through to the Ninth Rank at any time.

The Chairman does not want the three Holy Sons to escape his control, so he placed the most vicious curse: every Holy Son, upon reaching Seven-Tier Peak, cannot improve another step.

That is why Ling Shengzi wants to betray the Resurrection Society and defect to the Yan Country.

He intends to contribute all of Ling Shengzi's inheritance in exchange for a chance at survival.

"Ox-Head, Horse-Face, close the Gongdian gates immediately; if anyone comes to call for me, say that I am in seclusion, intending to break through to the Eighth Rank as soon as possible."

Ling Shengzi knows very well that if he brings up this excuse, the four great Elders will not disturb him, even if they know he cannot break through.

They cannot very well say that they have long known Ling Shengzi is unable to break through and can only serve as a vessel.

"Next, Black and White Impermanence, you go on a trip for me and deliver this soul crystal to Ye Bai."

"This soul crystal has a miraculous effect on Ye Bai's spirits; I do not believe he will refuse my good intentions."

Ling Shengzi is following the plan, step by step weakening the influence of the other two Shengzi.

It would be best if, during this period, one Shengzi were suddenly killed, as that would delay the Trinity Project for a while longer.

The new Blood Shengzi is still very weak in strength, so naturally, the Elder will not send them out to execute missions.

As for Neng Shengzi, they are evenly matched with me; it would be great if I could finish off Neng Shengzi.

Ling Shengzi intends to gather more information on Neng Shengzi and provide a copy of the intelligence gathered to the Yan Country.

At this moment, Ling Shengzi is looking at a world map.

"Actually, according to my detection, there is a small island in the coastal area that possesses a Fountain of Life."

"However, this small island is not so easy to enter; multiple sets of restrictions have been set up inside."

"I might as well pass this news to Neng Shengzi."

"If Neng Shengzi is wiped out by the restrictions, that is a result that will make everyone happy; if Neng Shengzi is still alive, then I can only prepare for both possibilities."

Ling Shengzi quickly passed on this news.

On the other side.

The Young Qilin Cup venue.

The undead army summoned by the Necromancer is continuously pouring into the venue.

"Twenty-Eight Mansions, you cannot save them."

"My headless horseman army was carefully selected by me, and each one possesses strength far exceeding that of an ordinary person."

"Now you can only watch helplessly as this group of contestants is taken away by me."

"By the way, you can also choose to resist, but the consequence of resisting is that my headless horseman army will begin to kill the contestants."

The Necromancer commanded the bone dragon to perform an emergency dive.

Little did they know, upon entering a certain range, the Necromancer discovered that this was actually a trap.

The scenery around them dissipated like bubbles.

And layers of Space Barrier trapped the Necromancer within.

Tuyuori followed closely behind, but was teleported to a forest-filled space they had never seen before.

Ling Shengzi seemed to have seen through Ye Bai's layout and left with a smile.

"Damn it, it seems I cannot summon the undead army here."

The Necromancer said with a cold sneer.

It is merely a Barrier; watch how I shatter it.

The Necromancer raised the staff crafted from Refined Gold and used the Soul Summoning Technique.

Countless bones crawled out from the ground.

The strength of these bones is not even at the third rank, but they are perfectly suited for exploring this space.

This Barrier was set up by Jingmuhan themself, specifically to trap the Necromancer and Tuyuori.

Because the Necromancer's Soul has been cut into countless pieces, their sensory ability is extremely weak.

Therefore, they are like a headless fly, crashing around everywhere.

As for Tuyuori, they are in a forest zone that counters them; the moment their pride-and-joy clay is brought out, it is chased by the tree spirits in the forest.

If they accidentally offed a tree spirit at this time, that would be directly poking a hornet's nest.

The roots of the tree spirits can entangle Tuyuori's clay, causing it to turn into a pile of loose sand.

"Jingmuhan, Guijinyang, do you want to pick one?"

Ye Bai asked with a smile.

"No, I need to control the Barrier here and cannot leave easily."

"Guijinyang, you go; do you choose to fight the Necromancer or Tuyuori?"

Jingmuhan said indifferently.

"I choose to fight the Necromancer; I want to see if their Soul Summoning Technique is stronger, or if my mechanism arts are stronger."

As the Giant of the Mohist school, Guijinyang possesses a Mechanism City, so they are naturally fearless.

"Fine then, I will go deal with Tuyuori."

Ye Bai nodded.

He knows very well in his heart that dealing with Tuyuori might very well attract other members of the Seven Stars.

But as a person of the Yan Country, having encountered the heinous Tuyuori, he must fight to give the people of the Yan Country an explanation.

Most of Tuyuori's skills lie in clay; this is the first time they have seen a Domain that can counter their clay.

"Damn it, if I don't have clay as a medium, I simply cannot summon many Exotic Beast."

"In this way, my battle with the Twenty-Eight Mansions will fall into a disadvantage."

Tuyuori is now feeling slightly regretful; they shouldn't have stuck their foot in and gotten themselves involved in this turmoil.

At this moment, a crackling sound came from the air, and a massive bolt of Thunder Light flashed across the sky.

Dahui held the Thunder God Axe and struck heavily toward Tuyuori.

Tuyuori's body instantly turned into clay, and at this moment, the tree spirits brandished bows and arrows, shooting at the clay scattered all over the ground.

Before long, small trees sprouted one after another from the clay.

"Dahui, can you sense where Tuyuori is?"

Ye Bai asked loudly.

Dahui carried the axe, revealing an incredibly honest expression.

It suddenly raised its hand and shot a bolt of electricity toward the direction of the sky.

The previously cloudless sky instantly became cloudy, and dark, ink-like storm clouds immediately spread out.

Bursts of Thunder Light fell from the sky, avoiding the trees and striking the ground.

It was currently detecting the location of Earth Day.

Earth Day watched the wild thunder descending from the sky, a trace of madness appearing in his eyes.

"Damn it, if you won't leave me a way to live, I won't let you have an easy time either."

On the other side.

Zhang Lingxue had just left the Laboratory when she received a new mission.

This mission was about tracking down the whereabouts of the Seven Stars.

"Xiao Xue, the Seven Stars is a notorious organization in the Yan Country."

"Every single one of them has the strength of the Seventh Rank."

"I have always suspected that your parents' accident was related to the Seven Stars."

"Ye Bai has discovered the trail of Earth Day from the Seven Stars."

"And I have intelligence here regarding Water Day."

"I want to send you and Zhang Yuelu to find Water Day."

Zhang Dashan handed a thick stack of documents to Zhang Lingxue.

After hearing Zhang Dashan's words, Zhang Lingxue's pupils shook violently.

The culprit who caused the death of both her parents is very likely the Seven Stars?

Zhang Lingxue found it hard to believe.

"The Seven Stars are divided into Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Sun, and Moon."

"Among them, Gold Day is their leader."

"And Water Day is the confidant Gold Day trusts the most; if we can capture Water Day and obtain the true identities of the other Seven Stars from his mouth, it will be very helpful for our capture of the Seven Stars."

"However, you must be careful; Water Day possesses a very special ability: he can use his voice to charm Exotic Beasts and make them controlled by him."

"You had best keep the Guangming Nüshen Die released at all times to use it to resist negative influences."

"By the way, Zhang Yuelu is also in Tianhai City."

"Go directly to find her, and while you're at it, see if Ye Bai has any other gains there."

On the other side.

Lan Fenghuang was carefully grinding medicinal herbs.

A crack-crack sound came from a glass jar to the side.

A palm-sized Gu insect, its entire body glowing with red light, was diligently gnawing on a cake made of medicinal herbs.

"My god, I actually managed to tinker with an Explosion Gu; I really am a genius."

Lan Fenghuang looked up to the sky and laughed loudly.

The appearance of this Explosion Gu was similar to ordinary Gu insects, but it looked very festive, all bright red and fiery.

This type of Gu insect was like a spider, possessing eight legs.

After encountering an enemy, it would climb up rapidly, use its legs to tightly hug that person, and then trigger a massive explosion.

Moreover, this Explosion Gu was not like other Gu insects that were naturally aggressive.

They only needed a trace of mental energy to be introduced into them, and they would begin to fight.

It must be said that this time, Lan Fenghuang had invented a quite remarkable thing.

"It seems that the combination of Parasite and Gu insect is indeed a track worth researching."

Lan Fenghuang could finally hold her head high before her ancestors.

Just at this moment, the Red Chain Snake hanging by Lan Fenghuang's ear suddenly leaned close to her ear.

It emitted a hissing sound.

"What, the Seven Stars have appeared?"

Lan Fenghuang's voice sounded somewhat gnashing of teeth.

"Damn Seven Stars, in order to obtain the Secret Treasure of my Five Poisons Sect, they specifically slaughtered the people of one of our villages."

"Hmph, this time I will collect some interest; it just so happens I can use it to test the power of the Explosion Gu."

Lan Fenghuang made up her mind, and she was seen throwing out a Gu pouch, putting the Explosion Gu into it one after another.

"It's getting late, time to act."

Lan Fenghuang would never forget that her relatives and friends had all fallen in a pool of blood.

And the purpose of these people was to obtain the Secret Treasure of the Five Poisons Sect, that legendary Five Poisons Staff that could control Gu insects.

In order to find the Five Poisons Staff, they even cut open the hearts of the old, weak, women, and children to take out their life-bound Gu.
