Chapter 56: Holy Shit!!!

Southwest wasteland hill.

Deathly silence.

When that malevolent ghost's form condensed from ten feet tall to normal human size, the entire heaven and earth was instantly stripped of "sound."

Wind was nailed dead to the treetops.

Insects frozen stiff at grass roots.

The faint night clamor from distant Fengtian City was gripped by an invisible hand at its throat, abruptly stopping.

It just stood there.

Similar height to Lu Yuan, but its form was a flowing, indescribable darkness.

Not the black of night, but a "nothingness" purer and more viscous than the deepest night color.

Most horrifying was its "head."

There were no facial features, only two continuously inward-collapsing pitch-black vortexes.

Those were two entrances connecting to a void abyss.

Anyone who gazed at it would have their divine soul forcibly yanked from their body by those vortexes, plunging into eternal depravity.

It merely existed and the surrounding space began to "sicken."

With it as center, within thirty feet, vegetation silently turned to ash, earth and stone lost their luster, transforming into a lifeless sickly grayish-white.

The "meaning" of existence in this land had been completely drained.

Air thick as oil, each breath pouring in intense decaying iron rust smell.

That wasn't olfactory, but malice itself directly acting on the senses manifested.

Even more terrifying was the distortion of rules.

Lu Yuan clearly felt his connection with heaven and earth spiritual qi being brutally severed and polluted by a force.

He tried to circulate his Celestial Master magical power.

The "spiritual mechanism" around his body had already been dyed with ink, sluggish and highly toxic.

The earth beneath his feet transmitted a bizarre feeling of emptiness, about to collapse into a bottomless abyss at any moment.

This wasn't suppression of power.

This was negation at the level of existence.

It...

Why does it seem...

Even stronger than Gu Qingwan??

Xu Erxiao and Wang Cheng'an had long since lost all color in their faces.

The two youths' hands gripping peachwood swords trembled violently—the trembling wasn't from fear, but a tremor originating from life's instinct.

Like grass sandals witnessing mountain collapse, ants facing tsunami.

Their cultivation was too low, their perception actually more direct. That wasn't an "enemy" that could be opposed—that was walking "calamity."

...

At the same time, Fengtian City, Zhao residence back courtyard.

On the towering ritual platform, Shen Shulan suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of shock, her cold pupils staring fixedly toward the southwestern sky.

In her eyes, the night sky there wasn't pitch-black but presented a heart-palpitating dark red color, like a festering wound.

Even more bizarre, the stars in that patch of sky were "extinguishing" one by one.

Not obscured by clouds, but their starlight was being devoured by some existence during its journey to the ground.

The seven apricot-yellow flags inserted at the edge of the ritual platform beneath her moved without wind, flag surfaces fluttering loudly.

The next moment—

All seven flags simultaneously self-ignited!

Blue-black bizarre flames instantly burned the flags to ash.

"Heaven and earth reversed... fierce god descends..."

Shen Shulan's voice carried a trace of trembling.

What exactly happened on Martial Uncle's side!!!!

...

On the wasteland hill.

"Kill them!!!"

A venomous roar broke the deathly silence.

The "Malevolent Slaughter Register" destroyed, that hunchbacked old man went completely mad, clutching broken pages with a savage expression, roaring.

Lu Yuan's group faced this great enemy, pushing the magical power in their bodies to the extreme.

But what completely exceeded everyone's expectations was...

Originally thinking this kind of super-fierce entity would erase one or even all of Lu Yuan's group's lives in one exchange.

But... but this twenty-star super-fierce entity actually had no reaction, didn't move.

Disconnected?

Obviously not.

It hovered in mid-air, raising an arm composed of pure darkness, examining itself.

The next second, its body suddenly disappeared from its original position.

Instantly appearing in another bizarre location.

Disappearing again, appearing again.

It was like a child who just received a new toy, testing its own speed.

This speed... Lu Yuan couldn't even catch its afterimage.

What Lu Yuan could see was just it suddenly appearing here, then suddenly appearing there.

"Didn't... didn't attack?"

Not only was Lu Yuan's group dumbfounded, the Life-Severing Wang Family pair opposite was also stunned.

This peerless fierce creature they created seemed not to follow commands but soon, Lu Yuan understood!

The "Malevolent Slaughter Register" was destroyed!

This thing was created by the "Malevolent Slaughter Register." Now with the ritual implement body destroyed, it... broke free of control?!

This question, the Life-Severing Wang Family obviously understood better.

That hunchbacked old man cursed under his breath, his hands immediately beginning to form seals!

After all, the super-fierce entity and the Life-Severing Wang Family were of the same origin.

When the hunchbacked old man formed seals, black qi surged from his body, establishing an invisible connection with that super-fierce entity then this super-fierce entity stabilized, no longer jumping around.

Just then, Yellow Braised Chicken at Lu Yuan's side emitted a piercing shriek, "What are you standing around for!!"

"Hurry up and call the Great Immortal over!!"

Lu Yuan knew that the Great Immortal Yellow Braised Chicken spoke of wasn't the immortal of his Daoist path but referred to... Gu Qingwan.

But… but in the current situation, calling... calling Gu Qingwan would be useful??!!

Never mind that from True Dragon Temple to Fengtian City, there wasn't enough time.

Just talking about the terrifying malevolent qi this super malevolent ghost currently displayed...

What if Gu Qingwan also wasn't a match... wouldn't that be sending her to her death?

Right now the best solution was to quickly kill that hunchbacked old man!

Don't let him control this super-fierce entity!

Anyway, this super-fierce entity was condensed by the "Malevolent Slaughter Register." No matter how strong, it would definitely self-dissipate before dawn!

Lu Yuan's [Subdue Demons and Eliminate Evil] system's blood-red text prompt clearly stated this!

"Idiot!!"

Yellow Braised Chicken seemed to see through Lu Yuan's thoughts and cursed.

"That Great Immortal dotes on you!!"

"When she's with you, she's suppressing all her evil nature!!"

"Can't you even see this!!"

"The Great Immortal's cultivation is higher than this thing by who knows how much!!"

"Hurry up and damn well call her!!"

Also at this moment, that super malevolent ghost re-controlled by the hunchbacked old man slowly turned that "face" with only two pitch-black vortexes.

The instant those two collapsing void vortexes stared at him, Lu Yuan felt his divine soul being torn.

His heart's last trace of hope was completely extinguished.

Forget it.

No chance left.

At this point, besides calling Gu Qingwan, Lu Yuan had no other means.

Of course, Lu Yuan's system space had many top-tier treasures given by the system.

But... facing this level of fierce entity, they were useless.

The gap between the two sides was too vast.

Even if Lu Yuan held top-tier treasures, it would be like a three-year-old child holding a famous blade—absolutely no threat to an adult.

Lu Yuan hesitated no more, his hand reached into his chest, touching that jade-smooth bone token.

Suddenly squeezed hard!

Uh...

Holy shit!!!

Lu Yuan's expression instantly froze.

This... this time why did squeezing... not crush it?!
