"Dad, are you okay?"
Seeing Su Lie stripping the ancient will from Yuan Shu, Tian Yang rushed over immediately. He did not forget that when he stripped the splitter Po Xun from the female priest, that thing immediately shifted its target and parasitized on himself.
So he guessed that after the salmonella was stripped away, it would instinctively choose another target and transfer to its father.
As expected, he guessed it right.
As soon as he was separated from Yuan Shu and there was no hope of returning to his body, Shamen immediately wanted to parasitize on Su Lie. Although this kind of parasitism was not as good as the skin actively inviting him to merge perfectly, it at least had the opportunity to occupy Su Lie's body.
Unfortunately, before it could succeed, it was nailed to the ground by Tianyang.
Su Lie shook his head. At this moment, the mass of flesh and blood that was nailed to the ground by the wild fire suddenly sprouted hundreds of flesh buds. Those things quickly stabbed towards Tianyang, trying to drill into his body and complete the parasitism.
"Be careful!" Su Lie raised Juque and was about to cut off these flesh buds, but he saw black light bands coming out of Tianyang's body.
Those light bands seem to correspond to the number of granulations. The number of light bands depends on the number of granulations.
Then, the light strips were precisely connected to the granulation tissue. The light strips wrapped around the granulation tissue and pulled and tore it violently, as if trying to pull something out of the granulation tissue.
Soon, Su Lie saw that one of the light bands pulled out a piece of dark red mixed with black iron from the granulation tissue. The breath was like clouds and mist. After being pulled out by the light band, it merged into the black light band, lighting up an area of fine and complex patterns.
When the cloud-like breath was pulled out, the previous granulation tissue lost its color, turned into lime, turned into dust, and scattered silently.
Su Lie looked at all this in amazement, watching the red and black mists being peeled off by the light bands. Once the mists were absorbed by the light bands, the granulations would turn into stone powder and lose all vitality.
As if aware of the power of those black light bands, the mass of flesh and blood where the Salmon Will is hiding has stopped generating granulations. Instead, it is trying to retract other granulations, trying to reduce losses and trying to get rid of the light bands.
But the light bands that stretched out from Tianyang's body, like the tentacles of something, were no longer satisfied with peeling off those flesh buds. They twisted into several larger light bands, and probed into the mass of flesh and blood on the ground, pulling at the will of the monks in it, trying to pull out all the essence of the war sacrifice and absorb it.
It seemed that this process would last for some time, so Su Lie looked at Yuan Shu not far away.
Yuan Shu was already lying on the ground, still maintaining his human-horse form, seemingly unable to recover his original appearance. But his body was now collapsing, his flesh and blood were necrotizing, rotting, and falling off at an extremely fast rate.
The crown on Yuan Shu's head that he had received from the Black Prince was covered with cracks. Then, with a slight sound, it shattered into countless powders. The gem in the middle broke into two, and then broke into large and small particles and fell down.
Yuan Shu's chest was still rising and falling stubbornly, but it looked like it would stop at any moment. He laughed dryly and said, "Su Lie, kill me."
"If you still want revenge, this is your only chance."
Su Lie looked at the man on the ground who seemed to have aged suddenly, chuckled, shook his head and said: "I have thought about it. In the past seventeen years, I have imagined the scene of burying the sword in your body countless times."
"But now, strangely enough, I don't want to do that."
"Because now you have already suffered the consequences of your own actions, it doesn't matter whether I kill you or not."
Yuan Shu
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "You haven't changed. Perhaps because of this, you have been wandering in the adverse world for seventeen years without being swallowed by darkness."
"Unlike me..."
"Su Lie, if you see Feimei, see my daughter."
"Say 'I'm sorry' to her for me."
After uttering the last word, Yuan Shu’s chest stopped rising and falling, and his body quickly rotted away. In the end, only the skeleton of a monster remained on the ground.
Looking at Yuan Shu's corpse, Su Lie's eyes were solemn. He did not feel the pleasure of revenge as he had imagined, but only a sense of nothingness and emptiness.
Tianyang's figure flashed through his mind, and the heaviness in his eyes suddenly eased a bit, and his eyes became much brighter.
Su Lie turned around and saw that the black band of light extending from Tianyang's body had already pulled out a cloud of mist that vaguely outlined the shape of a man and a horse from the mass of flesh and blood on the ground.
The cloud was constantly torn apart and absorbed by the light bands, gradually becoming incomplete and shrinking. After a moment, it was completely swallowed up by the black light bands.
After swallowing up the cloud, several bands of light turned around and headed towards Su Lie.
Su Lie's eyes flashed, but at this time, Tian Yang reached out and grabbed those light strips.
"Go back!" Tianyang shouted.
The light bands then reluctantly retracted and, along with the other light bands, shrank into Tianyang's body.
Su Lie looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Tianyang shook his head and snapped his fingers. A silver light appeared, outlining an illusory mysterious archway. The double doors creaked open, and Tianyang looked at his father: "Let's leave here first."
Su Lie had no objection. After taking another look at Yuan Shu's corpse, he crawled into the door through the crack.
Huanggu Town.
The flames in the town have gradually gone out, with only a few spots still burning stubbornly. Silver light floats in the air, and an ancient gate emerges from the air. The mysterious door opens, and Tianyang and Su Lie walk out.
"Dad, you really won't go back with me?" Tianyang asked with a frown.
Su Lie smiled and said, "My 'Chuan Kingdom' has consumed a lot of energy. I plan to replenish the dark particles here and create a few more units of 'Chaos' so that I can open it outside the door if necessary."
"Although the Reverse Realm is not like the grave, the speed at which dark particles are replenished here is always faster than outside the gate. Outside the gate, we can only let them regenerate on their own, which is too slow to recover."
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
Tian Yang then nodded: "I'll wait for you in the fortress."
He turned and walked into the gap door, waved goodbye, and then closed the door.
Tian Yang did not return to the forward base immediately. He still needed to digest the information Su Lie had just released.
"The war priest Shaman and the divider Po Xun are just two fingers of their master..."
"Their master is the Pillar of the Old Ones, the one who devoured the gods and built the tomb. In other words, he is the master of the 'tomb'?"
"There are three Pillars of the Old Ones in total. The owner of the tomb is only one of the three pillars. Who are the remaining two? If they are not in the tomb, where else could they be?"
"The Krav Gate is not a gift. The real terror is about to come. Are these words a trick or a prophecy?"
Tianyang pursed his lips, feeling that he was not relieved by the demise of Yuan Shu and the ancient will, but rather
An indescribable heaviness.
He snapped his fingers again, opened the door, and returned to the vicinity of the forward base.
Walking out of the crack door, Tianyang looked around and found that the black army had retreated. In this way, he was more certain that the abnormality of the black people and Yuan Shu was related to the ancient will in his body.
Now that they have disappeared, the black people are leaderless and have returned to their previous state of disunity.
But this also reminded Tianyang how terrible it would be if the Black King appeared in the reverse world.
By then, the people of darkness will no longer be a group of scattered sand, but an invincible army.
Tianyang entered the base and got the news that Xiaoniao had already returned to the fortress. This was probably because Yunhai was worried that the battle was too dangerous and that he would not be able to protect the younger generation, so he let them go first.
In addition to Xiaoniao, rising stars like Yunfeng and Bai Wuji were also sent back by their elders, but the elders of the family stayed in the base, willing to sacrifice for the younger generation.
In fact, this is not the tradition of the Yun family or the Bai family, but the consensus of all the fortresses.
If faced with a major disaster, most people, except for a very few selfish people, will choose to leave the chance of survival to the young.
After all, young lives have infinite possibilities and they represent the future of the human race.
After seeing Yunhai, Tianyang also said goodbye and left. Now that Yuan Shu is dead, Shamen's essence has been devoured by the things in his body, and there will be no danger in the reverse world for the time being.
There was no need for Tianyang to stay here any longer. He passed through the Clave Gate, his eyes lit up, and he was back on the transfer platform of the fortress.
... ... ... .
Adversity.
In the wilderness where Su Lie and Shamen fought, although the battle had ended, the remaining aura still made the black people dare not approach. The higher the level of the black people, the more they could feel the power level of the two sides in the battle. They were instinctively afraid and stayed away from this area.
Instead, it was the wanderers, the lowest level of ignorant and unaware black people, who foolishly and blindly wandered around without feeling any actual threat, and gradually approached.
Several wanderers with twisted bodies and deformed limbs dragged their steps to the center of the battlefield. They staggered, and the gray light emanating from the cage of will on their chests floated in the darkness like fireflies.
When they approached the skeleton of a creature that looked like a centaur, the wanderers suddenly stopped, and then their flesh and blood were guided and peeled off by a strange force, turning into pure flesh and blood, flowing towards the skeleton.
The skeleton also began to vibrate, and the upper body flew into the air, while some bones in the lower body separated from the original skeleton, forming two thighs in the air and then connecting to the skeleton in mid-air.
In this way, a complete human skeleton was formed. Then the flesh and blood provided by several wanderers were rolled up on the skeleton and laid on top, gradually forming red and white muscles, various organs, nerves, and blood vessels.
The bones and flesh continued to connect, and after a while, it fell to the ground. This was a skinless person. Although it had full muscles and a strong physique, there was no skin on its body, just like a skinned corpse.
At this moment, the man's eyeballs slowly rolled up, and a pair of dark pupils gradually emerged from under his eye sockets.
It raised its hand and looked at the condition of its body, and suddenly a new layer of skin quickly formed from head to toe.
Suddenly, it became him!
