Mental Contamination and Granulation Mutation!
Bibi Dong swung her Demon Scythe, turning once again an area covered in fleshy tentacles into a desolate wasteland, a barely Frisk hint of relief flashing in her purple eyes.
If this major threat can be resolved so quickly, avoiding a deeper conflict with the Ferocious Beast like Di Tian, it would naturally be the best option for the Spirit Hall.
Even the four Ferocious Beast —Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, Ten Thousand Demon King, and Zi JI —were on guard at the rear. Watching the unstoppable advance ahead, their tense muscles relaxed slightly.
Xiong Jun even felt a little bored, his huge paws unconsciously scratching the ground, thinking that Bi Ji's arrangement for them to protect that kid was making a mountain out of a molehill.
Only Lin Xia's brows furrowed even more deeply.
He stood within the golden-green light shield Sun Wheel Guard, watching the area ahead being rapidly purified, yet the ominous premonition in his heart tightened like cold vines.
It went too smoothly! Unbelievably smoothly!
The core of that Pollution Source was so troublesome that even Gu Yuena found it difficult to deal with; it could even erode the energy of the Lake of Life, and its cunning and tenacity were absolutely beyond imagination.
While those Pollution Derivatives were indeed rampant, they were more like cannon fodder on the outermost edge.
How could the core area be so easily purified and dispelled?
It's like... it's like the other party is actively withdrawing their power?
"Senior Bi Ji! Teacher! Master!"
Lin Xia couldn't help but speak up to remind her, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Watch out! Something's not right! The Pollution Core seems to be... lying dormant?"
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's golden pupils flashed with a sharp light, and his powerful spiritual energy instantly swept across the seemingly purified area in front of him.
Indeed, although the surface filth was cleansed, the evil, twisted, and malicious primal will deep underground did not dissipate. Instead, it became more concentrated and profound, like a lurking venomous snake!
His expression changed slightly.
"Oh no! It's...!"
A sudden change occurs! Fusion! The Abyssal Form!
Before the words were even finished!
The change occurred in an instant!
They didn't come from the front, but from the areas they had just purified, or were even purifying!
Rumble rumble rumble--!!!
It was as if the very core of the Black Swamp Forest was trembling violently!
The scorched earth Burn black by the Qian Daoliu Holy Flame, the plant ash slashed by Bibi Dong 'Demon Scythe, the filthy remains shattered by Di Tian's Dragon Claw, and even the free-floating polluting energy purified by Qian Renxue's Halo and Lin Xia's Sun Wheel Guard... all the places that had been "purified," the remaining, not yet completely dissipated, traces of Sisi purest and most stubborn source of pollution were suddenly Sheer Force drawn away and gathered by an invisible, terrifying will originating from the depths of the earth!
This is no longer a simple dissipation of energy, but rather Sheer Force domination and fusion by a higher-level, more malevolent rule!
"Stop it!"
With a fierce Qian Daoliu unleashed the radiance of the Angel Holy Sword, unleashing a massive golden cross of holy light that spanned the heavens and earth, carrying the will to purify all evil, as it slashed fiercely towards the frantically converging node of will deep within the earth!
Bibi Dong reacted just as swiftly, her Rakshasa Demon Scythe drawing a purplish-black trajectory that tore through space, piercing straight towards the converging core!
Di Tian let out a furious dragon roar, and the Dragon God Claw, imbued with the laws of destruction, slammed down like divine punishment!
However, it was too late!
The remaining sources of pollution coalesced in an unprecedented manner just before the attacks of the three peak experts arrived!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a deathly silence that froze the soul.
Immediately afterwards, several hundred meters ahead of them, in the center of the area that had just been cleared, space violently distorted and collapsed like ripples on water.
An indescribable, enormous monster slowly "stood up" from the center of the distorted space, as if it had been born from the most filthy womb in the Abyss of hell.
It has no fixed form, as if it were Sheer Force kneaded together from countless swallowed, dissolved, and twisted biological remains.
The massive body appeared as a writhing, semi-fluid, dark purple mass of flesh, its surface constantly bulging and cracking, flowing out viscous pus that shimmered with an eerie green phosphorescence.
On its enormous body, one can see countless agonizing and struggling heads of Soul Beast, twisted plant roots, and even the outlines of human limbs rising and falling, appearing and disappearing within the chunks of flesh. They seem to still retain a trace of consciousness, emitting silent, maddening howls.
Dozens, even hundreds, of tentacles or limbs of various shapes extend from this enormous mass of flesh.
Some are as thick as ancient trees, covered with slippery scales and constantly opening and closing Suction Cups.
Some are as thin as whips, with the end splitting into mouthparts covered with sharp teeth, dripping Corrosion saliva.
Some are entirely composed of wriggling, decaying plant roots, emitting deadly clouds of Spore.
Even worse, some were composed entirely of thick, ever-changing pus, shimmering with an ominous dark light.
The most chilling part was the monster's "head" area—if it could even be called a head.
There were no facial features, only an enormous, bloodshot, and dark, deep vertical pupil that seemed capable of devouring souls!
His vertical pupils slowly rotated, devoid of any emotion, containing only the purest hatred and destructive desire for all life and order.
Surrounding the vertical pupil were dozens of eyeballs of varying sizes, all equally filled with madness and malice, each rotating and Lock-On onto every living being present!
A terrifying aura, hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than before, suddenly erupted!
This aura was a mixture of extreme filth, insane babbling, icy silence, and a greedy, devouring desire for the very essence of life!
It is no longer a mere physical threat, but a desecration and denial of existence itself!
Merely observing—mental pollution and granulation mutation!
The instant Lin Xia's gaze met that enormous vertical pupil!
Buzz--!!!
An indescribable, cold, and slippery will, like an invisible Poison Point, instantly Infiltrator the golden-green light shield Sun Wheel Guard and fiercely stabbed into his mind!
The world before him instantly twisted and spun, countless insane, chaotic, and blasphemous images and whispers exploding into his consciousness! It wasn't just sound; it was the pollution of will, the distortion of form!
Lin Xia groaned, her head throbbing with pain, feeling as if her soul was being torn apart and tainted with darkness!
Even more terrifying, his exposed skin—arms, neck, and even cheeks—suddenly experienced a strange, tingling sensation!
Looking down, Lin Xia's pupils constricted, and a chill ran from his feet to the top of his head—small, wriggling buds were indeed starting to swell under the skin of his arm!
The granulation tissue had a sickly pink color, with its tips slightly cracked, as if something indescribable was about to grow out!
"Ugh!"
Extreme horror and intense physical discomfort almost suffocated Lin Xia, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back!
"Dana--!!!"
