Myriad Bones as Armor, Stakes Gathered into a Prison
Inside the library, there were other Confucian scholars who seemed to sense something at that moment, but it was fleeting, and no one noticed the scholar's clone in the corner.
After a while, Fang Ziyan pushed open the door and entered. His gaze inadvertently swept over the scholar's clone, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Is this person writing? There seems to be a restrained yet powerful aura about them, almost as if the calligraphy has reached a state of divine artistry!"
Puzzled, Fang Ziyan was about to walk over.
Just then, the scholar's clone suddenly looked up, frowned, and the aura of desolation dissipated.
Fang Ziyan also came to his senses and shook his head. "It seems to be an illusion. That makes sense. If he could really write with such talent, how could he not be famous? I was overthinking it. I should think about how to overshadow Gu Yanzhi at the next poetry gathering."
He shook his head, picked out a poetry anthology, and left.
In the corner, the scholar's clone put down his pen, rekindling the Spiritual Light in his heart, and began to work on it.
Suddenly, a thunderclap struck the Land of the Divine Remains!
"Yin Xiao'e! I am here on the orders of the Circuit City God to search for the ruins. Come quickly to my aid!"
These words suddenly exploded like thunder, spreading throughout the vast forest, and could be clearly heard by several tribes, including the Lianxi Clan.
This sound interrupted the deity's train of thought, forcing even the scholar's avatar to halt its comprehension.
Deep in the jungle, two figures stood before Totem Pillar that soared into the clouds; the words just spoken came from there.
These two figures were none other than Ye Lu, the Gate God, and Liu Xuan, the Prison God. The Divine Body of these two deities had also been transformed into flesh and blood.
Ye Lu had just finished shouting and was adjusting his breathing when Liu Xuan, standing beside him, frowned and asked with some worry, "Will Yin Xiao'e really come?"
Ye Lu said in a deep voice, "Yin Xiao'e is ranked among the Yuanning Metropolitan City God, and is under the control of the Circuit City God. Relying on the residual divine power that you gave us, we can sense her approximate location, which is within a hundred miles. With careful investigation, we can narrow down the area..."
Liu Xuan's worry deepened. "I'm afraid we won't have enough time. This Land of the Divine Remains is too strange; the divine power left behind by the master dissipated too quickly. It won't be long before..."
As he spoke, he also sent out his thoughts, but a gust of wind interrupted his thoughts, and then he heard an old, deep voice come down from the Totem Pillar: "Don't try to play tricks in front of me, just do your job honestly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, strange symbols appeared on the foreheads of Ye Lu and Liu Xuan, and then they both screamed in agony. It took them a while to recover.
Forcing himself to calm down, Ye Lu looked up and shouted, "We have no other intentions. We'll go out now, and once we find her, we'll capture her on the spot!"
"Very well, I'll give you one more chance. However, that little girl Yin Xiao'e is no pushover. I'll lend you another hand!"
Ye Lu and Liu Xuan listened and nodded obsequiously.
After leaving Yuanning City, the two deities went straight into the Five Creeks Forest, crossed the lava, entered the Giant Mouth, and arrived at the Land of the Divine Remains. Then, following the instructions of the Circuit City God, they chose a tribe to enslave and seized three Totem Pillar. However, they then encountered the Yuantou Tribe and suffered a crushing defeat, and were also placed under a restriction.
From then on, the dignified deities were enslaved and driven at will, and would tremble with fear at the slightest disturbance.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A whooshing sound came from above, followed by two pale white figures descending straight down, hovering in mid-air in front of Ye Lu and Liu Xuan.
There were two sets of armor, and the style of the armor was rather strange, with bone spikes along the edges.
"These two pieces are armors I crafted, named 'Myriad Bone Wither.' Wearing them will increase our chances of victory."
"This..."
Looking at the armor in front of them, Ye Lu and Liu Xuan hesitated, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts. But then, the sharp pain in their foreheads forced them to make a choice. They looked at each other, then each raised their hands to touch the armor.
The armor spun around and was placed on the two gods.
The armor creaked and groaned as Root Bone sprouted from its interior, piercing through flesh and penetrating deep into the Divine Body. The tips of these bone spurs seemed to possess a spirit, winding their way through the Stellar Vortex and reaching the Divine Pool!
Immediately, the two deities felt as if their minds had been stolen.
"What's going on?!"
Although Ye Lu and Liu Xuan had guessed that the armor would be strange, they did not expect it would affect the Divine Pool!
They are appointed Subordinate Deity, Core Talisman is in the hands of the Circuit City God. Only the talisman projection exists in their Divine Body, but the Divine Pool is the foundation, accumulating the Incense Faith gathered by the believers. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
An aged voice rang out at the opportune moment. "Don't panic, carefully experience the wondrous effects of the Myriad Bone Wither' technique."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two gods trembled, and the armor covering their bodies released strange emotions and thoughts, which flowed into the Divine Pool through the bone spikes, causing the Incense Faith in the Divine Pool to boil instantly!
Ye Lu and Liu Xuan felt a surge of heat in their hearts, their bodies filled with excitement, and they desperately wanted to release it!
"Go! Bring me Yin Xiao'e!"
Urged on by the aged voice, Ye Lu and Liu Xuan roared and turned around, stomping their feet on the ground!
Boom!
The ground within a radius of a hundred feet sank several inches, and propelled by this reaction force, the two gods were already five hundred feet away in the air!
"These are the deities appointed by the Heavenly Court. Once the thoughts that constitute their Divine Body change, their very nature must be altered."
After the two gods disappeared into the distance, the aged voice continued speaking, then suddenly changed its tone, coalesced into a stream, and rushed towards a grove of trees.
Boom!
Trees flew sideways, revealing a fiery red figure.
"You've been hiding to the side, are you perhaps intending to challenge me?"
Hearing the question, the fiery red figure slowly stepped forward. She wore a cloak, a bird perched on her shoulder, and smiled slightly, saying, "Grand Tutor, why be so formal? I have come here to join forces with you..."
Boom!
The two gods landed, and in this world, apart from Flying Bird, even gods could not fly.
"Although we have been ordered to patrol, the forest is vast, Circuit City God's divine power cannot accurately locate Yin Xiao'e. How should we search for her? And that new god cannot be let go either; we must capture them both! Neither Yin Xiao'e nor that new god can be let go!" With a powerful push, Ye Lu leaped into the air again, his eyes revealing a wild ambition, but he still knew how to think of a solution.
Beside him, Liu Xuan also leaped into the air, grinning as he said, "Didn't the Circuit City God's divine power foreshadow this? Yin Xiao'e is in this forest. If this whole place is confined, where can she and the new god run off to?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xuan flicked his fingers and formed hand seals. The white armor at his knuckles clashed lightly, producing a crisp sound.
"They bowed their heads and entered the Tiger-Head Prison, kneeling before the Prison God!"
Roar!!!
With a roar, a tiger-head-shaped light and shadow rose from Liu Xuan's body, roaring and expanding as it charged downwards, crashing into the forest like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey!
Immediately, the light and shadow vanished like bubbles!
Boom!
The earth trembled, the soil shifted, and one by one, wooden stakes burst forth from the ground, each as thick as a hundred-year-old tree. They roared upwards, reaching hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye, swiftly passing by Liu Xuan and Ye Lu who were soaring through the air, reaching the sky, and then twisting and entangled together!
In an instant, the intertwined wooden stakes, like a cage, covered an area of six hundred feet!
Within the cage, divine power descended, causing birds and beasts to tremble in fear, and numerous tribes to live in unease.
The cultivators and deities stationed in the various tribes awoke in shock, and were deeply shaken by the scene before them.
"What kind of deity is this, so ungrateful for divine power!"
"The soil transforms into wooden stakes, altering its essence and creating Domain of Law —this is the ability of Fourth Grade deity!"
"Even with immense divine power, such a massive display can't withstand the drain of resources over several years!"
"Oh no! I've been trapped in the divine Domain of Law!"
Liu Xuan, of course, couldn't hear the words of the many cultivators and gods. He was overjoyed. "With this armor on my body, I was able to unleash the power of Fourth Grade cultivator despite being only Fifth Grade cultivator! It's truly a treasure!" A sense of pride rose from the bottom of his heart.
Just then, his and Ye Lu's strength waned, and they fell to the ground.
"Well done," Ye Lu laughed during the descent. "This way, we have the entire forest under our control and can search it at our leisure. Even if Yin Xiao'e tries to escape, we'll know immediately and give chase right away!"
"Trying to hunt me down? Very well, come and kill me!"
Suddenly! A clear, resonant voice came from below, accompanied by a chilling, murderous aura!
Before the words were even finished, a flash of silver light appeared, and a long spear pierced towards the two gods, its tip sparking with sparks!
The gun was held in the hand of a woman with long hair and a tight-fitting outfit; it was none other than Yin Xiao'e!
"Hmm? Instead of running away, you attacked? That saves some trouble. But, are you trying to rebel? We are followers of the Circuit City God..." Liu Xuan paused for a moment, and the sharp spear tip was right in front of him. He quickly stopped talking, raised his hand and grabbed the spear tip with his five fingers. Sparks flew as the white armor and the spear tip rubbed together.
Call!
Sparks exploded violently, rapidly expanding and coalescing into a human figure that raised its arm and thrust forward, striking Liu Xuan in the face with a punch!
