Outer Heaven Demon Statue
Ziyue frowned as she watched the familiar figure outside transform into that terrifying tumor monster!
What project team did the senior colleague mention?
"It's nothing." Ziyue shook her head. "Those two fell into Liu Yu's trap and were poisoned by his blood. If I'm not mistaken, that poisonous blood was extracted by Liu Yu from the Outer Heaven Demon Statue!"
" Outer Heaven Demon Statue?" Chen Baifeng asked urgently, "Didn't the King of Qin forbid anyone from touching those golems?"
Even though decades have passed, the experience of sealing the demon statue is still like yesterday for many people. It was the first time that a modern aristocratic family encountered an ancient invasion and felt the power of the ancients for the first time. The power gap, the awareness of one's own insignificance, and the terror that a single leak could destroy the world at any time made Chen Baifeng, who participated in the event, feel like he was walking on thin ice.
Although no one recognized the King of Qin afterward, they all had to admit that if it weren't for that man who led tens of thousands of clans to engage in an unprecedented cooperation in human history, perhaps the world would have already fallen into endless terror.
When they first faced the terror of the ancient times, no noble family was willing to be greedy, including Chen Baifeng. Compared to the Dragon Palace, what this Outer Heaven Demon Statue brought was far too terrifying!
Who would have thought that the seemingly most carefree guy would dare to do such a thing?
" The King of Qin?" Ziyue laughed, " The King of Qin may be able to guard against you, but he can't guard against that guy. He can't even intimidate him. Back then, all of you were in awe of the King of Qin, except for that one person, who was closest to the King of Qin, yet also the least afraid of King of Qin."
"Just like you?" Chen Baifeng suddenly looked at Ziyue!
Back then, facing the seemingly omnipresent presence of the King of Qin, the closest people to him were Liu Yu and the guy in front of him.
"Ah," Ziyue nodded, "Just like me!"
Ziyue turned around and looked at Xiao Mingyue and Gu Ying, who had already undergone changes.
"There are many kinds of Outer Heaven Demon Statue, and each one poses a threat of world destruction. Unlike ancient beings like the Dragon Palace, they did not come to enslave humanity; they came from the very beginning to destroy this world!"
"For example, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire secretly kept in the South Sea Dragon Palace originated from one of the demonic statues. Once leaked, it could burn down the world and turn all living beings into resentment!"
"I don't know exactly what this thing in front of me is, but I know for sure that it's not just about destroying the physical body."
"What do you mean?" Chen Baifeng asked anxiously.
"All the powers of the Outer Heaven Demon Statue have one thing in common: transmissibility!" Ziyue said, squinting. "Like a virus, the faster a virus can kill its host, the less likely it is to spread widely. So its power often doesn't destroy the host first, but rather strengthens it, giving the host enough time to spread this power!"
"The same is true of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. Once it ignites, it lingers for a long time. It doesn't immediately burn objects to death; instead, it burns their life force, driving people or things mad and igniting more people or more things. This is the characteristic of that kind of ghostly thing. By analogy, Xiao Mingyue will not only not collapse in a short time, but will probably become even stronger!"
Upon hearing this, the Chen Household immediately felt goosebumps rise all over their bodies. Sure enough, the two figures returned even faster the next moment, bringing an even more terrifying pressure, making them more frightened each time!
"Let's retreat, Baifeng!"
The wounded Chen Da roared, "Stop coveting the Dragon King! Retreat!"
"How can we possibly retreat now?" Chen Baifeng said with a wry smile.
Ziyue nodded in agreement. "Don't be fooled by Chen Baifeng's current Dragon King Breed. His physical body might be stronger than Xiao Mingyue Xiao Mingyue Mingyue's. If we retreat now, we'll likely be caught and killed instantly. The power of the divine statue not only corrodes the body but also the soul. At this moment, Xiao Mingyue has probably already lost her composure!"
"What should we do then?" Several Chen Household turned pale, filled with regret. They shouldn't have taken this risk in the first place!
Come to think of it, if Liu Yu wasn't absolutely certain of victory, why would he provoke so many people?
Now that we're caught in this situation, are we really just going to stand by and wait to die?
Although the Chen Household had prepared a way out, how could they be willing to die and have their hundreds of thousands of years of waiting vanish into thin air?
"Senior, is there still a way to survive?" Chen Baifeng asked anxiously.
The two outside were getting faster and faster, and his immense mental energy could no longer keep up. If this continued, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold out for long!
"A way out." Ziyue lowered her head, thinking quickly, " Liu Yu doesn't want a world corrupted by the idols, and he's definitely not a follower of the Outer Heaven Demon Statue. He's just using the power of the idols. In that case, he'll definitely find a way to control the situation and prevent the secret of this place from being revealed!"
As she spoke, Ziyue suddenly looked upwards. " The Dragon King's place is the way out!!"
Chen Baifeng and the others suddenly looked up!
"The blood from the rotting statue came from those few nobles of the Dragon Palace. There's only one possibility for the Dragon Palace nobles to willingly act as bait: it was on the orders of the Dragon King. If I'm not mistaken, Liu Yu somehow controlled the Dragon King and forcibly issued the order. And for the sake of the Dragon Palace and the East Sea, these nobles of the Dragon Palace were willing to let the blood of the statue infect them, thus orchestrating this scheme!"
"That's the Dragon King! What gives Liu Yu the right to control such a being?"
The Chen Household looked on in disbelief!
Having served in the Dragon Palace for hundreds of thousands of years, they still couldn't believe that Liu Yu, a mere mortal, could control the Dragon King, even though the Dragon King was now extremely weak!
" Painted Skin Mister!"
"What did you say?" Chen Baifeng's pupils contracted.
"There's only one possibility!" Ziyue sneered, "Skinning and bone-drawing, all things become spirits; any creature in this world can be transformed by the Painted Skin Mister. This is a characteristic of the Five Great Misters!!"
"This—" Chen Baifeng suddenly looked up. "Senior, are you saying that the Dragon King is now a puppet?"
"It's an unfinished puppet!" Ziyue asserted. "Otherwise, there would be no need for all this. The Dragon King's power alone could kill us. This risky use of the idol's blood must be because it's not yet complete. And if that's the case, the Dragon King must be safe. Because if the Dragon King is infected by the divine blood, ha, this world will truly be doomed!"
"I see!" Chen Baifeng reacted immediately. "Hold on, Grandfathers!"
"Good!" The mental power of several members of the Chen Household clan immediately reached its limit, and the massive wind force expanded, forcing Xiao Mingyue and the other person back with all their might!
Chen Baifeng formed a hand seal, and an extremely complex rune array floated in the air. In the next instant, the wind that pierced through the air was like a long rainbow that directly closed the distance between Chen Baifeng and the Sky Dragon King!
"Walk!!"
Chen Baifeng roared and leaped into the air, riding the powerful current straight towards the Dragon King's position!
The rest of the Chen Household quickly followed, but Ziyue, whether due to insufficient physical strength or some other reason, fell far behind Shen Laowu!
--
"Oh? That's a clever move!"
As the massive gust of wind swept through, Liu Yu smiled.
I managed to react, but how could I have been unprepared?
Liu Yu formed a hand seal, and the space in front of the Floating Dragon King suddenly distorted. Just as the surging wind approached the old Dragon King, it cracked into countless pieces, like a shattered mirror!
Clearly, it's a spatial array that was prepared long ago!
A massive surge of wind was swept into countless fragments. Chen Baifeng was horrified to discover that he and his Chen Household were also being torn apart by the fragments. Even more terrifying was that both the sinister-looking nobleman from the East Sea and Xiao Mingyue, who had grown tumors and followed him, were also torn apart by the fragments!
"Not a single one was missed. See, I was right, wasn't I?" Liu Yu said, looking at the old Kingly Dao.
Tears streamed down the Dragon King's face, but he remained silent.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that the massive wind current, along with the surrounding massive water flow, was swept into the spatial fragments. The blood that had not yet had a chance to spread was also swept into the fragments. Countless fragments were scattered around, but they were all tightly sealed off!
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Qing instantly recognized that the layout here was very similar to that of the Heavenly Dragon Palace —it was a spatial cage!
He suddenly understood; this was Liu Yu's scheme!
He never intended for the divine blood to spread. The divine blood was only meant to create panic, disrupt everyone's mindset, and make the situation urgent. Once everyone was in a panic, they would not be as careful as before to guard against Liu Yu's other strength: his unparalleled mastery of spatial magic!
As they approached, the three forces proceeded with extreme caution, fearing they might fall into Liu Yu's Space Trap. However, all their precautions were no match for Liu Yu's psychological warfare, and at the last moment, they deliberately walked into Liu Yu's trap!
At this moment, countless fragments floated around the Dragon King, but there were no external forces present. Everyone was trapped within the fragments, including the spreading divine blood.
Of course, Liu Yu was among them from the beginning. Otherwise, with Xiao Mingyue and the others' pure-blooded dragon sense, they would have found him long ago. Liu Yu had been hiding in the cage from the start, so as long as a few people didn't fall for it, Liu Yu actually had no way to deal with them.
But things are different now.
Liu Yu smiled with relief, "Finally, it's quiet. The Duke of Wei of Wei in the North Sea is dead, and the situation in the South Sea is settled. We only need to wait for Painted Skin Mister to complete his transformation so that we can drive the Dragon King to stop the Four Seas Great Formation. Then the Dragon Palace will be under our control."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Chen Qing: "How was it, Lord Chen? I didn't disgrace our ancestor, did I?"
"That's impressive," Chen Qing couldn't help but exclaim. "That fat guy probably never imagined he'd have such a remarkable descendant."
"That fat man?" Liu Yu was taken aback, then laughed, "You really do know our ancestor; you really aren't from this world."
"But it's alright, I'll uncover your secrets bit by bit. I'll find out everything about you people, even where you come from," Liu Yu laughed. "I'll find you all!"
Chen Qing: "."
