Chapter 330 - 13: Immortal Grass (1/3)
"Is it your destined calamity?"
With furrowed brows, he stared intently at the towering giant that resembled a moving volcano.
Although it was only a brief clash, Golden Horn had already sensed the daunting challenge posed by the opponent.
In this zone of chaotic Primordial Qi, even a Celestial Being like Golden Horn, who practiced the Path of Celestial and Human, couldn’t last against Long Jikui, who relied solely on his physical strength in combat.
After all, Golden Horn had immense reserves, but eventually, his Primordial Qi would be depleted.
"Yes, it possesses a strange life force within it. I was able to return to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range because of it."
"What I didn’t expect was that it could also come back to life."
Bahu didn’t waste time with pointless phrases like "you shouldn’t have come" and quickly adjusted his breathing to speak.
"It seems because a part of my roots still remains in its body, causing it to fixate on me."
"Now it probably wants to consume me and complete its true resurrection."
Bahu was never a fool and naturally deduced Long Jikui’s intentions.
"So, only one of you can survive?"
The situation was far more complicated than Golden Horn had imagined, and he began contemplating how to deal with this immortal living corpse.
Running away with Bahu was undoubtedly the worst choice.
Even if Long Jikui had to chase them to The Ends of the Earth, it would surely catch up again.
As for the destruction and disasters along the way?
Even the living Long Jikui wouldn’t care about those matters, let alone now as a living corpse.
"Theoretically, yes, but we can’t kill it."
Glancing at Golden Horn beside him, Bahu expressed his judgment.
"Have you heard of ’Immortal Grass’?"
"I suspect that this giant consumed ’Immortal Grass’ before dying, granting it a true undying body."
Hearing Bahu’s words, Golden Horn furrowed his brows even tighter.
He hadn’t heard of ’Immortal Grass’, but he understood the implication in Bahu’s words.
"Can’t shake it off, can’t kill it, sounds like a big headache."
Using a tone identical to Li Boyang’s, Golden Horn’s words made Bahu glance sideways.
Because Bahu didn’t sense any fear in Golden Horn’s words, instead, there was an air of confidence.
"You..."
Before Bahu could finish speaking, Golden Horn had already taken the golden gourd from his back.
In the next moment, Golden Horn opened the lid of the golden gourd.
Then he aimed the mouth of the gourd at Long Jikui, who was still roaring and howling.
Swoosh!
A terrifying suction appeared in that instant.
Shattered rocks, cracked earth, burning flames, raging storms...
Everything was sucked into the golden gourd at that moment.
Even the mountain-like Long Jikui stumbled and almost toppled over.
"Kill!"
Luckily, Long Jikui’s animal instincts made it sink its body.
With a posture almost like a "Thousand-Pound Weight", it stabilized its stance just in time.
Despite this, the suction from the golden gourd continued to act on it, drawing the surrounding soil, rocks, and lava into the air.
Under such circumstances, Long Jikui couldn’t even continue fighting.
Just staying anchored and not getting sucked into the gourd had drained all its strength.
...........................
"What an exaggerated divine artifact..."
Witnessing the terrifying ability of the golden gourd to devour everything, Bahu couldn’t help but exclaim.
Rocks, fire, storm, magma...
Everything within sight, tangible or intangible, was drawn into the golden gourd.
The mouth of the small gourd was like an endless abyss.
Anything approaching it would shrink until completely sucked into the gourd.
"Let me lend you a hand!"
Turning back into a gentle breeze, Bahu reappeared in front of Golden Horn after a few breaths.
It was both the "safe zone" unreachable by the gourd’s suction and the position behind Long Jikui’s head.
Whoosh!
When Bahu waved the Palm Leaf Fan again, a raging storm swept through.
Long Jikui, already struggling against the suction, finally gave out, his entire body lifted into the air.
"Come!"
Seeing this, Golden Horn also turned the golden gourd with all his might.
Instantly, a stronger suction emanated from the gourd’s mouth, successfully drawing Long Jikui into the gourd.
"Kill!"
Until the moment he fell into the gourd, Long Jikui was still roaring in either a wail or howl.
Pop!
Feeling the vibrations from the golden gourd, Golden Horn immediately closed its lid.
As Li Boyang had told him, this golden gourd was not yet a fully completed form.
If he ever had to use it, he must handle it with great caution, lest it leave behind hidden dangers.
With a naturally steady disposition, Golden Horn kept these words firmly in mind and didn’t relax his vigilance now.
However, whether it was an illusion or not, when Golden Horn gently shook the golden gourd, an eerie crimson surface seemed to appear on it.
"Is your gourd... turning a bit red?"
Silently returning to Golden Horn’s side, Bahu noticed the faint red glow of the gourd and couldn’t help but ask.
The redness resembled flames, yet it also seemed like blood.
Bahu, worldly and experienced, made a terrifying conjecture.
"Perhaps!"
Without directly answering Bahu’s question, Golden Horn silently strapped the golden gourd back.
Then, he gazed at the ravaged land beneath his feet.
After being ravaged by wind and fire, the golden gourd scraped the surface raw, combined with the tumultuous Primordial Qi environment.
For the next few hundred years, no living thing would be able to take root on this land.
"This isn’t your fault..."
Gently caressing Golden Horn’s head,
Bahu, like a true mother, softly comforted him.
But deep inside, Bahu couldn’t help but feel a twinge of worry.
—Was it really a good thing for Li Boyang to raise this child to be so kind-hearted?
"My mentor once told me that every life is a unique, one-time treasure."
"I didn’t understand what he meant at first, but now I do."
"Compared to this land and the creatures that once lived here..."
"Our power is so immense that it could drive any intelligent being to madness."
"That’s why every Witch King of Great Xia has tried to weaken us, and the current Witch King even wants to completely eliminate us."
"This led to this disaster, to this great cataclysm of annihilation."
