Chapter 1393 702: Neither Way Works!
An invisible force emerges from the crying.
The eerie sound passes, leaving everyone's vision darkened. Ji Jue's Cun Jun Sword trembles, severing some unseen connection. Minkler's watch emits a cracking sound and is completely ruined.
"There are disordered items of the tower within this evil object? Can this be linked together? Amazing!"
Ji Jue clicks his tongue in admiration, even feeling like applauding.
Truly a novel spectacle!
Wild tricks may not be strong, but they are certainly wild...
Though the Bloody Mother is essentially a chaotic patchwork creature functionally, it is truly maximized.
Each move is aimed at annihilation, exterminating entire families. From thunder, howls, blood, to now crying, in a densely populated area, this single scream could drain thousands instantly.
Lou Feng feels a moment of dizziness, followed by a cracking sound at his wrist. A crystal bead on the chain breaks, an attack targeting Spirituality and soul!
In a moment's daze, he seems to see the human head, skin, heart, and bones in the Bloody Mother's hands transform into his own.
The three faces with bloody tears rise again, pitch-black eyes staring directly at Lou Feng, as cries of a swaddled infant mournfully echo in the void.
Again?!
"Oh, this foolish child..."
Ji Jue sighs, "Why bring up what's best left unsaid?"
At this point, Lou Feng indifferently raises his hands, suddenly clasping them together.
Walking into the trap, huh?
"Die!"
Boom!!!
Within the crystalline giant tree covering the entire base, thunderous heartbeats erupt, a torrent of spiritual essence converges from the tree's branches, countless spiritual circuits continuously overlap, extend, and grow...
In an instant, the entire giant tree transforms into genuine alchemy or rather, a Blessed Creation!
The Dust Element lineage, Ji Jue has studied it, but has he not seen it before?!
Within half a month, he has mastered almost all of its patterns! And the compatibility between his own artisanship lineage and Dust far exceeds Fluid Alchemy!
Spiritual Shaping is akin to creating in the void, inherently compatible with Dust's aggregation!
At this moment, countless spiritual crystals collide, change, reorganize, like a kaleidoscope, unleashing a dizzying frenzy, and then once again solidifying.
At this place, this moment, everything is already under Lou Feng's control!
All reflected in the rays of illusion light between him.
This is something specially crafted for Ji Jue, his wretched foe...
I'll let you have it first!
——[Transformation Mirror·Star of Bethlehem]
Thunder erupts out of thin air.
Within the giant tree's pulsating heart, countless fruitful growths emerge on branches. Within each spiritual crystal encased within shines lightning and flame of blinding brilliance.
Now, ripe, they fall, descending annihilation!
The nearly infinite spiritual formula output, swiftly constructed, lays waste to the entire base except the command center where Ji Jue resides.
Like a bomber fleet meticulously attending, violent devastation begins now,
Blinding fierce light continuously bursts forth, piercing the sky. The base beneath the giant tree's embrace quakes, igniting innumerable dazzling rays like a nightclub's disco ball.
Every ray is an explosive outburst, a hearty discharge and bombardment, unrestrained, unapologetic, even disregarding Ji Jue...
Why care about him?
If he dies, it's considered a good deed!
Terrifying forces capable of evaporating the entire base dozens of times over erupt in an instant, incessant harrowing screams rise, boiling blood evaporates, residual spirits in flames shatter entirely, and the shattered residual spirit explodes.
One into ten, ten into a hundred, hundred into a thousand... all destroyed transform into destruction itself, this incessant ruin and explosion embody the essence of the Entropy System, Extinction Formula·Blast Loop!
Paired with Blessing Chain·[All Things Return to Ember], once activated, within the sealed realm, all that is tangible meets complete annihilation.
Until thoroughly reduced to void, with the fundamental material structure unable even to remain, mere ashes in the wind!
Leaving Ji Jue's scalp prickling.
Damn, wouldn't this move be aimed at me?
If faced with this in a trench battle, aside from relying on Giant Que's resilience, there's really no other viable strategy, Giant Que, you must endure!
No way, must gather more materials, or else suffer aching buttocks at night.
Screams!
Screams sound again, amidst countless lightning strikes, harrowing screams rise incessantly.
It's not just the Bloody Mother screaming, but the controller behind it howling as well, rolling on the altar, as if devoured by invisible mouths, barely holding on.
Controlling evil objects was always akin to quenching thirst with poison, a perilous bet, guiding evil with one's own soul, facing constant backlash.
Can't devour the opponent, it devours you!
Within the destructive frenzy of Star of Bethlehem, the Holy Image of Bloody Mother repeatedly shatters and reforms, the cracks on the faces extending, repeatedly pulling at Lou Feng's soul, yet unable to grasp.
Lou Feng's soul remains steady as Mount Tai, his blood completely unresponsive to its call, while Absolute Abyss's spiritual shock is completely nullified, the cries drowned out by relentless bolts of lightning.
One can only say, Ember preparation is like this.
Neither can blame the Bloody Mother for being ineffective, not even replacing her with an actual transcend would help, but does the Sujano Family possess transcend?
Eh! There actually was one before!
Later on…
Later on, they ended up dead inside the Ancient Temple.
Ji Jue slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered: Coincidentally, it was his own doing!
His impression was especially vivid because at the time, he slaughtered in such a hurry and wasted so much! Those were all his materials! And due to a catalyst remark by the Heavenly Furnace Old Dog, all got washed away.
As for Lou Feng…
He never worried at all.
Young Master Lou's conditions were much better than his, countless times stronger.
In the Ember faction, the most important thing is apprenticeship.
Every craftsman is extremely cautious when choosing students. Even if they're just for exploitation, they must have good teeth, let alone a true successor.
A master teaching students values nurturing according to their talents.
Different strokes for different folks.
For someone like Ji Jue, who is so poor there's only a bowl left, the main teaching method is laissez-faire. Learn what you need to learn, and then head out into the world.
Whether eating porridge or fine delicacies depends on your ability. Start with a dog, and all equipment comes from drops. It's all about individual talent.
But for someone like Lou Feng, who lacks nothing with a silver spoon, it's necessary to teach through words and example. Starting with a guaranteed sixty points, there's no need to gamble as long as he doesn't die prematurely, he'll surely achieve something.
Hence, it's all about putting things to their best use.
Whatever equipment and materials are available, use them if they're useful, keep them if they're not, and use when needed… This also means, compared to the few pieces of self-made gear on Ji Jue, Lou Feng possesses a vast amount from his apprenticeship and the Lou Family's inventory!
Ninety percent of a craftsman's combat ability lies in creations!
The only thing limiting a craftsman is the upper limit they can endure and the reserve of spiritual energy… Let alone the upper limit, spiritual energy reserves are even less a concern!
After surpassing the most awkward early stage, he had already entered the true explosive phase of the Ember faction like Ji Jue, and if necessary, he would definitely be more outrageous than Ji Jue!
Compared to the equipment in Lou Feng's possession now, the Bloody Mother?
What the heck!
Boom!!!
Amidst the thunder, a cracking sound erupted.
So crisp and faint, yet overwhelming the surrounding booms, echoing in everyone's ears.
The shattered Bloody Mother had already lost four arms and two heads; even its current face and body were hard to preserve, yet each explosion of thunder and fire seemed like a chisel, stripping away the excess fragments from its body…
Thus, revealing its true form bit by bit.
The compassionate face made of countless flesh and blood shattered, revealing the creepy scales and a hideous face underneath, turning the merciful Mother into a hunched monster, covered with sharp scales, grotesque and terrifying, with blood continuously seeping from the scales and dripping down.
Black threads of darkness rose from within, spreading, forcefully opening a gap amidst the thunder and flames.
The Heavenly Yuan Domain, no, it was a tower!
A realm almost like the Circle Realm emerged around the evil statue, resisting the Destruction of the Star of Bethlehem.
And right in the statue's embrace, the ragged swaddling clothes finally loosened… revealing the crying infant within, one half a tender face and the other half, a fish head with hollow, pitch-black eyes!
The half-fish, half-human infant appeared instantly, immense darkness erupted and spread.
At this moment, the crying infant suddenly fell silent, then slowly lifted its head to look at Lou Feng.
Silently, it grinned!
Unlike the previous hesitance and stiffness, the Bloody Mother transformed.
A switch in personas!
Boom!!!
Countless whispers seemed to surround, akin to praise, worship, prayer, as if countless mirages rushed in, on the sea, on deserted islands, in the deepest oceans, one hunched figure after another knelt to the bizarre half-human, half-fish statue, devoutly offering sacrifices and lives.
The statue shed blood, held as treasures, drunk into the belly.
Thereafter, scales grew rapidly on those worshipers, mutant and deformed, they stepped into the sea, swam into the dark sea, sinking into the deeper abyss of the deep sea, swimming towards that majestic city submerged in the ocean, that land holy formed of countless corpses.
And at the deepest part of the Holy Land, a colossal shadow in the dark quivered slightly, gazing from afar across miles towards here!
With one glance, a name was engraved in Lou Feng's consciousness like a knife cut and axe chop, rapidly growing, spreading, consuming thoughts and soul, filling everything.
Countless fervent shouts echoed in his ears, calling out the same name.
Abyss Lord! Abyss Lord! Abyss Lord! Abyss Lord!
—[Abyss Lord]!!!
"What are you babbling about?"
A hand, coming from who knows where, gently covered the infant's face.
The infant's expression twitched, dazed, with wide-eyed, only seeing an unexpected face approaching, looking down with a tut of admiration:
"Such a cute little baby, are you really your parents' child?"
In a moment of bewilderment, the Abyss Lord didn't even have time to react.
Meanwhile, on the sidelines, numerous onlookers rose from their seats, eyes wide open, as if seeing a ghost.
"Holy crap—"
"—Ji Jue!!!"
