Chapter 200 A Different Truth
The Chaos Divine Iron suddenly turned into liquid metal and flowed in Xiaobai's palm, but suddenly broke free from its restraints and shot towards the center of the ruins like a living thing.
"Stop it." Jing Gan stretched out his dragon claws, but was knocked back three steps the moment he touched the divine iron. The metal liquid drew a strange arc in the air and sank directly into the ground.
The entire land began to tremble, and countless cracks spread like spider webs. From deep underground came the roar of metal colliding, as if a giant object was breaking out of the ground.
"Retreat, everyone, retreat outside the barrier." Nan Ningxia pointed his sword at the sky, and the ice crystal barrier instantly enveloped everyone. Almost at the same time, a dark red giant pillar that reached the sky and the earth rose up from the ground. The pillar was densely engraved with twisted runes, and each rune was oozing black blood.
Bai Ze suddenly stood up and pressed his front paws on the violently shaking ground: "This is the Tomb of Divine Soldiers. The vengeful spirits of the 100,000 divine soldiers who were bewitched and committed suicide back then are all sealed in this soul-suppressing pillar made of Chaos Divine Iron."
The runes on the surface of the giant pillar began to peel off, revealing countless faces struggling in pain. Those faces were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, but they all maintained the hideous expressions of the last moment before death. What was even more terrifying was that each face had the same demon mark between its eyebrows as in Xiaobai's dream.
"They didn't die in battle." The compass in Li Xiaoran's hand spun wildly. "They sacrificed themselves voluntarily. No, they were collectively hypnotized by some kind of ritual." He looked up suddenly. "The inner demon god tampered with their beliefs and cognition."
As if to confirm his words, the giant pillar suddenly cracked open. The moment the first vengeful spirit emerged, the entire sky darkened. It was a god general with only half of his body left, and scarlet flames were dancing in his empty eye sockets.
"Kill the rebellious gods." The vengeful spirit let out a roar that was not like a human voice, "Clean up the door for the Father God."
Xiao Bai was struck by lightning. She was very familiar with this slogan. It was the slogan that the radicals had shouted when they massacred the half-blooded descendants of the gods during the civil strife in the gods. But now, it was shouted by the vengeful spirit, and it clearly carried a twisted fanaticism.
One hundred thousand vengeful spirits poured out like a tide, and the space began to rust wherever they passed.
Jing Gan's dragon flame and Nan Ningxia's ice blade slashed at the vengeful spirit, and junior brother Yan Jinjin's sword energy was actually bounced off by the strange red light.
"Physical attacks are ineffective." Fifth Senior Brother Lin Jingxuan coughed up blood to stimulate the birth of the Pure Heaven Lotus. "Their resentment is reinforced by the power of faith."
Xiaobai suddenly pressed her chest. As the evil spirits approached, the unbroken chain behind her began to heat up. Some kind of ancient resonance awakened in her blood, and the slogans of the evil spirits gradually turned into another voice in her ears: [Heaven and earth are cruel... We have been deceived... Why did Father Pangu abandon us...]
"I understand." Xiaobai suddenly stepped out of the barrier, "They don't want to kill me, they want me to hear these last words before they were tampered with."
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, she opened her arms to face the torrent of evil spirits. The sharp claws of the evil spirit of the god general in the front had already touched her throat, but suddenly froze at the moment of contact with the divine pattern. Xiaobai's pupils were gray when chaos first began, and she softly chanted ancient words that even she herself did not understand.
The vengeful spirits all stopped moving, and then let out a deafening wail. The marks on their foreheads began to disintegrate, revealing the original golden emblem of the gods. But the liberation did not bring peace, but even more violent resentment.
The hundred thousand divine soldiers finally remembered how they were deceived by their faith and led themselves to death.
"What is the young master going to do?" Bai Ze's voice was trembling.
"Be a container." Xiaobai's voice sounded in everyone's sea of consciousness at the same time, "These dead souls need a carrier to rest in peace, and I, who was born from heaven and earth, am the best container."
A thousand-foot-long light burst out from her brows, and the chains behind her groaned as they could not bear the heavy weight. The vengeful spirits turned into streams of light and poured into her body. Every time one of them entered, a bloody crack appeared on her skin.
"No, you'll burst like this." Jing Gan wanted to rush over, but was blown away by the sudden riot of resentment. The remaining resentful spirits became more manic because of the disappearance of their companions, and the entire pillar began to tilt.
At the critical moment, a pink figure passed over everyone's heads. Fourth Senior Sister Bai Huanhuan revealed her true form as the Moon Spirit Rabbit, and there were actually several tails in the phantom, each of which glowed with the scarlet brilliance unique to the Demon King's bloodline.
"Junior sister, I'll help you divert the blood." She bit her tongue, and her blood turned into red lotuses all over the sky. Those lotuses landed precisely on the heads of the most violent vengeful spirits, temporarily freezing their movements.
Xiao Bai looked at the fourth sister gratefully, and took the opportunity to speed up the absorption. When the last vengeful spirit entered her body, her whole body had turned into a translucent glass, and a hundred thousand struggling starlights could be clearly seen in her body.
"The chain is about to break." Li Xiaoran suddenly exclaimed. The last chain behind Xiaobai cracked, and a breath of supernatural power began to leak out. The sky suddenly became overcast, and runes similar to those on the giant pillar appeared in the clouds.
Bai Ze suddenly stood up and formed a complex seal with his front paws: "So that's how it is. This chain is for 'guarding' rather than 'sealing'. Someone is preventing the young master from fully awakening, because..."
Its words were interrupted by a sudden change in the world. The giant pillar, without the vengeful spirit, collapsed with a loud bang, revealing a jade slip with Pangu's face engraved on it. The jade slip unfolded automatically, and the picture it projected made everyone shudder:
The young Pangu was playing chess with a black shadow with vertical pupils on his forehead, and the chess pieces on the board were actually miniature versions of the stars and gods.
"My dear daughter, do you understand now why Pangu in your memory always smiles?" The voice of the Heart Demon God came from the jade slip, "Come to the Nine Nether Abyss, here is your severed 'other half'."
The projection suddenly twisted, revealing a scene deep in the Nine Nether Abyss: a body exactly the same as Xiaobai's natural body was being locked in the core of chaos by nine star chains.
The vengeful spirits in Xiao Bai's body suddenly wailed collectively, and some kind of resonance made her spit out a mouthful of golden blood. The blood fell to the ground and turned into living golden threads, quickly outlining a huge formation covering the entire Ruins of Fallen Gods.
"The world is our prison..." Nan Ningxia's sword tip touched the golden line, and his face suddenly changed. "This is not a warning, this is the current situation. We are all in a cage designed by some existence."
Li Xiaoran suddenly tore open his sleeves, revealing the mark on the inside of his arm that was the same as the Xiaobai chain: "I remember where I've seen this seal. A few years ago, I accidentally entered a time rift and there was an organization that called itself 'The Order'."
Before he finished speaking, the entire ruins suddenly sank. A bottomless passage appeared under everyone's feet, and the familiar feeling of weightlessness came over them.
This is the sign that the forced teleportation array is being activated.
"The Nine Nether Abyss is actively summoning us." Xiaobai clenched the fragment of Chaos Iron while falling, watching it reflect his gradually changing pupils, "No, it is summoning the complete me.
