Chapter 503 The End of Everything
In the mother pool, Lu Wenwu's breath was stuck in his throat, and it took a long time before he finally exhaled.
The "ground" beneath his feet was pulsating with a certain rhythm, and its silvery-white roots penetrated the earth's crust and into the core.
The trunk of the Guixu ancient tree, which has become so huge that it has broken the concept of unit, hangs down like a frozen Milky Way, and its crown tears the entire upper space into a scaly cloud like broken gold foil.
When he raised his head, his eyes that could see through the underworld were filled with countless layers of branches, each branch emitting a cold white halo like frost and snow, weaving into a dome above his head that blocked out the sun.
The surface of the bark is flowing with the luster of mother-of-pearl, as if connecting the sky and the earth, supporting the brilliant galaxy above the treetops, and maintaining the endless veins between the roots.
Lu Wenwu took a step forward and came close to the Guixu ancient tree. The oppressive feeling that was enough to collapse mountains and split rivers hit him in the face.
The ancient trees in Guixu truly connect heaven and earth.
But it is not supporting.
But it is devouring.
Swallowing the billions of miles of veins of the Divine Weapon Continent, swallowing the powerful heavenly way that is enough to give birth to true immortals and gods.
On the bark, wisps of asphalt-like black mist seeped out from the faintly cracked lines, winding along the trunk like thousands of biting centipedes.
The roaring sound of the roots of the Guixu ancient tree piercing the earth veins never stopped, and every once in a while, the rock formations beneath his feet would vibrate like bones breaking.
That meant that roots buried deep within the mantle were sucking, completely draining a vein of earth, causing it to collapse completely, never to awaken again.
Lu Wenwu suddenly realized that the growth period of the Guixu ancient tree had almost reached its limit, much longer than previously expected.
The laws of nature on this continent have long been on the verge of collapse, and the earth's veins have long since withered.
Today's Divine Weapon Continent is nothing more than a fungus plaque parasitic on this giant tree.
The vast continent that seems to be boundless is nothing but debris accumulated in the folds of tree bark.
While he was contemplating, the treetops suddenly shook off a cloud of light dust that was invisible to ordinary practitioners who had reached the divine realm.
Lu Wenwu did not seal his body, allowing the seemingly holy substance to enter his body.
When the seemingly holy fluorescent powder drifted into his nostrils, he seemed to taste the sweetness of the ice cream melting in his mouth at the alley in his childhood, and the surprise he felt when he ate egg-filled pancakes for the first time. Countless noisy thoughts suddenly rose in his heart.
In an instant, every crack on the Guixu ancient tree began to ooze out a substance like moonlight.
Millions of translucent flower buds are suspended between the branches, swaying gently with the non-existent air currents.
In a trance, Lu Wenwu seemed to see countless smiling faces flashing in the veins of the glass texture. The aroma of egg-filled pancakes, which could be called perfect, climbed up through his nose to his brain, almost making him sink into it.
"A giant tree that can corrupt the world is truly terrifying."
While muttering, the great magic of eating gods was in operation.
All foreign substances that entered Lu Wenwu's body turned into ashes, leaving only the purest energy to be refined and integrated into every corner of his body.
When the force that was enough to affect his mind gradually faded and his vision became clear again, he suddenly noticed the raised lines on the surface of the tree trunk.
Looking closely, those seemingly naturally formed gullies actually form countless elongated and distorted human-shaped reliefs.
A face the size of a knuckle swam beneath the glistening white bark, its bulging eyeballs protruding through a translucent barrier.
Dark mucus oozed from the cracks squeezed out of the faces, and some dark purple tissue resembling blood vessels was slowly growing in the shadows.
With the help of the ferocious beast's perception, Lu Wenwu could see the flow of energy clearly.
Those faintly glowing energy veins, like the dense synapses in a living organism, constantly wriggle and twitch within the tree trunk.
Lu Wenwu hesitated for a moment, then slowly placed his palm on it.
He had already repaired the core node of the Guixu Formation.
It is not difficult to repair it. Even a half-baked formation master like him who reads books on the spot can do it easily.
Now, only one step remains before the Guixu ancient tree starts growing again.
Thoroughly connect the two and reconnect them together.
Completing this step means only one thing.
Destruction of the world!
It was not the destruction of the world that Lu Wenwu had previously ridiculed.
This time, it is the true destruction of the world.
He wanted to activate this formation himself, fully ripen the Guixu ancient tree, and then destroy the true demon seed.
Billions of lives will die in his hands and turn into that tiny, extremely precious seed.
Lu Wenwu thought of many ways to try to save the people on this continent.
But how to save it?
The disease has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow and is incurable.
Even the great immortals cannot save him.
If we put them all into a new, blank slate, where would they get their food, clothing, and daily necessities? How would we rebuild human civilization and social structures?
After the magic weapons are gone and the wars are no longer caused, with the stability of society, the descendants will continue to multiply and the population will continue to expand exponentially.
The soul of every newborn has been completely corrupted by the power of the true devil before it is even born. They are born as disaster stars and demon stars with the thought of destroying the world, and are the minions of the true devil.
What should I do?
What's more, even if everyone's reproductive function is forcibly removed, it cannot be said that everything will be fine.
When a large number of corrupted life forms gather in one place, the true demonic power emitted from them will continue to grow, gradually expanding to the entire population, the entire world, and even polluting the way of heaven and corrupting the world.
Before Lu Wenwu thought of it, someone had already tried this method.
In the end, nothing changes except the need to destroy one more world.
When the corruption process has reached a certain level, the fate of this world and all living things is sealed.
Either they will go towards self-destruction, or they will become the real minions of the devil and help him to do evil.
Lu Wenwu has never been a soft-hearted person.
When he learned that the destruction of this world was inevitable, he had completely made up his mind.
Heartache?
pain?
Maybe both, maybe neither.
It's like saving a loved one who was bitten and scratched from a zombie.
You watched him slide into the abyss.
Looking at the hope and pleading in his eyes, he tried his best to survive, but he was still uncontrollably losing his sanity and transforming into an inhuman creature.
There's nothing you can do about it.
You even have to harden your heart and send him off personally to end his suffering.
This is Lu Wenwu’s current state of mind.
He placed his hand on the silver-white giant tree, feeling the enormous and shocking evil contained within it, and used the secret method gained by forcibly reading the soul to control the terrifying power that was enough to distort the mind.
A huge soul power spread out, piercing into the void, following the roots and crown of the Guixu ancient tree to connect the sky and the earth, running through the beginning and the end.
The Qi and blood formed a bridge in the void, and countless array patterns that were invisible to others rippled out.
After thousands of years, this ancient and dark formation was activated again.
The power from the true devil refilled every inch of the dried-up array pattern, was refined into a substance with unique power, and was poured back into the Guixu ancient tree.
At this moment, the entire giant tree began to shake violently, as if a piece of equipment had been reactivated.
Countless flowers bloomed in an instant and withered in an instant.
It seemed as if flames were burning above the pale golden crown of the tree, and huge flower buds slowly grew and took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually expanded as time went by.
At a certain moment when guiding the Guixu formation, Lu Wenwu suddenly saw his own shadow reflected in the irises of the distorted human face on the tree trunk.
His golden dragon eyes were reflected in the black amber condensed from the tree sap, with an imperceptible ink color spreading deep inside.
The annual rings hidden in the trunk of the Guixu ancient tree rotate to form countless incomprehensible, spell-like patterns.
The shadows hidden in the holy light are rewriting the fundamental logic of his behavior and cultivation, quietly replacing his cognition and trying to transform him into another person.
"How dare you!"
Lu Wenwu growled in his heart.
He heard the subtle sound of his brain boiling, which was also like the fiery steaming in his soul.
A piece of the white bark of the Guixu ancient tree suddenly peeled off, and the distorted figure that reflected his face let out a faint wail, and then completely collapsed, revealing the dark red meridians inside that were wriggling like blood vessels.
Each meridian pulsates with a frequency that does not belong to this dimension.
He realized belatedly that he had been subconsciously breathing in the rhythm of the cracking bark three minutes ago, and even his heartbeat frequency was gradually becoming consistent.
After readjusting himself, Lu Wenwu was extremely surprised.
This level of strange corruption would cause even him, the original demon who possessed the skills of body refining by conquering people with virtue and the great immortal skill of devouring gods, to sink into it without realizing it.
How can ordinary practitioners stop it!
I'm afraid that the moment the Guixu ancient tree grows up, it will be completely eroded and its consciousness will be modified, and it will become a minion of the real devil without knowing it.
"boom!"
The trunk of the Guixu ancient tree has grown and reached the maturity stage that it should have entered thousands of years ago.
This space, which had contained it for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, cracked.
When the treetops turned blood red and mercilessly shattered the space, the already shaky world barrier could no longer withstand the huge pressure and shattered layer by layer.
Lu Wenwu's body rose from the ground, passing straight through the barrier that had begun to disappear and disintegrate, and came to the boundless chaotic sea that was supposed to be reached only by ascenders, and walked onto the broken ancient starry road.
Violent spiritual energy and spatial turbulence surged and squeezed on his body surface.
The tough skin was peeling off piece by piece, and the thick dragon scales were constantly breaking, revealing the red-gold flesh underneath.
Every inch of Lu Wenwu's muscles was making a heart-wrenching tearing sound, and every bone was bearing a pressure that was enough to crush a mountain.
Relying on his incredibly strong body, he forcibly stayed in the boundless chaotic sea where only quasi-immortals and gods could barely stay for a moment, and witnessed the end of the Divine Weapon Continent.
The twisted roots of the Guixu ancient tree have spread across the entire continent, and its blood-red crown has broken through the sky.
Those branches flowing with black sticky liquid were like corrupted blood vessels, greedily sucking the collapsed Yuanli of heaven and earth.
The spiritual energy of the entire Divine Weapon Continent flows in the dark red veins transformed from the roots.
The Heavenly Dao that was originally used to support the rules of this world is now being sucked away by the tree roots, turning gray and white, and gradually losing its former magical power.
Standing in the ancient starry road, Lu Wenwu endured the pain of being cut into pieces, and two lines of blood and tears were left in his eyes of true vision.
He saw the sky fire rolling down, carrying the shattered mountains and rivers.
I saw the peaks of the Qingyao Mountains, which stretched for thousands of miles, were crumbling.
I saw the thousand-year-old black ice falling into the boiling sea of magma, and a blood mist rising that covered the sky.
The roar of the collapsing earth veins was mixed with the screams of warriors. The former palace of the Hidden Dragon Empire was disintegrating.
Countless warriors knelt on the cracked scorched earth, practicing their once invincible mind-control techniques in vain, roaring heart-wrenching howls from their throats.
The martial arts master who was powerful enough to walk in the air fell from mid-air, and could no longer burn the sky and boil the sea, or split mountains and rivers with his sword.
Lin Yingfei, with disheveled hair, tried to lift up the collapsing palace dome with his bare hands, but fell heavily back to the ground the moment he jumped.
His palms, once brimming with energy and blood, were losing their luster. His knuckles, which had once been able to pierce the void, were now unable to even crush rubble. His muscles were as shriveled and decayed as those of an ordinary old man.
In a moment, white hair suddenly appeared.
Further away, the city walls engraved with protective formations burst like fragile eggshells, and the blood-lined lines dimmed and cracked.
In the center of the continent, the pillar supporting the Ascension Platform collapsed, and the Ascension Platform, which had existed since ancient times, fell into the cracked earth.
The dissipating purple cloud is the last remaining reflection of the earth veins in the Divine Weapon Continent.
But now, it is being entangled by the roots of the ancient tree and dragged towards the abyss.
Every time the blood-red treetops in the chaotic void light up, large chunks of land collapse from the map, turning into dust in the boundless chaotic sea and disappearing without a trace.
At this moment, Lu Wenwu seemed to see Lin Yingfei questioning him and billions of lives crying blood in front of him.
His eyes closed, and an emotion called pain took root in his heart.
He heard the cries of his bones, which had been tempered by thousands of blows, on the verge of collapse. The violent force continued to tear at the wounds that were forcibly healing, and the fresh blood beads were swallowed up by nothingness as soon as they seeped out.
This powerful fighting body, which had been tempered to an incredible degree, was now covered with spider-web-like cracks.
The volume of the endless sea of blood is expanding exponentially.
Lu Wenwu has never been so hopeful as he is now, hoping that the endless sea of blood will not expand any further.
When the last piece of the continent carrying the ascension platform collapsed, the towering tree suddenly stopped, and all the colors flowed back to the top at an extremely fast speed. The rest of the tree turned gray and disintegrated into large clumps of "sawdust".
Having devoured the power of the entire world, at the top of the Guixu Ancient Tree, the huge bud that seemed to be planted in blood finally bloomed, producing a pure and flawless white flower.
Where the pure white flower was, even the space itself began to curl up and wither, only the pale golden sphere the size of a baby's fist in the center was shining brightly.
Lu Wenwu wiped the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes, dragged his almost broken body, and staggered towards that place.
In the completely collapsed world, he vaguely saw through his blurred vision something that he was determined to destroy at all costs.
The true seed of the devil!
