Chapter 697: Lifelong Enemy
“Buzz!!”
While Jiang Qiu'e was surprised, the thunderous roar caused by the Spirit Refining Tower had not yet stopped.
The oppressive force of the space vibration was astonishing. The three Burning Angel disciples all took half a step back, and the rune light around them twisted and changed.
The two-dimensional painting where the young man was holding the lion was not affected at all, and it was suspended in silence in the chaos.
But when he saw this huge dark tower, the young man who controlled the lion had a look of inexplicable surprise in his eyes.
"What is this?" He looked up in confusion.
The old man beside him was also bewildered. "We can't investigate it, and we can't see its specific appearance, but what we can confirm is that this tower has a divine aura flowing through it. It's probably the power of a certain god."
So, does Xia Feng actually have a way to resist the purple mist? The black-robed old man kept looking at the Tongtian Tower that stood between heaven and earth.
Xia Feng and the three women had already disappeared in front of the vortex at the tower gate.
However, it was also because of the appearance of the black tower that the outer city's purple mist was temporarily driven back to the inner city, and everyone could see clearly now—
On the streets of the outer city, more and more people are climbing out of the air-raid shelters and underground safe houses.
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Although the people were all infected by the purple mist, there was nothing unusual. They were at a loss as to what was happening, some were terrified and relieved at having narrowly escaped death, some were lovers hugging each other and crying with joy, and some were panicked mothers rocking their crying babies. These all seemed to be the normal reactions of people who had survived a disaster.
But the strange thing was that after these 600,000 people came to their senses, they seemed to have a unified goal. They actually lined up in long queues on the city streets that were interconnected in all directions. They did not need any command at all and were as orderly as ants.
Slowly walked towards the Tower of Babel that reached the sky in the inner city.
Even in this long queue, you can see babies in diapers crawling on the ground, and after a while they gradually learn to walk and stand up straight. Lame old people also unleash their potential and quickly go from limping to walking briskly.
As for the disabled old lady who lost both legs, a strong man with tattoos on his arms and a face full of flesh carried her up, and she lined up politely in the long queue and moved forward slowly.
At the border of the outer city, various forces looked at this strange scene in amazement.
“As expected.”
The black-robed old man narrowed his cloudy eyes and spoke hoarsely, "Although these people's souls haven't been replaced, their minds no longer belong to them, just like they've been possessed. Furthermore, this ability can silently inherit the original owner's memories, emotions, abilities, and social relationships, which is perhaps even more terrifying than possessing a body."
The ability to possess other people's bodies does exist in this world.
However, possession means occupying the target's body and replacing the target's soul. In most cases, it is impossible to inherit the original owner's memories, emotions, etc.
Unless one has special abilities, there is a chance that one can absorb part of the original owner's memory.
However, no matter how perfect the possession is, the soul must be replaced. This will be detected by special means to determine whether the body has changed hands.
But the beings eroded by the purple mist—both their bodies and souls—remained completely unchanged. They remembered their families and friends, maintained their emotional connections, and, if possible, were still able to fulfill their roles in social relationships, without any abnormalities.
But if necessary, these victims will most likely not hesitate to wield their knives against their family and friends.
Xia Feng withdrew his gaze from outside the tower.
Inside the tower, as usual, thick, dripping blood-beast mist filled the air, like a dense swarm of bloodthirsty beasts, with strange whispers and roars echoing from all directions of the space.
The environment is creepy.
However, with Xia Feng's order, these blood beasts would not attack or devour the three women.
But when Cha Naixue looked at the blood-colored mist floating around her, her whole body subconsciously stiffened and goosebumps covered her body.
She had naturally seen many forms of blood beasts before, and the Black Moon Church also had relevant laboratories for the study of evil forces.
But I have never seen so many blood beasts before, which is comparable to the purple mist sea covering the entire city outside.
They both have the same terrifying evil fog power, and no one knows who will be more powerful.
Sure enough, the next moment, the outer wall of the Soul Refining Tower turned purple, and wisps of mist seeped in from the outside, quickly and greedily rushing towards Xia Feng and the other three.
The purple mist was truly pervasive, ignoring all seals and spatial barriers. Without conceptual skills, even with a divine object like the Spirit Refining Tower, it was still impossible to stop the purple mist's penetration.
But fortunately, this purple mist that terrified everyone encountered its lifelong enemy today—
Blood beast fog sea!
The purple mist roared violently like a hundred thousand monsters attacking the tower, but as soon as it rushed into the sea of blood beast fog, it evaporated rapidly with a sizzling sound, disintegrated, and finally condensed again.
All the purple mist that flowed into the blood beast fog sea turned into blood-colored mist and joined the blood beast family.
The blood beast devours everything, and it is not in vain.
Even these evil mists that can assimilate human thoughts cannot withstand the blood beast's domineering level.
"The greater the impact of the immortal words on reality, the more mental energy is consumed."
Jiang Qiu'e frowned slightly, her face starting to turn pale. She said in a deep voice, "Your tower is too big. With my current mental strength, I can only hold it for half an hour at most."
Is this all the time? Xia Feng fell into deep thought. The purpose of using the magic words to conceal the true appearance was to prevent any big shot from recognizing the origin of this tower.
After all, the Spirit Refining Tower belongs to the Evil Demon, and the Evil Demon is a mysterious existence as famous as the Void Emperor. If some big shot recognizes the Spirit Refining Tower and then thinks that he is the Evil Demon himself, then it will be troublesome.
In other words, it is best to come up with a solution within half an hour.
"By the way, can't this black tower be made smaller? That way, the coverage area of Jiang Qiu'e's fairy words will be smaller." Cha Naixue asked doubtfully.
"In fact, it's still not the Black Tower's complete form." Xia Feng shook his head. "Only when the Black Tower grows bigger will I be able to mobilize more Blood Beasts. At this level, it can barely resist the erosion of the external purple mist."
Xia Feng frowned and fell into distress.
Because of the Spirit Refining Tower, two sky-high towers appeared in this vast city standing on the Antarctic snowfield, facing each other.
The Tower of Babel, a magnificent cylindrical tower with a dark and silvery glow, rises thousands of meters into the sky, exuding a majestic aura.
The Spirit Refining Tower also reaches into the sky. Its entire body is as black as ink, but it is hazy and its specific shape cannot be seen clearly.
The strange phenomenon in heaven and earth caused by the second Tower of Babel falling to the ground did not end in just a few seconds.
It was like dropping several nuclear bombs on the South Pole of the planet, and violent waves of air continued to spread out for thousands of miles.
The continental plates near Antarctica can vaguely feel slight tremors.
Li Tian City, located near the equator, was safe and sound, but the many venerables who had gathered on this planet for hunting Sirius or other reasons could clearly sense it.
A very terrifying and abnormal divine fluctuation came from the extreme south, sweeping the world!
They all put down what they were doing, looked towards the south, and disappeared from the spot in the next moment.
