The butterfly's wings fluttered gently again.
Then, the black and white edges on its wings became even more blurred, and a hazy gray mist boiled over them. The concepts of time and space seemed to become blurred as well. East, west, south, north, up, down, front, back, left, and right all became blurred.
It was as if this space and time had been transformed into a sheet of paper.
Then, Hou Wenjie saw a fish, a huge fish that blotted out the sky.
It seemed to have come from across dimensions, or it seemed to have been there since time immemorial, never having moved, as if time itself had twisted into a loop around it.
The giant fish had countless eyes, each filled with teeth. When closed, the teeth resembled a large expanse of white, and when slightly opened, they were sharp and interlocking like canine fangs.
The monster's upper eyelids were full of folds, from which crimson tentacles grew. Those tentacles looked so terrifying, filled with a bloodthirsty feeling that made one's soul tremble.
"It's it, it's it!" The almost delirious voice came from the back of the hearse to Hou Wenjie's ears.
Upon seeing the monster for the first time, Hou Wenjie recalled a passage.
In the Northern Ocean there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans.
It transformed into a bird, its name being Peng. The back of Peng is so vast, its length immeasurable! When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
Before Hou Wenjie could think any further, he saw all the big fish's eyes looking at him.
Then, he felt an unprecedented heaviness, as if all of eternity had been added to his body.
Without hesitation, Hou Wenjie chanted, "The Yellow Springs descend upon the world!"
In an instant, the Yellow Springs surged, and turbid waves roared. Hou Wenjie put away the Ruyi Qiankun Bag and stood on the Yazi Ghost Ship with Qian Jiaming.
The strange realm formed its own space-time, and the pressure from the giant fish dissipated instantly.
The big fish seemed to have no intention of letting go of its prey. With a flick of its tail, it plunged headfirst into the Yellow Springs.
In an instant, a raging tide surged, and turbulent waves rose to the sky.
Squads of ghostly soldiers surged toward the giant fish, their weapons imbued with the malevolent energy of ancient times, as they all slashed at it.
But in the next instant, the fish underwent a strange change. All its eyes closed, and scarlet tentacles covered its entire body, as if it had grown a coat of crimson feathers!
Its body twisted rapidly, transforming into a bird's form! Its head split open again, revealing eyes, while its tail sprouted colorful tentacles that looked like the most beautiful feathers, vibrant and dazzling.
This giant fish, transformed into a bird, leaped up from the Yellow Springs and soared upwards.
Its five-colored tentacles, resembling tail feathers, swept past the phantoms of the ghostly army like lightning!
Those once menacing and menacing army of ghost soldiers vanished like bubbles under the five-colored tentacles, as if made of paper.
This scene caused Hou Wenjie's pupils to shrink slightly.
On Earth, there is a novel called "Investiture of the Gods," in which there is a character named Kong Xuan, the first peacock in the world. He has a supernatural power called "Five-Colored Divine Light," which is said to be able to sweep away all things in the world, and there is nothing within the Five Elements that he cannot capture!
He was eventually subdued by the Buddhist saint Zhunti Daoren and given the title of Peacock King.
Could the large bird before us be related to the mythical Peacock King?
The thought flashed through Hou Wenjie's mind: regardless of whether it was a Kun or a Peacock King, he had to get rid of it.
But the moment Hou Wenjie had that thought, he felt a powerful and eerie force descend upon him!
In the instant the eeriness took hold, his emotions were amplified infinitely, as if a thousand thoughts were born.
Those countless thoughts were all despair. Despair for oneself, despair for others, despair for the whole world!
This despair came so suddenly, yet it seemed as if it was meant to be.
It seems to have always been deeply hidden in the deepest part of human genes and blood, spanning millions of years from the primitive era of eating raw meat and drinking blood. It has always been hidden there, concealed in the deepest part of the body, until it erupts at this moment!
If it were an ordinary person, or an ordinary ghost hunter, they might be disheartened at this moment and choose to commit suicide.
But how could Hou Wenjie be an ordinary person?
As countless thoughts arose, the spiritual light in his mind shone brightly, illuminating all the acupoints on his body!
Then, he saw a strange mass attached to the Jiaji acupoint on his body, its surface appearing crimson.
Under the intense sexual light, the strange object stopped writhing and was swallowed whole by the black python controlled by Hou Wenjie, which then sent it into his sea of consciousness. The vortex in his sea of consciousness spun rapidly and completely shattered the strange object.
During the process of blending, Hou Wenjie naturally gained a new understanding of it.
It is a strange creature transformed from the Crimson Gu. The Crimson Gu is the same as the Dragon Gu that Hou Wenjie found on Qian Jiaming before, and both belong to the nine orifice Gu of the human body.
Located at the Jiaji acupoints on the human spine, it can cause the heart to beat rapidly and blood to surge. This can lead to emotional instability and loss of self-control!
Hou Wenjie's mind returned to reality in the next instant. Looking at the large bird circling in the air, he chanted, "Moon Wheel Slash!"
As he finished speaking, a wave in the Yellow Springs surged dozens of meters high, and the ghost soldier Cao Tianbao rode on the wave.
His eyes gleamed with a cold light, and he held a moon wheel in his hand. It seemed that he had triggered the mark of the underworld, and the sound of eerie chants came from the nothingness around him.
"The dark and desolate underworld, the Yellow Springs and the Earthly Branches!"
A hundred cunning trials, a thousand autumns and ten thousand ages!
There is no turning back before the Mirror of Retribution!
May you be forever bound to the Avici Hell!
May you be forever bound to the Avici Hell!
…”
The endless chanting of ghostly spirits, like a scroll of netherworld prayer, is a prayer to the beings in the dark. Under this prayer, the ghostly body of Yin Bing Cao Tianbao becomes even more agile, as if it is imbued with the vicissitudes of eternity, and all things in heaven and earth express its merits!
Yin Bing Cao Baotian had reached the pinnacle of his power, and endless destructive light erupted from the moon wheel in his hand, unleashing an earth-shattering aura that swept towards the giant fish.
Moreover, Cao Baotian's body was also connected to a faintly visible void, where the sound of iron chains sliding inside could be heard, and countless evil monsters were crying and wailing!
That desolate place was the Black Rope Hell under the control of Emperor Song, where all evil spirits suffered the punishment of having their tongues pulled out and eyes gouged out.
Cao Tianbao unleashed a powerful slash, seemingly capable of shattering the heavens.
This strike, imbued with the power of the Netherworld Ritual Tablet and linked to the Black Rope Hell, is like a true moon in the underworld, carrying the power of death, about to reap the great fish before it.
In that instant, the five-colored tentacles of the giant fish shone brightly again, and amidst the chaotic five-colored light, a blue light also emerged!
This azure light is so close to the azure-white light of the primordial Qi!
A bluish light swept down, reflecting off the dark moon.
For a moment, heaven and earth fell silent, and the void collapsed.
