Chapter 157 How much did these special effects cost?
"A body that has slumbered for a thousand years awakens from decaying branches and withered leaves. It is the mournful sigh of the nightingale that breaks the spell."
The song began.
In the scene, a towering sea of fire, formed by the convergence of molten lava, is constantly filled with raging flames.
Eleven massive stone sword pillars, each tens of meters high, stand in orderly fashion above the sea of fire, their bodies covered with mysterious crystal chains, exuding a divine aura.
A beautiful young girl with a human head and a snake's body was suspended in mid-air, bound by eleven mysterious crystal chains.
The camera zooms in rapidly.
Suddenly, a beautiful young girl with a human head and a snake's body opened her eyes. Her waist-length hair moved without wind, and her face showed a fierce aura as if she wanted to break free from the chains. Her green and yellow aura stirred up the sea of fire.
"It's a painting by Chen Xi!"
"My baby looks so cute, I love it!"
"Look, it says Zhao Ling'er on it!"
"I almost forgot, but when Xiao Jingyu first appeared, it seems that three words were mentioned."
"I just went back and checked, his name is Li Xiaoyao."
Countless comments flew by, some people enjoyed watching and chatting awkwardly, but the vast majority of first-time viewers disliked it and simply blocked the comments.
"Who sealed the forgotten sword? Following the sound of the flute and the hoofbeats, I've found you."
The enormous snake tail lashed out repeatedly, unleashing a torrent of energy that spread wildly in all directions.
The sea of fire raged, and countless rocks collapsed, creating a scene of utter devastation.
Just as Zhao Ling'er, with her human head and snake body, was about to escape, a colossal sword pierced through the air and hung upside down above the sea of fire.
The sword energy surged and spread outwards, the eleven sword pillars stopped shaking, the sea of fire stopped rolling, and in an instant the earth-shaking momentum collapsed.
This sword can slay demons and evil spirits, dissolve nothingness, and suppress the universe!
The overwhelming aura emanating from Zhao Ling'er vanished instantly, and the Xuanjing Chains once again firmly bound her. Powerless, a trace of resentment flashed across her eyes before she fell into a deep sleep.
"Awesome! These special effects are absolutely amazing!"
"Sword Immortal!"
"I now seriously doubt that this is a music video at all!"
"Feel the same!"
…
"The most glorious sacrifice is the hero's destiny; the heart weeps the moment the sword is drawn."
The scene shifts.
A woman in a purple dress appears, carrying a long sword two feet wide on her back, seemingly made specifically for women. At her waist hangs a nine-foot-long soft whip made of snakeskin woven with gold thread. The words "Lin Yueru" are also marked in seal script on the screen.
As the earth shook violently, she sat cross-legged atop the sea of fire, forcefully flinging Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er away. Her swollen eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions: reluctance, blessings, deep love, and liberation.
The three sword pillars behind her collapsed with a crash, and countless cracked stones buried her as if they were being cast into a monument.
"It's pop diva Xu Huijing!"
"As expected of a superstar, I could read more than a dozen different emotions in her eyes before she died!"
The scene shifts again, and at the same time, after a brief build-up, the chorus begins!
"Life is to prove that love exists, and that life is even greater after the fire has burned."
A man in white, with red and swollen eyes and disheveled hair, tightly embraced the dead, beautiful woman in his arms.
The woman's expression was serene, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and a faint purplish-black demonic aura emanating from her body dissipated.
Jiang Ming.
Women's Garden.
"Killing is to celebrate the magnificence before destruction. Night is the wolf's deep eyes, waiting alone for dawn."
Surrounded by numerous sword cultivators in green robes, the white-robed man roared to the sky, transforming himself into thousands of flying swords. His sword intent crisscrossed, running rampant in the narrow passage, with sword shadows flying everywhere!
"Damn it!"
"Jiang Ming is Sun Youlin!"
"The woman in the courtyard is Shen Yun!"
"To be able to shoot a music video to the point where I feel the cost is absolutely incredible!"
"The special effects are amazing... holy crap!"
Before the person could finish speaking, the scene changed.
A man with disheveled hair stood on the ground, his hands clasped together. A vast ocean surged beneath his feet, and jets of water shot into the sky. Dark clouds quickly gathered overhead, accompanied by thunderous roars!
A nine-headed demonic serpent burst forth from the ocean, unleashing countless bolts of lightning, and finally, bearing the immense power of the thunder, transformed into a towering dragon.
Countless oceans converged, destroying towns and drowning mortals, while monstrous dragons and pythons ran rampant, causing immense suffering to all living beings!
The leader of the Moon Worship Cult.
Water Demon Beast.
"It's Gu Gang!"
