Free Web NovelChapter 648: Chapter 197: Fusion Begins, Ever-Changing (Part 2)
The mysterious mist swirled around, the vegetation was blurred, yet a breathtaking milky white celestial pool appeared before everyone.
On the celestial pool, a fairy was punting a Lan Zhou across the clear water, covering her mouth with a giggle as she saw the newcomers.
On that celestial pool, a gigantic peach tree stood, its fruits already large and tender, seemingly at the peak of the harvesting season.
A fairy in white approached the peach tree, raised her hand to pick the largest Immortal Peach, then sailed to the boy at the pool’s edge, offering the peach to him.
Peng Mingyi accepted the peach, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he took a mystical Black Lotus from his bosom and kneeled by the pool’s edge, slowly inserting the Black Lotus into the water amidst the sweet smiles of the fairies.
As it was inserted, the entire pool began to bubble.
Then, Peng Mingyi raised the peach and took a bite.
Bang!
Bang!
The entire Immortal Realm suddenly began to undergo a transformation.
The great Immortal, seated on a floating cloud cushion, seemed to gain some sort of power, hastily standing and walking deeper into the Immortal Realm, his figure soon disappearing.
Soon after, the dolls who were previously laughing behind the Immortal also lined up and went afar.
Then, the fairy punting on the Jasper Pool halted her boat and docked, her delicate feet stepping onto the soil, following closely behind the dolls...
...
Elsewhere, in the deepest part of Fujiang Path.
It was an ancient village hidden amidst dense mist.
Some villagers were sleeping, smiles on their lips, but their smiles were filled with desire.
As they smiled, pitch-black saliva like ink dripped from their mouths.
From within the strange dense fog, a bizarre "hiss" sound was heard, as if some unimaginably large serpent was slithering...
On another side, a peculiar snorting sound came from a Pig.
Under the influence of these sounds, many people in dreams frantically stuffed anything they could touch into their mouths—be it soil, stones, dog feces, blades, or any other object...
Of course, besides the serpent and Pig, there were also many peculiar creatures, such as mice and rabbits...
However, at this moment, all the animals suddenly ceased their movement, then collectively proceeded towards the depths of the ancient village.
Accompanying them were many villagers who slept within their dreams.
...
Fujiang Ghost Street...
Zhong Mansion.
The man in the Red Robe sensed the disturbances and commotion from the depths and sighed softly.
"It has begun."
...
Along Fujiang Path and Hidden Dragon Path, the ends of both Ghost Streets were already crowded with people.
Mindlessly, these people continued moving forward, colliding into the end.
Amid the Hidden Dragon Path crowd was a man clad in a red Funeral Robe;
floating Human Head Lanterns;
and a water-dripping, long-soaked corpse, its skin deathly pale, completely devoid of any fairy-like appearance.
Among the sleepwalking people on Fujiang Path, serpents slithered;
various animals such as rabbits and mice ran through them, seeming chaotic and terrifying, yet somehow collectively forming a "Beast Herd";
Pigs, however, stayed independently at the back, snorting loudly, with pallid smoke billowing from their nostrils. Enveloped by the smoke, those people who seemed like walking corpses grew louder in their cries, driven by extreme hunger to plunge forward.
This scene, grand, epic, bizarre, and yet terrifyingly uncanny.
As the crowd grew to an exaggerated level, the end of the Ghost Street finally revealed itself.
It was two towering, cloud-reaching, mottled Bronze Gates amid lingering gray mist.
The rings upon the gates had decayed and could hardly be seen clearly, showing signs of long neglect.
This gate, long existing in time, had an indeterminate period of existence.
At this moment, Fujiang Path and Hidden Dragon Path both revealed their shapes.
In the instant following, people swarmed the Bronze Gate, striving to push it open.
Yet the door remained motionless.
Mere moments later, it seemed they had triggered some rules.
Everyone who touched the Bronze Gate began to fall with a wretched scream, and despite being dead, they seemed to continue dying.
The ground quickly piled up with a mound of corpses.
The man in the red funeral robe observed the Bronze Gate with a sinister smile.
The Exotic Beasts on the other side also watched intently.
For a long time...
The man in the funeral robe and the giant serpent sensed a timely opportunity and moved towards the Bronze Gate together.
The remaining Human Head Lanterns, Leaking Corpse, and the Exotic Beasts, with the Pig, continued to wait.
Under countless assaults from the dead, the Bronze Gate felt as though it were "temporarily filled to capacity," not because it had lost its function, but simply it could not accommodate any more in that brief moment.
And now, the man in the funeral robe ascended, stepping on the eerie staircase of corpses and placing his hand on the Bronze Giant Gate, unleashing powerful energy as if to breach the gate and attack the serpent.
The giant serpent twisted its body, slithering along the bones, then spewed thick black liquid from its mouth, the liquid hissing onto the Bronze Giant Gate as it sought to corrode the gate to attack the man in the funeral robe behind it.
The lotus had been planted into the Jasper Pool, marking a massive violation by Miracle Beast Garden against Lianyi House.
According to the rules, if an Evil Ghost Tool directly attacks an Evil Ghost, it will provoke mutual attacks between the two.
At this moment, the lotus was emitting a bubbling sound within the Jasper Pool, as if launching "innumerable attacks" with every heartbeat, ensuring that Lianyi House would launch countless attacks against Miracle Beast Garden.
