As the authority derived from the Goddess Beiling Seal integrated into the Divine Kingdom Central Hub of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, it was as if a comet flying from the boundless deep space was captured by the sun's gravity, entering a specific orbit and beginning to operate orderly. The aura emanating from the Divine Kingdom Central Hub became increasingly tyrannical and violent.
The massive heart at the very center thumped violently.
Terrifying high temperatures, enough to ignite a city, were compressed into swirling vortices, emitting brilliant radiance. The enormous cave was completely illuminated, like the inner lining of a furnace, enveloped in a color resembling molten iron.
Amidst the endless shifting yellow sands, the figures that had been appearing and disappearing intermittently could no longer maintain their form under the surging Spiritual Energy sweep, dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It actually succeeded so easily? It really is all thanks to Hong Bian Monk!" Lu Yibei looked at her hands and couldn't help but exclaiming, "Without his generosity, I'm afraid I would have suffered greatly this time."
The process of integrating the authority into the Divine Kingdom Central Hub lasted only a few breaths, and in these brief moments, she felt waves of intense weakness, as if she had stayed up all night for a week straight.
Her hands twitched and spasmed, her dark skin cracking inch by inch like dry earth, with golden-red flames flickering within the grotesque fissures.
"......"
If she hadn't gained control of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate and forcibly integrated the Goddess Beiling Seal's authority into it, the damage she would have sustained would probably have been even more severe, right?
Perhaps her entire body would have turned to charcoal... Lu «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» Yibei thought.
Having just advanced to Calamity level, her body had not yet undergone a complete qualitative change from prolonged immersion in Calamity-level Spiritual Energy. Without control over the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, it would have been a bit too difficult to bear that power when her own authority integrated into the Divine Kingdom Central Hub.
Can you force-feed a newborn baby a bowl of highly tonic soup made from Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum striatum, Astragalus membranaceus, and century-old wild ginseng?
The saying 'the weak cannot withstand too much tonic' probably refers to this.
However, with the suppression of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate's control, based on Hong Bian's authority, the power that instantly descended and was enough to 'over-tonic' Lu Yibei to death did not cause her much harm.
And now, after integrating her own authority into the Divine Kingdom Central Hub and passing the final dangerous hurdle, a very subtle feeling quietly arose in her consciousness.
She felt as if the operational hub of the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate had become a part of her body.
An extra-large, external heart.
Every violent thump of the Divine Kingdom Central Hub, and the surging Spiritual Energy it stirred up, felt as clear as her own pulse.
But... why do I feel like this is increasingly developing towards an evil god? Lu Yibei thought to herself.
Although she hadn't seen them with her own eyes, through the si ye book and the Great Serpent God's memories, she vaguely understood that for some urban legend that could be called "evil gods," their "organs" were often not within their bodies, but rather independently dispersed in various places as specific phenomena or objects. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
For example, the peach tree in Taoyuan, which was half-dead from being tormented by Cuan Yang and the Tang City urban barrier, was, in a sense, also a bodily "organ" of Ju Meng.
——————
After adjusting her state slightly, Lu Yibei's thoughts shifted. She deliberately exposed a flaw, loosening the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate's suppression of the Shaman King's invasion a little.
Thus, like a beast that smelled blood, the Shaman King's authority, hidden in the shadows, immediately couldn't hold back and emitted strong fluctuations.
An unsettling, unusual Spiritual Energy fluctuation quietly arose within the cave where the Divine Kingdom Central Hub was located.
Looking around, familiar streaks of dark red light, like steam rising from the ground under high heat, rose from the gaps in the sparkling sand, spreading into the air, and re-condensing upon contact with the operating incantations.
Like mold growing on food, the malicious blood containing the Shaman King's authority manifested countless twisted, bizarre, radial patterns on the incantations surrounding the Divine Kingdom Central Hub.
It was as if some colossal entity was stirring in the shadows; though unseen, it was clearly perceptible that the Shaman King had descended upon this place.
Lu Yibei frowned and pondered for a moment, then silently activated the special ability of her eyes, and then she saw the Shaman King.
Although it was just a phantom figure, hovering around the Divine Kingdom Central Hub, seemingly ready to dissipate at any moment, with blood-colored flames rising from its entire body, the faintly visible double pupils on that phantom allowed Lu Yibei, who had experienced direct eye contact with the Shaman King, to identify its identity at a glance.
As that figure moved, reaching out to stroke the brightly operating incantations around the Divine Kingdom Central Hub, the dark red patterns covering the incantations violently writhed, emitting a sound like strong acid dissolving metal, and the power of the miracle flower within the Divine Kingdom Central Hub gradually dissipated.
The speed was not fast, carrying a hint of cautiousness.
As if having reservations, with the "delicacy" before him, he only dared to taste it in very small bites, so much so that only a negligible portion of the Goddess Beiling Seal's authority, integrated as a "toxin," flowed to the Shaman King.
Moreover, perhaps sensing something unusual, the devouring quickly stopped.
Not enough, completely not enough!
If the Shaman King reacted and deliberately suppressed it, it would be impossible to eradicate all the "seeds" scattered throughout the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate.
It seems I need to increase the bait's trickery... Lu Yibei thought, and with a shift of her mind, she completely released the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate's suppression of the Shaman King's invasion.
In an instant, everything related to the miracle flower, contained within the Divine Kingdom Jade Gate, was presented without reservation before the Shaman King.
The miracle flower, flickering with sparks, quietly bloomed, within easy reach!
That feeling was like a beautiful girl with an ethereal appearance, petite and easily pushed over, wearing revealing and sensual clothes, carrying a bag full of gold bars in a transparent bag, walking into a secluded street late at night, a street full of criminals, lunatics, and addicts.
No more pretending, I'm laying it all out, I'm trying to tempt you into 'crime', I'm just asking if you dare?!
But, you have to think carefully!
That's a beautiful girl who can carry a full bag, about half a ton of gold, with one hand and wander around!
As Lu Yibei released the suppression, the Shaman King's Spiritual Energy fluctuations surging around the Divine Kingdom Central Hub became restless.
She could clearly feel the Shaman King's anger, irritability, and hesitation contained within the restless Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
It was as if facing a high-stakes gamble where winning meant turning the tables and instantly becoming famous, while losing meant instant death and having one's ashes mixed with rice.
This feeling was simply too wonderful!
The Flower City Torment King, who had always been adept at tormenting people with schemes, for the first time so "arrogantly" used an open scheme to torment someone, and the experience was excellent!
However, she had still underestimated the Shaman King's self-control.
After waiting for a moment.
The Shaman King continued to pace restlessly around the Divine Kingdom Central Hub, still not beginning further devouring. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"......"
No way? This still doesn't tempt you?
Even Tang Sanzang, who just came out of the Daughter Kingdom, would probably give you a thumbs up! Lu Yibei thought.
Although being in a stalemate with the Shaman King like this, from a certain perspective, did achieve the goal of preventing those "seeds" from spreading the distorted miracle flower to every corner of Yumen Pass, buying Shen Baiwei some time to organize the Miracle Order.
But success and great success are different.
For Shen Baiwei to develop the Miracle Order throughout the entire Divine Kingdom Jade Gate would take at least a month or so, and she couldn't possibly keep playing this extreme tug-of-war with the Shaman King here, could she?
If possible, it would be better to find a way to successfully "poison" the Shaman King, causing him enough damage to completely eradicate the distorted miracle flower.
Thinking of this, Lu Yibei's thoughts shifted, and she made the entire Divine Kingdom Central Hub active.
In an instant, the entire cave housing the Divine Kingdom Central Hub was enveloped in blazing fire, like a massive furnace whose temperature had risen to the extreme, emitting dazzling light.
She consciously guided and actively pushed the miracle flower, which contained Hong Bian's authority, towards that blood-colored phantom...
At that instant, the Shaman King's Spiritual Energy fluctuations surging within the Divine Kingdom Central Hub briefly stagnated, as if he had completely unexpected this situation and was stunned.
At that moment, he even had trouble distinguishing whether he was going to devour the miracle flower, or if the miracle flower was going to devour him.
However.
After waiting for a moment, the blood-colored phantom remained unmoved.
"I'm going... Are you capable or not? You weak dog!"
Lu Yibei shouted at the blood-colored phantom, then expressionlessly continued to push the miracle flower towards it.
If the Shaman King didn't move, she'd push again. If the Shaman King still didn't move, she'd keep pushing.
If she hadn't yet skillfully mastered the God Kingdom and was worried about losing control and being unable to interrupt at a critical moment, she would have even wanted to directly infuse the power of the miracle flower into the sealed Shaman King's body.
After several repetitions, the phantom hovering around the Divine Kingdom Central Hub finally changed.
The blood-colored patterns attached to the incantations were like scraps of cloth rising into the air, covering the blood-colored phantom, slowly contracting and condensing into a rain-like pulp that poured down, splashing onto the ground and emitting the smell of wolf smoke and blood.
The blood surged, raging and growing abnormally, causing the twisted and hideous face of the blood-colored phantom to gradually come alive.
Then, he opened his eyes and cast a fierce and brutal gaze at Lu Yibei.
His patience had reached its limit...
He, the mighty Shaman King Que Pi Jia, had dominated his entire life, infamous, with countless high-level urban legend and Psychics perishing by his hand. Although he was temporarily a prisoner, his spirit remained undiminished.
How could he tolerate a mere newly advanced Calamity repeatedly engaging in such clearly insulting and provocative behavior?
He couldn't tolerate it!
This was no longer just "poisoning"; it was practically holding his head down and force-feeding him deadly poison while shouting, "Eat! Why won't you eat?!"
Since that was the case, he might as well take her down with him!
Lu Yibei, "......"
