Chapter 1176 - 923: The Phantom of "God" (Part 2)
They, through these special anomalies, have already dispatched numerous Blood Demons to assist in occupying many small worlds, turning them into lands rampant with anomalies and extreme pollution.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. One eerie world is not terrifying, but two, three, ten, or a hundred...as long as anomalies continuously pour into the vulnerable world, polluting the small worlds, polluting their life-sustaining Spiritual Energy, polluting their faith, causing rot from within, and blocking the road to Ascension, what use is a strong outer shell?
When the soil that breeds internal power is corrupted, even Immortals will be powerless to resist the invasion!
Moreover, as more and more anomalies begin to worship the Outer Heaven Demon, exalting themselves as the supreme deity, those Immortals who lose the support of faith will naturally fall without needing to be slain.
He can imagine what such a world would be like—mortals selfishly attack and harm each other, engage in open and covert struggles, destroying everything in sight; Cultivators, whose faith has collapsed, fall into demons, engage in even more brutal fighting and plundering, massacring mortals just to become stronger, everywhere engulfed in war with smoke and miasma without a future, ultimately leading everything to destruction, becoming a haven for the Outer Heaven Demon.
He seems to already smell the tantalizing scent of corrupt power, the power making the Demon Army increasingly strong. Once everything is absorbed, it all returns to the Void, and it’s time to move on to the next target for more invasions and absorption to grow stronger.
All things in the world are a game of balance, and he hopes the scales tip in favor of the Outer Heaven Demon!
"Blood Demons are useless, then send a Skeleton General." The shadow chuckled after a moment’s selection, "At all costs, keep the hard-won Telekinesis position, as long as the anomaly remains alive, it can keep spreading pollution endlessly. As for these failed experiments, there’s an abundant supply!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cluster of red mist-wrapped light was accurately placed at the position of prayer from the narrow cracked space.
"Blood Demons, return." After the successful placement, he wanted to summon the retreating Blood Demons to inquire about the specifics, only to find that the spatial rift couldn’t be opened!
Repeated attempts ended in failure, leaving the shadow in silence, unable to figure out what went wrong.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan, tirelessly slicing the anomalies of the Blood Demon, barely had a moment to rest before noticing that yet another rift cracked open in the same spot in the sky.
He was delighted, "Old bun, that Creator God has been good to you, sending yet another one!"
Just moments ago, he watched as the Divine Envoy was gradually shaved down to size by one hook after another, until it let out a desperate wail and completely vanished. The old teacher was filled with despair, knowing he was next in line to die;
Yet in the following second, sensing a stronger presence reappear, it looked up dazed and then lit up with hope—there was salvation again! The Creator God had once more answered the prayer and dispatched a new Divine Envoy!
His emotions were like a rollercoaster, wildly oscillating on the edge of despair, leaving the old teacher in tears, "Oh God, great Creator God, thank you for your generosity."
After devoutly expressing his gratitude, he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, wait to die! This time, the dispatched Divine Envoy will chop you into pieces... or no, I won’t kill you. I’ll pollute you into becoming one of us, and you will help me leave this hellhole. Hahahaha! We’ll go to the outside world together, make the whole world into a domain of anomalies!"
Jiang Yuan: ...
A great dream, be sure to maintain a good mindset.
It’s best to promise the "God" big dreams too, making them unwaveringly believe in you, so they continually dispatch assistance. Then with the system’s flexible assistance in unlocking and sealing, I can farm all kinds of monsters!
Adjusting the Memory Stone to ensure the entire process could be recorded, he looked expectantly at the new monster crawling out of the rift.
[Mysterious Skeleton General: Summoned in response, unformed experimental subject of the Outer Heaven Demon. Skilled in Bone Spike assaults; possesses significant destructive power; can break through Purification Techniques to a certain extent; lacks reproductive ability, unable to split and reproduce like the anomalous Blood Demon; possesses pollutive capability, can slowly pollute the surrounding environment. Can use the Soul Hook to extract Mysterious Soul Fragments.]
"Wow! As expected of a Skeleton General, you sure are pale." Jiang Yuan watched the strangely shaped monster assembled from bones jump down, curiously asking, "Can you speak? Before it was a mass of blood vessels, now it’s a bunch of bones, are you two from the same body?"
The response was a furious roar.
"Alright, looks like another mute." He swung the Soul Hook, still finding time to quip, "Old bun, shout louder to cheer for your Divine Envoy, it’s boring just watching me beat it down."
The vast Skeleton General composed of countless bones landed with a crisp "crackle," as countless Bone Spikes whistled towards him!
Jiang Yuan didn’t dodge, wanting to test the system’s suggestion of "breaking through Purification Techniques to a certain extent," directly confronting the Level Six Ice Flame to see if it could break his defense.
"Boom~"
Faced with a direct attack, the blue flames originally attached to his body for isolated protection suddenly became excited, soaring over a meter high to greet the filthy objects with a gigantic flame.
"Sizzle, crackle, pop!"
After a somewhat noisy series of sounds, not only did the white Bone Spikes fail to penetrate the Ice Flame’s defense, but they were also instantaneously purified by the swelling flames, dropping to the ground.
The Soul Hook continued its onslaught, and the newly descended, seemingly formidable Skeleton General still couldn’t escape the fate of being sliced apart.
The old bun initially kept clamoring but soon fell silent.
It watched with a numb expression as Jiang Yuan, armed with a Divine Artifact and impervious to attack, killed everything in sight, now devoid of the strength to resist.
"The emissary dispatched by the Creator God turns out to be so weak?" It doubted the Divine Envoy’s capabilities and began to question whether the Creator God was not adept at combat, otherwise, why did the two consecutive Divine Envoys dispatched fall so easily?
Or was it that the Divine Artifact in that kid’s hand was too powerful, able to suppress even a Divine Envoy?
Thinking further, if even a Divine Envoy could be suppressed without resistance, what difference does it make from anomalies?
In the time it took the old teacher to question everything, Jiang Yuan completely sliced the creatures without difficulty.
His Physical Strength Bar dropped significantly, so he simply took a teapot and teacup from the Storage Bag, poured himself a cup of Spirit Tea, and leisurely sipped, chatting away, "Why aren’t you praying anymore? I was looking forward to seeing if any more powerful Divine Envoys would descend.
Are you tired? Do anomalies feel fatigue just because they are undying? Are you hungry? Can you eat anything..."
Faced with such teasing questions, the old teacher was silent for a moment, then sincerely said, "Just kill me."
"Huh? Why? Isn’t everything fine now? You haven’t even answered my question, can anomalies eat? I have plenty of tasty things here."
"Just kill me," came the calm, mad reply, "Once dead, there’s nothing—no pain, no despair, no more thoughts, which is quite nice."
Jiang Yuan drained his tea in one gulp, refilled his cup, and slowly sipped, "Living is great, why be so pessimistic and talk so much about death? You are an anomaly—undying and eternal, with the Creator God’s favor.
You know, not everyone gets a response when they pray to God. You are quite special, and now I completely believe what you said before, surely you are unique, which is why the Creator God is so impressed with you, actively responding to your requests.
However, it seems He is a bit short of strength, look at the weaklings He’s been sending, not posing any threat at all. Why not rest a bit and then try praying again?"
Teetering on the brink of collapse, the old teacher, seeing him leisurely sipping tea, simply lay on the ground, letting himself be wrapped up tightly in a ball by the net.
Jiang Yuan promptly set the current instance to a complete lockdown state, prohibiting Qing Niao or any other courtyard member from entering, lest any uncontrollable accidents occur.
Then he sent the two segments of video to the group chat, "Let everyone see something rare, the rare subordinates of the Outer Heaven Demon. The former is called an anomalous Blood Demon, characterized by..."
According to the system’s provided details, he educated the group on the origins and attack methods of the two newly acquainted monsters, instantly causing a buzz in the courtyard chat group.
