Chapter 357 Terrifying Divine Power
Chapter 357 Terrifying Divine Power
Shang Lu had originally planned to give this group of black-robed men a good training session, but when he heard that the Chou Hour was about to pass, he had to change his mind.
The altar has not been put away yet, and the communication with the gods is still going on. If it really drags on until after the hour of the Ox, the gods will lose their minds and fall into madness. Then not only this group of black-robed people, but also Shang Lu will be contaminated by the chaotic power of the gods, go mad, and die miserably.
"We must fight quickly!"
As soon as Shang Lu had an idea, he was about to sacrifice his essence and energy, borrow divine power, and forcibly improve his cultivation.
Although the cultivation bases of these two wizards were both at the Zhoutian realm, with the Fu wizard even closer to Zhoutian perfection, they were suppressed by the chaotic divine power and could not exert their due strength at all.
As long as Shang Lu could raise his cultivation to the great perfection of Zhoutian, it would be completely feasible for him to kill these two wizards in an instant.
However, just as he was about to activate his vital energy, Shang Lu changed his mind.
He suddenly thought of another quick and decisive method and decided to give it a try. If it didn't work, he would borrow divine power to improve his cultivation.
Having made up his mind, Shang Lu pinched the witch's fingers and used the earth escape technique to burrow underground again.
The two wizards were already prepared for Shang Lu's move.
They immediately activated their Dharma Eyes.
Then he saw a ball of magical energy hidden underground, rushing straight towards the talisman wizard.
"Are you doing this again?"
The two wizards immediately concluded that Shang Lu was going to use the same old trick again and launch a sneak attack from behind!
The ghost witch's head floating in the air was like a human Gatling gun, constantly spurting blood from its broken neck, which turned into blood blades and chased after the witch power underground.
His headless body was shaking the witch bell frantically.
One after another, evil ghosts flew out of the bone-inlaid gold bell, burrowed into the ground at an extremely fast speed, and began to chase and kill.
The wizard who cast the talisman saw Shang Lu running towards him and felt a little nervous. He waved his hand and released more talismans.
Some of these magic talismans were like cannonballs, whizzing towards the underground magic power, and then exploded, blowing up the soil and rocks and creating holes in the ground.
Some witch talismans changed the five elements. While suppressing the earth energy, they also stimulated the trees along the way, causing their roots underground to suddenly grow rapidly and turn into giant pythons and wooden dragons, trying to stop Shanglu and strangle him!
Some talismans even turned into curses, covering a large area in front of the wizard who cast the talisman. Once Shang Lu got close, he would be in trouble!
Amid the "booming" sound of the explosion, countless pieces of soil and rocks were blown up.
A figure with tree roots entangled all over his body was also blown out from underground.
As soon as he appeared, he was immediately cursed and his whole body began to fester rapidly.
Immediately afterwards, several evil ghosts chased after him, swarmed over him, and started biting him wildly.
The attack was successful, and the two wizards should be happy.
But there was no joy on their faces, only surprise and panic.
Because they saw that what was blown out of the ground was not a living person, but a paper man.
A paper figure torn out of talisman paper.
"Cut out paper to make soldiers? We've been tricked?!"
The two wizards hurriedly looked behind them.
Even the ghost witch's headless body started spinning around at the first moment.
They were all afraid that Shang Lu would suddenly emerge from behind them and launch a sneak attack.
However, the next moment, they saw Shang Lu escaping from the altar not far away.
"Where is he!"
The two wizards breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, their hearts were lifted again.
They saw that Shanglu, with his back to them, seemed to be performing some kind of ritual in front of the altar.
Although the two wizards had not practiced Nuo witchcraft, they had seen the altar and communicated with the gods.
Seeing Shang Lu's actions at this moment, they immediately guessed that Shang Lu wanted to use divine power to deal with them.
Although they didn't know why Shang Lu had to perform the ritual in front of the altar when he had the Nuo mask, at this moment, in this tense situation, they had no time to think about it.
Nor were they able to think carefully - although they mobilized their witchcraft to resist the chaotic divine power, their consciousness had already been polluted unknowingly, becoming impulsive and losing their rationality.
"kill him!"
"Destroy the altar!"
The two wizards roared and without any hesitation, they each used their special skills to attack Shanglu.
Fu Yu, Blood Blade, Evil Ghost...all appeared behind Shang Lu in an instant.
This time, Shang Lu did not burrow underground again.
He used the Dragon-Tiger Power and Tiger Step Skills, and with a flash of his body, he went straight to the other side of the altar.
"Go ahead, charming ancestors! Let me see your strength."
Shang Lu shouted in his heart.
These words must never be said out loud, otherwise the ancestors would be the ones to punish him.
"Om-"
"Om-"
Two divine lights, one black and one yellow, burst out from the candlesticks on the altar.
At the same time, the green smoke rising from the incense burner merged with the divine light and transformed into a god with a pig's head and a snake's tail, six arms and two legs, and wearing tattered stone armor, as well as a Nine-Curve Netherworld Road that exuded a cold and gloomy atmosphere.
When the two wizards saw this scene, they were horrified, screamed at the same time, and hurriedly tried to retract their attacks.
But it was too late.
They only felt two huge forces descending from the sky.
They wanted to escape, but they couldn't move.
The next moment, their bodies exploded with a bang.
It was like being crushed by an invisible and huge force!
Their souls were also crushed and then sucked away by Jiuqu Youdu.
The "bang bang bang" explosions did not end with the sudden deaths of the two wizards, but continued to sound at this moment.
The group of strange and crazy black-robed men were also directly crushed by the divine power. After their souls were scattered, their remaining souls were taken away directly by Jiuqu Youdu.
In just the blink of an eye, the two wizards and a dozen men in black robes were wiped out, not a single one was left alive.
The two statues that were gathered above the altar dispersed at this moment and turned back into candlelight and blue smoke.
Shang Lu quickly took out the incense he had prepared long ago, lit it, and then respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.
After reciting the spell to send off the gods, he bowed and said: "Disciple Shanglu, respectfully send off Tubo, respectfully send off the pig-bodied, eight-legged, snake-tailed god..."
Inside the incense burner, the two incense sticks were rapidly becoming shorter.
It only took a few breaths to burn out.
This also means that the invited gods have left.
But Shanglu did not take it lightly.
He sensed his surroundings and made sure that he no longer heard the whispers of the gods and no longer felt the oppression of divine power. Then, with the help of Sanniang, he quickly put away the altar, incense burner, candlesticks and other items.
As for the three sacrificial animals offered to the gods, they turned to ashes at the slightest touch.
It seems that they have been enjoyed by the gods.
After putting away the altar, Shang Lu finally felt relieved and no longer worried about attracting the attention of the gods after the hour of Chou.
It was at this moment that Shang Lu finally had the mood to think:
"It is feasible to let the ancestors fight, but the limitations are too great. First of all, in terms of time, it can only be carried out within the two hours of Zi and Chou. At other times, if I really want to invite the gods, I am afraid that even I will have to transform and self-destruct. Secondly, the pre-swing is too long. The whole process of opening the altar and inviting the gods is enough for me to die eight or ten times. If I really want to use this trick again, I can only preset the battlefield in advance and let the enemy appear within the two hours of Zi and Chou..."
Shang Lu shook his head.
It's not easy to get all these factors together. Tonight, it was just a coincidence.
"If there is any way to shorten the process of summoning the gods and improve the resistance to chaotic divine power, that would be great..."
Shang Lu was really interested and planned to return to the Witch Academy to seek advice from teachers in related fields.
While he was thinking about these things, he did not forget to search for the man in black robe.
Unfortunately, this group of men in black robes had obviously made preparations in advance and did not leave any clues to reveal their identities.
Even the magical weapons and talismans used by the three wizards are very common.
For example, the bone bell inlaid with gold is owned by many ghost witches. It is impossible to find out their identities based on these things.
Even so, Shang Lu still made some conclusions:
Being able to send out three Zhoutian realm wizards and more than a dozen warriors at the peak of the marrow washing realm is definitely not an ordinary force.
In Guling County, those who have such strength are either the county government, the Witch Academy, or the aristocratic families, or those major sects that have been passed down for thousands of years.
The county government and the witch house can be ruled out first.
If it was really the government that was raising the pythons, even if they wanted to take humans to feed the snakes, they could do it more covertly and would never let him kill the pythons.
Even if he really killed Bashe, the authorities would certainly mobilize more and stronger forces to thoroughly investigate the cause of Bashe's death, and issue a wanted order to search for him.
The county government and the witch house have plenty of ways to confuse right and wrong and portray the man-eating python as the victim.
But these things did not happen.
Although Shang Lu saw yamen runners and county soldiers searching the caravan along the way, they only registered the goods and collected tolls, and did not take any other actions.
This situation shows that the people who raise the Basque snakes have some connections with the government, but they dare not let the news of their raising of the Basque snakes leak out and be known by others.
Therefore, it is more likely that the person behind raising the Basah is a family of cultivators in Guling County or one of the major sects of cultivators.
Many disciples of these noble families and major sects work in county governments and witch academies.
It is closely connected with government offices and witch temples at all levels in Guling County.
Given their power, it is not surprising that they were able to mobilize yamen runners and county soldiers to assist in the search.
I just don't know which one it is? Which faction?
What makes Shang Lu even more curious is that if it is really the noble families and big sects that are raising the Basahs, then what is their purpose?
It is definitely not worth it to go through so much trouble and take such a big risk just for a spiritual treasure of the Zhoutian realm.
So it is that python that can continue to grow?
Can it cultivate by eating humans, and within a short period of time, its cultivation level can reach the seventh-grade Tongtian realm, the sixth-grade Mingxin realm, or even the higher fifth-grade Neifu realm? And thus raise a higher-grade spiritual treasure?
Or is it that this noble family or sect is trying to find a new way to practice cannibalism through the Basah?
As far as Shang Lu knows, ever since the secret realm came into being, all countries have strictly prohibited the practice of cannibalism.
However, practicing by eating humans can improve one's cultivation much faster than normal practice.
So there are still many people who choose to take risks and give it a try!
However, although practicing cultivation by eating humans can rapidly improve one's cultivation, it also has many risks.
Could it be that the Basah, the test subject of the "Tu San", is the product of a certain noble family or sect that wants to take risks and try to find a low-risk and high-effective method through practical experiments?
In recent decades, new secret realms have appeared less and less frequently, which has led to the gradual inability of cultivation resources to keep up with consumption.
The emergence of this situation not only made it difficult for many people to make breakthroughs in their cultivation, but also greatly reduced the number of new wizards.
If not for this, the neighboring Chu State would not have thought of using war to seize more secret realms in order to obtain more resources for cultivation.
And if the Chu State had not launched an arms race, the witch academies in the five counties of the Ba State would not have started recruiting new students.
After all, there are only so many resources for cultivation. If the number of people practicing increases, the resources allocated will inevitably decrease.
Therefore, geniuses in spiritual practice are not necessarily welcome in countries such as Ba and Ju.
Because with each level up, the consumption of cultivation resources will also increase.
The three levels of Refining Qi, Zhoutian and Tongtian are all considered good.
The higher one goes, the higher the realm one reaches, the less they want latecomers to come and snatch their cultivation resources.
Therefore, the government and the Witch Academy have very strict control over the spiritual treasures and elixirs that can help with breakthroughs. Even if they are available, they will not be easily given to others.
Unless a new secret realm is discovered, only after evaluating the situation in the new secret realm will several spiritual treasures and elixirs of corresponding realms be granted.
As for the spiritual treasures and elixirs that allow breakthroughs to higher realms, one has to wait until the person at the corresponding realm dies and vacates the position before the spiritual treasures and elixirs that allow breakthroughs to that realm will be granted.
However, these vacancies are often controlled by some powerful families and sects. If a wizard from a humble family has no connections, he will never get a chance until he dies.
That's why Qiu Haishan, who raised a snake and turned it into a dragon, roared and said, "The government and the Witch Academy are unfair."
Regardless of whether the noble family or sect that raises the Basah viper is doing so to cultivate its evil dharma of eating humans or to allow the monster to give birth to a more powerful spiritual treasure, two situations can be determined.
Firstly, this aristocratic family and sect is not considered the best in Guling County, so they want to use these means to train masters and become one of the best!
Secondly, there are probably many people in this family or sect who are stuck in the perfection stage of different realms, waiting for a breakthrough. Or perhaps an important figure among them is in urgent need of a breakthrough...
Whatever the case, they don't want the matter to be exposed.
Being exposed after having enough experts around, and being exposed before things are successful, are two different concepts, and also have two completely different outcomes.
Fortunately, Shang Lu doesn't have to worry about this matter.
He had already made up his mind that he would report this series of events anonymously to the Discipline Department as soon as he returned to Baiyi County.
Let the Discipline Department worry about it!
However, Shang Lu felt very regretful after searching through all the body parts.
Not only were these black-robed men crushed into pulp by the divine might, but the magical weapons they carried were also all destroyed.
Shang Lu didn't find any spoils of war.
It was also during the search that Shang Lu discovered several fragments of the witch talisman.
It was obvious that this group of people in black robes were very cautious.
As soon as they arrived here and realized something was wrong, they immediately released the witch talisman to report the matter and call for reinforcements.
Unfortunately, their magical talismans for sending messages were also affected by the chaotic divine power and were completely destroyed before they could convey the message.
This also made Shang Lu feel relieved: "Fortunately, this is the case. Otherwise, I would not go to Black Wind Ferry. I would take my people and flee back to Baiyi County Witch Academy overnight."
Now he doesn't have to run away.
As long as someone traces the case here, they will not suspect him.
Although Tubo and the pig-bodied, eight-legged, snake-tailed god have left, the aura they left here is still astonishingly strong.
It was definitely not something that a mere rookie wizard like him could possess.
Moreover, these two auras do not contain fluctuations of divine power.
Shang Lu, who noticed this, couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that Tu Bo and the pig-bodied, eight-legged, snake-tailed god left these two auras on purpose to help me deceive the pursuers?"
Tsk, I am so proud!
Shang Lu was just thinking about it when he suddenly saw a ghost coming out from the body of the soldier witch that was also blown to pieces, and flew away into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
"not good!"
Shang Lu was shocked when he saw this.
Weren't the souls of this group of people torn apart along with their bodies and taken away by Jiuqu Youdu?
Why is the soul of this soldier-shaman still intact and remains in the human world?
Is it because he died early and escaped the disaster?
Damn, even gods are not reliable!
Shang Lu cursed in his heart and hurried to chase after him.
It would be really terrible if the soul of the soldier wizard were allowed to escape.
However, just when he took a few steps, a tube-shaped banner appeared out of nowhere in front of the soldier witch's soul.
The soldier witch's soul roared and transformed into a soul blade, trying to break through the tube banner and rush out.
Almost at the same time, the white ribbon of the tube flag began to rotate and created a strange suction force.
The soldier wizard's soul roared angrily and was sucked into the tube banner.
And then... no more.
The soul of the soldier witch was in the tube-shaped banner and he didn't even struggle, let alone break the banner and escape.
Shang Lu looked at Sanniang floating in the air with her feet on the tube-shaped flagpole, and thought she was extremely beautiful and cool.
As expected, my third mother is the most reliable.
