Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 343 Various magical artifacts and celestial phenomena appear one after another.
Mid-July 1999.

With just over a month to go until the planetary Grand Cross on August 18th, Louis had already left the base and arrived at the ascension site in the suburbs—Sugar Mountain/Sugarbread Mountain.

This is a small hilly area about 30 kilometers outside Orlando. To be specific, it is actually a sand dune belt, with undulating hills stretching endlessly, and is part of Lake Wales Ridge.

Here, Louis had already arranged everything.

Even Carrie and the others have arrived here to protect this base.

Ground.

The underground space, entirely constructed of high-quality steel, was completely empty except for a few instruments and Louis, the only living person present.

Louis was sitting cross-legged in the center, surrounded by numerous patterns that looked like scribbles and a magic circle made up of rectangles, triangles, and circles.

There were also burning yellow candles, black skulls, towering beast carcasses, golden crosses, bronze cauldrons resembling artifacts from the Eastern Kingdom, rubies and emeralds the size of a baby's fist, pearls, sandalwood and Solomon's seal emitting a faint fragrance, and golden and silver liquids rolling within those grotesque patterns...

It contains both Western magic circles and Eastern rituals.

The contents of this container are even more symbolic: rubies and pearls represent the earth element; sandalwood and Solomon's seal represent the wood element; the golden and silver liquids are actually large amounts of liquid gold and silver, representing the water element; the yellow candles are a special item made by combining volcanic ash and sulfur, representing the fire element; and the ancient bronze tripod represents the metal element…

However, while these objects represent their respective Five Elements, they also incorporate other Five Elements; for example, liquid gold and silver also represent the Metal element...

As for the Western artifacts, such as the golden cross, which Louis obtained from Captain Michael of the Bureau, it belonged to a certain cardinal. The tall beast carcass was an African elephant king, and the black skull was the skull left behind by a vampire count who had been purified and collected by a family in Europe.

This is the result of Louis's modification of the Ascension Ritual. The original Ascension Ritual was created by some people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Due to the limitations of technology, knowledge, and cultivation at the time, although the concept was very ingenious and bold, the ritual itself was actually quite crude.

The current one is different. After Louis modified the ritual by combining it with the general principles of the Star Array, the defects were filled and the effect was enhanced. It has now become a kind of miraculous technique that steals the creation of heaven and earth!

"This Western-style magic circle is actually an ancient astrological magic, corresponding to celestial phenomena. This Taoist array is also not simple, gathering the power of the earth's veins, and even has some resemblance to the Dragon Vein Array. It combines the earth's veins with the power of heaven and earth, and blends Chinese and Western elements."

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then was certainly audacious, and their knowledge spanned both Chinese and Western cultures!

Perhaps only an anomaly like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could have created such a ritual.

Louis sat cross-legged in the center, constantly observing the formation.

At the same time, he was also distracted by adjusting the large formation outside.

Time passed slowly, and just when Louis thought he would quietly wait for the day he would ascend to godhood, a glint of light flashed between his brows, making Louis's face light up with joy.

"Great, you've come at just the right time!"

hum! !

The magic power shook.

The Soul-Suppressing Ruler flew out from between his brows. The brass-colored Soul-Suppressing Ruler was now fluctuating in size, and its color was gradually transforming into a golden color, giving it a more majestic and masculine aura!

This is a transformation into an upper-grade magic artifact, and the level is not low. Louis's continuous provision of a large amount of yang essence has been effective.

Not only that.

Other magical artifacts also flew out at this moment.

The puppeteer's hand, wielding the silver glove, extended countless threads, layer upon layer, wrapping the glove. But in the end, it pulled out the threads one by one, transforming them into a single silver thread!
The Myriad Illusions Robe gradually became transparent, and the shadows of many strange beasts flashed by on it, revealing several ancient hieroglyphs imprinted within it.

The loosely woven centipede pouch now features patterns of the five poisonous creatures, and its interior exudes a masculine energy, nurturing life.

Even the pitch-black coffin for raising corpses was seeping blood, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a blood-red coffin, emitting a cold and foul stench.

At this point, all six inherited magical artifacts have been upgraded to the superior grade.

Louis's eyes lit up with joy as he looked at the magical artifacts.

Just as the Blood River Pearl gained new functions after its advancement, these magical artifacts are the same, in addition to the enhancement of their original functions.

The Soul-Suppressing Ruler now has the added functions of strengthening willpower and protecting the true spirit.

The puppeteer now possesses additional functions such as spatial cutting and thread differentiation.

The Myriad Illusions Robe now possesses the ability to resist magic and the transformation of myriad beasts.

The centipede bag has additional functions, including raising poisonous insects and using yang energy to poison.

The coffin for raising corpses has the added function of gathering yin energy and the source of blood.

It can be said that everything underwent a complete transformation, greatly enhancing Louis's methods and strength.

"Hmm? All twenty restrictions? Only four away from perfection. Not bad. It wasn't for nothing that I endured for so long and spent so many resources to cultivate it. It has finally caught up with my cultivation level."

Low-grade magical artifacts have twelve restrictions, while high-grade magical artifacts have twenty-four restrictions.

As for the primordial spirit magic treasures that follow, that's still a long way off.

Twenty high-grade magic artifacts with restrictions were enough to greatly enhance Louis's strength. At this critical juncture, with the help of these magic artifacts, Louis felt more at ease.

Louis then began to infuse magic into the artifacts, becoming proficient in their use.

To be honest, after the magic weapon was upgraded, its power increased significantly, and its new functions were also very effective. In particular, the puppet hand's ability to cut through space was incredibly sharp. This magic weapon, which I originally thought was mainly for control, now showed a formidable attack power.

However, in addition to the increased power, the consumption also increased accordingly. If Louis had not practiced the Five Elements Technique and mastered the Heart Fire Technique, which greatly increased his magical power, he would probably have had to consume blood pills to refine them while controlling his magical weapon to fight the enemy if the battle went on for too long.

Finally, Louis selected three magical artifacts: the Puppet Master, the Blood River Pearl, and the Myriad Illusions Robe. These three artifacts would be the most useful for the upcoming battle.

As for the other three magical artifacts, Louis put them away and focused on mastering them.

Rabbits run and crows fly; the sun rises and the moon sets.

Time slowly passed until the latter half of July.

However, on July 20th, the meteorological bureau suddenly interrupted the broadcast with a news report.

"Due to the influence of cosmic rays, an electromagnetic storm has been triggered, affecting sunspots on the sun's surface. A total solar eclipse is expected tomorrow. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, and astronomy enthusiasts are also advised to refrain from..."

???

Louis stared blankly, muttering to himself, "The heavens are unpredictable."

He hadn't paid much attention to this, so he only knew about the Grand Cross and the alignment of the seven planets, both of which had been confirmed by the Cosmic Astronomical Organization.

But this sudden appearance is truly unexpected.

"That's true. I haven't even mastered the art of divination myself, so it's normal for accidents to happen. We'll deal with it as it comes."

"What we should do now is think about whether we can turn it around and use it for our own benefit."

Total solar eclipse.

It is a relatively common astronomical phenomenon, occurring about once every ten years or so. In some places, it can even occur once every one or two years, like the total solar eclipse that occurred a few years ago during the "weight loss bug" incident.

According to reports, this total solar eclipse will mainly be concentrated in Europe and Asia, and will not be visible in the Americas.

"A total solar eclipse is a celestial phenomenon..."

Is it feasible to start early?

Louis stroked his chin, his eyes deep in thought, as knowledge of solar arrays, timing, and rituals began to surface in his mind.

After a while, Louis's eyes lit up.

"Have it!"

"A total solar eclipse, the sun is submerged, a celestial dog devours the sun, darkness descends, but it cannot be observed in the Americas, which provides room for maneuver. We can use the total solar eclipse as a warm-up to accumulate stellar energy, and release this power when the planetary Grand Cross is activated, thus getting through the slow initial setup time, achieving success in one fell swoop, and shortening the cooldown time!"

"I'm such a genius!"

Louis's lips curled into a smile. He was decisive and immediately began adjusting the array patterns. As this was a large-scale ceremony prepared for years, many things were unchangeable. Only Louis, as the one who set up the array and the one who modified it, could make these minor adjustments. Otherwise, trying to change the array on short notice? Forget about it!
With the support of the company and family, Louis quickly modified the formation, adding a layer of burning sun patterns around it, as well as feathered serpent artifacts offered by the Kalusa tribe of Indians, and a dollhouse containing a wisp of feathered serpent god's life force that he had obtained from that Indian high priest...

at last!

hum-

A wave of energy surged up and spread outwards, solidifying the array patterns.

"It's done!"

Louis let out a weary sigh.

Even though he was the one who set up the array and the one who modified it, it was not an easy task to complete the modification in a short period of time. He had to consume a lot of Yang God power to think and calculate.

Gumbling--

He pulled a handful of Blood Pills from the Blood River Pearl and threw them into his mouth, swallowing them all in a few gulps.

While replenishing his strength and restoring his condition, Louis transmitted his voice to the others, preparing to begin.

Carrie, who was in the steel house on the ground, was startled. She stood up with a serious expression and looked at the others.

Higa Kotoko, calm and quiet as she reads from the classics; Kayako, breathing slightly rapidly and appearing somewhat nervous, with an unnaturally pale complexion; and Yamamura Sadako, dressed in black and white respectively, glaring at each other, neither giving an inch.

Emma, ​​wielding a fire serpent; Maria, devouring souls; Jason, ready to burst from his coffin at any moment; Tommy, with Finley perched on his neck leading a patrol of black-armored soldiers; and Khorne, crouching in a corner, his eyes slightly narrowed…

And Chase and Constantine, trembling at the sight of these strange and terrifying figures.

Especially Chase, who had been by Constantine's side, could barely be considered well-informed, which made him all the more horrified now.

Oh my God!
Is this hell?!
What did I just see?!

Each person here could be sent out and become the boss of an event!
Some of them were so terrifying that he couldn't even discern their origins, making them fully qualified to be the focal point of major events!

and many more!

That's... Japan's number one expert?

Why is she here too? Isn't she incredibly powerful? She's famous worldwide, and she's here too...

Gumbling—

Although they weren't familiar with each other, the other person was currently the only person they could get to know.

Chase walked over and started chatting with Higa Kotoko. Constantine, on the other hand, maintained his composure. Although the scene before him was indeed the most shocking he had ever seen, he managed to keep his composure.

However, my heart couldn't help but sink.

With this lineup, they could probably take over the Administration Bureau, right?

So what big thing is Louis planning to do with so many powerful subordinates and helpers?

Where will my divination result lead?

For the first time in his life, Constantine began to distrust his own magic.

Da da da--

Carrie, dressed in a black dress, walked over. Her expressionless face exuded a chilling aura, and her piercing eyes slashed at Constantine and Chase.

Of everyone present, only these two were foreign aid workers.

Carrie doesn't trust them.

He looked away and said, "Time is almost up, get ready."

Seeing everyone nod, they began to head in different directions.

Carrie nodded slightly, took out her walkie-talkie, and began talking to Tommy.

soon.

Tommy commanded the Black Armored troops to completely guard the iron-shelled building.

Looking further out, one can see elite soldiers standing guard in the fortress, and even heavy artillery, tanks, helicopters, and a missile vehicle can be seen – all of which were purchased at great expense through connections with the military.

That's right, it was bought from the military.

In America, money talks.

If you can buy the presidency, what's a little weaponry compared to that!
If you can't buy it and they say it doesn't comply with regulations or has a negative impact, it just means you don't have enough money!

I have enough money; I can even create a new regulation just for you!

……

Just as Louis was about to ascend to godhood.

The black and blue restricted area in Salem seemed to sense something and finally began to move, starting to move along the ground towards Orlando.

The journey felt like a minor earthquake, causing the ground to hum and the sand and gravel to tremble.

Freddy Krueger, still unable to find what he was looking for on a certain television station, became so frustrated that he decided to control even more people to search for it.

"If we can't find it, let this city fall into eternal slumber!!"

At the headquarters of the agency in Washington, D.C., alarms blared. Inside the pristine white room, five board members listened with grim faces to the report from below.

"An unusually powerful energy convergence has been detected in Florida, a southern state in the United States, second only in intensity to the Titan that is sealed below!"

Oh my God!

"Are you sure?"

"Investigate! Investigate! Where exactly did this happen? What happened? Find out everything! It must be that damned heretical sect again, hanging around with this bunch of trash. When will America ever..."

"Let's confirm first. I suggest activating the global energy detector. Once confirmed, authorize Sequence One through Seven forbidden weapons."

"agree."

"agree."

"Abstain."

"agree."

"be opposed to."

"Three against one, authorization approved."

Meanwhile, in the Vatican City, far away in Europe, the elderly Pope, who was sleeping peacefully, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with terror and rage. "Blasphemy! Heresy!!"

In his cloudy old eyes, he seemed to see the lightning of hell and the divine power of heretics.

In fact, this is not normal.

In this day and age, the Church has lost the terrifying Inquisition and can no longer condemn the myths of other civilizations as it once did.

But this time is different.

The Pope sensed that the heretical god about to appear was Satan! Hell! Evil!
"This is the Satan of the world, a blasphemy against the Lord! He must be eradicated!"

"Summon all cardinals!"
