Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 284 Twisted Evil Power
Upon hearing this, Kun Youniang's expression also turned serious. "Can't they get through?"

“The distorting forces surrounding us are too intense,” the young man said helplessly. “Just getting close is enough to make me feel uncomfortable.”

At the same time, Xiao Dizi also discovered a region deep underground, shrouded in a dark purple, writhing aura.

"Such powerful distortion force, how can we possibly play like this?" Xiao Dizi exclaimed in shock.

Through the shared divine sense of Xiao Dizi, Wu Xian naturally saw the situation underground.

This was the first time he had seen a tangible manifestation of the twisted power.

"Isn't distorted pollution invisible and intangible?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

Kun Youniang shook her head and explained, "Twisted pollution itself is formless and intangible, but it becomes something else once it is used by an evil god. What kind of background does this evil god scroll painter have? How can he control such powerful twisted evil power?"

"Is it very strong?" Wu Xian frowned.

“Even I, the Emperor, would not dare to easily taint this level of twisted evil power,” Kun Youniang said solemnly. “If I am not careful, I may be corrupted by that evil god and turned into an evil insect monster.”

Wu Xian pondered, "What if we could suppress the distorting power to some extent?"

"Huh?" Kun You Niang was stunned.

Wu Xian stopped hiding his intentions and with a slight thought, the [Remnant Laurel Tree] rose from the ground beneath his feet, and the dim moonlight instantly illuminated the entire insect world.

Crystal-like roots take hold of the earth in the insect realm, constantly penetrating downwards.

The aura of the innate spiritual root began to spread rapidly, and even the unique otherworldly spiritual energy of the insect realm was being transformed into rich spiritual energy by the laurel tree.

At this scene, both Kunyouniang and the energetic young man were speechless with astonishment.

"This, this, this..."

Even though the young man doesn't eat grass, he can still feel how amazing the power of the laurel tree is.

It seems that given enough time, the entire insect world can be "transformed" into something completely different.

"Is this the laurel tree?"

Kun Youniang murmured softly, and her own divine power core seemed to resonate with a strange force under the influence of the laurel tree.

Of course, now is not the time to marvel at the laurel tree; the focus should be on solving the underground evil realm.

"How is it? Have you suppressed it?" Wu Xian asked the two great demons.

"It's not just suppression, it's even starting to purify that twisted evil power." Kun Youniang sneered, raising her hand and waving it, a spider web that blotted out the sky covered the entire sky.

Countless spider silk threads cascade down from the spider web, piercing deep into the ground.

Rumble…

The ground trembled, the space rippled, and the evil realm shrouded in dark purple twisted evil power was actually lifted up by the spider silk.

"Who is preventing the birth of the great evil god?"

A sinister and majestic voice echoed from the evil realm, seemingly the voice of the evil god scroll painter, or perhaps Fei Jian had already completely dedicated himself to the evil god, becoming its vessel.

Buzz~!

A terrifying mental shock emanated from that evil realm, causing a splitting headache.

Fortunately, Wu Xian's side, the Pleiades Star Lord, uttered the "Crowing at Dawn" proclamation, dispelling the mental attack.

Sensing the power of the Pleiades Star Lord, the evil god in the evil realm clearly showed a strange panic. Countless purplish-red worms surged out from the evil realm's cocoon of light, and the massive number of worms surged towards everyone like a tidal wave.

Even the Laurel Tree is under immense pressure, after all, the Laurel Tree is still a fragment, and it is currently only a five-and-a-half-star silver axis.

Seeing this, Kunyouniang and the energetic young man joined forces to help.

Wu Xian was not idle either. With his natal God of Wealth appearing, a storm of lightning rained down, annihilating the surging tide of worms.

"Little Dizi, what are you still standing there for?"

Upon hearing this, Di Ting, who was standing beside him, snapped out of his shock. His body was filled with Buddhist light, and it seemed as if the heavens and earth were filled with the sound of chanting.

The power of the evil cocoon was further suppressed. At the same time, the Twenty-Eight Constellations diagram above Wu Xian's head unfolded.

With the spiritual power of the laurel tree behind them, the White Tiger Seven Mansions once again took their places.

Buzz~!

Above the insect realm's sky, the ancient starry sky tore through the heavens, scattering countless rays of starlight.

The White Tiger Holy Spirit descended amidst a deafening roar, its boundless killing intent filling the heavens and earth. The moment its tiger claws struck, the Evil Realm Cocoon shattered instantly, and the writhing, dark purple, twisted evil power was annihilated by the starlight surrounding the White Tiger Holy Spirit.

As the dark purple cocoon of light shattered, the scene of the evil realm appeared in the sky above the insect world like a mirage.

Just like the scene observed at the City God Temple.

Countless pitch-black pillars crisscrossed, but now, seeing the full picture, it became clear that they were not pillars at all, but rather black "flesh and blood tissue" intertwined and stuck in the evil realm.

The entire evil realm resembled a giant "insect egg," with all the black flesh and blood tissue gathered on a central "mountain of flesh."

It was a fleshy worm resembling a human brain, with the evil god Scroll Master Fei Jian above it resembling an inconspicuous little black dot. Half of its body was integrated into the fleshy body, and the evil god image on its head had long since merged with the entire "worm egg".

"Strange, this evil realm doesn't seem to have taken root in our insect world. No wonder we couldn't detect it at all."

The young man, who had transformed into a giant centipede, was secretly puzzled, and immediately began to gnaw at the large fleshy worm.

Kun Youniang transformed into a giant spider that blotted out the sky, hanging upside down on a spider web that covered the heavens, sealing off the power of the entire evil realm. Her spider legs clamped down on the entire evil realm, causing the entire evil realm to crumble inch by inch.

Furthermore, the ancient starlight power of the White Tiger Holy Spirit was projected, and the entire evil realm was riddled with holes by the starlight.

Finally, accompanied by a tremor that shook the entire insect realm, the entire evil realm shattered and disintegrated completely.

The enormous brain-shaped worm fell to the ground and melted like ice cream, leaving only Fei Jian's upper body and the dense worm blood vessels in his lower body.

A great battle that shook the heavens and the earth came to an end.

Although Wu Xian had suffered a great loss, he quickly recovered thanks to the nourishment of the laurel tree.

Kunyouniang and the spirited young man sat cross-legged under the laurel tree, trying to dispel the twisted pollution within their bodies.

Wu Xian felt a lingering sense of fear.

It's unimaginable what it would be like if this evil god were to invade Yaoyang City.

The battle is currently taking place in the insect realm, so the brain-eating worm's power cannot be fully revealed. In addition, the combined efforts of various parties have nipped it in the bud.

If this happened in the human world, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Twisted evil power…” Wu Xian’s heart sank. “Do all evil god scroll painters possess this kind of power?”

“No,” Kunyouniang explained, “Only scroll painters who have completely dedicated themselves to the evil gods can master this power, and not all evil gods can master this power.”

Evil gods, like us, are also divided into ranks.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

To put it bluntly, the Evil God Scroll is still essentially a scroll, and it also needs to be upgraded and improved.

Just like the two great insectoid demons present, they have reached this point today only after a long period of arduous cultivation and fortuitous encounters.

However, there are limitations in the conception of human-made scrolls.

Like most scroll artists, the evil god scroll could not be a perfect and complete evil god concept from the start.

Unless there are exceptions like him, or beings like Sister Tiao and Yu Boling who are directly summoned by the gods.

Xue Zhengying, Huang Lili, and the other two have also returned. After the shock, the three sisters are immersed in the joy of counting money until their hands cramp, and they are unaware that something is wrong.

But Xue Zhengying vaguely sensed something.

Afterwards, Huang Lili and the other two returned to Yaoyang City first, and then went with Xue Zhengying to the palace of Empress Kun Youniang.
