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

Chapter 424 Out of Control in Another World?

The monster before them seemed more like a product of a chaotic development of a divine power core.

Similar to previous catastrophic monsters.

The problem is that monsters with disordered development of their divine power cores usually lose their self-awareness and become terrifying monsters similar to "zombies," as if they have gone mad.

But the monster in front of us still retains a conscious awareness of itself.

"Hey~ you little brat up there, come here and let me take a look!"

Xiao Dizi began to use his ability to communicate with beings from another world, but his tone was a bit pretentious.

Upon hearing Xiao Dizi's voice, the strange and eerie creature turned around, revealing a distorted, inhuman face.

It was clearly only a level 37 commander monster, but its aura was more terrifying than many lord-level monsters.

Ouch——!
With a roar, the monster charged at Wu Xian and his group without hesitation, accompanied by a fierce gust of cold wind.

"Be careful, this monster is not simple!"

The Xue family members immediately stepped forward to meet the challenge, their bodies shrouded in the phantom energy of the Ghost Emperor and the Yin General. Working in perfect coordination, they became entangled with the strange and eerie creature.

Wu Xian frowned and secretly observed the strange situation.

It is indeed different from normal monsters, but it is also different from chaotic monsters. It is more like a brand new monster form that is sandwiched between the two.

The suppressive power of the laws of the Underworld Scrolls has been greatly weakened. To put it bluntly, the Underworld Scrolls' ability to "control" undead creatures has failed on this monster.

No wonder the Xue family members suffered a crushing defeat.

Fortunately, the Xue family members, being tattooed warriors, possessed strong physical cultivation abilities. With the help of the tools and scrolls provided by Wang Xiaocong, they were able to cope, though not as easily as when dealing with normal monsters.

"Could it be a series of changes triggered by the damage done to the heavens?"

As Wu Xian frowned slightly, his destined God of Wealth appeared.

Several lightning strikes were unleashed, and the effect was fairly good.

Indeed, thunder magic is the ultimate weapon against these kinds of evil spirits and monsters!
The suppression of undead creatures by the Underworld Scroll is more like a suppression at the level of "rights".

The restraint of lightning on ghosts and monsters is a true restraint at the level of power, belonging to the "physical law" at the level of the laws of heaven and earth. Ghosts and monsters of the yin type are naturally afraid of the power of lightning.

Unless it is an extremely powerful ghost or monster, it is possible for it to be unafraid of the power of thunder magic.

But that only meant he wasn't afraid; the Thunder Law's destructive power against him was still formidable.

Just as vampires fear sunlight, powerful vampires, though able to face sunlight normally, are still completely restrained by the power of "sunlight".

In addition, the God of Wealth's thunder magic is not ordinary thunder magic.

That is the orthodox thunder magic of the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department, a high-level thunder magic from the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Thunder God Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable, and it is of the same nature as the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder.

Dealing with such strange creatures is naturally a piece of cake.

boom! boom! boom!
Several bolts of lightning struck down, and the monster immediately howled and screamed in agony. Its deformed and grotesque ghostly body hissed and smoked, as if it would be completely annihilated in the next second.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Dizi pounced forward, surrounded by nine colorful energies, and stomped him to the ground.

"You're being ungrateful, aren't you?" Xiao Dizi mocked coldly. "When I was roaming the Ghost Realm, you were still nowhere to be found."

The Buddhist power on this side was also suppressing the monster completely.

If Xiaodizi wanted, he could immediately perform a more "gentle" ritual to help the deceased pass on.

"They have some awareness, but not much," Xiao Dizi reported to Wu Xian after questioning them. "They're quite arrogant, not even putting the Abyss Demon Lord in their eyes." Although Wu Xian was curious, he knew he wouldn't get any information out of them.

After all, this monster was a product of the natural growth of the power of the Ghost Realm.

Immediately, the Dragon-Binding Rope was used to bind it like a rice dumpling, capturing it alive and putting it into the Qiankun Bag.

I'm going to take it back and ask the older generation.

……

Upon returning to Yaoyang City, he immediately went to the Scroll Painters Association to consult Cui Wenxuan.

Looking at the strange and bizarre creature that Wu Xian had captured alive, Cui Wenxuan didn't seem surprised. "Are these kinds of monsters starting to appear in the Ghost Realm as well?"

"You know about this special monster?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

“Of course,” Cui Wenxuan nodded, “Strictly speaking, these kinds of monsters were the majority during the interdimensional invasion back then, but they have just reappeared now.”

Wu Xian looked puzzled and said, "This junior doesn't quite understand."

“The Upper World has ultimately contributed to the entire Scroll World,” Cui Wenxuan said with a smile. “Of course, this is the contribution of the Upper World’s creators back then, not the contribution of the Upper World’s scum today.”

"So it really is related to the changes in the heavens?" Wu Xian gradually realized.

Cui Wenxuan confirmed: "The existence of the upper world has indeed maintained the stability of the laws of heaven and earth to a certain extent. This time, the heavens were severely injured by the god of mechanical creation, and this stable situation has been broken."

Recently, such monsters have appeared in various otherworldly realms, and the trend seems to be escalating.

I initially thought the otherworldly realms of the four true gods would be alright, but it seems they've started appearing there too.

Wu Xian understood, and asked seriously, "How did this monster come about? What's so special about it?"

“These monsters are born from the disordered operation of the forces of another world, and even their divine cores are in a disordered state,” Cui Wenxuan explained. “According to some ancient books and materials from the association, the biggest characteristic of these monsters is that they reproduce and grow very quickly.”

Fortunately, the heavens' control over the various otherworldly realms has not completely failed yet, otherwise you would see these monsters springing up like mushrooms after rain.

This was also the main threat that humanity faced during the time when the extradimensional catastrophe broke out.

In that era, the otherworldly beings that arose and grew from orderly forces were actually a minority.

Wu Xian suddenly realized.

To put it bluntly, the otherworldly monsters that are mainstream today were a minority back then.

Only after the upper world order was established and the world became more stable did these disorderly monsters begin to disappear, gradually allowing ordered monsters to become the mainstream.

"The essence of the birth of these monsters is to expand in a disorderly manner, to wildly expand and erode the power of other worlds into the human world, and even other dimensions." Cui Wenxuan continued, "The dimensional control zones and the dimensional fusion zones of various other worlds today were created by those powerful disorderly monsters back then."

In a sense, they represent the most primal will and instinct of the forces of another world.

"So, the scale of interdimensional invasions will only increase in the future?" Wu Xian couldn't help but become serious.

“Obviously,” Cui Wenxuan smiled calmly. “But don’t worry, things are different now. Back then, humans were able to suppress them during the exploratory stage. Now that human society has developed to this point, we can naturally suppress them again and establish a new order.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic spirit.

As Cui Wenxuan said.

Back then, our ancestors had nothing, but they could do it all with sheer willpower. Now, with such good conditions, they can certainly do it too.

And there is absolutely no need to sacrifice human lives like in the past, resulting in the loss of nearly 90% of the population.
