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

Chapter 454 Battle Against the Demon God Incarnation

“This demon manifested through the scroll of the Sun God, so perhaps we can start from this angle,” the God of Wealth analyzed. “Given the Sun God’s arrogance, he would never submit to the power of the demon.”

Wu Xian's eyes flickered slightly. "Should we try to awaken the power of the Sun Star Lord?"

“That’s right,” the God of Wealth nodded with delight. “In that case, we can use the power of the Sun God to launch a coordinated attack from within and without. However, from my observation, the person in front of us should just be an incarnation of that demon god.”

Even if we defeat him, we might not be able to harm that demon god much.

"Let's take this guy down first," Wu Xian said knowingly.

As for how to "awaken" the power of the Sun Star Lord, there is naturally no one more suitable than the Pleiades Star Lord.

It should be noted that the current Pleiades Star Lord has already transformed into a god.

I almost shouted out the sun of the insect world with my shout before.

Although the "Sun Star Lord" is not yet perfect, as long as the laws and principles of the Sun Star Lord exist, it will inevitably be awakened by the [Crow of Dawn].

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being ruthless," the Flesh and Blood Sun Star Lord sneered indifferently. "Yaoyang City has been mine from the beginning, and it naturally is now."

Having said that, a surge of flesh and blood power erupted.

The world turned crimson in an instant, as if even the air had turned into a viscous blood-like substance.

Everyone present was on high alert.

These words from the other party startled Wu Xian and the others once again.

What do you mean by saying that Yaoyang City has belonged to him from the very beginning?
"Could this person be a mayor from history?" Cui Wenxuan frowned, filled with doubt and surprise.

“No, no, no,” said an elder of the association, “this person seems to have existed since the founding of the upper echelons. He may not be the original mayor.”

Upon hearing this, everyone stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

"The first mayor?" Wu Xian exclaimed in surprise, "Could this person be the first painter who created the scroll depicting Yaoyang City? But..."

“That’s not necessarily true,” Cui Wenxuan pondered. “The first mayor and the founder may not be the same person, and how could the founder of Yaoyang City have been the Evil God Scroll Master?”

In short, this statement revealed too much information, leaving everyone somewhat overwhelmed and unable to process it all at once.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Chen Shilong concealed the existence of this evil god.

But no matter what, it's impossible to hand over Yaoyang City to others.

"Excuse me, but Yaoyang City belongs to all the citizens of Yaoyang City," Cui Wenxuan said, unleashing his aura and leading the three Demon-Suppressing Immortal Masters to confront the enemy head-on, "not just any one person!"

"Oh~" the Flesh and Blood Sun Star Lord mocked, "After renting a house for a long time, you think it's your own?"

At first glance, what the other person said made a lot of sense.

But upon closer examination, it is clearly not the same thing.

"Perhaps that scroll depicting Yaoyang City belonged to you back then, but Yaoyang City today does not belong to any individual," Cui Wenxuan calmly retorted.

The reason is very simple.

The reason why the Heaven and Earth Scroll is called the Heaven and Earth Scroll is because it will merge into the heaven and earth and be shaped into a part of the heaven and earth.

Take Wu Xian's "Huaguo Mountain" as an example.

Before being created, Wu Xian naturally owned all of Flower Fruit Mountain, but after being created, it became part of the human world.

You can't exactly say the whole world belongs to you, can you?
How can the world belong to an individual?

Even the "belonging" under the feudal system was only temporary.

The saying goes, "The world belongs to all," meaning the world will always be public and can never be female (just an analogy, please don't take it personally).

Even if the demon god before us was the painter who created the scroll depicting Yaoyang City back then, he would at most be the designer of the house that is Yaoyang City, not the owner of the property.

Moreover, even property owners are merely "landlords" within the framework of the rules.

No one can truly own this land except heaven and earth themselves.

Just as Cui Wenxuan said, Yaoyang City now belongs to all its citizens, not to any single individual.

“Interesting,” the Flesh and Blood Demon God sneered. “A bunch of ants, actually taking themselves too seriously.”

That makes sense, though. If you're willing, you could indeed become part of this dojo.

Having said that, he stopped wasting words and fully unleashed the power from the demon god.

Boom boom boom...

The flesh and blood tissues in the world began to writhe and twist, sprouting deformed and bizarre arms and tentacles, like villi in a giant intestine, which began to wantonly slaughter everyone present, as well as monsters from the other three dimensions.

The war is about to start.

"Since they are old fogies left over from back then, they should follow the history of the past instead of crawling out of their coffins to wreak havoc on future generations!"

Cui Wenxuan gave a cold shout, and the three great demon-suppressing immortal masters attacked together.

Lü Zu, leading the charge, unleashed a series of pure Yang sword energies that pierced the sky, severing several grotesque fleshy tentacles in front of him.

The military and association experts also joined forces to participate in this earth-shattering battle.

In the sky, the eyes of the God of Mechanical Creation calmly watched the chaotic battle below, and the power of the entire Mechanical God Realm began to show a restless state.

At this moment, the god of mechanical creation also seems to be switching states.

The eyes that originally shone with a holy light gradually transformed into a pair of eyes that shone with a gray-black destructive power, and even the shape of the eyes changed slightly, becoming sharper.

boom!
Dark, gray-black divine light descended from the sky, relentlessly bombarding the flesh-and-blood Sun Star Lord.

At this moment, it should be called the Divine Light of Annihilation.

The God of Wealth was not idle either. In his Plague God form, he began to spread a terrifying plague around him, fundamentally suppressing the flesh and blood power of the evil god.

Wu Xian was surrounded by an aura of wealth, and the Jade Scroll Pleiades Star Lord appeared beside him.

"Um?!"

The flesh and blood Sun Star Lord, who had just been destroyed by the Divine Light of Annihilation, reformed and took shape again. When he saw the Pleiades Star Lord next to Wu Xian, his eyes flickered slightly, and he had a vague sense of bad premonition.

“The aura of divinity,” the Flesh and Blood Demon God’s expression shifted between light and shadow. “Someone actually managed to forge divinity into the scroll without the will of a true god?”

Perhaps she developed some kind of interest in Wu Xian.

The flesh and blood demon god appeared in front of Wu Xian in a flash, raising his hand to take Wu Xian down.

However, it was blocked by the aura of wealth and treasure surrounding Wu Xian's body.

"No, what kind of power is this that can stop me?"

Wu Xian retreated in surprise and doubt, feeling the rapidly depleting wealth, still shaken.

What just protected us from the evil spirits wasn't just wealth, but also a layer of incense and merit.

"Interesting. You seem to be a bit different from normal Invokers."

The demon god became increasingly interested in Wu Xian and was about to step forward to capture him when he was stopped by Jade Scroll Pleiades Star Lord and Little Dizi.

Meanwhile, the God of Wealth has also sent his support remotely.

A menacing cloud of tribulation gathered above Wu Xian's head, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling within it, as if a terrifying power of lightning was brewing.

Wu Xian didn't waste any words. As soon as the Mechanical Dao Ancestor appeared, the Mechanical Universe Array was activated.

Then, twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls emerged, radiating five-colored light. The Flesh and Blood Demon God was instantly blinded, unable to open his eyes, and all his senses were instantly blocked.

boom!
The surging lightning tribulation, like a thunder dragon, bombarded the flesh-and-blood demon god.
This is no longer ordinary thunder magic and lightning, but a heavenly tribulation thunder punishment imbued with the power of heaven and earth.

This is the strongest form of the God of Wealth after he transforms into a god, [controlling thunder and lightning].

The power of lightning tribulation is beyond doubt.

The flesh and blood demon had no way to avoid it. It was struck by the lightning tribulation on the spot, and its whole body was festering and charred. Countless strange flesh and blood tissues gushed out from the wounds and were burned by the lightning tribulation again.

It was as if some kind of chemical reaction had occurred within me.

Amidst the destruction and burning of the tribulation lightning, it continuously expanded and surged into a mass of charred flesh and blood.

boom!
Layers upon layers of charred flesh exploded with a deafening roar.

The flesh and blood demon god leaped out as if reborn, his face ashen, "Damn you!"

The next second, two streaks of golden light rushed toward him.

Click!

The furious, flesh-and-blood demon was instantly cut in half at the waist.

Unfortunately, the Golden Dragon Scissors were not very effective against the Flesh and Blood Demon God; at most, they could only interrupt or interfere with his actions.

After all, this thing can be reassembled even after being blasted into dust by the God of Annihilation.

sizzle...

As he expected, the flesh and blood demon that had been cut in half began to rapidly glue back together and recover.

"Interesting, truly interesting! You're becoming more and more intriguing to me!"

The flesh and blood demon suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

Unfortunately, the laughter was interrupted by a peculiar crowing of a rooster.

Under Wu Xian's control, Pleiades Star Lord seized the opportunity and let out a loud cry.

The crowing of the rooster echoes at dawn, changing the color of heaven and earth.

"Huh?!" The Flesh and Blood Demon God was startled, his face becoming noticeably stiff and pale.

The power emanating from the Radiant Sun Guard within this avatar seemed to have been awakened by the rooster's crow, and began to wreak havoc within him, greatly limiting the extent of his power.

Upon seeing this, the god of mechanical creation above unleashed a destructive divine light, shattering it.

This time, the process of the flesh and blood demon god reforming indeed became slower.

"Damn incarnation, it's nothing but a half-finished product left over from back then, how dare it try to rebel against me?"

Amidst the intertwined blood and flesh, the furious voice of the Blood and Flesh Demon God echoed.

"Don't rush, this is nothing!"

As Wu Xian sneered, the figures of the other six star lords appeared beside Yu Juan Mao Ri Xing Jun.

The Seven Mansions of the White Tiger are arranged in order!
Buzz~!

The Holy Spirit Realm emerged from beside the Mechanical Realm, opening up an ancient and profound starry sky.

A soul-stirring tiger's roar echoed from the depths of the starry sky, and boundless starlight illuminated the heavens and earth.
At this moment, the White Tiger Holy Spirit, blessed by the Holy Spirit Realm, truly manifested itself between heaven and earth. The killing aura surging around it alone turned all the claws and tentacles formed from flesh and blood around it into nothingness.

The flesh and blood demon god, which was in the process of reforming, was stunned.

"Damn it, what the hell is that?!"

In an instant, the newly formed power was completely suppressed.

Subsequently, under the powerful pounce of the White Tiger Holy Spirit, it completely shattered, and its consciousness was completely disconnected from the power of the [Radiant Sun Guardian] vessel.

After the flesh and blood demon was completely defeated, a dim and lifeless phantom of the painting spirit remained.

"It looks like Mayor Chen Shilong's Radiant Sun Guard?"

After examining it, Wu Xian silently stored the remaining Radiant Sun Guardian in his mind's eye for future use.

"Strange, isn't he the founder of Yaoyang City?"

Logically speaking, the Nine Luminaries Divine Guard should also be his creation; theoretically, he could freely condense any one of the Nine Luminaries Divine Guard.

Why borrow those two Radiant Sun Guards from Chen Shilong?
Just as he was wondering, another powerful aura surged from the dimensional rift and, amidst the churning flesh and blood, coalesced into the form of another Moon-Gazing Guardian.

"You underestimated me, kid!" The flesh-and-blood Moon Guardian's face was grim. "It seems the gods you've summoned are no ordinary beings! But that's fine too, they'll all become nourishment for me."

Having said that, it began to wreak havoc again.

The terrifying aura of flesh and blood was much stronger than before.

As Wu Xian was stunned and retreated, a giant tree with a faint glow rose from the ground behind him, and a strange phenomenon appeared with a bright moon in the sky.

I just used up so much energy with the [White Tiger Seven Mansions] technique and was just about to recover my spiritual power. What a coincidence!
Sensing the power of the Laurel Tree, the Flesh and Blood Demon God, who was preparing to retaliate, was dumbfounded. The power from the Moon Guardian within him began to rebel again, rendering him powerless.

Even more outrageous is that once the laurel tree takes root in the ground, the power it draws from its roots is even more ruthless than the strength of its flesh and blood.

They've even started to drive away and squeeze out the surrounding flesh and blood forces.

The God of Wealth, the God of Mechanical Creation, Cui Wenxuan, and a group of other experts were tasked with stopping the Moon Gazing Guardian version of the Flesh and Blood Demon God.

Meanwhile, Wu Xian silently accumulated spiritual power, preparing to unleash another [White Tiger Seven Constellations].

Just then, a familiar sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came.

The flesh-and-blood demon god in the midst of the chaotic battle suddenly shattered into countless pieces of flesh.

Amidst Wu Xian's astonishment, the others' faces lit up with wild joy.

Within the blood mist attempting to reform, a figure with a tiger-shaped [spiritual elephant] flowing around its body frowned, its spiritual energy and blood energy intertwining and circulating at high speed, forming an invisible force that continuously shredded the surrounding flesh and blood.

"Is it just an incarnation of an evil god?"

Old Master Wu Mingchang frowned slightly, and his body seemed to surge with energy, generating waves of energy that continuously crushed the power of flesh and blood.

"Grandpa, you're back?" Wu Xian stepped forward with joy.

It was clear that after the old man comprehended the ideas behind the Azure Dragon and White Tiger scroll, his spiritual power had increased significantly.

The image of the "White Tiger" spirit is becoming increasingly clear, revealing a majestic and fierce appearance, which is very domineering.

Wu Mingchang nodded slightly, looking around at the chaos and devastation, a strange anger simmering in his eyes.

Back then, he started the rebellion because he couldn't stand the way the upper class was harming the common people.

The horrific scene created by this demon god naturally fueled his rage.

"By the way, where's Grandma?" Wu Xian looked around curiously. "Didn't she come back with you?"

“We’re helping out in Yaoyang City,” Wu Mingchang said in a heavy tone. “Although you evacuated ordinary people in advance, the situation in Yaoyang City is still quite dire.”

Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Cui Wenxuan and the others clearly realized this as well, and without taking a break, they all returned to defend Yaoyang City.

Now that the dimensional rift has appeared, Yaoyang City is clearly experiencing a high-intensity dimensional invasion. Coupled with the continued infiltration of the evil forces, the situation is definitely not going to be good.
