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

Chapter 508 The Abyss of Flesh and Blood, He Is Wu Xian?
Or perhaps they've become addicted to eating faith?

However, given the recent rapid improvement in Da Wang Jun's "academic performance," it is still worthy of praise and commendation.

In short, as long as you listen to others and study hard, we, as your parents, will definitely try our best to meet your needs.

However, for every child who makes your life easy, there is a child who makes your life difficult.

On the other side of the mushroom farm, the God of Wealth, who was tutoring Xiaohong, was sometimes frustrated and sometimes sighing.

This is exactly what a parent who is going through a breakdown while helping their child with homework looks like.

But we can't blame Xiao Hong for this. After all, Xiao Hong's foundation was poor to begin with, and she hadn't even developed her intelligence yet, so it was naturally more troublesome to train her.

They arrived at the front-line dimensional rift.

The Taotie were no longer confined to the dimensional rift. With the counterattack of the human alliance, the Taotie followed in the footsteps of the human alliance and invaded the Abyss of Flesh and Blood.

For the Taotie, the Blood and Flesh Abyss is like a giant bone that can never be completely gnawed on.

Beyond the dimensional rift lay a vast, bloody void, a sky completely carved out by the gluttonous beast.

The Taotie only has a solid head; its body is a special spiritual entity that resembles empty smoke.

Therefore, the area surrounding this enormous hollow of flesh and blood is always shrouded in a layer of hazy void smoke, and the allied forces of various human factions have established a new front line in this hollow world.

To put it bluntly, the human camp is currently under the cover of the Taotie's body.

After all, it is difficult to establish a fixed position in the face of the endlessly growing force of flesh and blood.

Now, the Taotie's size has become enormous, and to the naked eye, only a few blurry outlines can be seen. It continues to devour the flesh and blood of the evil god.

Under the cover of the Taotie's body, the allied forces of humanity charged into battle, dealing with various flesh-and-blood monsters and scroll puppets.

Corpse beetles and parasites are digging "trench tunnels" ahead to facilitate the joint operations of various human forces.

The entire Flesh and Blood Abyss position looked quite well-organized, and the situation was very favorable.

At the very front of the position was a towering wall of flesh, riddled with holes and blood, blocking the advance of the human coalition.

Unfortunately, this wall of flesh and blood is being devoured by gluttons and riddled with holes by parasites and carrion beetles.

Those riddled holes are the battle tunnels through which various human forces routinely venture deep into the abyss of flesh and blood.

While each team operates independently, they are all under the unified command and coordination of the association.

Wu Xian went directly to the club members' position, where Xue Qingyang, Huang Lili, and others were resting and replenishing their supplies. They greeted Wu Xian with smiles as he arrived.

"Why is God Father here?" Huang Lili joked. "Given the current situation, we are enough. There is no need for God Father to take action personally."

“Sister Lily is right,” Xue Qingyang said proudly. “With Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen in our hands, those flesh and blood demons are nothing but chickens and dogs in front of us. We can kill them without any pressure. Only those evil races and evil god servants are a little troublesome.”

Wu Xian was not surprised by this.

On one hand, both the Evil Realm and the Demon God suffered heavy losses, and the Demon God is now in a state of mental breakdown, known as "Yu Yu".

On the other hand, as the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen transforms and improves, the Jiang Chen dungeons held by club members are also constantly getting stronger, making them more than capable of dealing with flesh and blood monsters.

Currently, the other teams on the front lines are not under much pressure, let alone the Underworld Club.

In fact, the fighting on all sides is mostly carried out by the younger generation.

The older generation only intervenes when there are critical opportunities or dangerous situations.

“The four Corpse Ancestors are all gathered. Let’s bring the other three Corpse Ancestors to test the waters,” Wu Xian said with a smile.

"?!" Xue Qingyang, Huang Lili, and the others' eyes lit up. "A zombie scroll as powerful as the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen?"

Wu Xian remained noncommittal, "That's natural, otherwise why would they be called the Four Great Corpse Ancestors?"

Although the four Corpse Ancestors vary in strength, in the world of the scroll, everyone starts from scratch, so the differences are not significant.

"Is it still provided free of charge?" Xue Qingyang asked with great interest.

"..." Wu Xian said irritably, "It won't cost you much money. You can use your battle merits or contribution points later to pay the cost. However, the four Corpse Ancestors are special and may not all be suitable for you. Just choose one that suits you and focus on cultivating it."

Currently, the four great corpse ancestors only have high initial research and development costs; the materials for subsequent replication are readily available.

With the help of the industrialized production of [Scroll Master], there is no shortage of supply.

It's both cheap and easy to use.

"Is that so? Then I'll stick with Jiang Chen's Corpse Ancestor," Xue Qingyang said, speechless. "It feels quite comfortable to use, and the life-steal skill is relatively simple and straightforward to use."

Wu Xian smiled and said, "The powers of the four Corpse Ancestors are all unique, there's bound to be one that suits you."

He had assumed the group would be interested in the different characteristics of the four Corpse Ancestors, but Huang Lili's question left him completely stunned: "Are there any handsome male gods among them?"

"..." Wu Xian's lips twitched. "No, but there is a fairy sister."

"Even a fairy sister is fine, who doesn't love a beautiful goddess?" Huang Lili had an attitude of appealing to both men and women. "A few of the girls in our club are quite fond of Jiang Chen, the Corpse Ancestor's, looks."

Wu Xian shook his head and smiled.

Perhaps this is what the world of anime and manga is all about?
Don’t understand, but respect.

"What are the main strategic objectives and targets of the campaign at the front?" Wu Xian asked seriously.

"Naturally, it's about opening up that flesh and blood world that contains countless ancient scrolls." Xue Qingyang said without hesitation, "To be honest, I don't quite understand why those people from all sides are so fond of ancient scrolls."

I've seen some restored ancient scrolls these past few days, and they're just so-so.

Huang Lili and others strongly agreed, "Indeed, some ancient scrolls look alright, but compared to Jiang Chen's Corpse Ancestor, they are far inferior."

"In short, he's not even worth a hair of Jiang Chen's ancestor," Xue Qingyang added. "Only those two gluttons, Bai Shiqi, have anything to offer."

“Everyone has their own expertise,” Wu Xian said with a smile. “The Corpse Ancestor is only good at dealing with evil gods, so he performs better. Those ancient scrolls naturally have their own areas of expertise and scenes.”

"I don't think so," Xue Qingyang scoffed at the ancient scrolls. "Yesterday I sparred with that idiot from the Necromancer's Guild. Even with the three golden scrolls working together, they weren't enough to defeat Jiang Chen, the Corpse Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was speechless.

All I can say is that the club members are eating way too well while following him.

What is a precious ancient scroll to other parties is of little appeal to the people in the club.

Of course, the main reason is that the birth of Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen was due to perfect timing, location, and human factors. He was born with advanced qualities and his subsequent growth and transformation were frighteningly fast, making him somewhat "overpowered".

"Where is our main force, and what are our combat objectives?" Wu Xian continued to inquire.

“Passage Four, a defensive position established by a servant of an evil god,” Huang Lili said.

"A defensive position?" Wu Xian asked in surprise. "Even the Demon God and his servants have begun to defend their homeland?"

Xue Qingyang joked, "The roles have been reversed, but speaking of which, those evil god servants are quite brave and fearless."

Subsequently, led by Xue Qingyang and Huang Lili, they entered the No. 4 flesh and blood passage and headed to the battlefield.

During the journey, I briefly inquired about the situation of the evil god's servant and the battlefield situation.

Battlefield Four wasn't just about them; there were other combat teams from various factions as well. Ultimately, the major sects and forces were the main force on the battlefield, while the Underworld Club, with its limited personnel, was at most playing a supporting role.

Even so, the Underworld Club still achieved good results and made numerous victories.

Other teams have to ask the members of the Underworld Club for help from time to time.

There's no way around it, the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen is just too overpowered.

Battlefield No. 4 was a small, flesh-and-blood world, clearly created by the evil god to temporarily block the human alliance.

The battlefield was a chaotic mix of people from all sides.

"Why are there civilian teams here?" Wu Xian looked around and quickly spotted some disorganized combat teams.

"They can't be entirely considered amateur teams," Huang Lili explained. "Those are teams that were formed at the call of the alliance and association. There are indeed many amateur players involved, and they are under the unified command of the association and alliance."

The majority of them are league players, and there are still many formidable figures among them.

Wu Xian understood and said no more, heading straight to the core battleground. Most of the club members were there, joining forces with the main teams to fight against the evil god's servant.

As before, the most troublesome thing about these evil god's servants is that they are impossible to kill.

As long as the flesh and blood of the demon gods continue, they can be resurrected indefinitely.

This is also the most difficult aspect of conquering the Blood Abyss.

Although all parties are thinking about and devising various countermeasures, the results are not good.

"Zhang Yao is here too?"

Before even reaching the main battlefield, Wu Xian spotted the cool silhouette of the mechanical Apollo in the distance. A broken, blazing sun, encased in a mechanical frame, hung high above the battlefield, illuminating the entire area as if it were daytime.

“That prodigy from the Demon God Dojo is indeed very strong,” Huang Lili said. “What, does God Father have a grudge against him?”

"No, not at all." Wu Xian shook his head with a strange expression.

In fact, he and Zhang Yao had basically no grudges, and even had some friendship.

He also wanted to test the power of the Queen of the Underworld, but with Zhang Yao present, it would inevitably be a bit awkward.

Soon, the club members fighting on the main battlefield saw Wu Xian, and they cheered and jumped for joy, welcoming the great vice president to his presence.

This also aroused the curiosity and attention of other teams.

"Is he Wu Xian? The genius who created this new world?"

"They look even smaller than us, really?"

"I heard he's the grandson of Elder Feng from the association, so his identity and background are quite impressive."

Who would have thought that the most outstanding talents in this human catastrophe would come from the association?
This caused some mental breakdown among the top students at various martial arts schools.

After all, the Nine Great Halls are the cradle of scroll painters and have always been recognized as a hall of fame by the vast majority of scroll painters.

The Scroll Painters' Association has always been a haven for mediocre scroll painters.

However, in this human catastrophe, it was actually a member of the association who turned the tide, making all the geniuses of the various academies pale in comparison.

Many of the people on the battlefield now are young people from various sides who arrived later and have no idea about Wu Xian's previous incredible performance.

Seeing Wu Xian's dazzling brilliance, the young people from all sides felt somewhat resentful.

Especially on the Demon God Dojo side, they couldn't help but take the opportunity to flatter their senior Zhang Yao, saying, "What association prodigy? He just happened to be the one who got the job."

"Exactly, whenever our senior Zhang Yao is around, how could he possibly stand out?"

"Senior Zhang Yao is the best in the world!"

Faced with the praise from his juniors, Zhang Yao's lips twitched wildly. "Say less, you guys are showing off yourselves, don't drag me into it."

Damn it, isn't this just deliberately making things difficult for him?

If you're not satisfied, go and challenge Wu Xian to a duel yourselves. Don't try to stir things up for me; I really can't beat Wu Xian.

They were already thoroughly defeated during the Mechanical Dojo Invitational Tournament.

"Brother, you are the pride of our Zhang clan. Are you afraid of Wu Xian?" A cousin from the Zhang family seemed to have a strange confidence and admiration for him.

"..." Zhang Yao's expression froze, looking slightly embarrassed.

He was truly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated, about his little brother who had followed him around since childhood.

Others might be stirring things up, but this guy genuinely believed he was invincible and the best older brother in the world.

"Ahem, Bo'er, it's not a matter of being afraid or not," Zhang Yao sighed softly, "Brother Wu and I have a life-or-death bond."

“A friend!” Zhang Bo, who looked a little young, suddenly realized, “To be able to become friends with my brother, he must be a very outstanding person.”

"..."

Zhang Yao felt secretly embarrassed and bitter.

Seeing Wu Xian arrive amidst the attention of everyone, as a friend, he naturally had to go up and welcome him.

"Brother Wu has actually come," Zhang Yao said with a smile as he approached. "It seems we should be able to take this place ahead of schedule."

"Brother Zhang Yao is here too~" Wu Xian nodded and smiled. "How's the situation right now?"

“Look,” Zhang Yao pointed to the evil god’s servant, which was being scorched by the blazing sun, constantly burning and growing flesh and blood, and helplessly spread his hands: “I suppressed it a long time ago, but I just can’t kill it.”

I've heard that the plague is incredibly effective against this stuff, but its effects seem quite limited here in the Abyss of Flesh.

"Is that so?" Wu Xian frowned slightly.

Among that pile of charred, deformed flesh and blood, there were indeed many plague-level forces, likely plague scroll contestants specially recruited by the Demon God Dojo.

However, the growth and development of the plague here is clearly restricted by the entire Abyss of Flesh and Blood.

In his mind's eye, the God of Wealth quickly offered his analysis: "That evil god isn't stupid either; he's clearly using the power of the entire abyss to limit the power of the plague."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The power of plague can indeed suppress the power of flesh and blood, but that is within the normal framework of the rules of heaven and earth.

Now that the special event has moved to the Blood and Flesh Abyss, things are not so simple anymore.

After all, the demon god has essentially taken control of this other dimension. Although the power cannot be fully integrated due to the savage growth of flesh and blood, it still has a certain degree of control over this other dimension.

To put it bluntly, the evil god directly erased or blocked the rule that plague restrains flesh and blood at the rule level.

Only then did Wu Xian realize that completely eradicating the evil god was far more difficult than he had previously imagined.

Fighting on the human side and fighting on the flesh and blood side are two completely different concepts.
