first published on sis. Chapter 199:
"These wings... is it Xia Jiang?"
Just as I thought of this, the wingtips that had just emerged suddenly plummeted down. But before I could recover
, accompanied by a piercing female cry, the pure white wings once again burst out of the hole in the center of the platform.
Xia Jiang, shimmering with dazzling light, finally leaped out. But her leap was unusually strange. She
showed no trace of the domineering and arrogant
"Martial God" demeanor she had displayed in the Xuanyuan Ancient City. Instead, she seemed to be fleeing in panic... As
soon as she came out, countless terrifying arms emerged from the hole. These black, slender arms, covered in
disgusting black slime, frantically clawed at the edge of the hole until they were sure that Xia Jiang had flown into the air and
they couldn't reach her. Then, they all retreated back to the ground below the platform.
Seeing this, Yan Zilu, sitting on the ground, showed a shocked and stunned expression. He muttered,
"What's going on? There's another goddess here?"
Yan Zilu's voice wasn't loud, but I heard him clearly. I realized that Yan Zilu probably
still didn't know about the existence of Xia Jiang, this "goddess." Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising... Although he, Daye, and Zhu Xi
were known as the "Three Hidden Sects," their relationship was far from that of ordinary partners. Each
had their own power, their own goals, and their own hidden agendas. Zhu Xi wanted to liberate Xuan Nu and then establish a soul contract with her
to achieve immortality and ascend to heaven; Yan Zilu's goal was similar, but his target was his mother, this
"goddess of youth"; while Daye seemed to have little interest in immortality, instead focusing solely on "spreading Buddhism
and saving all sentient beings!" Even if these three, seemingly united, were to unite, they would inevitably harbor suspicion towards the other two
. In this way, Yan Zilu had no idea of the true purpose of Zhu Xi's series of actions
, only learning the general information about Zhu Xi's failure and death after his passing. Daye and Zhu Xi were
"dual cultivation" partners, and their relationship was much closer than Yan Zilu's. She might know a little more about the specifics of Zhu Xi's situation
, but clearly, she didn't "share" the information with Yan Zilu!
Noticing that Yan Zilu was clearly distracted after seeing Xia Jiang, I gritted my teeth and tried to shake my shoulders. Although my
body hadn't fully recovered from the numbness, I could still roll over by twisting my shoulders. Before,
when facing Yuan Fangfang's "assassination attempt," similar slow rolls were futile. Thinking that I should die with some dignity,
I simply stopped moving! Realizing that Yan Zilu's attention was entirely focused on
Xia Jiang, who was still confused about the situation on the platform and lingering in mid-air, I immediately rolled sideways towards Yan Zilu without hesitation
.
To me, Xia Jiang's appearance at this moment was rather pathetic, but Yan Zilu was dazzled by the sight. Previously, he
only knew of his mother as the "goddess" who could grant his wishes, so he was single-mindedly focused on gaining
her favor, even going so far as to kidnap her at any cost. Now
that a new, alternative "substitute" had appeared, it's not surprising that he had "different thoughts" about her!
Compared to his mother, Xia Jiang probably fit his ideal "goddess" concept even better! His mother,
without wings, though still possessing divine power, was ultimately a "defective product," while Xia Jiang
was a newly appeared "perfect" goddess. However, Yan Zilu was clearly observing the newly appeared Xia Jiang
… he was trying to understand Xia Jiang's specific situation and divine abilities. For years, he had secretly plotted against my mother
, so he knew her abilities and weaknesses inside and out. In the Burial Valley, if I hadn't intervened at the last
minute, he would have almost captured her. That
was why he later tried every means to kill me. But Xia Jiang's appearance gave me a chance to turn the tables...
A few seconds, not long, not short, but I successfully somersaulted to his side.
By the time he realized it, my clothes were already ablaze. Even though she was known as "Emperor Rui," she
could only scream and leap up to dodge my "flaming body"! Seeing this, Chunri and the others in the pit couldn't help
but cheer. Yan Zilu's screams and the noise from Chunri and the others finally attracted Xia Jiang's
attention in the air. After seeing us "acquaintances," the girl immediately flapped her wings and flew straight towards our
location.
Seeing this, Yan Zilu decisively abandoned his plan to kill me without hesitation. He patted the flames burning on his body and
ran towards his mother, attempting to forcibly carry her away, still unconscious. However, before he could reach her,
someone else blocked his way!
"Yan Zilu…I'm going to kill you!" Liu Huiru, brandishing a short knife she'd picked up from somewhere,
slashed at him wildly. Facing a woman with whom he had a "relationship" and intimate contact, Yan Zilu delivered a side kick,
knocking her to the ground. But Sun Cong, who had just arrived after Liu Huiru, grabbed him by the waist and caused him to fall. The weakened
Sun Cong lacked the strength to fight Yan Zilu, and almost instantly, Yan Zilu shoved him aside
. However, by the time Yan Zilu scrambled to his feet, he had no chance of abducting his mother.
Xia Jiang landed beside his mother from mid-air and helped her up.
His mother regained consciousness as Xia Jiang helped her. The moment Yan Zilu saw Xia Jiang, he gave her the order:
"...Kill, kill this man!"
Xia Jiang, however, was clearly confused by her mother's request, looking utterly bewildered.
Taking advantage of Xia Jiang's hesitation, Yan Zilu turned and sprinted towards the entrance passage beneath the altar.
Many survivors were startled to see Yan Zilu's escape route, but then some realized that the Dominator
was being held back by Xiao Suyan! They immediately rushed towards the entrance passage beneath the altar. The reason
they didn't choose the external ramp was because the battle zone between Xiao Suyan and the Dominator was
closer there. Among those who escaped, I even saw Daye. Rinpoche's figure! This "female Living Buddha"
When the Dominator was hunting down the group on the platform, she clearly intended to preserve her strength. Without the Dominator targeting her, she
, like her mother and the others, simply fled with the crowd. Now, seeing an opportunity, she
didn't care about continuing to cause me trouble and chose to slip away as well…
My mother, now awake, was extremely weak. After failing to persuade Xia Jiang to kill, she lacked the strength to speak further
. Ultimately, she could only watch helplessly as Yan Zilu, Daye, and the others rushed towards the entrance below the altar. To
my surprise, while the vast majority of survivors took the opportunity to escape, some still
gave up this rare chance and didn't run with them…
Liu Huiru and Sun Cong didn't leave. Liu Huiru naturally wanted to escape, but fearing Yan Zilu might turn around and
attack her, she ultimately didn't follow the crowd. Sun Cong seemed unable to run;
it was a miracle he had survived this long. He had even exhausted his last bit of
strength trying to stop Yan Zilu… Chen Xiaowei also didn't flee with the others. Despite her mother claiming she was Yan Zilu's daughter and lover,
it was clear that this father and daughter, with their incestuous relationship, were now complete strangers. At least during their
time on the platform, Yan Zilu hadn't shown Chen Xiaowei even the slightest bit of attention! It seemed that in Yan Zilu
's eyes, even his own daughter was merely a tool to be used or a
woman for sex. At this moment, she arrived at Chunri and the others' side, dragging
the saintesses stuck in the quicksand pit. On the platform ground, two women lay nearby… Yuan Fangfang and
the still unconscious Guanxue.
Yan Zilu took the lead, disappearing first into the passageway below the altar. Following closely behind, the fastest-
reacting male survivors also successfully entered the passageway. Just as a tall lama
was about to step into the passage, the Dominator's furious, beast-like howl echoed from the platform!
Realizing that "prey" had already slipped into the passage, the survivors abandoned their continuous attacks on Xiao Suyan and
rushed towards the altar passage at an astonishing speed...
The Dominator's roar clearly had a strong psychological deterrent effect; the tall lama trembled upon hearing it and actually collapsed
at the entrance. His massive size caused him to block the lower half of the entrance.
Several escapees following closely behind were tripped up because of him and ended up huddled together at the entrance.
Seeing this, I inwardly cried out in alarm!
Survival is a human instinct! Therefore, I didn't resent these survivors for abandoning me, my mother, and Chunri and the others
to flee on their own. Even out of a basic humanitarian sense, I hoped that
the vast majority of those fleeing at this moment could actually use this fleeting opportunity to escape this spiral city's top platform, which resembled a human slaughterhouse
. Of course, this did not include Yan Zilu and Daye, the two
"instigators" who had caused this situation.
However, the saying "Good people don't live long, but evil people live a thousand years" was once again ruthlessly proven true!
While the other survivors were still worried about their companions blocking the entrance, Daye, who had just arrived, showed no
hesitation. She instantly drained the water from the bodies of those blocking the entrance, turning them into mummies.
Then, she smashed through the corpses and plunged into the entrance. As her figure disappeared, a thick, transparent, and shimmering
ice wall appeared inside the entrance.
Before those following behind could recover from Daye's cruelty, the Dominator had already rushed to
the side of the entrance! Seeing the mummies and the ice wall inside the entrance, the Dominator let out another extremely angry
howl! Was it because someone had successfully left the platform? Or because Daye had stolen its
"prey"? But its rage immediately descended upon the other survivors gathered at the entrance. Amidst the terrifying
tearing sounds, several bloody skeletons appeared around the mummies at the entrance.
Just as the Dominator was about to continue hunting down the remaining survivors who were scattering from the vicinity of the altar passage,
Xiao Suyan, who was manipulating the Nine Cauldrons for self-defense, finally caught up with them and arrived near the passage.
Previously, before the Dominator's lightning strike, Xiao Suyan, having successfully activated the Nine Cauldrons, had simply focused on defense.
This was because after activating the Nine Cauldrons, he immediately began performing a series of hand seals. Now, he had finally completed
his "second hand seal," and upon arriving at the passage, he launched an attack on the Dominator!
Surrounded by the Nine Cauldrons, three handle-like objects appeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Suyan. He casually
grasped two of them, leaving the third floating, and then repeatedly swung his hand in a thrusting
motion towards the Dominator…
Accompanying Xiao Suyan's thrusting motion, I heard a "hissing" sound as
air was cut through, and slightly transparent, colored air currents appeared between the Dominator and Xiao Suyan. These currents displayed red and blue
colors, the colors fleeting. The Dominator, however, was clearly injured. Under Xiao Suyan's thrusts, its body staggered
backward, leaving several dark blue liquid marks on the ground!
Having succeeded in his attack, Xiao Suyan immediately increased the speed of his thrusts, pressing towards the Dominator. For a moment
, it seemed as if they were evenly matched…
Xia Jiang did not attack Yan Zilu as her mother had requested. Instead, after Yan Zilu and the others turned and fled,
she hugged her mother and knelt on the ground, babbling a lot of words incomprehensible to the others
, before burying her head in her mother's arms… like a frightened child seeking
comfort in her mother's embrace.
I don't know what Xia Jiang said, but I noticed that my mother, who had already regained consciousness , now
showed a horrified expression. Along with her horror, her eyes, looking at the Dominator not far away, revealed
an indescribable fear…
The numbness was fading, and I was finally able to stand up from the ground. Seeing the survivors
rushing towards the connection between the external ramp and the platform again, I immediately realized this was another rare opportunity
. I staggered over to Chunri and the others, whom Chen Xiaowei had just dragged out.
"I'll stay and support Lao Xiao…you guys quickly take my mom, Guanxue, Fangfang, and the others…"
"Go back and find Wang Lie and the others!" With that, I turned and rushed towards the spot where Xiao Suyan was fighting the Dominator!
But before I could take two steps, I heard my mother's "telepathic message." "...Child, Mother won't
leave!"
My mother's words made me stop. When I turned to look at her, I saw an almost
desperate desolation in her eyes. Before I could ask any questions, my mother immediately explained why she wasn't leaving.
"...Because Mom and Xia Jiang are being targeted by that thing and we can't escape!"
"Your Red Lotus should have noticed the dark shadow inside Mom's body... That shadow is that thing's divine domain mark
! If we can't remove this mark, even if we escape to the ends of the earth, that thing can sense and discover our
existence and exact location. Just like your Red Lotus flame... no, even stronger than your Red Lotus flame. Your
flame has a time limit, but its mark will never disappear unless it dies! So even if we manage to escape
for a while, that thing will soon catch up and eat us!"
"W-what did you say? That thing doesn't mean it'll eat you and Xia Jiang too? It...it wasn't eating you just now, it
was only eating people, wasn't it?"
"Good things are always saved for last... Now I understand why it didn't attack me first
! Didn't you see Xia Jiang's expression? Why do you think she was so terrified? Because she
saw something in Spiral City that terrified her... the Chosen Ones! Spiral City is full of
the remains and corpses of the Chosen Ones! I couldn't figure out what this thing was all about before, but now I finally understand! I understand why it's
so powerful, so terrifying! It... it devoured all the Chosen Ones left in Spiral City... yeah, maybe
not just... I'm afraid that over the past few thousand years, all the Chosen Ones who awakened their divine power and returned to the core of Kunlun
have ultimately become its food... Heh heh heh... We will all die... you, me, and everyone else...
Heh heh heh..."
My mother probably didn't know how to explain anymore, and as she spoke, she let out a nearly desperate, bitter laugh!
My mother's bitter laugh made me dizzy, but at this moment I had no
intention of comforting or persuading her. I simply turned around and resolutely walked towards the Dominator step by step!
Xia Jiang's experiences clearly caused her mother new and severe psychological trauma! She became somewhat
hysterical as a result… I know very little about psychology and have no idea how to help her in her current
state. Instead, amidst my mother's bitter laughter, I confirmed my current position!
Now, I am simply a warrior fighting for myself and for the lives of others! Since all the fear
stems from the so-called ruler shrouded in black mist… then for me, killing it should
solve all the trouble!
I don't know just how "terrifying" or "powerful" this ruler is, that it has
frightened my mother and Xia Jiang to the point of giving up resistance. I only saw that Xiao Suyan's attack had indeed
caused actual damage to this thing. I couldn't let Old Xiao fight alone…
As I walked, I felt as if I had stepped on something. Looking down, I saw an automatic rifle abandoned on the ground
. The rifle turned red-hot after I stepped on it, seemingly melting gradually. For some reason, I
suddenly remembered Daye's feat of condensing water into weapons. I bent down and grabbed the metal that was already liquefying
. After I held it in my hand, the metal stopped liquefying further, and then a layer of burning
flames appeared on its surface. Looking at the thing in my hand, I recalled
the scythe I used when fighting Daye in the ancient sewers of my hometown… The shape of the metal immediately changed, eventually forming the shape of a scythe in my hand. I
saw a rifle beside me and grabbed that too. The rifle quickly melted and soon formed
a fiery red hammer…
“Huh… a scythe and a hammer… isn’t this… the symbol of XXX? How come I never realized before that I
had such deep feelings for the organization? Hmm, it must be a coincidence… that time when Wang Lie called me to Liziping on business,
I happened to buy a hammer to beat up zombies…”
"...I remember seeing my mom giving that agent oral sex at the hot spring hotel before going to Liziping...I was so angry I
kicked and punched passing cars in the street...then I ran into Ye Tong...and then I met the German guy at the rest stop
...those two are quite funny! Hmm...and then there's Xia Jiang...right, she seems
a little fatter now than before...a little fatter is good, she's got flesh on her skin, feels nice to touch...before that ancient fortress in the Burial Valley
...right, now that I think about it, that agent turning against me and stealing my silk painting was probably something
I deliberately planned, just to get the painting into the hands of Xue Zong and his people without arousing suspicion.
If that's the case, why did she go and eat that agent's dick? Oh...right, she was deliberately trying to annoy me...
to stimulate my jealousy and make me want to possess her..."
Lost in thought, a dark shadow flashed past my eyes!
Having learned from its previous mistakes, the Dominator didn't engage Xiao Suyan in a prolonged fight, but instead targeted the
survivors who were trying to escape via the outer ramp. As it moved, it happened to pass right in front of me…
"Yan Ping, attack!" Xiao Suyan's roar echoed in my ears. Without thinking, I twisted my body
and swung my right scythe.
"...Clang!" The scythe struck the Dominator's body with a dull metallic clang!
"...Undying Spirit!" My mother's whispered words almost immediately followed in my mind.
The black energy ignited upon contact with the scythes, causing the Dominator to cease its pursuit of the fleeing survivors. After
letting out an angry and terrifying howl, its body rapidly transformed. It retracted its black wings, spun
once, and then its massive serpentine body revealed a three-headed, six-armed form. As it transformed, the flames burning on its body
extinguished…
“…Golden Body Dharma Form!”
I ignored my mother’s whispered instructions and forcefully swung my left hand, slamming the burning hammer hard into
one of the Dominator’s arms…
Another “empty” sound! The Dominator remained motionless, seemingly oblivious, while I felt my arm tremble.
...It felt like striking thick steel. The Dominator's serpentine tail lashed out like a whip at my waist,
sending me sprawling backward.
A sharp, piercing sound rang out; Xiao Suyan's "Invisible Sword Qi" deflected the Dominator's lashing tail,
allowing me to escape the subsequent blows and rise again.
"...Huff, huff, huff,"
Xiao Suyan's breathing was unusually heavy, and his attacks lacked the initial sharpness and speed. Only then did I
realize that the three objects floating before him were actually three empty sword hilts. However, he now seemed unable
to sustain the dual-sword attack, instead gripping the third sword hilt with both hands, slowly stabbing out
yellow sword marks to maintain his attack on the Dominator…
“…Lianxiao? The other two should be Hanguang and Chengying… I didn’t expect the legendary Three Swords of the Yin Emperor to
be on this little guy? Right… his surname is Xiao, so he must be a direct descendant of the Yin Shang. No wonder he’s so arrogant
, he certainly has the right to be arrogant. With these three invisible swords, even I don’t have absolute confidence in suppressing him.
But, it’s a pity. The strength of your opponent far surpasses mine and Xia Jiang’s… you and he have no chance of winning
. Those three swords were activated at the cost of burning his own life, he’s almost at his limit… you and he,
and we will ultimately not escape the fate of being completely devoured by this monster…”
“Enough! Shut up!” I could no longer tolerate my mother’s constant whispers in my ear and shouted at the top of my lungs
. "Instead of nagging like an old woman, why don't you come and fight alongside
us and risk your life against this monster!"
The recoil from the hammer striking the Dominator's arm again enraged me! But the distinct feeling of force also
inexplicably excited me! I swung my scythe and hammer with all my might, hacking at the monster in front of me, and even hurled the most vicious words at my mother that
I myself could hardly believe.
"Weren't you always so awesome? Calculating this and that... acting like
you had everything under control! But now you're like a coward, just sighing and complaining! Just waiting to die
... A chosen one? A god among men? Pah! Just sit there and wait to die, watch me! Watch how I
kill this bastard... I'll smash its bones and stew it like snake meat... Ugh, damn it..."
The Dominator moved swiftly, like a ghost, twisting its body to avoid most of my attacks, then punched me
to the ground. Its strength was astonishing; I felt like every bone in my body was about to crack. But an increasingly
intense surge of mental excitement propelled me to leap up again and pounce on it...
My mother, stunned by my unbridled cursing, stopped whispering in my ear, her whole body
trembling uncontrollably!
At that moment, I felt like a complete scoundrel... My attacks were haphazard, my movements purely instinctive, my mind filled only
with the thought of dying together with the opponent!
Faced with my relentless attacks, the Dominator lost all interest in "playing" with us.
It once again unleashed a torrent of black energy that filled the entire platform. Just as I thought it was about to
unleash its all-encompassing "Dark Domain" and prepared to counter it, I found myself dangling in mid-air, my body
floating uncontrollably…
Not just me, everyone on the platform instantly entered a state of weightlessness! Old Xiao and I
were relatively unscathed; our minds were highly focused, and we immediately became aware of the sudden change in our surroundings.
The truly unfortunate ones were the survivors who had reached the outer ramp. The moment they stepped onto the ramp, they thought
escape was within reach, but this joy lasted only a moment before they were once again enveloped by the Dark Domain
, losing control of their future once more.
"...Gravity Domain,"
my mother's whispered words echoed in my ears again! At this moment, I understood that my mother's whispers weren't
just simple nagging... Her whispers might have contained a negative undertone, forcing me to face reality, but they also
reminded me of the abilities that monster was using. And every statement she mentioned seemed to belong to some kind of divine
power!
However, I couldn't think about anything else at this moment. Instead, I struggled to move my limbs,
swimming like an astronaut towards the Dominator. The Dominator seemed annoyed by my and Xiao Suyan's harassment, and
was swimming towards the survivors struggling frantically in zero gravity on the slope... It clearly possessed
the ability to move freely in zero gravity.
"Bastard, scum... cowardly bully... come at me if you dare..."
In a sense, I didn't really care about the lives of those survivors on the slope. Nor was I interested in sacrificing
myself to save them! Just as Yan Zilu said, the only person I truly cared about was my mother! If we add to
that, there's Xia Jiang, Chunri, and a few others... To be frank, I
risked my life against the Dominator just to ensure the survival of these people who had already secured their place in my heart. But the survivors' almost complete disregard for me
ignited a strong resentment within me. This resentment, combined with a strange surge of excitement, made me,
for once, "pretend" to be a hero!
However, my provocation, or rather, my taunt, was utterly useless against the Dominator. It
rapidly approached the survivors who were spinning and struggling in mid-air, following its own will...
At that moment, I remembered Xiao Suyan. His "Three Swords of the Yin Emperor" seemed to possess long-range attack
capabilities. Even in this immobile state, he should be able to disrupt and restrain the Dominator
's actions. I immediately turned to look at his location. Upon seeing it, I was stunned. Xiao Suyan
had completely ceased his attacks on the Dominator, instead hovering in the air in a cross-legged, energy-gathering posture
! He released the hilt of the Lianxiao Sword, letting the "Three Swords" spin and float before him, while simultaneously beginning
a new round of hand seals! I noticed that as he formed the seals, his eyes darted around, as if he
were pondering a problem, or perhaps communicating with someone in some way.
"What's going on? What's wrong with this guy? Is he about to cast some new powerful spell? No, wait, he seems
to be whispering to someone..." Thinking this, I abruptly turned my head to look at my mother and Xia Jiang.
Sure enough, I saw that my mother's expression was almost exactly the same as Xiao Suyan's. Seeing this, I understood
. My mother had somehow established a "telepathic" connection with Xiao Suyan, and they
were talking to each other. I don't know why, but I immediately felt a strong pang of jealousy; a long-
dormant bitterness surged into my heart once more…
The Dominator in the weightless zone swam like an eel to a survivor's side, and amidst the survivor's despairing
expression, it once again opened its mouth, which was always shrouded in black mist… Just as it was about to snap its head and bite the survivor
, a figure leaped up from below the slope. Using the momentum of its leap, the figure shot into the area shrouded in black divine energy like an arrow , crashing heavily 　　into the Dominator
with a neighing sound like a horse . 　　The moment the Dominator was struck, the black mist that enveloped the platform vanished again. As the black aura vanished 　　, the weightlessness also dissipated, and I was caught completely off guard, 　　plummeting heavily to the ground from several meters in the air. When I finally came to my senses and got up, Wang Lie's image appeared in my field of vision 　　… 　　This guy, riding that white wild horse, charged straight at the already landed Dominator from the platform, launching another 　　attack! 　　Perhaps influenced by the sudden surge of jealousy, or perhaps because the scene before me 　　was too unbelievable, I stared blankly at everything unfolding before my eyes, my mind a complete 　　blank. 　　…I saw Wang Lie and the white horse charge towards the Dominator. The Dominator swung its tail, and 　　the white horse, to avoid the sweep, reared up, its two flailing front hooves striking the Dominator. The Dominator 　　barely reacted; instead, the white horse and Wang Lie were thrown to the ground. 　　Wang Lie landed with agility, rolled twice, and then unleashed his signature 　　"Tai Chi Break" attack on the Dominator. Countless explosive ripples flashed around the Dominator's body... The white horse, after getting up 　　, began running around the Dominator, seemingly looking for a suitable opportunity to attack. 　　Everything unfolded before my eyes like a silent film. I didn't expect to rush to help Wang Lie and the white horse; 　　instead, I inexplicably noticed something: I didn't hear the sound of the white horse's hooves, nor 　　the explosive sound that the "Tai Chi Break" should normally produce! 　　"No, no way... Could it be that I went deaf just now?" 　　Just as I was shocked and stunned by my own discovery, I suddenly heard 　　the sound of a guitar! The melody was high-pitched and passionate, instantly igniting my fighting spirit! 　　Almost involuntarily, I brandished my scythe and hammer and ran wildly towards the Dominator. 　　The Dominator emerged from the smoke of "Tai Chi Break," its figure darting behind Wang Lie with ghostly grace 　　. Its black arm transformed into a long cone, piercing Wang Lie's back. Even 　　a tough man like Wang Lie couldn't help but let out a piercing scream. Just as it was about to follow up with another attack, a talisman floated to 　　its side and burst into flames. The Dominator casually flicked its wrist in the direction the talisman had come from, and 　　Lan Jian, who had released it, collapsed to the ground with a muffled groan. 　　Temporarily losing her "Moment" ability, Chunri ran sideways, throwing her steel 　　cone weapon at the Dominator. But as the cone struck the Dominator's body with a clanging sound, she was struck by some invisible force and 　　collapsed to the ground. The Dominator let out a hoarse, triumphant laugh, opening its mouth to bite Wang Lie's shoulder, but unexpectedly, 　　a white figure descended from the sky, a pair of snow-white arms constricting its neck. 　　The white figure possessed considerable strength, forcefully halting the Dominator's attack on Wang Lie. Simultaneously, 　　it entangled itself with the Dominator from behind, both crashing to the ground and tumbling. From the flashing, fluttering white 　　wings during the roll, I recognized Xia Jiang's identity! This 　　"Valkyrie," who, like her mother, had previously dared not challenge the Dominator, was now unusually brave and frenzied. While wrestling with her opponent, 　　she opened her mouth and began to bite at the Dominator shrouded in black mist. The Dominator, of course, wouldn't stand idly by; as Xia Jiang bit it 　　, it also turned and bit at Xia Jiang's body… 　　"Ugly…this is the ugliest battle I've ever seen…" 　　A goddess radiating white, holy light versus a demon king surrounded by dark aura…I had imagined 　　what a battle between these two would be like. But reality left me only with an indescribable sense of disappointment 　　and regret. 　　There were no dazzling battle scenes, no elaborate fighting styles. 　　The way these two beings, who should be revered by humanity, fought was no different from the struggle between wild beasts! Or 　　perhaps they were simply animals themselves! 　　Of course, I had no right to mock or despise their current fighting style, because humans themselves 　　are animals! Our higher intelligence makes us call ourselves "the pinnacle of all creation," and 　　the only difference between Xia Jiang and the Dominator and animals is that they possess so-called "divine power." 　　"The altar…use every means possible to get that guy to the altar!" 　　My mother's "secret" rang in my ears. A bitter feeling immediately began to gnaw at my heart again, 　　but I had no thought or intention to resist or defy my mother's will. A fleeting glimmer of reason told me that 　　my mother had probably fully returned to her normal state…she was planning, scheming against the 　　"Dominator" before her! 　　And I knew perfectly well that the bitterness I felt at that moment stemmed entirely from my almost 　　obsessive love for my mother! Because I loved her, I developed a strong possessive desire for her! Driven by this possessiveness, I instinctively 　　rejected any other person of the same sex who tried to approach or interact with her! Even knowing that my mother and 　　Xiao Suyan's secret conversation was undoubtedly a discussion about how to deal with this "Dominator," I 　　still felt jealous and envious… 　　Understanding this, I didn't hesitate for a moment! I rushed towards Xia Jiang and the Dominator, who were entangled together, with all my might. 　　…After rolling a distance, the Dominator broke free from Xia Jiang's "bindings." In this…

In the fierce battle between the "females," the Dominator was clearly the victor! Xia Jiang suffered
severe injuries and exhausted her strength in the brief struggle. Her previously exposed white divine domain completely receded into her body, and
she collapsed to the ground, panting. Meanwhile, the black aura emanating from the Dominator, who had risen again, intensified
!
"...Crack!" Another talisman exploded beside the Dominator! Yong Hui, standing beside the altar steps,
launched this attack on the Dominator. Enraged by its "reckless" provocation, the Dominator abandoned
Xia Jiang and pounced on Yong Hui.
Seeing the Dominator approaching, Yong Hui seemed terrified, forgetting to run away and trembling beside the steps
. The Dominator hissed and sucked, and upon reaching Yong Hui, it opened its mouth and bit down on her shoulder and
neck...
Large ripples appeared in the air around the steps. The area before the Dominator was empty, and Yonghui
's figure reappeared at the highest stone platform of the altar. Behind her sat Xiao Suyan, who sat cross-legged
, with the Nine Cauldrons' spirits spinning rapidly around him.
Deceived by Yonghui's illusion, the Dominator roared furiously and twisted its body to climb the first
step of the altar, but then stopped as if realizing something. In that moment of hesitation, I finally caught up
behind it and charged towards it recklessly.
In my vision, the Dominator's body began to twist abnormally, clearly to avoid
my charge. At full speed, I couldn't change course, and just when I thought my efforts were
in vain, I heard Wang Lie's roar.
"...Heaven and Earth Binding!"
The Dominator's movement froze! I had finally made "close contact" with the Dominator!
As I slammed into it, I reversed my grip on the scythe in my right hand, and the curved, fiery red blade immediately jammed against the Dominator
's waist. I roared, pushing the Dominator with all my might towards the highest platform of the altar. But to my surprise,
I only managed to push it to the fourth step of the nine-step platform before it became completely immobile. The Dominator's body
was like a mountain, firmly nailed to the ground. Ignoring the raging flames engulfing me, the Dominator twisted its arm
and grabbed my neck, its head, shrouded in layers of black mist, twisting behind its back. Our
eyes locked for a fleeting moment.
"No… this… this is impossible!"
In that instant, my Crimson Lotus Eye pierced through the layers of black mist surrounding the Dominator's head! A pair of
clear, jewel-like blue eyes fixed upon my burning golden pupils! As the eyes revealed themselves,
the true face of the Dominator was then presented before my eyes…
Clear, deep blue eyes, slender, curved eyebrows, a firm, delicate nose, soft lips, and rosy
lips—I saw a face of indescribable beauty! What shocked me even more was that,
shrouded in black mist, countless long, writhing snakes adorned the top and sides of this tragically beautiful face. This
astonishing discovery left me momentarily stunned. I never imagined that this ferocious
demon, which had devoured countless human flesh and blood, could be so beautiful. Its beauty might not surpass my mother's, but it
belonged to a completely different type from both my mother and Xia Jiang. My mother's beauty was vibrant, like a blooming rose, pleasing to the eye;
Xia Jiang was alluring, and if it weren't for her consistently dazed and confused actions that diminished her seductive power, her appearance alone could
ignite a strong physical desire in men. This Dominator, however, gave off a cool, aloof beauty, like
a fairy untouched by worldly concerns.
While I was lost in thought, the Dominator suddenly transformed into a ferocious expression, opening her cherry-like
mouth to reveal two rows of sharp, white teeth, and extending her forked tongue like a venomous snake. My eyes,
in a state of unconsciousness, emitted a golden flash…
The experience I had before surged through my body like an electric current!
"…Judgment!"
Like Dongfang Ying before her, wisps of blue smoke immediately billowed from the Dominator's blue eyes, and she let out
a miserable scream! At the same time as the scream, her body, nailed to the ground, began to loosen. Countless images and scenes appeared before my eyes
, constantly flooding my brain. I absorbed the information from these images
, and driven by instinct, I exerted my strength again, pushing the trembling Dominator to the top of the altar in one go!
The ground at the top of the altar was stained with blood… Xiao Suyan's arms were covered with cuts and residual blood.
Once he confirmed that the Dominator had completely entered the uppermost area of the altar, he crossed his hands and quickly chanted an
obscure incantation.
As the incantation was recited, the Nine Cauldrons Spirit emitted a series of clear chimes, its swirling trajectory
expanding until it covered the entire altar.
"It's done... Go!"
Xiao Suyan roared, leaping up and rushing down the altar. Yonghui, however,
had already fled like a rabbit the moment I pushed the Dominator onto the altar.
Hearing Xiao Suyan's warning, I released the scythe in my right hand, threw down the hammer in my left, and retreated to
the edge of the top. Then, my back foot slipped, and I tumbled down the altar steps. When my body crashed heavily
outside the altar, the Nine Cauldrons Spirit emitted a deafening metallic clang... A blurry, slightly translucent
light curtain immediately enveloped the entire altar!
I shakily struggled to sit up, muttering to myself, "Is that all? Is it all
over?"
Wang Lie, clutching his chest wound, staggered to my side. "Not yet! This is only a temporary
restoration of the Nine Cauldrons Seal... If we don't find a way to reinforce and repair the seal immediately, this monster
will break free and regain its freedom soon!"
"Is that so? How long can this temporary seal last?" I asked, panting.
"At most a day, maybe only a few hours!" Wang Lie said, finally collapsing
to the ground.
"...A few hours? Are you looking down on me? It's true the seal is temporary, but don't you think about how this seal..."
"Whose blood is being sacrificed! I am a direct descendant of the Yin Shang dynasty... My blood is surely
more suitable for the needs of the Nine Tripods than the blood of King Mu of Zhou, that barbarian from the west!" Xiao Suyan also staggered to my other side, panting
as he sat down on the ground.
"It's hard to say... You are indeed a descendant of King Qi of Shang! But after thousands of years, you
yourself can't say for sure how pure your bloodline is. I won't talk about your paternal lineage, but are you sure that all the women your family has married into the family throughout the generations
have been of pure Han Chinese blood, without a trace of mixed blood from other ethnic groups? Also, you are a commoner...
King Mu of Zhou was a legitimate Zhou emperor when he sacrificed his own blood to construct the seal! Your ancestors were certainly
of noble lineage, but your blood now lacks the natural majesty of his reign! In terms of the effectiveness of the sacrifice, it is definitely much less
!"
My mother said, helping Xia Jiang to the edge of the altar. Seeing Chunri, Lanjian, and the others
gathering towards the altar with the help of Chen Xiaowei, Liu Huiru, and Sun Cong, she handed Xia Jiang over to Yonghui
for care and began checking the seal's condition along the edge of the altar.
"Tch! I still have the Three Swords of Yin Tianzi… at worst, I'll sacrifice three swords to add another layer to the seal!" Hearing
his mother's analysis, Xiao Suyan seemed extremely unconvinced.
"Just seal her?… can't you completely destroy her?"
Yuan Fangfang and Guanxue, who had just arrived at the altar and dragged her over, put her down and asked.
His mother reached out and strummed the guitar strings on her chest, shaking her head.
"Theoretically, it's possible… but with the strength of the people here, it's simply impossible!"
"Can you explain?" Xiao Suyan's eyebrows rose.
"She, like me and Xia Jiang, should also be a 'Chosen One'! But she gives me a very strange feeling
… in my eyes, she's completely different from me and Xia Jiang!" She clearly
used the divine power of "Gale" to blow Yan Ping off the platform , and as far as I know, the possessor of this divine power should be the Golden
Mother! But she is clearly not the Golden Mother!
Many survivors who followed King Mu of Zhou into the Kunlun Secret Realm have witnessed what the Golden Mother looks like. She is definitely not the monster we see now. You must understand, I myself
am a Chosen One, and the level of a Chosen One is determined by the number of divine powers they possess. As long as one masters
one divine power, one naturally possesses the status of a Chosen One… A Chosen One possessing two divine powers
is naturally stronger than a Chosen One possessing only one. "
Based on the various written records left by you humans, combined with my own experience and Xia Ya's,
Chosen Ones possessing two divine attributes are already extremely rare among their kind!
Chosen Ones with three divine attributes do exist, but it seems only one or two have ever appeared. Those possessing more than three divine attributes
only exist in the religious myths created by you humans! That's the God of Christianity,
the Allah worshipped in Islam, and so on! Those have already transcended the concept of 'Chosen Ones,' they are simply omnipotent gods and
creators." "
And this monster is clearly not a true god... I sensed many different divine powers emanating from her!
A vast number, more than I could imagine. But none of them possessed omnipotent power! I didn't know
how she obtained those divine powers until Xia Jiang told me what she saw inside Spiral City.
I then understood that she acquired so much divine power by devouring other Chosen Ones. Of course, because
these divine powers weren't naturally comprehended or mastered by her, she couldn't truly unleash their
full potential."
"However... her divine domain has already materialized! You see, the creation of a divine domain originates from the Chosen One's
mastery and understanding of divine power, as well as the expansion of their will and thought... Initially, it's merely a thought-like
existence; then it possesses wave-like forms similar to light and sound, followed by an ion-
like state similar to flame; further evolution allows it to gradually form gas, liquid, solid, and so on.
Do you know what it means when a divine domain can solidify?"
"What does that mean? Please, stop being so cryptic!" Xiao Suyan frowned, growing impatient
.
"It means that the master of the divine realm can create all things in the world through self-awareness! To become a true
god, a creator! For example, if I want to create a river, I only need to imagine the shape of the river,
then expand the divine realm to form the shape of the river I imagined, and then liquefy the divine realm, and the river is formed
. I have completed the creation of a river! If I want to create a mountain range, I plan its shape, expand the divine realm
to form the shape of the mountain range, and then solidify it, and the mountain range appears."
"Does that mean that this is how the world we live in was born?" Hearing this, I finally turned
to look at my mother.
My mother and I exchanged a glance, and she said, "Perhaps... but these are just theoretical statements and
possibilities! Who can
truly know how our planet and this universe came into being? And the theories and possibilities I'm talking about are merely the ultimate goals that we, the chosen ones, yearn
to achieve for our survival. In reality, from ancient times to the present, no chosen one
has ever truly ascended to become a true god in theory! At least not on this planet. Everything on this planet,
including me, Xia Jiang, and even this thing sealed inside, should just be natural products of this planet itself
..."
My mother paused, then tentatively touched the barrier created by the Nine Cauldrons Seal. "And to kill
the Chosen One of Death, we must first seize or destroy her divine abilities! Do you think we have the ability to
seize or destroy all the countless divine abilities within her?"
"This..."
I noticed that Xiao Suyan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and then he said dejectedly, "Then it seems
that we really can only seal her..."
"How exactly should we reinforce and repair the seal?" Wang Lie seemed to have caught his breath at this moment. He
took the external wound medicine from Fan Zhou and applied it to his wounds while asking about the most important matter.
"Normally, only massive blood sacrifices can be used... that requires countless lives! But now, with
Xia Jiang and me... Xia Jiang and I will perform the blood sacrifice ritual with our blood, and each of us will contribute a divine
power to strengthen the seal! Although we can't permanently suppress this thing here, maintaining the seal
's stability for over three hundred years shouldn't be a problem."
The mother spoke casually, offering blood and divine power as if it were an
easy task.
"Is that so... Heh, you're really generous... You're just
giving away your divine power for us humans like that?" Wang Lie lowered his head, seemingly incredulous.
"Whether I'm generous or not is beyond my control... This thing is practically immortal. If she wants freedom,
Xia Jiang and I will definitely not escape her grasp. We're doing this for ourselves!"
The mother pursed her lips and smiled, a forced smile. After speaking, she stood before the sealing barrier
and looked at me. I saw a sorrowful look in her eyes…
But just as we stared at each other, the sealing barrier suddenly shook violently! Before we
could react, the Dominator appeared at the edge of the barrier, frantically ramming against the seal and
tearing a tiny crack in the barrier…
“…Everyone scatter!”
The Dominator’s tail emerged from the tiny crack and wrapped around
my mother’s waist, who was closest to the barrier and only focused on warning us!
The Nine Cauldrons Seal then emitted thunderous roars, and the tiny crack began to heal. However, in
the instant before the crack closed, my mother was completely engulfed by the Dominator’s serpentine tail and pulled into the seal…
I stared dumbfounded at this sudden turn of events, then leaped up and crashed into the sealing altar!
