Chapter 354: Change

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although he had not encountered any danger for the time being, Lu Ming had a sense of foreboding that he was in big trouble.

The dense black mist emitted an ominous smell, as if it had taken Lu Ming back to the past.

In the past, when the tall tower had just appeared in Nanxiang City and the era of the apocalypse had just begun.

“It’s a pity about my experiment.”

Lu Ming sighed and muttered,

“But it wasn’t a big problem.”

The experiment of reshaping the divinity had only reached less than 1% progress, and Lu Ming already had a premonition that he could fail at any time—the level of his array formation skill was still not high enough.

It would not be a big deal if it were interrupted.

Under the current situation, Lu Ming was indeed inadequate to the task of continuing with the experiment.

Looking into the distance, through the array formations inside the Boshi Tower, Lu Ming gazed at the outside world.

All was pitch black…

The dense black mist blocked all senses, completely blocking Lu Ming’s vision and perception.

He could not see anything.

The unknown brought unease and fear.

It also made Lu Ming’s uneasy premonition even stronger.

Suddenly, traces of golden light dissipated from the Boshi Tower, seemingly actively merging into the black mist.

This made Lu Ming slowly furrow his brows.

“The Divine Source is leaking, and at a quite rapid rate.”

Then, he rubbed his chin in thought.

“The characteristics of this black mist seem quite similar to the system’s…”

Of course, describing it as similar to the system was just Lu Ming’s feeling, and after muttering, he did not connect the two.

He raised his hand and a burst of source power erupted.

Controlling the array formations with the Source Power, Lu Ming immediately retracted all the Divine Source from inside the Boshi Tower.

He was not worried that problems would occur.

The Divine Spirit Realm experts outside the tower were probably like Shu Fang and the others, drained of divine source by the Black Mist, and their divinity fell into a dormant state.

Even if someone could maintain their mobility in the dormant state, they probably would not have the mood to find trouble with Boshi Tower.

The only danger inside the tower was from Moon Fiend.

After Lu Ming removed the Divine Source, the strength of the array formation that trapped Moon Fiend and Lin Feng would also decrease greatly.

If Moon Fiend regained consciousness and recovered her strength, she would discover that she could forcefully dismantle the array formation set up by Lu Ming.

However, firstly, Lu Ming would not give Moon Fiend the opportunity to regain consciousness.

Secondly, even if she woke up, there were four Divine Spirit Realm experts waiting for her…

In short, the trouble Lu Ming faced at this moment could only come from the strange black mist.

But in the next second,

Lu Ming’s expression changed again.

“There was an outflow of source power!?”

“This is troublesome.”

Within the black mist zone, almost all supernatural powers relied on source power.

At this moment, after Lu Ming removed the Divine Source, he immediately discovered that this black mist actually had the ability to absorb source power!

The consequences of this were far more serious than the black mist drawing away the Divine Source.

In the outside world, as the black mist spread over, all the places covered by the black mist completely turned into source power deserts.

And without source power in the outside world, Boshi Tower could not obtain source power replenishment.

The array formation patterns of the Boshi Tower also relied on source power to provide energy.

At this moment, under the pervasion of the black mist in the outside world, a large amount of source power was sucked away by the black mist. The array patterns flickered and gradually lost their radiance.

The array formation was gradually losing its effect.

Sensing all this, Lu Ming slowly narrowed his eyes.

“If that’s the case, then I can only deal with it like this.”

With a thought, a large amount of Source Power and Divine Source flowed out of Lu Ming’s body.

He actually ignored the characteristic of the black mist absorbing all the energy, forcefully resisted the attraction and crazily modified the array formation in the Boshi Tower!

Qinghe Province.

On the battlefield.

In a certain space, Jiu Han floated in the air, his beard and hair spread out. He was alone facing three enemies at the Divine Spirit Realm, and was not at a disadvantage at all.

This battle had been going on from a few days ago until now, causing Jiu Han to be completely unaware of what had happened in Xuanshui City.

Until a certain moment, Jiu Han’s heart trembled.

He vaguely sensed that the connection between him and Boshi Tower was rapidly weakening…

Someone had forcibly taken ownership of Boshi Tower.

—Not control, but ownership!

“Who is it?” Jiu Han muttered in his heart. At the side, a strange floating cloud-like object said softly, “It’s Lu Ming. I can feel that it was Lu Ming who took away the ownership of Boshi Tower.”

This was the tower spirit of Boshi Tower.

Upon hearing this, Jiu Han’s brows slowly relaxed, but a sense of worry arose spontaneously.

“Lu Ming took away the ownership of Boshi Tower… This means that there’s a problem in Xuanshui City.”

“Although I don’t know what’s the problem, I’m afraid I have to hurry back to take a look.”

“I just hope that my disciple is safe…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Han’s aura suddenly soared, suppressing the three enemy gods to retreat continuously.

“I’m sorry, Teacher. 1 had no choice but to come up with this plan.”

After taking away the ownership of Boshi Tower, Lu Ming immediately felt an even higher level of control over Boshi Tower.

With a thought, Lu Ming took the initiative to leave Boshi Tower.

Standing outside the Boshi Tower, his surroundings were pitch-black. If it were not for Lu Ming’s hand resting on the outer wall of the Boshi Tower, he would not even be able to see the huge Boshi Tower clearly…

“Small, small, small!!”

Source power surged crazily. Accompanied by Lu Ming’s voice, Boshi Tower quickly contracted.

The tall tower that towered over the sky shrank to the size of a palm in a short period of time.

Bending down to pick up the Boshi Tower from the ground, Lu Ming tucked it into his pocket.

“This is much more convenient.”

Boshi Tower originally had the ability to shrink or expand, but it could only shrink to ten meters at most. It was Lu Ming who modified the array to make Boshi Tower shrink to its current size.

And without the ownership of the Boshi Tower, he could not activate this shrinkage array. Therefore, Lu Ming needed to take away the ownership of the Boshi Tower.

After completing all of this, Lu Ming stood at the original site of Boshi Tower and looked around.

However, he still could not see anything.

He also sensed that the wandering Divine Source in his body was continuously dissipating, and the source power was also uncontrollably pouring out of his body. Even the three silver patterns on his body were faintly distorted, as if they were about to collapse.

“However, the divine source in the system cannot be drawn away by this black mist.”

“And although the source power is drawn away, the power of the blood qi is not affected at all… The black mist cannot shake the blood patterns either.”

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ming summarized these two pieces of information.

A trace of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind.

“What if I do this?”

With a thought, the source power crazily retracted into the depths of his body. At the same time, the power of blood qi replaced the source power, circulating in Lu Ming’s body—this was the Force System.

As Lu Ming changed systems, he immediately felt his vision blur.

The black mist could no longer block Lu Ming’s senses.

Everything around him immediately became clear and unobstructed!

Therefore, Lu Ming saw a slippery tongue, slowly but clearly arching towards him like an earthworm..
