Chapter 437 - Burning Followers Of The Skull God?
Having learned of all this, Lin Wu wondered what the Skull god's next plan was. He did know of the end goal, which was nothing but to gain access to the Taiji Celestial's tomb, but Lin Wu was sure the man didn't know if its location.
In fact, there was literally no one in this world that even knew the tomb existed. Otherwise, there would have been many sects that would have occupied the Millennium forest.
"I bet the tomb of the Taiji Celestial has even more records than what the skull god knows. Maybe I'll know how the guardian beasts work as well…
" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He was just about to look for another memory, when the system sent out a notification.
~DING~
——
WARNING: Strong spirit Qi fluctuation detected!
SPIRIT QI SIGNATURE: Identified- Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle
——
As soon as Lin Wu saw it he knew that the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle might have finally awakened.
"System, store the memories for later and eject me from this place. Quick!
" Lin Wu ordered.
~shua~
With Lin Wu's order, the river of memories faded away, and he was able to see the real world again. He first saw the state of Shirong and saw that half of his body had been invaded by the Skull God.
'He's still hanging on…' Lin Wu realized.
It was now that he heard the followers of the Skull god shouting.
"WE HAVE DONE IT! THE BARRIERS ARE FINALLY GONE!
" One of the Nascent soul realm followers that was dispelling the barriers shouted.
The prophet of the Skull god looked in the direction and saw that all thirteen barriers were now gone and the main building of the ruins was now visible to them.
"Finally! After thousands of years! THE GREAT SKULL GOD SHALL HAVE HIS REVENGE!
" The prophet shouted.
His hoarse voice looked eerie when compared to the child like figure of the man.
"No bitch, you just courted death!
" Lin Wu stated.
~PIIIII~
And just in the next moment, an ear piercing cry of a bird was heard. The cry came from the main building and forced all the followers of the skull god to cover their ears. But this was not all as the Skull god's avatar that was trying to take over Shirong also halted in its progress.
"Huh… I guess it scared you, too. Now to get ready for the main part,
" Lin Wu said as he prepared for his escape.
He had already prepared a plan and was now executing it. He first used cellular manipulation and cellular crystallization to create a replica of the Immortal crystal armament. He then imprinted some information onto it and stored it into Shirong's spatial storage ring.
"Now to just wait for the right moment…
" Lin Wu said as he watched on for the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.
~PIIII~
~HUA~
Another cry came from the building and a jet of flames also shot out from the entrance of the building.
"AAAHHHHHH!
"
"NOO!!!!!
"
"SAVE US!!!
"
The cry of the followers of the skull god could be heard as they were burned to death by the vermilion flames. Those that were lucky were killed quickly, but those that were the edges of the attack zone were only burned in a few parts of their body.
"ARGH! THE PAIN!
"
"END THIS!!! NOO!!
"
But the Vermillion flames did not stop there and continued to burn their body, spreading from the place where they had been burned. This only resulted in them in feeling more pain as they despaired.
Those who were at the Nascent soul realm were in an even worse situation as they had to feel this severe pain not once but twice. The first time they felt it with their bodies and the second time with their Nascent soul which was burned by the Vermillion flames as well.
~squeeeee~
A strange squealing sound came out of the bodies of all the followers that were being burnt, and a mass of black smoke could be seen coming out of them. Lin Wu quickly checked it with his spirit sense and realized this was the miasma of the skull god, which was nothing but a secondary substance born from the use of shadow element.
It was slightly different from normal spirit Qi and had corroding qualities. It would even corrode the cultivators that used it, as could be seen from the memories of the skull god and was bad overall.
"Perhaps only the skull god who has inherited the 'Hei' side of the Taiji Celestial might be able to use this without any damage to himself.
" Lin Wu muttered.
~shua~
The flames spread from the jet and killed more of the followers of the skull god.
~PIIIII~
Another cry came from the main building as the sound of loud steps was heard.
~thud~thud~thud~
Each step was like a rock pressing upon the heart of a person. As they got closer, the more the followers of the skull god got nervous, if the death of their companions was not enough for them already.
~PIIIII~
Two large wings came out from the entrance of the main building as they flapped with a colossal push.
~whoosh~
The winds created from this pushed away the broken ruins and debris that was nearby and the pillars that supported the main building's entrant were directly broken.
~CRUMBLE~
~BOOM~
~THUD~
The frontal part of the main building directly collapsed due to this, but not before the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle finally appeared on the platform, her body on full display.
"Whoa!
" Lin Wu was awed at the current appearance of the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.
"No wait… is that name even valid now. There's no way she can still be considered to be a Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle.
" Lin Wu added after seeing the large bird beast.
~PIIIII~
Her cry was like a clarion, signaling the death for the follower of the skull god. But in addition to her cry another cry was heard.
"HOW CAN THIS BE!!!
"
