Chapter 406 The True Name of Little Wild Grass
“Big brother, these three monsters are so tough!”
In the midst of the fog, Little Wild Grass felt drained and couldn’t help but shout.
Seizing the opportunity of the monsters’ strange changes, she and her big brother took the chance to launch a sudden, aggressive attack, trying to completely annihilate these three creatures.
Yet, these three transformed monsters were immensely difficult to deal with.
Their flesh seemed endless, capable of constant regeneration.
No matter how many arms were cut off or how many heads were torn off, those three creatures remained completely unscathed.
And with more and more arms and heads being severed, chunks of ghastly cold dead flesh floated in the mist.
This dead flesh drifted through the fog, making the eerie deathly aura in the mist increasingly intense.
Amidst it all, the three creatures seemed to be nourished by the deathly aura, becoming stronger and their attacks more difficult to defend against.
Meanwhile, Little Wild Grass and Li Muyang were assaulted by this deathly aura, their strength continuously weakening.
With this disadvantage building, the two quickly fell into a losing position.
Little Wild Grass had traveled the world in the past and was quite experienced.
But today was the first time she had encountered such bizarre sinister beings that grew stronger the more they were attacked!
Once again, the thought of retreating surfaced, and she wanted to flee with her big brother.
“Big brother, let’s still get out of here…”
Little Wild Grass was always concerned about her big brother’s safety, wanting only to escape together with him.
But Li Muyang stopped her, saying sternly, “We can’t retreat! If we do, we’ll definitely die!”
This was the lesson Li Muyang had learned from many failures.
Since entering the Second Phase, he had already failed seven times, and he had roughly guessed the trick to getting through it.
Facing these three monstrous fiends, they had to hold out until the end.
Forget about running away; even slowing down their attacks a bit would quickly give them an opportunity to strike lethally.
These three creatures were indeed anomalous; the more they were harmed, the stronger their offense became.
However, unlike Little Wild Grass who was terrified, Li Muyang could see the health bar.
He could clearly see that, as he continuously harmed these three creatures, their health bars visibly depleted rapidly.
Although their aura grew stronger and seemed utterly unharmed,
aura could be deceiving, but health bars couldn’t!
When the health bar is empty, it’s empty!
As long as he held out until their health bars were completely depleted, Li Muyang didn’t believe these three creatures could fight any longer. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
“Keep holding on!”
Li Muyang activated his skills, and numerous dark lice spewed out foul-smelling venom, splashing it towards the three creatures in the fog.
The venom of the lice had a potent corrosive effect; the three creatures screamed in agony as the flesh on their bodies rapidly dissolved, emitting a pungent stench.
After this round of attacks, the lice in the mist, completely exhausted, surged towards Li Muyang and swiftly retreated underneath his tattered translucent robe to rest.
All 13 of Li Muyang’s lice-related skills entered cooldown.
Seeing her big brother fight so fiercely, Little Wild Grass bit her teeth and sped up her attacks, determined to not retreat even at the risk of being wounded by the monsters.
Her appearance was a bit ragged now as she had multiple wounds of varying depths on her body.
But she continued to heed her big brother’s words and couldn’t possibly retreat.
The battle in the mist became increasingly intense, with plenty of flesh splattering around and the foul smell and thick deathly aura filling the air.
Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass forcefully endured the attacks of the three monstrous fiends and stubbornly held on, unable to retreat even a step.
At last, the three twisted creatures, screaming in agony, had their health bars completely depleted.
And the moment their health bars emptied, the storm-like attacks of the monstrous fiends finally halted.
Yet, in the fog, Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass did not relax at all; instead, their expressions grew even more solemn and tense.
Because after the health bars of these three creatures emptied, they began to change anew!
Within the bodies of the three monstrous figures, countless wailing souls of the wronged and evil spirits emerged.
The malevolent and powerful Ghost Fiend King revealed its true nature at that moment.
—These three monstrous figures were actually twisted conglomerates of numerous malevolent spirits and vengeful souls!
These were not naturally occurring beings but monsters forcibly created by someone with Great Divine Power using countless evil spirits and souls!
In Li Muyang’s mind, the CG imagery of The Peaceful Realms immediately surfaced.
Brutal and tyrannical spirits, whipping the endless souls of the wronged and evil spirits…
These Ghost Fiend Kings were actually killing machines created by the spirits of The Peaceful Realms.
Now, as the Ghost Fiend King collapsed, numerous wronged souls and evil spirits tried to break free and escape to the outside world.
However, the calm spacetime vortex at the center of the huge archway behind the Ghost Fiend King suddenly began spinning rapidly, emitting a brilliant green light.
A ghastly green light flew out from the spacetime vortex and simultaneously penetrated the three Ghost Fiend Kings.
The wailing souls within the bodies of the three Ghost Fiend Kings cried out in despair, quickly igniting and burning up, unable to escape.
Accompanied by the burning of the souls and evil spirits, the massive, towering spectral figure of a spirit descended within the fog.
A spirit from The Peaceful Realms, burning these souls and evil spirits to forcibly descend into the world of mist.
In Li Muyang’s view, a darkened red health bar appeared.
[Earth Spirit King]
That was the opponent’s title.
A chill ran through Li Muyang’s heart, while Little Wild Grass looked terrified.
“So you are the true culprit behind the calamity?”
She had not expected that her and her brother’s fierce battle would draw out such a terrifying entity.
The opponent was merely an incarnation, yet its presence had already surpassed her status as an Immortal.
Moreover, as the puppet master behind the Ghost Fiend Kings, it was clearly the true perpetrator of the calamity! It was the one ordering the Ghost Fiend Kings to kill!
The Earth Spirit King, enormous and imposing, his sacred robe fluttering in the mist, loomed within the fog.
In his left hand, he wielded a blood-stained tome, and in his right, he grasped a gigantic white jade skull.
He looked sinister and terrifying yet exuded a sacred aura, embodying both the holy and the macabre.
Gazing down indifferently at Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass in the mist, the Earth Spirit King looked at them as if they were slightly larger ants.
Without answering Little Wild Grass’s question, he muttered coldly to himself.
“Two dead beings, yet capable of deceiving the heavens and reversing their fates, one of them even becoming an immortal…”
“This might enable me to comprehend the heavenly secrets!”
“Jiang Xiaoyu, Jiang Zhiwei, follow me into The Peaceful Realms, and you may be spared from death.”
“The luxuries of the human world are fleeting as the sources of the earth deplete and the heavens decay, inevitably leading to extinction.”
“Follow me into The Peaceful Realms, and you may be transformed to avoid catastrophe!”
The Earth Spirit King spoke indifferently, calling out the true names of Li Muyang and Little Wild Grass.
Little Wild Grass remained silent, but Li Muyang laughed coldly.
“Follow you into The Peaceful Realms to avoid catastrophe?”
What nonsense!
I am from ten thousand years in the future, and ten thousand years later, humans can still cultivate.
But your Peaceful Realms are completely in ruins, nothing left!
Going there would only lead to a quicker and more tragic death!
Li Muyang directly called out to Little Wild Grass, launching an attack on the Earth Spirit King before them.
“Kill it! This ghostly thing is deceiving us!”
Li Muyang showed no mercy, directly using his skills to attack the terrifying ghost king within the mist.
