Chapter 667 - 667: A Beauty Is Like a Famous General from Ancient Times
The sigh of a woman that echoed through the sky brought the imminent bloody battle in the Manghuang Mountain to an abrupt halt.
The giant beast, its body brimming with blood and its eyes turning blood-red, clearly ready to fight to the death, paused upon hearing this sound.
Afterward, the terrifying beast’s form rapidly shrank.
It transformed back into the Kunwu God, a few dozen feet tall, with the fierce body of a tiger but the delicate face of a young girl.
The Kunwu God obediently nodded, offering a salute to the firmament: “I shall heed the divine command.”
Next, the Kunwu God sniffled, looking fearfully at Wu Ming, who was not far away with a thousand-feet-tall divine body, and stammered.
“Alright, I’ll give it to you.”
The Kunwu God dissolved the domain of the Divine Country and returned with Li Muyang to the inside of the Futu Tower.
On her face, there was not the slightest hint of joy, but rather it was filled with sadness.
Anxiously looking at Wu Ming before her, the Kunwu God sighed and said, “I told you to stop, and now you’ve done it, you’ve woken the Venerable One…”
The Kunwu God silently took out a wooden box and handed it to Li Muyang.
At this moment, she appeared fragile and docile, yet her eyes were brimming with sorrow.
Seeming to grieve over the assembly of Wu Ming’s limbs,
And perhaps over Wu Ming’s impending confrontation with one of the Four Pillars, Qingzhong Huo’er.
Li Muyang glanced at her but said nothing, simply accepting the box handed over by the Kunwu God.
Once the box was in his possession, a brilliant divine light immediately radiated from within.
The divine light soared upwards and eventually landed upon Li Muyang’s body.
Visibly, Wu Ming’s left arm, previously missing flesh, now swiftly regrew vibrant flesh and fair skin.
At this moment, Wu Ming, who had once been a skeleton, was now fully flesh but for his skull, his body below the head indistinguishable from that of a living person.
And in the interface of fate, the skill points increased by +6.
However, after a moment of thought, Li Muyang did not rush to use the skill points but instead moved past the Kunwu God, ascending towards the upper floors.
The topmost layer of the Futu Tower was desolate.
Upon arriving there, Li Muyang saw nothing.
Only on the wall, he spotted a mural.
The mural depicted endless darkness shrouding the land, with only a beast-faced bronze lamp quietly flickering amidst the dark.
In this embrace of darkness, the light of the bronze lamp was feebly uncertain, as if it could extinguish at any moment.
Li Muyang stood inside the Futu Tower, frowning at the mural before him.
The voice of the Extreme West God rang out by his ear once more.
“…At last, we meet, Ascendant.”
“Unexpectedly, you have mastered the Jade Immortal’s Startling Swan Sword Technique…”
The first words spoken by the Extreme West God even uncovered Li Muyang’s origins.
He is, so far, the only one who has discerned the identity of the one controlling Wu Ming from behind.
Upon hearing the title ‘Ascendant,’ Li Muyang turned his head slightly but said nothing.
Neither admitting nor denying,
He merely asked, “Is Wu Ming’s head in your possession?”
Once Wu Ming’s head is acquired, Wu Ming will be completely resurrected, achieving the initial goal.
However, after Li Muyang finished speaking, the voice of the woman in the void began with “The head of Wu Ming…” then stopped abruptly and no longer responded.
Not only did the woman’s voice vanish, but at the same moment the divine energy on the ninth floor of the Futu Tower wavered, nearly nonexistent, and the light from the sole beast-faced bronze lamp on the dark mural dimmed to the brink of extinguishment, leaving only a faint glimmer like grains of rice.
Witnessing such a sight, Li Muyang’s brows furrowed as he immediately sensed an air of danger.
As the light of the beast-faced bronze lamp gradually faded, the beast face on the bronze lamp seemed to come half-alive, becoming incomparably ferocious and fearsome.
The breath of the divine dissipated, replaced by a violent and aggressive hostility and an uncontrollable beastial fury spreading through the air.
Then, an extremely ferocious and violent Beast Roar echoed throughout the entirety of Futu Tower.
The beast face on the bronze lamp depicted in the fresco dimmed to the extreme, as the beast face of Lamp Base Mountain came to life.
The savage and gruesome beast face suddenly lifted its head, staring intently at Li Muyang.
An endless darkness instantly engulfed Li Muyang.
The brutal Beast Roar actually caused his ears to ache.
He left the Futu Tower, entering a vast expanse of dark and broad land.
Ahead was a terrifying beast, extremely vicious.
The surface of the beast was covered with dim green flames, so faint they were almost imperceptible.
The beast, freed from the suppression of the green flames, roared excitedly and ferociously, charging towards Li Muyang in madness.
That terrifying scene exerted a heavy pressure on Li Muyang.
“…Is this the beastial nature of the Extreme West God?”
Li Muyang muttered to himself, the glint of his sword flowing as he resisted.
The Extreme West God wasn’t a fierce god; on the contrary, he was known for his kindness and amiable nature, which was starkly different from the Eastern God, Thousand-Eyed Blood God.
However, legend had it that beneath the kind and compassionate face of the Extreme West God, lay the most pure and primitive beastial nature of all divines.
Those who had seen the beastial nature of the Extreme West God all perished in the giant maw of the beast.
But unexpectedly, Li Muyang now had to confront the beastial nature of the Extreme West God directly…
Sword light flowed from Li Muyang’s hand, as the Startling Swan Immortal Sword demonstrated its powerful capabilities.
For a moment, the violent beast couldn’t get close to him.
This scene made Li Muyang’s brow furrow slightly.
“Is the Extreme West God this weak?”
Not only could the divine nature not suppress the beastial nature, but even the beastial incarnation was extremely frail.
This is not the combat power that one of the four pillar gods should possess!
It seems although the Extreme West God didn’t die a miserable death like the Thousand-Eyed Blood God, his condition is not much different from being dead.
To Li Muyang, it felt as if the Extreme West God was just holding on to his last breath…
[You have died, game over]
[Resurrect in 19:59]
When the game interface CG popped up, Li Muyang unexpectedly did not feel defeated.
Instead, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
He had always heard about the terror of the four pillar gods, and had personally witnessed the horror of the Thousand-Eyed Blood God. Even in death, with the spirit gone, the remaining divinity on the corpse still drove the Ancestor of Demon Refinement, who had survived a thousand years, to the brink of insanity.
Guessing that the final boss on the top floor of Futu Tower was the Extreme West God Qingzhong Huo’er, Li Muyang had been thinking about how to defeat Qingzhong Huo’er, filled with apprehension.
But upon truly facing the Extreme West God, he found that this Extreme West God was already in a dying state, his battle strength nowhere near his former glory.
Although the beastial incarnation defeated Li Muyang, he did not find this beastial incarnation to be particularly troublesome.
Given time, Li Muyang was certain he could defeat the Extreme West God…
“Beauties and great generals alike, since ancient times, none are allowed to grow old in the Mortal World.”
Li Muyang felt somewhat sentimental.
Even a being as powerful as the Extreme West God could not resist the overwhelming forces, barely surviving the dark calamity yet still paying a heavy price.
That catastrophe ten thousand years ago truly changed the world completely, altering this world beyond recognition.
