Chapter 2117: Chapter 2062–2063: Rest Soil Divine Sand, Zhuque Will_2
A flick of the finger, a wave of the hand, countless grains of Rest Soil fell into the void, creating a scene of yellow sand dancing in the air!
Seeing this, Governor Xu’s eyes shone with a cold light, and the divine spear in his hand buzzed, directly piercing through the void towards his opponent!
Wu Thirty-Seven’s expression remained indifferent, as if the spear light flashing with a chilling glow didn’t exist at all. His palms struck out, and earth-yellow runes wrapped around them!
The spear and palms intertwined in a complex manner, emitting an extremely intense sound of clashes in the void!
“Rest Soil Divine Sand, omnipresent, gathers and scatters at will!” Wu Thirty-Seven spoke solemnly.
All around him, streams of Primordial Qi frantically poured into the Rest Soil Divine Sand. The earth-yellow grains of Rest Soil from the Nine Heavens instantly doubled, then quadrupled, endlessly surging between heaven and earth, enveloping his entire opponent.
The Nine Heavens Rest Soil, a treasure of the earth element, exhibited astonishing effects in Wu Thirty-Seven’s hands!
In the legends of the human race, an Innate God once molded humans from earth using the Nine Heavens Rest Soil, showcasing its miraculous nature!
He had obtained a piece of Rest Soil at great cost from the Houtu Ancestor Witch and used it as a core to refine the divine sand. Although it could not compare to a genuine magical treasure made entirely from the Nine Heavens Rest Soil, it was still an exceptionally powerful magical treasure.
As the grains of Rest Soil yellow sand fell like dust onto Governor Xu, they pressed on him like mountains, significantly slowing his attacks. What shocked Governor Xu even more was that the Rest Soil Divine Sand was continuously absorbing his Primordial Qi!
“Caw!” A phoenix cry echoed throughout the Nine Heavens universe!
Around Governor Xu, streaks of azure light flashed. His eyes turned azure-red, and his black hair transformed into hues of azure and red, dancing wildly. He resembled a deity from ancient times.
Aura of destruction and frenzy emanated from his body!
The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird is not only a symbol of good fortune; its terrifying Vermilion Bird Divine Fire can also bring destruction, incinerating all things.
He crazily shook his body, flames rising around him, causing the Rest Soil Divine Sand attached to his body to wither and fall to the ground like ordinary yellow sand!
“The Rest Soil Divine Sand is indeed extraordinary! But unfortunately, my Vermilion Bird Divine Fire is superior!” Governor Xu’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent. If his opponent only had these means, then today, he must kill him.
“Ha ha! Arrogant and ignorant, truly pitiful!” Wu Thirty-Seven watched his opponent’s actions, knowing well that though seemingly stronger, he was actually being influenced by the Vermilion Bird Bloodline and had lost control over his own will.
Everything has its pros and cons. Relying on a powerful being to strengthen oneself naturally means being influenced by them since it’s taking a convenient path, easily leading to errors.
The Four Holy Beasts, beings on par with a Taoist Monarch, a trace of their bloodline can greatly enhance living beings, transforming their innate gifts. However, in turn, living beings influenced by these bloodlines are subject to their influence.
To truly maintain one’s self, it’s necessary to always keep one’s will in charge, unaffected by the will of the Holy Beasts. Even unintentionally, the influence of the Holy Beast Bloodline is a significant threat even to a True Immortal.
Thus, strong individuals like Wu Thirty-Seven, despite knowing that some powerful bloodlines could quickly enhance their combat power and change their talents, would avoid them when possible because the impacts may require a much greater cost in the future to fix.
The Witch Deity Teaching has ancient heritage, witnessing many human race strongmen in the Ancient Era who, in the pursuit of power, refined powerful Demon Race bloodlines as their own. However, apart from a few who could conquer the influence of the bloodline’s will, most could not.
In more favorable outcomes, they stagnated and couldn’t advance further. In worse cases, their cultivation was entirely ruined, leading to the destruction of their bodies and souls.
Such was the case with Governor Xu at this moment. His newfound strength was not achieved through breaking through in battle but because he gradually lost control over his body, allowing the Vermilion Bird’s will to take over.
Even if there were another Vermilion Bird divine power, could any creature manage it better than the Vermilion Bird itself?
Hence, Wu Thirty-Seven felt no fear at this moment, instead showing a trace of pity in his eyes.
However, Wu Thirty-Seven dared not to slack off and took his opponent more seriously than before, for now, his opponent was not just anyone but a Supreme Overlord controlled by the Vermilion Bird’s will.
The Vermilion Bird Holy Beast is on par with a Taoist Monarch. Even if the control over his opponent is just a minuscule fraction of the Vermilion Bird’s instinct, on the Supreme Strong level below a True Immortal, it remains the pinnacle of existence.
Wu Thirty-Seven let out a long howl toward the sky, and a Dharma Appearance of an Ancestral Witch appeared behind him, the Ancestral Witch of Earth who controls the Five Elements—Houtu.
With a human body and snake tail, seven hands behind and two hands in front, holding two Flying Snakes, he descended between heaven and earth like an invincible Demon God. Even if it was just a Dharma Appearance, its power could make everyone take notice.
With the power bestowed by the Ancestral Witch Dharma Appearance, Wu Thirty-Seven’s defense increased at least tenfold. Moreover, since the Houtu Ancestor Witch is the Ancestral Witch of Earth, and the earth is primarily about defense, standing on the ground and borrowing its power, his strength is virtually endless and can never be defeated.
The seven long hands behind the Houtu Dharma Appearance continuously crafted countless Dharma Seals, resisting the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire transformed into a divine spear. At the same time, two Flying Snakes flew out of Wu Thirty-Seven’s sleeve, each possessing the Demon Spirit power of the Supreme Strong realm.
Flying Snake, an Innate Divine Beast, not inferior to Phoenixes and True Dragons. Naturally, the pair of Flying Snakes controlled by Wu Thirty-Seven weren’t genuine Flying Snake Divine Beasts.
Regardless of whether such Divine Beasts still existed, even if they did, controlling them with such power would be impossible. The pair of Flying Snakes he controlled were offspring cultivated by the Witch Deity Teaching, possessing a trace of the Flying Snake bloodline.
Yet even so, these Supreme Strong level creatures who carry the Flying Snake bloodline are terrifying beasts in the world.
Grains of earth-yellow Rest Soil continuously emerged, occasionally enveloping Governor Xu. Although each time it was instantly incinerated by the flames, it caused a momentary pause, which Wu Thirty-Seven exploited to attack his opponent repeatedly.
The Vermilion Bird Divine Bird’s wings fluttered, originally meant to move nimbly against its enemies, but the constant harassment from the Rest Soil Divine Sand made it feel like it was mired in a swamp. If not for the frightening power of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, it would have long been defeated and suppressed.
However, Governor Xu was also misled by the deceitful appearance of the ubiquitous Rest Soil Divine Sand. Suddenly, while evading an attack, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder—one of the Flying Snakes had flown out and bit him hard.
“As a Holy Beast, the Vermilion Bird is extraordinary. Yet this trace of will can’t fully unleash its true power. The venom in my pair of Flying Snakes is potent, and with a bite from them, your defeat is merely a matter of time,” Wu Thirty-Seven confidently declared.
But Governor Xu, controlled by the Vermilion Bird’s will, was indifferent, continuing to wield the divine spear ceaselessly, attacking Wu Thirty-Seven.
Governor Xu coldly laughed, “Such trifling wounds are nothing in my eyes. Besides, my Vermilion Bird Divine Body is impervious to all poisons. Poison? It’s a trivial matter; it has little effect on me.”
He retained some clarity, knowing that mere poison wouldn’t harm him. Fire naturally counteracts poison. After achieving great success in the Vermilion Bird Divine Body, he was immune to all poisons, unafraid of the Flying Snake’s poison.
This was his ace, after all. The strong of the Witch Deity Teaching gained their fame from numerous bizarre divine abilities, while the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire remarkably countered those divine powers.
