449: Advanced nature, evil god strikes

Chapter 449: Advanced Properties, Evil God Attack

Although only 14 points of Ferocity had transformed, the terrifying Ferocity emanating from the Nether Centipede was already comparable to the Divine Might of a True God at the Divine property level.

"Ferocity?" Zhou Qi was secretly surprised. "So, above Spirituality, there are even higher-level attributes?"

Currently, most people are still unaware of the existence of "Spiritual Transformation."

Wu Xian pondered in his heart.

He had previously thought that Spirituality could only transform into Divinity, but now it seemed there were clearly other Advanced properties.

And [Spirituality] itself was more like a primitive, Chaos property.

Or rather, it was a "developing" power property.

Only by nurturing and transforming the scroll's Spirituality into a higher-level property could the scroll carrier complete its final transformation, thereby integrating with the Godhood condensed in the Divine Domain in the future, becoming one, and forging a True God.

Of course, judging from the situation of the Nether Fiends, they did not seem to be "Gods" in the conventional sense.

After constructing a Divine Domain in the future, what they condense may not be [Godhood], but another special Law status.

No!

Wu Xian suddenly thought of something.

Nether Fiends are not restricted by Karma and incense. They can evolve infinitely by merely devouring, perhaps not needing to construct a Divine Domain, condense Law power, or increase Law weight at all.

Within this special property of [Ferocity], it is very likely that some primitive Law power is already inherent.

Most importantly, this ancient and primitive Law power has no competitors, so there is naturally no need to contend for any Law weight.

To put it bluntly, in this Domain, there are only Zhou Qi and the Nether Fiend series.

They would be first even if they handed in a blank paper.

"Want to try it out?" Zhou Qi was full of enthusiasm.

Wu Xian instantly understood and immediately summoned the jade scroll sun star lord.

The ferocious Nether Centipede, upon seeing the Lord of the Sun Star, immediately showed a timid and hesitant state, completely losing the demeanor a "Fierce Beast" should have.

"Well~ after all that, it's still completely suppressed by the Lord of the Sun Star," Zhou Qi shook his head and complained. "Perhaps this is the fate of insect-type monsters?"

But Wu Xian didn't think so.

Then, he took out a gold scroll Lord of the Sun Star copy from his cosmos sack.

As he expected, this time the Nether Centipede was no longer afraid of the Lord of the Sun Star, completely displaying the fearless and fierce demeanor of a Fierce Beast. It seemed that with just a thought from Zhou Qi, it would pounce and devour the gold scroll Lord of the Sun Star.

Whether it could win or not was another matter; it would rush up and take a bite first.

"Is it because of the jade scroll?" Zhou Qi said in surprise. "It seems I need to quickly upgrade the Nether Centipede to a jade scroll."

Wu Xian smiled without speaking.

Because he knew clearly that even if the Nether Centipede was upgraded to a jade scroll, it would still be suppressed by the jade scroll sun star lord.

Unless its Ferocity value exceeded the Lord of the Sun Star's Divinity value.

One must know, this was still under the condition of being naturally countered by the Lord of the Sun Star. If it were facing other scrolls, the Nether Centipede would not have so many reservations.

Sure enough, the Will of the God of Wealth also wanted to try.

He directly appeared beside Wu Xian, using the God of Wealth scroll.

As he expected, although the Nether Centipede was somewhat wary and apprehensive, its Ferocity was exposed, showing a state of eagerness to try and readiness to attack.

One must know, the God of Wealth possesses 81 points of Divinity, plus the blessing of a True God's Will.

From this, one could also see how outrageous the ancient Bloodline power of a "Fierce Beast" truly was.

"It really has something," the God of Wealth secretly communicated with Wu Xian, "I feel that if its Ferocity continues to increase, it would even dare to devour the Heavenly Dao!"

Wu Xian nodded in agreement.

Currently, it seems that this Nether Centipede, apart from not having an advantage in front of the Lord of the Sun Star, faces any enemy with a fearless and fierce state.

The key is that its ancient "Fierce Beast" power and the Aura it exhibits are the same; it can clash with any power.

It is completely unaffected by any Law-level suppression or restriction.

"It's strange, why can that Angri Rooster suppress this Fierce Beast?" The God of Wealth secretly wondered, "Logically, this Ferocity power should also be able to ignore suppression at the species level, shouldn't it?

Could it be that that big rooster is hiding some unspeakable secret? Or some special background?"

The God of Wealth fell into deep thought.

There's a saying, no one can truly understand another person.

In life, everyone wears layers of masks, and their true self is only known to themselves.

The immortals in the Heavenly Court are the same. Although they are colleagues, their understanding of each other is mostly superficial.

Every colleague, more or less, holds some secrets of their own.

"You mean, the Lord of the Sun Star might have had contact with the world of that ancient Fierce Beast? Or has some connection?" Wu Xian couldn't help but be curious.

"Very likely," the God of Wealth nodded playfully: "The Heavenly Court truly has talented individuals everywhere!"

To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Court is full of hidden talents; never underestimate anyone.

"Keep going, keep going," Zhou Qi was excited, "I can't wait to max out the Ferocity of the Nether Fiend right now!"

"There's no need to be so anxious," Wu Xian chuckled, "Bloodline power, the further you go, the harder it is to improve. There's no such thing as a sudden leap to the top."

"Alright," Zhou Qi sighed lightly, "Fortunately, we're still young."

"By the way, Brother Zhou, does your Nether Fiend series not require a [divine power core] to be upgraded to a jade scroll?" Wu Xian changed the subject.

"Yes," Zhou Qi pondered, "it's just that this transformation process will be relatively long and difficult, and it requires a certain opportunity. However, after the Nether Centipede transformed its Ferocity this time, its subsequent evolution to a jade scroll should be faster."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but ponder whether to incorporate the "Fierce Beast" Bloodline into the conception and drawing of some subsequent ancient Vicious Beasts.

After all, the characteristic of Nether Fiends evolving and improving through devouring still had a significant advantage.

Just the fact that it didn't require a [divine power core] was well worth it.

At least until Third Master Xue developed an artificial divine power core, the advantage of the Nether Fiend would still be significant.

Time flew by, and it was already early morning the next day.

The two spent the night researching and discussing, further promoting the perfection of the Nether Fiend's Bloodline power.

Ding-a-ling!

The phone rang, interrupting their discussion.

"Who is it, this early in the morning?" Wu Xian grumbled as he pulled out his phone. The name on the caller ID made him freeze for a moment, "Ma Tengyun?"

"Young Master Ma?" Zhou Qi couldn't help but cast a curious glance.

Recently, Ma Tengyun had been investing in construction in Yaoyang City, working himself to death every day, and still had to make time to work in the Underworld.

Now that he was calling so early in the morning, could he have encountered some problems at the Underworld Outpost?

But if something had happened at the Underworld Outpost, Xue Zhengying should have been the one to inform him.

"Hello, Brother Ma, is something wrong?" Wu Xian answered the phone and asked.

"Something strange happened at a construction site last night, and many workers died," Ma Tengyun's voice was serious and grave. "Currently, it's very likely related to an Evil God."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian also instantly became serious.

After pulling strings for so long, had the Evil God Scroll Masters finally lost their patience?

He immediately asked Ma Tengyun for the address and rushed over with Zhou Qi, notifying the Mayor, the military, and the association along the way.

After all, dealing with Evil God Scroll Masters had always been the responsibility of these three parties... A moment later, at a large construction site in the core area of Yaoyang City's South District.

Wu Xian and Zhou Qi hurried over and met with Ma Tengyun.

"What's the specific situation?" Wu Xian went straight to the point, asking for details.

"Follow me, both of you," Ma Tengyun led them towards the crime scene. "Late last night, several workers who were excavating suddenly went silent. Other workers who went to check on them also went silent one after another.

The workers who sensed something was wrong quickly reported it to their superiors, and then, in the early morning, it reached me.

I initially thought it was a normal construction accident, but upon arriving at the scene, I realized the situation was not quite right.

Fortunately, Brother Wu's constellation scroll is powerful enough, otherwise, I, Ma, would have been in trouble."

Wu Xian took a deep breath, looking at the crime scene temporarily sealed by a scroll barrier ahead, and pressed, "What's the situation inside now?"

"It's hard to describe, you'd better see for yourselves," Ma Tengyun seemed to have some lingering fear. "Just be careful with protection; there's a very evil and strange power inside."

Wu Xian and Zhou Qi nodded solemnly.

Zhou Qi asked in confusion, "Strange, why are they working overtime in the middle of the night?"

"Is it strange?" Ma Tengyun chuckled, "My Wanrong Chamber of Commerce has always pursued efficiency. As long as the pay is good, the workers are all highly motivated.

This shopping mall was originally supposed to be completed next month, but now it seems that's out of the question."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian and Zhou Qi were speechless.

Ma Tengyun, however, seemed a bit sad. "Compensation for the families is easy to deal with, but the workers died in such a gruesome way that it's given me a bit of psychological trauma."

"Is it that bad?" Zhou Qi's expression was peculiar.

After all, they had seen their fair share of major events.

The "insect plague" scene from the Insect World before was terrifying and disgusting to the extreme, a true killer for those with trypophobia.

In addition, they had also experienced some of the Evil God disturbances that Yaoyang City had gone through, each one more disgusting and eerie than the last.

The staff responsible for the scroll barrier also looked pale. After opening the barrier for the three, they quickly hid in the distance, seemingly very afraid of the scene inside.

Upon entering the barrier, Ma Tengyun frowned, wincing and covering his eyes, unable to look directly.

And Wu Xian and Zhou Qi froze on the spot.

Although they had seen many shocking things, they were still so stunned by the bizarre and eerie scene before them that their minds went blank, and they felt inexplicably uncomfortable all over.

Vaguely, an invisible force seemed to be invading them.

Wu Xian decisively released Wealth Qi to protect the three, his gaze fixed on the strange and eerie scene before him.

Dozens of construction workers were melted and stuck together like conjoined twins, entangled and writhing with each other, forming a shocking spectacle that directly hit one's Soul.

The deep pit originally dug for the foundation was completely filled with "sticky" corpses.

Even more absurdly, the surrounding soil and gravel also seemed to have been infected into tissue-like flesh, adhering to the corpse landscape.

"This, this, this..." Zhou Qi's face turned pale, and he was incoherent.

Ma Tengyun, covering his eyes, said, "Didn't I tell you it was bizarre and terrifying?"

Wu Xian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and began to investigate the source of this tragic case.

It was definitely an Evil God Scroll Master, no doubt.

Only the power of an Evil God could create such a hair-raising "non-human" scene.

He just couldn't understand why the Evil God would attack this construction site.

Could it be that a Evil God Servant had infiltrated among the construction workers?

While thinking, he released Xiao Dizi to conduct an in-depth investigation and listen.

"God of Wealth, what do you think?" His consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness to communicate with the Will of the God of Wealth.

"This deity cannot fully comprehend some aspects of this world yet, especially these evil forces that seem like Otherworld demons but not quite," the God of Wealth said in a deep voice, "But no matter what, such evil that harms the Heavenly Dao must certainly be struck down to ashes."

The God of Wealth was clearly enraged by the scene before him.

As a True God of the Heavenly Court, he naturally could not tolerate such evil that harmed the Heavenly Dao.

Beside him, Xiao Dizi was still diligently investigating the situation.

At the same time, personnel from the association and the military had also arrived at the scene one after another. After seeing the horrific state of the scene, they were all terrified.

"Have either of your sides encountered similar Evil God power before?" Wu Xian inquired.

"No," Xu Lu shook her head gravely. "In fact, the Evil God Scroll Masters have been much quieter recently."

The head of the demon-slaying department from the military also stated that they had not seen similar Evil God power.

"Is the Mayor not here yet?" Xu Lu looked around in confusion. "I'm worried that the Evil God's actions aren't just this simple. It's best to warn the public to be careful."

Since the Evil God had decided to invade Yaoyang City, it was impossible for it to be just such a small disturbance.

And the work of mobilizing the citizens of Yaoyang City naturally required the cooperation of Mayor Chen Shilong.

However, after waiting for a long time, Chen Shilong did not arrive, nor did he send anyone over.

"Could the Mayor not be in the city?" Zhou Qi guessed.

Wu Xian pondered as he took out his phone to check, only to find that the message he had just sent to Chen Shilong had not yet been replied to.

"Is he busy at hand?" Wu Xian secretly wondered.

At this moment, Xiao Dizi's investigation finally yielded results.

"I found it," Xiao Dizi said, "It's similar to the previous situation, just more hidden. This construction site, by coincidence, happened to dig near that invasion point."

"Previous situation?" Wu Xian was startled. "Are you talking about Evil Realm infiltration?"

"That's right," Xiao Dizi said solemnly, "but this time the Evil God power is even stronger, more hidden, and the infiltration methods are much more sophisticated."

Wu Xian took a deep breath, "Try to follow the clues and see if there are any similar infiltration points within Yaoyang City."

"Alright." Xiao Dizi obediently accepted the order.

Both humans and Otherworld beings deeply detested Evil Gods.

Moreover, after refining the mani jewel recently, Xiao Dizi's Heart-Nature had also undergone some changes; it couldn't bear to see such tragic things.

Xu Lu and the association members had also begun researching the tragic scene.

"It's like a bizarre power at the flesh and blood level," Xu Lu analyzed gravely. "The bones within the corpses have also transformed into grotesque flesh and blood tissue under the influence of this bizarre power. Even the surrounding soil and air are slowly being affected by this bizarre power."
