481: Abyss Battle

Chapter 481: Great Battle in the New Abyss

Wu Xian deeply agreed.

The unique scroll of the Roundworm Elder before them vividly demonstrated the strangeness and profound mystery of the Scroll World.

One could only say that the Association's efforts over the years in recruiting and cultivating talent had finally yielded some results.

Especially the leaders of the Odd Department; every single one of them was a talent.

Soon after, everything was ready, and the vanguards from all sides began pouring into the flesh and blood passage opened up by the Corpse Beetle.

Wu Xian naturally walked alongside Sister Tiao.

The accompanying elites and Elders of the Mechanical Dojo clearly didn't want Sister Tiao to enter, thinking it wouldn't be too late for her to go in next time after they had scouted the situation inside.

But Sister Tiao simply wouldn't listen, so the people from the Mechanical Dojo were all a bit worried at the moment.

"Don't worry, even if something happens, Little Xianzi's Underworld will back us up," Sister Tiao said confidently. "Besides, do you think the God of Mechanical Creation is just for show?"

Hearing this, the people from the Mechanical Dojo could only sigh inwardly with helplessness.

"Oh, right, Little Xianzi, can you arrange some longevity pills for us?" Sister Tiao asked without reservation. "My old subordinates here really need to extend their Lifespans."

"It's doable," Wu Xian laughed. "It's just that resources are limited right now, so I can only squeeze out a portion for you. Of course, if you have Lifespan-related Medicinal Materials on your side, I can help refine them.

Or, I could directly give you an authorized original copy to be produced by a scroll master."

Currently, the difficulty with Medicinal Pill scrolls mainly lies in the principles of alchemy.

Even if others obtained the authorized original copy, they might not necessarily grasp the refining method.

Conversely, the scroll master side, due to the Mechanical Dao Ancestor, can use super Law calculations for production, but their production capacity is limited.

Wu Xian had tested it before; the current [scroll master] could only produce and replicate Grade Three Medicinal Pills at most.

Moreover, the difficulty of the longevity pill lay not in its refinement, but in the scarcity of raw Materials.

"Did you hear that?" Sister Tiao nodded contentedly, glancing back at her subordinates. "Call him Brother Xian!"

"Brother Xian!"

The accompanying personnel of the Mechanical Dojo shouted "Brother Xian" in unison, their tone and expression remarkably sincere and intimate.

"But speaking of which, I didn't expect Little Xianzi to be hiding a background connected to the Association's high-level executives," Sister Tiao mused happily. "Once you take charge of the Association, our club will truly flourish and grow."

"..." Wu Xian shook his head, chuckling internally.

Sister Tiao was indeed still Sister Tiao, unchanged in the slightest.

While chatting, Wu Xian secretly observed the situation in the flesh and blood passage and simultaneously sensed and investigated the aura of the New Abyss.

As he expected, the aura of the entire New Abyss had transformed into the aura of the Flesh and Blood Demon God, or rather, it had taken the shape of the Flesh and Blood Demon God.

The surrounding flesh and blood "rock walls" were densely covered with Corpse Beetles, frantically consuming the flesh and blood.

"Oh, oh, oh, what's going on?" The surprised cry of the God of Wealth came from the Sea of Consciousness. "Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen seems a bit off!"

Wu Xian quickly sank into his Sea of Consciousness to check the situation.

Good heavens, outside the endless Void Realm of the Sea of Consciousness, wisps of power seemed to continuously emerge and merge into the divine scroll of Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen.

"As the Corpse Beetles devour the flesh and blood, they also transfer a portion of the power to the Corpse Ancestor?"

After careful investigation, Wu Xian was greatly shocked.

Just like how the Earth God Temple and City God Temple collect incense and faith, the power generated by the Corpse Beetles' consumption and transformation was continuously pouring in from outside the Void Realm of the Sea of Consciousness.

Those wisps of power contained dense Corpse Qi and Evil Qi.

Other divine scrolls certainly couldn't use it; only the divine scroll of Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen could absorb it.

Furthermore, the nascent consciousness of the Corpse Ancestor was accelerating its gestation and condensation.

Although he was somewhat worried, since he had decided to deploy Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, he had already prepared for various outcomes.

As the groups from all sides continuously pressed deeper, a faint light began to appear ahead.

Soon after, upon passing through a flesh and blood opening, the view suddenly opened up.

The scene before them resembled a bizarre underground world, or perhaps the internal space of some colossal creature.

In the vast cavernous world, flesh and blood tissues crisscrossed. The "sky" and "ground" constantly writhed, and the dense, wicked flesh and blood Qi caused everyone to frown.

The good news was that it was still within the range of what everyone could tolerate.

But the bad news was that as they continued to delve deeper, how to resist the wicked flesh and blood Qi would become a major problem.

Perhaps sensing the intrusion, numerous Flesh and Blood Demons and flesh and blood tentacles began to breed within this flesh and blood domain, swaying between the sky and the ground, creating a truly eerie sight.

However, this area was clearly dominated by the power of the Parasite Elders.

Above the flesh and blood domain, Parasites could be seen wriggling and moving everywhere; even on many Flesh and Blood Demons and flesh and blood tentacles, the figures of numerous Parasites were visible.

Each one looked as if it had been pierced through by Parasites, with the figures of Parasites wriggling and swaying across various parts of their bodies, weakening the power of these Flesh and Blood Demons to a certain extent.

Among them, there were also many scroll Puppets being controlled by the Evil God.

However, unlike the scroll Puppets encountered outside, these scroll Puppets inside the Evil God had clearly developed to a certain degree and had mastered the power of various scrolls to some extent.

Just as the God of Wealth had previously guessed, as time passed and they developed, the Evil God was indeed able to gradually master the corresponding scroll powers.

Of course, these scroll powers were not the "genuine" powers.

Rather, they were a "mutated" version of power infused with wicked flesh and blood energy.

Boom, boom, boom... At this moment, the vanguards from all sides had engaged in battle with the army of Flesh and Blood Demons, and the scene was chaotic.

"What the heck, this meat rat can even teleport?!"

"Teleportation? The thing over here can breathe fire, but this flame is different from normal fire; it looks like a burning blood mist, and its power is extremely strong!"

"Holy crap, what is that demon? Flesh and blood armor is one thing, but what in the world is that flesh and blood cannon?"

Wu Xian, Sister Tiao, and the others were also deeply bewildered by the "Mechanical System" scroll Puppets in front of them.

They had encountered this type of flesh and blood Puppet from the Mechanical Scroll outside before.

They were entirely composed of hardened flesh and blood, looking like some kind of tough biological exoskeleton, with an evil and bizarre appearance.

But these Mechanical Scroll Puppets in front of them seemed to have started "developing" various "thermal weapon" devices.

However, these thermal weapons were no longer the mechanical versions, but rather biological and biochemical versions, spewing out various pus and strong acid projectiles with immense power.

There were even flesh and blood power versions of bloody lightsabers—can you believe it?

Shocking as it was, given the strength of the people from all sides, dealing with them was not difficult.

It was just that they needed to be extra vigilant and defensive against these newly emerging attack methods, as unexpected forms of attack could pop up at any time.

It was worth noting that these deeply transformed scroll Puppets were completely unafraid of the deterrence of the God of Mechanical Creation.

No one was surprised by this.

Since they could display a part of the scroll's power, it meant that the scroll power inside the scroll Puppets had been completely controlled by the Evil God.

But no matter what these scroll Puppets turned into, their essence was still flesh and blood.

Wu Xian decisively summoned the [Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen].

Instantly, Evil Qi surged across the field. The Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, influenced by the crazy sister, smashed a scroll Puppet with a single punch. The explosive flesh and blood power was instantly absorbed by him, leaving only dried, residual meat scraps drained of their "blood Qi."

Whoosh!

The Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen raised his hand, and the Evil Qi in his palm transformed into a massive vortex, drawing large numbers of distant Flesh and Blood Demons into it, like a tumble dryer, sucking the large groups of demons dry into corpses.

In contrast, the attacks of the Flesh and Blood Demons hitting the Corpse Ancestor were like hitting a steel plate, not even qualifying to make him frown.

Witnessing this scene, the people engaged in the chaotic battle were stunned and speechless.

"Is this your Zombie Picture Scroll?" Sister Tiao looked at him curiously. "Seems pretty powerful, doesn't it? And she's certainly beautiful."

"Didn't I tell you?" Wu Xian teased. "Of course, if you think this Corpse Ancestor is too crazy and fierce, I have a much gentler one available later."

"I'll take this one. I prefer them a bit crazy," Sister Tiao said without hesitation.

"..." Wu Xian secretly shook his head.

It just goes to show that Sister Tiao wasn't exactly a normal person either.

Just then, they suddenly heard the Undead Dojo team retreating steadily, accompanied by bursts of cursing.

"Wu Xian, look at the mess you've made!" Zhao Qinghe complained angrily. "Can you control your scroll Puppets? They're absolutely disgusting!"

Wu Xian looked over in surprise, only to realize that the people from the Undead Dojo were being severely beaten by the Underworld System scroll Puppets.

However, facing these scroll Puppets completely controlled by the Evil God, the deterrence and suppression from the Underworld's high-level figures were now useless.

"It's not that I don't want to control them, but scroll Puppets of this level are already beyond control," Wu Xian said, shrugging helplessly.

"I don't care! You created this trouble, you solve it yourself!"

Zhao Qinghe didn't feel ashamed at all and immediately led the Undead Dojo team to hide behind Wu Xian.

He dumped the Underworld scroll demons pursuing them onto Wu Xian.

"Weakling!"

Sister Tiao made no attempt to hide her contempt.

"..." Zhao Qinghe looked slightly awkward and stiff.

But there was nothing he could do. Those Underworld System scroll demons were truly difficult to fight, especially for their Undead Dojo.

In comparison, scroll demons from other Systems were easier to handle.

While Sister Tiao was mocking him, the Jade Rabbit Fairy and the Death God Sky Knight appeared beside her. The Death God Sky Knight was responsible for countering the Undead System aspects, while the Jade Rabbit Fairy was responsible for bouncing and leaping around.

Her cute and nimble figure zipped through the horde of demons, silencing one after another with a swing of her pestle.

She also provided healing and support to her Mechanical Dojo teammates nearby.

The Mechanical Scrolls naturally didn't need the Jade Rabbit Fairy's healing, but the people from the Mechanical Dojo could still get injured.

Under the Jade Rabbit Fairy's healing and support, everyone was full of energy and vigor.

Wu Xian also received a layer of moonlight radiance buff from the Jade Rabbit Fairy, feeling completely filled with strength. While silently releasing Xiao Dizi to deal with the Underworld scroll demons, he took the opportunity to test his recent Body Cultivator achievements.

Although his Body Cultivator talent was mediocre, he benefited from the nourishment of Body Refining Medicinal Pills, and now counted as a quasi-Fourth Stage Body Cultivator.

Boom!

With one punch, he successfully sent a flesh and blood ox-head flying.

Compared to the Corpse Ancestor's scene of explosive punches, it was still somewhat lacking.

As for Xiao Dizi, being a top-tier jade scroll, dealing with a horde of scroll demons was naturally effortless.

Of course, his primary task was still to investigate and locate Mayor Chen.

Amidst the chaos, a huge cavity had been gnawed open in the "sky" of the flesh and blood domain at some point, from which countless Corpse Beetles poured out and fell, beginning to rampage and reproduce throughout this flesh and blood domain.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy, perhaps finding it troublesome to fight by swinging her pestle, simply summoned the massive customized mecha, the [Moon God].

Under the control of the Jade Rabbit Fairy, the gigantic mecha rampaged across the battlefield, crushing numerous scroll demons... Outside the New Abyss, at the front-line command post.

Several Parasite Elders continuously manipulated the Parasites to penetrate deep into the flesh and blood while closely monitoring the movements of all parties.

While Maternal Great-Uncle Elder Feng commanded the overall situation, he guarded the wisp of source mycelium beside him as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Little darling, what is your name?" Elder Feng's gaze at this moment was like that of a fanatic.

There was no helping it; after all, this fungal Great Demon was incredibly useful.

"Hello, Old Senior."

The Great King Fungus responded awkwardly but politely.

At this moment, he felt a sense of inexplicable desolation, like a left-behind child abandoned by his parents.

"What do you like to eat? Grandpa will get it for you," Elder Feng asked solicitously.

"N-nothing," the Great King Fungus replied reservedly. "Um, could you please stop staring at me? I'm scared."

"Scared of what? Is Grandpa going to eat you?" Elder Feng said righteously. "You are my little grandson's treasure, which makes you my dear little darling. If anyone bullies you in the future, Grandpa will stand up for you."

At this moment, the Great King Fungus felt an inexplicable sense of warmth. "Um... Old Senior, you seem to be running out of Lifespan. Would you like to eat some of my mushrooms?"

There was nothing he could do; at this moment, he was somewhat flustered and didn't know what to do.

He could only try to make conversation where none was needed.

Elder Feng was deeply moved by the filial little darling but remained rational. "It would be too wasteful to eat it directly. It's better to wait until Xian'er returns and refines it into a Medicinal Pill before consuming it."

As they spoke, many Association leaders nearby also curiously gathered closer.

"That's strange, why is Young Master Little Wu raising a thing like this?" the experts from the Mechanical Dojo asked, full of curiosity. "Everyone else raises cats or dogs as pets; this is the first time I've heard of someone raising a mushroom."

"How can you look at Young Master Little Wu with ordinary eyes?" someone joked nearby. "Look at the giant beast swallowing the sky on that tumor—it's almost finished gnawing away the Evil God's hemorrhoids."

"By the way, what is this mushroom actually used for?" everyone wondered.

Elder Feng pondered, "They say it can also be used to deal with the Evil God's flesh and blood. Come, little darling, show everyone."

Facing this group of people who treated him like a kitten or a puppy, the Great King Fungus felt very conflicted.

Truthfully, this feeling of being favored and spoiled was quite nice, but being treated this way as a dignified King-level Great Demon made him feel somewhat stiff and aggrieved.

"Um, I can only try. It might not be very effective."

Saying this, the source mycelium quickly bloomed, like finely shredded tofu dropped into water, drilling into the flesh and blood earth beneath their feet, and began trying to draw life force from the flesh and blood.

After all, it was a newly developed ability, and he wasn't very proficient at using it yet.
