486: Transformation and Awakening

The shockwave generated by the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation raged outward, much like the detonation of a nuclear bomb.

Everyone present at the scene was blown far away by the shockwave.

Even someone as strong as the Evil God Hades was forced back by the might of the Heavenly Tribulation at this moment, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief, unable to stop clicking her tongue.

Good grief, it was one thing for the scroll to aim its muzzle at her, but to strike so ruthlessly?

If she accidentally ruined the embryonic Physical Body she had been dreaming of, that would be bad.

Consequently, an even stranger scene appeared on the field.

The Evil God Hades could be seen cursing, with Death Qi and blood energy surging around her, attempting to help the Corpse Ancestor shoulder the pressure and cope with that magnificent Heavenly might.

"Kid, go easy on it," the Evil God Hades said, her heart aching. "If you break my precious Physical Body, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Unfortunately, her attempt to help felt a bit like a warm face pressed against a cold butt.

The Corpse Ancestor didn't appreciate it at all, or rather, she disdained the Evil God's help.

This scene left the various groups who had been forced back completely bewildered.

"Wait, what... is going on?"

"The Evil God is actually starting to help the Corpse Ancestor?"

"I don't get it, I absolutely don't get it!"

"Also, Wu Xian's Heavenly Tribulation is a bit too outrageous. Just to control the Corpse Ancestor's power, is all this really necessary?"

"Why do I feel like it's not about control, but completely about destroying that scroll?"

"Could it be that the power of the Zombie Picture Scroll is already out of control?"

"No, that's not right. As the original Scroll Master, if he wanted to destroy his own scroll, he would just need to act at the divine scroll level. There's no need to go through all this trouble."

"Then what if the divine scroll's power is out of control? Like the evil scrolls?"

Hearing this, the various groups couldn't help but feel nervous.

Sister Tiao and the Mechanical Dojo side were still relatively calm, as they were aware of the existence of the Will of the God of Wealth.

At least for now, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth were reacting calmly, so Wu Xian must have his reasons for doing this.

It was just that the bystanders couldn't understand it.

"So the question is, which side should we help now?" someone asked, a Soul-searching question.

The various groups all fell into confusion.

Yeah, if they wanted to go up and help, how should they help?

It felt like helping either side would be a bit wrong.

"Let's just not help anyone and wait and see."

Boom, boom, boom...

The might of the Heavenly Tribulation intensified, as if it wanted to completely erase the Corpse Ancestor from this world.

In the blinding electric light, the Corpse Ancestor's body was constantly shattered and repaired, almost as if it had been completely renovated from the inside out.

The Evil God Hades felt more and more heartache the more she watched; after all, that was the embryonic Physical Body she had been dreaming of!

As long as she could seize this embryonic Physical Body, she would be confident in integrating all her power and reaching the true Divine-Grade.

"Damn it, stop hitting it! If you keep hitting it, it's really going to break!"

At this moment, the Evil God was even more anxious than Wu Xian, and even more heartbroken than Wu Xian.

"Let's talk this over, don't go crazy like this. That's your own scroll!"

But no matter how frantic the Evil God became, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth remained indifferent, only quietly sensing the changes in the Corpse Ancestor.

To others, the Corpse Ancestor's aura and power were constantly weakening.

But only Wu Xian and the God of Wealth understood that the Corpse Ancestor was going through an important stage of being reborn from the ashes. The decline and decay at this moment were to ensure that after the Heavenly Tribulation, she would bloom into a more beautiful flower.

It was just that the Corpse Ancestor's current state looked like she might not be able to hold on at any moment, which was quite heart-wrenching to watch.

Not to mention anything else, the Evil God was certainly heartbroken.

Having finally encountered a scroll that perfectly met her requirements, she could only watch helplessly as it was destroyed by its author's own hands.

"A lunatic, this kid is a total lunatic!"

The more the Evil God thought about it, the angrier she became, once suspecting that something was wrong with Wu Xian's brain.

"Fine, if it's destroyed, so be it. As long as I can capture this kid alive, that's all that matters."

Seeing that the Corpse Ancestor was beyond saving, the Evil God simply stopped caring. She would just capture Wu Xian alive later and have him create another scroll.

Meanwhile, the might in the sky seemed to show signs of dissipating.

The might and "power output" of the Heavenly Tribulation were also slowly decreasing.

And the Corpse Ancestor's tattered body still stood proudly between heaven and earth.

"Awoo—!"

The Corpse Ancestor roared at the sky, as if venting the anger in her heart, or perhaps celebrating her victory.

The God of Wealth saw everything and felt relieved: "It's done."

Sure enough, as the Heavenly Tribulation gradually dissipated, the Corpse Ancestor's already tattered body, like a trapped beast breaking free, radiated with vibrant vitality.

The power within her body surged out like a bursting dam.

The Corpse Beetles in the world of flesh and blood were also constantly gathering toward the Corpse Ancestor, becoming a part of her power.

"It seems there are signs of her consciousness awakening and taking shape!"

Wu Xian also quickly sensed the transformation of that consciousness within the Corpse Ancestor's divine scroll.

"?!"

Sensing the Corpse Ancestor's suddenly rebounding aura, the Evil God was first startled, then immediately understood.

"Damn it, so it was to let her be broken and then rebuilt, to further undergo a metamorphosis?"

The Evil God's expression was uncertain, and she couldn't help but think of her own situation back then. Perhaps she could also have metamorphosed through this method?

Instead of growing wildly into the ghostly appearance she had now?

The various groups present were also stunned by this scene.

Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they could clearly feel that the Corpse Ancestor's power was rapidly recovering to its original state, becoming even stronger than before.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The monstrous Evil Qi and Death Qi raged in the world of flesh and blood like a tsunami.

Wherever the aura passed, large areas of flesh and blood tissue were instantly drained of their blood energy, turning into hard, dried meat.

In just a moment, the Corpse Ancestor's aura had completely suppressed the might of the Evil God Hades.

"Damn it, how could this be? By what right does she—!"

At this moment, jealousy made the Evil God unrecognizable.

Wasn't this metamorphosis of the Corpse Ancestor right before her eyes exactly the beautiful result she had envisioned back then?

Unfortunately, she had failed back then.

Therefore, even knowing that her current Puppet Physical Body was no match for the Corpse Ancestor, the Evil God still did not retreat.

The so-called "if you can't have it, destroy it."

The Evil God's mentality was already insane at this moment; even if it meant sacrificing this Puppet Physical Body, she had to go up and tear this "beauty" before her to shreds.

Consequently, amidst the exclamations of all sides, the Evil God Hades hysterically rushed toward the metamorphosing Corpse Ancestor, as if wanting to perish together with her.

"Die—!"

The blood and flesh power within the Evil God Hades was released in a bizarre way, as if some kind of restriction or shackle had been undone.

As her power climbed step by step, the Evil God Hades's body also began to mutate. Countless uncontrolled blood and flesh powers burst out from within her, growing wildly and turning her into a form covered in tumors.

Wu Xian and the God of Wealth, seeing this, subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop her.

After all, the Corpse Ancestor was at a critical stage.

At this moment, a cold and indifferent female voice suddenly echoed in Wu Xian's mind: "I have awakened!"

Wu Xian and the God of Wealth looked at each other, both surprised and delighted.

Immediately after, the Corpse Ancestor, who was standing in the center of the bloody tide, suddenly opened her eyes. The cold and fierce light in her eyes seemed as if it wanted to devour everything.

"Seeking death!"

The Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen sneered contemptuously, lifted a slender hand, and boundless Evil Qi surged and gathered, imprisoning the mutated Evil God Hades in mid-air.
