Chapter 493: The Core of the Evil Realm, The Essence of Evil
However, after entering the Evil Realm, the power of the Corpse Beetle was also greatly restricted.
After all, this was the Evil God's true territory, where its core power resided.
The Evil God had personally constructed the Domain Law of the entire Evil Realm, so the Evil God naturally had absolute control over this place.
Therefore, as soon as the group showed themselves, they were immediately surrounded by countless evil race humans.
They had clearly been waiting for a long time.
These evil race humans looked like red-skinned Avatars, special beings similar to great Otherworld demons, emitting a heavy aura of evil.
"It feels like the Domain aura of the Evil Realm is somewhat unstable." Jin Mingjie sensed the area, a look of delight on his face.
"Haha, the great God of Mechanics must have made some progress," Sister Tiao laughed loudly. "I'd like to see how much longer the Evil God can jump around."
Wu Xian naturally also noticed the abnormality in the Evil Realm.
If nothing unexpected happened, the God of Mechanical Creation and "Heaven" must have gained a certain advantage.
The Evil God was now under attack from both sides and was somewhat overwhelmed.
"If this is the situation, maybe there really is a chance!"
Jin Mingjie's eyes flickered, and he looked at Wu Xian with a hint of excitement.
"First, let's find Mayor Chen's remnant spirit, and then we'll decide what to do next based on the situation." Wu Xian smiled slightly. If there was a chance, it would naturally be best to completely eradicate the Evil God.
As for the evil race beings in front of them, they could just start killing.
In fact, thousands of evil race people surrounding them were already closing in for the kill.
The leading evil races possessed the aura typically found only in Emperor Rank Otherworld beings, and their Rank did not seem low.
The evil race member with the highest Rank was at least Rank 80.
At first glance, they seemed quite difficult to deal with.
But as soon as Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen emerged, the overwhelming Corpse Qi and Evil Qi instantly dispersed the evil race army.
Countless Corpse Beetles scattered around him, like gusts of black wind, sweeping and raging, gnawing at the bodies of the evil race people.
However, those Emperor Rank evil races were still very powerful; the leading Rank 80 Emperor Rank evil race member was actually able to fight the Corpse Ancestor back and forth.
Wu Xian and the others were not idle either, simultaneously unfurling their divine scrolls above their heads and entering slaughter mode.
On Sister Tiao's side, the Twelve Heavenly Riders took their positions, centered around the Moon God piloted by the Jade Rabbit Fairy, and charged into the evil race army.
Jin Mingjie and Miao Youyou's side was equally fierce: one was originally Egyptian Sun God's Possession body, his own power already terrifying, transforming into a scorching sun that shone above the Evil Realm, baking everything within it.
Miao Youyou controlled the newly repaired Cat God to assist Jin Mingjie in the fight.
"Ooh ooh ooh—!"
On Wu Xian's side, the Lord of the Sun Star appeared, and a cry of Crowing at Dawn echoed through heaven and earth, sounding the horn of attack.
Although the Lord of the Sun Star did not have absolute suppression power over the evil race creatures, he did have strong suppressive power over demons and evil spirits.
As soon as Crowing at Dawn was uttered, the entire Evil Realm changed color, swept by a circle of invisible power, and the evil power filling the Evil Realm seemed to be suppressed somewhat.
Of course, this was not the main point.
The main point was the amplification that Crowing at Dawn provided to Egyptian Sun God.
Buzz~!
Under the effect of Crowing at Dawn, the power within Jin Mingjie, who stood within the blazing sun, was greatly awakened, and the overall power and majesty he emitted increased by several times.
"Hahaha," Jin Mingjie laughed heartily. "Feel the judgment of the scorching sun—!"
Following Jin Mingjie's loud laugh, the scorching sun above the Evil Realm grew larger and larger, illuminating the entire Evil Realm.
And within that dazzling sun, a majestic phantom figure vaguely appeared, with the head of an eagle, a solar disk above its head, and a scepter in its hand.
Instantly, scorching light shone upon every corner of the Evil Realm.
In just a moment, the entire flesh-and-blood Evil Realm burst into raging flames, transforming into a sea of fire.
Looking back at Wu Xian's side, the God of Wealth naturally couldn't be absent. The moment he appeared, he immediately began spreading the power of plague.
Next, thousands of Netherworld Soldiers surged out from the netherworld divine map above Wu Xian's head. They were imbued with the power of plague by the God of Wealth and engaged in a chaotic battle with the countless evil race army.
"Sister Tiao, Brother Jin, I'll go look for Mayor Chen first!"
Seeing that the situation here had stabilized, Wu Xian immediately went to rescue Chen Shilong's remnant spirit.
The Corpse Ancestor took the opportunity to break free and followed Wu Xian.
The Rank 80 Emperor Rank evil race member was forcefully taken over by Jin Mingjie's side and could only watch the Corpse Ancestor depart.
"Over there~ over there—!"
Xiao Dizi listened and sensed the surroundings along the way, while clearing out the evil race beings who were trying to intercept them.
Wu Xian was protected by endless Wealth Qi and did not get overly entangled with the evil race people.
His only goal at the moment was to quickly find Chen Shilong's remaining remnant spirit.
Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen rushed ahead, absorbing the power of the evil race beings along the way.
"What is that?"
While fighting his way into the core area of the Evil Realm, Wu Xian was attracted by a blood-red pillar of light soaring into the sky.
After a brief investigation, Xiao Dizi quickly gave the answer, "It seems to be the penetration point from Yaoyang City."
"So that's it."
Wu Xian understood. After rescuing Chen Shilong's remnant spirit later, he would take a look at that penetration point.
The closer they got to the core area, the more evil race beings tried to intercept them.
Low-Rank cannon fodder was fine, but the high-Rank evil races, especially the King Rank and Emperor Rank ones, were not easy even for the Corpse Ancestor to handle.
Fortunately, the God of Wealth was assisting. As soon as the sea-calming pearls appeared, they controlled the entire scene, followed by thunder spells raining down from the sky.
The Corpse Ancestor took the opportunity to wantonly absorb the power of the evil race beings.
It must be said that the power of these evil race beings was quite nutritious, providing a massive amount of growth impetus for Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen.
Consequently, the Corpse Ancestor's power rapidly increased as they fought their way forward.
Whoosh... Overwhelming Evil Qi raged like a wild wind. Wherever it passed, large numbers of evil race beings turned into dried corpses.
Of course, these drained evil race beings did not die immediately; even as dried corpses, they gradually recovered under the nourishment of the Evil Realm's flesh and blood power.
It was like the dehydration of the Trisolarans.
Therefore, they still needed to deliver the finishing blow to these dried corpse evil races.
And for this kind of thing, the Mythical Fire Bird was naturally more proficient. As soon as the Bi Fang Divine Fire appeared, the corpse burning mode began immediately.
Now that the entire Evil Realm had gradually turned into a sea of fire, Egyptian Sun God's scorching sun hanging high above the Evil Realm also provided significant assistance and amplification to the Bi Fang Divine Fire, causing the Bi Fang Divine Fire to spread rapidly.
"Interesting, does something like an Evil Power Core actually exist?"
Wu Xian casually retrieved a gray-black energy crystal from the body of a destroyed evil race being.
It was similar to the divine power core of an Otherworld being, but it was the evil power version of a divine power core.
Even holding it suspended in mid-air with spiritual power, he could still feel the dense evil power trying every means to infiltrate Wu Xian.
He tried to probe the power pathways within the Evil Power Core but found he couldn't understand them at all.
"Speaking of which, what exactly are these evil race beings?" Wu Xian couldn't help but wonder.
"They can be understood as beings under a different Heavenly Dao," the God of Wealth simply explained. "In my view, this evil power was not born purely for destruction.
Their goal should be to erode and occupy the laws of heaven and earth, forming a set of universal order and beings dominated by evil power."
Wu Xian seemed to understand, yet didn't quite grasp it.
"Then how should this kind of power be viewed?"
"It's hard to say," the God of Wealth mused. "But as beings under the current Heavenly Dao, we naturally have to stand on our own side."
Hearing this, Wu Xian gradually understood.
From a certain perspective, the current human world and the major alternate dimensions are essentially products of the same Heavenly Dao order.
And this evil power is like a coveter and competitor of the Heavenly Dao.
To put it simply, they are forces that want to "change dynasties and replace the old order."
Perhaps in the eyes of these evil race beings, they themselves are also evil and heretical?
But just as the God of Wealth said, since they are beings under this "order," they naturally must protect the existing set of universal order as much as possible.
Humans and the beings of the major Otherworlds are inherently opposed to evil power.
This is the fundamental reason why both humans and Otherworld beings are fighting against evil.
"Alright, now is not the time to dwell on such high-level issues," the God of Wealth pulled Wu Xian back from his thoughts. "The fact that the Evil God hasn't shown its face again means its current situation is very bad."
Wu Xian understood and regained his focus, wholeheartedly dealing with the battle at hand.
Sensing the situation along the way, the Domain structure of the Evil Realm was clearly disintegrating step by step, showing signs that it could collapse at any moment.
Clearly, the God of Mechanical Creation and "Heaven" were exerting their power.
So the question was, how could he further promote this trend, or rather, how could he further worsen the situation in the Evil Realm?
He certainly didn't understand the cosmic framework at the evil level, but the God of Mechanical Creation and Heaven probably didn't understand it either.
Theoretically speaking, what the God of Mechanical Creation and Heaven could achieve, he could also achieve.
Moreover, being inside the Evil Realm, the destructive power he generated could be greater.
"It's a pity I can't contact the God of Mechanical Creation temporarily."
While contemplating, the Corpse Ancestor ahead was suddenly repelled by a massive force, a look of solemnity on his face.
Wu Xian and the God of Wealth looked over in surprise.
They saw an evil race man, whose blood Qi soared to the heavens and was even mixed with dense Corpse Qi, walking over in mid-air. His cold eyes revealed a strong sense of disdain and contempt.
"Damn, the fluctuation of a Rank 100 great demon, wait... it should be a Rank 100 demonized evil, and it feels like it's about to transform into the Emperor Realm!"
Xiao Dizi's voice trembled slightly.
What was the concept of Emperor Realm plus Rank 100?
Theoretically, one could already prepare to attain the Dao and become a True God. The current Four Great True Gods were originally Rank 100 Emperor Realm great demons who attained the Dao and became True Gods.
Of course, evil beings naturally couldn't attain the Dao of the current laws of heaven and earth; if they attained the Dao, it would be the Dao under the Evil Realm's cosmic framework.
Wu Xian couldn't help but gasp. Who would have thought that such a powerful evil race being had already been nurtured within the Evil Realm?
Crucially, the Evil God was still far from "changing dynasties," yet it had already nurtured an "heir apparent"?
"Boy, I have been waiting here for a long time!" The familiar voice of the Evil God came from the evil race man's mouth. "How is this Physical Body I nurtured?"
Hearing this, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth were surprised once more.
So, this "heir apparent" was also prepared by the Evil God for itself?
Since it already possessed a powerful Physical Body, why bother nurturing a scroll Puppet?
Could it be that this evil race being had some kind of flaw?
"Where is Mayor Chen?" Since the opponent was the Evil God's vessel, Wu Xian stopped wasting words.
"Chen Shilong?" The Evil God was secretly surprised. "So you went through all this trouble just to find that guy?"
Wu Xian remained silent.
As the Evil God's eyes shifted, it seemed to realize something. "Don't tell me, little brat, that you are also interested in the heaven and earth origin of Yaoyang City?"
"heaven and earth origin?"
Wu Xian and the God of Wealth exchanged surprised glances.
Wasn't it the "property rights" of Yaoyang City? How did it become the heaven and earth origin?
"Right, you're just a little kid who hasn't even fully grown up yet, how could you possibly know about things at this level?" The Evil God looked strange. "In short, don't even think about this thing. It would be a waste if it fell into your hands.
Why not hand it over to me, so I can use it to create a brand new world."
Wu Xian remained silent.
The Evil God then fixed its gaze on Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, its eyes full of greed and excitement. "Not bad, not bad. This scroll of yours is becoming more and more outstanding, as if tailor-made for me.
It's just that it seems someone else got here first."
After speaking, it started negotiating with Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen with great interest. "Your Excellency must be the Will of a True God that descended from the outside, correct? Judging by your appearance and temperament, you don't seem like any proper True God.
Why don't we join forces? You provide this Physical Body, and I provide this endless great power, and together we can achieve a great undertaking?
As for that annoying shackles on Your Excellency, I can help you deal with them. How does that sound?"
Hearing this, Wu Xian and the God of Wealth couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen itself was indeed somewhat unstable.
Fortunately, Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen was arrogant enough. Since he didn't submit to heaven and earth, he naturally wouldn't submit to the Evil God in front of him.
"You are not worthy."
Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, as if stating a very ordinary fact.
"..." After a moment of awkwardness, the Evil God's expression turned ferocious: "Incorrigible! You don't appreciate kindness!"
As soon as the words fell, Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen had already torn through the air, delivering a powerful blow.
Boom!
The Evil God quickly parried, but was still forced back several steps, its face turning ashen.
"Stupid woman!" The Evil God gnashed its teeth, having already categorized Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen as foolish. "With your current power, you are no match for me!"
Honestly, if it weren't worried about damaging this precious Physical Body vessel, it would have seized it long ago instead of wasting words with him.
Since the opponent was so stubborn, it wouldn't hold back anymore.
"Look closely. This is my Domain, my territory. How can you possibly fight against me?"
As the Evil God sneered, terrifying evil power surged forth, and the entire flesh-and-blood world of the Evil Realm began to pulsate rhythmically along with the Evil God's power.
The Corpse Ancestor's expression was serious, but he showed no fear.
"Lend me your spiritual power." The Corpse Ancestor turned to look at Wu Xian, his creator.
"Good, good, good. Use as much as you want, it's plenty!" Wu Xian did not hesitate in the slightest.
All this time, the Corpse Ancestor had seemed a bit "disdainful" of using his spiritual power, but in this critical moment, he finally lowered himself.
And to fully support the Corpse Ancestor, Wu Xian decisively released the Laurel Tree, transforming it into an infinite charging treasure.
On the other side, the God of Wealth silently wrapped abundant Wealth Qi around the Corpse Ancestor, emphasizing a double layer of security.
