Chapter 452: Chapter 446 Divine Weapon of the Evil God - Part 1

Several eagle-headed individuals broke into a run, flapping their wings, each shimmering with threads of wind and lightning arcs, greatly augmenting their speed as they flew towards the depths of the ruins.

The book monster Bubulodi cackled wildly, the pages on its body suddenly flipping open, instantly emitting a ripple of transparency that spread far and wide from the eagle-headed individuals.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several individuals smashed into the ground, as if bound by a heavy thousand-pound weight.

"No!"

One eagle-headed individual looked back and saw the monster swiftly approaching, his eyes filled with despair.

Pffft! Pffft!

With a stomp of the monster’s large foot, several bursts of blood blossomed on the ground, then no trace of the eagle-headed individuals remained.

The book monster laughed heartily, holding the Wolf Fang Club, and then turned to walk deeper into the ruins.

It, however, failed to notice that not far away on a small hill, a small group of headless individuals in white robes were standing.

The individual in front, despite lacking a head on his neck, had a pale blue, semi-transparent orb floating there, exuding an air of mystery.

Buzzing...

These individuals seemed to be communicating with each other in an unintelligible language.

"That’s the Demon Book Bubulodi... the Guardian of the relics. Our people from the Illusionary Light Tribe can pass the Guardian’s test without being attacked,"

"But we need to consider the attitude of enslaving the Ha Tribe."

"With Lord Joy God arriving in person, even if it’s enslaving the Ha Tribe, there’s no need to worry too much."

"After all, this is their territory."

"Those who obstruct us, just kill them all."

"If the Ha Tribe could control the Demon Book, the situation could become very troublesome."

"Joy God is invincible. In these Outer Regions."

A group of Illusionary Light Tribe people vibrated rapidly like insects as they communicated.

The leader, however, remained silent, just listening. The blue orb above his head flickered, breathing in a rhythmic pattern.

After a while, when his kinsmen had almost finished speaking, he slowly turned around.

"The Evil God Weapon bred by the fragmentary thought of the Evil God hasn’t moved for a thousand years, its sudden activity definitely signifies a special anomalous state has been born. It could be an opportunity, or it could be a disaster."

"Joy God need not be overly cautious,"

a member of the Illusionary Light Tribe whispered.

"With the prophecy of the elders about the Evil God Weapon, even if we don’t get it this time, we should be able to deal with the disgusting Sand Rabbit Tribe."

"Perhaps," Joy God said impassively, turning his head toward the depths of the ruins, where a giant temple-like building loomed vaguely.

Transparent, distorted figures were barely visible around the building, constantly fluttering and floating around it.

"The Sand Rabbit Tribe borders the Human Race. Apart from learning the cunning and deceit of the Human Race, their own bloodline has degenerated. It’s only natural that they’ve ended up this way."

Another expert of the Illusionary Light Tribe spoke calmly.

"Human Race..." Joy God repeated, "merely an ordinary group, yet they manage to survive within the Yang membrane, fearing the true power of heaven and earth immensely. That such a group has developed in such numbers is quite impressive."

"Naturally, comparing them to our Illusionary Light. It’s about time, Joy God, we should go," a high-ranking member of the Illusionary Light Tribe spoke softly.

"Let’s go," Joy God said, giving one last nod to the wandering Demon Book Bubulodi in the distance.

He extended his right hand.

Puff!

A burst of blue light exploded, instantly enveloping a group of people and then completely vanishing from the spot.

*****************

On the right side of the ruins, within a gray-white desolate desert.

At that moment, a large congregation of gray rabbit people was assembled.

All these rabbit people had rabbit heads and human bodies, with heads covered in fine gray-white fluff, and two conspicuous large incisors clearly visible.

All the rabbit people were dressed in tight outfits, forming a neat line-up, subtly emanating a faint mist-like aura.

Large swathes of misty aura came together, forming a vast dome that secluded the surrounding skies, hiding themselves.

"Be it the Illusionary Light Tribe or the Blindfly Tribe, they are all centered around the greatest treasure of the Evil God Temple, the Evil God Weapon," a giant black rabbit person, substantial as a small elephant and bulging with muscles, holding a war hammer, instructed resonantly.

"Our tribe is facing the greatest crisis at this stage. The Illusionary Light Tribe has even sent one of the Ninety-Nine Gods, Joy God, and the Blindfly Tribe possesses the power to summon local evil power; their Supreme God can arrive at any moment with a split thought. Our tribe is too weak to confront them head-on."

"What does the leader suggest?"

An older rabbit person asked in a deep voice.

"We’re among the first few tribes to arrive here. Those brainless guys from the Illusionary Light Tribe must have foreseen something, otherwise they wouldn’t be rushing here eagerly. We’ll first control the surrounding vegetation, grasp all the situations, and then decide how to act," the leader rabbit person tapped on the war hammer in his hand, producing a dull thud.

"Let’s first intervene with an illusionary body; it’s best to wait until they are both severely injured, with Joy God entangled with the Demon Book Bubulodi, then our tribe can emerge and intervene, seizing the Evil God Weapon," the rabbit person leader chuckled heartily.

"If even the Blindfly King makes a move, then our tribe..." the old rabbit-like creature worriedly said.

"Don’t worry, as long as I am here, nothing will happen. If necessary, I will use the royal artifact to swiftly relocate all our people!" the enormous rabbit-like creature said indifferently.

"Being fearful of every little thing, why then come here to compete for the Evil God Weapon?"

"Alright...."

************************

The Void Ship descended slowly and came to a stable stop on an open space on the periphery of the ruins.

Boom.

After a not-so-intense impact sound, the entire Void Ship slid a short distance on the sandy ground before finally coming to a steady stop.

The sky blazed with the harsh sun, and the temperature felt scorching.

A large swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes and bees scattered from around the Void Ship, flying off in all directions in search of any potential life forms.

Lin Xin lightly stepped on the deck beneath his feet and floated up, landing steadily on the ash-gray ground.

"This is the place Hongye mentioned for storing items." He was already thousands of miles away from the Homogeneous Membrane, having hunted a large number of mutated insect species along the way and gathered many memory fragments.

It turns out that this area belongs to the Blindfly Tribe, which also has a nickname of enslaving the Ha Tribe.

For him, this place was already far from the Human Race territories. However, according to the memory fragments from these creatures, to some intelligent beings, this place was still on the boundary of the Human Race’s Membrane.

Nearby, there was even a medium-small tribe that was relatively friendly with the Human Race, the Sand Rabbit Tribe.

"I wonder what the items are that Senior Hongye said could help me."

Lin Xin looked around. His recent massacre had alleviated the pain, causing him to passively absorb a vast array of memory fragments, and in an effort to distract himself from the intense pain, he mutilated himself while using his soaring comprehension to analyze the Taoist Intent he had encountered before.

Combining this with the absorbed creature memories, surprisingly, his perception of Taoist Intent had finally reached a Genius Level.

Even without a complete understanding of Taoist Intent, he could infer the essence of Taoist Intent through its many manifestations and principles.

In just over ten days, his insight had suddenly expanded by more than a dozen new types of Taoist Intent.

Together with what he had always accumulated before, he now met one-third of the requirements for breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Yuan Dou Demonic Technique.

Moreover, under the enlightenment brought on by severe pain, he even felt that he could speed up the process.

"Is this the ’benefit’ of the side effects that Senior Hongye mentioned?"

He licked his dry, cracked lips.

With a wave of his hand.

Whizz!!

Instantly, a huge, dark swarm of insects around the entire Void Ship scattered in all directions like a black tide.

Leaving behind thousands of Demon Bee Queens guarding the ship. As long as the Demon Bee Queens are alive, they can continuously produce a vast number of eggs, almost providing an endless army.

"Do not attack just yet, stay hidden, and report back everything you observe," Lin Xin commanded through a soul link.

Having arrived here, he understood the forces that dominated this area by absorbing the memory fragments of several intelligent beings.

He also knew very clearly that without the protection of the Homogeneous Membrane, the Human Race could not even dream of holding such a vast territory.

Not to mention anything else, from the memory fragments, even the weakest nearby, the Sand Rabbit Tribe, each member was at least at the Second Grade level.

A mark of the Second Grade is the ability to freely manipulate natural forces such as spiritual power and demonic power.

Members of the Sand Rabbit Tribe are born with the talent to control plants and have hunting capabilities that can rival tigers or leopards after reaching adulthood, along with their innate advantage of controlling plant-based and Wood System demonic power, making them formidable opponents even for those who are slow in their actions at the Second Grade.

Some of the more accomplished members of the Sand Rabbit Tribe can easily break through to a destructive power akin to the Fourth Grade Golden Core Stage.

Even the three strongest members of the Sand Rabbit Tribe, each according to memory fragments viewed, at least rival the level of top powerhouses like Quan Sheying.

Compared to the frail Human Race, they are overwhelmingly stronger.

If even the Sand Rabbit Tribe is like this, not to mention those large tribes nearby.

In the Outer Regions, the existence of these large tribes amounts to no more than ordinary forces that can occupy small territories for stable living.

Beyond that, there are truly formidable giant forces. For example, the Giant Tribe. It is said that they are even an ancient race that once carved through the Nether River. Their power penetrates the heavens and the earth.

"What a magnificent world... Compared to the inside of the Homogeneous Membrane, the Outer Regions are truly more vast and free... If only... perhaps there will be a chance to travel here in the future, but not now."

Lin Xin looked up towards the ruins in the distance.

Behind him, with a few swooshing sounds, Yin Mantuo, the Twin-winged White Snake, and the Golden Armor Beetle Keke Sai, three transformed great demons, simultaneously appeared behind him.

"Master, why don’t we go in first and sweep the enemies to clear the way for you?" the White Snake asked very respectfully and cautiously.

"Foolish!"

The Golden Armor Beetle scoffed coldly.

"This isn’t your old home in the Slant Rooms; this is the true Outer Regions. Don’t even talk about sweeping them away, even a random encounter with a monster here requires utmost caution, or else you won’t even know how you died."

Yin Mantuo, dressed in a red dress, stood motionless, her petite body still, her eyes lifelessly quiet as if she were meditating.
