Chapter 404: Great Qin’s Destiny Subdues Thousands of Evil Spirits!
However, the imagined pain did not come.
The Grand Priestess only felt a tightness around her waist, as if something was lifting her entire body.
By the time she realized what happened, she was already safely on the ground.
“Are you okay?”
Li Mo’s voice rang in her ear, and it was like a splash of cold water waking her from a dream—her eyes shot open.
Looking at Li Mo, who had suddenly appeared beside her to catch her, she exclaimed in disbelief, “Is that really Lord of the Divine?”
She had thought she was doomed this time, but Li Mo had shown up at this critical moment.
So, he must have caught her just now?
The Grand Priestess gingerly rubbed her slightly aching waist.
Lord of the Divine is incredibly strong.
Li Mo, however, was completely absorbed in watching the situation ahead and didn’t share her musings. Just as he and Fei Yan exited the cave, he had seen the Grand Priestess being flung away.
Rescuing her had been a mere act of convenience.
But what lay ahead was the real trouble!
“Wait, those wandering spirits!”
The Grand Priestess finally jolted back to her senses.
She turned around only to find that the wandering spirits she had just guided back into the cave had charged out again!
The once peaceful atmosphere above the Ruins of the Temple was gone, replaced by a scene resembling a hellish nightmare.
Countless wandering spirits swirled in the air, howling and clawing for their targets.
Yin winds howled, and the ghostly cries sent chills down spines.
Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess were fiercely battling these spirits.
Although their dragon energy could inflict some damage, with so many spirits here, getting rid of them all was no easy task.
Wei Zhuang’s Shark Fang Sword was almost blunted, yet the number of wandering spirits around him didn’t seem to diminish.
These spirits seemed unafraid of death; for every one that fell, another charged forward!
And that wasn’t even the biggest headache!
Li Mo’s cautious gaze was fixed on a point not far away.
There stood two figures that presented quite the challenge to him.
One was Chiyou, who had emerged from the underground space and had taken over Donghuang Taiyi’s body.
The other was a “monster” many times bigger than Donghuang Taiyi!
The Grand Priestess had just been struck by this entity, spitting out blood!
“What…?”
The Grand Priestess followed Li Mo’s gaze and spotted the “monster” standing before them.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“War Demon God!!”
Finally, amidst her shock, she revealed the identity of the “monster”!
Li Mo murmured, “So this is the War Demon God.”
Though he had guessed its origin, the Grand Priestess’s words were evidently the most accurate.
Legend has it that Chiyou created a total of eighty-one War Demon Gods, of which the Nine Heavens Goddess melted away eighty.
Only one remained in existence.
This War Demon God, like the Chiyou Magic Sword, was buried deep underground, unseen for eons.
It was clear that the power of this War Demon God far exceeded anyone’s imagination!
Standing at a towering height of ten zhang, its body was forged of bronze, resembling an indestructible bronze wall.
Its form mimicked that of a human.
Those arms resembled towering pillars.
If a mortal were to be struck by one of its hands, they’d undoubtedly turn into a puddle of mush.
Such a behemoth, crafted from bronze, was nearly synonymous with impenetrability in this age of cold weapons.
The War Demon God was forged by Chiyou, and of course, it had a special activation method.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Chiyou did after breaking free wasn’t to escape this space, but to awaken this War Demon God!
With this human-killing machine, he returned to the material world!
“Three thousand years, a full three thousand years! I have returned!”
The War Demon God stood in front of Chiyou like the most loyal bodyguard.
Chiyou took a deep breath, savoring the world three thousand years later.
At this moment, the soldiers and citizens of Loulan were completely immobilized.
They stared at the legendary Chiyou and the War Demon God re-emerging in disbelief, their expressions frigid.
The sense of oppression from both was so overwhelming that they even forgot to flee.
“Have you ever considered that the day you leave that space will also be the day you cease to exist?”
Li Mo stepped forward, raising his head with a dignified demeanor.
His voice wasn’t loud, yet it rang clearly in the ears of Chiyou’s evil spirit.
“With you? Or with them?”
Chiyou’s evil spirit looked around disdainfully at the dumbfounded masses.
“You are too weak, too weak.”
He shook his head, a tone of regret lacing his words.
“I can’t believe that humans three thousand years later are so weak. In our time, such beings would only be eliminated by natural laws.”
Survival of the fittest.
In Chiyou’s era, the cruel laws of nature played out ceaselessly.
They not only faced slaughter among their kind but also the threats of nature and wild beasts.
Thus, humans back then were much stronger in both survival abilities and skills than those of today.
This explains the gap in strength between leading figures from two different eras.
Li Mo was the pinnacle of individual capability in this age.
And so was Chiyou!
Right now, Chiyou’s evil spirit was merely a remnant of the malevolent thoughts left behind by the original Chiyou.
It was hard to imagine how strong the original Chiyou was three thousand years ago.
No wonder the Nine Heavens Goddess had to descend to the mortal realm to defeat him.
…
“Every era has its ways to survive. Chiyou, your time has passed. The current humans possess methods more suitable for their survival. You should not bring disaster to this land; it no longer belongs to you!”
Li Mo spoke firmly, without a hint of doubt.
Chiyou’s evil spirit was enraged, his crimson eyes fixed intently on him.
“How arrogant! Today, I have the War Demon God and this army of countless lost souls. This land shall return to my control!”
Li Mo, unaffected, surveyed the endless swarm of wandering spirits.
Suddenly, a cold smirk crept onto his face.
“What are you laughing at?”
Chiyou’s evil spirit glared at him!
If he were anyone else, he would have obliterated them long ago.
But this person was just too peculiar.
Though his level was not what it once was, his methods seemed to counter Chiyou’s evil spirit perfectly.
It wouldn’t be an easy task to kill him.
Li Mo declared, “I laugh at how you’ve wasted three thousand years of existence.”
“Hmm?”
Chiyou’s evil spirit frowned deeply.
Before he could respond, Li Mo continued, “Do you think you can unify the world with the wandering souls you’ve brought up from below?”
“Today, I shall show you what true power of the present era looks like!”
With that, he raised his right hand and shouted, “Seal, come!”
Suddenly, a golden light burst forth from the palace behind him, swiftly settling firmly in his grasp!
Li Mo held the Great Qin Imperial Seal with one hand, its sound resonating with authority, “Today, I shall utilize the entire nation’s fortune of Great Qin to shatter your wicked spells!”
