Chapter 337: Three immortal species, the starry sky route?
Chapter 337 The Three Immortal Species, the Starry Sky Route?
Ever since Li Yu woke up from the "script" of the Lord of the Curtain, his cognition has been corrected and reshaped.
After leaving Wanfu City, everything I saw seemed extremely new and novel, and it broadened my horizons.
The same is true of the ancient magic boat seen through the car window at this time:
This is an ancient and strange continent!
It is also a giant magic ship floating in the void.
Its main body was apparently formed by the fusion of continental rock strata and the corpse of an obviously powerful evil god. One could even clearly hear a terrifying heartbeat that sounded like thunder, as if the evil god that had merged into the magic boat was not dead.
The Pioneer is also an ancient god's train, but its body is pitifully small compared to the magic ship.
In addition, there are giant bronze trees that are fused with flesh and blood that can be seen everywhere, amethyst rivers flowing in the distance, rust clouds floating in the sky, strange winds mixed with golden sand, stardust that fills all space...all these magnificent and terrifying scenes seem to prove the extraordinary nature of the ancient magic ship.
Just judging from the external appearance, the ancient magic ship seems to be able to defeat Wanfu City.
And this does not even take into account the great object that really attracted Li Yu's attention and almost made him unable to help but open the "Bubble of Truth".
world Tree!
This is an extremely majestic giant tree that is completely integrated into the entire continent.
The whole body is black and gold, and extremely filthy.
As if it was made of rotten flesh and some kind of star marrow, the purple-red light radiating from the star marrow crystal was astonishingly bright, completely replacing the functions of the sun and the moon, while also continuously releasing radiation of astonishing intensity.
Endless tentacle-like branches stretched out in all directions, penetrating the eternal fog that enveloped most of the magic ship and heading into the depths of the void.
The surface of the bark is naturally engraved with a large number of words and textures full of blasphemy and decadent aura, and the roots are like thick blood vessels, drilling into the continent, that is, into the flesh and blood of the ancient god.
Since it is a root system, of course it has the ability to absorb food.
This meant that in addition to the violent heartbeats, the magic ship was also filled with heart-shaking crazy screams.
But these harsh environments do not seem to affect any residents living on the magic ship.
"It is impossible for mortals or any species with weaker characteristics to survive here."
"The high concentration of contaminated radiation is enough to kill most living things."
"Those who can adapt to this kind of environment are either special immortals or truly favored by gods."
“Or, both.”
"I never thought that there is such a special place hidden in this world."
In an instant, Li Yu made some basic judgments.
Because of his observation, the others also looked out through the car windows and exclaimed in amazement.
Even the Son of Taboo couldn't help but look sideways.
These gods' chosen ones are all well-informed, unlike Li Yu who is a real "country bumpkin".
Even they have such expressions, one can imagine how special the Ancient Demonic Boat force is.
The evil intelligent brain of the Pioneer was obviously in a bad mood and deliberately did not provide a detailed description in advance.
It was not until this moment that the relevant background information was transmitted in the form of whispers:
"As you can see!"
"The Demonic Boat is actually a fusion of an ancient continent and a powerful nameless ancient god."
"That ancient god was not completely dead. Instead, after being defeated by the three star gods, he was refined into a piece of continental debris and forged into this radiation magic ship, so that their people can reproduce and thrive here."
"Those three star gods are named Corruption, Snail Abyss, and Shadow Devourer. They came to the world in ancient times and interbred with humans, giving birth to three immortal races."
"But later they were defeated by the six great gods and expelled from the world."
"In order to prevent their bloodline from being cut off, they united to refine the magic boat and threw down a seed of the filthy world tree... But when they finished, the formed magic boat could no longer return to the real world and could only be forced to stay in this void gap."
"For many years, the Filthy World Tree has grown by absorbing the flesh and blood of the nameless ancient god. At the same time, it has used some lucky branches and roots to steal prey from the traps of the Eternal Mist and nutrients from places like the Intestines of the Evil God and the Styx in the underworld. This is how it feeds the three major races whose members are increasing day by day."
"They are the Molting Clan who believe in 'Corruption', the Bone Snail Clan who believe in 'Snail Abyss', and the Shadow Scab Clan who believe in 'Shadow Devouring'. Their abilities are respectively..."
"Because of the special place they are in, the three major tribes all have legendary and demigod-level powerhouses, and there are three star gods supporting them from the outside. In addition, they have a permanent neutral stance, so they have been able to survive for so many years."
"But now, the growth of the World Tree has reached a bottleneck."
"The roots and branches that steal nutrients are also cut off."
"The three major tribes are facing the dilemma of eating up all the resources. Once the World Tree loses nutrients and withers, the Demonic Boat will also collapse, and they will all die in this void gap."
"For this reason, the three tribes secretly formed an alliance with our Wanfu Kingdom, which led to the birth of the [Demon Boat Station]."
"I think you all have received your respective divine orders!"
"Then, go ahead and execute it. Make a deal with the three tribes, complete the mission, and help this world tree pass through the world barrier so that the three star gods can be brought back into the world."
"Once you have successfully helped the Demon Boat tribes, we will open up a passage to the outside world."
"Then the Pioneer will use the Magic Boat Station as its starting point and open up another route to the boundless spiritual world. This train will no longer just travel through the world, but will enter the starry sky and even go directly to your hometowns."
"Once you complete this great feat, you will all receive a free ticket for life."
"From now on, wherever the Pioneer goes, you can all go. Once you get on the bus, you will all be protected by the power of the Great Lord of the Curtain."
……
There is no doubt that this paragraph is actually an introduction to the background of the mission.
Very detailed and direct.
And in the end, he painted a beautiful pie for everyone.
I have to say, an ancient god train that travels through the boundless sea of stars and multiple universes... this scene, just by imagining it, is enough to make people yearn for it.
After listening to this, everyone slowly got off the Pioneer.
And on the bronze square inside the station, we saw the immortals who were roughly divided into three groups.
Li Yu glanced over with a curious look, without any concealment.
No need to look too much, just stare at the three figures in the front, with the strongest and most terrifying aura.
The appearance of the first person already frightened Li Yu.
His entire body was covered in a stratum corneum that looked like rotten bark, with fluorescent green pus and blood oozing from the cracks. The strong radiation caused the surrounding air to become somewhat distorted.
Its face looked like a melted wax figure, and its facial features were completely distorted and reorganized. A hideous gaping hole opened on the top of its head, with a bloody new head squeezing out of it. The shed old skin hung down like a wriggling cloak.
"The Deformed Clan!"
"A tribe that believes in the Corrupted Star God. They are truly immortal species that can absorb radiation to become stronger. They shed their skin once every hundred years, and they enter adulthood after nine consecutive sheds."
"The new body is indestructible and can release radiation storms. The shed 'old skin' will also transform into a strange living creature that can be summoned to fight."
"Every adult individual is proficient in the art of cursing." "This person is at least a legendary in his tribe. His aura is so terrifying. If he has malicious intentions, there will be few God's Chosen who can resist the curse."
"The worst ones are the so-called [Old Skins]."
"It's very much like a so-called magic cloak. A mature molting race can summon nine of them at a time. It's like getting one more great treasure every time you shed your skin."
After complaining in his heart, Li Yu looked at the representatives of the other two ethnic groups.
One female and one male!
The female one looks somewhat similar to a human woman, but it's a weird and scary version.
Its exquisite and graceful body looked completely like charcoal, as black as ink, its skin was covered with cracks, and dark black smoke oozed out of the cracks. It looked exactly like a charred corpse that had just been pulled out of a kiln.
But what really attracted Li Yu's attention was her shadow.
That constantly changing black shadow that seemed like a "living thing".
Li Yu felt an extremely terrible threat among them.
"The Shadow Scab Tribe!"
"The immortals who believe in the Shadow Devouring Star God are just a shadow that can hardly interfere with reality when they are born. The process of adulthood is to constantly invade the real world and use various secret techniques to construct a "corpse" of their own, which is the scorched body. It usually takes eight or nine hundred years to completely achieve this."
"Their entire tribe is composed of only females, so they can be considered parthenogenetics."
"Their abilities are even more disgusting than those of the Deformed. Their true bodies are shadows, which are almost immune to most physical attacks. However, they can attack the enemy's shadow, causing the enemy's true body to suffer equal damage, or completely controlling it as a puppet."
"The black smoke released from their outer bodies is highly toxic. If consumed in excessive amounts, it will char the enemy's body."
"Well, this group is almost the nemesis of most practitioners."
"But if they encounter followers of the Lord of the Forge, or the Chosen One of the Judgment Star Lord like Madam Ba, they will probably be suppressed to death."
As he was thinking, Li Yu looked at the representative of the third ethnic group.
This person's appearance is the most eye-catching.
It can also be clearly seen!
He is a hybrid.
Because of his appearance, he looks just like a snail.
Its back is covered with a spiral exoskeleton, the number of spiral layers symbolizing age, and it is engraved with extremely abstract and polluted text.
Its body is soft and transparent, and the blood vessels and intestines inside are clearly visible.
Especially the "nucleus pulposus" suspended in the heart position, shining with star-like brilliance that attracts attention.
"The Murex Tribe!"
"According to the description of Pioneer's intelligent brain, although this tribe is not very smart, its defense and combat power are both the best among the three tribes."
"Needless to say, their defensive power is great. Whether they are young or adults, they can completely retract into the shell. Its hardness is unimaginable."
"And their combat power all comes from that heart that was created by completely simulating a star core."
"When activated, they can not only release a radiation storm of unimaginable intensity, killing the enemy in an instant or forcing them to become alienated, but even more terrifying is that within a certain range, they can control gravity and gravitational pull, just like gods."
"The most important thing is, at the necessary moment, such as when the survival of the magic ship is at stake."
"They can choose to commit suicide as a clan and merge them into a 'super-large star core', and use it to forcibly drag the three star gods who are eyeing them covetously in the outside world into the real world."
"Of course, to accomplish this, other conditions need to be met, such as the sacrifice of the other two tribes, the sacrifice of the World Tree, and some good timing."
……
“No wonder the six great gods allowed this [Ancient Demonic Boat] force to get stuck in this gap instead of simply cutting it off.”
“These three groups seem very difficult to deal with.”
"If we attack forcefully, it may lead to disaster. It is better to wait quietly for their world tree to lose nutrients and wither and die."
Just as Li Yu was watching one by one and muttering to himself.
The two sides have begun friendly contact.
This was a deal that had already been made!
The three star gods, the City Lord's Mansion, and the divine entities behind these distinguished guests quietly negotiated an agreement in the background.
They just need to execute.
Among the three immortal species, the Murex Clan has the strongest combat power but not much brains, the Shadow Scab Clan is difficult to communicate with, so naturally the Moltres Clan takes the lead.
What surprised Li Yu was that the name of the representative of his ethnic group was quite ancient.
An ugly smile broke out on his waxy face and he came towards us warmly, his old leather cloak fluttering in the evil wind.
"My name is [Transfiguration Taoist], these two are Madam Ying and Venerable Luo. The three of us are each the chief priest of our clan. We welcome you to the Demonic Boat."
"In order to prevent the six shameless gods from finding an excuse to send troops to attack, the Pioneer can only stay here for one hour, so I will not exchange pleasantries with you."
"We three tribes have each arranged some tasks and corresponding rewards."
"Dear guests, please come up and choose."
"This is just the first attempt. It doesn't require us to immediately help our Demon Boat World Tree pass through the barrier and gain freedom."
"If it doesn't work this time, try again next time."
"We and all of you are immortal beings, so there is no need to rush."
It sounded like there was no rush in the Taoist's words.
But he and the other two priests were not slow at all.
As soon as they finished speaking, they moved.
The Taoist summoned out an oversized human skin with various tasks written on it, and Lady Shadow exhaled a cloud of black smoke with the same content.
Venerable Luo simply used starlight to project the text.
The forbidden son, the troll king, the bucktoothed greenskin... these passengers are all overlord-level favored ones in their hometowns.
Although there was an oracle, he was not very interested in completing the mission, especially since the time was so short as only one hour.
But when they glanced over casually, glanced at the content of the task, and saw the reward, they were all tempted.
“Looking for some tiny cracks in the [World Barrier] to guide the branches and roots of the World Tree?”
"Reward: If successful, a tiny star essence."
"Really?"
Almost immediately, the sharp-eyed skull-hunting rat demon saw one of the tasks and rewards, and let out a thrilling cry.
