Chapter 197 A Violent Crush! The Mother of Myths! The First Punch That Shocked the Alliance! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Oh no, it's an enemy attack!"
Looking at the dead members of the Twilight Order, they instantly realized that the guy in front of them was not an ally, but an enemy!
Those Faceless Brotherhood bastards...
He betrayed me again, just as I expected!
"Quickly notify the High Priest to return. The rest of you, take action! We absolutely cannot let him get near the altar!"
Many Twilight Believers hurriedly communicated with the Beast Taming Space, and summoning arrays condensed behind them, from which giant, pitch-black earthworms appeared.
They were entirely black, with no eyes, only a mouth full of ring-shaped teeth. Their bodies were filled with almost tangible shadow power, which quickly covered the surrounding ground and turned it into a pool of water!
"No wonder they're core members, they're even using Shadow Earthworms!"
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes. As a top student with a near-perfect score in the pet encyclopedia, he quickly found the information in his mind even without using the Eye of Truth.
In legend, the Mother of Twilight was born from the shadow of the sun. As the connection point between the sun and the moon, she possesses both light and shadow, which is the authority related to twilight and shadow.
Therefore, the servant beasts born from His power are mostly dominated by these two attributes!
Shadow Earthworms are a representative example, born in the shadow ecosystem influenced by the Twilight Mother.
Like eels, they prefer to burrow into dark areas where sunlight cannot reach. They are ferocious, carnivorous, and like to ambush their prey, drag them into the shadows, completely devour them, and swallow them whole. They are also incredibly resilient and can survive even when cut into several pieces.
If properly nurtured, it has a chance to evolve into the [Shadow-Eating Giant Earthworm], a giant earthworm with the size of a small mountain. It can loosen the soil underground and spread shadow paths, dragging an entire town into the shadows.
Besides the Shadow Earthworm, there are also some Dusk and Shadow attribute pets, all of which are at least leader potential pets!
That's normal, though. Those who can appear here are the elite of the elite. They've all joined the evil god's cult and live a life of licking blood off the edge of a knife. If you only pay them that little bit of salary, who would risk their life for you?
"Shadow Strike!"
"Shadow Claw!"
"A rain of arrows in a daze!"
"Shadow Roar Wave!"
"..."
As core members of the cult, they naturally possess rich combat experience. Their first move demonstrated the good manners of an evil organization, showing no martial ethics and engaging in gang fights!
Let's start with direct bombing tactics!
Faced with this overwhelming and terrifying offensive, the disciple ignored it and continued to walk forward with light and steady steps!
Just when they thought the disciple would be reduced to ashes by the numerous skills, the little spider behind him, or rather the Heavenly Nun, moved!
She slowly raised her head. Although she was wearing a blindfold, she gave everyone the feeling that she could see right through them. The next moment, she swung the shadowy black sword in her hand!
boom!
A flash of cold light appeared, followed by a dazzling purple glow that instantly tore apart numerous skills, causing them to explode in mid-air and dissipate as a vast amount of spiritual energy.
"Damn it! Everyone, keep attacking!"
The followers were not surprised by this, after all, anyone who could be associated with the Brotherhood of Faceless must be quite powerful.
However, their goal was not to defeat the opponent, but simply to buy time!
But when they gave their orders, they received no response for a long time. When they turned around, they saw a horrifying scene!
Many of the pet beasts, including the Shadow Earthworm, began to have a ring of blood lines appear on their bodies, from which dense blood droplets seeped out, and their movements stopped!
"When did she make her move?!" The many followers were shocked. Wasn't that sword strike a shattering skill?
In fact, more than half a year has passed since the little spider inherited the swordsmanship of the true Heavenly Nun.
With the help of the proficiency template, the eager learner not only mastered swordsmanship but also surpassed its master. Through continuous hard work and research, it successfully forged its own path!
It incorporates its understanding of the void into its swordsmanship, and on this basis, it creates a brand new Void Sword Dance!
With a swing of the sword, the sword energy can spread through the void, silently sweeping across an area, making it impossible to defend against!
Void version - Blade Storm!
Even in a small world, he could become a legendary hero who is revered and respected!
Click!
Even though these pets tried their best to suppress their injuries, they still couldn't stop their bodies from tearing apart. They were soon split in two, turning into fountains that continuously sprayed blood mist.
Pfft!
Many of the Twilight Believers also suffered soul trauma due to the severe injuries inflicted on their pets, and staggered to their knees on the ground!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The disciple, leaning on his scepter, moved forward slowly. The followers looked at him and stretched out their hands with difficulty, as if mortals had seen a great god and longed to express their wishes!
But it couldn't make a sound.
"Uh...uh..."
At this moment, they felt as if all the moisture in their bodies was being drained away, and their throats were filled with invisible sand. Trying to make a sound only caused them excruciating pain, like being cut by a knife!
Whether human or the tenacious shadow earthworm, everyone was equal at this moment, drying up and decaying at a visible speed, spreading with numerous cracks.
After the disciples stepped over it, it exploded with a "pop" and turned into dust, as if welcoming the arrival of an ancient king!
Wherever it goes, all things perish!
"This guy... he actually possesses the power of decay!"
The Green Dragon's pupils trembled as it recognized the power used by its disciple!
Decay! Corruption!
Although they seem to differ by only one word, the former originates from the supreme law—a branch of time!
While the life system is indeed powerful, compared to the time that can decay even the gods, it is as different as a firefly compared to the sun!
Everything in the world is but a speck of dust in the long river of time!
Controlling time, in a sense, is equivalent to...
eternal life!
Recalling the inexplicable decaying aura emanating from him, Fanlu couldn't help but wonder if the disciple was some kind of immortal old man who had lived for countless years.
If her previous feelings towards the disciples were merely fear and hatred, then now there was another emotion involved...
fear!
Thinking of this, Fanlu turned her head to look at the Ninth Finger:
"Are you just going to let him slaughter his allies?"
"Did he kill someone? Wasn't he just sorting garbage?"
The ninth finger answered, and continued:
"Sorting trash to its proper place in some unknown corner—such a touching story of selfless dedication, it deserves to be on the news!"
If newspaper editors knew that murder falls under the category of "garbage sorting," they would be terrified!
Fanlu was speechless, and she also realized how realistic and ruthless Ninth Finger was!
After determining that the Twilight Order was useless, they decisively abandoned it and instead let their more entertaining disciples cause trouble!
As one of its allies, Fanlv did indeed feel a sense of shared sorrow over the demise of its ally.
She intended to rebuke the disciple, but then she saw him suddenly stop in the midst of the slaughter, pick up his scepter, and kill several passing insects!
Good grief, you'd slap any passing dog, wouldn't you?
What a bunch of lunatics!
Compared to others, I'm actually the most normal one!?
"Unable to use the souls of insects to muddy the waters, it seems the only option is to fill the scepter with the souls of intelligent beings..."
Another insect turned into dust in front of Lu Yu, but the number of souls displayed in the scepter did not increase at all, which made him sigh.
On the bright side, it might have increased, for example, by 0.000001.
It's much more convenient to go out into the wild and kill monsters than to waste time on this!
And what angers men most is not failing to drill a hole, but having no hole to drill in at all!
If you don't leave any loopholes, how can he plug the gaps?
Lu Yu was so angry that he swelled up to 22 centimeters in height!
He walked step by step to the altar, looking at the ever-changing sphere of shadow. Through the information displayed by the Eye of Truth, he was able to discover that the altar was not far from finding the location of the seal.
"That's exactly why you deserve to die!" Lu Dashan thought to himself.
If you take over my business, what am I supposed to do?
If you don't die, how can I establish a monopoly and strut around on the backs of the Brotherhood of Faceless?
Therefore, for their own happiness, they can only ask the Twilight Order to die!
The Twilight Bishop, who looked like a little light being, spoke:
"Are you sure you want to go against the twilight?"
The woman with the lamp opened her eyes, within which twilight-colored flames burned fiercely. She had no pupils, which looked quite eerie.
She was a full three meters tall, able to look down at the disciples, and said in a calm tone:
"We are not enemies; our ultimate goal is to overthrow this city. What do you want? My lord, I can grant your wish!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, relieved that they could communicate.
He felt a little embarrassed, so he tried to be polite first and then warmly said:
"Um...may you commit suicide?"
Sometimes, most people are like those single men in certain comment sections who claim to be cultured, but in reality, they are the least cultured and less polite than perverts; they just watch and don't say anything.
Lu Yu is the same; he has absolutely no morals!
As soon as she finished speaking, the Twilight Lamp Woman's eyes widened, and the Twilight Bishop, who resembled a little light being, was also so surprised that human features briefly appeared on his face!
They actually mocked me face-to-face!
Too embarrassing!
At that moment, anger surged within him like a tidal wave, and the Twilight Bishop said coldly:
"You insolent fool, you will surely be punished by our Lord!"
"Please let His foot... crush me to death!" the disciple said politely.
"Arrogant!"
For believers, someone insulting their god is infinitely more hateful than the neighbor coming to their house to fix the water pipes!
hum!
The radiance emanating from the Twilight Bishop erupted, suddenly shining brightly, and condensing into beams of high-energy light containing terrifying destructive power, turning the disciple who was about to appear before him into ashes!
"Twilight Explosion..."
The Twilight Bishop roared, but the moment he made his move, the world before him suddenly darkened. Before he could even resist, he was slammed into the ground by a giant hand formed from the intertwined roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree!
Its almost light-like elemental body can indeed be immune to most physical damage, making it a nemesis of firearms.
But from the perspective of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, it is...
Too flashy!
Specializing in targeting illusory entities, then swiftly suppressing them!
boom!
The rat pressed its advantage, unleashing a surge of powerful ghostly energy that relentlessly struck the wooden fish formed from the soul cloud, instantly suppressing its soul. However, this quickly provoked a fierce resistance.
"So noisy!"
The mouse sat cross-legged atop the soul cloud, like a high and mighty rat Buddha. It casually waved its little paws, injecting a large number of transformed seeds of salvation into its soul, and then…
Detonate instantly!
Soul Transference Technique!
They'll take you straight to the underworld!
Bang bang bang!
The terrifying power of the soul's shockwaves converged, directly shattering its remaining rationality and triggering a deeper level of distortion, further alienating it towards the concept of light!
"You're asking for it!"
Upon seeing this scene, the woman with the lantern at dusk let out a shriek, and the flame of the lantern embedded in her flesh and blood instantly rose up, transforming into a scorching heat that swept across the area!
Skill – Fueling the Fire!
Effect: Greatly increases the power of your flames!
Centered on her, countless sparks spread out, bursting into flames the moment they came into contact with the air, transforming into the nascent form of a terrifying firestorm!
Her faith was to turn all heretics to ashes for the sake of the Twilight Mother!
Skill - Ignite!
Skill - Cremation of Firewood!
Skill - Painful Shackles! Ultimate Combo - Light Prison Flame Burst!
Just as the Twilight Lantern Maiden was stacking buffs and preparing to unleash her ultimate skill, the disciple suddenly spoke:
"Wait, you forgot something!"
"Go to hell!"
The woman with the twilight lamp burned with murderous intent, completely ignoring her disciple's words and only wanting to burn him to ashes.
Just imagining the scene made her lips curl into a terrifying smile.
boom!
However, the next moment, the giant hand formed from the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree on the ground suddenly rose up and forcibly suppressed the giant light bulb that the Twilight Bishop had formed after losing control, and squeezed it into a light bulb-shaped ball of light of roughly the same size.
With a thud from the wooden fish, the moment the woman with the lamp was stunned, it was forcibly stuffed into her mouth, abruptly ending her smile!
Because the suppression was removed, the ball of light began to expand further, which led to the Twilight Lamp Woman...
The light bulb is completely stuck!
Even if I want to vomit, I can't!
The smile didn't disappear; it just moved to Lu Yu's face. He was the best at shutting people up!
Then he waved goodbye and walked towards the altar without looking back!
"Aaaaaah..."
Feeling the ever-expanding ball of light, fear flickered in the eyes of the Twilight Lamp Woman. She pried open her mouth with both hands, her jawbone cracking, trying to force it out, but it was too late…
boom!
With a loud bang, the Twilight Lamp Maiden exploded instantly, and a large amount of flesh and blood intertwined with the beam of light was instantly vaporized!
The woman who lit the lamp at dusk has turned to ashes!
In the instant of death, it was swallowed up by the [Shepherd] puzzle piece, becoming a special meadow burning with the colors of dusk.
The Twilight Bishop did not die; the remaining orbs of light gathered together and quickly coalesced into a mutilated humanoid figure, in a state of half-deadness.
"you……"
Just as he was about to speak, he was pierced and shattered by the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree. Severely injured, he had no ability to resist and quickly disintegrated, turning into a rain of light.
Like a meteorite impact that has left the ground cratered and uneven!
Click!
The Heavenly Nun, following closely behind, held up an umbrella and stayed close to her master, silently watching over him!
This scene combines extreme violent aesthetics with elegance!
"This guy is getting more and more terrifying!"
Fan Lu was shocked. Just how much strength did this disciple have hidden?
She deeply suspected that this was not the limit of the disciples' abilities!
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The Ninth Finger slowly clapped his hands, and red light flickered on the three-lobed eye mask. This battle was simply too beautiful!
Only by manipulating everything can one be called...
Art!
Even if the other party didn't have the ability to search for Twilight, Ninth Finger still wanted him to join the Brotherhood of Faceless!
We can't afford to miss out on talent like this!
"Found it!"
Lu Yu didn't care about other people's feelings. He reached out and pressed his hand on the weak point of the altar, injecting a little spiritual energy into it!
Click!
It shattered the entire altar with a single blow, causing a massive surge of shadow energy to spiral out of control. The enormous black sphere was swallowed whole by the rat behind it. Enveloped in black mist, the rat patted its belly, revealing a satisfied expression, and remarked through the soul contract:
"It tastes almost the same as the offerings from back then!"
Since it was made by the same cult, there's not much difference!
Lu Yu had to admire the luck of this hamster. It actually managed to steal the tribute food with the body of an ordinary rat and protected Dayuan City for half a year!
"The mice are the unsung heroes!"
In addition, Lu Yu extracted a great deal of information from the souls of many believers.
For example, some of the Twilight Order's plans, and the abilities of that mysterious [Supreme] evil god's followers, etc.
However, one piece of content caught his attention. Rather than being intelligence, it was more of a myth about the Mother of Twilight.
The version circulating outside is as follows:
The sun is born from the shadow of the Mother of Twilight. When the sun falls, the Mother of Twilight forges a coffin with shadows to bury it, and then, at the juncture of light and darkness, devours the sun's core, becoming a new Mother of Light, who nurtures all things.
The mythology is fine, it's just that the Twilight Order's version is a bit different.
It says that the Mother of Twilight was the original mother who gave birth to all things and gods, but she fell due to betrayal after exhausting herself. However, she was resurrected from the shadow of the sun.
Therefore, when the sun dies, He will bury it with shadows as its coffin, frost as its lid, and night as its path. Then He will devour the sun's core to become a new Mother Sun, regaining the creative authority of the Mother of Creation, bringing infinite light and vitality to all beings, and eliminating all suffering.
Although it may seem like just each religion's embellishment and boasting about its own deity, Lu Yu knows the sun in the main world best!
That's a forbidden position; there's absolutely no possibility of it disappearing!
The great are high above mortals, but insignificant to forbidden beings!
If we want to replace the forbidden sun, we might not even have the chance until the end of all things!
However, what Lu Yu cared about was not this point, but rather that the Twilight Order's praise of the gods seemed to contain many metaphors.
In particular, it doesn't use the word "creation," which is exclusive to the Creator, but instead uses the word "gestation"!
The mystical concepts involved are actually quite different!
The former is the creator, the latter is offspring!
Lu Yu's first reaction was to think of the reproductive authority he had seen at the previous banquet, which involved the righteous god [Master of the Thorns of the Forest].
The more information they gathered, the closer the relationship became between the two deities!
This led him to a guess.
if……
If the Mother who gives birth to all things is real, then is the Lord of the Thorns of the Forest also a part of Him?
"This world is getting more and more complicated!"
Lu Yu sighed and was just about to continue checking the rest of the information when suddenly the surrounding light dimmed, and a vast shadow energy swept in like a tidal wave, covering the sky in just a few breaths!
Hiss!
With a hissing sound, the shadows rippled, and a huge, shadowy three-headed serpent emerged from them, radiating a suffocatingly terrifying pressure!
Morning Star Peak!
We're just one step away from the Radiant Moon!
And on its head stood a sinister-looking old man, hunched over yet possessing an extraordinary air—the High Priest of Twilight!
However, at this moment, he no longer felt that everything was under his control. Looking at the cult scattered with corpses and Lu Yu standing in the center of the altar, his eyes turned red.
They went out to find the location of the seal, but their house was robbed!
He looked at Lu Yu and said through gritted teeth:
"Who exactly are you?"
"Your ever-changing father!" the disciple replied earnestly, leaning on his scepter.
After becoming a disciple, wasn't he also taking off his mask?
No manners...that feels so good!
"I'm going to kill you!"
Hiss!
The three-headed serpent sensed its master's anger, opened its massive fangs, and gathered a vast amount of shadow energy, transforming it into a gigantic shadow sphere!
Once it falls, it will be enough to pulverize most of the abandoned city and turn it to ashes!
boom!
The shadow orb swept in, but just as it was about to land, a black and red tentacle suddenly appeared in the void and easily wrapped around it.
boom!
A massive, soul-devouring demonic cloud emerged from the void, its monarch-level pressure sweeping across the sky like a storm, tearing through the shadows in the sky, while its tentacles exerted a slight force!
boom!
With a loud bang, the Shadow Sphere was instantly crushed, and the moment the psionic energy shattered, a gale arose, turning into countless streams of black energy that dissipated.
The disciples stood in the middle of the altar, their robes fluttering in the wind.
From beginning to end, elegant and composed!
As the saying goes: Behind every successful man, there is an even more powerful man!
He leaned on his scepter, his smile calm yet tinged with a hint of disdain, as if to say…
Your ally was great, but unfortunately, he's mine now!
This made the High Priest of Twilight's face extremely ugly!
But he didn't make another move; the difference of just one level was like an insurmountable chasm!
A supreme overlord at the peak of his power could not necessarily succeed in overthrowing a king, even for top-tier geniuses, let alone him!
He quickly regained his composure, his cold gaze fixed on Ninth Finger, and said in a deep voice, "Do you intend to break the agreement?"
"It's not entirely impossible!"
The Ninth Finger nodded and said with amusement:
"After all, you haven't found the seal after more than half a year. To be honest... well, you're pretty useless. Now, your disciples have better methods. They found your lair right away and guarantee they can find the seal's location today!"
"How is that possible!?"
The High Priest of Twilight's expression changed drastically. Although it was hard to believe, looking at Ninth Finger's attitude, it didn't seem like he was lying to him!
This disciple actually managed to find the location of the seal!
Who is truly favored by the Mother of Twilight?
His expression kept changing, unaware that his altar was only one step away from finding the seal location.
From his perspective, however, it was his disciples who possessed the powerful ability to find the seal, and then, disliking the trash he had raised, they simply swept them away.
As for the reason... it's because they're crazy!
So the High Priest of Twilight hesitated!
Should we take action or not?
However, if one could control the sealed [Supreme] evil god's retinue, one would possess the power to rewrite the entire border landscape and establish a twilight kingdom on earth that belongs to him!
Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and questioned his disciple, saying:
"Even if you possess this ability, there's no need for you to kill my people, is there?"
Although he doesn't care whether they live or die, who will he rule over without these followers?
Since the incident has already occurred, he might as well take this opportunity to question the other party. As long as the guy is in the wrong and makes a slight concession, he can demand compensation and take the lead!
The High Priest of Twilight didn't believe it. Could he possibly be missing from the next plan?
The disciple nodded slightly and said earnestly:
"Indeed, I wiped out your entire cult, which was a minor mistake. But putting that aside, wasn't it also wrong of you to leave them here and affect my mood?"
Upon hearing this, Fanlu slowly opened her mouth wide, a look of astonishment appearing on her delicate face.
This is truly... the most shocking punch in the league!
