Chapter 315: Nine-Tailed Fox! Watch Me, Am I More Human or Divine? (Part 2)
"I'll spare your lives for now."
Hongwu took a deep breath, his brows furrowed as he braced himself against the third tribulation thunder.
And at that very moment...
A terrifying tribulation thunder with a diameter of more than ten feet descended.
Its hue...
A deep purple with a hint of black!
Hongwu's face instantly turned green.
This terrifying tribulation thunder was indeed too much for a mortal to withstand! Hongwu cursed inwardly, but he had no choice but to face it head-on.
"Get out of my way!"
He roared.
With all his might, he struck out, but it was only for an instant before he was engulfed by the tribulation thunder with a diameter of over ten feet...
Crackle and boom!
Electric snakes slithered, and faintly, a pair of horns began to emerge from his head, as if he were transforming into a dragon!
But Hongwu's reputation over the years was not built on empty words.
After a few breaths, Hongwu shattered the tribulation thunder and reappeared.
But at this moment, he looked extremely miserable.
His entire body was scorched, and the aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air.
"Damn it!"
"I can't wait any longer."
"A slight change of plans won't stop me. After I pass through this tribulation, not a single one of you will escape!"
"You all, listen up!"
"Move immediately!!!"
Hongwu had already seen the Liu family members being awakened, and Lu Ming was leading them in their escape.
He also saw Lu Ming's incarnations and illusory bodies awakening many people, killing some of his own subordinates, and creating great chaos.
Similarly, Wang Yulin and the others, like rats, had escaped the net. They continued to awaken others, and the Hongwu Immortal Alliance's formation was broken as one scoundrel led them away...
But at this moment, he couldn't afford to worry about them.
His own life was the priority.
These people...
As long as he could pass through this tribulation, would they still be alive?!
Under his command, the black-clothed individuals immediately sprang into action.
Even if they were engaged in a bloody battle with Lu Ming's men, they still had to leave a mark before dying.
And at that very moment...
Hongwu watched the tribulation still brewing in the sky, and he took a deep breath.
Then...
Boom!!!
Terrifying demonic power instantly spread out, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, adding a touch of eerie color to the already pitch-black sky.
Then...
Nine fluffy, slightly charred tails quietly appeared behind Hongwu.
A giant fox silhouette also emerged at this moment.
Wang Yulin's brows furrowed.
"Fuck!"
"So it's the biggest fox spirit!"
"A nine-tailed fox??"
"No wonder his subordinates are all fox spirits, and they're so strong!"
"Is he revealing his true form at this moment? What's his plan...?"
"..."
"A fox spirit?!"
In Hongwu's Immortal City, Zhang Wei closely monitored everything.
"The loose immortal Hongwu is actually a fox spirit?!"
"He's been hiding so deeply. Before this, there wasn't even a single clue or piece of intelligence."
"It's just..."
"Is he revealing his true form because he's desperate?"
"And Lu Ming..."
"He..."
"Why does he have so many of the Moon Holding Sect's secret techniques?"
"Could it be..."
"Is he a water jumper?!"
"!!!"
"..."
"So he's the strongest fox spirit!!!"
Wang Yulin's divine consciousness sensed the giant fox in the void and the nine tails that resembled 'divine whips' waving in the air.
"Damn it."
"No one told me that we, the Alliance Leader, were facing a nine-tailed fox?!"
"He's..."
"What's he up to?!"
The awakened group was extremely shocked.
Fan Jianqiang, who had mixed with them, rolled his eyes, "You can be shocked and talk all you want, but don't slow down your escape and don't stop your feet!"
"Otherwise, I won't care about you."
Everyone: "..."
Wang Teng also waved his hand, "Hurry up and run!"
While defending against the black-clothed individuals' attacks, they all fled with their heads down.
Fan Jianqiang approached the red-eyed youth and muttered, "Is it ninjutsu or illusion? Are they all just magic tricks?"
"What are you talking about?"
The red-eyed youth looked perplexed.
"..."
Fan Jianqiang shook his head, "Nothing, I just thought you were a fellow countryman. You look very similar."
When he saw the red-eyed youth, Fan Jianqiang almost thought that Er Zhuzhi had crossed over! Their hairstyles and appearances were alike.
But their eyes...
They had a 'problem.'
If they didn't have a few innate eye arts, they wouldn't dare to have such eyes.
But with these eyes, one look would reveal their 'problem.'
What if...
Whether it was Er Zhuzhi crossing over or a fan of the anime crossing over, they shouldn't be unfamiliar with this sentence.
As for acting...
Fan Jianqiang didn't believe anyone could act in front of him and hide it from him.
"Escaping is the priority."
Fan Jianqiang emphasized.
"..."
"Run!"
Although they didn't know what Hongwu was planning, this guy definitely had something big planned.
Lu Ming didn't want any delays and led Liu Wanli and the others out of Hongwu's Immortal City at the fastest speed.
But...
There were too many Liu family members.
Even if they had prepared their belongings in advance, Lu Ming's speed wouldn't be too fast.
Fortunately, the previously awakened incarnations and illusory bodies were mostly still alive, and they all rushed over to protect them for the time being.
"It's a pity..."
Lu Ming frowned slightly, "The incarnations and illusory bodies don't have otherworldly fire, so they can't use the Immortal Fire Transformation."
"But..."
"Douzi Secret!"
Buzz!
All the incarnations and illusory bodies simultaneously unleashed the Douzi Secret.
The Douzi Secret was an ultimate combat art, capable of simulating any attack and evolving various offensive divine techniques. When cultivated to the extreme, it could even evolve Imperial Divine Armaments.
The Douzi Secret was like a computer, providing the optimal solution.
It could analyze and deconstruct all the techniques and abilities it had learned, then restructure them into the most suitable offensive divine techniques.
By deriving from the Douzi Secret, their own techniques, and other means, they could achieve 'Extreme Realm Transcendence,' resulting in a surge in power!
Originally, they were just 'guards,' but at this moment, they instantly counterattacked and began to fight back!
However...
At this very moment, having already restored his true form, a giant fox-like figure, Hai Dongpo, spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the entire Hongwu Immortal City and the Hongwu Immortal Alliance.
"Lift your heads."
His voice was filled with an enchanting aura.
Upon hearing his words, all those who were previously enchanted raised their heads, gazing at the sky and the void where Hongwu stood.
"Look at me."
"You look at me..."
"Are you more like a person or a god?"
"!!!"
Hearing these words, Li Hua's) body instantly broke out in goosebumps.
"Impossible..."
His scalp tingled.
This was the Xianwu Continent, a world of cultivation.
And yet, there was this kind of operation. At the same time, Zhang Wei was shocked.
"Damn!"
"He's actually going to use this move?"
"What move?"
Wang Teng was utterly confused.
The others were in the same state.
Anyway, they couldn't understand, and they were even more perplexed as to why Hongwu would suddenly reveal his true form and then say such a thing.
What the hell was this?
Are you more like a person or a god?
He's more like a three-egg black donkey.
Clearly, he was just a fox demon, or at most, a great demon. Yet, he was asking if he was more like a person or a god? Was this even a question? He should have asked if he was more like a demon or a beast! This was such an odd operation, and everyone was baffled.
However, Zhang Wei's reaction indicated that he understood something.
"Oh my!"
"I can't explain it clearly right now, but let's leave first. We can discuss the rest later."
At the same time, those who were enchanted and controlled simultaneously spoke, like walking corpses: "I see you as the most supreme deity."
The number of controlled individuals exceeded two hundred million!
The population of Hongwu Immortal City had already surpassed a hundred million, and during this time, the city had been developing and attracting talents, making it even more prosperous.
Adding those enchanted by Hongwu in the Hongwu Immortal Alliance...
Roughly estimated, they numbered over two hundred million.
Whether it was three hundred million or more, it wasn't yet clear.
But with so many people speaking in perfect unison, it was already freakish enough. What was even more bizarre was that the timing of their speech was perfectly synchronized!
Thus, even though each person's voice wasn't loud, when the voices of hundreds of millions of people converged, it shook the nine heavens, and in an instant, even the thick tribulation clouds in the sky were dispersed.
Beams of sunlight pierced through the 'cracks,' shining upon the crowd. Some people appeared half-dark and half-light, with half of their bodies hidden in the darkness and the other half exposed, looking extremely demonic.
...
In the void, the nine-tailed fox-like figure, Hai Dongpo, showed no signs of anger, but he spoke again, "Is it true?"
"I don't believe it!"
"..."
The controlled individuals didn't hesitate and synchronized once more!
They pierced their eyebrows, letting the blood flow, and then spoke, "I swear upon myself, you are the most supreme deity."
"Furthermore, I vow to offer my flesh, blood, and divine soul, sacrificing everything I have to help you ascend to immortality!"
"Sacrifice!!!"
Hundreds of millions of people sacrificed themselves!
And it was a 'self-sacrifice'! In an instant, countless blood energies soared into the sky.
And since they were cultivators, their self-sacrifice was extremely 'convenient.'
Almost no operation was visible, and they began to 'decompose,' directly transforming into the purest blood energy in the world, continuously converging towards Hongwu.
"I don't believe it..."
The nine-tailed fox-like figure, Hai Dongpo, let out a bizarre laugh.
As these blood energies nourished him, his injuries healed almost instantly, and his strength continued to grow. Even... his aura was rapidly transforming.
Initially, his entire body was filled with dense demonic energy.
But at this moment, the demonic energy gradually became 'holy' and even 'divine'! At first glance, he gradually appeared more like a deity than a great demon.
"..."
"In an instant, the vast Hongwu Immortal Alliance and the expansive Hongwu Immortal City became empty?"
"Has it... become a ghost town?!"
Liu Wanli and the others from Liu Family, who had managed to escape, were instantly horrified.
That sea of blood energy...
How many people had died?!
"Won't he fear divine retribution?!" An elder from the Liu Family exclaimed.
Everyone from the Liu Family and those who had the fortune of escaping with Li Hua was terrified.
Who wouldn't be afraid?
If they had been a little slower or less lucky, and hadn't received the help of the great Li Hua, they would undoubtedly have been among those hundreds of millions.
They would have 'self-sacrificed,' 'self-decomposed,' becoming someone else's nourishment, and in the end, they wouldn't even know how they died.
But they couldn't understand.
"Killing so many people, will he still be able to pass through the Loose Immortal Tribulation?"
"The difficulty of the Loose Immortal Tribulation will definitely increase, won't it?"
"..."
Li Hua sighed, "It's not like he killed them. It's their choice to sacrifice themselves; what does it have to do with him?"
By this point, he finally understood.
He also grasped why Hongwu went through such great lengths, even forming the Hongwu Immortal Alliance, and using large funds to subsidize and snatch people...
All for this moment!
To make everyone sacrifice themselves to help him transcend the tribulation!
And...
Not just to transcend the tribulation!
"But." Someone was puzzled, "Even if they sacrifice themselves, and it wasn’t he who personally killed them, but this ultimately can't be separated from him, can it?"
"..."
"...?"
Hongwu Immortal Alliance aside, Fan Jianqiang was facing the same issue.
He told Chen Bixuan and others, "Why can't you be separated from him? The one who cast the enchantment is his subordinate, not him. These hundreds of millions of cultivators are self-sacrificing..."
"How is it related to him?"
Even if he were a remnant like Fan Jianqiang, at this moment, his heart was filled with overwhelming rage.
Too ruthless!
Too damn ruthless!
For his own selfishness, he directly slaughtered hundreds of millions of cultivators!
It's just that the Immortal Continent of Martial Arts is vast. Otherwise, after such a harvest, how many more cultivators would be left in this world?
But even if the Immortal Continent of Martial Arts were vast, you can't play like this!
Even if you were a native of the Immortal Continent of Martial Arts, accustomed to life and death, accustomed to the survival of the fittest, accustomed to the massacre of cities and the fall of nations, at this moment, everyone would feel terrified, unable to calm down.
What about Fan Jianqiang, this transmigrant?
In modern times, there are laws and order.
Even though it might not be absolutely fair, at least no one dared to do this.
Even between nations, they wouldn't dare to be this cruel.
But...
These damn people of the Immortal Continent of Martial Arts are truly without restraint.
bounds.
Hundreds of millions of lives, hundreds of millions of cultivators, just killed! Even if you truly killed them, I could still look up at you, you ruthless bastard! Could you even make them sacrifice themselves, make them die, and they wouldn't even know how they died?
Going too far!
From the moment of transmigrationFan Jianqiang had never been so desperate to kill someone as he is now.
"This..."
Chen Bixuan was still unconvinced, saying, "What you said is true."
"They indeed sacrificed themselves, the one who made the move was indeed not Hongwu, but these black-clothed ones, didn't they all follow? Didn’t they listen to his orders?"
"How can it not be related to him?"
"Is the Heavenly Dao so could so foolish as to not ‘turn the corner’?"
Fan Jianqiang nodded, "What you said isn’t wrong."
"The Heavenly Dao indeed isn’t that foolish, but it certainly isn’t as clever as you think. This damned fox will definitely be affected, but the impact isn’t as great as you think."
It was at this moment...
The Heavenly Dao seemed to finally react.
The tribulation clouds churned, and the tribulation thunder roared, even more terrifying than before.
At least, it increased by more than tenfold.
It was terrifying!
"He’s dead for sure." Chen Bixuan smiled, thinking Fan Jianqiang had made a mistake.
However, she didn’t belittle him.
After all, he was their savior.
If not for Fan Jianqiang’s timely arrival and use of various formations to block, even if they managed to break free from the control of the enchantment, they wouldn’t be able to escape from those black-clothed individuals.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao...
What an exalted existence?
Could it be that these minor cultivators dare to speak thus?
Fan Jianqiang slowly shook his head.
But he didn’t say anything more.
Instead, he gazed at those black-clothed individuals...
After controlling all those enchanted simultaneously and sacrificing them, they were instantly affected.
Too many were killed!
And they weren’t demon cultivators. If they were, they’d be accustomed to killing, perhaps already used to this kind of 'backlash' effect, which wouldn't be too significant.
But for these fox demons, it was different.
They were almost instantly enveloped by the heart demon, forced to sit cross-legged and even revert to their original form, striving to resist the heart demon and maintain a clear mind.
Previously...
Fan Jianqiang hadn’t intended to fight them, but he couldn’t stand it any longer.
His brows furrowed, and when no one was paying attention, he tossed a small trinket from his sleeve.
And that small trinket seemed to just vanish into the ground, disappearing.
A moment later...
BOOM!!!
At the location of many black-clothed individuals of the Hongwu Immortal Alliance, 'Limitless Divine Light' suddenly erupted, all the black-clothed individuals who were struggling with the heart demons were instantly engulfed.
When the Limitless Divine Divine Light disappeared, they vanished along with it.
"!?"
Wang Teng’s scalp tingled, "Did Long Ao Jiao come too?"
"She’s stronger!"
Fan Jianqiang nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah, she’s much stronger!"
"..."
"..."
"Mr. Overseer, what should we do now?"
Seeing the Loose Immortal Tribulation growing more terrifying, everyone was somewhat panicked.
Liu Wan Wan looking at Lu Ming, even though he had ideas all along, at this moment, was completely unsure and didn’t know what to do.
"This place isn’t suitable for lingering, let’s head to the Moon Holding Sect first." Lu Ming’s face was grave. "As for the others, escape on your own, if you can. That old thing has already targeted us."
"..."
Liu Wanli probed.
"I... have to stay and try to buy some time."
"Otherwise, going to the Moon Holding Sect won’t help. That old thing is already on to us."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.
"..."
"Let’s go!" Lu Ming growled, "Staying will just drag my legs."
The others from the Liu Family could only smile bitterly, "Please be careful."
Then, they retreated like a flood.
And at this moment, Lu Ming tilted his head, staring at the sky, "That old thing, it seems, has come."
Helpless, he turned his head, looking at a tree in the distance, "Fellow Daoist Ji, Sect Master, the enemies are coming fiercely… can you help?"
