"Disrespecting the gods... great sin... great sin!"
The Queen Mother of the West heard Wu Liang's cold sarcasm and was so angry that her forehead veins throbbed as she kept mumbling the words "great sin."
The next mont, the Bright Pearls around her began to flash one by one.
The golden paint that had fallen from her forehead instantly restored itself.
Dark holes began to appear gradually in her vicinity. Any building or ground that touched these spheres would disappear, and they were slowly inching towards Wu Liang, closing in on him.
Their movent was oddly slow, appearing to be so easy to avoid that one could do so even with eyes closed.
But the strangest part was that under the flashing of the Bright Pearls, the scene in front of the Queen Mother of the West seed frozen in ti.
Forget Wu Liang, even the tree branches swayed by the wind and the flags flanking the West Queen Mother Temple ca to a standstill in mid-air, along with the dust kicked up from the ground.
It was as if the whole world had paused.
The only things still moving were those pitch-black spheres.
"Multiple abilities? Didn't expect this Celestial Mountain Guzhong to breed such a thing."
Though Wu Liang was immobilized, his mind was racing, analyzing the current situation.
Seeing his apparent lack of fear towards the dark spheres, the Queen Mother of the West vaguely felt sothing was amiss.
What is he relying on?
Crack—
The next mont, the crisp sound of sothing breaking and a gnawing sound ca from behind her.
Whoosh—
In an instant, the surrounding gusts and fluttering flags started moving again, like a paused TV screen resuming playback.
The Queen Mother of the West turned her head sharply to look.
She saw another Wu Liang crouching on the floating Bright Pearl behind her, gnawing away. With each bite, he devoured a large chunk of the pearl and continued to chew and swallow it whole.
"Wu Liang" lifted his head and made eye contact with the Queen Mother of the West.
He grinned and said, "Sister, is this the one that freezes? That one's for the black sphere, that one's for the self-healing? Tastes pretty good, thanks for the al, haha."
Clearly, this "Wu Liang" gnawing on the pearl was none other than the Puppet Ghost in disguise!
Because Wu Liang had previously rged with the Kitchen Knife Ghost, the Puppet Ghost naturally simulated the Kitchen Knife Ghost's "Breaking Blade," allowing it to shatter the Bright Pearl with re bites.
While Wu Ming was searching the West Queen Mother's hiding place amid the mist, the Puppet Ghost had already secretly hidden itself.
Just now, when the Queen Mother of the West froze the environnt, the hiding Puppet Ghost noticed that only the surroundings in front of this woman and Wu Liang were frozen, while nothing behind had changed.
It imdiately determined that this freezing ability must require sight to be effective!
So it rembered the three flashing Bright Pearls and imdiately grabbed one to gnaw!
"Indeed, if left unchecked, you may even beco a Nation-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost in ti." Wu Liang's voice ca from in front of the Queen Mother of the West.
She quickly turned back, just in ti to collide with Wu Liang now in spiritual form.
The collision between the two caused no conflict.
Wu Liang smoothly entered her consciousness through her forehead, as naturally as a drop of water falling into the sea, disappearing in an instant.
Simultaneously, the "Ghost Compendium" in Wu Liang's mind clearly displayed the Fierce Ghost information about the Queen Mother of the West—
[Divine Statue Ghost (Statue of the Queen Mother of the West)]
[Habit: Constantly worshipped by thousands, considering herself a mortal incarnation of the Queen Mother of the West, yet with thoughts unchangeably akin to a Fierce Ghost.
Can release divine oppression to force all targets to submit for a ti and can convert the abilities of other killed Fierce Ghosts into Bright Pearls for use. (Note: Awakened killed by the Divine Statue Ghost will also have their abilities converted into Bright Pearls)]
[Weaknesses: Each Bright Pearl must periodically absorb fresh blood to maintain existence; when all Bright Pearls are lost, the Divine Statue Ghost can use all Bright Pearl abilities temporarily, no more than three minutes;
After using Divine Oppression, the Divine Statue Ghost will fall into a minute-long state of frozen weakness, during which it can be exorcised.]
"Honestly, buddy, my ability seems like the premium version of yours! How could I possibly lose to you?" Wu Liang speculated, sharing the sa thoughts with the Puppet Ghost upon seeing the information.
This Queen Mother of the West's ability was sowhat akin to his own, both capable of seizing the abilities of other Fierce Ghosts to use as their own.
However, her stolen abilities could be erased by destroying the Bright Pearls, whereas his could be preserved indefinitely.
But dealing with her initially was sowhat tricky.
After all, the "Ghost Compendium" didn't specify the abilities of the Bright Pearls currently in the Queen Mother of the West's possession.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to probe her with the Thunder Ghost and Mist Ghost, leading to his temporary immobilization.
At this mont, inside the Queen Mother of the West's consciousness.
Wu Liang was relentlessly destroying her spiritual consciousness, while she was exerting every effort to fend him off.
Unfortunately, when the Puppet Ghost found the initial Bright Pearl that ford an air wall protecting her surroundings and destroyed it,
the seven or eight Fierce Ghost minions outside, with red eyes, lunged at her.
With Wu Liang and a ghost engaged in a ntal confrontation, the Queen Mother of the West had no ans to manipulate the Bright Pearls to deal with the external events.
The Fierce Ghost minions were precisely the Bright Pearls behind her! They began destroying them one by one!
Each Bright Pearl destroyed caused her consciousness to tremble.
Facing the Wu Liang fused with the Nightmare, a City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost ability, and herself heavily wounded, she was now at her wit's end.
"Cri... great cri... your cri will receive the harshest punishnt! I will skin you, draw your tendons, and cast you into the eighteen levels of Hell, never to be reborn!"
Finally, the mont all Bright Pearls behind the Queen Mother of the West were destroyed.
Her consciousness erupted!
Instantly ejecting Wu Liang from her spiritual consciousness.
"Here it cos, hold out for three minutes, and she's done for!" Wu Liang said to the Fierce Ghost minions around him.
Once all the Bright Pearls are destroyed, the Queen Mother of the West can use all Bright Pearl abilities from herself for three minutes, after which she'll be as vulnerable as fish on a chopping board!
As Wu Liang and the Fierce Ghost minions prepared themselves, the Queen Mother of the West's lofty gaze swept over, and her entire ghostly figure floated in the air, rging with the moon in the sky.
For a mont, it seed truly as pure as a descent of a Celestial Maiden.
"Kneel! Worship your god!"
The Queen Mother of the West's lips moved slightly.
An invisible oppressive force instantly emanated from her, as though her words were commands that must be obeyed!
Before Wu Liang could react, all the Red-robed Fierce Ghost minions beside him, wearing terrified expressions, slowly knelt down.
Even Wu Liang's Red-robed minions didn't have any resistance.
Only a few City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost minions managed not to kneel.
But they were unable to use their abilities, struggling against the divine oppression.
Even Wu Liang was montarily dazed, his mind flooded with a single thought—kneel!
"Damn! What kind of damn ability is this! This is absurdly overpowered!" he cursed.
But before Wu Liang could think of a solution, the Queen Mother of the West's oppressive divine force, compelling submission, lasted only a second.
Then it disappeared from his mind.
And all the Fierce Ghost minions regained their normalcy.
The "Ghost Compendium" in Wu Liang's mind flipped open again, the Fierce Ghost information disappearing to reveal a passage—
[The false deity attempts to alter truth]
[This is a great sin indeed]
