885: Chapter 0839: Choosing Hell When Heaven’s Gates are Open!
Watching the creatures erge from the Drowning River, Lv Zhong’s heart was ablaze with excitent.
“That’s right…
jellyfish…
This creature looks like a kind of jellyfish…”
Suddenly, Lv Zhong had an epiphany and abruptly realized what type of creature this was.
Lighthouse Jellyfish!
The genuine badass creature of Earth’s legends, rumored to possess the secret of eternal life.
On Earth, the Lighthouse Jellyfish’s diater is only 4 to 5 milliters, and it belongs to the class Hydrozoa.
It takes 25 to 30 days for the Lighthouse Jellyfish to reach sexual maturity at 20 degrees Celsius, after which it can revert to the polyp stage and infinitely repeat this process.
Theoretically, this cycle can continue indefinitely, aning Lighthouse Jellyfish could live forever without facing death.
So studies suggest that the secret to the Lighthouse Jellyfish’s immortality lies in the differentiation process of its stem cells.
And now, these creatures in the Drowning River, shimring with an eerie blue light, bore an astonishing resemblance to the Lighthouse Jellyfish.
Except, these jellyfish-like creatures in the Drowning River were many tis more powerful.
“Could these creatures actually be Lighthouse Jellyfish?
Or is this what the ultimate evolution of the Lighthouse Jellyfish looks like?” Lv Zhong frowned and pondered.
On Earth, there erged a super badass creature—the Water Bear.
And here, in the Primordial Dragon Tomb, Lv Zhong had encountered the Water Bear’s counterpart in form, the Undying Worm.
The Undying Worm is the ultimate evolved state of the Water Bear.
Could it be possible to once again ta the Undying Worm, just like the mythological tales?
“It turns out our Earth was ho to so many terrifying descendants of alien insects…” Using his “sensing power,” Lv Zhong carefully probed the creatures resembling the Lighthouse Jellyfish in the distance, finding them extrely similar in shape and even internal structure to Earth’s Lighthouse Jellyfish.
However, these Drowning River creatures were several tis larger in size and had strength far beyond that of Earth’s Lighthouse Jellyfish.
They could also live effortlessly in the Drowning River with extre levels of corrosion.
If Earth’s Lighthouse Jellyfish were thrown into the Drowning River, they’d probably be so corroded that nothing would remain.
However, these creatures were born in the Drowning River and naturally possessed strong resistance to the mysterious energy that exhausted Yuanshen and Immortal Sense, suggesting that employing Plague God Lv Yue’s soul-binding secret technique to subjugate them would be highly challenging.
Not only was the likelihood of success slim, but there was also the risk of a backlash, which could be disastrously counterproductive.
As Lv Zhong pondered deeply, he was unaware that several people from the other teams were losing their patience to wait any longer.
“A re few thousand zhang of river width, I refuse to believe I can’t fly over this River of Drowning…” As these words were spoken, an ordinary Golden Immortal forcefully circulated immortal power, soaring through the wind, and rapidly flew towards the opposite bank of the river, dodging the black fog rising from the river’s surface now and then.
Others, suppressing the impulse in their hearts, saw that after this person had flown one-third of the distance with no issues and their confidence surged.
Many of them took to the sky.
Those with weaker strength, unable to use more energy, flew directly, while those stronger and with spare energy rode their magical treasures at high speeds, preparing to rush across the Drowning River as quickly as possible.
The only ones who did not move were Lv Zhong’s team and another team that had drawn the Purple Disastrous Blessing Card.
The mbers of Lv Zhong’s team didn’t act because Lv Zhong had repeatedly proven himself with his strength and insight, convincing everyone in the team that he was a reliable leader.
Now, they looked to Lv Zhong for guidance almost exclusively.
The other team didn’t act not because they were cautious but because they were secretly plotting against Lv Zhong and his team, looking for an opportunity to take them out.
Their aim was to eliminate a potential competitor and even seize the destiny of Lv Zhong’s team.
As the other two teams took to the air and attempted to cross the Drowning River,
The Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds hesitated to speak but then glanced at Lv Zhong.
Although still deep in thought, Lv Zhong could easily multitask and even turned to look at the Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds with a smile, saying, “No need to rush; crossing this River of Drowning is not as easy as it seems!”
Lv Zhong had experience in the space known as [Atlantis], and he was aware of the terror of the Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water.
What was even more terrifying was that they were currently on Dragon Island, within a gravity field 5 billion tis stronger than normal.
The higher one flew, the more imnse the suppression from the gravity field beca.
It wouldn’t be just 5 billion tis gravity then—perhaps it would reach 100 billion tis or even several hundred billion tis.
Moreover, even in the air, there was no certainty of being safe from falling!
Indeed, as soon as Lv Zhong finished speaking, sothing drastic happened in the distant sky!
Mysterious and dense gloomy air masses appeared out of nowhere beside many of the people.
These air masses were precisely the ones that the Black Moths had deliberately dived into.
However, while these air masses seed to nourish the Black Moths, they were like bone-scraping steel knives to others.
“Ah…”
“No…, so…
so cold…”
“My god, I…
I need to go back…”
“There’s…
there are strange insects…
Ah…”
…
Countless voices of fear and despair rose, but in less than a second, they fell silent again.
At that mont, the mbers of Lv Zhong’s team, as well as the team who had the Purple Disastrous Blessing Card, were shocked to see that nurous people were instantaneously frozen into ice sculptures!
But before these ice people could crash down, a cloud of thumb-sized black moths flew in from afar, crazily heading for the “ice people” falling towards the Drowning River.
“Sizzling…”
“Crackling…”
…
A weird sound, like the grinding of teeth, reached the onlookers, who were horrified to find that the swarm of black moths didn’t just bite off the extre cold engulfing the frozen people and eat it; they even devoured the people within the ice in an instant, leaving not a trace of bone behind.
“Damn, there are moths like this?” The Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds couldn’t help but shrink its neck, looking grave.
“Right, since when can moths ‘bite’?
Do they have teeth?”
“Why can’t moths have teeth?”
“Haha, luckily, my will is unparalleled and firm; I didn’t fly along with them.
Otherwise, I would probably have t the sa fate…”
“Exactly, with Taoist Lv here, our danger is practically reduced by eighty percent.”
…
Rather than the ease and understanding of the people with Lv Zhong, another team intent on wiping out Lv Zhong and his companions gaped at the tomb in the distance.
Countless black moths, like locusts passing through the region, darkened the sky and crazily chased after the yin energy above the Drowning River.
It seed that this strong yin energy was trendously beneficial for them.
“Damn, could there be such terrifying things above this Drowning River?
My God, thankfully, we didn’t follow them…” The people of the other team discussed in shock, recovering from their daze.
“Destiny!
True destiny reaching the heavens.
Haha, our team has the destiny of Against the Heavens, we will definitely cross this River of Drowning safely and enter the ultimate Beginning of the Dragon Tomb Monunt…”
“Indeed, if it weren’t for the destiny of Against the Heavens, we could have fallen just now…”
“Haha, in this case, we must wipe out that team nearby, seize their destiny, and then our team’s destiny will be even stronger…”
“Right, wipe them out, snatch their destiny, we will definitely beco one of the nine teams to erge gloriously alive…”
…
Witnessing the horrific carnage on the River of Drowning, the other team was even more determined to eradicate Lv Zhong and his companions.
However, they didn’t know that by provoking Lv Zhong, their invincible good luck would turn into true invincible bad luck, with more misfortune than fortune.
Sensing their conversation and seeing they were already taking action, rushing forward wielding their weapons and magical treasures crazily towards his team, Lv Zhong, who was agitated for not figuring out how to subdue the mysterious jellyfish in the Drowning River, sneered in his heart, his eyes suddenly surging with astounding killing intent.
Obviously, those people had run into a real gunpoint!
Mu Cangqiong, who had been eyeing Lv Zhong, also sensed the intense killing intent in Lv Zhong’s heart and felt a chill run down his spine.
After exchanging voice transmissions with the Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds and the Domineering Dragon, the twenty-so people behind Lv Zhong also readied themselves for battle.
They looked at the opposing sixty or so people, each with killing intent blazing in their eyes.
Facing sixty people, even without Lv Zhong there, Mu Cangqiong, the Domineering Dragon, the Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds, and others wouldn’t be afraid.
This was the huge benefit of being under Lv Zhong’s protection on their first day entering Dragon Island and forming an array to adaptively recover through cultivation.
Now, just with these twenty or so people, they had the confidence to defeat the sixty opponents.
“Hehe, interesting, it’s really ‘The gates of heaven were open but you did not enter; there was no door to hell yet you forced your way in.'” Discovering that others saw him as an easy target they wanted to devour, Lv Zhong suddenly sneered.
With a thought, the Insect Clan Crown materialized.
Then, the enormous power of faith, combined with the rit Golden Light released by the 6th Grade Golden Lotus, shielded Mu Cangqiong, the Domineering Dragon, the Demonic Bull of the Netherworlds, and others, while Lv Zhong directly unleashed devastating bad luck toward the assailants charging at them.
The intangible and insubstantial i Yun Law spread over thousands of kiloters instantly, affecting nearly all living creatures in the vicinity.
Having subdued the suprely powerful Misfortune Insect clan and gaining the acknowledgnt of the Misfortune Worm King, Lv Zhong naturally mastered the ruthless thods of the Misfortune Insects to devour others’ destiny for his own through the Insect Clan Crown.
Firstly, using the bad luck energy to interfere with the opponents’ good fortune, and then in the unseen realm, Lv Zhong directly employed the supre secret technique, maniacally devouring those affected by the bad luck energy.
In just a short ti, the good luck of nearly fifty people was drained by Lv Zhong.
And the remaining dozen or so people were also suffering a severe depletion of their fortune.
Now they no longer enjoyed the shine of lucky stars; instead, disaster lood over their heads.
In such a perilous place, lacking strong good fortune and with bad luck overhead, it was hard for them not to fall.
“Since you want our lives, then, we have no choice but to send you on your way.” A trace of icy coldness flashed in Lv Zhong’s eyes, and with a thought, a deluge of [Divine-devouring Immortal-drowning Water] swept towards the sixty-so people charging towards them like a torrential downpour.
