Chapter 973: Clear Them Out
Roar—!!
Cries of undead beasts echoed from every direction, surging like waves.
Lin Qiye and Wang Mian, heading toward the gate of Takamagahara, suddenly changed expression. They looked up at the second red moon. The faint golden aura surrounding them trembled.
That red moon was releasing extreme, terrifying corruption. Even the dispersion power of 【God's Wrath】 was struggling to hold.
"What exactly is that thing?" Wang Mian frowned.
"No idea." Lin Qiye's gaze swept across the surroundings. Countless undead beasts were rapidly closing in. "But we'd better get out of here first."
All the massive waves of undead beasts that had descended into the "Human Enclosure" had fled from within Takamagahara. In this god-corpse-filled Takamagahara, the number of undead beasts had accumulated to a terrifying figure. Though Wu Xiangnan had successfully slain Susanoo, the endless undead beasts within Takamagahara still existed.
Now, with the eruption of the second red moon, all these undead beasts had gone mad, rushing toward them at breakneck speed.
But this was not what Lin Qiye was most worried about.
With Wang Mian, this Human Apex who controlled time, they could fight their way out and leave Takamagahara without much difficulty... What he was worried about was something else.
Lin Qiye's gaze fell upon the shattered earth behind him. A massive black silhouette was slowly crawling out from Susanoo's corpse. Those crimson eyes stared fixedly at the direction Lin Qiye and Wang Mian were fleeing. The divine pressure of a god realm surged outward from its center!
Another complete Corpse God!
From the moment Susanoo died to the eruption of the second red moon, only a few seconds had passed. The massive residual divine power in Susanoo's corpse had been inherited by the undead beast that was birthed from it, creating yet another Corpse God.
Through the暴动的红月 corruption around them, Lin Qiye could sense that the second red moon in the sky seemed... furious.
Because they killed Susanoo?
What was its relationship with Susanoo?
Lin Qiye had no time to ponder. He pushed his speed to the absolute limit, fleeing toward the gate with Wang Mian.
He could no longer use 【God's Wrath】, nor did he have any forbidden spell formations available. Adding a severely wounded Wang Mian, there was no way they could defeat this Corpse God. Besides, he had a vague feeling that the inexplicably hanging second red moon in the sky was the true source of this catastrophe.
"We're surrounded."
Lin Qiye's spiritual sense swept the area, revealing the positions of the surrounding undead beasts. He stared at the hundreds of "无量" and "Klein" realm undead beasts blocking the gate, his expression grave.
Just this one area had spawned so many undead beasts. How many more were there throughout all of Takamagahara?
At this moment, Lin Qiye suddenly understood what Merlin had meant by "The catastrophe hasn't disappeared; it merely exists in another form"...
Under the layout of the elderly Wang Mian, the Godslayer Catastrophe that should have erupted fifty years ago had been resolved. But fifty-plus years later, the thousands of undead beasts within Takamagahara had gathered into yet another terrifying catastrophe.
Compared to such an enormous quantity of "无量" and "Klein" realm undead beasts, the wave of "mysteries" that appeared at Sunken Dragon Pass seemed endearingly weak in comparison.
"Can we fight our way out?" Lin Qiye turned to look at Wang Mian beside him.
On Wang Mian's pale face, there was no trace of color. His right hand rested on the hilt of his blade. He shook his head heavily.
"Can't say... My spiritual power is nearly exhausted. I can no longer manipulate time on a large scale."
Lin Qiye's brow furrowed slightly as his mind raced at incredible speed.
Beep beep beep—!
Just then, a crisp horn sounded from the distance.
Lin Qiye and Wang Mian, mid-sprint, froze simultaneously and looked toward the source of the sound. Through the boundless sea of undead beasts, a yellow electric scooter, headlights blazing, was driving straight toward them!
On the vehicle, Lu Wuwei wore a helmet, a small yellow rubber duck perched on his forehead, grip handles twisted to the max. No matter how the surrounding undead beasts attacked or roared, he wasn't budged in the slightest—he was as steady as Mount Tai.
With an expressionless face, Lu Wuwei flicked out several pizza boxes, blasting those undead beasts into fragments. Through the blood rain filling the sky, he slowly rode up to the two of them.
"Mr. Lu?"
"Lu Wuwei?"
Both men saw the familiar figure and froze in place.
Click!
Lu Wuwei lifted the visor of his helmet and honked twice, swiveling his head coolly.
"Get on."
"..." Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Lu, can your vehicle really break through?"
"Yes."
"But electric scooters are limited to two passengers, and we have three." Wang Mian couldn't help but remind him.
"You don't need to be so law-abiding in Takamagahara. No traffic police will stop us." Lu Wuwei shrugged, his expression unchanged. "Get on."
Lin Qiye and Wang Mian exchanged glances. With the surrounding undead beasts closing in relentlessly, they gritted their teeth and squeezed onto the vehicle.
Beep beep beep!
The scooter's horn sounded again. The tiny electric vehicle carrying three people chugged leisurely toward the gate.
Once the vehicle started moving, Lin Qiye realized something was wrong.
This speed was not even half as fast as his 【Somersault Cloud】!
At this speed, they'd inevitably be caught up by the undead beasts and engulfed!
"Mr. Lu, why don't you ride on my 【Somersault Cloud】 instead?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but offer, preparing to summon the cloud qi immediately.
"Don't move." Lu Wuwei said seriously. "Staying in this vehicle is the safest. Otherwise, you'd be caught in the crossfire..."
"Crossfire?"
Lin Qiye was stunned. "Caught in what crossfire?"
Before Lin Qiye even finished speaking, the Induction Gate that had already been slashed open ahead suddenly erupted with violent flames, blindingly bright like a second sun. Then it exploded with a thunderous roar!
BOOM—!!
An earth-shaking explosion echoed across the heavens. A terrifying wave of divine power poured forth from the direction of the Induction Gate. Meteor-like streams of fire burst outward, streaking across the sky and crashing down across Takamagahara.
Lin Qiye and Wang Mian sat on the electric scooter. Countless streams of fire whistled past the sides of the vehicle. The scorching heat nearly melted their bodies.
After a long while, they realized—inexplicably, these streams of fire seemed to be deliberately avoiding the electric scooter.
"What is that?" Wang Mian's brow creased tightly. "Has another foreign god appeared?"
"No."
Lu Wuwei said calmly. "They... are not foreign gods."
Amid rumbling thunder, the Induction Gate of Takamagahara collapsed. Endless flames swept across everything. Three figures in different robes floated in the air, walking slowly and unhurriedly through the gate.
"The Heavenly Lord was right—Takamagahara would eventually reveal itself to the mortal world..." One of them, wearing a blue Taoist robe and holding a precious sword, spoke leisurely. "Since that is the case, the thorn that has hung over Great Xia's head for decades should finally be removed."
"...Clear them out."
