Chapter 332: Boiling Water on Ants
Li Jiufeng, who transformed into a black dragon, looked towards the bustling Fengxian City. Horrible fish monsters kept jumping out and were strangled by the stars. As an expert in killing evil spirits and demons, the moment the people were polluted and turned into fish monsters, they were removed from their protection list.
As for the enemy, the only way is to stop killing with killing and to call for blood with blood. There is no logic in it, even if that person was the lover in your arms, the kind and amiable elder, or the naughty child in the last second.
There is no mercy, no hesitation. The emotional entanglement of a monster that turns into a fish but is struggling with whether to be a human is meaningless under the steel knife of the stars. The confusion of principles and morals caused by being transformed into an alien but holding a human heart will not appear in this world.
When they are polluted by the immortals and gods, their consciousness sinks, their sanity collapses, and they fall into madness, they no longer exist in the world as human beings, which also represents the abandonment of their fundamental definition of human beings. Xingdou will only say that a weird thing is a weird thing, it is a weird thing for one day and a weird thing for a lifetime, and then, with a knife, either Xingdou will die or the weird thing will die.
Li Jiufeng frowned, he knew that the wisp of aura not only spread throughout Fengxian Capital, but would also flow to all parts of heaven and earth as time went by. If it weren't for the Yize formation covering it up, when Lord Lanyuan revealed his true form, there wouldn't be a single human being left among the ordinary people in the entire capital of Fengxian.
He flapped the nine pairs of wings behind him and rushed towards Lanyuan Tianjun. The black dragon hovered above the huge piece of meat, constantly gnawing at the flesh and blood.
Li Jiufeng merged with the Phoenix Queen by relying on the trace of devil in his body. If he faced an existence like Lanyuan Tianjun, ordinary fighting would only cause the situation to fall into chaos. Only by forcibly devouring it, fighting for life and death, and stimulating the power of the devil in his body, can he win a quick victory.
This is equivalent to him skipping the useless temptations, the long fight, and the weakening of the game, and directly pushing the battle to the final step, entering into a contest between his own immortality and devilishness and the immortality of Lanyuan Tianjun, and this is a confrontation of the original power.
"It's very interesting. The power in your body is very mixed, as if it was forcibly squeezed together, but there is only one extremely pure one. Does it have a name?"
Countless eyeballs grew on the huge piece of meat, accompanied by the sound of mumbling in a dream and the unhurried questioning of Lanyuan Tianjun, as if the body being devoured was not his own.
Of course he didn't care. Compared with the weird immortals, the immortality of the old gods did not rely on believers, but was rooted in the laws of heaven and earth. Believers were just a means of resurrection, but the laws of heaven and earth were immortal, and the old gods would inevitably return. They were countless times stronger than the weird immortals who relied on the orthodox Taoism. In the eyes of the old gods, the weird immortals were just thieves who had plundered the old gods' authority. They did not care about the existence of the entities. Even if the old gods were robbed of their origin, for the old gods, it was just a change of life form to continue their existence.
Lanyuan Tianjun did not intend to spread pollution, but he himself was the biggest source of pollution. All living beings whose life levels were lower than his would inevitably be affected by him. Pollution was not his original intention, but his existence was pollution itself.
"Devilish."
Li Jiufeng devoured the flesh and blood with big mouthfuls, tearing the tentacles with his sharp claws, cutting off the tentacles, and biting the eyeballs, while Lanyuan Tianjun just looked at him quietly.
"Are you protecting those people? Even if it means you are on a path of no return?"
Lanyuan Tianjun looked at the black dragon that was gradually growing blood pupils and tentacles. Although Li Jiufeng had the protection of demonic power, after devouring the flesh and blood of the old gods, it was inevitably contaminated. The complexity of the source of power was destined to be dangerous. Once it could not be controlled, there would be a more terrifying aggregation of weirdness in the world.
'This is my duty as the Emperor of Man, and it is also proof that I am a human being.'
Li Jiufeng did not answer, but silently said in his heart that he had not had many happy times in his life, nor had he seen the height of the sky or the breadth of the sea. When he opened his eyes, he was faced with the erosion of the Phoenix Queen and inherited the mission of the Chong Emperor, and this was the meaning of his existence. He was not even sure whether what he did was right, but looking back on his life, he had been tied to a corner of the palace for a long time, and the boring cage life. Surviving as a human being and inheriting the belief of successive Chong Emperors was the only thing left for Li Jiufeng, and this had become his human anchor point for not going crazy when he was entangled in various original forces. When he no longer identified himself as a human being, the real evil would come to the world.
The huge piece of meat stared at Li Jiufeng with great interest, countless eyeballs turning and tentacles wriggling, and suddenly, a hint of emotional change appeared in those eyeballs.
Li Jiufeng's heart sank when he observed this scene. As different from humans and the old gods who ascended to become strange immortals, they do not have what humans call empathy. Just as an ant cannot understand the thoughts of a passing two-legged beast, the old gods cannot understand human emotions, and the reactions revealed outwardly are just a disguise. Similarly, humans cannot understand the thinking of the old gods, and all thoughts are fallacies. This difference and impact in root cognition is the fundamental cause of madness.
"In that case, why don't you let me see how far you can go."
Lan Yuan Tianjun's unhurried voice sounded, mixed with a hint of curiosity, like a child excitedly carrying hot water to an ant nest.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lanyuan Tianjun's body began to expand continuously, squeezing away the black dragon hovering over him. Countless pieces of flesh and blood rolled, spread, and distorted, as if to cover the entire sky.
Yize, who was maintaining the formation with the ancestors, had a different expression on his face. His cracked face showed a trace of anxiety: "Stop him, he wants to release his own source of pollution, no, he wants to self-destruct!"
The triangular seal in his hand lit up white light, and one figure after another threw himself into the triangular seal, amplifying its power. The formation started to operate, pressing towards Lanyuan Tianjun.
Li Jiufeng remained silent, driving the dragon body to climb towards the increasingly large piece of meat, using countless spells, but unfortunately, he was still one step too late.
The piece of flesh that had expanded to the critical point trembled violently, and began to shrink towards the central node. As its size shrank exponentially, Lanyuan Tianjun's body and original power were compressed to a tiny point. Then, that point collapsed, bringing about an explosion of unparalleled power.
The torrent brought by the explosion destroyed the great formation that covered the sky and the earth. Countless figures carrying porcelain fragments of their bodies were blown away by the hurricane and continued to dissipate. Even Li Jiufeng's black dragon body was blown into two pieces.
But this was not the worst. Countless mumblings and pollution hit the sky and earth with the explosion and spread to every corner of the world.
As a result, countless people were polluted, alienated, and deformed. They were no longer confined to half-human, half-fish, but turned into various forms of strange creatures.
Before disappearing, Lanyuan Tianjun looked at Li Jiufeng quietly, not caring about his own destruction, as if he was a child who got a new toy. His natural curiosity and ignorance carried a soul-stirring malice. He didn't care about the impact he brought to himself, just like watching ants running in boiling water, feeling a little happy in his heart. All he had to do was to see what consequences the hot water he poured on him had produced when he woke up again after a long sleep.
A huge explosion affected tens of thousands of people and left endless harm. It was the beginning of the most serious large-scale casualties since the founding of Da Chong.
