949 A Cold Night with Raining Blood (1/2)
In the darkness outside of the city, there was an earth-shattering roar that grew louder. From the darkness, a large monster appeared.
The people in the city got nervous, as the monster looked like one that belonged in their nightmares, for it was the ugliest and most ferocious thing imaginable. It looked like a man with tentacles all over him, a man with eyes all over him, a flower made out of blood and flesh, and a combination of plants and humans. It was very weird looking.
Behind it came ancient gods whose bodies were humanoid and whose heads were those of beasts, like cows and birds. Following them were large evil dragons, multi-headed snakes, and giants with large tummies.
Some looked like peculiar engineered creatures. These giants' arms were made out of sharp drills, while sharp blades protruded out of their bodies. They were walking siege engines.
Toot toot.
A ship made out of flesh and blood spewed out dense smoke. It had long arms and countless legs growing out of its side and bottom, respectively. It even had plenty of men with only half a body growing out of it on its deck. It beat its drums and gongs while playing its flutes and singing.
The boat of flesh and blood danced amidst the music as its front opened its bloody mouth, which was filled with steel knives that acted like teeth. It happily walked towards this city of the masters of creation.
The moon appeared in the sky and showered the land with moonlight.
Peculiar laughter was heard from the skies, and Qin Mu raised his head. He saw a human face on the moon, which was giving off peculiar laughter.
Additionally, the moon had arms growing out of it. It retrieved a flute, which was made from the bones of masters of creation, and played a cheerful tune with it!
Qin Mu stopped looking at it. The night of the Great Void was like a strange dream that weirded people out with ridiculous phenomena.
Whoosh.
A giant creature descended from the heavens onto the city buildings. It was a large bird with humanoid faces on it and wings that were made out of bones. It crushed half of the buildings upon its landing.
The large bird's faces looked at the people in the city excitedly and laughed in a funny manner.
The bones making up the large bird's wings were hollow, and all of a sudden, they spewed out air and flames that filled the air with an ear-piercing whoosh. The airflow and flames lifted the bird, and it flew into the sky!
The nightmarish creatures outside the city began to run loudly towards the whooshing sound!
”Oh my god…”
A female true god was trembling as she stared at the sight, asking, ”What exactly is this world?”
It was a world created by the Great Void's masters of creation.
A world made out of consciousness that the masters of creation visualized via said consciousness. They created everything here, including civilization. However, due to invasion by an external enemy, one of the worlds was wrecked, which caused the devils in people's hearts to breed naturally in the Great Void.
Although the Great Void was perfectly preserved, there was no Youdu here and hence no place for the dead to go, which led to another consequence.
When there was no place for the dead to go, they could only linger in the Great Void, causing them to fuse with the consciousness of the masters of creation, giving birth to a new, unique lifeform.
The dead who formed these monsters in the Great Void consisted of not only dead masters of creation but dead gods and devils of the celestial heavens.
Boom!
Another violent tremor came as the Great Void monsters smashed against the wall. The seemingly indestructible city walls of the masters of creation's city violently shook, and cracks began to emerge on the walls.
However, the city was made out of the masters of creation's consciousness, which allowed it to repair itself quickly, relieving the worries of the people inside.
Boom!
Another impact sound came, and the solemn yet grand impact sounds came again and again. The reflective city walls couldn't repair in time, and suddenly, the southern gate collapsed, and the Great Void monsters flooded into the city!
”Prepare to face the enemy!” someone shouted.
At this moment, the northern gate also collapsed, followed by the eastern and western gates. The monsters ran amok in the city, crushing everything that they walked by.
The invasion of thousands of Great Void monsters had the people on the high ground worried.
On a sentry tower, a lady screamed and soared into the air in an attempt to flee the nightmarish city.
When she flew, however, the moon with a human face screeched, and a bird whose face was made out of a human skull rushed towards her.
Countless weird birds flew from the moon and covered the sky in darkness. The color of the moon also became peculiar, becoming blood-red, as if it was a bleeding face.
The tune that the moon was playing became unusually fast and cheerful and even a little bit naughty.
The tune reached the monsters' ears and got them extremely excited.
Soon, the lady who flew into the air was torn to shreds by the birds. Blood began to drizzle from the skies before it poured.
The moon bled and caused a rain of blood. The sky was like a painting dyed by fresh blood, and blood covered the skies and the ground.
The weird bird came down from the skies, and the crowded group of monsters came to the position of Qin Mu and the others to flood them.
At that moment, grudges were left behind, as was the order to kill Celestial Venerable Mu. They had only one thought at that moment—survive.
Qin Mu immediately utilized the Gate of Heaven Influence. However, he was left stunned because it couldn't be opened.
These devils clearly came from the souls of those who died in the Great Void. Thus, the most effective magic power and divine arts to use against them were those that targeted spirits. However, Youdu and the Great Void existed in different space and time, which made the Gate of Heaven Influence impossible to open.
'If I could open the Gate of Heaven Influence, I could kill everyone and get out easily. What a pity that I can't.'
He utilized his Youdu divine art, merging his vital qi and consciousness to visualize a white banner that he swung towards a monster resembling an ancient god that was rushing him.
'I'm not my brother. Nevertheless, there are less than five Youdu divine arts that are better than mine!'
The soul in that monster flew out and landed in the white banner. The banner, which was originally empty, now had a man inside.
That man was muddle-headed and had a twisted face, and he struggled to fly out of the banner. The banner was very thin, for it was made out of vital qi and consciousness, but it seemed like it hid a lot of space within.
