Chapter 336: All 336 - s, Mouse Tail Juice, Peerless Grand Tomb
"This..."
Seeing these towering figures, the middle-aged man’s face twitched a few times, and his expression grew serious.
"Capture, capture."
"Capture, capture."
These gigantic puppets, chanting a singular slogan, moved to attack the middle-aged man.
"Hmph, just a bunch of puppets, and you think you can overthrow the heavens? Today, I will destroy you all!"
The middle-aged man’s hair flew wildly, then he stomped his right foot fiercely on the ground and roared towards the sky, "True Form of the Heavenly God!!"
Rumble!
Instantly, lightning and thunder filled the sky, and his towering body rapidly grew taller.
Not just an illusion, but a material reality.
And as his body grew, his clothes shattered quickly, turning into countless fragments in the sky! However, at the moment the Holy Light appeared, a surge of energy flowed from his body, transforming into an energy garment to prevent any secrets from being exposed.
In the span of a few breaths, he transformed into a giant thousands of feet tall, with the whole city appearing like a small fence in front of him.
"I am the heavens, I am the god!"
He spread his arms to embrace the world, and the eight heavenly illusions also expanded to a terrifying degree, revolving around him with booming sounds, as if any one of them could descend and destroy the world.
"Capture, capture."
The gigantic puppets also chanted, then their bodies trembled violently, as if in a seizure, and finally, they too rapidly grew taller, becoming the same size as the middle-aged man.
Even their aura was not weakened in the slightest!
"Not good!"
The middle-aged man, who was just full of spirit, suddenly had his pupils constrict, and with no regard for his dignity, he suddenly soared into the air, attempting to flee.
"Capture, capture."
"Clang clang clang!"
Giant golden chains extended from the hands of these gigantic puppets, quickly reaching towards the sky.
"No—"
The middle-aged man screamed, his body radiating immeasurable divine light, transforming into a massive sun, its golden brilliance dazzling to the point that one could hardly keep their eyes open.
Divine majesty immeasurable!
A terrifying shockwave spread from the distant sky in layers, seemingly about to overturn the entire Dusk Ancient City!
In the sky, those chains had already entwined the sun, and from up close, they were thick braided chains, but as they extended outward, they seemed to become smaller and smaller, finally turning into black needles piercing into the radiant sun.
"Bang bang bang!"
The chains were drawn taut, and silver runes flickered on them, with some runes even detaching and flying towards the sun like a swarm of silver tadpoles.
Runes without end, numbering at least several billion!
"Ah!!"
A shrill scream emanated from within the sun, then the light quickly dimmed, revealing the immense middle-aged man.
Moreover, his body continued to shrink rapidly, as if his power was being devoured, becoming increasingly feeble.
"Captured, captured."
The enormous puppets chanted this slogan as well, their bodies returning to normal size, pulling the middle-aged man down like reeling in a net.
"Thud!"
Soon, the middle-aged man landed on the ground, his entire body bound like a cocoon in chains, his face a livid blue, and he lay on his side, speechless.
Victory and defeat, there is nothing more to say!
"Why bother?"
Shaking his head in regret, Qin Chuan said, "I just wanted to personally deal with these two little thieves. Was there any need to get so agitated?"
"Hmph!"
The middle-aged man, though defeated, refused to concede the stage. Even as he lay like a squirming larva, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"Let those two down."
Qin Chuan instructed the nearby Winged Puppets.
"Yes."
Several Winged Puppets hobbled over, extinguished the fire burning their Primordial Spirits, and let Zhou Mo and Master Pang Qi down.
"No, no!"
"Spare us, my lord, we won’t dare again! Please put us out of our misery!"
Upon being released, Zhou Mo and Master Pang Qi fell to their knees, pleading tearfully and fearfully.
Their demeanor was as if they had just escaped the wolf only to fall into the tiger’s den, seemingly facing even more terrifying torture.
Such acting was truly outstanding.
"If you’d known this, why start at all?"
Qin Chuan sneered, "You dared to intrude into the Ancestral King’s Tomb, and I should extract your Primordial Spirits, make them into wicks, and torture you for a hundred thousand years!"
"Spare us, spare us!"
The two kowtowed and pleaded, but with a wave of his hand, Qin Chuan took them into his inner world.
Then, looking at the middle-aged man lying on the ground, Qin Chuan said, "In light of your dedication, I won’t hold your insubordination against you this time. Instead, you shall be imprisoned for ten years to reflect on your actions."
"You..."
The middle-aged man looked up in surprise, completely unprepared for Qin Chuan’s leniency. Such mercy was unimaginable!
He had lived for millions of years; ten years was nothing. A casual retreat lasted longer than that.
"Rat’s tail juice, reflect well."
Qin Chuan stated calmly, then walked away with his hands behind his back, taking Qin Zi and Ye Lingshuang with him.
"Rat’s tail juice?"
The middle-aged man gazed at Qin Chuan’s departing back, a look of bewilderment on his face.
"Rat’s tail juice, sir says he wants to feed him rat’s tail juice for ten years."
A nearby Winged Puppet said.
"Yes, we must catch rats and squeeze juice."
The other Winged Puppets nodded, then quickly dispersed to various parts of the city to catch rats.
It was unclear whether their thought processes were too simple or they simply wanted revenge.
After all, they had been mercilessly beaten by the middle-aged man, leaving them in a pitiful state.
Much later.
Qin Chuan took Qin Zi and Ye Lingshuang out of Dusk Ancient City and walked a long distance before releasing Zhou Mo and Master Pang Qi.
"Uncle Qin!"
"Master Qin!"
Seeing Qin Chuan, the two threw themselves at him, sobbing and clasping his legs, gratitude beyond words.
"What happened with you two?"
Qin Chuan asked calmly.
The two exchanged glances, then Zhou Mo spoke, "Uncle Qin, Master Pang Qi and I came to raid a tomb. Our instincts told us there was a peerless tomb here, and if we could successfully raid it, we’d be set for life!"
"Initially, using our skills, we found the entrance to this peerless tomb above the sunset and were just about to enter."
"However, upon opening the tomb door, we triggered a terrifying white light. The light shot up to the Celestial Vault, illuminating this world, and then... we were discovered."
"The powerhouses of this world couldn’t enter the sunset, but the islands above Dusk Ancient City were strangely evil, erupting with Divine Punishment Power that pierced the sunset and knocked us down."
"We fled for our lives in this Twilight World for two months, but were eventually caught... and then roasted alive."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan quickly pondered.
The white pillar of light!
Could it be the same light that heralded the revival of the Nine Heavens Realm? Because that pillar indeed erupted from the Forbidden Divine Mountain.
However, the timeline doesn’t match.
The world’s revival had been ongoing for over two years, while Zhou Mo and Master Pang Qi had only been in this world for about two months.
