Chapter 477 - 63: Lower Old One! Weak Divine Power
"No wonder they say the Path of Death suppresses reality."
Around Shawn, at least a dozen figures of Witch Demons appeared, some seemingly just awakened from their slumbering tombs, dust covering their skeletal structures. These Witch Demons generally don’t worry about dying in battle, even if they perish they can revive through the phylactery within the tomb. A competent Witch Demon would have prepared at least a dozen skeletal structures for resurrection. Of course, as Transcendents convert into Witch Demons over time, their humanity gradually wanes, resulting in an increasingly indifferent attitude towards mortals.
Compared to other uncontrolled Transcendents, mad Witch Demons are actually relatively rare, as undead willpower is immune to most negative emotions.
On the battlefield, after thousands of Undead Wizards had scoured the area, the Demon Legion of Abyss City began their direct assault, while from the tombs activated under the Soul Summoning Tower, numerous flesh puppets, skeleton golems, and mummy guards launched a frontal attack to clear the battlefield.
Of the Twelve Mythical Paths, the strongest are the Path of Death and the Path of Nature; one breaches the boundary of life and death, and the other offers prolonged lifespan, amassing vast wealth over nearly a millennium.
Not far away, the Great Druids of the Path of Nature hardly had a chance to act, as two Lords of the Sky symbolically cast a 9th-circle Tornado Skill.
The coalition of three major forces marched triumphantly, advancing over a hundred kilometers in half a day, reaching a Blood Swamp Zone, where hardly any normal humanoid creatures could be seen, because it was the land of Evil Objects. Countless blood-red mud coagulated into forms, it was the pus oozing from the Ancient past, condensing into thousands of half-elementalized monsters.
——Rotting Mud Monsters, Polluting Elements, Corrupt Blood, Unclean Offspring, etc.
Tens of thousands of corrupted creatures distorted by Ancient Law emerged, resembling writhing flesh that looked like a puddle of rotten mud, coagulated red blood forming jelly-like fluids, unclean offspring that procreated by defiling their bloodline with unspeakable creations, and hateful Evil Objects condensed from pus and blood oozing from the Ancient past. Over time, the Ancient Race would gradually be assimilated by the Law, and after surviving for several years, they would become increasingly unlike humanoid creatures, their life forms becoming closer to the unspeakable Ancient ways.
Due to the removal of the reproductive isolation in the Bizarre Realm, the Ancient Race must procreate further with unspeakable Evil Objects to advance, thus giving birth to these bizarre unclean progenies.
In the earthly Divine Kingdom of the Ancient past, they nearly held the status akin to Divine Attendants of the Otherworld Gods.
Shawn suddenly sensed something, instantly became alert and looked up, his mind waves spreading in all directions: "Beware! It’s the hatred of the world!"
The next second.
In the Blood Swamp, towering waves surged, countless toxic crimson liquids gathered into torrents, rising dozens of meters high, spreading out like a tsunami.
——Tsunami Technique (enhanced) [Legendary Spell]!
The water stream throughout the Blood Swamp Zone was drained, even nearby polluted river channels surged with waves, and the toxic corrupt water instantly flooded the land.
Blood rain poured heavily.
As the world’s hatred awakened, a foul wind and blood rain gale swept through the sky, the sunlight gradually dimmed, the Domain Law governing the weather shrouded the battlefield, a dim reddish sun slowly appeared.
Worldly hatreds once mastered parts of Law Origin, some were mad Elemental Princes, some corrupted Nature Spirits, others were prematurely born Divine Abominations, yet others were unclean Divine Sons born from desecrated Divine Spirit remnants of the Ancient past.
Before the Dark Era, the Ancient had already injected their embryos into the corpse of the Mother of Stone, using its womb to incubate Ancient Evils and Divine Abominations, these progenies filled with hatred yet unborn, most were killed, the current active one being the Orphan of Mist Island.
——Swamp Spirit [Hateful Earth Spirit] [Evil Object] [Elemental Demigod] (Challenge Level 30+)?!
Earth Spirits are extremely special existences.
They are similar to Eastern land and mountain gods, legendary sprites born from heaven and earth’s nature, possessing divinity from birth, with potential divine investiture through faith. In the Ancient Era, a substantial portion of divine spirits born from Shaman Totem’s myriad spirits worship were such manifestations.
Innumerable sludge of blood gathered mid-air, revealing a colossal entity akin to a blood-red swamp giant, its mind deranged and filled with hatred, unleashing a tsunami upon arrival, its body rife with distorted elemental law, endlessly clashing between water and earth’s Domain Laws, resembling a boiling melting furnace with bubbles constantly emerging from its skin, its flowing pus transforming the ground into a Poison Domain, a dark green miasma spreading arbitrarily.
"Alert! Alert!"
"Detected Water Elemental Domain!... Detected Earth Elemental Domain!... Detected Poison Domain!... Detected Flesh Domain!... Detected Corruption Domain!..."
"Target possessing [Swamp] aligned divine position!..."
The coalition of three forces had just advanced into the heart of the Poison Gas Swamp when they encountered this tough menace. The hateful Earth Spirit, originally belonging to the Natural Pantheon, was now completely dominated by the Ancient, as it raised its hands and struck down heavily, a 9th-circle Earthquake Skill instantaneously affecting a radius of several kilometers.
