Chapter 753: The Song of Reincarnation
“The dog’s so powerful!”
“His pants, the way he walked straight into the light of destruction, his invincible paw strike—all these makes him peerless!”
“What’s happening? How can a gong farmer and a bald dog be so powerful?”
“The most capable ones were hiding in plain sight!”
“They must be the powerful existence behind the seventh dimension! That would explain why the seventh dimension is so weird and how they have no fear of the Eldritchs at all!”
“The heroes have come from the seventh dimension! We’re saved from the catastrophe!”
The entire fourth dimension was in an uproar. A whole mixed bag of feelings was coursing through their hearts.
Qin Manyun heard the comments from the crowd and looked at the blood-stained earth with unbearably sad eyes. She shook her head and said, “We aren’t heroes. We’re just people who carry on the will of the dead.”
As for the Eldritchs, they were equally shocked. Their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets and inner turmoil began to rage in their hearts.
“How is it possible for a dog to send Lord Gu Chen flying?!”
“Where did this dog get an ocean’s worth of Origins?!”
“This gong farmer’s also extremely scary. I can sense that the manure fork in his hand is even more powerful than the manure bucket!”
“Hehe, these people are indeed terrible, but there are just a few of them and they absolutely can’t beat us.”
“You’re right. We have the invincible Ancestor Eldritch behind us. Compared to him, they’re just little ants.”
The Eldritchs quickly composed themselves and their sense of superiority reappeared. They eyed Blackie and the others coldly and shouted, “You’ll pay for hurting Lord Gu Chen!”
One of the leaders stepped out calmly, looked at Blackie coldly, and said, “I’m the great guardian of the Eldritchs, Gu Haoyun. I’ll be the one who makes dog meat out of you!”
However, one of the other Eldritchs smiled and said, “Gu Haoyun, calm down. This dog’s extraordinary. No other beast in all of the seven dimensions has as much Origins as him. Don’t you think it’ll be a waste if we make him into dog meat?”
Then, he turned to Blackie, and in a friendly tone, he said, “Brother Dog, my name’s Gu Teng. I’d like to invite you to become Ancestor Eldritch’s mount. In the future, the Eldritchs will rule all of the seven dimensions, making you the number one beast!”
The Heavenly Palace people gasped when they heard that. They did not know whether they should be impressed by his audacity. Blackie, a mount? How dare he! He would not have the guts to say that if he knew the expert! Just how delusional does one have to be to ever think that Blackie would accept his invitation? Gu Teng’s fate had been sealed the moment he uttered those words.
Sure enough, Blackie’s face turned as black as thunder and he roared wildly, “I wouldn’t even let your Ancestor Eldritch lick my butt if he begged me! How dare you humiliate me like this? Die!”
The Wisdom in the entire space seemed to feel his anger and began to rumble like boiling water as it surged forward with Blackie toward the Eldritchs. Then, he lifted his paw and swiped it at Gu Teng. The dog’s paw held an unrivaled power, making the world pale.
“Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance! I guess you’d rather be dog meat than a mount!” Gu Teng sneered indignantly, and instead of retreating, he charged head-on into Blackie’s attack.
Blackie’s phantom paw was at his side in an instant and it was much bigger than his body, containing enough power to destroy the world. Gu Teng raised his hand and cast out a palm strike towards the phantom dog paw.
At the moment when the two strikes collided, Gu Teng’s hand suddenly gave birth to a strange force. It was extremely domineering as it devoured all the power of the phantom dog paw. It was unbelievable! The anger contained in Blackie’s phantom dog paw was enough to make a second-step Wisdom Elite quake in his boots and yet, it was effortlessly devoured by Gu Teng’s attack.
“We Eldritchs have launched countless wars across the seven dimensions and plundered everything we could get our hands on. Devouring anything and everything in our path is our greatest ultimate spell.” Gu Teng smiled coldly and looked at Blackie mockingly. However, he caught a glimpse of something fluttering in the wind, and before he could react, Blackie’s pants had landed squarely on his head!
“It seems like your devouring power is still no match for my strongest ultimate spell!” Blackie’s lips curled up into a mocking smile and he immediately appeared beside Gu Teng. Without missing a beat, he began to pummel Gu Teng with all of his four paws, his punches raining down like a violent rainstorm.
“Ah—!” Gu Teng was furious. He struggled to remove the pants, only to find that the more he struggled, the more the pants tightened their grip on him. It not only blocked his vision but assaulted his nose with a stinky odor that made him dizzy. It was impossible for him to do anything under these circumstances.
“How do you like that?” Blackie became more excited as he fought. He straightened his body and began to treat Gu Teng like a punching bag.
“Ah—! Ah—! The pants are blocking my divine consciousness and trapping me inside!” Gu Teng roared with pain, anger, and horror.
Blackie frowned and said, “Shut up!”
A large wad of fabric was instantly stuffed into Gu Teng’s mouth.
“Mmph!” Gu Teng’s mouth was suddenly filled with a bad taste and he almost retched. He would take a thousand deaths over this torture anytime.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Palace people broke out in smiles.
“Lord Dog’s still as awesome as ever!”
“I bet Gu Teng’s now regretting ever getting on Lord Dog’s bad side.”
“It’s painful just to watch him getting beaten up like this.”
By then, the other Eldritchs had just snapped out of their shock but were still looking at Gu Teng in panic and fear.
“Even Lord Gu Teng’s being beaten up by the dog, too?”
“Evil bald dog! Evil leather pants!”
“This is terrible! Quick, let’s all attack the dog at the same time!”
“We need to save Lord Gu Teng!”
At this moment, Gu Chen stepped forward again, his eyes bursting with cold murderous intent, burning with anger. He was careless before. Being sent flying by Blackie was the biggest shame in his life!
“These ants won’t last long! Eldritchs, heed my order and kill them all!” The world was instantly shrouded in a cloud of blood. The terrifying killing aura and the endless pressure silenced the entire fourth dimension.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!” The sky-shaking roar came from the mouths of the Eldritchs and the power of Wisdom converged into a frightening aura. Then, the group made up of the strongest of the strong Eldritchs charged at the same time.
The number of first-step Wisdom Elites and second-step Wisdom Elites amounted to thirty men and the number of the Heavenly Realm fighters was even more numerous, making their combined power unimaginably powerful.
Cold beads of sweat began to trickle down from the Heavenly Palace people’s foreheads. The sense of horror rendered them paralyzed for a moment.
“Bring it on!” Cultivator Junjun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and immediately rushed to the front with the others.
With the broken spear in his hand, Ye Canglan smiled and said, “Let’s fight to the end!”
The Elite King waved his manure fork around casually and said, “What are you doing? Do you want to make our work harder? Just stay back and watch!”
“Umm…” Cultivator Junjun’s face went rigid.
“Leave it to us. You might accidentally get hurt if you join in now,” said Shi Tuqin with a smile.
‘Accidentally hurt us? I know they mean well but why does it sound like they’re looking down on us…?’
The Jade Emperor cleared his throat and said, “Then we’ll leave it to you guys. Let us know if you need any help.”
“How dare you look down on us?” Gu Chen’s eyes burned with anger. With a roar, he charged toward Blackie. He was going to rescue Gu Teng by hook or by crook!
However, the moment he moved, the Elite King also moved. He stepped across the space and pierced Gu Chen with his manure fork. Instantly, Gu Chen was enveloped in a monstrous killing aura. His mana provided no resistance as the manure fork went straight for his chest. He did not retreat but raised both of his hands.
Both of his hands were enveloped by the thick power of Origins. It looked like he was wearing gloves, using that to catch the manure fork with his hands.
“Hehe, I…” Gu Chen was just about to say something mocking, but an afterimage suddenly cut through the void and came straight at him. Then, something landed on his head. That something was the manure bucket.
Gu Chen suddenly lost his perception and he quickly retreated. The Elite King chased after him impassively, raised his manure fork high, and brought it crashing down on the manure bucket.
Gu Chen’s brain almost exploded and he was sent flying up into the air like a comet. The Elite King was not done with him, and he continued to chase after Gu Chen with the manure fork in his hand.
The familiar attack style stunned everyone. First, there was Blackie with his leather pants, and now there was the Elite King with his manure bucket. The unpredictability of all their methods struck fear in their hearts.
Nanan looked at Gu Haoyun with eyes filled with battle spirit. “Dragin, there’s still one of the most powerful ones left. Let’s join hands to take him down together!”
Without waiting for a reply, she then charged toward Gu Haoyun with her shovel raised high.
Gu Haoyun grinned savagely and said, “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because you’re kids!”
However, the grin soon left his face. With every pour from Dragin’s ladle, a powerful water cage would appear around him, causing him to move slowly. Then, Nanan’s shovel would knock him over, wearing him down.
“Manure bucket, manure fork, shovel, pants, ladle…the power of Origins of these things is simply terrifying. Could it be that they had also gotten all the Origins of another dimension?”
Gu Haoyun was extremely frightened and he felt an ominous feeling. “They’re almost as strong as us! The only way to crush them is with numbers!”
He gazed at the other fights happening near him and saw that his army had been blocked by two women.
With a flick of her wrist, a brush appeared in Shi Tuqin’s hand. She lightly drew one stroke in the direction of the army and said calmly, “Drawing mountains and rivers in one stroke.”
Immediately, mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon appeared out of thin air, as if Shi Tuqin had created a whole new world, trapping the Eldritch army in it. This technique was a more advanced version of painting a prison because this stroke directly isolated a piece of the real world in the painting.
‘Do you seriously think you can stop us with this?’ The Eldritch army scoffed mentally.
However, Shi Tuqin was not done yet. She raised her brush again and said, “Devouring the sun and the moon in one stroke.”
The world in which the Eldritch army was trapped disappeared instantly and they were plunged into the boundless darkness!
“What’s going on? Have I gone blind?”
“Even my mana can’t illuminate the place. What a terrifying ultimate spell!”
“Oh, no! The laws of the universe and the Wisdom in this space have been rewritten. We’re now trapped in that woman’s world!”
“She’s too powerful. We’ve underestimated the people of the seventh dimension!”
“Don’t panic. The easiest way out of here is to tear up this painting. There’s no way she can single-handedly trap us here!”
“This woman’s looking for death. She’ll inevitably suffer a severe injury when we tear up this painting. Haha, doesn’t she know the consequences?”
At the same time, Qin Manyun lifted her hand and a Guqin appeared in front of her. She sat gracefully cross-legged in the void and began to play the Guqin.
“One song into reincarnation!” A sonorous sound followed, and the sound wave turned into a mighty tide, washing over the world in the painting. In this world without light, the sound of the Guqin seemed to be the only sunlight, spreading to every corner.
“Ah—! No—! The Guqin sound is awful!”
“How could such awful music exist in this world? Kill me! Kill me, please!”
“Such an unpleasant sound is stopping my power from condensing. Without a doubt, this is the music of the devil!”
“Ah—! I can still hear it even though I’ve cut off my ears!”
“Hahaha, I’ll be free once I commit suicide!”
The limited space in the painting world maximized the power of the sound of the Guqin. The Eldritch army could not even escape. The sound of the Guqin scared the souls out of them and their Dao Hearts began to collapse.
“They sure are ruthless!” Yang Jing looked at the downfall of the Eldritch army. He gulped and his whole body shook with fear. Even he had to admit that the sound of the Guqin was monstrously awful. Even if it was not aimed at him, it still caused his blood to boil, his heart to explode, and general discomfort on his body. It was not hard to imagine how much worse it was for the people inside the painting.
‘It’s a good thing we didn’t join in the battle…’
“It’s amazing how under the tutoring of the expert, even awful playing of the Guqin can produce such destructive power,” said Cultivator Junjun in amazement.
Goddess Nuwa nodded and said, “Yes, I’m amazed, too.”
All the other onlookers were struck dumb. Their jaws had dropped to the ground as they looked at the battlefield in a daze.
