Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 501 Shen Tu and Yu Lei, A New World is Born
Xue Lingling understood this a long time ago.

The Zhao family's concept and inheritance of the scroll painting are actually quite ordinary, relying mainly on the weight of the laws accumulated over thousands of years by the God of the Dead.

Without the blessing of the Netherworld God Realm, it is no match for the Underworld series of scrolls.

Take this [Heavenly Demon] for example. At first glance, it seems quite powerful, but because it is a newly restored ancient scroll, it has not yet received the blessing of the God of the Dead. In essence, it is just a paper tiger.

To put it bluntly, even if the Heavenly Evil Demon were to receive the blessing of the Realm of the Dead, it would only reach the level of a Demon King, and no more.

Therefore, releasing the two Eastern Ghost Emperors, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, at this moment feels somewhat like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

But that's exactly the effect she wanted.

Because it was the "military concept" version from the master's sister, the two ghost emperors, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, were not portrayed as formal figures in court attire like the Yama Kings, but rather as figures in military uniforms that better suited their military background.

Or perhaps it better reflects the image of door gods in later generations.

To Xue Lingling's left is Shen Tu, dressed in colorful armor and holding a golden halberd, while to her right is Cai Yulei, dressed in black robes and golden armor, holding a golden mace, and sitting on a black tiger resembling the God of Wealth, in a leisurely posture.

They didn't bother with the so-called Heavenly Evil Ghost at all, but the black divine tiger under Cai Yulei's mount bared its sharp teeth at the Heavenly Evil Ghost.

A moment later, as if granted permission, the black tiger pounced and charged forward, its roar echoing through the air.

Startled and suspicious, Zhao Qinghe manipulated the Heavenly Evil Ghost to deal with the situation in a panic.

They fought the Black Tiger to a standstill.

In contrast, the black divine tiger was completely playing the role of a cat toying with a mouse.

"Impossible, how is this possible?!"

Zhao Qinghe wasn't stupid; he could vaguely sense the power of Xue Lingling's two scrolls.

He, who was inflated with ego, instantly sobered up at that moment.

He just couldn't understand how Xue Lingling could conceive and create such a top-notch scroll.

With that shabby inheritance system left by the Xue family ancestors, why should they rely on it?

Even with Wu Xian's help and guidance, it shouldn't be that they'd just fly to the heavens, right?

While the Heavenly Evil Ghost and the Black Divine Tiger were locked in a fierce battle, the scions of the Necromancer's Gym also arrived, along with many elders of the Necromancer's Gym and live broadcasters from various media outlets.

The live streamers immediately focused their cameras on Zhao Qinghe and Xue Lingling.

The vast majority of netizens watched with great interest.

After all, the news that the Abyss of Flesh and Blood contained ancient scroll relics had already spread. Netizens were full of curiosity about the inheritance of ancient scrolls and wanted to see what they looked like and whether they were as miraculous as rumored.

"What's going on? With a formidable enemy at hand, why are they fighting?"

"It's normal for young people to learn from each other and exchange ideas; just enjoy watching the show."

"These two are clearly from the Necronomicon, so it makes perfect sense for family members to spar with each other."

"However, both scrolls are unfamiliar. Which one is the ancient scroll heritage?"

"Zhao Qinghe? Is there even a need to ask?" said a viewer who was really into the live stream. "I've seen Xue Lingling's two scrolls in other live streams before, they're really impressive!"

"Aren't they supposed to be incredibly impressive ancient scroll artifacts? Why does it seem like they don't live up to the hype?"

"Hmph! I knew you couldn't believe those braggarts online; they can exaggerate anything."

"To put it bluntly, isn't this ancient scroll being completely dominated?"

"Perhaps the ancient scroll by Zhao Qinghe was simply of ordinary provenance?"

"Yes, yes, that must be it. The more powerful the remnant spirit of an ancient scroll is, the harder it is to repair. Someone who can repair it so quickly must not be a powerful character."

"If you put it that way, it doesn't seem wrong?"

"But why do I feel it's because Xue Lingling's two new scrolls are too powerful?"

"That's normal, even ancient scrolls contain trash."

"Wasn't someone just praising ancient scroll paintings? Why are you silent now? Come out and explain!"

"It's boring~ It's boring."

"What a piece of trash! After all that bragging, it can't even beat the original mount of the scroll."

Not only the viewers in the live stream, but also the scions of the Necromancer's Guild at the scene were stunned, and some even felt a sense of schadenfreude.

Zhao Qinghe was just bragging to them, and then he ended up pooping a huge pile of poop.

"Isn't this the legacy of their Zhao family ancestors? Is this all?"

"It looks kind of trashy."

"Heh, I thought it was something special, turns out it's just this level."

"To be honest, it looks quite strong, but Xue Lingling's new scroll is just too outrageous."

In the past few days, these young masters from aristocratic families who arrived one after another have naturally witnessed the power of Xue Lingling's two newly painted scrolls. In short: terrifyingly powerful.

However, we have yet to see the full potential of Xue Lingling's two new paintings.

"After all, it was just repaired, so we're not very familiar with using it yet, and it doesn't have any divine blessing or anything, so it's normal for it to have weaknesses."

"What you're saying means that Junior Sister Xue's new scroll also doesn't have the blessing of the divine realm?"

After these words were spoken, everyone was speechless.

Nearby, the elder from the collateral branch of the Zhao family also arrived at the scene. Seeing Zhao Qinghe "make a fool of himself," he was somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Zhao Qinghe not only lost face for himself, but also for the entire Zhao clan.

"With a formidable enemy at hand, how can we act so recklessly—!"

The elder of the Zhao family's collateral branch shouted angrily and stepped in to stop the fight between the two. However, his bias was a bit too obvious. The powerful aura of the Eight-Star Jade Scroll beside him directly suppressed Xue Lingling.

"What is Elder Zhao doing?"

Xu Cunxin's face darkened, and the Jade Scroll Valkyrie instantly made a move, blocking the Zhao family's collateral elder.

The elder from the collateral branch of the Zhao family had an uncertain expression. "This is a matter within our Necromancer's Guild. It's not appropriate for Her Highness to interfere, is it?"

Just as Xu Cunxin was about to make a sarcastic remark, Xue Lingling stood to the side and said fearlessly, "Sister Cunxin, don't worry about it. I've been annoyed with this old man for a long time!"

Back when she was studying at the Necromancer's Gym, that old man made things difficult for her quite a bit.

Although Xu Cunxin meant well, in Xue Lingling's opinion, Xu Cunxin's interference was hindering her from showing off.

Although Xu Cunxin was somewhat worried, she still managed to control the Valkyrie to retreat to her side.

"You old fool, you're taking sides, aren't you? Come on, let's see if you can stop you!"

Xue Lingling laughed mockingly, and Shen Tu and Yu Lei beside her unleashed a terrifying and earth-shattering aura, leaving the people present and even those on the front lines speechless.

In an instant, a chilling wind gathered across the entire front line, and a magnificent glow appeared.

It's as if an invisible army of a million is secretly gathering strength, giving people a sense of oppression, like a massive army pressing in.

Although Shen Tu and Yu Lei were only at the level of a seven-and-a-half-star gold scroll, they were not at a disadvantage at all when facing the eight-star jade scroll of the Zhao family's collateral elder. On the contrary, they subtly suppressed the eight-star jade scroll.

It's important to know that the jade scroll of the Zhao family's collateral elder is blessed by the divine realm! The two ghost emperors, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, are well-known best friends and old partners. When they join forces, their combat power is terrifying.

In just a few short exchanges, the Eight-Star Jade Scroll was completely disoriented.

The elder from the collateral branch of the Zhao family looked flustered, his expression shifting between light and dark, clearly stunned by the beating.

Fortunately, by this time, the meetings between the various patriarchs had ended, and the overwhelming power emanating from Shen Tu and Yu Lei had naturally alarmed these old fellows.

When the Zhao family patriarch arrived, he was shocked by Xue Lingling's two extraordinary scrolls, but he acted justly and stopped the fight.

There was nothing they could do, since Old Man Feng and all the other old folks were watching from the sidelines.

"This is utterly absurd!" the Zhao family patriarch coldly rebuked. "How dare you two cause trouble on the front lines?!"

The patriarch of the Holy Spirit Dojo tried to smooth things over, saying, "Young people are understandable, very understandable."

The atmosphere finally eased.

"But then again, those two scrolls of this little girl are truly extraordinary." The elders from all sides clicked their tongues in admiration, secretly filled with envy.

Xue Lingling pouted sullenly and silently put away the two Ghost Emperors.

Although the other party is the patriarch of the Zhao family, he is also the supreme elder of the Necromancer's Guild, so we still have to give him face on the surface.

"My little granddaughter-in-law, why are you fighting with someone?" Elder Feng stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"He started this trouble, so it's my fault?" Xue Lingling sneered.

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng couldn't help but turn his gaze to the Zhao family patriarch.

Knowing he was in the wrong, the Zhao family patriarch coldly gestured for Zhao Qinghe to get out of the way, then looked at Xue Lingling with admiration in his eyes, "You must be that little girl from the Xue family, not bad, not bad, worthy of being the successor of the founding family of my Necromancer's Guild."

"Thank you for your kind words, Elder." Xue Lingling said with a forced smile.

"It seems our Necromancer's Guild is about to gain another powerful family. Congratulations!" The Zhao family patriarch said politely, then turned to Elder Feng with a teasing smile, "I've heard about this girl and your grandson. From now on, we'll be in-laws."

Elder Feng was polite on the surface, but secretly sneered.

If you're going to have in-laws, they'll be related to the future Xue family, not your Zhao family at all.

He was fully aware of the open and covert struggles between the martial arts schools.

Now, only the association is backing her up; otherwise, she would definitely face a lot of targeting and difficulties.

However, to be fair, my granddaughter-in-law is truly outstanding, especially with these two brand-new necromancy scrolls. Given time, they will be no less impressive than the legacy of the major families in the Necromancer's Guild.

"Speaking of which, with Yaoyang City destroyed, the Xue family is inevitably displaced..." The Zhao family patriarch sighed with concern, "They will eventually need to find a place to settle down, so perhaps..."

These familiar words only prove that people who aren't family don't associate with each other.

Xue Lingling rolled her eyes at this.

However, before the Zhao family patriarch could finish speaking, a tremendous and awe-inspiring power of heaven and earth had already erupted from the direction of Yaoyang City.

The people who were laughing and joking just a moment ago all turned their attention to Yaoyang City the next second.

Above the sky, which had been stained crimson by the power of flesh and blood, the immense power of heaven and earth rapidly converged, and a radiant glow, like the dawn breaking through the blood-red gloom, pierced through the darkness.

A series of magnificent celestial phenomena appeared in the sky above Yaoyang City.

Soon, the entire world of the scroll and even other worlds were plunged into this earth-shattering upheaval.

Its scale and grandeur are even more outrageous than the previous four true gods' enlightenment.

“That’s…?!”

The patriarchs from all sides gasped in disbelief.

"The Scroll of Heaven and Earth... it seems to be the aura created by the Scroll of Heaven and Earth!" the patriarch of the Divine Beast Dojo exclaimed in surprise and doubt.

“No, this is probably not an ordinary creation of the Heaven and Earth Scroll,” the patriarch of the Tongtian Daoguan said incredulously. “It seems that the entire order of heaven and earth is undergoing subtle changes.”

At the same time, a powerful force of heaven and earth surged from the direction of Yaoyang City.

It was like an invisible breeze brushing across the earth.

Wherever it went, the eerie, fleshy earth instantly melted away and disappeared, transforming into a vibrant land.

Meanwhile, in the ruins of Yaoyang City, at the Mechanical Dojo camp, Wu Xian and many others were also watching this earth-shattering change.

Under the nourishment of the old lady's natal Earth Mother Goddess, the already powerful structure of Huaguo Mountain became even more perfect, and even more and larger areas were derived from Huaguo Mountain.

At this moment, as Wu Xian communicated with the origin of heaven and earth, Huaguo Mountain rose from the ruins of Yaoyang City.

The familiar Huaguo Mountain scene is being shaped by the very origin of heaven and earth in a way that is as profound as the changing of the sea and the transformation of the land.

The endless flesh and blood power around them was instantly dispelled, replaced by a series of beautiful mountains and rivers. The air was filled with a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere, and the mountains and peaks were shrouded in mist and spiritual energy.

That's right, it's genuine spiritual energy, not the kind of spiritual energy aura that Yaoyang City used to have.

Unlike the scaled-down versions of the Underworld and the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, the "Flower and Fruit Mountain" world being created at this moment is the complete size.

In an instant, it replaced the ruins of Yaoyang City and continued to expand outwards.

At the easternmost point of Huaguo Mountain's expansion, the waves began to surge at some unknown time. The boundless seawater tore through time and space, transforming into a raging tsunami and forming an endless ocean.

"Huh? How did this get involved with the Endless Sea?"

Wu Xian's expression was strange.

As the sea was being shaped, this new world seemed to connect and merge with the endless sea, but not in the way of a dimensional rift; rather, it was a direct fusion of the forces of heaven and earth.

Or rather, at this moment, the vast ocean in the eastern part of this new world is both the human world and part of the endless sea.

At this moment, Canghai Zhiya, who had been guarding the outpost of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, was completely dumbfounded.

"What's going on? What kind of trick is Wu Xian up to now?"

"No, how could this be? The power of heaven and earth has merged..."

Not long ago, I was gloating over the Abyss Demon Lord, but unexpectedly, the second Earth Core appeared on my side as well.

And it's even more outrageous than the Ghost Domain.

As the framework of the Four Seas Dragon Palace transforms into the core of the endless sea, it is merging with the power of the human world in an inconceivable way.

"Could it be due to the creation of that Heaven and Earth Scroll? But how could this happen?"

The more Canghai Zhiya thought about it, the more confused he became, so he quickly contacted several other true gods to discuss and research the matter.

……

Dimensional Rift Frontline.

The shaping power of heaven and earth surged in like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down. The dimensional control zone, which was originally eroded by flesh and blood, was transformed in the blink of an eye into a beautiful landscape of magnificent mountains and rivers.

Everyone on the front lines was immersed in this completely new world, and they were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

The blood-red sky above has long since turned into blue sky and white clouds, and the dimensional rift of your new abyss has now become a small crack in the vast sky.

The enormous Taotie crouched below the rift in the sky, only slightly stunned by the transformation of the surrounding world before turning back to continue devouring the flesh and blood that kept pouring out of the dimensional rift.
