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

Chapter 509 The Power of the Four Corpse Ancestors

Previously, the Demon God was besieged on all sides, with most of its power being used to fight against the encirclement by the heavens and the mechanical creator.

Although they are now "imprisoned" and confined to this awkward state, their own power has been freed up.

From the outside, the demon god appears to be a caged beast.

But once inside the "cage," it remains a powerful beast.

And that's all that the heavens and the god of mechanical creation can do.

Ultimately, the Flesh and Blood Demon God is still a demon god, essentially a true god-level being. Although its attack power is currently somewhat lacking, its defensive capabilities are extremely strong.

"The four True Gods will probably get involved later, right?" Zhang Yao asked curiously. "With four True Gods involved, things should be much better."

"Probably," Wu Xian said thoughtfully.

Previously, the four true gods were unable to intervene because they couldn't come over.

Now that even their real bodies have come, they can naturally provide some assistance to a certain extent.

However, this flesh and blood abyss may not be able to withstand the power of the four true gods, so it is estimated that it can only participate in the form of an avatar.

"Speaking of which, Brother Wu, you actually know the Four True Gods," Zhang Yao exclaimed in amazement. "Could you please introduce us later?"

"by chance."

Wu Xian chuckled and frowned as he looked at the evil god's servants who were being suppressed by various forces.

It is said that one force can defeat all laws.

Since he can regenerate and revive indefinitely, then we'll fight him until he can't regenerate anymore.

“I’ll give it a try,” Wu Xian said thoughtfully, “It’s a good opportunity to test the power of the other three Corpse Ancestors.”

"The other three Corpse Ancestors?" Zhang Yao was startled.

Everyone has their eyes on [Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen] and is already drooling over him.

Judging from Wu Xian's words, besides Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, there seem to be three other Corpse Ancestors.

Good heavens, this incredibly powerful zombie scroll is actually part of a series.

Is this...reasonable?

In a moment of surprise and doubt, a monstrous aura of malevolence and corpse energy surged from Wu Xian's body, and the entire flesh and blood world was brought to a standstill and tightened under the terrifying power of the malevolent energy.

It's obvious that the demon god hidden deep within the abyss of flesh and blood is feeling a bit of a tightness in his anus.

Looking again at the divine image that appeared above Wu Xian's head, four zombies, two men and two women, exuding murderous aura, were arranged in four directions. Their laws intertwined, together outlining a peculiar background pattern, resembling some kind of terrifying monster.

"Wow~ What a beautiful zombie sister," Huang Lili stared intently at the drought demon, her eyes sparkling. "How can someone so beautiful be a zombie?"

At the same time, the four Corpse Ancestors, led by Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, have appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

With the appearance of the four Corpse Ancestors, a strange unease pervaded the entire Blood and Flesh Abyss.

The demon god lurking in the deepest part of the abyss had his mentality explode once again.

Four! A full four Corpse Ancestors!
He was already envious and troubled by just one Corpse Ancestor General, yet he managed to produce four.

Each one, taken individually, could serve as the perfect prototype of his physical body, helping him to integrate all the power and become a true demon god.

The problem is that none of these four Corpse Ancestors belong to him; each of them, as an enemy, is enough to give him a huge headache.

Meanwhile, the crowds at the scene were already stunned and speechless.

Zhang Yao, in particular, stared intently at the female demon among the four great corpse ancestors. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had taken a liking to her.

But only he knew what he was shocked about.

As the power of the female demon was unleashed, a scorching and arid aura instantly spread, drying up everything in its path.

The entire battlefield of flesh and blood was instantly covered by scorching heat, and all the moisture in the flesh and blood was drained away.

The power of Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen is to drain the blood and vital energy from flesh and blood, turning it into dried meat.

At this moment, the power of the goddess Nüba directly strips the moisture from the flesh and blood, turning it into dried meat.

The key point is that Nüba's [Scorched Earth] is a passive aura skill, so you can just stand there and use it.

Furthermore, this ability to deprive someone of moisture is similar to the Bifang Divine Fire, belonging to the direct deprivation and disintegration at the level of [water spirit essence].

"W-w-w..." Zhang Yao exclaimed in surprise, "A zombie version of the Sun God? Why does it seem even hotter and better at barbecuing than my Sun God?"

“Not the sun god,” Wu Xian explained with a light laugh, “but the god of drought.”

While intense sunlight can cause drought, drought is not necessarily caused by the sun.

The goddess Nüba is the embodiment of the power of "drought," and is herself the personification of drought.

Moreover, the goddess Nüba had already developed divinity from the very beginning.

Although Zhang Yao's mechanical Apollo held a high position, it ultimately failed to transform into divinity and naturally could not compare with the power of the Goddess Nüba.

“No,” Zhang Yao said with a strange expression, “this scroll doesn’t look like a zombie at all.”

Wu Xian did not offer any further explanation.

Zombies of this level cannot be viewed with conventional standards.

Just as top-tier demons can transform into human form, top-tier zombies can also make themselves look no different from living people.

"Hmm, the effects of the Corpse Ancestor Houqing seem to be quite good?"

As the Goddess Nüba exerted her power, the two Corpse Ancestors, Ying Gou and Hou Qing, also exerted their power.

Ying Gou's power leans more towards the level of Yin spirits and the level of body-cultivating zombies. His physical strength and power are second only to Jiang Chen, the Corpse Ancestor, among the four Corpse Ancestors.

There was nothing he could do; after all, Jiang Chen was transformed from the remains of a Hou (a mythical beast), and was born with an immortal body.

Of course, Ying Gou also has its own advantages, namely, its soul is immortal.

If Jiang Chen inherited the physical power of Hou, then Ying Gou is the ultimate manifestation of Hou's soul power.

Although Hanba and Houqing also fused with the remnant soul of Hou, their power in terms of corpse souls ultimately could not compare with Ying Gou.

This is why, in the myths and legends of the past, only the drought demon and the Houqing were explicitly "eliminated".

Jiang Chen and Ying Gou, one disappeared without a trace, and the other had his body destroyed, fleeing with his soul and the aura of his corpse.

But this does not mean that Hanba and Houqing are weaker than the other two Corpse Ancestors.

In fact, the strength of Hanba and Houqing lies in their own power, and the further transformation of their own power after merging with the power of Hou.

For example, the drought power of the drought demon, and the curse power of Hou Qing.

At this moment, the curse emanating from Hou Qing was already subtly eroding the flesh and blood of the demon god.

Beneath the dried flesh, deep within the flesh, signs of necrosis and decay have begun to appear.

"Surely the power of the curse can't be completely suppressed, right?" Wu Xian joked with the God of Wealth. "The power of a curse is quite special, and it is indeed more troublesome to restrict," the God of Wealth analyzed, "especially since it is a curse from the ancient witch clan."

You should know that Hou Qing's surname is Hou!
Although Hou Tu Niangniang's younger brother was not a very honorable person, Hou Qing was ultimately from the ancient witch clan, and his powerful curse ability was a continuation of the ancient witch clan's power.

Wu Xian even suspected that Hou Qing's transformation into a zombie was partly due to his sister's secret efforts to help him survive and continue in another way.

Unfortunately, this younger brother was too disappointing and harbored too much resentment, ultimately leading to his destruction and wasting Houtu's painstaking efforts.

Now, I'm starting over in the world of the scroll painting, hoping to do better and ease the worries of your wonderful older sister, and bring her some honor.

The education of Hou Qing will be temporarily handled by his two elder sisters, Jiang Chen and Hanba.

Sometimes, it's actually easier to educate someone who isn't your biological sister.

Your older sister might soften her heart and feel reluctant at crucial moments, but Jiang Chen and Hanba are truly ruthless!

Especially our eldest sister, Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen will play the good cop and Han Ba ​​the bad cop, and they will try to subdue Hou Qing, this troublesome little brother, until he is completely obedient.

It might even play a role in the future when the goddess Houtu is awakened and re-established.

At least for now, under the suppression of Jiang Chen and Hanba, Shizu Houqing is relatively well-behaved.

"Damn human, what have you done to me?!"

The evil god's servants, who were being suppressed below, were clearly starting to panic. Their flesh and blood were regenerating at a rate that couldn't keep up with the rate at which the curse was worsening.

At first, the evil god's servants didn't take it seriously, thinking that they could get rid of the curse by giving up this body and using the power of the evil god to change into another body.

However, the curse was even more bizarre than any evil power, seemingly branded directly into the depths of his soul.

Even though he was in a different body, the cursed power still lingered.

"Please pass on a message to your demon god, tell him to realize the situation as soon as possible and give up resistance," Wu Xian joked. "Stop causing trouble for us humans. You yourselves don't want to be human, but we still want to be human."

"Ahhhh——!"

The evil god's servants screamed in agony, their deformed flesh and blood bodies constantly sprouting black lines, decaying and rotting, and being hardened by the power of the drought demon. In their struggle, they cracked and broke apart, constantly shedding crumbs.

What drove the evil god's servant even more mad was that even though he completely abandoned his physical body and temporarily went into hiding, the cursed power continued to torment his evil soul, leaving him unable to live or die.

"Is that all?" Zhang Yao and the people from all sides had strange expressions, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

On the other hand, the members of the Underworld Club erupted in enthusiastic daze, shouting that Wu Xian was wise and mighty, and invincible.

"Haha, as expected, it still takes the Vice President to make a move!"

"Vice President is awesome!"

"This new Corpse Ancestor looks pretty good. My wallet is ready."

"I actually prefer the Goddess Nüba. Even without fighting, having her by my side is a pleasure to behold."

“Later, you get a copy of Houqing Corpse Ancestor, and I'll get a copy of Nüba Goddess. Then we'll be brothers, our swords combined.”

"But speaking of which, why hasn't that other Ying Gou Corpse Ancestor made any moves? What abilities does he have?"

Faced with everyone's curiosity, Wu Xian smiled but remained silent.

As I've said, Ying Gou's strength lies in the soul level. He may seem calm at this moment, but he's already exerting his power in secret.

Soon after, amidst the puzzled murmurs of the crowd, Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of malice flashing in his ferocious gaze.

call!
Ying Gou suddenly raised his hand, and the overwhelming baleful aura and corpse energy intertwined, transforming into strange gusts of yin wind. Like electric drills, they shattered the charred and rotten flesh below, striking deep into the endless flesh and blood.

At this moment, the evil god's servant, who had been dormant as a malevolent soul, was retreating painfully into the depths of his flesh and blood, preparing to have the great demon god help him find release.

Unfortunately, before he could retreat for long, he saw flesh and blood rapidly tearing apart behind him, and wisps of eerie wind, like ghostly shadows, quickly wrapped around his malevolent soul and dragged him back.

Immediately afterwards, a soul imprisoned in the Yin Wind and Qi fell into the hands of Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou.

Zhang Yao and the crowd present were all dumbfounded.

"Good heavens, it can even capture evil spirits?" Zhang Yao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

It should be noted that the souls of these evil god's servants had already been sold to the evil god, and contained powerful evil energy.

It contains not only the power of the flesh and blood demon god, but also the power of other evil gods hidden in the dark, which are difficult to capture and eliminate by ordinary means.

The Necromancer's Guild has been researching how to deal with evil spirits.

Currently, only some top-tier necromancy scrolls from the Necropolis Gym and some necromancy scrolls from the Underworld Club can severely damage these evil souls to some extent, but they can never completely erase them, let alone capture them directly.

"Is this what a soul corrupted by evil forces looks like?"

Wu Xian curiously observed the sinister soul in Ying Gou's hand.

As soon as the divine sense probed over, it could feel a strange and evil power trying to invade through the spiritual power.

Fortunately, Wu Xian's sea of ​​consciousness was blessed by merit and incense, and also had the true divine will of the God of Wealth guarding it. These invading evil forces were instantly wiped out and could not penetrate in the first place.

"Brother Wu, be careful, this thing... uh..."

Zhang Yao instinctively called out to remind him, but saw that Wu Xian remained calm and unaffected by the evil power.

In this situation, Zhang Yao smiled bitterly to himself, his heart filled with complex emotions.

Is this the advantage of being a true God's chosen one?
Why is it that no true god is willing to descend upon him when he is so outstanding?
"interesting."

This evil soul is completely different from a normal soul. It is not bound by the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation at all. Instead, it is more like a virus or something dirty that has invaded the laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

However, it was completely suppressed by Ying Gou's power.

As mentioned before, the Corpse Ancestors, being beings born against the heavens, are not within the Three Realms and Five Elements. Although their power is somewhat evil, they do not entirely belong to the realm of evil forces.

Rather, it is a special existence that exists between righteous gods and evil gods.

Therefore, the power of righteous gods is not very effective against these evil spirits, but the power of Ying Gou can.

"Can this thing be completely eliminated?" Wu Xian looked at Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen with curiosity, since Ying Gou had not yet developed consciousness.

Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen smiled indifferently, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Ying Gou seemed to understand Wu Xian's words and was displeased with Wu Xian's disdain. He opened his ferocious mouth wide and swallowed the evil soul whole.

After refining and absorbing this evil soul, Ying Gou's power also increased to a certain extent.

"I'm sorry, it was my ignorance that led me to say that." Wu Xian quickly apologized as he was taken aback.

Surprisingly, Corpse Ancestor Ying Gou is quite easy to please. Upon hearing these words, he instantly appeared satisfied.

Since it hasn't developed a complete consciousness yet, it can basically be treated as a child.

But that's not the point. The point is that Wu Xian could clearly feel that as the evil soul was refined and absorbed by Ying Gou, a considerable amount of merit also emerged in the four Corpse Ancestor God Diagrams in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The four Corpse Ancestors disliked the power of merit, so it naturally benefited him.
