I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Chapter 80 Anomaly, Information

Etherland.

Jiu San looked up at the sky above and saw the three sect leaders who had manifested their martial spirits and were resisting the corrosive impact of the alien star power. He clicked his tongue in amazement.

The power of the Spirit Transformation Realm in the Ruins of Return is actually far less terrifying than it is in a small world.

The Heavenly Dao rules of Guixu are dead and silent. When the Martial Soul manifests, it consumes the accumulated foundation of the body. The combat power it displays is similar to that of a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator who comprehends the meaning of martial arts in the Bitter Realm.

They fought entirely based on the rudiments of martial arts supernatural abilities.

He rarely uses any special moves.

Therefore, when they fight, the noise is actually quite small.

When these transformed spirits arrive in a small world with abundant energy and a low level of Heavenly Dao, they display a completely different kind of charm.

With their martial spirits manifested, they were like incarnations of the Heavenly Dao, each move capable of triggering a natural disaster impact that could spread over a hundred miles.

It has a stronger ability to protect itself.

Even when continuously impacted by the power of heaven and earth, it remains unharmed.

In any case, Jiu San did not feel the three auras above his head weaken in the slightest.

The seal has been confirmed to remain stable.

Jiu San's figure blended into the shadows, traversing the shadows revealed by the material world, as if shrinking the earth to an inch, and quickly heading towards the deeper part of the Ether Domain.

Before his master went into seclusion, he instructed him to regularly inquire about the activities of that group of wizards.

Those wizards used bizarre methods, and the wizard towers they built were even more capable of monitoring dimensional changes.

His Dao Body talent, named Shadow Traversal, is similar to spatial leaping, allowing him to continuously jump within the shadows of his perception range.

His talent and potential are even greater than his master's.

But it couldn't escape the monitoring of those wizard towers.

Master Shen Linyuan is different.

Shen Linyuan had a fortuitous encounter in his early years, which resulted in the symbiosis of a precious magical beast. Combined with his innate supernatural abilities, even the Wizard Tower could not detect it.

Therefore, Shen Linyuan could freely travel to gather intelligence, while he could only use methods to parasitize the shadows of those wizard apprentices to gather information.

Deep within the Etheric Realm.

The power structure is similar to that of the Martial Alliance in Guixu.

Around these extraordinary organizations, a large number of barbarian structures live.

This wasn't Jiu San's first time here.

Upon arriving at the territory of an organization called Four Seasons Garden, he skillfully slipped into the shadow of a third-class wizard apprentice hurrying along.

This time, however, something was amiss.

Looking at the deserted path he had walked along, Jiu San scratched his head: "That's strange. Last time I came here, the population density was higher than some small countries outside. How come I haven't seen a single person all day?"

What about people?

I was puzzled.

The third-class wizard apprentice suddenly activated the ring on his hand: "Freeze!"

A large expanse of icy energy, shaped like a core, shot out, transforming an area more than thirty meters away into a world of ice and frost.

Aetheric energy is surging.

One after another, deformed figures, crawling and lying in ambush, revealed their forms.

Upon seeing those deformed monsters, Jiu San's pupils contracted slightly: "Aren't these the cannon fodder from the abyss that those wizards created using that newly formed secret realm?"

He hadn't even noticed that something was hidden in front of him.

This mere third-class wizard apprentice, whose soul strength is at most equivalent to an ordinary Qi Sea Realm martial artist, how could he sense something amiss?

And judging from the situation, it looks like a hunt.

Amidst my doubts.

When the deformed monsters realized they had been exposed, they roared and pounced on the wizard apprentice.

The wizard apprentice looked quite young, but he had a lot of witchcraft tools in his hands.

Faced with this perilous situation, he calmly took out a crystal ball, quickly and briefly chanted a mantra, and then slammed the crystal ball onto the ground.

The ice tree took shape in an instant, and the icicles blossomed.

puff puff~

The monsters that pounced on them were instantly pierced by the sharp ice pillars and hung on the branches of the blooming ice tree. Their black blood stained the ground and wisps of foul black mist rose up.

This pile of cannon fodder has been dealt with.

The wizard apprentice took out a pointer, examined it for a moment, meditated and rested for a while, then changed direction and continued the hunt.

In the shadows.

Looking at the still-blooming ice tree and the several deformed monsters hanging on it, Jiu San felt uneasy.

He then followed the third-rate wizard, cleared out several groups of cannon fodder, and broke free from the wizard's shadow, heading towards the town they had previously visited.

After a search.

Jiu San's expression grew increasingly grim.

no one!

He continued deeper into the area.

Next.

Whether it's a town or a larger settlement.

You can't see any ordinary people.

On the contrary, it's been a journey.

Everywhere were wizard apprentices cleaning up cannon fodder from the abyss and patches of polluted land.

It was as if they deliberately drove those cannon fodder to those positions, and then used combat to kill those deformed cannon fodder.

Jiu San felt increasingly uneasy.

Master Shen Linyuan had previously deduced that the group of wizards sealed the leaders of the three sects and created these deformed cannon fodder in order to launch a counterattack against the three major sects.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Ordinary people who have gone missing.

Deformed cannon fodder deliberately planted in ambush.

Contaminated land...

These are the foundations of these barbarian and extraordinary organizations.

What's going on? Why would they undermine their own foundation?

Thinking about this...

Having not encountered a single formal wizard, Jiu San was on high alert and dared not venture any further, turning and fleeing.

the other side.

After guarding the secret realm, Li Qingshan left behind a true qi avatar infused with the essence of martial arts, which transformed into a streak of azure light and flew towards the snow mountain base camp.

He had previously worried that the Golden Finger could only operate on the ground.

After advancing to the Meridian Opening Realm and condensing the intent of martial arts, he realized that he had worried too much.

By leveraging condensed true energy and life force field.

He can unleash the [Hundred-Ton King Charge] in the air as well, treading the sky as if it were flat ground.

Not only that.

After enveloping his body with the rudimentary form of the divine power born from the boundless body of the ocean, he can unleash the [Hundred-Ton King Charge], achieving a flight technique similar to "Transformation into a Rainbow".

It is a rudimentary form of Daoist supernatural power, and can also absorb the commotion caused by its flight.

It's only twice the speed of sound, fast as it is, but still far inferior to Master's Shadow Escape and Sect Leader's Golden Rainbow Transformation.

In the martial arts system, once one cultivates to the level of minor supernatural powers, they can manipulate the power of the rules, making them even more unreasonable than his cheat ability.

Half a day later.

Li Qingshan slowed his pace and went directly to the contact point that Jiu San had left for him.

He had originally planned to pick a pushover after his seclusion to make up for the emptiness in his pocket during this time, but then he received an urgent message from Jiu San.

The other party told him to return to the base camp as soon as he had time and go to the agreed contact point.

In Li Qingshan's memory, this was the first time he had ever seen Jiu San speak in such a serious tone.

So he didn't delay and rushed over as soon as he received the message.

A small hut filled with the smell of sulfur and blood.

Jiu San lay on the bed, his face deathly pale.

An exploration.

He had only once hidden in the shadow of a third-class wizard apprentice when he was silently corrupted.

He didn't even know when he contracted the virus.

Moreover, this pollution is highly spiritual.

It didn't erupt until he returned to camp.

It was clear that they wanted to use him as a medium to corrupt the rest of the camp.

It was only because Jiu San reacted quickly and activated the array at his residence that this tragedy was averted.

At this moment, his physical appearance has changed dramatically.

His bare upper body was mostly covered in gray scales, and his eyes had turned pitch black.

Large amounts of blood seeped from the writhing scales, sizzling as they corroded the surrounding energy shield.

Jiu San silently stared at the thickness of the energy shield.

Once the thickness of the energy shield falls below the warning line, he will forcefully use his weakened body to throw out an appropriate amount of magic stones from his spatial ring to replenish the formation.

These transformations make the blood extremely polluting.

If he throws out too many magic stones, even the magic stones will become contaminated.

In other words.

Even if he still has a lot of magic stones, once he loses consciousness, he will be unable to stop the outbreak of pollution.

Unfortunately, Master was in seclusion.

Given his situation, he dared not inform the elders stationed at the camp.

Now, the only hope lies with his junior brother Li Qingshan, who is stationed in the Ether Domain.

"Hopefully it's not too late..."

Jiu San's dark eyes were lifeless.

Although he possessed a Dao body and had not yet condensed martial intent, he had a profound foundation and had already broken through to the Meridian Opening Realm by taking advantage of the last opportunity. He also had a powerful Spirit Eye Secret Technique, yet he still fell victim to the attack.

Combined with the anomalies within those wizarding organizations deep within the Ether Realm.

Jiu San suspected that something big was about to happen.

"Huh~"

Li Qingshan habitually switched to the perspective of the lower dimension to observe his surroundings and discovered that the contact point that Jiu San and he had agreed upon was actually hidden by a dotted line under the obstruction of the first layer of the activated array.

The dotted lines were somewhat similar to those that controlled the puppets of the overseers in the Cursed Realm, but they felt even more sinister to him.

On the contrary, he has a bit of the feel of that kobold abyss lord from before.

Li Qingshan thought for a moment, then instead of knocking on the door directly, he took out the jade token, intending to inquire about Jiu San's situation through it.

However, they discovered that there were two additional messages in their jade pendant.

This is targeted messaging, meaning the sender doesn't know their own location and can only forward the message to headquarters. The message will only be forwarded to them once they are close to headquarters.

He hasn't come back for a long time.

I don't know when the message was sent.

It took a short while.

Li Qingshan stopped sending a message to Jiu San and began to read the two messages.

The first message came from Guixu.

After reviewing the message.

Li Qingshan sighed.

This is a message sent by my cousin Li Tie; the content is rather varied.

The old man of the Li family passed away three months ago.

He passed away peacefully.

Several new members have also been added to the family.

Li Qingshan's second younger brother got married to the daughter of Li Tie's father-in-law's friend, someone he knew well.

His most beautiful younger sister was also engaged, but when the news was sent, she had some disagreements with her family and became somewhat depressed.

"Grandpa...Little Sister..."

Li Qingshan shook his head, preparing to go back and pay respects to the old man when he had time.

As for that younger sister...

Let's see how things go.

The fact that Li Tie even mentioned this matter shows that things have become quite tense, and he may have even suffered a setback with his parents.

If that's really the case.

He will not be soft-hearted and will let his sister know what the deep love of an elder brother is!

Keeping this in mind, Li Qingshan began to read the second message.

The second message was sent by a male disciple he didn't know, and it was sent more than eight months ago.

The content is also very disorganized.

Apart from the first sentence, "Return to the Ruins," the rest is a bunch of incomprehensible gibberish.

How did this person get my private messaging record?

Li Qingshan was puzzled, so he poured his soul power into his elder jade tablet, then activated the formation to check the disciple's information.

moment.

He seemed to be deep in thought.

This disciple was destitute and a typical member of the lower class. He had been a disciple for over five years and was still only at the Physical Realm. He had barely managed to adapt, but shortly after sending a message to himself, he died.

This is clearly a case of someone using the other person's identity jade token to send a message and then silencing them.

This kind of communication is because it is private to private.

Although it may result in delayed information reception, it is also less likely to alert others, making it a relatively discreet method of communication.

Li Qingshan didn't know many people in the Bitter Realm.

This method of communication is necessary.

Li Qingshan realized what was happening.

It must be my senior sister.

This was a message sent by my senior sister before she met me in the Cursed Secret Realm.

"By the way, when my senior sister was in the Cursed Secret Realm, she spoke evasively and even left a mark on me as a ten-year warning, telling me to run away within ten years. But she didn't mention this message. The message she sent was also written in a garbled way, telling me to return to the Void and start again..."

Li Qingshan quickly realized what was going on.

This must be something being transmitted. Deciphering it might cause unforeseen problems in the small world, so I'm being asked to return to the Ruins before deciphering it.

Li Qingshan was somewhat irritated.

My senior sister must have taken a lot of risk to pass on this information.

He didn't like this feeling.

I might have been a little hesitant before.

Now his will is strong and resilient. A little pleasure is just scenery along the way. To see more scenery and experience more customs is his true freedom and pursuit.

"I'm not going to get things for free anymore; free stuff is too expensive..."

Li Qingshan shook his head, annoyed, and kicked the small house in front of him: "Jiu San, if you're not dead, make a sound."

"Squeak..."

Inside the room, after a moment of silence, a faint creaking sound could be heard.

"You are being transformed into the bloodline of the abyss..."

After passing through the protective barrier and observing Jiu San's situation for a while, Li Qingshan gave his assessment.

Jiu San's current situation is even worse than before. Only a small part of his body inside still resembles a human, while his body surface is completely covered with scales.

The scales continued to wriggle, devouring and transforming the flesh and blood inside him.

"Will I die?"

Jiu San remained relatively calm.

Li Qingshan shook his head: "No, it just means you'll be bound by bloodline restrictions. Also, these auras will only pollute the surrounding environment, but they won't cause secondary pollution to life."

Hearing that there was no danger to his life and that the pollution would not spread, Jiu San was completely relieved.

He was an orphan, so even if he really became a demon of the abyss, he wouldn't feel any psychological burden.

Next.

He began to recount his exploration experience.

After listening to Jiu San's story, Li Qingshan frowned and pondered.

Jiu San waved his hand: "Control your breathing, you're too close, I can't breathe!"

This monstrous junior brother, having only been in seclusion for half a year, had actually integrated an incomparably domineering will into his body. When he got close, he actually felt as if he were facing his master, Shen Linyuan.

No, this will is even more domineering than that of the master.

In contrast.

At nearly forty years old, I've managed to reach the Meridian Opening Realm thanks to resources; I've practically wasted my life.

Li Qingshan ignored Jiu San's complaints.

He withdrew his life force field, his mind racing, and after a long while, he vaguely found the answer: "I think I know what's going on with you."

"What's going on?"

Jiu San coughed up several more mouthfuls of black blood, and said excitedly.

Li Qingshan's knowledge suggests that there might be a way to solve his problem.

If he could be a human, he naturally wouldn't want to be a monster from the abyss.

Li Qingshan looked towards the Ether Domain: "The place you went to harbors an Abyss Lord. You stayed too long and were corrupted and transformed by its aura!"

He grabbed Jiu San and hurriedly headed towards the passage.

The message my senior sister passed on probably contains this secret.

If the code is deciphered in time.

There might still be hope for Jiu San.
