Chapter 877 Strange Black Hair!
The female warriors followed behind Lin Qiye cautiously.
With each step they took, their unease grew.
The atmosphere here is too eerie.
Jiang Yulan followed closely behind Lin Qiye, her aura tense, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
She has already broken through to the Interstellar War God realm, so theoretically there shouldn't be anything that could frighten her.
But at this moment, her soul was trembling.
This is an instinctive warning.
It was a warning to her—that something extremely dangerous existed ahead.
"Master..." she couldn't help but speak, her voice tinged with caution, "The atmosphere here is very strange, should we..."
"Shhh."
Lin Qiye raised his hand, interrupting her.
His gaze fell on the darkness ahead, his eyes gleaming with a deep light.
"Quiet."
Jiang Yulan immediately shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.
The other female warriors also fell silent, nervously looking around.
Just then—
The fine black hair on the surface of the wreckage ahead suddenly began to surge wildly!
The downy hairs seemed to come alive, emerging from the gaps in the wreckage and writhing and spreading wildly in the air!
At the same time, a desolate and mournful sound rang in everyone's ears:
"civilization……"
"tombstone……"
"cycle……"
"Do not search..."
"Don't worry..."
"Don't look..."
"mistake……"
"Wrong... wrong... wrong... wrong..."
The sound was intermittent, yet it directly impacted everyone's mental consciousness!
It was filled with resentment, hatred, despair, and indescribable madness!
"Waaah—"
Jiang Yulan let out a muffled groan, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.
She sensed that the voice contained some kind of terrifying mental attack, causing her mental sea to tremble violently!
The other female warriors weren't much better off.
Their faces were filled with pain.
"It feels so...so painful..."
"This sound... is eroding our mental consciousness!"
"Owner--"
They instinctively moved closer to Lin Qiye, as if only by his side could they feel a sense of security.
Lin Qiye watched all of this quietly, his expression indifferent.
His Blood Demon Power flowed slowly within his body, easily dissolving the sounds that had invaded his mental consciousness.
"The Eye of Godfall..." he murmured softly, a thoughtful glint in his eyes. "So, the source of those sounds is here."
More than a decade ago, he encountered the Eye of Godfall on his way to the central star sector.
The whispers heard then were intermittent, filled with sorrow and warning, yet no one ever knew their source.
Until now.
"Master, what is that sound?"
Despite the tremors in her mind, Jiang Yulan managed to ask the question.
Lin Qiye did not answer.
His gaze fell on the writhing remains in front of him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Civilization...tombstone...cycle..."
He repeated those words softly.
"It seems that more than just the remains of the gods are buried here."
"There is also... some kind of truth."
As soon as the words fell—
"Buzz—!!!"
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from ahead!
The black fuzz on the surface of those wreckage grew wildly, tangled, and coalesced, eventually forming several enormous figures in the blink of an eye!
Those figures were dozens of feet tall, shrouded in a dense aura of death, and each one exuded a chilling pressure!
corruption!
decrepit!
death!
Those were three distinct yet perfectly blended auras!
"hiss--"
Jiang Yulan gasped, her face turning deathly pale.
She felt it!
The aura emanating from those remains—
He's at the level of a War God!
wrong!
Not just a war god!
That aura contained some kind of strange power, even more terrifying than that of an ordinary war god!
"Master!!!" she exclaimed, instinctively stepping in front of Lin Qiye.
The other female warriors also gathered their strength and prepared for battle.
however--
Lin Qiye simply smiled faintly.
"interesting."
"It's just a few wrecked remains, yet it can unleash this level of power?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that the secrets of these divine ruins are even more astonishing than I imagined."
"Master!!!" Jiang Yulan cried out anxiously, "These wreckage are dangerous! Let's retreat!!!"
Lin Qiye glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"retreat?"
He shook his head.
"No need."
As soon as the words fell—
"boom!!!"
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!
The aura was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, instantly enveloping the entire area!
Dark golden divine light surged from his body, transforming into profound runes that flashed wildly in the void!
Blood Demon Domain - Full Power!!!
"Buzz—!!!"
The invisible wave, centered on Lin Qiye, swept outwards in all directions!
The condensing debris ahead paused slightly under the influence of that fluctuation!
Their movements became sluggish, as if bound by some invisible force.
"this……"
Jiang Yulan stared in disbelief at the scene.
She knew her master was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong!
Simply releasing its aura is enough to immobilize these war god-level remains?!
"Blood Demon Domain..."
Lin Qiye murmured softly, his gaze sweeping over the bound remains.
"It seems that the beings within these divine ruins, though powerful, are not sentient."
"They are simply driven by some lingering will, instinctively driving away the intruders."
"Buzz—!!!"
A giant spear, about three hundred meters long and entirely black, materialized in Lin Qiye's hand.
The Void Annihilation Spear!!!
"go!"
He gave a soft shout, and his spear thrust out suddenly!
That shot carried enough power to destroy stars, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the void!
"boom!!!"
Wherever the spear tip passed, the coalescing debris was instantly pierced!
"hiss--!!!"
The remains let out mournful howls, their black fur surging wildly as they tried to resist the terrifying force.
however--
"broken!"
Lin Qiye's voice was icy.
The next moment—
"Bang!!!"
The debris, like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, shattered into countless fragments instantly under the terrifying power of the Void Annihilation Spear!
Black wreckage fragments flew through the air, a shocking sight.
however--
Just as these fragments were about to hit the ground—
They started decomposing like crazy!!!
Countless fine black hairs emerged from the fragments, rapidly spreading, intertwining, and coalescing in the air!
In the blink of an eye—
The shattered debris transformed into countless black snowflakes!
Countless black snowflakes drifted slowly down from the sky, like an eerie rain of death!
"this……"
Jiang Yulan's face turned deathly pale instantly.
She felt it!
That black snow contains some kind of eerie corrosive power!
Although the force was weak, it was spreading towards them at an extremely slow but steady pace!
"Oh no!!!" she exclaimed, "Something strange is going on with this black snow!!!"
The other female warriors also noticed the abnormality.
They could clearly feel the black snow falling on their protective aura, slowly corroding it!
"This power...it's so strange!!!"
"Our domain power is being eroded!!!"
"Damn it!! What are these black snow things?!"
The female warriors gasped in alarm, their faces filled with solemnity and fear.
They were already powerful beings at the level of interstellar war gods, yet they felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of these eerie black snowflakes!
however--
Just then—
"Buzz—!!!"
A vast and profound aura, as deep as the ocean, suddenly erupted from Lin Qiye's body!
Blood Demon Domain - Full Power!!!
The invisible wave, centered on Lin Qiye, swept outwards in all directions!
The entire area was dyed a dark gold color!!!
Under the influence of that fluctuation—
The auras of the ten female war goddesses, including Jiang Yulan, Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, Ying Yuehen, Sun Meiling, and Xiahou Wanqing, suddenly surged!
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
"boom!!!"
Ten powerful auras erupted simultaneously!
That's the unique aura of a Star Wars God!
The ten domain auras resonated with Lin Qiye's Blood Demon Domain, beginning to merge in an extremely subtle way!
"Buzz—!!!"
In the blink of an eye, ten domain auras perfectly merged into the Blood Demon Domain!
If we compare the Blood Demon Domain to a giant disc, then the domain auras of the ten female war goddesses are like ten smaller circles attached to this large disc, forming a perfect harmony with the Blood Demon Domain!
"This is!!!"
Jiang Yulan's eyes widened, her face filled with shock and ecstasy.
She felt it!
The auras of these ten individuals perfectly merged with their master's Blood Demon Domain!
That feeling was like—
They are not fighting alone, but are one with their master!
"Master!!!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Peace of mind."
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, yet it possessed a reassuring power.
As soon as the words fell—
The dark golden aura suddenly contracted, enveloping all the female war goddesses within it!
at the same time--
The slowly falling black snow began to melt away the moment it touched the Blood Demon's domain!
"hiss--!!!"
The black snow made a faint corrosive sound as it came into contact with the dark golden light.
however--
Although the black snow was eerie, it appeared so fragile before the terrifying power of the Blood Demon's domain!
They were firmly isolated by the Blood Demon's Domain, unable to get even a fraction closer to the female warriors!
and--
Under the continued scorching of the Blood Demon Domain, the black snow began to slowly decompose and melt, eventually turning into specks of black dust that dissipated into the void!
"efficient!!!"
Jiang Yulan exclaimed in surprise.
"Master's domain power is eradicating this black snow!!!"
The other female warriors also breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing the relief of surviving a disaster.
They could clearly sense that the black snow was frantically trying to corrode and enter the Blood Demon's domain.
But the power of the Blood Demon Domain is simply too terrifying!!!
Those eerie black snowflakes were utterly powerless before the Blood Demon's domain!
"Master is too strong!!!"
Ji Changyue's voice was filled with undisguised fervor.
"Thanks to our master being here, otherwise we might have..."
Yao Suyun didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
If their master hadn't been there, the ten of them would likely have met with dire consequences facing this eerie black snow!
Jiang Yulan looked at the slowly melting black snow above her head and felt a wave of fear wash over her.
The horror of those black, hairy remains was still vivid in her mind.
That eerie power, that voice that erodes the mind, and those black, fuzzy hairs that can corrode everything—
If their master hadn't intervened in time, they would probably be dead here!
The dark golden divine light of the Blood Demon Realm flowed slowly around him, completely isolating him from all strange and corrosive influences.
Behind Lin Qiye, ten female war goddesses followed closely, each with a face full of shock and awe.
The ground beneath my feet was dry, cracked, and black, as if some force had drained all life from it.
The air was filled with a nauseating, rotten smell. If it weren't for Lin Qiye's domain protecting them, they would probably have been completely corroded by that strange corrosive power long ago.
Along the way, they encountered more and more wreckage.
Each time, the black fuzz on the surface of the wreckage would surge wildly, coalescing into eerie figures that would attack them.
However, in Lin Qiye's eyes, these so-called attacks were nothing more than a one-sided massacre.
The Void Annihilation Spear swept across the sky, its jet-black blade carrying enough power to destroy stars, turning all debris into dust.
Before the Blood Demon Domain, the eerie black snow was as fragile as paper scraps, gradually worn away by the dark golden divine light.
"Master, where did these remains come from?"
Jiang Yulan couldn't help but ask.
She had already broken through to the Interstellar War God realm and considered herself to be knowledgeable and experienced, but everything before her eyes was completely beyond her comprehension.
What level of existence were these remains in life?
Why did it transform into such a bizarre form and bury itself in these ruins?
Lin Qiye shook his head and did not answer.
These remains are bizarre and varied, with no two of them being the same shape. They certainly don't seem like the legendary gods.
Just then—
Everyone stopped at the same time.
They saw it.
At the edge of that dark land ahead, there stands a tree.
a tree.
Just seeing the outline of that tree made Jiang Yulan feel an indescribable sense of suffocation well up in her heart.
That tree is too big.
It's so big that you wonder if it's really a tree.
It stands tall on the earth, its branches reaching straight into the sky, as if it wants to pierce through the entire heavens.
And the strangest thing is—
The surface of that tree even had a faint metallic sheen.
Ambilight.
Like liquid metal flowing slowly, it spreads from the roots to every branch.
"What...what is this...?"
Jiang Yulan's voice was trembling.
She had never seen such a spectacular sight.
The tree was so big that it made her soul tremble.
It was so great that it made her feel insignificant in the face of a deity.
"Is...is this really a tree...?" Ji Changyue murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock.
"A tree?" Yao Suyun shook her head. "This is probably not an ordinary tree..."
"So beautiful..." Ying Yuehen murmured softly, "So beautiful..."
Sun Meiling, Xiahou Wanqing, and the others stood there dumbfounded, their eyes fixed on the tree, unable to look away.
The beauty of this tree has exceeded their comprehension.
The flowing light, the swirling specks of light, the dreamlike colors…
So beautiful it doesn't seem real!
however--
Just as everyone was immersed in the awe-inspiring power of that tree—
Jiang Yulan suddenly noticed something.
Her pupils suddenly contracted!
"Master!!!" she cried out in alarm, her voice filled with barely concealed terror, "That tree... it's moving!!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
They all looked towards the tree—
Then, everyone saw it!!
The branches of that tree—
It's swaying slowly!
The branches, like countless giant pythons, hung down from the huge canopy, swaying and wriggling slowly in the air.
Each branch emitted a faint, flowing light, like a whip cast from metal, drawing strange arcs in the air.
And at the ends of those branches—
It actually has eyes!!!
Blood-red eyes!!!
They are slowly opening!
"No!!!"
Jiang Yulan gasped in surprise, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
"Those eyes!!!"
Ji Changyue, Yao Suyun, Ying Yuehen, Sun Meiling and others also saw it.
Those eyes—
Densely packed, covering every single branch!
Thousands upon thousands of eyes!!!
Every single eye was slowly turning, looking in their direction!
"Oh no!!!" Yao Suyun exclaimed, "Retreat quickly!!!"
They instinctively wanted to back away—
however--
"Buzz—!!!"
A terrifying aura suddenly erupted from that tree!
That aura was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, a hundred times more powerful than any of the black-haired monsters they had encountered before!
Under the impact of that aura, Jiang Yulan and the others trembled violently, unable to move an inch!
"No!!!"
Jiang Yulan gasped in surprise, her face filled with terror.
They were completely locked onto by that aura!
It's completely immobile!!!
"Master!!!" She instinctively looked at Lin Qiye, her voice filled with barely concealed fear, "Master!! Run!!!"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
On that eerie, giant metal tree, countless blood-red eyes were staring in their direction, so densely packed that it sent chills down their spines.
But Lin Qiye's eyes showed no emotion.
"Buzz—!!!"
His Blood Demon Domain surged once more, and the dark golden divine radiance transformed into a massive barrier, enveloping all the female war goddesses within it!
Protected by that barrier, Jiang Yulan and the others finally regained their ability to move.
They were panting heavily, their faces covered in cold sweat.
"What...what a terrifying aura..."
"That tree... what exactly is that thing...?"
"Master, run!!!"
Lin Qiye turned around and looked at them. "Deal with the other wreckage first."
His voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"I don't plan to touch this tree for the time being."
"Now is not the time."
He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the obstacles, landing on the top of the tree.
There, countless branches swayed in the air like tentacles, and countless blood-red eyes twinkled like stars.
"I'll come back when I'm ready..."
Lin Qiye murmured softly.
Now, what he has to do is very simple.
Continue to delve deeper into the ruins, clear away the wreckage, absorb their power, and enhance yourself and the female warriors around you.
We'll deal with this tree when the time is right.
"Walk."
Lin Qiye waved his hand. "Come with me."
He turned and walked in another direction, his Blood Demon Domain acting as an invisible barrier, keeping out all the strange corruption.
Jiang Yulan and the others exchanged glances and quickly followed.
They knew that once their master made a decision, he wouldn't change it.
Moreover, the master is right.
That tree was terrifying.
Going head-on now is not a wise move.
It's not too late to deal with it after they've improved their strength.
"Master, wait for us!"
Jiang Yulan quickly called out and hurried after him.
……
Time seemed to lose its meaning in this eerie ruin.
Jiang Yulan and the others could no longer remember how long they had followed Lin Qiye through these ruins.
One day? Ten days? One hundred days? One thousand days?
Or even longer?
They don't know.
All they knew was that during this time, they had gone through battle after battle and encountered wave after wave of bizarre remains.
Those black-haired monsters seemed endless, appearing in the thousands each time.
They come in all shapes and sizes; some are human remains, some are the bones of giant beasts, and some are so unique that it is impossible to tell what they were in life.
Without exception, they are all extremely powerful.
Each one is powerful enough to rival an ordinary interstellar war god.
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yulan and the others would have been in a tough fight against an enemy of this caliber.
However, here—
Under the influence of Lin Qiye's Blood Demon Domain—
They were almost invincible.
The power of the Blood Demon Domain is terrifying.
Those eerie black-haired monsters were not only greatly weakened within the domain, but were also suppressed by the domain's power, making them almost unable to move.
Jiang Yulan and the others only need to follow behind their master and easily harvest these remains to absorb all the power they contain.
Their strength has been improving rapidly during this period.
From the initial tension and fear when facing the remains of the black-haired creature, he can now almost stand on his own.
They have completely adapted to the rhythm of this historical site.
This adaptation is thanks to the absolute protection of the master's Blood Demon Domain.
As long as they are within their master's territory, they are immune to all strange invasions and can focus on dealing with the attacks of those black-haired remains.
More importantly, their masters will help them suppress the power of the debris, allowing them to absorb the energy of that debris more safely.
With each absorption, I can feel the power within my body increasing.
After each battle, significant progress can be seen.
This feeling of rapid advancement was irresistible to them.
however--
Jiang Yulan and the others discovered something that shocked them.
Their strength improved rapidly, but their master's improvement was even faster!
After each battle, the master's aura would surge dramatically!
The speed of that improvement was simply astonishing!!
Jiang Yulan had carefully sensed the aura emanating from her master and found that it was so powerful that she could not detect it.
Keep in mind, she is already a powerful interstellar war god.
And the master's aura is still increasing at a visible rate!
"What on earth is going on...?"
Jiang Yulan was completely baffled.
She couldn't understand why her master, who was already so strong, could improve so quickly.
Could it be... the power of those wreckage?
But they're absorbing the power of those remains too!
How could the master improve so much faster than them?
Just then, Ji Changyue suddenly spoke.
"Master, I have a guess."
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked at her.
"explain."
Ji Changyue bent down and picked up a piece of black metal fragment from the ground, examining it carefully.
Under the dark golden light of the Blood Demon Domain, the fragment gleamed with an eerie metallic luster.
"Master, I have been observing these remains throughout the journey."
Her voice carried a hint of solemnity.
"Your Majesty, I suspect this place might be..."
