#838 - The Queen of Evil
#838 - The Queen of Evil
If it hadn't been for his timely consumption of over a dozen substitute puppets, coupled with the Nirvana Saint Body's ability to transform into countless runes to dissipate those energies, he himself would likely have been caught in a life-or-death crisis.
Therefore, Li Chengfeng held the Earth Treasury King Buddha's summoning technique in deep awe.
Although this power was immense, its aftereffects were equally terrifying. It was best used sparingly, otherwise, once trapped within, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After all, during that summoning with the Earth Treasury King Buddha, Li Chengfeng had already formed an inextricable karmic connection with this powerful figure.
Once he truly matured, this karma would have to be repaid sooner or later.
And the Earth Treasury King Buddha's strength was such that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage even in a battle against the Ancient Immortal Realm. Li Chengfeng didn't want to be forced to become an enemy of the Ancient Immortal Realm because of this karma.
He only wanted to cultivate quietly, improve his strength, and bide his time until the day of ascension.
Even after ascending, he wouldn't offend those powerful sects, but would choose to hide quietly and continue cultivating the Way of苟 (Gǒu - meaning to live in a low-profile, cautious manner).
After all, the Spirit Realm was not the Human Realm. There, experts were as numerous as clouds. He might be able to reign supreme in the Human Realm, but in the Spirit Realm, he would probably only be a minor character.
Li Chengfeng had a clear understanding of this, so he cherished every opportunity to improve himself even more.
At this moment, he arrived in the Evil Spirit World, cautiously concealing his aura as he flew swiftly towards the territory of the three Evil Spirit Half-Step Spirit Emperors.
The ability to conceal his aura with the Dust of Time was even more unpredictable. Even a true Transformation Stage expert wouldn't be able to detect his arrival.
Li Chengfeng first investigated the strengths and weaknesses of the three Evil Spirit Half-Step Spirit Emperors, and after confirming there was no danger, he would then proceed with the assassination.
No matter what, 'caution is the parent of safety,' this ancient proverb resonated in Li Chengfeng's heart like a constant warning bell.
As he stepped into the Evil Spirit World, shrouded in darkness and evil, his senses, like those of a keen falcon, accurately captured the auras of the three evil spirits.
However, just like cunning foxes sensing the scent of a hunter, those evil spirits had already moved, disappearing without a trace, as if deliberately provoking his authority.
Li Chengfeng didn't feel discouraged. Like an indomitable cheetah, he tracked them all the way to the deepest part of the Evil Spirit World.
There, the evil aura was as thick as ink, almost solidifying, making one suffocate.
He vaguely sensed the auras of dozens of Half-Step Spirit Emperors. These powerful beings were like the brightest stars in the night sky, dazzling and dangerous.
And among these stars, there was an even more terrifying power, as profound as a black hole, surrounded by the stars as if they were paying homage, inspiring awe.
Li Chengfeng's heart tightened, sensing that something major was about to happen.
Xuanwu, that old fox, was definitely fueling this behind the scenes. He was as cunning as a fox, good at scheming. It seemed he was planning to play the Evil Spirit card.
Once the Evil Spirit army came out in full force, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, he used his Qinggong (light body skill), silently infiltrating like a ghost.
Those so-called forbidden formations were nothing but paper tigers in his eyes, easily traversed in the blink of an eye.
Like a lurking assassin, he cautiously observed his surroundings. When he looked closely, he couldn't help but gasp.
Millions of Evil Spirit soldiers were eager to fight, their eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, as if they wanted to devour the entire world.
In this Evil Spirit World, the battle between heroic spirits and evil spirits had never ceased. And the goal of the evil spirits was probably those heroic spirits.
Those who could become heroic spirits were all good people who had accumulated virtue, held firm beliefs, and devoted themselves to the human race during their lifetime.
After their death, they obtained the aura of heroic spirits, allowing them to continue guarding this land and the peace of the human race in the Evil Spirit World.
Now that the Evil Spirit Sect was coming out in full force, and they were all elites among elites, they must be brewing a big move, preparing to give the heroic spirits a fatal blow.
Li Chengfeng calmed down, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, quietly approaching the council hall.
He could see a dim, yellowish light emanating from the hall, filled with a chilling aura that made one's hair stand on end.
That light seemed to be the fire from hell, burning with sin and desire, inspiring fear.
Li Chengfeng cautiously approached the council hall, his figure seemingly merging into the surrounding darkness, silent and invisible.
The Dust of Time Qinggong allowed him to be like a falling feather, light and elusive.
Through the faint cracks, he glimpsed the scene inside the hall.
Dozens of Half-Step Spirit Emperors sat on the surrounding thrones, each throne radiating a dazzling evil light, like beacons in the darkness, but illuminating the path of sin.
Their faces wore ferocious smiles, their eyes flashing with greed and desire, as if they had already seen the imminent victory and revelry.
In the very center was a huge throne, tens of feet high, towering like a small mountain.
Sitting on it was a burly woman with a gloomy face and extremely obese figure.
She was like a mountain of flesh, beauty was completely irrelevant to her, the layers of flesh on her body were stacked upon each other, countless layers, as if accumulating endless sins and greed.
A tattered armor was draped over her body, which seemed out of place, but added a bit of ferocity and terror.
Her skin was blackish-green, exuding a strange aura, like a demon crawling out of hell.
Her eyes were sinister, scanning the surroundings like poisonous snakes, making people feel cold.
Her voice was hoarse and low, but with an unquestionable majesty: "This time Xuanwu wants to cooperate with us, truly displaying the power of summoning, letting us go to the real world to fight.
Xuanwu has extraordinary means, he is a ruthless person, and he has lived well for hundreds of thousands of reincarnation cycles. Such an old antique is worth our trust.
I have decided to cooperate with him. When the time comes, we will have countless blood food to devour.
We haven't eaten those plump blood food for many years.
Living in this corner, we have no development, no future.
Besides, he promised that as long as we open the ascension channel, we can also ascend. We must not miss such a good opportunity."
The dozens of Half-Step Spirit Emperors below were so excited that they almost jumped up.
Their faces were filled with fanatical expressions, as if they had already seen the moment when they would follow the Evil Spirit Empress to conquer the world.
Li Chengfeng also recognized three old acquaintances, their eyes flashing with excitement, but a trace of imperceptible trepidation was hidden deep in their eyes.
Although they were excited, they felt a faint unease in their hearts, as if something big was about to happen, but they couldn't figure out what it was for a while.
However, this unease was quickly submerged by the desire for wealth and glory. They believed that as long as they followed the Evil Spirit Empress, they would definitely be able to enjoy the luxury and glory of the world.
