The Great Terror

Chapter 417 Great Terror

(There was an error in the previous chapter. The village chief's visit to Shangcang was misremembered by Zhaizhu. It has been corrected.)

In Yankanghezhou, the sea fog is thick in the morning.

It was difficult for the soldiers defending Hezhou City to forget this scene many years later. The gray sea was filled with fog, and a huge narwhal jumped out of the harbor. The whale's huge body leaped over them, like a dark cloud covering the dock of Hezhou City.

Then the whale got smaller and smaller and crashed into the city.

The soldiers in the city had not yet woken up when they saw a huge shadow coming out of the fog on the sea. It was a tortoise-shell ship with various shells crawling all over the hull and a basalt flag fluttering in the sea breeze.

The big ship was heading straight for the dock in the harbor and was about to crash into it when suddenly the tortoise-shell ship rose dozens of feet off the ground, grew four legs, flew over the towering ships, and rumbled into the city.

The soldiers in the city stared blankly at the large ship passing by them, only to see that there was a Teng Snake coiled on the ship, the giant snake flapping its wings and coiling around the mast. The soldiers on the ship looked strange, with a human body on a turtle's back and a Teng Snake wrapped around their bodies, forming a strange symbiotic relationship.

A strange thing also happened in Tanzhou. Tanzhou was famous for its thousands of pools, which were so deep that one could not see the bottom. On this day, the pools suddenly dried up, and the water and fish in them disappeared. Many people looked into the pools and saw bronze doors at the bottom of each of the pools.

The governor of Tanzhou ordered people to go to the bottom of the pond to check, and they reported back: "The bronze door at the bottom of the pond is sealed and cannot be opened."

The prefect was in doubt. Suddenly, one of the bronze doors opened and a man covered in scales walked out. He turned around and locked the door again, shouting into the room, "I know, I know, you annoying woman! The Emperor called me, and I am here to help as promised by our ancestors... I am not brave or aggressive, I am the best tempered person in our Earthly Tribe! What are you looking at? If you look again, I will smash your knees with one punch... I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about these country bumpkins up there... You know how to lock the door, but you are more nagging than my mother!"

The prefect of Tanzhou and others were standing by the pond, only to see a five-foot-tall dwarf with a face full of flying beard carefully lock the bronze door and then come ashore.

The prefect of Tanzhou stepped forward and asked curiously, "This senior brother..."

The scaly dwarf looked at him warily and said, "Giant, don't even think about attacking us Earthwalkers. We have already made a rule that the ground belongs to you giants, and the underground belongs to us."

The prefect of Tanzhou was dumbfounded, but he saw the dwarf shouting to the bottom of the pond: "Wife, let the water flow, so that these giants won't take over our underground world!"

Suddenly, waves surged in the deep pools, and soon all the deep pools were filled with water. The waves were blue and there were many fish in the water.

The prefect of Tanzhou was about to ask when he suddenly saw the dwarf dive into the ground and disappear.

The prefect of Tanzhou and others were dumbfounded: "There are still people living underground? How did they survive underground?"

In Liuzhou in the south, people often worship the Willow Fairy, and there was an incident where a willow tree became a spirit and turned into a green dragon and flew away.

Strange things happened frequently all over the country, and people in the villages were talking about it for a while.

"Mu'er, this is the formation I saw in the sky that day. I didn't have time to examine it carefully, so this is all I can remember."

In the villa, the butcher handed Qin Mu the sun, moon and stars he had drawn in the past two days. Qin Mu's scalp tingled, and he saw that the hall was filled with all kinds of pictures. He picked up a star map. The star drawn by the butcher looked like a star on the outside, but it had an extremely complex structure inside, which was quite complicated.

This star is Kuixing, and its formation pattern vaguely shows the image of a ghost with a black face and fangs. He holds a pen in one hand and a golden seal in the other, and there is a fish and dragon altar under his feet.

He picked up another star map. This star map was of the Tanlang star. The formation showed a dragon and turtle pattern, and there was also an altar under his feet.

Qin Mu frowned and looked at the star maps one by one. Most of these star patterns had an altar formed by a formation, and the images of gods and demons were formed by formations inside the stars.

"What are these divine and demonic formations and altars used for? Do they make the heavens move, or do they have other purposes?"

He felt a little uneasy in his heart. If he just wanted to maintain the fake celestial phenomena in the sky, it wouldn't need to be so complicated. He only needed to let these formations glow.

Why make it so complicated when it can be done so easily?

"These altars are somewhat similar to the bone altars I used to summon the Demon King Dutian, but the formation structure is different."

Qin Mu had a creepy feeling. There were countless stars floating in the sky, and countless altars were hidden in them. The altars were used to summon gods and demons.

Just imagine, if one day there is a blood sacrifice and these gods and demons descend, and tens of thousands of gods and demons descend to the mortal world, how terrifying would that be?

Not to mention Yankang, I'm afraid even the Kaihuang era would have been destroyed, right?

"It is not worth it for Yankang to spend so much effort on defense and monitoring. So what exactly is this false celestial phenomenon defending against?"

He couldn't figure it out.

The star maps and formations drawn by the butcher were incomplete. He did not have time to study these false celestial phenomena thoroughly before encountering the gods guarding the celestial maps. However, he still drew a rough outline.

Qin Mu suppressed his shock and continued to examine the formations. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and he suddenly asked, "Grandpa Tu, what is your attainment in formations?"

The butcher said honestly: "He is so-so, no better than a blind man."

"I'll ask Blind Grandpa to take a look!"

Qin Mu called the blind man over and asked him to take a look. He said, "These formations are very strange. I have never seen such formations before. Blind Grandpa, have you ever seen a similar formation structure?"

The blind man browsed through the pictures one by one, his face becoming more and more solemn. He shook his head and said, "I have never seen this kind of formation structure. It is weird, really weird. The formations in these star maps are used to construct the bodies of gods and demons, but they can emit light like the sun, moon and stars. This formation structure is not simple. Unfortunately, none of these formations are correct..."

The butcher said: "The time was too short, this is all I can remember."

The blind man examined it carefully and calculated, "These formations construct the bodies of gods and demons, but in fact, they also deconstruct the bodies of gods and demons. Butcher, do you understand what this means?"

The butcher pondered, "You mean, if the supernatural powers are arranged according to this formation structure, they can have the power of gods and demons?"

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly. Asking the Qi Refiners to arrange the formations according to their structures and activate them was equivalent to having gods and demons in the world?

So how powerful would this formation be when activated?

"It's a pity that it's not a complete formation."

The blind man shook his head and said, "You have drawn so many, but none of them is complete. Besides, there is another possibility."

There was an astonishing light in his eyes. He walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "These formation structures are most likely the paths for the vital energy of those gods and demons. The formations in every star in the sky may be a complete set of gods and demons' skills! A huge treasure house is hidden in the sky. It's a pity that I can't go there to take a look in person..."

Qin Mu's heart was pounding. A star represented a martial art of divine and demonic level?

How many suns, moons, stars and constellations are there in the sky?

Doesn’t this mean that there are tens of thousands of divine and demonic skills hidden in the Heavenly Map?

The three major holy places, Taoism, the Great Leiyin Temple and the Tiansheng Sect, their unique skills are all praised as the methods to become gods, Buddhas and demons. The fact that they have been able to stand till now shows that the role of these three unique skills is extraordinary.

And in the sky, there are tens of thousands of skills that are not inferior to the three great skills. It’s exciting to think about it!

However, after the excitement, what Qin Mu felt was fear and terror.

Great fear, great terror.

"I hope this sky will never be stained red with blood. Otherwise..."

He trembled to his core. When the sky of Yankang Kingdom was dyed red with blood, the sun, moon and stars in the sky would turn into terrifying gods and demons falling from the sky!

This is simply a doomsday scene!

Suddenly, Qin Mu felt something and looked towards the east, where he saw a huge tortoise-shell ship sailing and speeding among the mountains and rivers. The giant tortoise was like a ship, a flying snake was flapping its wings, and a large flag was flying.

Imperial Master Yankang also noticed the movement, came to his side and looked towards the east, only to see the water like a giant wave, on which stood a burly man with his chest bare, holding a golden horn spear.

In the sky, a woman with wings on her back was flapping her wings. As her wings fluttered, wind and thunder rolled, and lightning roared.

"Here it comes, as expected..."

The village chief floated up, showing excitement: "I am old, but they are not old yet, they are still alive..."

The tortoise-shell boat arrived outside the villa and suddenly stopped. One by one, the members of the Xuanwu tribe with snakes wrapped around their turtle backs flew down from the tortoise-shell boat.

The huge tortoise-shell ship was dancing with a flying snake. Then the bow of the ship shook, and a huge dragon head emerged. Fire and thick smoke spewed out from its mouth and nose. Its eyes darted around and it shouted loudly: "Xuan Shengwu of the Xuanwu Clan, come to see the Human Emperor!"

The strong man riding the big wave lowered the waves rapidly under his feet, and landed in front of the villa with a crash, and the waves disappeared behind him: "Kun King of the Kun Clan, come to see the Human Emperor!"

The woman in the air folded her wings, and the wind and thunder were all hidden under her wings, and she landed on the ground: "Wing King of the Winged Clan, come here by invitation!"

Qin Mu quickly took out the Human Emperor Seal, held it in his hand, and stepped forward, saying, "I am very grateful that you have come from afar. Please come into the manor and have a chat."

King Kun, King Yi, and Xuan Shengwu were surprised. The Xuanwu tortoise-shell ship suddenly vibrated, became smaller and smaller, and turned into a majestic man with a snake wrapped around a tortoise back. He whispered, "The Human Emperor is getting younger and younger. He used to be a middle-aged man..."

King Kun said: "Brother Shengwu, the Human Emperor you mentioned is probably dead. Humans are not like us and cannot live that long."

Xuan Sheng Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's good that he's dead, it's good that he's dead. That guy was always looking for trouble, always being cynical and asking us to do this and that. It's so annoying."

The village chief originally wanted to float out to see his old friend, but upon hearing this he froze and remained silent.

Suddenly, a voice came from underground, shouting: "The leader of the Earth God Clan, Tu Xing... Oops!"

The earth shook, and a messy head popped out in front of the villa. There was a big bloody bump on the head, and it was furious: "Who is so heartless that he can make the stone so hard?"
