Chapter 331 The Power of the Plague God, The Demon Clan's Actions
Chu Lengyu transformed into a stream of light, traversing layers of clouds and mist, and finally arrived at the Gale Layer.
The storm here was more violent than she had ever seen before.
The gale, like thousands of sharp blades, relentlessly cut through the protective shield formed by the wind-avoiding beads, emitting sharp, chilling sounds.
She had to devote some of her attention to controlling the bead and strengthening the protective barrier.
At the heart of the storm, a jet-black statue of the God of Plague hovered in the air, emitting a chilling glow.
The statue's appearance was indistinct, and it was impossible to distinguish between men, women, young and old; it could only be vaguely discerned as a human figure.
Its hair was as thick as vines, entwined all over its body, like a snake's nest with thousands of snakes coiled around it, which was terrifying.
Countless fine magical runes flowed across the surface of the statue, and a series of low sounds emanated from it, like ancient incantations being chanted or the whispers of demons entering the ears, making one's mind uneasy.
To gaze at it is like gazing into an abyss.
Chu Lengyu's spiritual awareness kept warning her, as if something was trying to squeeze into her sea of consciousness. She frowned and looked away.
At this moment, the statue had absorbed countless souls captured by the pillars of demonic smoke, and its power was constantly increasing, like a giant abyss beast slowly awakening, with a terrifying aura spreading through the gale layer.
Ji Ying stood far to the side, her gaze fixed on the statue of the God of Plague, feeling its power grow. Her eyes shone with fanaticism, like a believer seeing a god.
The statue had just awakened and had not even begun to project its image yet, but the aura it exuded already inspired awe.
Even the slightest bit of power from the parasitic plague god is enough to destroy this lower realm!
"Hmph, you've finally arrived." Ji Ying's face was filled with triumphant satisfaction. "Now, with the power of the God of Plague, let's see how you can contend with me."
Chu Lengyu glanced coldly at Ji Ying, then quickly returned her gaze to the statue that emitted a ghostly light.
She could clearly sense how vast and powerful the power contained within the statue of the plague god was, surpassing any opponent she had ever encountered before.
Moreover, this force is constantly growing, like a flood about to burst forth, surging and unstoppable.
But she felt no retreat, only the determination to fight.
"Do you think you can defeat me with this statue?" Chu Lengyu's voice was calm, but with an undeniable firmness. "You underestimate me."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying sneered, her smile full of disdain.
He was convinced that she was just bluffing and trying to distract him with her words.
He was already certain that she would die today, and the entire lower realm would fall into his hands.
He said no more, muttering incantations and forming hand seals.
As he chanted the incantation, the light from the statue of the plague god grew brighter and brighter.
In an instant, a powerful force surged out of the statue, like a beast breaking free of its restraints, roaring as it charged toward the sky.
This force coalesced in the air, forming a gigantic demonic shadow. It was indistinct, like a chaotic cloud, but the oppressive feeling emanating from it was real and suffocating.
Seeing this, Ji Ying's lips curled into a cruel smile, and she shouted, "Let me show you the power of the God of Plague!"
With a wave of his hands, the demonic shadow roared and pounced on Chu Lengyu like a servant obeying a command.
Chu Lengyu's expression was solemn; she knew this battle would be the most difficult one she had ever faced in her cultivation.
She took a deep breath, mobilized all her spiritual power, and the peerless sword in her hand emitted a dazzling light at that moment. The surrounding demonic energy melted away like spring snow meeting the blazing sun.
"Boom!" The two forces collided in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
Even in the mortal realm below, the terrifying sound, like thunder in broad daylight, could be heard.
The storm in the gale layer suddenly dissipated under the impact of this force, and then became even more violent.
Chu Lengyu's body was pushed back more than ten feet by the impact, but she quickly regained her footing, her eyes flashing with fighting spirit.
Do you think you're the only one with a trump card?
……
After Ji Ying relayed the news of the Demon Abyss Water back to her mother clan, it caught the attention of the high priest.
He immediately published the coordinates of the new Nether.
The release of the coordinates immediately caused a huge uproar within the Parasite Clan.
Many powerful figures within the clan, whether they were elders in seclusion or ambitious young talents, were deeply moved.
The legend of the Abyss Water has been circulating among the demons for a long time.
It can not only greatly enhance the power of demons, but also help people break through bottlenecks and reach higher realms.
What's even more alluring is that legend has it that it has an inseparable connection with the God of Plague, seemingly implying that if one can possess it, one might gain the favor of the God of Plague, or even... reach the unattainable realm of the demon god.
Greed gleamed in the eyes of every powerful demon.
If the legend is true, the value of the waters of the Demon Abyss is immeasurable.
It is the treasure they have been dreaming of, the opportunity for their power to leap forward, and their hope to embark on the path of the demon god.
At this moment, the entire parasitic race was in an uproar because of this news.
However, not all parasites are capable of immediately traveling to that world coordinate.
It should be understood that the characteristic of parasites is that they usurp the nest of others, using the bodies of others to enjoy worldly blessings.
This is why the parasites are widely and scattered, hiding in every corner and enjoying the convenience and resources brought by their stolen identities.
The higher one's level, the more it proves that this identity was hard-won and must never be easily exposed, otherwise one will be attacked by the crowd, and all previous efforts will be wasted.
Therefore, when news of the Demon Abyss Water arrived, some powerful members of the Parasitic Clan, though unwilling, could only sigh helplessly due to the great distance.
They either reign supreme in distant star systems, enjoying glory; or they explore ancient and precious secret realms, pursuing the elusive mystery of immortality.
For these powerful individuals, heading to that unknown lower realm was undoubtedly an adventure, or rather, a gamble that could cost them everything.
They could only communicate with other members of their tribe through the sound transmission stone, or send their subordinates to try and get a share of the spoils.
But in those worlds that were closer in distance, several powerful parasitic beings made a decision immediately.
They decided to travel to the lower realm coordinates immediately, either by star shuttle or by using other precious magical artifacts, to seize this rare opportunity.
While the Parasitic Clan was in turmoil over the news of the Abyss Water, the Scourge Clan's spies also noticed this unusual movement.
The Jiu Clan knew they had lost a precious portion of the Demon Abyss Water, which was not only a rare treasure but also the hope they had painstakingly sought. Therefore, they had been secretly monitoring the Parasitic Clan's movements for some time.
Persistence pays off, and they have indeed discovered the clues.
Upon learning the news, the clan elders immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
"We must reclaim the Waters of the Abyss; it concerns the honor and future of our Jiu Clan," an elder said angrily.
"Not only that, we also want to teach the Parasite Clan a lesson, to let them know that the Blame Clan is not to be trifled with," another elder added.
His fist slammed heavily on the table, making a dull thud.
The Jiu Clan acted decisively and swiftly.
Their only goal is to reclaim the waters of the Abyss and take revenge on the Parasite Clan.
Coincidentally, Meizu's female character Ying has "a wide circle of friends." Among her "friends" is one person who holds a high position in the Jiu clan and even has access to the clan's core secrets.
On that day, when she learned about the Water of the Demon Abyss, a burning desire flashed in her eyes.
"The waters of the Demon Abyss, such a rare treasure, how can we easily miss it?" Nü Ying said softly.
Her gaze, subtly alluring, swept over her friends, seeking their support.
Although Nü Ying was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, her friends were all extraordinary.
They come from either the ancient demon race or the mysterious spirit race, and each of them possesses unique skills and valuable treasures.
Moreover, she also had various treasures that some of her former friends had willingly given her.
She was confident that she could protect herself even when she was in danger.
"Ying'er, since you desire the waters of the Demon Abyss, I will do everything in my power to help you." The high-ranking member of the Jiu Clan spoke first, gazing at Ying with fascination.
Not to be outdone, the golden lion demon cultivator declared boldly, "While the waters of the Demon Abyss are indeed precious, they hold little use for our demon race. Don't worry, Ying'er, I will definitely retrieve them for you!"
"Only the waters of the Demon Abyss are worthy of Ying'er!" the others chimed in.
"Hehe, no rush, let them try first," Nüying said confidently.
She toyed with a communication stone in her hand, a sly glint in her eyes: "We've got the coordinates for the lower realm. Let's sneak over there and watch the tigers fight from the sidelines. Wouldn't that be satisfying?"
