Chapter 467 - 322: Plowing the Court and Sweeping the Den, the Statue in the Imperial Palace’s Secret Chamber!_2
"Boom!" An explosion sounded, striking directly upon the barrier, causing a violent fluctuation to ripple through it.
The condensed metallic luster, under the intense burning of purple flames, almost instantly melted into liquid and dripped down from the barrier, falling into its interior.
A hole the size of a half-person appeared on the barrier, and through the brightness, one could clearly see what was inside the barrier.
A huge statue emitting a bloody light!
However, the whole statue was shrouded in a layer of death energy, obscuring the true appearance of the figure.
And as the barrier cracked open with a large hole, strands of black death energy spread from within, coupled with a putrid stench.
"Is this an Evil God statue?"
Number Two furrowed his brows, asking with some uncertainty.
It was because the statue exuded a bloody aura, making it obvious that it was something wicked at a glance.
"A humanoid Evil God? The records at Dragon Academy do not mention a humanoid Evil God.
Moreover, this rotting smell reminds me of certain things, let’s go down and take a look," he said.
Going down by himself was out of the question, so Lord Zi gave a look, and Lao Tie immediately understood, leaping down in a flash.
He passed directly through the hole torn in the barrier and entered the space below. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Lao Tie examined the area while recording the scene below, then relayed the footage to Lord Zi in the grand hall.
"It’s indeed an Evil God, even taking a close-up only reveals a blurry phantom."
The first thing he looked at in the footage was the large statue in the central position.
The statue, possibly five meters tall, was extremely slender with a woman’s appearance yet radiated an aura of bloodthirsty energy.
Even though the statue appeared blurry, the eyes on its face were distinctly clear, a pair of blood-red eyes!
In the blurred footage, what caught Zi Liyuan’s attention as much as the blood-red eyes was a pair of sharp fangs protruding from its mouth!
"This thing, why does it look so much like a zombie?"
As Lao Tie continued filming, the surrounding scenes also came into their view.
The ground was covered with a layer of bone fragments, and on the walls around this space, four paintings were carved!
The first painting depicted a great battle with various demons and ghosts converging on one image, looking immensely terrifying.
The second painting showed a woman constantly surrounded by blazing flames, leaving scorched earth in her wake wherever she went.
The third painting portrayed an endlessly raging giant river, with a woman, in flames, standing on one side of the river.
In the fourth painting, a mountain of corpses was recorded, with the woman standing atop stained with blood, holding a corpse in her hands, her head slightly lowered, leaning towards the corpse’s neck.
"A blood-sucking Evil God that can also wield the power of fire, I have not seen any record of such an Evil God."
Number Two shook his head and transmitted Lao Tie’s filmed footage to Shen Yurou in the sky, asking if she recognized which Evil God this was.
However, he soon received a reply from Xiao Yurou that she did not know which Evil God it was.
But at this moment, Zi Liyuan, watching the footage captured by Lao Tie, was already feeling a storm surge in his heart. Your next chapter awaits on empire
Despite the similarities between Blue Star and Earth, the world where the game invaded reality had significant differences in history!
And the myths and legends of Blue Star were incomplete, with only sparse records of top-tier deities like Pangu forging the heavens, Hongjun spreading the Tao, Nuwa mending the sky, and Hou Tu reincarnating, while most others were not passed down.
But now Zi Liyuan, seeing the statue and the four carved paintings, already had the name of a great deity swirling in his mind.
Ba! (Female ghost)
In Earth’s mythology, she descended from the heavens to help the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan fight against the demon god Chi You!
Legend has it that Ba, clad in cyan clothes with fiery flames swirling around her, moved like the wind, leaving scorched earth wherever she passed!
Some called her a disaster star, others called her the ancestor of zombies, and still others called her a divine maiden.
What confused Zi Liyuan was that although the mythology of Blue Star mentioned the Three Sovereigns of heaven, earth, and humanity, there were no records of the deities and demons under the Three Sovereigns.
But why is there now a statue of a female Ba?
And more surprisingly, the statue of the female Ba is found in the home of the Japanese, hidden in such a secluded spot, being worshipped as an Evil God.
The bone remnants on the ground, aren’t they what’s left after the ritual offerings?
"You all wait up there, I’ll go down and take a look,"
Instructing No. 2 and the others to stay still, Zi Liyuan flipped over and jumped into the large hole that Lao Tie had created.
Passing through the barrier, he landed on it, kicking up a layer of bone dust.
"It looks like it hasn’t been worshipped in a long time,"
The space was slightly dim, but with Lord Zi’s current attributes, he could already see in the dark.
After just a casual glance around, Zi Liyuan was even more certain of his speculation.
This statue was indeed carved in the likeness of a female Ba!
Moreover, the statue was anything but ordinary; it was undetectable by Spirit, and even Lord Zi’s use of "Elemental Map" and "Death’s Eye" detection skills revealed no information.
However, after he entered the barrier, his Spirit felt a faint sense of pressure.
At first, Zi Liyuan thought it was the barrier’s suppression of the creatures inside, but when he focused on the female Ba statue, the faint pressure became just a bit stronger.
At the same time, he felt as though a huge stone was pressing on his heart, causing him a bout of chest tightness.
Taking a deep breath, Zi Liyuan approached the statue to try and see it clearly, but it was as if his eyes had been covered with a layer of translucent gauze, and he could not make out the face of the statue.
He reached out and touched the statue; the slight sensation of scalding heat made his hand somewhat uncomfortable.
"It’s not carved from stone, but some unknown material,"
The texture was unique, and the statue was incredibly hard.
With Zi Liyuan’s immense physical strength, which could easily crush highly durable metal ingots, he could not scratch the statue in the slightest.
"This is so strange, no matter how you got here, now that I’ve found you, you’re mine!"
After taking a deep breath, Zi Liyuan promptly stowed the female Ba statue into his Spatial Backpack.
"Lao Tie, cut out the carved murals around us whole and pack them to take with us!"
Lao Tie got to work while Zi Liyuan summoned a gentle breeze to blow the bone remnants out through the breach in the barrier.
After clearing the chamber of its refuse, countless runes were revealed on the ground.
"It really is a sacrificial array, just don’t know if offering sacrifices to the female Ba will elicit a response,"
Mythological legends! If one could receive a response from the female Ba, wouldn’t it mean the female Ba actually exists?
And would that mean the ancient Celestial Court from the legends also exists?
Blue Star and Earth share the same mythological tales; could there be a connection between the two?
Having transmigrated and lived on Blue Star for eighteen years, Lord Zi still occasionally missed the life on Earth in his former life.
Despite various complaints about Huaxia, after leaving, he found he missed that extremely safe country.
After all, on Blue Star, extraordinary powers were rampant, wild monsters were common, and there was always the fear of being hunted by the Coalition of Nations, forcing Lord Zi to travel back and forth and try to eradicate his enemies completely.
For example, the Japanese, who relentlessly pursued him when he was still weak, with the intent to take him down; how could he possibly spare them?
Therefore, the extinction of the Japanese clan would be the best outcome!
After recording several photos of the array on the ground and then helping Lao Tie to take down and pack the carved paintings from the four walls, the pair returned to the main hall.
"Let’s go; it’s time to find the Dog Emperor and wipe out all these Japanese in one fell swoop!"
With a host of wives and a swarm of Undead BOSSes, Zi Liyuan headed towards another direction of the Dog Emperor’s palace.
You have to say, these Japanese are really good at hiding, and they truly know how to conceal their strength.
