Chapter 368 Cause and Effect, Slaughter! (Page 12)
The Dark Demon Octopus felt an unprecedented fear.
His massive, mountain-like body began to tremble violently, and his eight enormous tentacles, which blotted out the sky, twisted wildly, trying to tear through space to escape.
However, He was horrified to discover that the surrounding void had been completely sealed off—time had stopped, space had frozen.
Even His most proficient dark corrosive power was completely suppressed by some higher-level power, like a mud ox sinking into the sea!
"Want to escape?"
The voice of the Candle Dragon came from the depths of the River of Time, each word like a thunderous punishment from heaven, causing the dark origin within the Demon God Octopus to collapse wildly.
The next moment——
"boom--!!!"
A giant claw covered in golden dragon scales emerged from the void, its five claws like pillars supporting the sky, and each scale was covered with patterns of the laws of time and space.
Before the giant claws had even fully descended, the mere pressure was enough to cause the supposedly immortal body of the Demon God Octopus to begin to disintegrate!
"No--!!"
The demonic octopus let out a shrill roar, its eight tentacles lashing wildly in an attempt to resist.
However, the claws of the Candle Dragon gently clenched—
"Crack!"
The demon octopus's body shattered like fragile pottery! The source of darkness sprayed out like ink, but was ignited in mid-air by the flames of time on the claws of the Candle Dragon, turning into a sky full of ghostly blue fire rain.
His enormous eyeballs were cracked, and the Wheel of Time within his pupils shattered completely, scattering countless fragments of history that he had altered like glass.
Even more terrifying is that the power of the Candle Dragon not only erased His present, but also traced back along the causal line, burning away all traces of His existence in the past and future!
"How dare this wretched creature meddle in the space-time continuum?"
Zhulong's voice was like ancient ice, each word carrying the roar of the long river of time.
His dragon eyes reflected the causal lines of the Demon God Octopus's collapse—from its birth to its end, all traces of existence on all timelines were locked.
The dragon claws suddenly tightened—
"Boom——!!!"
In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent!
The massive, mountain-like body of the demon octopus was annihilated inch by inch by the dragon's claws, every inch of its flesh turning to nothingness under the burning of the fires of time.
His dark origin emitted a sharp wail as it tried to struggle, but was completely suppressed by the law patterns flowing on the dragon claws.
Those fragments of the Wheel of Time that once altered history are now like fragile glass, crumbling into the most primordial specks of light under absolute power.
And at the very moment the demon octopus was completely annihilated—
"Shh!"
Zhang Yun's true form vanished suddenly, as if he had never existed.
The lingering pressure of the Candle Dragon receded like the tide, leaving only a desolate battlefield.
Zhang Yun, dressed in red, seized this fleeting opportunity!
His eyes blazed with bloodlust, and the God-Slaying Spear in his hand trembled violently, its tip unleashing a ferocious aura that seemed to devour the heavens and earth.
The concepts of slaughter and the shattered laws of spacetime that had been broken up by the demon octopus were now being summoned and surging wildly toward the tip of the spear!
"Om-"
The God-Slaying Spear emitted a thirsty hum, and the ancient demonic runes on its body lit up one by one.
The killing laws belonging to the Blood God were devoured again, turning into crimson blood threads that wrapped around the gun barrel;
The remaining dark essence of the demon octopus was mercilessly shredded by the spear tip, refined into the purest destructive power.
Even more terrifying is that Zhang Yun, dressed in red, is experiencing a surge in power!
Every strand of his hair danced as if alive, with dark golden sparks of law bursting from the tips, scorching the surrounding space with fine cracks.
Those scattered strands of hair traced mysterious paths in the void, spontaneously forming a miniature array that frantically plundered the remaining energy between heaven and earth.
"boom--!"
The vertical line between his brows split open completely, revealing his blood-red vertical pupils!
Deep within his pupils, a strange, blood-red Dao seed was rapidly taking shape. The surface of this Dao seed was covered with ferocious demonic patterns, each pattern manifested from the purest laws of slaughter.
Even more terrifying, countless wronged souls could be vaguely seen wailing inside the Dao Seed—those were the myriad beings devoured by the God-Slaying Spear, now transformed into the most primal killing fuel!
"Forge of Laws, activate!"
With a deep shout, five illusory furnace phantoms suddenly appeared around Zhang Yun.
Each furnace corresponds to a law, and different colored Dao fires burn within it:
Time Forge (Silver-white): A miniature river of time flows within the forge, refining the fragments of the Wheel of Time remaining from the Demon God Octopus (Time Law +3%).
Space Furnace (Azure): The furnace walls are composed of countless space crystals, greedily devouring the spatial rifts on the battlefield (Spatial Law +2%).
Dark Furnace (Pitch Black): The furnace is churning with the most essential dark essence of the Demon God Octopus, so concentrated that it has become liquid (Dark Laws +80%).
Slaughter Furnace (Crimson): Inside the furnace, waves of blood surge, and countless ferocious soldiers rise and fall in the sea of blood, emitting deafening sounds of slaughter (Slaughter Law +50%).
Causal Furnace (Dark Gold): The furnace fire is the weakest, yet it flickers with the most mysterious light, struggling to refine a wisp of residual causal thread (Causal Law +1%).
The five furnaces suddenly began to resonate, unleashing a devastating energy surge!
"This time I've become incredibly wealthy! Not only have I gained an improvement in the laws of time and space, but I've also comprehended the laws of darkness and slaughter. Most terrifyingly, I've comprehended the law of cause and effect!"
A dark golden light suddenly burst forth in Zhang Yun's eyes, and a near-manic smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He sensed it—the causal rhythm that transcends all things!
"I see......"
He slowly raised his hand, his five fingers spread wide, and countless dark golden threads suddenly shot out from his fingertips. These threads were not physical entities, but rather chains of cause and effect that pierced directly through the void!
"Wow—"
In an instant, the entire world changed completely in his eyes!
Countless intricate networks of cause and effect unfolded before him, each line gleaming with the light of destiny:
Crimson Cause and Effect: The bond connecting him to the God-Slaying Spear, with countless souls annihilated by its blade hanging on its line.
Dark Cause and Effect: Spreading like a spiderweb into the depths of the void, it is a connection to the remnants of the Dark Demon God Octopus.
Golden Cause and Effect: The thickest one—hidden connection between him and the true form of the Candle Dragon.
Gray cause and effect: as thin as a spider's thread yet incredibly resilient, extending into the depths of the mist.
Even more terrifying, Zhang Yun discovered that his every action was influencing countless causes and effects:
Zhang Yun, dressed in red, trembled slightly at the fingertips, and three blood-red causal lines suddenly straightened, emitting a humming sound like harp strings.
The three demon generals, hundreds of miles away, suddenly froze—blood-red threads appeared out of thin air at their hearts, perfectly connecting with the causal threads at Zhang Yun's fingertips.
"Destroy."
With a soft whisper, the causal threads snapped inch by inch. The demonic bodies of the three demon generals were as if being kneaded by an invisible giant hand:
The first one burst open from the inside, its flesh and blood turning into a blood mist as it flew through the air.
The second one, though its bones were completely shattered, remained standing and turned into a pulp.
The third one suffered the worst; every drop of his blood turned into tiny red threads that backfired on him.
"call--"
Zhang Yun took a deep breath, and the gray causal lines trembled accordingly. Suddenly, blood gushed from Bru's seven orifices as he knelt down, and an ancient sealing array appeared on his back.
The runes were crumbling at an alarming rate, revealing what lay beneath the seal—
A pair of scarlet vertical pupils!
When the gaze fell upon the golden broken line, the river of time and space suddenly surged with towering waves.
A dragon's roar that seemed to span the ages shattered Zhang Yun's eardrums, but instead, his laughter grew even more ferocious. Dark gold tears of blood streamed down his cheeks, leaving burning trails in the void.
"I found you..."
The moment the black causal thread was grasped, a crisp sound of shattering porcelain came from the end of the thread.
The void suddenly distorted, and a projection beyond dimensions was forced to appear—
"Thousands of compound eyes"
Countless pupils opened simultaneously, each reflecting a different apocalyptic scene:
Stars were being entangled and devoured by tentacles.
A World Tree withered in black flames
Countless human faces melted in the void.
These eyes suddenly turned at the same time, all staring at Zhang Yun. Wherever their gaze fell, the space began to be polluted!
"Twisted Shadow"
The compound eyes collapsed into ever-changing shadows, displaying billions of indescribable shapes every second:
Sometimes like thousands of giant serpents mating.
Sometimes it resembles a deformed hand covered in mouths.
Sometimes like a throne dripping with pus
Ancient forbidden characters appeared on the surface of the shadow, and just glimpsing them caused Zhang Yun's mind to ache, and dark golden divine blood seeped from his seven orifices!
"Half a human face"
Ultimately, it coalesced into half a human face that seemed to be smiling but wasn't:
The left half is the face of a man as handsome as a god.
The right half is flesh that is constantly rotting and regenerating.
Half of a scarlet snake's forked tongue protruded from between its lips.
The moment the human face opened its mouth, the killing seed within Zhang Yun suddenly went berserk, almost causing him to self-destruct!
"boom--!"
Just as the truth was about to be revealed, the causal thread suddenly ignited.
It's not an ordinary flame, but a "conceptual fire" that displays a seven-colored, flowing pattern:
Broken fragments of laws floated within the flames.
Every Mars is a piece of history that has been erased.
Ashes formed blurry warning runes
From the burning ashes came whispers that sent shivers down the spines of the stars:
"You...shouldn't...spy..."
Each word triggered a terrifying mutation:
As Zhang Yun uttered the word "you," his left arm suddenly became transparent.
When the word "no" was uttered, a memory blank appeared in the surrounding space.
As the word "that" echoed, the God-Slaying Spear let out a mournful cry.
As the word "peep" was uttered, the seal within Blue's body suddenly went berserk.
As the character "探" ended, ashes formed a giant hand that reached out to grab Zhang Yun!
Just as the claw of concept was about to touch Zhang Yun in red—
"boom--!!!"
The river of time and space suddenly froze!
A dragon's roar, spanning the ages, reverberated from countless ages ago, forcefully cleaving the surface of the entire river of time.
Where the river flows backward, the true form of the Candle Dragon, which dwells at the end of time and space, is revealed—each of its scales is imprinted with a microcosm of a different era, and its whiskers stir up a temporal storm!
"evil creature!"
The Candle Dragon's left eye spun like a great sun, while its right eye held the rising and falling of a bright moon. It opened its mouth and exhaled a "Breath of Time" that spanned countless ages.
Wherever this dragon's breath passed:
The seven-colored fire instantly froze into ice crystals.
The giant hand made of ashes fell apart
The black causal thread was severed at its source.
Even the half-face showed a look of horror.
The backlash effect on Zhang Yun, dressed in red, began to reverse:
The transparent left arm solidified again.
The rotting left hand sheds its dead skin and is reborn.
The blind right eye regained its dark golden light
Even the rust on the God-Slaying Spear began to peel off.
The dragon's claws reached into the mortal world and gently squeezed—
"Crack!"
The remaining forbidden projection was completely shattered, turning into billions of light points that were sucked into the spacetime rift.
The starry river in the eyes of the Candle Dragon's true form reversed, and that gaze pierced through the soul of Zhang Yun in red, conveying the vicissitudes of countless years and a warning in an instant.
