Chapter 865: Two Kinds of Divine Power
"Old man, what do you want to do?"
The man in silver armor seemed to have noticed something, and there was a hint of panic in his tone.
The old man ignored it and continued to mutter something.
His body began to glow, as if he was integrating with the forces of nature.
"This is..." Changsheng suddenly exclaimed, "He is going to sacrifice himself to detonate all the divine power."
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
Changsheng subconsciously wanted to sacrifice the longevity bracelet.
But after looking at the dim bracelet, he could only back away and issue a warning:
"Quickly retreat! The power of this self-destruction..."
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying wave of energy swept through.
The old man's body turned into little bits of light and dissipated, but the light did not disappear, but turned into countless fine threads, spreading in all directions.
"Damn it!"
The man in silver armor roared angrily, trying to force a breakout.
But those lights have completely blocked this space.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the entire valley shook violently.
A terrifying energy storm swept across, and everyone was driven back by the force.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, only a huge pit remained.
The mountain spirit staff lay quietly at the bottom of the pit, and the luster on its surface had dimmed a lot.
The figure of the man in silver armor has disappeared.
"He escaped?" Yan Yue asked warily.
Changsheng shook his head:
"I don't know...but he's certainly no better."
"With this level of self-destruction, even if he is protected by the power of Yuanyuan Jade, he will not be able to escape unscathed."
With that said, she walked towards the pit and picked up the mountain spirit staff.
"What a pity..." She sighed softly, "Another successor has fallen."
Li Yang looked at the wooden staff and suddenly asked: "In this case, the mountain spirit staff..."
"It will choose a new successor, but fortunately it is in our hands now." Changsheng sighed,
"But the most important thing now is..."
She turned to the crowd:
"We must hurry up and find other successors."
"The battle just now must have attracted a lot of people's attention. We must leave here before other forces arrive."
Everyone nodded.
Li Yan looked at Li Yang and asked, "Where to go next?"
Li Yang closed his eyes for a moment and slowly shook his head:
"The mountain guard's self-destruction left the surrounding area filled with remnants of divine power."
"Even Yuanyuan Jade cannot find the correct target under such interference."
"As for now... let's find a place to rest for a while."
"We need to think carefully about what happens next."
The other people nodded without any comments.
Then, carrying the mountain spirit staff, the four of them continued heading northeast.
However, what they didn't know was that shortly after they left, a slender figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
The man looked at the devastated battlefield with a meaningful smile on his face:
"The successor to the Spring God is dead..."
"Jumang's divine power is released."
"Although it is an unexpected situation...but for us, it is a huge gain."
"The remaining successors to the divine power have to be dealt with one by one..."
"We will be...the final winners."
After saying that, he dropped something on the ground, and then the figure disappeared into the void, as if it had never appeared.
...
Several people found a hidden cave nearby to take a rest.
"This mountain spiritual staff..."
Changsheng placed the wooden stick in front of everyone, "Now it has lost most of its power."
"I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to return to its full glory."
Li Yang stared at the simple wooden staff, thoughtfully:
"What the mountain guard said just now...do you have any thoughts?"
"Maybe..." Changsheng looked at him,
"Like me, he also received the message from the star realm."
"Star prophecies have always been mysterious, but they are often accurate, and they are all related to huge changes..."
Before he finished speaking, the mountain spirit staff suddenly emitted a faint light.
Everyone looked alertly and saw a line of ancient writing appearing on the staff.
"This is..." Changsheng identified carefully, "Some prayers?"
After reading a little bit, she slowly began to read:
"In the beginning there was a tree, born in the east... Its name is Fusang, it supports the sun and moon, and protects all directions..."
Li Yang asked: "Fusang...is related to the Golden Crow?"
"Indeed." Changsheng nodded,
"Legend has it that fusang grows on the shores of the East China Sea and is an important presence in maintaining the movement of heaven and earth."
"And the Mountain Spirit Staff is made from a branch of Fuso."
At this point, she paused briefly: "But the most important thing..."
"In legend, the hibiscus tree is where the Golden Crow lives."
"And Daxia, which is connected to many planes at the same time, is where the Golden Crow's divine power belongs."
Li Yang was stunned when he heard this: "You mean..."
"I'm not sure..." Changsheng said, "But maybe this is what the mountain guard meant in the end."
"After all, among the few people present, only your abilities are most similar to his."
"Maybe this is destiny..."
"Maybe you will be the new successor of the Mountain Spirit Staff."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden stick suddenly vibrated violently.
A beam of emerald green light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire cave.
At the same time, the fragments of the origin jade in Li Yang's body began to resonate, emitting dazzling golden light.
Two completely different energies intertwined in the air, forming a strange picture.
It was a huge tree that stood tall and straight, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and radiant brilliance.
Above the treetops, a golden sun was slowly rising.
"This is..." Li Yang looked at the scene and felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
It seemed that something was calling him.
Yan Yue on the side whispered: "In this case, the behavior of the mountain guard is not inexplicable."
"The mountain spirit staff chose you as the new successor."
Li Yang slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the wooden staff that emitted a soft light.
In an instant, a warm force surged into his body.
Those complex laws of nature seemed to become clear and visible.
He could feel the vitality of every plant around him, and even hear their voices.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the natural power he originally mastered, but it is completely different.
It is deeper and more original.
"Is this... the power of a complete artifact?" He whispered to himself.
Changsheng nodded: "But the mountain spirit staff is very weak now."
"It will take some time to really exert its power."
"And..." She was a little worried, "You now have two kinds of divine power in your body at the same time."
"This situation is unprecedented, and you need to be careful."
Li Yang nodded slightly: "I understand."
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly said: "Someone is coming."
Everyone looked at the cave entrance vigilantly.
I saw a figure in a cloak, walking slowly.
The man was thin, and his face was hidden under the shadow of the hood, so he couldn't see clearly.
But the breath he exuded made everyone feel uneasy.
"Who are you?" Yan Yue asked sternly.
The man didn't answer, but just chuckled.
"Haha... Really interesting."
"So that's how it is. Is this the arrangement of fate?"
"It seems that the death of that old guy has made you successful."
Li Yang held the Mountain Spirit Staff tightly and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The man slowly raised his head, revealing a pale face:
"I am the deacon of the Chaos Cult..."
"I have come to ask for advice under the command of the Supreme Will."
