Giant

Chapter 303 Tyrant Giant

In front of them, there was a vast underground space. A mountain stood in front of them, which looked like a sculpture of the upper body of a giant. The sculpture was extremely huge, and the whole body was made of black stone, but it was carved with a nose, eyes, mouth and ears.

The sculpture only reveals the upper torso to the chest; the lower body is probably buried underground or not carved out.

Behind this sculpture, an ancient ship is suspended in the air, motionless. One side of the ship is underground, while the other side has a huge portal with a honeycomb-like seal in the portal. The bow of the ship passes through the seal and enters another world.

That seal should be the Nether City Seal that Bai Fu mentioned.

The ancient gods connected the real world and the underworld here, which resulted in the invasion of underworld creatures, so they had to seal this place. The White Bat Protoss was ordered to guard this place, and everything was peaceful until the arrival of this ship, which broke the seal.

Right now, the seal has become somewhat loose, especially where the ship is connected to the seal, where many cracks have appeared on the seal.

Not only that, there is another problem, that is, the creatures of Youdu can enter Daxu through this ship!

From time to time, a few strange creatures crawled down from the boat, some spread their wings and flew, and some jumped off the boat, but before they ran far, they saw the honeycomb seal flashing, and suddenly those creatures had their heads chopped off silently.

Gigantic statues of gods and men, portals, large ships, honeycomb seals, and creatures from the underworld make this underground world seem bizarre and fascinating.

"This portal looks familiar..."

Qin Mu looked up and down at the giant portal, and felt vaguely that he had seen it somewhere, but he could not remember where.

"How did these two monks die?"

He frowned slightly. The abilities of these two old monks were far superior to those of the two white bats. They were guarding this place under the order of Tathagata, and everything had been going smoothly. How could they suddenly die?

The two white bats said that they died of exhaustion, but judging from the current situation, after the death of the two old monks, their bodies were still able to use their own Buddhist teachings to resist the invasion of the Netherworld's evil spirits. Obviously, their strength had reached an extremely high level, and they were not far from being the leaders of the Divine Bridge realm.

Such a being would hardly be exhausted to death when facing the invasion of demonic energy.

Could it be that a terrifying creature from Hell had entered the real world through this ship and killed the two old monks? Or was it that something fiercely attacked the seal, and the two old monks struggled to stop it, and ended up exhausting themselves to death?

No matter which possibility it is, this is definitely not a good place. If you approach this ship rashly, you will probably be in great danger.

"Youdu, Tubo's world, is where souls go. Tubo's messengers lead the souls of the dead in the world into Youdu. These messengers are called Yinchai. I have seen Yinchai before. They are weird old men who make paper boats in the dark ruins. Although they are a little weird, they are still friendly. As long as you don't interfere with the Yinchai's actions, they will not embarrass the living."

Qin Mu looked around. It was obvious that Tu Bo's Youdu world had its own unique rules and regulations. As long as they followed these rules and regulations, Tu Bo would not interfere with the real world.

So what are the creatures in the Nether Valley like?

These creatures are powerful, weird, evil, and wicked. They are even more evil and weird than the demons Qin Mu had seen before!

Compared with the creatures in Youdu, the demons are still relatively kind.

These creatures of Youdu are completely opposite to the evil spirits of Youdu!

He looked up at the ship suspended in the air, neither touching the sky nor the ground. The ship was fixed by a honeycomb seal. Equilateral hexagonal columns were inlaid in the space, layer upon layer, translucent like glass. It was a seal left by the ancient gods.

And in that ship, wisps of demonic energy and other strange auras filled the air. Faintly, extremely disturbing sounds could be heard coming from the demonic energy, like the distorted screams of countless wronged souls suffering in the underworld.

Qin Mu calmed himself down, and suddenly his body shook, revealing a human head and a snake body, holding a scripture in his hand. The Gate of Chengtian appeared behind him, and his tail moved, and he suddenly floated in the air, bypassing the statue of the god in front of him and swam towards the ship.

The two white bats were startled and quickly flapped their wings and flew up. They looked at Qin Mu curiously and exclaimed, "It has changed again! It was originally a cow, then it became a human, and now it has turned into a snake!"

"There's something strange about this door. I'll go in and take a look!" Fu Yuqiu asked curiously, planning to push open the Chengtian Gate and go in to see what was inside.

"Inside is the Netherworld. If you want your dead soul to enter Netherworld now, just open the door and try." Qin Mu said in a deep voice.

When he said this, he was suddenly shocked. He paused in mid-air, staring blankly at the giant portal in front of him.

The Gate of Chengtian.

This portal sealed by the honeycomb is the Gate to Heaven!

Since this portal is the Gate of Chengtian, then what is this statue?

Qin Mu turned his head with difficulty and looked at the statue of the god.

Aren’t this statue and this Chengtian Gate exactly the same as Qin Mu’s current appearance?

"This is not a sculpture, but a person who has achieved the perfect Zhenxingjun form just like me!"

Qin Mu's mind buzzed. Although the forms of Zhenxingjun all have human heads and snake bodies, not everyone can cultivate the Chengtian Gate and the scroll in his hand. Even though Master Yankang is known as a saint who appears once every five hundred years, he has not cultivated this form.

This is the most perfect form.

Once upon a time, Qin Mu thought that this was the sign of a dominant body, and it was also the reason why he was confident that even Master Yan Kang could not be stronger than him at the same level.

And now he saw another being who had built the Chengtian Gate.

"Is this an ancient tyrant? Why did he become petrified? Why did he become like this?"

Qin Mu stood silently in the air, looking at the sculpture of the god. It was not a sculpture, but a god in the form of a star-suppressing god with a human head and a snake body, who had been petrified. Most of his body should still be buried underground.

His Chengtian Gate became the portal connecting Youdu and the real world, but for some unknown reason, the gate got out of control, causing the creatures of Youdu to pour out of the gate and wreak havoc on the real world, so the ancient gods had to seal the gate.

"So, how was he petrified, and by whom..."

Qin Mu was a little puzzled. What on earth had happened to this ancient tyrant and why had he ended up in such a situation?

After his death, why did the Gate of Chengtian not close or disappear? Why did it become the gateway between the underworld and reality?

Bai Fu said that the ancient gods opened the portal between the underworld and reality. What does this mean?

Do these two white bats know about that past?

Qin Mu calmed down, discarded all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, turned around and swam towards the ship. Many things happened in the years before the Great Ruins disaster that seemed strange to later generations. These past events have become dusty history, becoming unknown secrets waiting for future generations to discover the truth.

He is still very weak and does not have the ability to unlock the secrets of history.

Qin Mu flew towards the ship that flew from the sky and approached it cautiously. The closer he got, the more he felt how huge the ship was.

Of course, compared with the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat, this ship is nothing, but compared with the tower ship of Yankang Kingdom, this ship is much larger.

This ship didn't look like something from the mortal world. There were all kinds of strange runes on the hull. Although many of the runes were damaged, some of them were still flickering. Between the flickering and fading, the shape of the runes had changed. Looking closely, it seemed that many mysteries could be guessed from the changes in the runes.

Qin Mu had no time to observe these rune marks, and quietly boarded the stern of the ship. Many parts of the treasure ship had been damaged, but the main body was still intact.

The honeycomb seals left by the ancient gods were not aimed at them. These seals should only be aimed at the creatures in the underworld and posed no threat to the creatures in the real world.

Qin Mu landed on the ground, and the dragon unicorn and two white bats behind him also landed on the deck. The deck was covered with green mucus, emitting a faint fluorescent light. Qin Mu accidentally swam onto a ball of mucus and hurriedly dodged, only to find that the mucus was torn into strips of thread.

"It should be the mucus left after the viper died." Fu Yuqiu grabbed a handful of mucus and sniffed it, saying.

The dragon unicorn shook its body, and suddenly balls of real fire flew out, burning all the mucus on the deck.

Suddenly, a ball of evil energy blew from the bow of the ship, and Long Qilin's true fire was instantly extinguished. The two white bats, Fu Yuqiu and Fu Yuchun, quickly flashed in front of Qin Mu to protect him, and opened their mouths to let out silent howls, colliding with the evil energy.

Boom——

An unimaginable force came and blew the two white bats away, along with Qin Mu and Long Qilin behind them, who were also lifted into the air.

Several people landed on the ground and looked forward, showing cautious expressions.

There, darkness seemed to have life and was coming closer and closer. Long Qilin roared, shook his body, and his flesh swelled rapidly. The dragon scales on his body made a harsh sound. In a moment, he showed his true form, transformed into a half-dragon, half-qilin behemoth, with thunder and fire all over his body, rushing into the depths of the ship.

The dragon unicorn opened its mouth and a beam of light spurted out and shot into the thunder and fire.

His strength was so great that even a master at the heavenly level would have to temporarily avoid the attack. However, this attack fell into the surging darkness like a drop in the ocean, without any ripples at all.

Two white bats flapped their wings and flew up, spinning in the air. The white hairs on their bodies suddenly flew out like rain, and it was like countless white needles shooting into the darkness.

All the hair on the two white bats' bodies flew off. They wanted to retract their white hair, but they couldn't. They suddenly looked like two hairless rats, standing there shivering.

The darkness continued to come slowly, and a soft laugh was heard from the darkness, followed by a meaningless word.

That is not the language of gods, nor the language of demons, nor the true words of Buddhism.

Suddenly, Qin Mu's expression changed slightly, and he spoke the only sentence of Youdu language he knew.

The darkness suddenly stopped and no longer rushed towards them, but quickly retreated. Then countless hairs flew back and pierced the bodies of the two white bats, making them look like hedgehogs.

The two white bats were shocked and confused, and quickly shook their bodies, retracting the white hair on their bodies into their pores.
