Ghost Compendium-Chapter 411 - 370: An Unprecedented Bet!
This made Da Yi tilt his head slightly curiously towards Wu Liang, and he was surprised to find that the guy who threw out the Mist Sword had a peculiar smile on the corner of his mouth.
He even said words he couldn’t understand: "This bet is not big enough, let’s make it a bit bigger!"
Zi-la——
The moment Da Yi grasped the Mist Sword tightly, it seemed to vaporize and turned back into mist, even becoming as dark as ink under Thunder Ghost’s powers, emitting dazzling light. The rolling thunder illuminated the entire Taishan Peak.
Meanwhile, Wu Liang continued to retreat while speaking: "Why don’t we directly bet on the fate of the world!"
"I bet I can definitely save the world! Achieve that rightful path! Thoroughly eradicate the Supernatural Calamity, this cancer! If successful, you must promise me one request; failure...as you said, failure means nothing, including my world."
After speaking, Wu Liang had already retreated to the edge of the peak.
Then he fell directly backward, plummeting towards the ground at an incredibly fast speed like a meteor.
Not waiting for the Ghost Compendium to provide a reply, after all, the current issue was survival first.
Relying solely on his abilities to maneuver among three Great Venerables was basically daydreaming; to truly find a way to survive, he had to find a solution from the First Emperor!
"Run...where will you run..."
A voice hoarse to the extreme, as though two rust-laden steel pipes were rubbing together, echoed from the mountaintop.
Out from a cluster of thunder-lit dark clouds emerged a skeleton of white bones, swiveling its distinctive skull as it roared towards Wu Liang.
The next second, the Dark Sun in its hand shone towards Wu Liang.
Before Wu Liang could shield himself, he found Da Yi’s skeleton already appearing in front of him.
Its speed was like teleportation!
"Light...the place Dark Sun shines, it can instantly appear right there!" Wu Liang immediately realized what was going on.
Da Yi anticipated he would obstruct the shine of Dark Sun, directly refraining from using any offensive abilities, opting instead to move himself over.
Its skull’s hollow-looking eye sockets stared straight at him, even without any gaze, still making one’s skin crawl.
Wu Liang vaguely saw two eerie Dark Suns flickering within those black eye sockets.
His heart instantly filled with a sense of foreboding.
He hadn’t forgotten what was said before, Da Yi’s probing ability was far superior to the First Emperor’s; in a face-to-face situation, it might recognize at a glance that he wasn’t the Fierce Ghost.
So, in the instant of eye contact, Wu Liang burst into countless mist, dispersing on the spot.
"I’ve said...where...are you running!"
Da Yi roared at the surrounding mist.
Instantly, the Dark Sun Light illuminated from the bones, making it impossible to open one’s eyes, freezing every mist exposed beneath it, unable to move.
Within just a breath, Da Yi locked down the precise position where Wu Liang was hiding within the mist.
This time it truly sensed the opponent’s aura, leaving no detail missed, even if Wu Liang turned to ashes next, it could find every speck!
But upon sensing clearly, Da Yi was dumbfounded.
"This aura...neither ghost nor human...exactly what are you!" Da Yi was so shocked that its skull issued rattling sounds, seemingly about to crumble.
It truly sensed the aura of the Fierce Ghost from Wu Liang but mixed within was a feeling it had never encountered before. From the depths of its soul surged a greedy hunger, realizing this guy was definitely not an ordinary Fierce Ghost!
Perhaps...he might not even be a Fierce Ghost!
The First Emperor must have acquired something from this guy!
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the First Emperor was, he couldn’t possibly erase Zeus’s Great Venerable power directly from the law level!
This guy, I must obtain!
"Damn, Great Venerables are troublesome! You said no matter how reality is modified, there’d be no issue! Then I’m not holding back!" Wu Liang struggled a few times but couldn’t escape the Dark Sun Light’s lock.
As he loudly scolded towards the sky, the Ghost Compendium’s voice, audible only to Wu Liang, was transmitted down: "Of course, I won’t deceive you."
[modify reality]! Activate!
Whoosh——
In the instant Ghost Compendium’s reply emerged, a strange shadow arose around Wu Liang, in a blink completely obscuring the Dark Sun Light locked on him.
Even Da Yi was dumbfounded at this moment.
Because it distinctly felt that power belonged to the Dark Moon Power controlled by Yue Du.
Only this power, entirely opposite to Dark Sun, could block out all light without missing a single ray.
"Yue Du! You..."
Da Yi abruptly raised its head towards Yue Du, who was at a distance, holding off the First Emperor alongside Poseidon, with anger in its voice difficult to conceal.
Only to find Yue Du equally bewildered, staring at the part of the full moon missing from in front of her.
This was originally intended to block the First Emperor’s bizarre pressure, using numerous full moons to form a curtain and cover the sky in perpetual night.
But now, the edge of this curtain strangely lacked a corner, coincidentally aligning with the part shrouding Wu Liang.
"My curtain’s ripped...no, not ripped! Merely moved! The connection is still intact!" Yue Du immediately realized, raising her hand to retract the curtain covering Wu Liang.
Yet as she withdrew, a trace of bewilderment still lingered in her eyes.
Because within Yue Du’s perception, her full moon dark night curtain still perfectly enveloped the entire Great Qin, even the corner moved by Wu Liang still existed at the breach’s position.
This feeling was as though the transfer wasn’t of her curtain but rather the void in that piece of heaven and earth.
"The wind is tense! Let’s scram!"
The instant the dark night curtain disappeared from his body, Wu Liang stepped forward into the mysterious space rift before him.
This scene left the Great Venerables stupefied, with Da Yi even incredulously rubbing its hollow eye sockets lacking eyeballs.
Because before Wu Liang moved, none of the Great Venerables sensed when the space rift appeared.
Everything seemed coincidentally timed, as if he fell into it rather than entered intentionally.
The next second, Wu Liang’s silhouette already appeared hundreds of kilometers away.
The bizarre "coincidences" earlier were naturally the result of [modify reality].
Yue Du’s perception wasn’t mistaken; Wu Liang indeed moved the entire space, covered to the corner at the curtain’s edge, this way being first undetectable.
The current space rift was no exception.
It’s simply because, amidst the conflict involving Great Venerables, spatial chaos "conveniently" emerged before him, its exit "conveniently" no less than hundreds of kilometers away, opposite their direction.
Such events carry a probability of occurrence, though infinitely close to zero.
Under [modify reality], the infinitely close to zero becomes a definite occurrence!
Yet after all, this was his first time using [modify reality] so brazenly, merely escaping hundreds of kilometers coincidentally.
In reality, should total mastery be achieved, Wu Liang could appear directly beside the First Emperor, eliminating future escape concerns.
After all, to a Great Venerable, hundreds of kilometers meant merely taking a few strides.
"Heh, saying I should survive using currently mastered abilities when you really just imply [reality], right?" Wu Liang muttered.cursing.
He had just ascended to Venerable status, whether mist or Nightmare’s other Fierce Ghost Minion abilities, facing Da Yi, Yue Du, and Poseidon, all seemed comical like children playing water.
Only the [reality] law, because of its uniqueness, could ignore strength disparity to maneuver.
Ultimately, the Ghost Compendium’s true aim was merely for him to thoroughly wield [modify reality] in this world.
However...that training’s cost seemed somewhat exaggerated.
Wu Liang glanced back, finding that skeleton almost catching up.
Not even ten seconds had passed!
"Come on! Watch me ravage reality into a form I adore! Damn it! Modify!"
