I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 484 - 273: Flattening the Nursery, Storming the Capital City
The weird creatures present were all stunned.
Even a few bamboo-like monsters shrank in the corner, trembling, muttering "so terrifying" and "so frightening," yet their ferocity grew, the intent to kill intensified, silently inching closer to Ning Zheng while trembling.
"Gone mad?"
Ning Zheng understood, clearly some fierce ghosts were enraged and had gone berserk.
Ning Zheng couldn’t be bothered, and directly asked, "Xinyi Yun, can you burn them?"
Xinyi Yun’s eyes lit up; he had recently refined his cultivation technique and could now perfectly burn people:
Yes, burn them!
These back figures of nurseries from past dynasties, overlooking all living beings from high heavens, must know too many hidden secrets!
Perhaps, even this group of observers, might know the underlying details of the Human God’s history!
The weaknesses of their puppetry, the method used to take away the "skin" of humans.
As long as these details are known, victory is almost assured.
The weaknesses of the Human God are the same as those of the emperors in the ancient tombs.
Because the cultivation system is primitive, their basic stats in the same realm are too low, currently unable to keep up with the era.
"Kill us?"
Finally, an old woman coldly said:
"Even tens of thousands of years ago, when Jiu Shui broke through the nursery and led an army to the capital... they never dared to attack us like this."
"We are a neutral cemetery group, unlike the other ancient tomb forbidden zone masters who wreak havoc in the eras." A black scale-armored creature that looked like a demon was furious, "We are like branches of the same tree; attacking one provokes many. Think it through!"
The back of the nursery is a group of very special existences.
The master who first established this graveyard group was a Great Power weary of strife, secluded from the world.
He did not wish to engage in conflict during his life and refused to after his death.
In each era, he hosted one guest after another, each a reclusive Great Power, buried here.
This is a Peach Blossom Spring-style group of cemeteries, huddling for warmth.
Those inner demons, who still had attachments and wanted to interfere with era slaughters, could not be housed here; they had to go elsewhere.
This is why the ancient tombs in forbidden zones everywhere are standalone existences.
Even many contemporary Two Phases cultivators on secret realm adventures dared not let their Dharma Aspect approach the back of the nursery.
Because they are secluded, huddled for warmth, who dares provoke?
And now, Ning Zheng has provoked them!
"You provoke us, you’re provoking a group."
Another eight-legged tiger suddenly laughed, "Do you think you’re the second Jiu Shui Saint? Even that person dared not provoke us, only daring to take away one bronze statue, and you’re not even a warrior, just a blacksmith, have you killed anyone?"
"You’re just a blacksmith... young man, in business, you should strive for harmony and prosperity. Provoking us like this, how do you expect to continue your business?"
"Wherever your business expands, we will harass."
"We reside behind the nursery, our whispers heard by the heavens, and our roots reaching the Nine-State, living leisurely in seclusion, sipping on little wines daily, idly seeking out your business to fervently ruin."
Another presence sneered, "Have you considered the consequences of attacking us like this? We never interfere with the era, but if we emerge henceforth, constantly harassing the living, disasters will be rife across the Nine-State, and you will be the sinner of the living."
"Our numbers far exceed those wicked beings in the major forbidden zones; if we emerge, the pressure on you will multiply tremendously!"
Ning Zheng frowned.
These creatures kept chattering, stalling for time.
Now, with the Human Race on the brink of calamity, about to become Human Apes, who still cares for a neutral force?
In the past, you huddled together, formidable in combat power, none dared provoke.
But today’s mythic era is too mighty; you think you can remain neutral?
If Ning Zheng doesn’t act against them, the Ancient Ape, after stabilizing the Human Race, will surely act against them too!
A group of stubborn dead men, rigidly upholding rules, thinking they can continue being neutral, not knowing calamity is upon them.
"The Human Race is on the brink of life and death, then let’s all die together!"
Bam!
The fragmentation of souls erupted as the Shadow Crocodile suddenly transformed into a huge black ocean, attacking an ancient Sect Leader-level existence.
"How dare you!!!!!"
"How dare you!!?"
Roars of fury echoed.
Ning Zheng ignored it all, killing one directly.
The fallen soul bubbles rapidly filled the body of this Giant.
"Not bad taste, killing you, absorbing soul bubbles, strengthening this massive body’s foundation, then storming into the Capital City again is a good idea."
Those present burned with rage.
"You are unreasonable! We have no enmity..." Someone was thoroughly enraged, a Saint-level presence.
Ning Zheng reached out.
Bam!
The overwhelming shadowy aura abruptly enveloped this figure.
His body trembled constantly, making cracking sounds, and was instantly devoured.
At the Saint level, the gap was worlds apart.
The crowd grew increasingly furious.
Ning Zheng frowned again, looked at one of the furious half-beast beings, waved his hand, cutting him half-dead, a lot of bubbles dropping.
Then Ning Zheng absorbed these bubbles and split off a blacksmith’s ember, "You handle him."
"Sure thing," the Ember smiled, a lascivious grin, producing a dog leash, dragging the half-beast being along, "Let’s take a stroll."
The crowd was struck with terror.
A warrior can be killed but not humiliated.
They are renowned figures throughout history.
And now to treat them like livestock, leading them around?
"Once again, who knows the information? Let us burn him."
Ning Zheng asks one last time, "Otherwise, in the last moments of life, I’ll slaughter all of you."
His face remains devoid of joy or sorrow, gazing at the vast expanse behind the nursery, so broad it’s almost impossible to know how much historical splendor it conceals.
It’s like one individual threatening a nation; how laughable.
Yet, the crowd couldn’t laugh. Even if they withstood and defeated this Human Giant God, the damage would be severe.
Among the crowd, the bronze statue thought silently: "He dares to threaten a group of the dead; this is trickery."
"We are all earth-bound spirits, and would resurrect after dying, so what’s the point if he kills us?"
"Unless the earth vein is completely uprooted before killing, only then we die permanently, but that requires enormous cost and time, which he doesn’t have now."
"Such a ridiculous threat!"
"Only those dead who think they aren’t dead would fear death and be deceived." He felt a strong sense of superiority.
"But I’m different; among these dead ones, only I am truly alive. I’ve hidden among them for countless years. It’s trivial if they die, but if I die, it’s genuine death."
"He’s planning to go down with me."
"Such a lunatic should not be provoked."
"I must heed his word and fall for his ruse."
The bronze statue thought thus, fearing death.
And others thought the same, they too feared death.
Hence, all the dead present remained silent.
Indeed, joining forces to corner this Xirong Giant God might still offer a chance to win.
But it’s not worth it.
The combat between the Human Ape and him is not something the audience wants to be dragged into innocently.
After all, these neighbors are all dead; being resurrected makes them good friends again, what’s the harm in being killed?
"The fiery one, he knows!" Someone finally whispered.
"The Zombie Dragon, he seems to know some things too. Yes, he just said he was killed by the Ancient Ape."
In no time, they abandoned the camaraderie of neighbors, unable to resist speaking up.
Those who were betrayed became anxious.
"How could you betray us!"
"Damn, we were all brothers!"
And those who betrayed their brothers silently distanced themselves, whispering apologies in their hearts.
Anyway, these good brothers are all dead; being burned doesn’t really matter, it’s not a real death.
Moreover, after death and resurrection, their memories will reset, forgetting about our betrayal.
Once they are revived and lose their memories, we will resume being life-and-death brothers, drinking, chatting and calling each other brothers here.
"A total of seventeen know the intelligence, burn them."
Ning Zheng glanced at it, the number wouldn’t be too far off even with tricks.
Ning Zheng called forth Xinyi Yun’s Dharma Aspect.
Whoosh!
Flames ignited, and seventeen ancient existences screamed in anguish.
"He’s serious!! This grudge will be remembered, later we will secretly harass him! Make sure he can’t do business!" All shadowy existences across the nursery dared not breathe, shrinking and bowing their heads, not daring to provoke this madman facing death!
This man, soon to die, would do anything to survive, causing quite the stink.
This moment was unprecedented.
As the grave area behind the nursery expanded over centuries, never conquered by past dynasty emperors, countless ancient figures at this instant surrendered entirely to this Xirong Divine Craftsman.
The first King of the Other Shore lamented, this sickly beauty’s enchanting eyes flitting,
"This is something even the Saint Jiu Shui did not achieve when he passed through the nursery."
And now, isn’t it akin to recreating that era, assaulting the nursery and storming the Capital City?
Ning Zheng asked, "What’s the situation?"
"It’s already being digested," Xinyi Yun replied solemnly.
"We can’t delay, head to the Capital City first."
Ning Zheng took a step forward, heading straight into the mist-shrouded Capital City.
This fog is mysterious, it was here that Xin Xichen fell, but unfortunately, the details of that battle remain unknown.
His eyes shifted around, he called forth the King of the Other Shore’s Dharma Aspect and said, "Please investigate briefly."
"Alright." The King of the Other Shore, skilled in the Soul Technique, detected deep into the white mist.
But before she could proceed, she was directly forced back.
"Finally arrived."
At this moment, a distant voice emanated from the Palace of the Capital City.
"In our era, we didn’t use the current soul Dharma Aspect, but had another kind of physical Dharma Aspect... I anticipated that taking your Dharma Aspect away, yet you’ve extended it into another kind."
"For the featherless, imperfect Ancient Apes, for me to employ this ancient Dharma Aspect, is enough for you to feel proud."
"Come, the final battle of an awakened dream."
Ning Zheng looked up and saw the body of the Rose King suspended high in the sky, countless fine threads swirling together, gathering into an unprecedented Giant Ape.
Every creature in the Capital City had already transformed into the Human Ape.
Even Princess Xin’e had morphed into a female ape, yet at this moment, their fur carried with it their vital energy and essence, flying into the sky.
The strength of countless Human Apes was converging through countless strands of hair onto this giant Human Ape, forming a Dharma Aspect that reached the heavens and towered over the earth.
This Giant Ape seemed like the supreme god and demon of the ancient barbaric era, with its feet on the earth and hands supporting the sky, even the Ancient Dragon was merely a toy in its hands. That terrifying might appeared to awaken mankind’s deepest fears.
