Catastrophic necromancer

Chapter 2247: Ants Eating an Elephant

After Lin Moyu dealt with the Saint Lords from the Black Blood Great World, the battle between the Vermilion Bird and the polluted blood also reached its conclusion.

Under the repeated roasting of the Vermilion Bird’s flames, cracks appeared all over the origin crystal, finally reaching its limit and shattering with a boom.

With one less source of origin power, the Black Blood Frenzy would become even weaker.

At this moment, both the Vermilion Bird and Lin Moyu looked up. After they destroyed this origin crystal, the other four origin crystals seemed to become more violent.

The originally calm origin power became more intense, injecting into the Black Blood Frenzy at an even faster speed.

The Vermilion Bird said, “We need to speed up!”

Lin Moyu nodded and immediately opened a space gate.

The two quickly headed to the next location, the Azure Dragon Battleground.

With the marker, Lin Moyu could accurately locate the targets, finding them one by one without fail.

The supply of origin power was becoming faster and faster, also indicating that the Black Blood Frenzy would become more and more intense. The Vermilion Bird grew increasingly anxious.

The two moved extremely quickly, trying to resolve the polluted blood and destroy the origin crystals as fast as possible.

Azure Dragon Battleground, Black Tortoise Battleground, White Tiger Battleground…

Lin Moyu could sense that the aura on the Vermilion Bird’s body was weakening.

Its power was not infinite and would eventually be exhausted.

They traveled back and forth across various battlegrounds, finally destroying all four origin crystals.

By the time they reached the last one, less than half of the power remained in the origin crystal.

The Vermilion Bird said in a low voice, “Next we need to deal with the Black Blood Frenzy. Fortunately, we destroyed the origin crystals, so the destructive power of the Black Blood Frenzy is only one-third of what it would have been.”

It had experienced the Black Blood Frenzy before, so its estimate shouldn’t be wrong.

This one-third referred to if all ten origin crystals had been activated together, not compared to ancient times.

Lin Moyu asked, “Was the Black Blood Frenzy in ancient times very powerful?”

The Vermilion Bird recalled with some reminiscence, “Very powerful. Back then, the Black Blood Frenzy covered an area of about 10,000 light-years. Wherever it went, nothing could grow.”

“Even we and the Heavenly Sovereigns were powerless to stop the Black Blood Frenzy. In the end, it was the great world that used its origin power to repel the Black Blood Frenzy.”

“A world’s origin power isn’t something that can be used casually. There’s a price to pay.”

“When the origins collided, the great world’s origin won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.”

“We underestimated the power of the Black Blood Great World’s origin. Its existence was extraordinary. The great world’s origin was injured, damaging its foundation, which was difficult to repair.”

“We are origin divine beasts nurtured by the great world. At that time, to repair the great world, we contributed most of our power and fell into slumber together.”

“Although we all originate from the great world, the power nurtured in each of us is different. Among us, I am the most special, possessing the ability of nirvana.”

As they spoke, the two returned to where the Black Blood Frenzy had erupted.

The range of the Black Blood Frenzy had already expanded to 500 light-years and was rolling towards the human race’s star region.

It was like a giant beast in the dark night, opening its huge mouth, leaving nothing in its wake.

The Vermilion Bird continued, “Fortunately, this Black Blood Frenzy isn’t very powerful. I’ll find a way to destroy it.”

“I hope I can do it. I should be able to do it.”

The Vermilion Bird’s power was almost depleted. Explaining these things was like giving its last words.

If the great world were still intact, it wouldn’t die at all. The power of the great world could revive it in minutes.

But now the great world was in a different situation. If the Vermilion Bird died, it couldn’t be revived before the great world recovered.

Just as the Vermilion Bird was about to take action, Lin Moyu stopped it, “There’s still time. Let me try first.”

“If I fail, you can take over.”

The Vermilion Bird didn’t agree with Lin Moyu’s words, “Protecting the great world is my responsibility. This should be done by me.”

Lin Moyu said, “As a member of the human race, also part of the great world, I have a share in this matter too.”

“Moreover, you have other things to do.”

The Vermilion Bird was slightly stunned, not understanding what Lin Moyu meant.

Lin Moyu smiled, “After we resolve the Black Blood Frenzy, I’ll tell you.”

Saying this, Lin Moyu flew towards the Black Blood Frenzy. Previously when trapped inside, he was helpless.

Now that he had escaped, he had enough time to deal with it.

At the speed of the Black Blood Frenzy, it would take at least ten years to reach the star region where the human race was located.

Ten years was more than enough time!

The Bone Hell appeared, attaching itself to the Black Blood Frenzy.

The Bone Hell, only 0.1 light-years in size, looked pitifully small in front of the Black Blood Frenzy, like an ant under an elephant’s foot.

Using the hell fiends’ ability to devour anything, Lin Moyu prepared to stage a scene of an ant biting an elephant to death.

“Let’s begin!”

“Eat to your heart’s content, eat as much as you can, eat your fill this time.”

As his thoughts surged, the Bone Hell began to seep into the Black Blood Frenzy.

The Black Blood Frenzy crashed into the Bone Hell like huge waves, trying to completely extinguish the hellfire.

The hell fiends roared madly as they rushed out, beginning to devour the incoming Black Blood Frenzy.

They bit and devoured one mouthful after another, continuously and at an astonishing speed.

The hell fire river was also boiling, sending out countless flames to burn the black blood.

Above the Bone Hell, ten suns hung in the sky, spewing countless flames, joining with the hell fire river to burn the black blood.

A battle between an ant and an elephant officially began.

Although the Bone Hell looked like an ant, it had extremely sharp teeth, biting holes in the elephant’s body.

It stood firm against the erosion of the Black Blood Frenzy, continuously eating away at it.

Besides the hellfire and hell fiends, what surprised Lin Moyu most was actually the spider lily.

Since the spider lily appeared, apart from being beautiful, it hadn’t had any other use.

Facts proved that in the Bone Hell, nothing was useless.

The spider lily bloomed with a gray-blue light, cold and in stark contrast to the hellfire.

The black blood touched by this light would instantly lose most of its power, greatly weakening its erosion of the Bone Hell.

Devouring, burning, weakening – the three worked together to deal with the Black Blood Frenzy.

A gap appeared on the Black Blood Frenzy, like a wound on an elephant’s body, bitten out by an inconspicuous ant.

The Vermilion Bird was stunned on the spot, murmuring, “It really works. How did you do it?”

Lin Moyu said, “This is my spell. It’s quite magical.”

The Vermilion Bird exclaimed, “So that’s how it is.”

There was still confusion in its eyes, unable to understand.

However, the confusion wasn’t important. What mattered most was being able to resolve the Black Blood Frenzy.

Lin Moyu suddenly asked, “Do you know about the mysterious master?”

The Vermilion Bird shook its head, “We all know of him, but we don’t know his true identity.”

“We only know that he’s very powerful. Even the Heavenly Sovereigns respect him greatly and follow his instructions.”

“We four origin divine beasts have never actually met him, so we don’t know his true identity.”

Lin Moyu showed some disappointment, not expecting that even the Vermilion Bird didn’t know the identity of the mysterious master. He couldn’t help but murmur, “He really is very mysterious!”
