Chapter 3270 Lesser Fullness (Derivative)
However, it did not become more ferocious as its power increased.
On the contrary, it seemed to still be in awe of the Nine Spirit Hairpin's divine power, merely curling up in place, not daring to make the slightest move, silently digesting the nutrients it had just devoured.
Inside the main hall, deathly silence returned once more.
All that remained were the gurgling sounds of the fleshy monster writhing and Yang Rui's suppressed breathing.
Yang Rui held Hua Nian's hand and stood beside his junior sister.
Now that they no longer have the Ghost Clan as their trailblazers and bait, they have to rely on themselves.
Fearing that he might disturb the monster, Yang Rui used telepathy to ask, "Junior Sister, is there any way?"
Although he had just resigned himself to death, he single-handedly opened a passage and sent his junior sister and Xiao Nian Nian out.
But the aura of this monster is now completely different from what it was just now.
Even with all his might, he couldn't get his junior sister and Xiao Nian out.
Hu Xiaoman shook her head and also transmitted her thoughts: "Fourth Senior Brother, I'm still thinking of a way."
"Don't worry, there will always be a way."
Hu Xiaoman was about to step forward to take a closer look at her master's condition and the fragment of the Heavenly Stone.
Sudden--
"Click."
A faint yet incredibly clear cracking sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silent hall.
The "crack" sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in the hearts of the three.
Hu Xiaoman, Yang Rui, and Hua Nian all turned their heads sharply at almost the same time, following the source of the sound.
The sound came from the deepest part of the main hall.
From that nameless statue that they had always overlooked, enshrined behind the altar, whose face was no longer discernible!
The three of them were on tenterhooks once again.
On the ancient statue, which had endured countless years of erosion, a thin crack, as fine as a hair, had quietly appeared in the center of its brow.
Immediately afterward, starting from that crack, more spiderweb-like cracks began to spread rapidly across the entire body of the statue.
“Crack…Crack…”
The cracking sounds became more frequent and clearer.
Pieces of stone, each the size of a fingernail, peeled away from the surface of the statue, revealing that what lay beneath was not stone, but a strange metallic material that shimmered with a dark golden luster.
Yang Rui's eyes widened: "What...what is that?"
Hua Nian shook her head, staring solemnly at the statue that was undergoing a strange transformation.
Hu Xiaoman's brows furrowed tightly.
She didn't speak, but her consciousness was immediately highly focused.
She had a strong premonition.
Something that has been sealed away for countless years is about to... break through the soil.
At the same moment the crack appeared on the statue, Hu Xiaoman suddenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from the core of the altar.
Her gaze instantly shifted to the fragment of the celestial stone beneath her master, which served as the core of the seal!
The celestial stone fragment that had been quietly floating and emitting a faint blue light suddenly began to vibrate violently.
It seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, emitting a resonant "buzzing" sound.
On the fragments, the ancient patterns lit up at this moment, radiating a dazzling light.
A vast and desolate aura emanated from the fragments.
This aura resonates with the cracking statue!
There seems to be some kind of connection between them!
Yang Rui asked, "Junior Sister, what happened to that fragment of the Heavenly Stone?"
Hu Xiaoman shook her head, but her heart sank deeper and deeper.
The Heavenly Stone Fragment is key to maintaining Master's seal.
Will its violent fluctuations at this moment affect the stability of the seal?
Could it... hurt Master?
She instinctively wanted to step forward and take the fragment of the celestial stone off.
But reason told her she couldn't.
Once the fragment is removed, the balance of the seal will be instantly broken, with unimaginable consequences.
In the brief moment of her hesitation, the statue's transformation reached its peak.
"boom--!"
With a loud bang, the entire statue exploded!
Countless pebbles, mixed with dark gold metal fragments, shot out in all directions.
Hu Xiaoman immediately waved his hand, setting up a spiritual energy shield to protect the three of them and block the flying rocks.
The air was thick with smoke and dust, obscuring everyone's vision.
But an aura even more ancient, terrifying, and evil than the previous flesh and blood monster suddenly erupted from the center of the smoke and dust!
That aura was filled with endless resentment, hatred, and the madness to destroy everything!
As soon as it appeared, the temperature of the entire ancient temple plummeted to freezing point.
Even the arrogant, fleshy monster on the altar let out an unprecedented, terrified scream the moment it sensed this aura.
Its massive body shrank back frantically, as if it wanted to shrink itself into a dot.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Where the statue originally stood, a figure slowly emerged.
It was a humanoid creature that was entirely black.
It was emaciated with long, thin limbs, and its body was more like a skeleton crawling out of hell than flesh and blood.
It was covered by a layer of dry, dark gold skin.
Countless mysterious and complex magical runes covered its body surface, flickering with its breath.
Its face has no facial features, only two bottomless, slowly rotating black vortexes that serve as its eyes.
Within that vortex lay pure nothingness and destruction; any gaze cast into it would be instantly swallowed up, its very soul torn apart.
It stood there quietly, without making any move, yet it seemed to freeze the entire underground cavern space.
On the altar, the once arrogant flesh and blood monster was now completely prostrate on the ground.
Its massive body trembled violently, emitting mournful cries. Its wildly flailing tentacles clung tightly to its body, as docile as a lamb before a butcher.
The progenitor, awakened from the skeleton, slowly turned his empty eye sockets, scanning the entire scene.
Its gaze lingered for a moment on the trembling, fleshy monster.
The two black vortexes revealed undisguised contempt and disgust.
"A byproduct of failure."
A hoarse, dry voice, unlike anything any living being could produce, rang out in the minds of Hu Xiaoman, Hua Nian, and Yang Rui.
The sound was like two pieces of rusty metal rubbing against each other.
Damn, it has a texture that makes your teeth ache.
With just this one sentence, the enormous fleshy monster let out a shrill scream, its entire body slumped down, and it collapsed completely onto the altar, no longer daring to move an inch.
