Chapter 730: The Quest for the Antidote, A Struggle of Life and Death
"This is the end for the Angel Clan!"
"Kill them all!" shouted everyone and the violent coercion slammed on the angels.
Only Lord Angel was a second-step Wisdom Elite in the Angel Clan and there was a limited number of Wisdom Elites, too. On the other hand, there were many strong fighters in Yun Qianshan's group, making them unstoppable. The difference in combat power between the two groups was just too big of a gap to cross. One only had to imagine a lake and an ocean to know just how vast the difference was.
"Stay alert, everyone and bring out your head wreaths!" said Lord Angel. He raised his hand, and a head wreath slowly floated in the air, before landing on the top of his head and transforming into a glowing halo.
In an instant, Wisdom was flowing downstream, and the oppressive influence from the Eldtricths and others was blown away by the wind. Moreover, the overflowing Angel's Light contained a trace of Origins aura. It was not just him, but a halo appeared on the heads of all the angels, and they were bathed in brilliant, dazzling light.
Gu Ai's pupils shrank rapidly as he said with shock, "Is this…the Origins?"
Gu Debai took a deep breath and said, "Everyone has an Origins halo protecting them. Where have they been hiding the halos all this time?"
"So that's why you rejected my offer so many times! How did you do it? Tell me how you got the Origins imbued on your feather!" asked Yun Qianshan, eyes green with jealousy. He finally knew why the angels were all bald. It turned out that they had exchanged their feathers for the head wreaths.
"Tell us how we can get the Origins on our feathers, too!"
"I want to be bald too!" said the other demons.
Lord Angel smiled coldly and said, "The fur on your demon's body is inferior to our feathers! They're not worthy to be stained with Origins."
"Why you… Die!" The demons roared angrily, and together, they shot at the angels.
"Just because you have the halo doesn't give you the right to be so cocky!" The Eldritchs raised their hands to suppress Lord Angel.
"You're acting like you're the only person with Origins. Why, I'll show you!" Gu Ai smiled coldly and raised his right hand. This arm had been tempered into a hand of the Origins, like the hand of God, containing unparalleled power. The power was close to a third-step Wisdom Elite's power.
The void exploded, the entire sky turned into chaos, and a heavy vortex appeared, as if about to engulf the world. Wisdom was shaking, and the law of the universe was annihilated.
"The Angel's Light never extinguishes as it purifies the universe!" Lord Angel gave a cold cry, and all the angels rose into the sky. The halo on their heads floated up and gathered in the void, turning them into a huge light curtain.
Outside the light curtain, the magical powers of the Eldritchs and others roared like a violent wind, driving a multitude of visions that were frantically attacking the light curtain. The two forces were intertwined, each trying to wipe out the other.
Gu Debai's eyes showed a strange light and he was shocked. "This halo's so extraordinary, it can purify our attacks!"
Gu Ai nodded and said. "They are far from our strength, but they can do this with the help of the head wreaths. It's really extraordinary."
Gu Lie said, "What I really want to know is the nature of their relationship with the seventh dimension. Where did they get the head wreaths, and...why don't they want to consume the Origins of the seventh dimension?"
The faces of Lord Angel and War Angel were strife with the struggles of keeping their mouths shut. 'Why won't we consume the Origins from the seventh dimension? If only you knew…"
"Tianhua, I never thought that you'd keep such a big secret from me. You've forced my hands into this! Die, all you angels!" roared Yun Qianshan. His tone was full of murderous aura and his mana surged as he prepared to cast out a Wisdom ultimate spell.
However, the next moment, his body trembled suddenly, and then a mouthful of blood came out as a black aura suddenly appeared between his eyebrows. His eyes filled with confusion as he wondered what was going on with him.
His pupils suddenly dilated, revealing a deep look of horror. He could feel that his mana was trembling, and his Origins of Life was actually fading quickly. How could it be when he was the mighty second-step Wisdom Elite who had surpassed the boundaries of life and death? There was no coming back from this once his Origins of Life were all gone. He could not even imagine how this could come to be.
He seemed to be the first sign of what was to come, for immediately above the void, each of the intruders started to spew a mouthful of blood, causing them to be filled with confusion and fear.
Lord Angel was also slightly taken aback when he saw this scene. 'I haven't done anything at all! Am I really that powerful?'
"What's going on? The Origins of my life is dissipating!"
"No! We've been poisoned! But how could this be?"
"Impossible, how can such poison exist in the world? This is beyond the rules of heaven and earth!"
"It's over. If this goes on, we will definitely die! Is this how it feels to die?"
"It must be the Origins from the seventh dimension! There must be something wrong with it!"
"No wonder the angels didn't want to eat it! They must have known that there is a problem with the Origins from there!"
Everyone kept shouting over each other, and for a while, panic spread among them.
Gu Ai glanced at Lord Angel and then said, "We shouldn't delay anymore. Let's hurry to the seventh dimension!"
"Yes, we need the antidote!"
"We'll kill them if they don't give us the antidote."
They immediately turned around with no more thoughts of annihilating the angels and hurriedly made their way to the portal. Fighting against the angels would only make the toxins in their bodies spread faster so they chose to spend that energy in finding the antidote instead. After all, there was nothing more important than one's own life.
Lord Angel and War Angel looked at each other, with a trace of complexity in their eyes.
"It seems that the expert has done something to the Origins they were consuming," said War Angel.
"Yes, a brilliant move I must say," said Lord Angel, overcome with emotions.
"I didn't expect that not only did they eat poop, but they also poisoned the poop, which is really amazing."
"We should be grateful to him for saving the Angel Clan once again," said War Angel.
"You're right. Let's head over to the Heavenly Palace to warn them so they can stop them," said Lord Angel. The two of them immediately flew toward the portal, too.
In their current situation, the Eldritchs and the others were like desperados, meaning they would do all sorts of crazy things to save themselves, so they must be taken care of.
The Eldritchs and others had already entered the portal and arrived at the seventh dimension. They wasted no time in going straight to the Area of the Gods.
"The seventh dimension's despicable! How dare they use poison against us? If I die, I'll make every one of them go down with me!" shouted Gu Ai. His voice bellowed like thunder, igniting the Wisdom ocean and forming a turbulent flow to the surroundings. Immediately, countless stars in the chaos shattered, and even a small world was blown up with the creatures living there annihilated.
"There's an expert in the seventh dimension who has entered the state of the ultimate existence but I'm sure we can definitely break his state if we attack together!" said Yun Qianshan in a low voice.
"You're going down, seventh dimension!" shouted Shi Zhengxiang.
They roared vigorously and cockily. Filled with the aura of destruction, they disrupted the seventh dimension's Wisdom and killed many beings along the way.
Soon, they entered the Area of the Gods. Just as they were preparing to continue their destruction all the way to the Fallen Immortal Mountain, a dazzling and majestic golden light came rushing in from the distance.
It was the team from the Heavenly Palace, followed by 100,000 thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. They were all looking at the intruders with solemn expressions.
"Halt! The seventh dimension doesn't welcome the likes of you. Get out of here!" said Cultivator Junjun.
"Hehe, it's you guys!" Gu Ai recognized some of them and said coldly, "We've been poisoned by the seventh dimension. Give us the antidote and we'll withdraw but be prepared to feel our wrath if you don't hand it over!"
"We don't have the antidote but don't think we'll let you destroy the seventh dimension either!" said Yang Jing.
"Hahaha, there isn't even a second-step Wisdom Elite among you people, and you still dare say such big words? Don't make me laugh!" said Gu Debai mockingly.
"We shouldn't waste our breath on them! We should just kill them!" said Gu Lie.
"Even if we're in cahoots with them?" At this time, Lord Angel and War Angel had already joined the Heavenly Palace team and were looking at the intruders coldly.
"Tianhua, you're a citizen of the fourth dimension, do you really plan to join forces with them?" asked Yun Qianshan.
"Yes! You've done many evil deeds and you should be punished! Death is your destination," said Lord Angel.
The aura of the two sides intertwined in the void, making the sound of explosions, mana rising like flames, pushing everyone into the verge of a big battle.
Suddenly, several figures came slowly from the distance. They walked in step by step over a path made up of moonlight. The group consisted of a dog, two girls, and a beautiful and seductive woman.
Many demons lost their minds when they saw the beautiful woman as if they had never seen such a beautiful woman before. They were deeply attracted to her and wanted to surrender to her charm.
On the contrary, the Eldtrichs' hearts were beating wildly as they immediately became extremely nervous. 'Oh no! They're here!'
Unsurprisingly, they still remembered everything that happened in the third dimension. They would not even have come to the seventh dimension if it was not for the matter of life and death.
"What are you all doing? What's up with all the noise pollution? Don't you know it's the middle of the night right now?" shouted Blackie.
"Yeah! You all deserve to die for disrupting Brother Li's sleep!" said Nanan coldly.
"You brought this onto yourself from the moment you decided to poison us!" said Yun Qianshan in a low voice.
"Ha! I can't believe you're blaming us for that. You wouldn't have been poisoned if you didn't steal the animal's poop!" said Dragin.
"Steal…poop?" Yun Qianshan thought he heard wrong. 'What's wrong with them? When did I ever steal poop?'
The others were dumbfounded as well.
"Yes, poop! Don't play dumb!" Dragin swiped her hand across the void, and the ripples turned into a water mirror, playing the scene of the Origins Devouring Bug rushing into the big pit.
Looking at what happened on the screen, the Eldritchs and others fell silent for a while. Then, blood began to gradually become congested in their eyes as they trembled with a sense of despair.
"No! We've been eating poop all this while?!"
"This can't be happening? This is what the fourth dimension has been feeding us? Those are not Origins Devouring Bugs but Poop Devouring Bugs!"
"Yun Qianshan, why would you feed us something like this when we hold no grudge toward each other?"
"The most important thing is that there's poison in this poop! It's cruel! Where's the justice in all this?
"I, I, I...blerghhhh!"
Their brains exploded, Dao Hearts collapsed, and a few of them went crazy on the spot. The mighty Wisdom Elites died of poisoning because of eating poop… This was absolutely a precedent in all of the seven dimensions.
"How dare the seventh dimension play us like this?!" Gu Ai's voice was trembling, his eyes were tearful, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, a far worse thought came to his mind—a lot of the poop was sent to Ancestor Eldritch, meaning to say that he was poisoned as well!
'I can't believe that even you, Ancestor Eldritch, could not see past the seventh dimension's trick. I regret putting my faith in you…' The tall and glorious image of Ancestor Eldritch suddenly collapsed in his heart.
After a long silence, Gu Debai said, "The poop isn't the point right now. What we want is the antidote!" There was no use crying over spilled milk.
"He's right! Whether it's food or poop, it's just a different form of existence. Everything's equal in my eyes. All food becomes poop in the end," said Gu Lie.
As soon as these words were said, everyone else seemed to be comforted and immediately felt much better.
The expressions of the Heavenly Palace people suddenly became weird. They had to admire the poop-eaters ability to comfort themselves.
Xiao Chengfeng sighed and said, "I always thought that when it comes to talking bullsh*t, I'm the best, but compared to you, I'm completely nothing. Your mentality's really up there! So much so that I don't mind passing on to you the title of 'King of Bullshit!'
Gu Ai gritted his teeth and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hand over the antidote!" A murderous aura exploded from his body and rose into the sky as if he was going to attack them at any moment.
Little Fox stepped forward and blinked innocently at them. "You can have the antidote, but you'll have to play chess with me first. I'll give you the antidote if you win," she said melodiously.
She had been losing to Li Nianfan in chess, and desperately needed to find a sense of accomplishment from others. That was why she rushed over tonight.
Gu Ai's eyes narrowed, and he immediately said, "You promise?"
Little Fox nodded and said, "Yeah, of course."
Gu Ai laughed and said, "Hahaha, good! I accept your challenge! Chess is my strong suit. How should we play it?"
Little Fox flicked her wrist and a chessboard appeared in her hand. Then, she tossed the chessboard into the sky. The chessboard glowed brilliantly and merged with the sky.
