Chapter 583 Sun-Swallowing Clam
Xie Que already knew the location of the secret realm, and he was also familiar with the method of opening it.
Therefore, whether on the way to the secret realm or in the process of entering the secret realm, he did not show any abnormality or flaws.
He and the Three-phase God cooperated tacitly. According to the established process, they passed through the entrance of the secret realm and entered it without any obstacles.
When passing through the space gap layer, the surrounding light gradually dissipated, and Xie Que's eyes were suddenly shrouded in a deep darkness.
In this deep darkness, Xie Que's sight only had one light source, which was the erupting volcanic magma.
The red and hot lava flowed freely on the earth, illuminating Xie Que's vision.
Tian Yuzhu's tone had obviously changed from excitement just now to respect. He slowly said:
"Let's go to see His Majesty Qianye first. I believe Miss Mustard has been waiting for us there for a long time."
After hearing Tian Yuzhu's words, the other two masters nodded slightly, and four dragons of different shapes flew in the same direction.
At the same time, Xie Que was constantly looking at this secret realm.
He looked around and found that there was neither the sun nor the moon nor the stars in the sky, as if he was in a completely different time and space.
On the entire land, he could not find a trace of green plants, only obsidian reflecting a faint light,
and the lava that kept flowing and seemed to have life covered the land, forming a strange scene.
He tried to expand his sensing range, but within his perception, all the scenes were like this, seemingly endless.
Xie Que was thinking in his heart, and suddenly he felt that there seemed to be a huge object in front of him that was undulating.
He looked up and saw a continuous mountain range in the distance, but this mountain range was slightly shaking, as if breathing rhythmically.
In order to observe more clearly, Xie Que's figure suddenly flew higher.
At this time, Tian Yuzhu, who was standing aside, looked at this scene and smiled:
"I didn't expect His Majesty the Sun-Swallowing Clam to wake up."
"His Majesty the Sun-Swallowing Clam?"
A trace of doubt flashed through Xie Que's mind.
This name was completely new to him, he had never heard of it.
Even in the part of An Yujinyu's memory that he obtained through soul searching, this name had never appeared.
Suddenly, the "mountain" that was millions of feet high and stretched for thousands of miles seemed to have sensed the return of the four great masters and slowly turned its head.
It was not until this moment that Xie Que really saw the true face of this "mountain".
It turned out to be a huge black toad!
Except for its huge pupils like meteorites that emitted a dazzling light like the sun, its whole body was pitch black, and no other color could be seen.
Xie Que took a deep breath and was full of astonishment.
Among the many gods of creation he had seen, none of them could have such a terrifying body, unless they used some powerful magical power similar to the law of heaven and earth.
However, he could clearly perceive that the huge body of this toad was not caused by magical powers, but its body was really so huge.
What confused Xie Que even more was that this toad didn't seem to be a monster in the ordinary sense.
It didn't exude any monster spirit, nor did it have the kind of holiness brought by the incense of faith.
After some induction, Xie Que found that the deep black color on the toad's body was caused by the disordered operation of yin and yang.
It was also because of this that no light could escape its body, causing it to appear pure black.
The so-called disordered operation of yin and yang actually refers to the fact that within the body of this huge toad,
the yin energy is vast and boundless, as unfathomable as the abyss, and at the same time it is very hot, as if it contains the flames of the core of the stars.
Its soul turned into pure yang energy, which was not warm and hot, but extremely cold, as if even time could be frozen by it.
What's more peculiar is that not only the yin and yang energy,
but also the tangible five elements energy on this toad also showed a disordered operation.
This operation mode completely broke the routine and was elusive.
At the same time, Xie Que also suddenly realized it in this instant.
The "Inverted Five Elements Mountain" he knew before was probably not referring to a specific place name, but the huge toad in front of him called "Sun Swallowing Clam".
His Majesty the Sun Swallowing Clam seemed a little tired at this moment. The life and death energy intertwined and flowed in his deep eyes, and then condensed into a faint film on his body surface.
This film seemed fragile, but it contained the power of sealing, separating the life and death energy. The lower part was dead and the upper part was full of vitality.
Xie Que could see the extraordinaryness of this film at a glance.
It was not only a concrete manifestation of the reversal of yin and yang and the reversal of the five elements, but also more like a kind of sealing power.
Replacing vitality with death energy, this method of reversing the universe undoubtedly showed that there must be some extremely terrifying existence suppressed in the body of His Majesty the Sky Swallowing.
Xie Que didn't know how the Sun-Swallowing Clam managed to reverse the yin and yang and the five elements, but he could clearly see that its body was indeed formed by the convergence of the reversed five elements.
This reversal made the qi of life and death completely opposite, forming a unique balance.
Among all things in the world, no matter what they are, they are all made of yin and yang and the five elements. They are mutually generated and restrained, which is the law of nature.
However, in the body of this Sun-swallowing Clam, this law of mutual generation and mutual restraint seems to be broken.
Due to the disorder of the five elements, the more powerful the power, the more severe the restraint under this inverted power.
Even the God of Creation cannot escape the constraints of this rule.
"It turned out to be His Majesty the Three-phase God... and His Majesty the Wind and Thunder..."
Although the voice of the Sun-swallowing Clam seemed old and weak, it did not reveal any negative emotions, but revealed a calm and calm.
When Tian Yuzhu heard the voice of the Sun-swallowing Clam, he seemed a little excited.
He asked eagerly: "Your Majesty the Sun-swallowing Clam, what is the situation now?"
The Sun-swallowing Clam replied in a low voice:
"I just feel that my body is becoming more and more weak, and my soul is extremely weak. I can't even do the simplest driving..."
Although this answer seems to have no direct relationship with the question asked by Tian Yuzhu, the eyes of the Three-phase God became more and more excited when he heard this answer.
The three great masters looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement.
The Earth Lord was so excited that he could not help but say loudly:
"It seems that His Majesty Qianye will be revived soon!"
The Sky Lord raised his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile:
"It seems that, the old man Rilian monk is now dead or alive, and he has not come here to strengthen the power of His Majesty the Sun Swallowing Clam. This just shows that His Majesty Qianye is about to break the seal and reign over the world again!"
Xie Que looked up at the huge toad. He could clearly feel that the vitality in the Sun Swallowing Clam was as heavy as a mountain, and the death energy was as surging as fire. He didn't know how many years it took to accumulate.
At this moment, Xie Que suddenly understood why the Sun Swallowing Clam God allowed the cycle of life and death in Yingzhou to be disordered.
I'm afraid that the vitality and death energy accumulated in Yingzhou every 30,000 years are all used to strengthen the seal on the body of the Sun Swallowing Clam.
And the more powerful His Majesty the Sun Swallowing Clam is, the more solid the seal on Qianye True Dragon will naturally be.
Suddenly, the Sun-Swallowing Clam raised its head with difficulty, and its pair of eyes that looked like the blazing sun,
actually stared straight at Xie Que, and its voice was low:
"Something is wrong..."
"Although there is the breath of the Wind and Thunder Scroll, you should not be An Yujinyu, right?"
Xie Que knew in his heart that although the Sun-Swallowing Clam looked weak, its power of reversing the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements was extremely strange and should not be underestimated.
Moreover, he did not use the Wu Chou mask to conceal his aura, so it was not surprising that such a being saw through his disguise.
Since his identity had been discovered, Xie Que no longer concealed it and simply withdrew from this dragon posture.
As he changed, his sleeves fluttered.
He put the Wind and Thunder Scroll directly into the underworld. Under the blessing of the five underworld qi in his body, Xie Que's aura underwent earth-shaking changes.
He exuded a cold aura, but at the same time he was extremely majestic, as if the Lord of the Netherworld had descended to the world, controlling the power of life and death in the world.
The Three-phase God and others looked at the original "His Highness Fenglei" in astonishment, and the whole scene suddenly fell into a dead silence.
And Tianyuzhu's pupils shrank, and his voice trembled a little: "Kurokawa Takeshi... Is it you?"
Xie Que ignored Tianyuzhu, because in his eyes,
Although the Three-phase God has a certain strength, it only stays at the level of "good", not to mention posing any substantial threat to him.
Just as the Three-phase God was brewing to form a formation and prepare to join forces to deal with Xie Que,
the Sun-swallowing Clam spit out a bubble, which directly wrapped the Three-phase God's figure.
"Kurokawa Takeshi?"
The Sun-swallowing Clam asked curiously: "Are you the so-called 'variable' mentioned by Miss Mustard Seed?"
Xie Que smiled lightly, looking calm, as if he was not surprised by this question.
It seems that those so-called fortune tellers do have some real skills and are not just for nothing.
This time he came to Yingzhou, and to some extent, he did become an unpredictable variable in this world.
"Variable? This word is quite appropriate." Xie Que responded, and at the same time his eyes swept across the huge body of the Sun-Swallowing Clam from top to bottom.
The Sun-Swallowing Clam's eyes were as deep as the sea, and the dead air in them was surging, like a turbulent sea:
"The monk Rilian fell into a deep sleep, and this matter should also be related to you, right?"
However, Xie Que did not answer this question directly. As the ultimate secret between heaven and earth, the fewer people know about the Heavenly Barrier, the better.
Maybe he can use this secret to set traps for others in the future.
So he chose to respond with a smile and changed the subject:
"Let me guess..."
"Qianye Zhenlong, he is in your body now, right?"
When the Three-phase God heard this, his already ugly face became even gloomier.
They never expected that this person who they met by chance on the road and was once considered a colleague,
has now become their enemy, and is very likely to endanger the birth of His Majesty Qianye.
The Sun-Swallowing Clam sighed deeply and said:
"Wrong, but not entirely wrong. Qianye True Dragon and I are actually twins. He is me and I am him."
It paused and continued:
"If you choose to kill me now, then Qianye True Dragon will immediately escape and regain his freedom."
After listening, Xie Que nodded thoughtfully: "I see."
At this moment, he finally understood what method Nichiren God used to seal the Qianye True Dragon.
To put it simply, the soul and body of Qianye True Dragon are reversed and exchanged through a secret method.
The body that originally represented the yang side, under the influence of the seal, turned into the cold and pure silver existence it is now;
The soul, which originally represented the negative side, was transformed into the most yang and strong form.
Although Yang Shen is pure Yang in nature, the actual soul still represents the Yin side.
Lord Nichiren was able to turn all of this upside down, showing magical powers that Xie Que had never thought of.
This is enough to show that Nichiren Kami’s attainments in Yin Yang and Five Elements have reached an incredible level.
It is almost possible to reshape earth, fire, geomantic omen with the power of Yin Yang and Five Elements. This state is really terrifying!
However, if Xie Que thought about it carefully, he could understand the reason.
In the land of Yingzhou, spiritual intelligence is relatively weak.
In order to enhance their own strength, Onmyoji masters have to deeply understand the mysteries of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.
The source of all this is probably the inheritance and influence of Nichiren Kami.
The sun-swallowing clam seemed a little tired. It yawned and asked in a lazy tone:
"So, what is your real purpose of coming here?"
It stared into Xie Que's eyes: "Do you want to imitate Monk Nichiren and further strengthen this seal, or do you plan to kill me and release the Qianye True Dragon?"
After hearing this, Xie Que smiled slightly and asked, "Why, aren't you afraid of death?"
But Sun Swallowing Clam shook his head indifferently and said calmly:
"For so many years... I have been trapped here. Life and death are meaningless to me."
Its tone revealed a kind of detachment and calmness, as if it had taken life and death lightly.
Xie Que frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again:
"So, what is the meaning of your existence?"
Sun-Tunning Clam yawned again, and replied a little tiredly:
"It doesn't make any sense, it's just that I'm just a cage to imprison Qianye True Dragon."
"If you want to kill me and release Qianye True Dragon, then do it!"
After hearing this, Xie Que suddenly understood, and at the same time, he also felt a little troublesome.
His original purpose of coming here was to find out whether Qianye True Dragon still held the mark of Tianxin.
But now it seems that this seemingly simple task has become a bit responsible.
He fell into deep thought: Should he release the Qianye True Dragon, or continue to maintain the seal like Lord Nichiren?
Both options have their own pros and cons, making it difficult for him to decide.
Just when Xie Feng was getting entangled,
Suddenly, a bright golden light flashed before his eyes. These lights intertwined vertically and horizontally, like a huge golden chessboard crashing to the ground.
In the center of the chessboard, Mustard Zi's face slowly emerged.
"Kurokawa Takeshi," Mustard Zi's voice sounded in Xie Que's ears,
"Since you're already here, how about negotiating a deal with me?" (End of Chapter)
