Chapter 1173 Extreme Yin Elemental Body
Chapter 1173 Extreme Yin Elemental Body
I returned to the small house beneath the Demon Tree.
Looking at the treehouse again, Ye Bing realized just how small it was.
The hut was as small as a grain of sand at the foot of a giant, standing beside the gnarled roots of a tree that resembled a dragon and had a diameter comparable to a mountain. Looking up, the enormous tree canopy that disappeared into the chaotic clouds seemed to support the entire sky of the demon realm.
Nangong Qiuyue craned her neck, but all she could see at the end of her vision were the tangled branches and the pervasive mist. The treetop seemed to exist in another dimension. "Yege, just how tall is this tree?"
"Alright, silly, stop looking." Xia Xiyao called out.
Ye Ge and the others entered the treehouse, and Nangong Qiuyue, seeing this, had no choice but to follow suit.
At Hong Kou's prompting, Ye Bing lay down on the bed woven from huge leaves and soft vines.
Hongkou stood by the bed, her expression focused, her two fingers together and held upright in front of her chest, silently reciting an ancient and melodious incantation from the demon realm.
As the incantation flowed, the black and red vines clinging to the treehouse walls seemed to come alive, slowly slithering over like awakened serpents.
They gently wrapped around Ye Bing's wrists and ankles, their movements carrying a strange rhythm. One of the slender, silk-like vines, its tip shimmering with a faint green light, precisely probed into the veins of Ye Bing's arm, as if making some kind of life connection.
Ye Bing frowned slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and then her tense body gradually relaxed, her breathing became steady and long, and she sank into a deep slumber guided by the life energy of the demonic tree.
Nangong Qiuyue watched for a while, her gaze shifting back and forth between the writhing vines and the entangled Ye Bing. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "It feels strangely astringent..."
Night Song: "..."
other people:"......"
Xia Xiyao looked bewildered: "Huh?"
“Xiaoye,” Gao Shenxue said, “the ancient device that suddenly activated in that underground palace looked like some kind of extremely yin formation was activated underground. I think... it shouldn’t be that simple.”
“I know.” Ye Ge stroked his chin, pondering, “So I’m wondering, what exactly is that device for?”
“That device was powered by the power of the Yin God.” Gao Shenxue looked at him. “Your Yin left eye also resonated strongly back then. Are you feeling any discomfort now?”
“I should be fine,” Night Song said. “Controlling divine power costs me almost nothing.”
"..."
While everyone was talking.
Outside the window, the "thing" that had quietly slipped out of the shadows of the crowd, resembling viscous ink, silently crawled upwards, clinging tightly to the bottom of the treehouse window sill.
It slowly poked its "head" out, revealing a pair of eerie "eyes" devoid of any emotion, only pure dark in color, like two bottomless holes, staring intently at the backs of Ye Ge and the others inside the room. After lingering for a moment, it silently slid down like melted wax, completely merging into the shadows on the ground and disappearing from sight.
Almost the instant it disappeared, Hongkou's gaze swept towards the window like lightning, and she whispered a reminder: "Father."
Ye Ge calmly replied, "Mm."
......
That pure black "thing" moved like a flowing shadow, darting rapidly through the intricate shadows of the streets and alleys of Snowdrift City. It had no physical form, and its movement was as silent as ink spreading on rice paper.
Finally, it came to a stop in a secluded alleyway, in the heavy shadow cast by a giant demonic fern. Its pure black "body" began to stretch and shape upwards, gradually coalescing into a blurry humanoid silhouette.
This "person" was entirely black, without facial features or hair, resembling a crude doll sculpted from the purest shadows. The only distinguishing feature was two round, bean-sized dark dots embedded in its face, which could barely be considered eyes. It was covered by an ancient-style robe of an apostle of the Yin God, also composed of shadows.
"Unexpectedly, so many years after the Annihilation Era, the Demon Realm has actually been rebuilt."
Its mouthless "face" twitched slightly, emitting a low, hoarse sound like sandpaper rubbing, and its beady eyes surveyed the demon capital, which was far more prosperous than described in ancient records.
It crouched down, a hand made entirely of shadow touching the cold ground, attempting to sense some connection. After a moment, a flicker of confusion crossed DouDou's eyes: "Unfortunately, this demon realm seems to block its connection to the outside world. It can't contact the Fallen Priest's Palace, nor can it transmit the demon realm's coordinates..."
"What do you want to convey?" A calm voice rang out in his "ear" without warning!
The Yin Elemental Body's heart stirred, and he turned around abruptly, only to see Ye Ge's face appear behind him!
"Darkborn - Demon Tree Tendrils Bind!"
Hongkou's cool voice followed immediately!
"Puff-puff-!"
Countless tough roots, shimmering with dark red magic patterns and resembling giant pythons, instantly broke through the hard ground, carrying the stench of earth, and frantically coiled upwards, instantly binding the shadowy body of the Extreme Yin Apostle tightly!
"!" Upon seeing this, the Yin Elemental Body reacted quickly, its entire "body" instantly liquefying into a pool of writhing, thick black ink, attempting to seep through the gaps in its roots and escape!
"Divine Art - Wind Binding Seal: Imprisonment!"
Nangong Qiuyue's sharp rebuke rang out!
Her straight blade traced a mysterious path! In an instant, the invisible power of wind transformed into countless pale blue energy chains, like a woven spiderweb, precisely enveloping the pool of black ink that was trying to escape! The wind chains coiled around it, instantly freezing its flowing form!
Immediately afterwards, four small flying robots beside Gao Shenxue flew out.
They hovered in the air, their surfaces glowing with blinding blue electric light!
“Sizzle——!!!”
Four violent bolts of electricity shot out instantly, converging at the center to form a crackling, unbreakable net-like lightning cage, trapping the Yin Apostle bound by the wind chains within!
A powerful electric current surged through its shadowy body, producing a sickening hissing sound that made it tremble and twist violently, rendering it unable to maintain its shape any longer!
"Demon Tree Tendrils - Soul Suppressor!"
Hongkou seized the opportunity and activated her magic once again.
More and thicker roots of the magic tree broke through the soil!
This time, they were no longer simply entwined, but like living needles, with a penetrating power that disregarded physical form, they pierced fiercely into the liquefied and forcibly solidified "elemental body" of the Yin Apostle!
"Ugh—!" A sharp pain originating from the soul caused the Yin elemental body to let out a silent scream!
The roots, like sewing needles, frantically pierced and intertwined within his body, eventually shaping his entire "person" into a giant "+" shape, firmly nailing him to the rough trunk of a demonic tree summoned by Hongkou! The roots were deeply embedded in the trunk, merging with him, completely depriving him of any possibility of struggling.
