Chapter 835 Ancient God Projection
Lin Yi paused slightly when he came to the third floor.
The scene in front of him was extremely luxurious, the crystal chandelier reflected the dazzling light, and the gold lines inlaid on the wall shone brightly, but all this revealed an indescribable sense of disharmony in his eyes, as if a layer of gauze was shrouding the reality.
Lin Yi did not hesitate and released two purification spells on himself in succession.
[Hint: The hunter has gotten rid of the perception misleading. ]
With the hint of the reincarnation paradise, the scene in front of him was like a torn canvas, revealing the truth hidden underneath.
The originally luxurious carpet glowed with a strange oily luster in the moonlight, like some kind of blood and flesh carpet.
Where the chandelier should have been hung on the dome, countless umbilical cord-like nerve bundles were hanging at this moment, and the embryos connected at the end grew human facial features, and the empty eye sockets stared straight at the captain of the guard.
The other party seemed to be unaware of all this and continued to move forward.
From Lin Yi's perspective, every time the captain of the guards took a step, a large amount of mycelium would be lifted from the ground. The sticky silk threads floated in the air and slowly fell back to the ground.
The nerve bundle hanging above his head brushed against the captain of the guards' head, but he just scratched his head and muttered in a low voice: "Why do I suddenly feel a little itchy..."
The captain of the guards stopped in front of a door inlaid with bronze nails with human faces, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
"Who? Don't you know it's prayer time now?" Mike's voice came from inside the door, with obvious displeasure in his tone.
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, the second floor was attacked just now. I wonder if there is anything unusual on your side?" The captain of the guards' voice trembled a little, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
His fear of Mike was almost engraved in his bones, and even his breathing became a little lighter unconsciously.
In Lin Yi's vision, the human face relief on the bronze nails on the surface of the door suddenly came alive.
Those faces that were originally still turned their eyeballs, and the empty eye sockets stared straight at Lin Yi, with a strange arc at the corners of their mouths.
"Boom!"
The whole building tilted 15 degrees without warning, and the captain of the guard was caught off guard and stumbled into the wall.
Before he could stand firm, the drooping nerve bundles suddenly penetrated his limbs.
Mycelium proliferated wildly along the wound and quickly spread to his whole body.
The man's throat made a "gurgling" sound of bubbles surging, his pupils quickly expanded, and his eye sockets were full of strange purple flowers. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a spore puppet, and his face still had the last moment of fear.
"Alas, the warden's toys are getting less and less novel. It's really that any cat or dog dares to come here to make trouble."
Mike's voice suddenly came from the ceiling. Lin Yi raised his head suddenly, and then he found that Mike's face appeared above his head.
"Can you see me?"
Lin Yi took two steps back, and the black and white rose appeared in Lin Yi's hand, guarding against the opponent's sneak attack.
"I can't see it, but my spores encountered some obstacles when passing through your area." Mike's eyes were fixed on the place where Lin Yi stood at the stairs. Although the shadow power perfectly covered Lin Yi's figure, the fact that the spores could not invade that area made Mike notice something unusual.
"As for him..." Mike's eyes swept to the captain of the guard who had turned into a spore puppet, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "What I hate most is useless trash. Even the invaders can't be found, and keeping them is a waste of materials."
Before he finished speaking, the purple flowers in the captain's eyes slowly bloomed, emitting a strange light.
His loyalty was worthless in Mike's eyes, and was not even as useful as an obedient puppet.
Lin Yi looked at Archbishop Mike, and the other party's data appeared in Lin Yi's eyes.

Archbishop Mike glanced at the captain of the guard who was corrupted into a spore puppet beside him, and then controlled it to pounce in the direction of Lin Yi.
Although the spore puppet's movements were stiff, its speed was amazingly fast. Obviously, Mike intended to use it to force Lin Yi out.
Xiaoxue entangled the spore puppet that pounced on it, and before the puppet had time to self-destruct, it was swallowed by Xiaoxue.
Archbishop Mike's eyebrows raised slightly, and the connection between him and the spores was completely cut off the moment Xiaoxue swallowed the puppet.
"This breath... seems to have some connection with my lord?" Mike's voice was full of uncertainty, but more of an interest that was difficult to conceal.
"Zila--"
The blood and flesh carpet on the floor suddenly began to twitch, and the embryo on the top of the head cried at the same time.
Lin Yi's hair on the back of his neck stood up, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
Just as he left the spot, the floor was gnawed by some invisible thing to create a two-meter-diameter hole, with traces of corrosion still remaining on the edge, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Through the gap, Lin Yi glimpsed that the mycelium on the second floor was wriggling wildly, weaving into a huge organ covering the ribs, and the organ slowly contracted with the rhythm of breathing.
At the same time, the sound of chains coming from the underground laboratory became more and more urgent, as if some imprisoned existence was trying to break free.
"Tsk, it's really endless." The black and white rose in Lin Yi's hand rotated and drew a cross afterimage.
Several sword lights intertwined in the air, like a blooming thorn cage, twisting the three spore puppets that suddenly appeared on the floor into a purple mist.
Before the spore puppets could launch an attack, they were turned into powder and dissipated in the air.
"Holy Nova."
A pitch-black halo gushed out from Lin Yi's body. Wherever the halo passed, the ground eroded by spores withered instantly. The originally wriggling flesh and blood carpet seemed to have been drained of vitality, and quickly shrank and collapsed.
Under the erosion of the power of the abyss, these byproducts of the power of the ancient gods could not resist at all.
"Ah--!"
Archbishop Mike on the ceiling suddenly let out a painful roar, and covered his right eye with his right hand, with dark green mucus oozing out from between his fingers.
The whole villa was integrated with Mike under his transformation. At this moment, the erosion of the power of the abyss was tantamount to directly tearing his flesh and blood.
"You... dare!" Mike's voice was filled with uncontrollable anger and pain. The mucus in his right eye slid down his cheek and dripped onto the floor, making a "hissing" corrosion sound.
Lin Yi ignored Mike's roar. Taking advantage of the moment when the other party was distracted, he raised his hand and stabbed the black and white rose into the floor fiercely.
The moment the sword tip sank into the fungal blanket, the power of the abyss poured out like a flood, quickly clearing the surrounding ancient god power.
The dark lines spread wildly like ink dripping into clear water. Wherever they passed, the flesh and blood fungal blankets withered, and the drooping nerve bundles also broke one after another.
"Boom!"
The ceiling under Archbishop Mike suddenly collapsed, forming a black hole with a diameter of three meters.
The nerve bundles made a sound like leather tearing, breaking one after another, and the drooping embryos fell to the ground, making a heart-pounding sound of shattering.
"How dare you pollute the sanctuary!" Mike's face suddenly cracked into six cracks, revealing the gear-like rotating compound eyes inside.
The entire west wall collapsed with a bang, revealing not a masonry structure at all, but countless pulsating purple-red tumors.
The surface of those tumors was covered with wriggling blood vessels, and each pulsation was accompanied by the splashing of sticky liquid, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.
At the same time, Mike's face on the ceiling disappeared.
The bronze door not far away opened, revealing Mike's human body.
His face was still pale, but his eyes had turned into compound eyes.
"Do you think that you can shake the power of our Lord with this little trick?" Mike's voice was low, and the priest robe behind him exploded, and twelve tentacles broke out of his body.
Lin Yi did not retreat but advanced, and the sword blade wrapped in black mist pierced into the group of tentacles.
The sword blade accurately penetrated the white weakness of a tentacle, and the black abyss power rushed in through the wound, quickly eroding the internal structure of the tentacle.
The tentacle began to twitch, and then fell down weakly, and the spiral mouthparts on the surface stopped wriggling.
A trace of anger flashed in Mike's compound eyes, and the remaining eleven tentacles suddenly contracted, like a whip, lashing at Lin Yi.
A sharp sound of breaking wind sounded in the air, and the purple afterimages intertwined into a deadly net, trying to strangle Lin Yi completely.
Lin Yi's figure shuttled through the tentacles. Every time the sword blade swung, it would accurately cut off a tentacle. The power of the abyss continued to erode Mike.
"Your struggle is meaningless." Mike's voice was full of sarcasm, but his movements became more and more violent.
Obviously, Lin Yi's counterattack had already made him feel threatened.
The fungal blanket under Mike's feet suddenly surged, and thousands of spores surrounded him from all directions, like a dense swarm of bees, quickly forming a closed confinement space.
Just as the spore confinement was about to take shape, black lightning flashed around Lin Yi.
The approaching spores quickly disintegrated like confetti burned by flames when they came into contact with the black lightning, and the fungal blanket under Mike's feet also lost its activity.
"Interesting..." Mike suddenly pulled off his left arm, and what gushed out of the broken end was not blood, but countless spores.
"But how much can you purify?" Mike grinned and threw the broken arm into the air.
The broken arm exploded in the air, turning into a huge spore sac with a diameter of ten meters.
Dark purple spores poured down like a rainstorm, and the tentacles protruding from the void cracks suddenly tripled, and each tentacle opened a vertical pupil full of fangs at the end.
Mike completely gave up his human form and began to use his true strength.
"Come on, let me see how long you can last." Mike's voice came from all directions, as if he was integrated with the entire space.
"Soul suppression!"
The tentacles summoned by Mike suddenly stopped moving under the suppression of this force, and the vertical pupils at the end also lost focus.
"Puff!"
Taking advantage of this moment, the black and white rose in Lin Yi's hand drew a cold arc.
Mike's body, which was cut in half, turned into spore dust and dissipated in the air.
"Heh, do you think it will end like this?" Mike's voice came from the ceiling with a hint of sarcasm.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!
Lin Yi looked up and saw Mike's body slowly emerging from the ceiling.
His body was more twisted than before, and the broken tentacle sections were madly proliferating sharp bone spurs, but all the new tissues were corroded into ash by the power of the abyss before they touched Lin Yi, leaving no residue.
"Your power... is indeed problematic." Mike's voice was a little dreadful, but more of an excitement.
Two of his compound eyes suddenly burst, dark green mucus slid down his cheeks, and the remaining four pupils simultaneously shot out decomposition rays, pointing directly at Lin Yi.
"Buzz!"
Lin Yi raised his hand and summoned a pale yellow shield to block in front of him.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the shield, but it was never broken.
Mike quickly retreated and distanced himself from Lin Yi.
This is his home court, and he naturally would not easily expose his weaknesses.
Just as Lin Yi was about to chase, the mycelium brought up by the sole of his boots suddenly turned into sharp teeth, biting his ankle fiercely, trying to drag him into the ground.
Lin Yi leaned back to avoid the sweeping tentacles, and the sword blade slashed out black sword energy to cut off the hyphae - those hyphae that tried to wrap around his ankles gradually withered under the erosion of the abyss.
"Boom!"
The entire floor suddenly arched up and turned into a huge mouth structure, with sharp teeth sticking out from the flesh waves, trying to devour Lin Yi.
The moment the sword tip pierced the drooping nerve bundle, Lin Yi launched [Holy Nova] again.
The pitch-black halo reversely perfused along the umbilical cord-like tube, spreading rapidly like venom.
The originally pulsating nerve bundles quickly withered under the erosion of the abyss, and the embryonic organs connected to them also began to explode.
"Puff! Puff!"
The embryonic organs exploded one after another, and the splashing amniotic fluid was shredded into pieces by Lin Yi's sword wind before it fell to the ground.
The abyss power spread wildly along the nerve bundles, nailing the floor that tried to close in a collapsed state.
The whole villa let out a painful whine, and the blood vessels on the wall twitched violently, as if they were enduring unbearable torture.
Lin Yi's hilt had been embedded in the flesh cocoon in the center of the ceiling at some point, and the power of the abyss spread rapidly like a virus, eroding the spore seedling bed.
Countless fine cracks appeared on the surface of the flesh cocoon, as if it would completely collapse in the next second.
"Crack!"
The tentacles flowing with the power of the ancient gods suddenly spasmed and retracted, leaving deep cracks on the wall that could be seen to the bone.
The entire flesh and blood sanctuary began to run wild, and the broken colored windows sprayed acid rain, and the carved columns twisted into the shape of vertebral joints.
Lin Yi stepped on the fallen marble fragments, and the sword blade wove a spiral vacuum belt in front of him, crushing all the oncoming acid and fragments.
"It's over." Lin Yi slapped the twitching fungal carpet with his left hand.
The condensing spore seedling bed was torn apart, and the scattered fragments were greedily swallowed into the stomach by Xiaoxue.
At the same time, Xiaoxue's tentacles stretched out and pulled Mike out of the flesh dome.
"No! This is impossible!" Mike's voice was filled with despair and anger.
"How dare you pull me out of the mother nest!" Mike's split throat squeezed out an electronically synthesized roar, and seven bone spurs suddenly popped out of his spine, and a beating heart was hung at the end of each bone spur.
These hearts pumped not blood, but spores of astonishing concentration.
Xiaoxue smashed the opponent to the ground, and the blade of the black and white rose accurately cut into the hideous bone spurs.
At the moment when the sword blade collided with the bone spur, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the white weakness that appeared on Mike's body was pierced through by a blow.
"Boom!"
Mike's broken tentacles proliferated wildly into eyeball-shaped tumors and emitted decomposition rays, but were blocked by the shield summoned by Lin Yi.
Seeing that all his means had failed, Mike knew that he had to use the means at the bottom of the box.
"My Lord, please give me your glory and judge these sinners!"
His body began to twist violently, and the flesh under his skin was like boiling mud, constantly surging.
A strange purple light fell from the sky and accurately projected above the villa.
Mike did not hesitate and stabbed the tentacle into his heart with his backhand.
His body collapsed in an instant, turning into a huge spore bed, with countless spores floating in the air, emitting a suffocating stench.
This bed of fungi was like an altar, ready to welcome the terrifying power from ancient times.
The sky was torn apart by some invisible giant hand, and sticky purple slurry gushed out of the cracks, pouring down like the blood of a giant beast.
The sky of the entire Chikong Continent began to ooze out asphalt-like mucus, and the air was filled with a disgusting fishy-sweet smell.
The ground also began to change, and greasy black substances oozed out from the cracks, as if the earth itself was rotting.
Within a radius of three kilometers from the villa area, the rock layer suddenly began to rise and fall like the diaphragm of a living thing, as if the land had come alive and was breathing.
Every rise and fall was accompanied by a low roar.
On the ground, the polluted monsters crawled on the ground one after another.
This is the resonance of flesh and blood with a higher-level existence, and the instinctive submission of lower life to the ancient gods.
Contaminated by the power of the ancient gods, they became the followers of the ancient gods and the extension of his will.
The concentration of the power of the ancient gods in the air of the villa area suddenly rose, but due to the blessing of Xiaoxue and the help of the sword master, the power of the ancient gods could not invade Lin Yi's body for the time being.
Lin Yi understood that if Mike's ritual of summoning the projection of the ancient gods was not interrupted as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.
Lin Yi stretched out his perception, but found that Mike's breath had completely disappeared and merged with the entire house.
There was no way, Lin Yi had to use his ultimate move.
'Yuanying·Cut the Sun.'
As Lin Yi's fingertips brushed across the sword spine, countless sword qi condensed out of thin air and turned into a huge sword blade, hanging in the sky.
The giant sword slowly fell, and the air made a sharp whistle wherever the sword passed.
When the sword blade touched the ground, countless fragments of sword qi burst out like a rainstorm, covering the entire villa area.
The spore bed that Mike turned into was instantly torn into pieces under the ravages of the sword qi.
Those corrupted spores were wiped out in the sword light, leaving no residue.
As Mike's ritual was forcibly interrupted, the projection of the ancient god was also forced to be interrupted.
The sky of the Red Sky Continent was like a canvas wiped by an eraser, and those asphalt-like cracks quickly faded, as if they had never existed.
The remaining seedbed on the ground turned into a human form again and grabbed the sword blade, with the last madness flowing in the hexagonal pupil: "Do you think that you can stop my Lord's projection?"
The mycelium clinging to the black and white rose sword is fissioning at a frequency of three times per second, and the remaining left half of Mike's face reveals ganglion synapses.
The next moment, Mike's body suddenly swelled and turned into a fleshy flower bud with a diameter of 20 meters, with the surface covered with creeping blood vessels and pustules.
The skin of Lin Yi's right arm holding the sword suddenly drilled out black mycelium, trying to invade his body.
The moment these mycelium touched the power of the abyss, they quickly withered as if burned by flames.
Lin Yi turned his wrist, held the hilt of the sword in reverse, and pulled the sword horizontally. A circular sword energy cut off the attacking tentacles one by one.
"Puff!"
The sword energy accurately cut off Archbishop Mike's neck and shattered a crystal core hidden in it.
The moment the crystal core was broken, the blood bar above Archbishop Mike's head returned to zero.
The squirming flesh and blood around him also stopped. The tentacles and tumors that had been growing wildly quickly withered and turned into black ash, drifting away with the wind.
The smell of corruption in the air gradually dissipated, replaced by a dead silence.
