Chapter 60: Come on, let’s fight!
The “unification of the gods” is a technique that sounds a lot like the orthodox “invocation of the gods” technique. In fact, the principles are similar. The “invocation of the gods” technique involves inviting the gods to possess the body and borrowing a tiny portion of their “divine power.” The “unification of the gods” technique, as its name suggests, involves inviting something and then unifying it into one.
But in fact, “the art of merging with the gods” and “the art of inviting the gods” are very different. To put it simply, “the art of merging with the gods” should actually be classified as a kind of evil magic! Its power is more than twice that of “the art of inviting the gods”! No, it should be said that its power is great! Therefore, it can be classified as a secret art!
Why do I say this? Because the “Invocation of Gods” is to invite the right gods. In simple terms, it is to have a name and a tablet, a god with a proper name. These so-called “gods” are of course extremely powerful, but to put it in a non-reverent way, they are also extremely “stingy.” Perhaps they are afraid that the person who invites the gods will mess around. In short, the power of the gods that can be used is only a very small, very small part.
However, the “union of gods” is not necessarily the right god, but a variety of powerful beings with extraordinary skills, such as the “immortals” who are about to attain enlightenment, such as mountain demons and river monsters, and even the most ordinary, even the mountain gods who do not have a shrine.
This is different from the art of inviting gods. After they are invited, they will at least lend more than 50% of their power to the person who invited them. Such powerful abilities naturally cannot be used externally, and can only be exerted when they are combined into one. This is why it is called the “art of combining gods”!
The person possessed will generally have the aura, characteristics, and demeanor of the spirit that possesses them. For example, a person who is possessed by a snake spirit will have snake-like movements and even over time, their face and eyes will take on a snake-like appearance.
The characteristics of the person who has been possessed will also depend on the power of the possessed god. Lao Hui’s body has become burly and strong this time, but he has a hunched back. Even the skin, which is rarely affected in a short period of time, has changed, indicating that the guy who was invited is not a small ability!
But I feel so sorry for Lao Hui. Any technique that can be called a secret technique must have a price, not to mention a technique with such great power. I looked at Lao Hui’s forehead, where it was most obvious, and sure enough, there was a clear blood mark. Lao Hui had sacrificed his essence!
Because the “unification of the gods” requires the sacrifice of blood, which is permitted by the heavens. This is fair!
But what is essence blood? It contains a person’s spirit, even vitality. Once, Gao Ning took a very small amount of my essence blood in order to speed up the evolution of the mother worm. My master’s family used a great deal of money to give me tonics, but they may not have completely made up for it. This time, Lao Hui…
However, I was not allowed to think too much. Lao Hui let out a roar that shook the heavens, and his fists flew out with a sound that seemed to shatter the air. It was obvious that the alchemy had been completed, and the power that had surged up had made him need to vent it!
“Chengyi, don’t blame me for using evil magic.” Lao Hui’s heavy voice, as if it came from his chest, echoed in the basement.
“There is no evil magic, only evil people!” I said, but I didn’t dare to say anything else, because time was of the essence and I needed to prepare the desperate technique I had always wanted to use.
Laohui naturally stood in front of me. I recognized that Laohui had summoned a legendary mountain monster鈥攖he mountain demon, which was extremely powerful, proficient in earth-moving magic, and had a violent, aggressive, and agile temperament.
The art of earth magic has long been lost. Its disappearance in the human world has also affected many mountain spirits and wild monsters in a strange way. My master once said about the mountain ape: “They practice the earth magic of the five elements, which is much more powerful than ours. The funny thing is that since the human magic has been lost, they have no way to practice it, and can only rely on their natural talents to grope for some rudimentary magic.”
“Master, is there really such a thing as a mountain ape? You’re not talking about some weird-looking monkey, are you?”
“Can a monkey be called a shanxiong? I don’t want to talk to you about whether there is a shanxiong or not, but if there is, you have to be careful of its speed. It is naturally close to the earth, and it shrinks into an inch. This legendary earth-moving technique that defies the heavens, it naturally won’t use it, but it is vulgar, it will naturally improve some speed, hide some of its shape, so it is always unpredictable. The master told me a story about the mountain demon, just like a common folk tale.
At this moment, I remembered everything. Lao Hui is Lao Hui. He knows how to deal with the speed and power of the little ghost zombies! His calculations are watertight, he is bold enough to use the magic of the gods, and he is meticulous in considering every detail.
Lao Hui’s eyes had become very irritable, but in the end, he had not lost his clarity. The technique of combining the gods was not a possession, and his own thoughts still dominated. He took out his knife, a knife full of positive energy and evil spirits, and roared at Lu Fanming.
Lu Fanming’s expression also became serious. Perhaps he was not afraid of Lao Hui, but I knew that he was afraid of my attack!
There is a forbidden magic circle here, and we can’t use our full power, but Lao Hui bypassed this and used a sacrificial secret technique that required very little of his own power, which posed a threat to him!
You have to know that Lao Hui probably doesn’t even consider him as good as an ant, let alone me, who is well-known for my many secret arts and techniques, and who is also a descendant of Lao Li. How could he not be wary?
“It seems that you can’t underestimate anyone!” Lu Fanming said with a smile, then closed his eyes and the blood pool began to churn…
I knew the little demon was about to come out. Lu Fanming had trained the little demon, and he and the little demon were connected by the spirit. He summoned it without even using any magic! The spirit could come as soon as it arrived.
Facing Lu Fanming’s movements, Lao Hui let out a provocative cry again… Time was running out, so I closed my eyes and clenched a strange hand seal with my hands. Since there was a forbidden magic circle here, I could only raise my own power to the limit. The hand seal I was clenching was a hand seal that could raise my soul power in a short period of time. It was more effective than the pills my master gave me. It was equivalent to using a certain method to force my brain to give my soul an order, a temporary boost and burst that disregarded future damage.
There are seven sets of this hand technique, with 49 movements. It requires extremely fast movements, and the technique must be performed perfectly. Therefore, I must concentrate to the limit, which is even more of a burden than meditation. But I can’t afford to lose, I must finish it.
My hands were flying through various hand movements, and I was extremely nervous. After all, this secret method was the first time I had used it. Fortunately, although I had not used these movements in a row like today, I had practiced them separately many times.
I closed my eyes, which is a rare occurrence now. After all, there are many situations that require calm and concentration. When I cast spells, I am rarely affected by external influences, but now I have to close my eyes, which shows how much I value it.
The hand signs were almost formed in a second, and as the hand signs were rapidly changed and played, my soul seemed to be infused with a trace of stimulant, becoming powerful and agitated. At this time, I had to distract myself to suppress the agitated soul, so as not to affect my absolutely quiet hand signs. In fact, this technique is extremely dangerous, like walking on a tightrope. If it were not for the situation, I would never use this technique.
I don’t know the situation of Lao Hui, and I don’t know what the battle is like outside. I can only feel from the occasional tremors on the ground that the battle must be very fierce.
Fortunately, my magic never suffered any impact. Although it was only a short period of a few dozen seconds, in the battle of magic, the master’s moves are decisive for life and death in a matter of seconds!
Laohui must have fought extremely hard and desperately for me, but I dared not think about it. Even because my mind was absolutely focused, I didn’t even hear the sounds outside.
The last five hand gestures, the last three, the last one… When the hand gestures were finally completed, my hands were in pain, as if they were cramping. You have to know that each movement of the hand gestures is extremely complicated, not like the movements that human fingers can make.
But the pain in my hands was only a small matter. The most important thing was the burden on my body and brain. After the entire set of movements was completed, my body was drenched in sweat, my clothes were soaked, and they were tightly pressed against my body.
But my pain only lasted for less than a second. As I let go of my mind and allowed my soul to rise, the next moment, a feeling of extreme comfort, comfort, and joy rose from my soul, suppressing all the pain. This should be a more addictive feeling than ‘drug use,’ and the soul was greatly elevated in an instant! It was almost enough to make one forget oneself!
Come on, let’s fight! I opened my eyes and my eyes became cold…
