Chapter 320 Photographing Green 7
Huadi, Wu Dehui, and Xingzai, as if all their strength had been drained, slumped to the ground, gasping for breath, trying to regulate their disordered breathing and recover their strength as quickly as possible. Just then, they suddenly heard a slight noise, and they all raised their heads at the same time, their eyes fixed on the altar in the middle.
The corpse, which had been lying there quietly, suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if an invisible force was surging within it. The three people's expressions instantly became solemn. They looked at each other and saw a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
However, despite feeling somewhat uneasy, they did not immediately stand up, but continued to do their utmost to recover. After all, their current condition was too poor. If they acted rashly, they would not only be unable to cope with the possible danger, but would also put themselves in a worse situation.
Hua Di pondered inwardly, realizing he hadn't shared an important piece of information with Wu Dehui and Xingzi. Just before he left, Uncle Feng had relayed a message to him through a special means: once all the outer corpses were destroyed, the final three corpses located at these three nodes would undergo a startling transformation. Not only would their strength be greatly enhanced, but even worse, these three corpses would eventually give rise to an extremely terrifying entity—"She Qing"!
The so-called "Sheqing" is an extremely rare and powerful evil creature, its appearance often accompanied by great disaster and death. Uncle Feng's biggest headache is that he has no idea which corpse will evolve into a "Sheqing", because only the person who arranged the Seventy-Two Earthly Evils Ghost Formation knows the secret.
Although Huadi had no idea which node would produce Sheqing, deep down he eagerly hoped that the node he was in would evolve into Sheqing. He knew the origin and characteristics of Sheqing very well.
As far as he knew, the formation of a Green Ghost wasn't accidental, but rather the result of a series of extremely cruel processes. When a person is persecuted by others through inhumane means, on the verge of death, and then ruthlessly abandoned in a place filled with yin energy like a mass grave, they are trapped in a desperate situation where they can neither live nor die.
However, in the midst of extreme pain and resentment, this man still stubbornly persevered, struggling for many days before finally taking his last breath. It was this attachment to life and deep resentment towards his persecutors that made it possible for him to become a green ghost after death.
Furthermore, the longer a Green Ghost endures its torment, the more intense its resentment grows. This resentment not only causes its corpse to undergo a transformation, transforming it into a being with boundless demonic power, but also causes its soul to detach from its body and hunt down its enemies over great distances, rendering them incapable of escape even over a thousand miles.
The Green Ghost is neither a formal ghost nor a human being; it transcends the Three Realms (the divine, human, and ghost realms). Because of this, many common magical instruments are powerless against it and are unable to subdue it.
These unique properties of Sheqing make it nearly impossible to completely destroy. Not to mention its immense strength and invulnerability, its teleportation-like abilities alone are beyond the reach of ordinary humans. However, Sheqing's greatest strength lies in its extremely yin properties. But this very strength may also be its only weakness.
Since ancient times, yin and yang have been mutually restraining. The natural enemy of extreme yin is extreme yang, and vice versa. When these two extremes clash, the key factor determining victory or defeat often lies in the strength of each opponent. Wu Dehui's cultivation technique happens to possess an extremely yang attribute. Combined with Xingzai's special abilities and Huadi's support, defeating Sheqing is not entirely impossible.
As for Uncle Feng and Yu Zhenzi, if they were unlucky enough to encounter She Qing, their chances of survival would be slim. This wasn't because Uncle Feng and Yu Zhenzi were weak, but because their cultivation techniques would be suppressed by She Qing's extremely yin nature.
Seeing the astonishing transformation of the corpse on the central altar, Hua Di's expression grew serious. He turned to Wu Dehui beside him and said, "Ah Hui, do you remember how you improved your skills before our battle with Tian Can? The situation is critical now, so hurry up and do it! Xingzai and I will be here to support you and wait for your return."
Wu Dehui's eyes flashed with determination when he heard Hua Di's words. He knew time was running out and couldn't afford to hesitate. So, without hesitation, he stood up, summoned his Qing Gong skills, and left the underground palace as swiftly as the wind.
Xingzi watched Wu Dehui leave, feeling somewhat puzzled, but he didn't question them. He knew neither Huadi nor Wu Dehui were irresponsible. Wu Dehui must have had his reasons for leaving, and they must have been to strengthen his own skills in order to cope with the crisis at hand.
Although Sing Zai is still unclear about what Wu Dehui is going to do, he has full trust in both Wah Di and Wu Dehui. He believes in their decision and believes that he and Wah Di can hold on until Wu Dehui returns.
So, Xingzai no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and used all his strength to start restoring his damaged body.
At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on the altar in the center. The lifeless corpse suddenly began to emit a faint green light. At first, the green light was very weak, but as time passed, it gradually became deeper and more dazzling, as if it was illuminating the entire underground palace.
As the azure light deepened, the underground palace began to shake violently, as if the very earth itself were trembling. Huadi and Xingzai, standing nearby, were also affected by the azure light. Huadi, after all, possessed an extremely yang nature, and was relatively resistant to this azure light. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he could still manage. However, Xingzai was not so lucky. His body was gradually corroded by the azure light, becoming chilled and gloomy, as if enveloped by an extremely cold aura.
Seeing this, Huadi knew the situation was not good and quickly mobilized his own power, continuously transferring it to Xingzai, hoping to help him resist the influence of the green light. However, despite Huadi's full efforts, Xingzai's condition did not improve significantly. His body continued to tremble and his face became increasingly pale.
At this tense moment, the corpse on the central altar, illuminated by the azure light, gradually completed its final transformation. The once shrunken corpse now began to plump up, its skin gradually regaining its elasticity, and even its hair began to grow. Hua Di watched this unfold with wide eyes, a sense of foreboding welling up within him—perhaps the corpse here was the true Sheqing!
Thinking of this, Huadi's heart became heavier. He didn't know what the consequences of this photo shoot would bring, nor did he know if he and Xingzi would be able to leave the underground palace safely.
As the green light from the corpse grew stronger, as if about to break free from some kind of restraint, suddenly, an even more dazzling green light erupted like a volcanic eruption! This green light was like a flash of green lightning, instantly illuminating the entire underground palace. Its brightness was so high that it was jaw-dropping.
Huadi and his companions were blinded by the sudden green light. They could only see a white blur. The green light lasted only a few seconds, but it was enough to severely irritate their eyes and bring tears to their eyes.
After the green light vanished, the light within the underground palace quickly dimmed, as if swallowed by the same green light. Huadi and his companions, who had been relying on their wolf-eye flashlights for illumination, discovered that theirs had been completely destroyed by the burst of green light, no longer emitting a single ray of light. The entire underground palace was plunged into pitch-black darkness, leaving one feeling an inexplicable sense of dread and oppression.
Just as Huadi and his companions were recovering from the shock of the green light, a faint sound suddenly emanated from the underground palace. "Pata!" Though soft, it was remarkably clear in the deathly silence. Huadi and his companions' hearts skipped a beat, as if being gripped by an invisible hand.
At the same moment the voice rang out, Huadi suddenly felt a chilling presence on his chest, a chill that seemed to emanate from the netherworld. His body shuddered involuntarily, and a sense of foreboding washed over him. Without time to dwell on it, Huadi exerted all his strength, desperately trying to move his body, trying to escape the chilling presence.
