NOVEL NEXT Chapter 822: Five Mountains Venerable
All the divine artifacts were shining, various divine skills erupted simultaneously, with curses, fiery flames, ice cold, and even the space dao tearing the void...
This myriad of divine skills seemed capable of erasing any divine!
The small figure of the Rabbit was instantly engulfed by the myriad divine skills and divine artifacts.
The divine beasts believed that the Rabbit was doomed!
"Rabbit, you're overconfident, why do you think you alone can resist our hundreds of divine beasts?!"
"Rabbit, you're dead today!"
"..."
At this moment, a loud explosion sounded!
Boom!
A massive carrot cloud soared into the sky, with a wave of shockwave hundreds of meters high beneath it!
Everywhere the giant wave passed, the divine skills released by the treasures of the divine beasts were all shattered!
"What?" The divine beasts were shocked.
And something more terrifying was yet to come, an ancient divine sword collided with the shockwave, and the ancient sword shattered like it was made of glass!
"Pfft!" A divine beast spat blood and fell to the ground under the guidance of Qi, eyes filled with horror, exclaiming: "How is this possible?"
Then he witnessed an even more terrifying scene, hundreds of divine artifacts were simultaneously struck by the giant wave, and in the blink of an eye, all divine artifacts were shattered, turning into dust, devoured by the giant wave!
Hundreds of divine beasts simultaneously spat blood, their faces full of shock.
"Run!" A divine beast shouted and turned to flee.
But it was all too late!
The speed of the giant wave was too fast, they couldn't use divine skills, relying only on their physical bodies, how could they outrun the shockwave?
Wherever the shockwave passed, one after another, the divine beasts turned to ash...
Despair and wailing sounded simultaneously at this moment, yet also dissipated at this moment.
On the other side, the barks-at-heaven dog and Jidian launched their strongest strikes, the barks-at-heaven dog's divine artifact was unexpectedly a set of dentures, those dentures, hard as metal, directly bit off a small half of the black giant stone!
Jidian's fan emitted divine light, waving it, the Buddha light shone brilliantly: "Transcend!"
Boom!
The black giant stone was already full of cracks, under this strike, the black giant stone exploded!
Then Yi Zheng's shockwave arrived, grinding those fragments once more until they turned into stone dust, finally dispersing with the shockwave.
"It's over, huff, huff..." The barks-at-heaven dog panted heavily.
Jidian nodded: "Hm, it should be over."
"No, it's not over yet!"
At this moment, Yi Zheng walked over, looking at the sky with a serious expression: "I can't see the stars, the formation is still there!
Logically, if the formation's orchestrator was dead, the power of this formation would be greatly diminished. But I still can't fly, I can't use divine skills, this means the formation is still there, and so is the Mount Tai God!"
Both Jidian and the barks-at-heaven dog's faces turned somewhat grim.
Jidian frowned: "Not dead yet? It shouldn't be, that was his true form, that's something everyone knew."
Yi Zheng squinted and asked: "Everyone knew? Since when did everyone know that?"
Jidian replied: "Since the first divine beast gathering..."
At this, Jidian thought carefully, then slapped his thigh and said: "I remember now, that guy seemed to mention intentionally or unintentionally every time that the stone was his true form!"
Then Jidian analyzed: "That's it, Mount Tai City wasn't always a system city, I had investigated earlier, it was a city built by players later on.
And that city was built with the help of the Mount Tai God.
So to thank the Mount Tai God, they established a giant stone on the square resembling Mount Tai.
This led many to believe that the Mount Tai God was Mount Tai cultivated into essence.
However, a mountain becoming essence is too fantastical in itself, so many people, upon seeing the Mount Tai God, would inquire.
Those with thick skin would ask directly, those embarrassed would ask indirectly.
And every time, the Mount Tai God would express generously and explain...
Although everyone knew later that his true form was this stone and not Mount Tai. But due to some reasons, whether joking or boasting, they'd say the Mount Tai God was Mount Tai essence."
The barks-at-heaven dog said: "No wonder I always heard people say Mount Tai was his true form, turns out I was misled. Wait, how come I didn't notice this the previous times I came..."
Jidian ignored him, instead looking at the location where the giant stone had just shattered, then his pupils dilated, taking a deep breath and said: "Look there!"
The three of them looked simultaneously, only to see that where the stone had shattered, tiny particles were actually floating!
Looking closely, they were indeed tiny, like fine dust, small stone fragments!
Looking closer, those stone fragments formed four large characters, Five Mountains Venerable!
"Goodness, the man is dead, and the birthmark remained," muttered the barks-at-heaven dog.
Yi Zheng said gravely: "Something's wrong, something's seriously wrong, why are the stones shattered but they're still there? And the dust composing them is slowly dissipating...
And why among the four words, is only the word 'mountain' in an ancient script?"
Jidian also noticed: "The others are modern characters, except for this 'mountain', it's not 'hill above, mountain below', but 'mountain above, hell below'."
Yi Zheng muttered: "Mountain above, hell below... Mountain, stone, prison..."
Yi Zheng slapped his thigh, his face changing abruptly as he said: "Bad, we've been tricked!
The Mount Tai God's whole setup wasn't about killing us from the start!
There's no damn system god versus player struggle!
Nor is there any hidden task from the system to kill us!
The path to ascension he mentioned is nonsense!
He wants to use our hands to smash that stone!
Mountain above, hell below, there's a prison below, there's something down there, his goal is to release that thing!"
Though the thought was crazy, Yi Zheng believed this was the Mount Tai God's ultimate goal!
The barks-at-heaven dog said: "That can't be right? His strength is at the nineteenth level, he could ascend to the twentieth level to become an immortal beast at any time. This stone, although hard, he could've smashed it himself."
Yi Zheng paused: "Yeah, why didn't he smash it himself?"
Jidian said: "What if he can't attack that stone, or can't smash it? So he lures us to attack that stone?"
The barks-at-heaven dog shook his head again: "No, then why did he desperately try to stop us from attacking the stone? He could've let us attack it?"
Yi Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said: "That's his cleverness, acting the whole show.
We're not fools, if we attacked that stone and he was indifferent, would you continue attacking it?"
The barks-at-heaven dog's head shook continuously: "No."
Jidian said: "That's right, you wouldn't, and I wouldn't. So he staged a play, letting us strike with all our might..."
Clap clap clap!
A round of applause sounded.
Then a lump of soil emerged from the earth, forming an old man dressed in black, it was the Mount Tai God!
