Witch Wind

Chapter 274: The Three Black Suns (Part )

The metal wall perfectly matched the impression Xing Tianli had gotten from entertainment novels in his previous life about a doomsday survival base - a metal wall nearly a hundred feet high, densely covered with towers and bunkers, and closed turrets covered with heavy armor, densely arranged above the wall or in the middle of the wall.

On the towering city walls, groups of soldiers wearing fully enclosed armor and holding flickering guns walked back and forth.

Occasionally, there would be one or two powerful elite members of the committee, guys who had undergone genetic leaps and mastered extraordinary supernatural powers. They would be surrounded by lightning, flames, or strong winds and ice, whistling through the air and quickly patrolling along the city walls.

Just when Xing Tianli arrived at the city of Azt.

A low whisper came from the sky.

In the east, on the horizon, a huge black and red sun rose slowly, and the sound of chanting scriptures resounded through the sky, as if the whole world had turned into a huge resonance box, constantly emitting a "buzzing" sound.

High in the sky, three black moon wheels completely defied the laws of the movement of the sun, moon and stars.

The sun is rising.

The moon did not move at all.

Not only did the moon remain motionless, but black tentacles even snaked out from the three full moons and extended outward for a long distance. With audible tearing sounds, the tentacles broke off and turned into black streams of light that slammed towards the rising sun.

Inside the dark red sun, a curled-up black shadow let out a low and fierce cry.

The stream of light transformed from the broken black tentacles slammed into the sun at an incredibly terrifying speed, which, according to Xing Tianli's judgment, was at least a thousand times the standard speed of light that Xing Tianli knew in his previous life.

Black streams of light roared, and the sun struggled a little bit, gradually revealing its entire body from below the horizon. In the middle of the sun, the curled-up black shadow suddenly howled at the top of its lungs, and a black pagoda with 108 floors, each floor shaped like a strange triangle, suddenly exploded.

There are one hundred and eight floors, with three portals on each floor. From each of the three hundred and twenty-four tower doors, a pitch-black, dull dagger flew out and chopped fiercely at the flying light.

The flying sword shattered the flowing light, exploding into pieces of light that floated down from the sky.

Then, countless wandering zombies on the ground raised their heads and took a deep breath towards the sky. Bits of light sank into the bodies of these zombies, and Xing Tianli could clearly feel that the bodies of these zombies had become stronger.

The three black moons continuously emitted streams of light to attack the big sun.

The sun slowly rose into the sky, and after about a quarter of an hour, it was hanging steadily in the center of the sky. The 108-story pagoda was hanging high in the sky, and 324 black swords were slashing in the air, shattering all the streams of light from the three black moons.

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

The three black moons disappeared so abruptly.

Xing Tianli's eyes almost popped out of their sockets - even though he had already known from the three women of Liu Yan and the three elders of Wu Tan how weird the sun and moon were in this world, he was still a little horrified when he suddenly saw the wanton behavior of the sun and moon with his own eyes.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the sun to hang in the middle of the sky. This efficiency is really high.

These three black moons were originally so fierce that even the female officer guarding the base scolded Xing Tianli and told him not to look directly at the three black moons. It was obvious that these three black moons were the biggest source of crisis in this world...

But the three black moons will take the initiative to join forces to deal with this black sun!
When the black sun rushed to the center of the sky with arrogance, the three black moons found that they could not deal with this big guy. Just like that, without any transition, they disappeared?
Where did you go?

Even with Xing Tianli's cultivation at the Golden Immortal level, he couldn't figure out how the three black moons disappeared!
"Master Dao, this is a ghost!" Xing Tianli muttered to himself, shaking his head.

Above the city of Azt, a sharp horn sounded, and the elite members of the committee, with the wind blowing around them, quickly flew along the city wall: "Shift change, shift change... Hurry up, there are fresh vegetables to replenish today, half a pound of fresh vegetables per person, hurry up!"

On the city wall, the patrolling soldiers cheered and quickly handed over their posts to their colleagues who were marching in formation. They lined up in neat rows and jumped down the city wall one after another.

This metal city, which covers an area of ​​a hundred miles, is located in the bottom-level slum area in the northwest corner.

The entire survival base and ground buildings are all slums.

There are black, metal armor-covered, square, uniformly shaped metal buildings, metal sky bridges that stretch between the buildings in a haphazard manner, and metal turrets of all sizes standing everywhere.

On top of each building stood a giant turret, with the muzzles emitting a metallic glow, pointing freely in all directions. There were also heavy-armored soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding powered chain saws, with the teeth of the saws flashing with a faint glow. They stood on the edge of the building and looked down, with the unique vigilance of prison guards in their eyes.

As the sun rose high in the sky and the three black moons hid themselves, all the metal doors connecting the buildings to the overpasses rose up in unison with a creaking sound, and large groups of men and women in simple clothes, carrying all kinds of tattered belongings, staggered out of the buildings.

Some people stood on the street or on the metal overpass, with their eyes closed or with thick black cloth covering their eyelids, looking up at the sky, enjoying the sunlight which was not much brighter than the three black suns at night.

Some people carried buckets of wet clothes that gave off a faint strange smell, walked slowly to an open area, pulled long and short ropes and metal poles, and hung the clothes one by one.

The dark red sun in the sky was not scorching, and when the sunlight shone on people, the perceived temperature was not very high. Inexplicably, wisps of water vapor rose visibly from the clothes, and after a short while, the clothes were dried out one by one.

Those who are hanging out clothes to dry need to be quick and take the clothes away quickly.

For those who were a little slower, the dark-colored clothes were fine, but after the light-colored clothes were completely dry, the edges of the clothes could be seen burnt and smoking, and there were actually flames.

The rules of heaven and earth in this world are so strange?
On both sides of the metal bridge, which was about ten feet wide, a large number of vendors set up stalls. Broken bottles and jars were lined up in a row, mostly clay pots. All the clay pots were missing parts, or had holes here and there.

Occasionally, someone's hand would shake, and some yellowish water with a strange smell, or pungent wine, or even shriveled grains of strange colors, or some small pieces of meat with curly hair that looked like they were of unknown origin, would spill out of those containers.

There were children running around in the crowd, playing around seemingly aimlessly and whispering to each other.

In the crowd, the whispered words of these children would from time to time create ripples of varying sizes. All kinds of gossip and secret messages were transmitted in this primitive way, very subtly, to where they should go.

"Boom, boom, boom!"
Near the city gate in the northwest corner, a group of guys wearing tattered fully enclosed armor, clearly obsolete, struck a drum. A sturdy man about nine feet tall, with a very obvious mutation on his body, two lumps of flesh on his back, each with a pale white arm, and strands of black air wrapped around his palms, stood next to the drum and yelled at the top of his voice.

"One hundred and twenty miles outside the city, in the Black Frog Swamp, a field of arrow poison fruit is about to mature."

"I need three hundred cannon fodder to explore the way."

"You will be provided with a full meal and one hour, so you can have a good time with your daughter... If you can return safely, you can join my 'Four-Armed Heavenly Demon King Corps' and become a servant soldier at the lowest level. You will be given a fixed daughter to live with."

"Only 300 are needed. Those who are nimble and fast will be given priority!"

"By the way, I need twenty bombers. The city will provide you with a full meal, and you will have one hour to torment your mother. With the multiplying elixir I got from the lower city, you will have a 70% chance of giving birth to a child within this hour... From now on, the Four-Armed Heavenly Demon King Corps will be responsible for raising your child."

"Twenty bombers, each with three pure positive nitrogen ion bombs in their stomachs, guaranteed to be a hearty death without any pain. Only twenty are needed, the quantity is limited!"

Xing Tianli stood on a small mound outside the city, with the Purifying White Lotus leading his figure. He was frantically purifying a group of zombies outside the city, totaling about five million. Because of the huge sun hanging high in the sky, the zombies suddenly became lazy, and most of them even curled up on the ground, too lazy to move.

With his physical fitness and current strength, he can hear clearly every movement inside the city wall.

Hearing the conditions the big man offered for his life, Xing Tianli was shocked.

Three hundred cannon fodders, is this stated explicitly?
Twenty bombers... As the name suggests, they all know that their mission is to die. Who would be willing to do such a job?
Xing Tianli was just wondering when, near the city gate, there were several square metal buildings. From the armored doors on the ground floor which were ten meters wide and thirty meters thick, a large crowd of people rushed out.

They tore at each other, cursed at each other, and even punched and kicked each other. Some people were knocked to the ground and vomited blood. Finally, the first 300 lucky ones got the good job of being pathfinders, while the remaining one hundred or so men with disabilities gritted their teeth, and in just three breaths, the twenty spots for bombers who were doomed to die were snatched away.

Xing Tianli was silent. Human life was really worthless.

Looking at the piles of zombies being purified, Xing Tianli pondered for a while and decided that he didn't need this little time. What about the five million weakest zombies at the level of Heavenly Immortals? It would be better to wait until they were all purified and incorporated into the Tongtian Yuling Banner before going into the city to look for someone.

He sat cross-legged on the ground with great determination. The Purifying White Lotus led his figure away and just hung above his head. Wisps of white light enveloped his entire body, and waves of the tremendous power that purified everything washed over his body and soul.

The three hundred and sixty vital points in his body, small bronze tripods were vibrating slightly. Xing Tianli used these small tripods to set up a perfect "mountain and sea" witch formation in his body. Then, all kinds of strange visions of the heaven, earth, universe, mountains, rivers and hills flashed around him, quietly guarding himself.

He raised his head and looked towards the big dark red sun.

The three black moons at night are an extremely terrifying taboo and an existence that cannot be mentioned. In this world, anyone who dares to look directly at the three black moons will be turned into unspeakable horror.

But as for this dark day, it shouldn’t be a big deal unless you are particularly unlucky.

Xing Tianli carefully protected his whole body and mobilized a ray of merit from heaven and earth to integrate into his immortal soul. Then he looked intently at the dark red sun in the sky - he saw clearly at a glance what kind of existence the black shadow curled up in the sun was.

Words are really scarce.

That fellow was half human, half crow, with a standard crow face, wearing an imperial crown on his head, and an imperial robe of the sun, moon and stars on his body. He held a book in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand. His whole body was surrounded by mist and smoke, and there were more than a dozen shining rare treasures floating in the air.

He curled up quietly in the sun, with divine light shining all around him. It rolled up thousands of miles high, and wisps of divine light washed the surface of the sun. Then, on the black and red outer periphery of the sun, large patches of divine light and precious flames surged and rolled, turning into countless golden crow feather-like divine patterns that were thousands of miles long and wide, rolling endlessly.

This thing breathes in and out slowly, at a very slow frequency and with a very long breath.

As he breathed, black runes that looked like pearls and colored glass emerged from his nostrils and condensed beside him into a piece of "The Great Freedom Sutra of All Things in the Frosty Sky, Spoken by the Dharma King Tongtian"!
Xing Tianli's face twitched.

'The Dharma King of Tongtian'?
You are talking about the Lingbao Saint, right?

'Frosty sky of all things'?
'All creatures compete for freedom under the frosty sky', this statement also makes sense.

'Great Freedom Sutra'?
Xing Tianli subconsciously fixed his gaze on the black runes that were glowing dimly. A vast aura of Taoism surged towards him, and he felt the blood and energy in his body suddenly stagnate, and then suddenly exploded.

The next moment, all the pores on his body began to itch, and tiny pieces of black crow hair began to grow out of the pores.

As soon as these extremely tiny crow feathers appeared, they began to frantically extract the vast essence and blood from Xing Tianli's body as nutrients. Each crow feather was not real, but a tiny rune condensed from Xing Tianli's essence and blood and vital energy.

When these tiny runes are pieced together, each crow feather actually becomes a powerful magical power.

Killing, cursing, escaping, hiding, deducing, healing...

Even moving stars and changing constellations, calling the wind and rain, turning stones into gold, and turning the ground into steel...

Even the lotus flower shines brightly, the stone nods, the air is shattered with one finger, and something is created out of thin air...

Eighty-four thousand terrifying magical powers will be based on these glowing intangible crow feathers and forcibly hatched with Xingtian Carp as the mother body!

Xing Tianli also suddenly realized that the reason why the "mortals" in this world dared to bathe in the light of this black sun, and even dared to raise their heads and face the black sun... was because they did not even have the qualifications to become the "mother body" of this black sun's "borrowed body" and "created out of thin air".

Even a wisp of crow feathers is enough to suck them into ashes.

Because they were too weak, they survived!

Xing Tianli shouted softly, and the Pure World White Lotus emitted an increasingly bright and translucent white light, which washed over the black crow feathers all over the body again and again. Then, pieces of crow feathers continued to disintegrate and shatter, and the strange Dao rhyme was swallowed by the small tripods that were spread over the 360 ​​vital points of the body, polishing and tempering it bit by bit, returning to its original state.

Xing Tianli's physical strength began to soar, the concentration of Pangu's blood essence began to condense, and his magic power and even his Taoism realm began to advance by leaps and bounds with inexplicable efficiency.

A ray of enlightenment emerged in my mind.

The fundamental method of "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth" is surprisingly the nemesis of the crow-faced monster in the sun. Xing Tianli can completely regard it as an unparalleled elixir and become the nourishment for his own growth.

This terrifying existence that troubles the entire world, if we can completely refine it...

As Xing Tianli was thinking, the black sun suddenly disappeared. It seemed that it realized that its origin was being stolen, and it hurriedly fled to its nest.

With a swish, at noon, three black suns appeared, hanging high in the sky, emitting a cold and chilling light that enveloped the entire world. In front of them, in the city of Azt, earth-shaking horns rose to the sky, and countless poor people in the lower class hurriedly packed up their belongings and fled back to the metal buildings in a panic.

All around, the zombies that had just curled up on the ground to rest suddenly became excited. They opened their eyes abruptly and sucked in the breath of the large number of living people remaining in the air.

Gradually, from hundreds or thousands of miles away, a huge group of zombies slowly moved towards this side.

Inside the city, hundreds of elite members of the committee, wearing fully enclosed armor and with all kinds of strange visions of earth, water, fire and wind appearing around them, climbed up to the top of the wall in a hurry, looked up at the sky in frustration, then quickly lowered their heads as if they had seen a ghost, cursing hysterically.

They used all kinds of vicious words to greet the three black suns in the sky, especially the three unspeakable beings among the three black suns.

This time the sunrise was too short, so short that it went against common sense and did not give them any chance to prepare.

'Boom'!
In the dark sun, a long and resonant sound of a Dharma drum sounded, and a voice of "Buddha has mercy on me" floated and enveloped the entire world. In the city of Azt, a group of poor people were tumbling and crawling into a metal building. Among them, a few of the weakest unfortunates suddenly groaned and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Their hair fell out, and the texture and structure of their clothing began to change wildly.

Wisps of black air emerged from their heads, and soon everyone had nine thumb-sized scars on their heads, emitting a faint, dirty, crazy, and rapidly flickering light.

Originally they were no more than five feet tall, shriveled and skinny, and their simple, tattered clothes had been transformed by an incredible force into a material that was almost the finest silk, and had suddenly become black monk robes.

On the pitch-black monk's robe, twisted, hideous, and pale white words emitting an endless aura of madness just outlined a suffocating and evil-filled "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Performs the White Bone Heavenly King Sutra"!
A few unlucky guys stood up, their shriveled and skinny bodies had swelled to about eight feet tall, with extremely strong muscles all over their bodies. They put their hands together, with a blurry black light flashing in their eyes, and muttered in a grim voice: "Ksitigarbha has mercy on us and opened the White Bone Path. If you are predestined, you should enter the path!"

The white Buddha light shone on the monk's robes, and the flesh and blood of the hundreds of poor people around them disappeared, turning into white skeletons. Their skeletons were as smooth as jade, and faintly emitted the crisp sound of jade chimes. They laughed and made lotus seals with their hands, and bowed to the burly monks: "Greetings, Master!"

On top of several nearby metal buildings, huge automatic turrets were spinning violently.

'Boom boom boom'!
Dozens of thigh-thick shells with powerful exorcism runes engraved on their surfaces whizzed down, covering these monks, hundreds of Skeleton Kings, and about two or three thousand poor people nearby who had not had time to escape into the building.

Flames shot up into the sky. These monks and the bones screamed and roared wildly in the terrible fire shock wave. There was a faint Buddha's light around them. They held on for a long time before being completely torn into pieces.
