Chapter 214 Soul Bone Stripping
The white light bloomed in front of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, dispersing the surrounding darkness. In front of him was a sacred and solemn purple-gold palace. Directly above him was the water-like silver moon and the moonlight all over the ground. The stardust just now flew to the corresponding position on its own, forming a brilliant The stars, like stars holding the moon, highlight the grandeur of the palace.
"The time has finally come." Elune breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with brilliance. This was her temple in the God Realm, and the place where Zhu Zhuqing's Moon God inheritance was tested for the last time.
The two doors that were originally closed opened automatically when she felt the Moon God mark on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead. A purple-gold chain flew out from the hall. Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, it wrapped directly around her waist and pulled her into the Moon Goddess. In the temple.Zhu Zhuqing was standing on an altar at this time, surrounded by several small circular altars. The door closed in response.
"Nine? How could it be nine?" Tang San looked at the nine small altars around him with some confusion. He knew that the number of altars would correspond to the number of soul bones and artifacts on the inheritor's body.Even if Zhu Zhuqing has a total of six soul bones plus two divine swords, they only correspond to eight altars. What does the extra one correspond to?
"It's the Nine Stars Gong Yue!" Elune could no longer remain calm, her voice was full of excitement. "I didn't expect it to be the Nine Stars Gong Yue!"
"Senior Moon God, what is Nine Stars Gong Yue?" Dai Mubai was really nervous. Any change in Elune's mood made him very worried about Zhu Zhuqing's current situation.
"You don't need to be nervous. This is a good thing for Zhuqing, a huge good thing. You should understand that nine is the number of poles, and the stars over the moon are what you humans call a celestial phenomenon, but for me or Senior Spero Generally speaking, Nine Stars Gong Yue is the highest honor of the Moon God lineage. Although Senior Spero possesses the power of space, he was also awarded the power of stars by the God Realm in the later period. At the beginning, he once appeared in Seven Stars Gong Yue. Phenomenon." Elune paused, looking at the surprised expressions of several people, he knew what they were thinking.
"Of course it's not because Senior Spero's talent is not as good as Zhuqing's, but because he was focused entirely on cultivating the power of space and didn't do much research on the power of the stars. He even directly handed it over to the 28 Star Envoys for management. And that spectacle of seven stars arching over the moon was also measured when Senior Spero received the power of the stars for the first time."
Tang San and the others would naturally not doubt Spero's talent. According to Elune, if Spero had delved into the power of the stars a little, Elune would not have had the alias of the God of Speed. He is called the God of Space and Moon.
"According to the prophecy, if one day a successor with Nine Stars Gongyue appears in our lineage, as long as he passes the assessment, he will be blessed by endless stars, and he can mobilize the power of the stars for his own use anytime, anywhere, and lead the Moon God lineage. Toward greater glory!" Elune's eyes were filled with mist at this moment, and she refused to move away from Zhu Zhuqing's body at all. Her excitement was uncontrollable.
On the altar, Zhu Zhuqing had no idea what a surprise he had brought to Elune.There was a "boom" in her mind, as if some force was directly causing damage to her mental power. At the same time, the altars under her feet and around her were activated, waking up from ten thousand years of silence, and then burst into brilliant purple and gold. color light.
The originally extremely quiet space suddenly boiled. The chain around Zhu Zhuqing's waist vibrated violently. The surrounding Moon God's power surged like a tidal wave, impacting Zhu Zhuqing's body one after another, just like the tide he had experienced on Poseidon Island. Body training is normal.
Zhu Zhuqing stood on the large altar in the center, his face shrouded in mist, and the divine power was vaguely gathering under his feet. Zhu Zhuqing's swaying figure could be vaguely seen in the thousands of purple lights. "The ninth test of the Nine Moon God Tests has begun." A solemn and solemn voice sounded in his ears. Zhu Zhuqing's heart was actually very calm. He was not nervous at all when he had gone through the tests several times before. He had finally reached this point. As long as he could endure his soul... If she peels off her bones and keeps her heart, nothing can stop her from becoming a god.
The nine altars flew up in response, spinning rapidly around Zhu Zhuqing. Eight of them simultaneously shot a beam of divine power towards the center, converging on Zhu Zhuqing's body, which corresponded to the six different parts of the soul bones.
"Coming." Tang San said two words lightly, but the atmosphere in the temple suddenly rose, and everyone couldn't help but become nervous.
Standing on the first altar was an extremely arrogant phantom of a wolf. A wolf howl showed its status as the soul bone of its head. Its eyes showed an extremely gorgeous purple-gold color that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. It was exactly the corresponding The soul bone skill it possesses is like a tidal wave.
A brilliant golden-winged butterfly stayed on the second altar. It first flew tentatively around the altar, and then hid its entire body under its thick wings, looking very nervous.
The third altar corresponds to Zhu Zhuqing's right arm bone, which is the Dark Moon White Tiger soul bone that Freya gave to her and Dai Mubai. It looks similar to the Nether White Tiger, but its body shape and the divine power contained around it are The Netherworld White Tiger was several times bigger. In the center of his forehead was not the word "王", but a crescent moon shape. He was looking up and looking around at the situation.
The fourth beam of light hit her left leg. This soul bone was still the reward from the Wuhun Palace when the academy won the championship in the elite competition. Although this was Zhu Zhuqing's first soul bone, she had also reached this point and saw it. Only then did a silver-white tiger on the altar realize that the source of his soul bone was actually the Wind Demon Tiger.
An extremely gloomy black figure was suspended above the fifth altar, which vaguely looked like a human figure.Zhu Zhuqing's heart moved slightly. This was what Ghost Douluo had given to him after he was killed by his third brother. Like the left leg bone, Zhu Zhuqing did not know until now that the soul beast that produced this soul bone was a shadow beast.
The sixth beam of light shines directly on Zhu Zhuqing's chest, corresponding to her torso soul bone, which is also the soul bone of the Jiao-tailed Netherworld Ape from the God Realm.The silver-white ape has a cute and innocent figure, jumping up and down on the altar, dragging a long dark green dragon tail behind it, which is heart-stopping.
The seventh and eighth beams of light first scanned Zhu Zhuqing's whole body, and finally fixed on her hands.When the Dark Moon Taiyin Sword appeared, Zhu Zhuqing didn't feel anything, but when the Nether Devouring Sword appeared on her right hand, she suddenly felt a heartbreaking pain. She looked down and saw that the palm of her right hand was heavily hit by the Nether Devouring Sword. Stabbing into the ground, the sword tip was drawn out and flew to the eighth altar with dripping blood.
"What's going on? How could the divine weapon attack Zhuqing?" Dai Mubai looked at Tang San, hoping to get some experience and answers from him, a veteran, but since arriving at Yueling Island, what happened has gradually gone beyond The scope of Tang San's understanding, let alone the increased difficulty of the god test, he had no idea what would happen.
Tang San shrugged at Dai Mubai, and couldn't help but sweat for Zhu Zhuqing. He was even more worried about the remaining companions. Except for Xiao Wu who still had the ninth test, there was no news at all about Fatty Xiao Ao and the others. , we still don’t know what will happen in their assessment, which is really worrying.
"I think it's because of the method she used to cross the Star Sea Passage." Elune said lightly, and at the same time a serious voice came from the amethyst stone, "As the inheritor of the Moon God, Zhu Zhuqing not only failed to protect It is really unforgivable to harm an artifact in order to pass through the Star Sea Channel! However, as the difficulty of the test increases, your Moon God affinity will be reduced by 90.00% as a punishment. Currently, the total Moon God affinity It’s [-]% five.”
Zhu Zhuqing did not complain in frustration because her affinity with the Moon God had been lowered. With endless self-blame in her eyes, she looked at the Nether Devouring Sword that was still dripping blood on the altar. The moon-shaped gem on it flashed brightly. He seemed to be responding to Zhu Zhuqing's gaze.Zhu Zhuqing did not regret using the Nether Devouring Sword as an attack target to cross the Star Sea Channel. Even if she already knew the result, she would still choose to do it again.
But this does not mean that she has no apology for the Nether Devouring Sword.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was imprisoned by the chain, suddenly took a step forward and responded to the voice in the void, "I am indeed full of apology and gratitude for the Nether Devouring Sword, but I don't think this is an intention to harm the artifact, whether it is the Nether Devouring Sword, Regardless of the Dark Moon Taiyin Sword, from the moment they accepted me, we were our closest partners, comrades fighting side by side. I believe they also have emotions and can appreciate the inseparable relationship between us. Through During the Star Sea Passage, I do not deny that I caused some damage to the Nether Devouring Sword, but how do you judge that this is not a choice that both of us are willing to make? No matter who you are or what you are, I don’t think you will compare. I understand them better, because they are the artifacts of the Moon God and my weapons, aren't they?"
Zhu Zhuqing's words were sonorous and powerful, and his series of rhetorical questions made Elune stunned. Did she actually understand it this way?
In the God Realm, in the Temple of the God King, the God of Kindness looked up at the God of Evil and asked, "Evil, have you ever thought that one day you would be asked back by humans?" The face of the God of Evil also froze for a moment, But he quickly returned to his normal self, "Kindness, don't talk about me. This is your first time, right?"
The God of Kindness smiled noncommittally, "Yes, this is the first time I've met someone who actually dared to refute the consciousness of the gods during the inheritance of gods. Sure enough, among these people, not only Tang San was a monster, but so were the others. This Is this the common characteristic of Shrek?" "Regardless of their characteristics or flaws, they shocked us again, didn't they? I think this is why we have to increase the difficulty of the assessment. They, and the God Realm There are just so many differences.”
"Zhuqing is so handsome." Xiaowu's eyes were clear and bright, staring at Zhu Zhuqing's figure. Although her body was controlled by chains at this time, it did not affect her upright and unyielding figure at all. On the contrary, she was like this She appears to be more resolute under the circumstances.
There was a smile on Dai Mubai's lips. Sure enough, she was the Zhu Zhuqing who would stick to her heart no matter what.
Everyone had the same thought, and Oscar straightened his upper body, "After I accept the inheritance, I must be like Zhuqing!" "Oh, you big sausage uncle still wants to be in the limelight? Save it, my Vulcan Maybe the same situation as Zhuqing may occur in Jiukao, you? I really can’t imagine what your magic weapon is, you won’t want to poke yourself with that rice spoon, right?”
If Bai Chenxiang hadn't stood in front of him, Oscar would have settled the score with Ma Hongjun no matter what. "Okay, okay, you two, stay safe." Ning Rongrong smiled and took Oscar's arm, indicating that he was still in Ailu. Don't be too presumptuous in front of grace.Oscar gestured with his fist, then put on an obedient face and looked at Ning Rongrong, making everyone burst into laughter.
Ziyue looked at this group of people in surprise, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.Zhu Zhuqing's behavior was already beyond his comprehension, and these guys in front of him looked even more abnormal.Don't they think there is anything wrong with Zhu Zhuqing's actions?No matter what, he still seems to be proud of it.
Elune had already taken it lightly. She already had some understanding of these people.As they say themselves, they are not humans, they are monsters.
Zhu Zhuqing's rhetorical question made the voice choke. Anyway, Zhu Zhuqing never heard his voice again.The ninth test was still going on, and Zhu Zhuqing had been prepared to face the pain early in the morning. After all, Tang San had already told them all about the situation of the Ninth Test of Poseidon. They had also heard about soul bone peeling, which required pieces of land. Peel off the soul bones, and each piece of soul bone corresponds to an emotion.Why is there no response when I get here?And what does the ninth altar correspond to?
The temple fell silent, and Zhu Zhuqing also stood quietly, staring in front of him.After waiting for a long time, the ninth small altar finally moved. A huge roar came from the temple, and the sides of the ninth altar also changed. The original plain stones gradually fell away, revealing the original structure inside. It was blue, with mysterious lines carved on it. Zhu Zhuqing could detect the huge divine power contained in it just by looking at it.
Just when she was about to take a closer look, the altar instantly rose upwards, circled in the air several times, and finally landed behind her, sending out the most dazzling light straight towards Zhu Zhuqing's back.She could feel a gentle but violent energy flowing continuously into her body along her spine. The martial spirit was about to move. At first, Zhu Zhuqing could restrain it, but later, under the stimulation of divine power, the spirit of the Civet Fairy emerged on its own, and Zhu Zhuqing Three pairs of pink crystal clear wings stretched out from its back.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't see it, but Elune and Tang San could see clearly. The ninth altar seemed to have received some kind of induction and summons. The bones emitted a purple-gold light.
Six crisp voices sounded, and the six altars corresponding to the soul bones rotated with brilliant divine light, like six grotesque stages, decorating the original silver-white and elegant Moon God Temple in extremely colorful colors. At the same time, it fell on Zhu Zhuqing's head. On the chest, arms and legs.
"Damn, this is a rhythm that will hurt you to death!" Ma Hongjun couldn't bear it anymore. Even a fool could see the current situation. It was clear that he had to peel off six soul bones at the same time.Dai Mubai's eyes had already turned red, and his hands tightly grasped both sides of the amethyst stone, with such strength that he was about to crush it.
Peeling off one soul bone is an unbearable and severe pain. If six pieces are peeled off at the same time, is that kind of pain human beings can bear?
Tang San took a deep breath and spoke in a fairly normal voice, but his anger at this time could no longer be suppressed. "Senior Moon God, I would like to ask you whether the God Realm sincerely wants to pass on the divine throne to us. At the same time, peeling off six soul bones is clearly killing us!"
Elune heard clearly that Tang San used us, not them, which means that they have always been one. Elune was very emotional. She couldn't accept such an assessment, but there was no way. It was already the ninth exam, and she couldn't intervene, otherwise everything Zhu Zhuqing had done to become the Moon God would be nullified.
The peeling off of soul bones has begun, and six soul bones are peeled off at the same time!
Looking at the six small altars in front of him, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale at first but then quickly adjusted and became calm and composed, even better than Ziyue's face who cared the least about her.She didn't know how painful it would be to peel off one soul bone, but peeling off six soul bones at the same time would definitely be much better than enduring it all at once.
"Come on." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes tightened, and her arms and legs were slightly bent inward. This was to protect her limbs from being injured by violent tearing.
In an instant, a heartbreaking pain hit him from where his soul bone was. Zhu Zhuqing gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.The sound of soul bones being peeled off sounded, and it was particularly breathtaking in the quiet hall. It was the sound of bones breaking.Zhu Zhuqing's whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. His vision went dark, and he felt that he had lost control of his body. All his limbs and bones went limp in an instant, and he was not at all under his control.His body curled up into a ball, his limbs were broken alive, his head went from numbness to severe pain, and his scalp was about to be torn off along with his skull.A huge hole appeared in his chest, dripping with blood and flesh, and his internal organs were torn apart, making him look like a bloody man.
Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang screamed and quickly covered their eyes, not daring to look any further.Even Oscar and Ma Hongjun couldn't help but look away.Tang San clenched his fists tightly, with countless emotions stuck in his heart. He believed that Zhuqing would be able to survive, but he was also full of hatred for the God Realm.
As for Dai Mubai, his eyes were red, his whole body was trembling, and the muscles on his face were tense from clenching his teeth. At this moment, he felt the same pain. He was no less aware of the heartbreaking pain than Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing was about to collapse. She wanted to scream in pain, but now the pain was affecting her nerves all the time, and now she felt the feeling of not being able to even scream.It would be a relief to just pass out like this, but Zhu Zhuqing couldn't even do this. The pain that penetrated into the bone marrow kept screaming, and her mind and spirit remained highly excited.
Gradually, Zhu Zhuqing, who was suffering inhuman pain, knelt down on the altar and could no longer react at all. His whole body shrank together, his hands were put aside limply, and he no longer even trembled.Finally, Zhu Zhuqing fainted from the pain. Perhaps this was a good way for her to prepare for the separation of her soul bones.
However, the peeling off of soul bones continued, and the sound of broken bones on the body was still heard, and Zhu Zhuqing was awakened by the pain again.Her current appearance was extremely terrifying. The blood holes on her chest could vaguely see her internal organs and bones. The joints of her limbs were completely broken. Her whole body was soaked with blood and sweat. Her consciousness was no longer clear, and even her eyes were blurred.
It doesn’t hurt so much anymore. Are you going to succeed?
Zhu Zhuqing's vision became increasingly blurry and her mind became heavier and heavier. At the last moment before losing consciousness, she could only remember a purple-gold halo surrounding herself.
She passed out completely and fell to the ground. The bloody hole in her chest was still facing the altar of soul bones in her torso.
Finally, the six soul bones separated from Zhu Zhuqing's body in no particular order and flew towards their corresponding altars. At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing's body was suddenly pulled up by the chains. Her body had no strength, and the huge recoil force caused her to He fell backwards and lay down in the center of the altar. His chest did not rise and fall at all. Oh, by the way, there was no rise and fall at this time. There was only a hole where you could see the heart was still beating.
"Zhu Qing!" Dai Mubai finally couldn't help shouting. He thought he could hold back and wait for Zhu Zhuqing to come back, but he couldn't do it. No matter how strong a person is, he can't help but see the person he loves the most hurt. There will be a breakdown, let alone Dai Mubai.
Tang San held Xiao Wu's hand and gave her strength. He looked at Elune angrily, his tone extremely angry. "Six soul bones are peeled off at the same time. Not even a god can bear it! Senior, do you dare to say that you can bear it? If the God Realm continues to increase the difficulty of the test without any scruples, the God Realm will not do it under any circumstances. If there is new blood injected into it, it won’t be a miracle like this!”
Elune might not think so, if she wasn't on Yueling Island now instead of in the God Realm.She was bound to make a fuss and curse, so why was she thinking about something imageless?What else is there to say about inheritance? This is clearly behind the deities of all lineages!
Zhu Zhuqing remained motionless and showed no reaction. The soul bones had been successfully peeled off, and the six corresponding altars also remained stable. They were constantly emitting divine light to wash away the soul bones, as if they were about to change their minds.The large altar under Zhu Zhuqing also inadvertently exudes divine power to ensure the life safety of the inheritor.
This injection of divine power actually revived Zhu Zhuqing. She was so angry that she moved with difficulty. Her body seemed to be much lighter. Is it because her soul bones had been stripped away?Zhu Zhuqing didn't have the ability to think anymore, he just wanted to be immersed in this divine power.
After about an hour, Zhu Zhuqing's body recovered a little under the restoration of divine power. Although he was not completely back to normal, he finally had some strength. At least Zhu Zhuqing could stand up tremblingly instead of just paralyzing. fall.
As soon as he stood up, his vision was a little blurry and he had not yet regained his clarity, but his hearing was extremely sensitive, and there was an extremely gentle voice in his ear, "Zhuqing, come here, this is my cousin's aunt's youngest son, his name is Dai Mubai. Why?" So do you like him?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed. Her eyes suddenly opened. The scene in front of her suddenly changed. She was back in the palace of the Star Luo Empire. In front of her was a gentle and beautiful aunt. Standing next to her was a man who looked like a golden jade. An expensive little boy with dazzling blond hair and delicate facial features. His eyes looked back and forth at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Mother, who is this?" The little boy's voice was soft, and he swayed Zhu Yunlan's skirt. He was obviously a little scared but still pretended to be calm. He stretched out his little finger and pointed at the little girl opposite. "Who are you? I am the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. You must bow when you see me."
The girl was very young, but she was wearing a dark purple skirt. She looked a bit awkward. She was very delicate. She gave Dai Mubai a very standard salute, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Hello, Third Highness, my name is Zhu Zhuqing."
