"A frog in a well!"
Qing Huang gave Lu Yi a disdainful smile.
Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - Oh? You actually know the term "frog in the well"? Although it is a demon, it is a cultured and educated demon!
"Have you ever seen the vastness of the world, the breadth of the rivers and lakes?" Lu Yi breathed slowly, and at the same time, intentionally or unintentionally began to tease Qing Huang... The Seven Treasure Wheels that had just injured Qing Huang turned into a ball of colorful precious light, flowing and swirling rapidly around Lu Yi, just like a happy hunting dog running around its master.
There were also several other important Buddha-level artifacts that also exuded a faint sense of oppression, and were either still or moving, floating around Lu Yi.
There were several heavy weapons with murderous spirits rising and roaring. These treasures seemed to recognize the identity of the Green Locust. They seemed to still remember the grudges between their old master and the Green Locust... or in other words, the grudges between them and the "Green Locust Clan". They were spiritually powerful and remembered the past. They did not hide their monstrous killing intent towards the Green Locust at all.
The green locusts indeed hesitated to move forward.
He hunched his back slightly, stretched out his arms, and the ten fingers covered by thick shells flickered with a green light. He drew Dao rhyme and spiritual inspiration from the void, and continuously condensed them into terrible toxic toxins, which he smeared on his nails layer by layer, soaking into his skin, flesh, and blood. Gradually, extending from his ten fingers to his shoulders, his limbs turned into transparent dark green crystals, and the terrible poison filled his whole body, even corroding the surrounding void to the point that it made a "hissing" sound.
The back of Lu Yi's neck felt slightly cold and his scalp was a little numb.
Qing Huang is an 'Emperor' level existence... There is no doubt about it... He draws Dao rhyme and inspiration from the void and uses it for his own benefit. His movements are smooth and coordinated. In the blink of an eye, all the energy he has consumed before is rapidly restored. He is a hundred times stronger than Lu Yi who uses the power of Emperor Money and Divine Pills to restore himself.
Lu Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Emperor Taiyao, isn't that awesome... They are all sons of the emperor, but among Emperor Taiyao's children, only King Chunlan has cultivated to the level of the emperor. King Qiugui was forced to take the evil path, using many shameful means, and only then, with the help of external forces, was he able to condense the Dao Fruit of the Emperor's Seal.
As for this Green Emperor... he just made a tree tumor and spit out an emperor son who doesn't look like a human, and he turned out to be a terrifying existence at the level of a Great Emperor!
The feeling of the tumor on the big tree behind the Green Emperor breaking open and spewing out green locusts reminded Lu Yi of a sloppy otaku who casually picked a pimple from his head and threw it on the ground, and it turned out to be a "Great Emperor"!
"This is simply outrageous!" Lu Yi gritted his teeth, looked at Qing Huang, and asked his question again: "Have you ever seen the vastness of the world? Have you ever seen the breadth of the rivers and seas?"
Qing Huang breathed deeply, and as he breathed, large tracts of flowers, plants, and trees in the forest below withered, and the majestic life essence continued to merge into his body. The wound on his forehead that was split by the Seven Treasures Wheel was healing quickly, and the dark green evil power impacted the seven-colored Buddha flame attached to the wound, making a continuous "chi chi" sound.
The weak seven-colored Buddha flames gradually dimmed and went out, and the wound on Qinghuang's forehead was shrinking little by little.
Hearing Lu Yi's question, Qing Huang raised his head a little arrogantly: "I have seen it!"
He exhaled deeply, and an extremely complex expression full of longing and nostalgia appeared on Qinghuang's face, which was covered with a thin shell.
He was silent for a long time, then slowly shook his head: "Unfortunately, this world is a cage... Unless... otherwise, it will be difficult for us to go back... When we came out, we were aimless... In this world, we found traces of this group of 'orthodox thieves', which is already a blessing from heaven... It is very difficult, very difficult to find the right way back!"
Youyou sighed: "You humans often feel homesick."
Shaking his head, Qing Huang said in a deep voice: "A long time ago, I couldn't understand this emotion...Homesickness? That's an emotion only the weak have...But after so many years, I have understood the truth...Homesickness? Yes, I am homesick!"
"Perhaps, it's not homesickness, but a kind of... a kind of... a strange feeling that my cultural upbringing cannot describe?"
"I have seen the true face of the universe, and I have seen the true beauty of rivers, lakes and seas... So, at this moment, I am trapped in a deep well just like you poor little toads... I am very... sad and angry?"
"anger!"
"Then, there is confusion!"
"Ultimately, it's numbness."
"After endless expectations and countless disappointments, I gradually became... perverted?" Green Locust chuckled, "Hibernation is a good habit. Many years can pass in one sleep... But sometimes, when I wake up, in my dream, I have returned to my familiar hometown, but when I wake up, I am still trapped in this small world!"
"So, I've become a pervert." Qing Huang laughed excitedly, proudly waving his two arms that gradually spewed out poisonous wind, poisonous gas, poisonous fire and poisonous ice, dyeing a large area of ​​the void around him dark green: "I, have become a pervert."
Qing Huang was so excited that he danced with joy and even began to twist his hips and sway his waist: "I began to slaughter your people wantonly and conduct various studies on them at will... For example..."
Green Locust began to describe various horrible tortures. Some of them, in his opinion, were just very interesting studies, but to other creatures, they were the most horrible, cruel, twisted and evil punishments in the world.
For example, the seeds could be parasitized in the flesh and blood of a living person, and the roots of the seeds could grow along the blood vessels little by little, gradually filling the whole body, and eventually turning a living person into a submissive 'tree man'!
For example, embryos that have just received life essence are taken out from the female's abdomen and implanted into various plants. These animal embryos with flesh and blood are forced to grow together with various plants under the external life force. Flowers with human faces, trees with human hands, grass with human legs...all kinds of incredible creatures are born...
Or, forcing the human race to interbreed with other kinds of creatures that are neither human nor inhuman...
Or, forcing all kinds of creatures to interbreed...
Green Locust and his 'brothers and sisters' have turned Green Emperor's territory into a cruel place, dividing all ethnic groups into dozens of levels from top to bottom. The upper ethnic groups can kill or deprive the lower ethnic groups at will, making it like a terrible slave kingdom.
'Slaves' is not even enough to describe the cruelty of the struggle for survival of the various ethnic groups in the Qing Emperor's territory.
They are just consumables, consumables, human-shaped tools, and human-shaped materials... The Green Emperor, Green Locust, and their kind and followers have carried out extremely terrible brainwashing and manipulation on these ethnic groups.
They are filled with extreme hatred towards Heaven, Yuncha Ridge, Guixu, similar powerful forces, and other ethnic groups.
In the territory of the Green Emperor, the only way for individuals from the lower ethnic groups to climb up is to kill!
As long as you kill any ethnic group outside the Qing Emperor's territory, you will get merit points.
As long as you accumulate enough merit points, you can keep climbing up the level from the bottom... and the merit point multiplier between each level is tenfold... and the ethnic level they have planned is nearly a hundred levels!
In other words, any cultivator who belongs to the lower-level creatures in the territory of the Green Emperor wants to be promoted to a higher level with a certain "authority" and a certain "life autonomy" so that he doesn't have to live in such fear. The number of creatures he needs to slaughter is astronomical.
Maybe Qing Huang had just woken up from hibernation for a long time, so he was a bit talkative? So he talked a lot.
Perhaps, there is a strong urge to talk in his nature.
Qing Huang seemed to have forgotten that he was fighting against Lu Yi. He was dancing, gesticulating, and talking with foam flying in the mouth. Sticky body fluids kept spurting out of the wound on his head.
He described to Lu Yi the various "wonders" in the Qing Emperor's territory.
He told Lu Yi about all the "miracles" he had witnessed.
He explained to Lu Yi his and his people's views on life, the world, the universe, and cultivation.
There was a strange rhythm of Tao flowing in Qing Huang's story... Lu Yi felt Qing Huang's Tao and listened to his story, only to feel waves of nausea rising up.
This guy is not a human being.
He was definitely not a human. His appearance told Lu Yi that how could a guy who looked like a combination of a giant longhorn beetle and a giant mantis be a human?
This is an alien race, and it is a distorted race with strong desires such as "plundering", "devouring", and "slaughtering" hidden in its nature. The Green Locust and his people, their moral values, their many perceptions, and those of serious intelligent creatures are very different.
They obey some extreme, strict and harsh "laws from top to bottom".
They have a very strong sense of "obedience". They divide the internal status according to "bloodline" and "rank", and this division is determined by nature. Once determined, the "class" can never be broken unless it is "granted" by the supreme superior.
They also follow certain strict, rigid and unbreakable rules of "division of labor".
For example, the Green Locust is a "fighting tribe", so the meaning of its existence is to tear apart the Green Emperor's enemies.
For example, among the Green Locust tribe, there is a "logistics group" who are responsible for growing spiritual herbs, herding livestock, and providing the tribe with various elixirs, blood food, and so on.
For example, there are "production groups" among them...then their task is to continuously produce new group individuals...
A bright light flashed through Lu Yi’s mind—Isn’t this a swarm of insects?
So, Qingdi, who can "split his body" and give birth to sons, is a "Queen of Insects"?
"Demon!" This thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, but he used common words that could be understood by the cultivation world. He shouted sternly: "You are demons! Big demons!"
Qing Huang took a deep breath. The wound on his head had been repaired, but the power of the Seven Treasures Wheel was still too strong. On his repaired head, a ridge was clearly raised, which was an extremely glaring scar. Occasionally, a faint seven-colored flame flashed in the scar, and his flesh would make a "hissing" sound like oil exploding, causing his face to twitch a few times in pain.
Qing Huang tilted his head and looked at Lu Yi, nodding slowly with a smile on his face: "Demons? Some people call us that... um, especially those thief bald ancestors of yours... hee, they call us, 'World-Destroying Demons'!"
Shaking his body gently, Qing Huang murmured, "You thieves, you baldies... you deserve to die... hey, hey, hey!"
"Past Buddha!"
"The living Buddha!"
"Future Buddha!"
"The horizontal Buddha, the vertical Buddha..."
“The Buddha of the Vajra Realm… The Buddha of the Garbha Realm…”
"Namo... Namo... Namo... Namo..." Green Locust muttered: "In this world, who is the source of your thief Nalanda Ancient Temple? Hehe!"
"Who is the thief bald master of the Nalanda Temple?"
Qing Huang shook his head vigorously. The injuries inside his head obviously had not healed. His head shook and dark green fluid spurted out from his seven orifices.
"Ugh, damn that thief bald, he cut off his own cause and effect, and his own destiny..." Green Locust roared angrily: "We killed him, but failed to completely destroy him... He... disappeared... And we even forgot his name!"
"He wiped out all traces of his existence!"
"It's annoying, it's really annoying!" Qing Huang pointed at his head vigorously, turned around to look at the confrontation between Old Black Bear and Qing Emperor, and lowered his voice suddenly: "This is really annoying, very troublesome... because, he may come back at any time... and, as far as I remember, it's not just him... he has many disciples!"
"They may come back at any time!"
"So, we can only stay in this dry well and hang out with you little toads!"
Qing Huang sighed: "It's really frustrating... I have to stay here and kill all these thieves... or..."
Qing Huang looked Lu Yi up and down, and suddenly burst into laughter: "You can actually get so many Buddha treasures in the Nalanda Ancient Temple to follow you, and you can actually get so many Buddha treasures to protect you... Could it be that you are the reincarnation of a certain ancient Buddha that we surrounded and killed but failed to kill?"
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth twitched.
He could swear that he was not the reincarnation of some ancient Buddha... His origins were very clear, and he remembered them very clearly.
However, some of the things that Qing Huang said today inexplicably gave him a sudden impulse that came from instinct.
Green Locust's words are very important.
Although it was just some scattered complaints, roars, curses, and insults... his words seemed to involve some crucial "truth" of the world.
About the Supreme Primordial Heaven.
About the Yin-Yang Heaven in the lower world.
Regarding the smaller heavens below Liangyi Heaven, such as Yuanling Heaven, Jisheng Heaven, Wanmiao Heaven, etc.
Very important.
But it was obvious that Green Locust, and even the Green Emperor behind him, had lost their patience.
On the side of the Green Emperor, a green hurricane rose from the ground. The Green Emperor disappeared, merged into the hurricane, and attacked the old black bear.
On the ground, two extremely thick dark green translucent crystal-like old tree roots tore through the ground and poked out... On the thick old tree roots, two huge tree tumors flashed a dazzling light.
With a dull explosion, the tree tumor shattered, and two human figures that looked almost exactly like the green locusts shot out, forming a "品" shape that surrounded Lu Yi in the middle.
