The Supreme Taichu Heaven, outside the south gate of the Heavenly Palace.
This is a brilliant starry sky.
A full 120 million stars were artificially arranged in the starry sky, forming a star array that emits a dazzling light… Many stars were moving in the void along the celestial track, their starlight entangled and circling in the invisible force field, and countless colorful star rays condensed together, turning into a huge, shining Vermillion Bird.
Right at the most important part of this huge Suzaku star array, that is, the heart of Suzaku, there is a big star.
This big star was a million times larger than the sun in Lu Yi's memory of his previous life. There were hundreds of small planets of different sizes circling around the huge star. On these small planets, there were garrisons arranged by the Heavenly Court, with garrison generals of the Heavenly Lord level, commanding at least a million heavenly soldiers.
On weekdays, starships travel back and forth, and the lights of powerful masters crisscross the starry sky, creating a prosperous and lively scene.
But today, the entire star field is silent and quiet. Many local officials sent by the Heavenly Court to this place are all huddled in their own yamen, using various secret methods and treasures to secretly spy on the movements here.
Countless alien races that looked like upright, human-shaped giant insects huddled in the void, quietly, like huge eggs densely packed together. A piece of land dragged here from afar floated in the air, only a few hundred thousand miles away from the rolling and shaking surface of the star.
Violent solar prominences shot up from time to time, like mad fire dragons, whistling past the landmass covered with restrictions. The terrifying heat wave raised the temperature on the landmass to a level that was enough to melt gold and iron. The heat wave rose, the red light filled the sky, and the small landmass looked like a lava hell.
Straight green tree trunks grow out from this extremely harsh land environment. In the very fine veins of these green tree trunks, red hot juice flows madly.
These green trees have undergone the most rapid evolutionary mutations in the shortest time on this landmass. They have adapted to the high temperature and water shortage environment here. They directly draw high temperature and heat from the void to grow and reproduce, and their growth rate is astonishingly fast.
Correspondingly, these green trees also took on terribly high temperatures. The seemingly green trunks were actually as hot as a red-hot iron, burning the skin of the men, women, and children who were tightly trapped on the trunks, making their skin sizzle.
These strange green trees have countless fine vines attached to their barks. Each vine is as thin as a hair and extremely tough, and its quality is comparable to that of a great celestial monarch-level confinement treasure. The vines are densely covered with barbs, and there are confinement patterns that are almost invisible to the naked eye and are constantly flowing.
Yinyuan, Bai Yuan, Linghu Jun, several noble ladies of the Linghu family, and the members of the Linghu lineage and family to which Linghu Jun and other noble ladies belonged, regardless of gender, age or status, even their retainers, servants, maids, even the relatives of those servants, and any insignificant people who had any connection with them, were all imprisoned here.
This is what is commonly known as "melon vine copying". Anyone involved, even the "neighbors next door", will not be able to escape.
Hundreds of millions of green tree trunks were neatly planted on the landmass, and countless people were tied to waist-thick tree trunks by dense vines. The high temperature of the tree trunks made their skin and flesh sizzle, and burned the fat in many people's bodies into yellow oily water, which kept sliding down the tree trunks and then burning, emitting a pungent burnt smell and a disgusting barbecue smell.
Many of these people are ordinary mortals who have never practiced cultivation.
Under the high temperature burning of these tree trunks, they should have turned into ashes long ago...but those dense vines not only imprisoned them, but also continuously injected all kinds of strange ingredients into their bodies through their fine barbs.
The majestic vitality sustains their lives. Their flesh and skin are constantly being burned and turned to ashes, but they keep growing again.
Even mortals live well on these green trees.
But the suffering they endured...the legendary torture in hell was probably like this.
Under the burning of high temperatures, the torment of tree trunks, the tremendous vitality that the vines constantly inject into their bodies, and the urging of strange special ingredients, the internal organs, bone marrow, tendons and other body structures of these people who are crying and wailing hysterically are undergoing strange changes.
From being a human, to being no longer human.
Because of the different strange ingredients injected into their bodies, the changes visible to the naked eye on these people's bodies were also very different. Some people grew red scales on their bodies, some grew burning horns on their foreheads, some grew flaming tails like dragons behind their buttocks, and some people spewed several feet long flames from their eyes.
This is just the change of the external body, which is so strange and amazing. And the changes in these people's bodies are even more incredible, even terrifying. Many of them have become less human. It can even be said that they have completely transformed into some other "humanoid creatures", but they are no longer "human" in the conventional sense!
Three hearts, four lungs, ribs connected as one, little brothers that can be divided into three pieces and covered with inverted teeth inside, and so on... With all kinds of abnormalities, you really can't regard them as a 'person' anymore.
Of course, the aura of these original mortals has also become much stronger.
Originally, they were the most ordinary mortals in the Supreme Primordial Heaven, without a single trace of cultivation… But here, after being manipulated by such vicious and magical means, their aura had rapidly surpassed the category of heavenly soldiers and heavenly scholars in a very short period of time, and were almost stepping into the level of heavenly schools or even heavenly generals.
Because of this, the voices of these people who were undergoing changes, such as shouting, wailing, and hysterical and vicious cursing, became louder and louder... Hundreds of millions of people were crying and shouting, and the sound was like a million thunderbolts exploding from the blue sky at the same time, causing severe pain in the eardrums and making it seem as if their internal organs about to burst.
Yinyuan, Bai Yuan, Linghu Jun, and the core figures of the Linghu clan, including the stewards of the clans and even several former elders from their clans, were all imprisoned on the trunk of the green tree just like those unfortunate people who were innocently implicated and screamed.
Regardless of their level of cultivation or status, everyone was stripped naked and imprisoned on a hot tree trunk, unable to move.
The temperature of the tree trunks was like hell to ordinary people, but to Yinyuan, Bai Yuan, and even the senior officials of the Linghu clan, it was just as hot as bath water. They held their breath and allowed the high temperature to burn them without even a drop of sweat on their faces.
However, although they did not suffer physically, the inner torment made many of the Linghu clan members lose their minds, and they cursed hysterically like crazy. Their curses were louder than those of the unfortunate people who were undergoing abnormal changes, and their curses were more vicious, filthy and vulgar than those of the unfortunate people.
After all, they are the top leaders of the Linghu clan, and they have read many more books than those low-level people. Although because the various great ways of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" are all controlled by the top leaders of the heavenly court, the top leaders of the Linghu clan have extremely limited attainments in "literature", but it is enough to just use it to scold people.
They quoted from classics and covered ancient and modern times. All the most vicious, despicable and uncompromising words that could be used in books were poured out by these almost insane senior officials on Yinyuan, Bai Yuan, Linghu Jun and others.
Yinyuan and Baiyuan are fine.
The ones who received the most scolding were the Linghu Jun sisters - in the eyes of countless Linghu clan members, they were a bunch of troubles that should have been drowned in a water tank when they were born!
A good Linghu family.
The Linghu family, one of the four most prosperous and powerful celestial clans under Taizuo Heaven... The Linghu family, which was second only to the emperor and above everyone else... and the several eldest and most powerful families in the clan were all caught in one fell swoop!
Even the daughters who married out, and the descendants within three generations born from those daughters who married out, were all captured in one fell swoop, no one escaped! Everyone was here, no one could escape the capture of the Green Emperor!
"We, the Linghu family... have always been a virtuous and blessed family that accumulates virtues, does good deeds, builds bridges and paves roads, and has abundant blessings at home..." A former elder of the Linghu family, not knowing whether he was confused by anger or really believed it in his heart, actually shouted out such ridiculous words in Yinyuan's view.
Do good deeds?
hehe!
Just look at how Linghu Jun, in the lower world, was willing to destroy so many celestial realms in order to collect the 'Sky Crystals' that could be used to refine imperial weapons and treasures. It's clear that the Linghu family has nothing to do with 'accumulating virtue and doing good deeds' or 'having abundant blessings in the family'!
Especially, Yinyuan has been the acting head of the Linghu family for several years... Yinyuan has seen a lot of shitty things done by those dandy young masters and unfilial young ladies of the Linghu family!
After what happened today, if Yinyuan wasn't afraid of being spitted to death, he really wanted to yell at the top of his lungs - 'Damn it, this is all retribution!'
The Linghu family is definitely not a kind family.
Because of his involvement, Linghu family suffered misfortune, but Yinyuan did not feel any guilt.
We are all bad people, and we are all unlucky because of our own mistakes. Oh, maybe it’s because you, the Linghu family, have committed so many evil deeds and sins in the past that we have dragged my uncle Yinyuan into misfortune... Is that the truth?
The only one I feel a little sorry for is the white turtle!
Yin Yuan looked at Bai Yuan with deep eyes - oh, unlucky kid, ever since being with Bai Yuan, it seems that the couple has never had a happy and comfortable life?
When he was in Yuanlingtian, he hooked up with Bai Yuan and used her to get close to Jianmen.
During the Liangyi Heaven, the couple was directly exiled to the Demon-Suppressing City. If it weren't for the help of their sworn brother Lu Yi, the couple would have been tortured to death, and it would have been a tragic death.
When he arrived at the Supreme Taichu Heaven, he was shocked. He thought he could live a good life. However, because of his 'male beauty', he brought disaster upon himself. Linghu Jun and several sisters intruded into the young couple's 'peaceful and ordinary' life... It was such a hassle... In the end, he 'compromised', 'endured humiliation', and 'sacrificed himself to Linghu Jun and several sisters', which earned him a short period of relatively peaceful days.
As a result, Bai Yuan and the sisters Linghu Jun finally reached a "tacit understanding", achieved a "balance in the harem", and drew up some "contracts of unspoken rules". However, before these comfortable days had lasted for a few days, White Snake barged in forcefully and suppressed all objections in one fell swoop... and forcefully "occupied" Yin Yuan!
Yinyuan felt so miserable!
Alas, this journey has been filled with blood and tears... There has never been a moment of peace in my life!
Now look what happened, we’ve been caught in one fell swoop!
"You've suffered so much." Yin Yuan gave Bai Yuan a rather embarrassed smile and shook his head, "But, if you die, you die. My brother will avenge us!"
Yinyuan smiled happily.
Lu Yi will avenge him and his wife... He believes that Lu Yi has the ability to do so.
Yin Yuan is not a very talented person. His character, methods, and many internal and external conditions are probably a little better than ordinary mortals, but not much better. His journey is nothing more than... fate is too outrageous, which makes him exude endless masculine charm all the time, which is why he has come to this day smoothly.
Although he has shortcomings in vision, means, character and many other aspects, Yinyuan is not stupid!
This time, the Green Emperor made such a big show to torment his wife and his wife, wasn't it just to deal with Lu Yi? And Lu Yi was able to make such a terrible Green Emperor, who made the three great emperors Taichu, Taiwei and Taiyi helpless, so big and even used such vulgar means to force and threaten him...
It can be seen that there must be something about Lu Yu that the Green Emperor covets, or in other words, something that the Green Emperor fears.
Therefore, Yinyuan believed that Lu Yi had the opportunity to avenge him!
He believed in Lu Yi, just as he had given Lu Yi his unreserved trust when he was in Dayin and Haojing, when he was still an ordinary emperor in the secular world... At that time, they were still in a relationship of monarch and subject, and he could trust Lu Yi unreservedly... Today, they have been sworn brothers for many years and have experienced countless ups and downs!
"What a pity. As his elder brother, I haven't been able to help him much over the years." Yin Yuan smiled at Bai Yuan shyly.
Actually, to be honest, he did help Lu Yi.
When he was in Yuanlingtian, wasn't it because he got in touch with the white turtle that many of Lu Yi's actions became smooth sailing?
Well, Yinyuan did make some contribution.
Although most of these achievements were due to his "damn masculine charm" and "sweeped from the bed", he, Yin Yuan, was not a complete waste!
It's a pity... He, Yinyuan, also wanted to be a man of steel and blood. He also wanted to roll up his sleeves, raise his fists, and scream at the Qing Emperor and his minions - "I am Yinyuan from Haojing, come and tell me your name!"
Tsk, what a pity. Looking at the situation, there is no chance.
All around, the curses of countless Linghu clan members suddenly disappeared, and the atmosphere around became extremely strange. It was a temporary silence like a nightmare, brought about by extreme fear and absolute anger.
The air was thick with the smell of human fat and roasted meat, a horrible, decadent aroma.
From all directions, there was a constant 'squeaky' sound of human fat being fried, and there was also a 'whoosh' sound as the fat kept sliding down the high-temperature tree trunks and burning.
A winding tentacle cut through the void and reached above everyone's heads.
The tentacles parted like petals, and a delicate tentacle like a snake's tongue rolled out, holding up a green, translucent throne that seemed to be made of crystal. The Green Emperor was wearing a set of glittering, complex, and exotic crystal armor. He sat on the throne with a smile, overlooking the people below.
The Qing Emperor was not the reason why countless Linghu clan members suddenly shut up.
A nine-headed snake, a nine-headed snake with a very thin lightning chain running through its body, swam over tremblingly. The thin lightning chain occasionally exploded with dazzling lightning, causing the nine-headed snake, which was more than twenty feet long from head to tail, to be covered with electric sparks and make shrill cries from time to time.
The other end of the chain was held in the hand of an alien who was about ten feet tall and had the aura of an emperor. The alien strode in front and pulled the chain in his hand hard from time to time. Countless lightning flashes exploded on the chain, causing the Hydra to howl in pain again.
This nine-headed snake is not uncommon.
In the Supreme Primordial Heaven, the Hydra is just a relatively rare native creature that is easily transformed into a demon.
What was strange was that the nine heads of this 'petite' Hydra, which was obviously not yet an adult, changed from snake heads to human heads. On the long neck of the Hydra, there were clearly nine human heads with painful and distorted faces, constantly making hysterical roars and crying like crazy like wild beasts!
Men, women, old and young, all there are!
Moreover, the Linghu family’s top leaders present were all quite familiar with these nine heads.
It was clearly the family of Linghu Fang, the former steward of the family who had just retired a few years ago... Linghu Fang was the old man, his head was sticking straight on the snake's neck in the middle. The head on his left hand side was his old wife's, and the head on his right hand side was his eldest son's...
The other heads belonged to his son, daughter, and the youngest grandson of the ninth generation who was just under two years old!
Their heads were removed by the Green Emperor using secret methods and grafted onto the body of this nine-headed snake.
The connection between the snake body and the human heads was smooth and without any trace, as if these nine human heads had originally grown on the body of this nine-headed snake.
Deathly quiet.
Yinyuan, Bai Yuan, Linghu Lun, and many members of the Linghu clan present were all staring at this strange giant in amazement.
The Green Emperor looked at the crowd below, admiring their expressions of fear that came from their bones, and clapped his hands happily: "How is it? This little guy, isn't it, very interesting?"
A hissing sound came from a distance.
Another authentic, ferocious-looking Hydra, with nine huge heads shaking and its big mouth full of fangs spewing venomous sticky fluid, was slowly moving towards this side, being dragged by another alien.
This original Hydra is a male.
The nine-headed snake, which was modified by the Green Emperor and had its original head replaced by the heads of nine members of the Linghu clan, is clearly a female.
What makes people feel even more nightmare-like, hysterical, and yet unable to escape is that the new male Hydra had clearly been fed a secret drug. As long as one is not blind, one can see some strange and creepy changes on its body.
The male Hydra with 'strange steps' was getting closer and closer.
The Green Emperor chuckled and said, "You have definitely never had such a bizarre experience... Think about it, whether you are male or female, your brains have been grafted onto the bodies of some livestock by me using the supreme secret method. You have all the five senses and six consciousnesses of those livestock, and all their physiological reactions will be transferred to your spiritual perception without omission... Everything they experience will also be received by you without omission!"
"A very profound philosophical question..." The Green Emperor looked deeply at the most senior person in the Linghu clan, a former elder. "You were once Linghu Tian, ​​one of the nine elders of the Linghu clan, right? You hold a high position and have lived for so many years. You have seen a lot. I'm sure you can answer my question!"
"That is, for an intelligent creature, is it his body that represents him, or is it his head that represents him?"
"To put it more clearly, for a girl you commonly call a 'virgin', her morality, her ethics, her 'chastity' or 'virginity' in the 'world', 'society', 'social circle', 'moral system' and all other concepts she belongs to, does it come from her body or her head?"
"Or, we can derive countless more complex problems from this!"
"There are nine of them. Among them, there is a father, a mother, a grandfather, a grandmother, a grandson, and a granddaughter... The nine of them share one body. So, are they nine people, or just one person?"
"When something strange and indescribable happened to them...are they still innocent?"
"In other words, your definition of 'innocence' can undoubtedly be applied to the two young women among these nine people... If their bodies are defiled at this moment, then they are not innocent... However, the men were also defiled at the same time as them!"
"Will they still be innocent?"
The Green Emperor smiled extremely brightly and kindly.
He whispered, "Destroy a world? Destroy a race? Just physical destruction? No, no, no, that is such a crude, meaningless and reckless act!"
"I was once a pure reckless man. I thought that to destroy a world or a race, I just needed to destroy them physically and with hardware. That would be enough."
"But now, I suddenly realize that if I completely destroy you from the perspective of spirit, soul, and the most profound ethics, morals, culture, customs, and all these concepts... this is the true annihilation of your race!"
The Green Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Now, I am ready to give it a try! Well, are you ready to answer my question?"
"Oh, by the way, all nine of their bodies are still alive!"
Following the Green Emperor's laughter, nine other alien races, also using thunder chains, dragged nine shaky and staggering 'figures' towards this side.
However, on the necks of these nine people, where human heads should have been, there were actually nine ferocious snake heads that were constantly spitting out their tongues!
The Green Emperor exchanged the heads of this family of nine with the nine-headed snake.
Everyone who witnessed this.
Yinyuan, Bai Yuan, Linghu Lun, and even many members of the Linghu clan, felt a chill running straight up from the bottom of their hearts to their souls... They could no longer describe how they felt at the moment.
It was like they were in their worst nightmare.
They would rather die than go through this... They didn't want to witness what was about to happen... They didn't want to answer the damn question that the Green Emperor had just asked... They couldn't even imagine how they would feel if such a terrible thing happened to them... How... How...
My mind was in a mess, with countless crazy thoughts coming one after another and then exploding continuously.
Many young members of the Linghu clan, who had not rested enough, had been frightened into fainting, and were constantly spitting out white foam... but the thin vines attached to their bodies also injected wisps of unknown transparent mucus into their bodies. Under the stimulation of some strange components in the mucus, they were forcibly awakened, and maintained the clearest intelligence and consciousness, passively watching everything that was about to happen in front of them!
"Kill me!" Some members of the Linghu clan cried out.
"Damn it!" Some members of the Linghu clan yelled and cursed at Yinyuan and Baiyuan.
"I will kill you!" The hot-tempered master of the Linghu family used a secret method to detonate his own soul and damage his own cultivation. He used a desperate method that was almost like "disintegration of the devil" to mobilize his magical powers and wanted to die together with the Green Emperor.
However, their outbursts were of no use.
Their shouting and cursing was like a gentle breeze on Emperor Qing’s face… Their resistance was not even able to break a few of the vines that bound their bodies… Everyone was still firmly bound to the hot tree trunk, and no one could break free.
The Green Emperor laughed in a low voice: "I can't wait any longer. Ha, ha, if that kid doesn't come, it's actually fine... Linghu clan, ha, ha, you are the best protected, most pure blooded original natives of 'Taichu Heaven'!"
"For so many years, you have been sheltered in Taiyu Tianxia. Your several major clans have simply intermarried, and your bloodlines have been well protected... You have the purest and most original bloodline of the Taichu Tiantian people... You are the perfect test subject, the perfect comparison template!"
“Hohoho!”
"The work I failed to complete back then can definitely be accomplished perfectly in you."
"As long as I analyze all the 'genetic elements' in your blood... destroying you? It's easy!"
"Of course, destruction is the most worthless act."
"Your value is beyond your own awareness... Hoho, hoho, hoho!"
