Chapter 353 - 154: New Divine Power
Shen Bai was all alone on the vast, boundless grassland.
When Feng Zheng and the others saw Shen Bai through the mirror’s reflection, they witnessed him do something truly horrifying.
Shen Bai placed his hand on the pitch-black gourd, a profound and mysterious smile spreading across his face.
They couldn’t understand why Shen Bai was smiling like that. Only Shen Bai himself knew the reason.
’Wang Tianxing, you really know how to deliver,’ Shen Bai thought.
He was in desperate need of Evil Qi and Deceitful Objects. To think that Wang Tianxing’s plot against him had, by some twist of fate, brought him such a great boon.
Shen Bai had already accumulated eight wisps of Evil Qi, and now was the time to use them.
Wisps of smoke formed words before Shen Bai’s eyes. He glanced up at them, then mentally recited the word ’Appraise’.
Since it was a Deceitful Object, Shen Bai decided to acquire its ability first. As for the fiend in front of him, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with it after he had finished appraising the Deceitful Object.
As Shen Bai had this thought, a burst of chilly aura erupted from the gourd before him.
But just as quickly, this cold aura vanished, and the gourd reverted to its ordinary appearance in an instant.
Meanwhile, Information about the gourd condensed from smoke and floated in mid-air before Shen Bai.

After appearing before Shen Bai, the smoke quickly dissipated, transforming into a massive stream of Information that flowed into his mind.
Shen Bai felt the scenery around him begin to change. He was about to encounter that incredibly familiar phantom figure again.
He had experimented with this before. No matter how long he spent in this virtual world, not a second would pass in the outside world. So, when this happened, Shen Bai wasn’t worried at all.
As this thought crossed his mind, a vast mountain forest appeared before his eyes.
Corpses were strung up all over the forest, each one hanging gruesomely from the treetops. The sight was utterly terrifying.
The phantom figure stood with its hands behind its back, showing only its back to Shen Bai as it faced the dense woods.
Shen Bai stroked his chin and thought, ’What kind of weird and wonderful thing will it show me this time?’
Every time he came here, Shen Bai reaped huge rewards and witnessed many spectacular scenes.
In fact, he found it quite a thrill.
It was like watching a movie. He was always just a spectator. Even if he were to applaud and cheer, it wouldn’t affect the changes around him.
For a bystander to be able to see so much was, of course, especially thrilling.
As Shen Bai mulled this over, everything before him changed once again.
The corpses hanging in the dense forest ahead suddenly dissolved into streams of smoke. Then, emitting an incomparably cold aura, the smoke coalesced into fiends in mid-air.
Once the fiends materialized, they immediately hovered in the sky,
Each fiend radiated a powerful and terrifying aura, like a mountain peak soaring into the clouds, or like a churning sea of blood.
The overwhelming aura washed over him, and even though Shen Bai was just an observer, he felt his breath catch in his throat.
Then, before Shen Bai’s eyes, the horde of terrifying and cold fiends lunged viciously toward the phantom figure.
A series of howls echoed through the sky as the cold aura condensed, relentlessly scouring everything in sight.
Anything it touched was instantly turned to Cold Ice and ruin.
In a flash, the dense forest was transformed into an endless wasteland.
The phantom figure hovered in the sky, hands clasped behind its back. It faced the terrifying fiends charging at it without a single change in expression. It still wore that look of detached indifference, as if no one else in the world mattered and it was the only being in existence.
Just as the fiends were about to reach the phantom figure, it finally moved.
The phantom raised its left hand and pointed into the air.
It was a simple, ordinary motion that even a normal person could perform.
But when the phantom figure did it, the action possessed an otherworldly, ethereal air.
And as the phantom performed this gesture, something extraordinary happened.
The surrounding Space began to tremble violently. Where the phantom’s finger pointed, a hairline crack appeared.
The crack appeared and instantly widened.
The phantom figure reached into the rift and pulled.
Immediately, countless Weapons and suits of armor appeared before the phantom figure.
Countless blurry figures suddenly materialized behind the phantom.
All sorts of weapons fell into the hands of these figures. The blurry silhouettes let out a deafening war cry and charged toward the horde of fiends, ready for slaughter.
A brutal slaughter began to unfold across the desolate ruins.
As the battle raged on, the phantom figure repeatedly pulled items from within the rift.
For every batch of items it produced, another group of blurry figures would receive them, continuing the charge against the fiends like an unstoppable tide.
The two sides were initially evenly matched, but with the phantom figure’s intervention, the number of attacking fiends began to dwindle in an instant.
The rate of decline was slow at first, but as the phantom continuously produced more and more Weapons, the number of fiends began to decrease at a rate visible to the naked eye.
After about the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, not a single fiend was left.
Then, the phantom figure withdrew its hand, and the massive rift in front of it vanished.
The surrounding blurry figures, holding all kinds of Weapons, stood guard around the phantom figure, protecting it as if it were the master of the world.
