Chapter 270 The Poison Sand Saint, Dark Ritual
Jiang Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every member of the clan.
The cave erupted in an uproar.
"A reincarnation of the Gu God?"
&34;How is that possible?&34;
"Golden eyes! That's right, ancient texts say the eyes of the Gu God are pure gold!"
"The Holy Envoy said that anyone with golden eyes must never be allowed in!"
Discussions rose and fell, and the Sand Gu tribesmen displayed a variety of expressions, some doubtful, some fearful, and some fanatical.
Just then, a sharp voice pierced the noise: "Shut up!"
The crowd parted to make way for a tall, thin elderly man who walked slowly towards them.
The old man looked to be at least a hundred years old, with deep wrinkles on his face and withered hands, yet he was vigorous and his eyes gleamed with an eerie red light.
"Poisonous Sand Saint Envoy!" The Sand Gu tribe members all knelt down in worship.
Jiang Mo looked at the old man, his eyes gleaming with golden light: "It really is you. The dark bloodline within you is quite active."
The old man sneered: "What reincarnation of a Gu God? Utterly laughable!"
"The God of Gu no longer exists; only the great Sect Master of the Heavenly Gu Sect is the Lord of All Gu!"
Jiang Mo shook his head and sighed: "Being controlled so thoroughly, it seems you're beyond saving."
The old man flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Arrogant brat, how dare you run wild in my Sand Gu tribe!"
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding clansmen immediately raised the Gu bottles in their hands.
Countless poisonous insects swarmed out, forming a black cloud that rushed towards Jiang Mo!
A hint of disdain flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes: "Ignorance."
With a gentle wave of his hand, a golden light flashed, and the swarm of poisonous insects instantly froze in mid-air.
They then turned around and lined up neatly behind Jiang Mo, like a well-trained army.
"Impossible!" the old man exclaimed in shock. "How could the poisonous insects of my Sand Gu clan betray us?"
Jiang Mo sneered: "I've said it before, before the God of Gu, all Gu in the world are his subjects."
"These poisonous insects won't attack me at all; on the contrary, they'll treat me as their master."
The old man's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty, then he suddenly grinned maliciously: "So that's how it is. You do have some skill after all."
"However, since you are the reincarnation of the Gu God, I'd like to see if you can withstand this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a black bone flute from his bosom, put it to his lips, and gently blew on it.
The piercing sound of the flute echoed in the cave, and the surface of the black lake suddenly churned violently!
&34;不好！&34;魏朵朵惊呼，&34;他在唤醒&39;毒沙王蝎&39;！&34;
Sure enough, the lake surface suddenly exploded, and a huge creature leaped out of the lake!
It was a giant black scorpion over twenty meters long, its entire body covered in a jet-black carapace.
Its eight eyes were blood red like fire, its two giant pincers were as thick as small mountains, and its tail spikes glowed with an eerie purple light.
"Hahaha!" The old man laughed wildly, "This is the sacred beast my Sand Gu clan has worshipped for thousands of years—the Poisonous Sand King Scorpion!"
"Even if you are truly the reincarnation of the Gu God, you are no match for it!"
The giant scorpion let out a piercing hiss, its eight eyes fixed on Jiang Mo, filled with savage killing intent.
The surrounding Sand Gu tribesmen all retreated, fearing they would be drawn into the battle.
"Interesting." The golden light in Jiang Mo's eyes grew even brighter.
"This Poison Sand Scorpion is indeed extraordinary; it even possesses the aura of dark bloodline within its body."
"It seems the Heavenly Gu Sect Master not only corrupted you, but also controlled your sacred beast."
The old man was taken aback, then sneered: "Nonsense! The Poisonous Sand Scorpion is a sacred beast bestowed upon our race by the gods, how could it be corrupted?"
"Is that so?" Jiang Mo smiled calmly. "Then I'll show you what true Gu God power is!"
Having said that, he lightly leaped off the golden scorpion, formed a hand seal, and began chanting an ancient incantation:
"Golden Gu, mighty lord of all Gu, heed my command and reveal your true form!"
As the incantation was chanted, the golden light emanating from Jiang Mo grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming a huge golden phantom.
The phantom was incredibly lifelike; it was actually a deity wearing a golden robe and a golden crown!
"It's the Gu God!" A commotion erupted inside the cave, and many Sand Gu people immediately knelt down and worshipped him.
The Poison Sand Scorpion saw the golden phantom.
The fierce light in its eight eyes dimmed slightly, and its massive body trembled slightly, as if it were struggling.
"How could that be?" The old man's expression changed drastically. "How could the Poisonous Sand Scorpion be afraid?"
He blew the bone flute again, the sound becoming increasingly sharp and piercing.
The Sand Scorpion's eyes turned blood red again, and its struggling body regained its ferocity, even becoming more violent.
With a roar, the huge venomous pincers suddenly clamped down on Jiang Mo!
"With the strength of an ant, how dare you challenge the gods?"
Jiang Mo snorted coldly, spread his five fingers, and his palm shone with golden light.
"Golden Gu Divine Power, suppress!"
A golden hand, even larger than the Sand Scorpion, appeared out of thin air and slammed down on the Sand Scorpion's back!
&34;Boom!&34;
The entire cave shook, and loose rocks kept falling from the top.
The Poison Sand Scorpion was slapped to the ground by this palm strike.
Its massive body sank deep into the ground, struggling a few times but unable to get up.
Jiang Mo turned his gaze to the old man: "Now, it's your turn."
The old man's face was deathly pale, but a strange smile appeared on his lips: "You think you can win like this? How naive!"
He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, his hands forming a hand seal, and his whole body emitted a strange black and red light.
"The alignment of the seven stars is near, the interconnectedness of all realms is imminent, and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master is about to return!"
"Today I will sacrifice my entire clan to welcome the return of our great master!"
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up, and a terrifying energy wave burst forth from within!
"Not good!" Jiang Mo's expression changed. "He's about to self-destruct, triggering a resonance with the Dark Bloodline!"
"Stop him!" Feng Baobao said urgently.
Jiang Mo rushed forward instantly, a golden light flashed, and he struck the old man's chest with a palm!
"Golden Gu Divine Power, Purifying Light!"
Golden light pierced the old man's body like a sharp sword, but the old man just laughed wildly, and the dark energy in his body gathered more and more.
"It's no use! The Dark Bloodline has fully awakened; even the God of Gu cannot stop it!"
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light, and his hands moved even faster: "Golden Gu Divine Might, Return to Origin Technique!"
Golden runes surged from his palm, transforming into countless golden chains that wrapped around the old man's body.
They attempted to suppress that dark energy.
However, the dark energy within the old man's body had reached a critical point.
He was like a bomb about to explode!
"Retreat quickly!" Jiang Mo shouted, waving his hand at the same time.
A golden barrier protected Feng Baobao and her two companions.
"Jiang Mo!" Feng Baobao called out anxiously.
Jiang Mo ignored him, instead raising his hands and chanting an even more complex incantation:
"The Golden Gu's divine power has frozen time!"
A burst of golden light erupted, and the old man's swollen body suddenly froze, as if frozen in a moment.
Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression changed again.
Within the still old man's body, the dark bloodline was still slowly gathering.
Although the speed has slowed down, the trend of explosions has not completely stopped!
"It seems there's only one way." Jiang Mo's eyes shone brightly, and he took a deep breath.
"The Golden Gu possesses divine power, devouring and transforming!"
After saying that, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a golden light shot out from his mouth, directly piercing the old man's brow!
