Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1768 - 478: The Blood-Colored Path, Collective Devilic Transformation

The path ahead, a slight misstep could lead to a thousand miles of error, that bit of unrealness is not enough for them to find the way.After trying all night, it still didn't work.

On the second night, the Bright Moon edged closer to being full, gaining more power, while the blood-red stains upon it became more pronounced.

This attempt was somewhat stronger than the previous night, yet still lacked just a bit.

As the latter half of the month arrived, Yu Ziqing contemplated that to strengthen the connection, only two paths remained.

One was to wait, to wait until the Bright Moon's power grew stronger, until it became a full moon.

However, as time passed, Yu Ziqing felt an inexplicable ominous premonition.

When the full moon arrives, something significant may happen.

If not waiting, then only the last method could be tried, to cast Moonlight Divine Skills while using the rosy clouds, to strengthen the connection.

Gazing at the Bright Moon, Yu Ziqing pondered over and over, and decided not to wait.

He just wondered, in correspondence with the Bright Moon's current state, what changes might occur when casting the Moonlight Divine Skills.

The blood mottle on the Bright Moon had not fully diffused, staining the entire Bright Moon; at least, the Moon God should not have completely fallen yet. As long as it hadn't lost its human true form, there should be no problem.

As for losing the human form, Yu Ziqing thought it was unlikely.

The Moon God's true form, unlike Che Lun or Matchstick men, is the outcome of Juice's intervention.

Yu Ziqing did not believe the Cliff Divine King could pull the Moon God down and even change that true form.

If even the result anchored by Juice could be altered, Yu Ziqing thought he might as well go back to eating and drinking well, lying flat and waiting for death.

He extended both hands, one hand casting the rosy clouds, colliding with the bright moon's radiance to activate the route.

With the other hand, he minimally cast the Moonlight Divine Skills.

Inevitably, this time, the Moonlight Divine Skills did not directly summon surveillance as before.

Instead, as a wisp of blood-colored moonlight fell on Yu Ziqing, it was as if it draped him in a veil of blood color.

The powers infiltrated back into his body, slowly seeping out a thread of ominous aura from Yu Ziqing.

And on his body, lots of the power of the Three Calamities emerged, unlike in the past, when it came about incidentally during disasters.

Now, this power was generated from his being.

It was as if, at this moment, he himself became the disaster, the omen, the harbinger.

His visage began slowly transforming toward the hungry ghost, and ominous substances like black oil started oozing out of his body, as if the space beneath his feet was set ablaze.

The Fire Bird standing on Yu Ziqing's shoulder froze as it sensed the ominous aura, coming into contact with the black oil-like substances, as if encountering its nemesis, causing it to instinctively enter a state of tonic immobility, hoping the threat would pass it by.

The Fire Bird dared not move its eyeballs, trembling violently within subtle movements, experiencing immense terror.

The vast fear it had felt hundreds of years ago resurfaced.

And this time, it was more direct and far more terrifying than before.

Back then, with just a single encounter, it was almost obliterated on the spot, severely wounded and ending up a featherless fool, taking ages to regain some vitality.

Others might be unsure, but the Fire Bird truly had contact; it was now a hundred percent certain that this power was exactly the same as when the hungry ghost King had beaten it down.

Yet as soon as this notion emerged, the Fire Bird felt even more terrified.

Who am I? Where am I? Why do I have to know this?

Can I not know? I'm just a foolish bird.

Why must I feel this?

Help, I only wish to be a senseless dumb bird.

Can someone save me?

The Fire Bird standing on Yu Ziqing's shoulder was frightened, not daring to move an inch.

Meanwhile, Yu Ziqing was still feeling the effects of casting Moonlight Divine Skills under the Blood Moon state.

He felt liberating, a release, as though he could fully let himself go at that moment, with no need to care about anything else, an exhilarating sense of all constraints being lifted.

Just like running naked under the moon in a solitary night, recklessly pursuing the most primal of freedoms.

There was a kind of guilty pleasure in crossing boundaries, and even a bit of that perverse feeling of fear of being seen, yet wanting to be seen.

The corners of Yu Ziqing's mouth slightly curled up, his smile unwittingly becoming slightly reckless.

Beside him, the Fire Bird remained stiff, its eyeballs trembling wildly, and upon seeing Yu Ziqing's smile, its fear only worsened.

It wanted to flee, but its body didn't obey; its will seemed oppressed, persisting in its current task. Now it just hoped someone would give it a hard slap, so it could conveniently faint.

"This is... so wonderful."

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but exclaim, a smile already unstoppable, he wanted so much to laugh, to laugh unscrupulously.

He stifled that sense of release, focusing on business, grinning broadly with an exaggerated smile, his appearance had already transformed into a hungry ghost form, with Blood Flame flickering in his eyes.

He looked toward the Fire Bird and advised it in a sentence.

"Watch closely, search for the path well."

The Fire Bird was spared, seemingly regained control of its stiff body, its little head nodding frantically, the flames in its eyes roaring, making the whole bird appear as if it had taken a stimulant, looking as if it would complete its task at all costs.
