Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 650 - 565: Pie From The Sky

"The place of origin overflow is indeed in the lake within the lake!"

The isolating barrier cast by the three Totem Gods couldn’t block the various phenomena during the origin overflow. Although the origin hadn’t fully formed, the fresh air seemed able to cleanse the soul, getting increasingly heavy.

Transformed into "Thunderbirds" flying overhead, Aiven and Angie easily spotted the unnamed islet in Manitoulin Lake, in fact, with three Totem Pillars standing upright there, it was hard not to notice.

Whoosh—

After a slight circle in low air, the two of them quietly landed in a hidden forest on the shore of Manitoulin Lake.

"That is to say, we have to break this barrier established by the united three Totem Gods, or we are bound to be caught in a snare... ahem, and have no escape!"

Staring at the barren island at the lake’s heart, Aiven realized that he must fight for the Spiritual Origin!

And the sooner, the better—ideally grabbing it in the first moment it forms, then dashing out of the Secret Realm.

Because if this "Spiritual Origin" overflows without being absorbed, this Secret Realm might last a long time. Until Mother of Water Melro, as Nata Piyie said, even the other two High-Rank Totem Gods arrive together.

At that point, he really will be trapped with no way to the sky and no door to the ground.

Moreover, the likelihood of this happening is very high because they had already discovered two other Totem Gods on the island hunting powerful Evil Spirits.

Thinking upon this, the word "Danger!" flashed over their heads simultaneously.

Out of a Wizard’s caution, neither dared to rashly step on the island.

One could imagine that the barrier built upon their respective "Totem Pillars" isn’t merely to block off; as the fundament of a Totem God, their spiritual power must linger within, enough to let them monitor the events here anytime.

Meanwhile, also guarding against little tricks the other two sides might play, such as swallowing the Spiritual Origin alone.

As the two peered at the situation, a small Natural Spirit resembling a beaver burst from the lake toward the tricolor barrier, only to be shattered by the powerful backlash of the Totem Pillar.

This also confirmed their guess.

At this, Angie remained relatively calm, after pondering for a moment, whispered a suggestion into Aiven’s ear:

"Teacher, if by the time the three Totem Gods finish off all the powerful Evil Spirits, even just this barrier could block the remaining spirits and demonized creatures.

We can’t let them pick us off like this anymore; we must figure out how to lure those Evil Spirits here as fast as possible. Only by muddying the waters can we fish in troubled water."

Aiven nodded slightly, agreeing with Angie’s plan.

But the thing that attracts spirits the most is undoubtedly the "Spiritual Origin."

Yet if they wait until the origin overflows enough for all spirits to sense it, the three Totem Gods will have already wiped out the scattered Evil Spirits.

As for other stuff?

Aiven suddenly had a flash of insight, snapped his fingers.

"It’s decided... you!"

....

On the overall irregular stripe-shaped Manitoulin Island.

A female human skin filled with glowing gel was wandering aimlessly based on the hunting instincts of an Evil Spirit, leaving one bloody footprint after another in her wake.

Suddenly, her nose, sagging without bones to prop it up, twitched, then she turned and sprinted in a certain direction.

Originally standing silently beside a forest wolf corpse, painting a human face with red pigment, the earth-yellow clay figure suddenly disappeared, reappearing a kilometer away...

A man, whose skin was pierced by countless iron wires, began to sprint madly...

Based on distance and strength, one after another, it was as if they all received some signal—countless spirits on the island surged like a tide towards one location.

This scene was witnessed by Aiven, who audaciously released the Seagull for reconnaissance.

Compared to ultimately being trapped here, falling into the hands of the High-Rank Totem Gods, even if attacked by an Evil Spirit due to the Seagull’s connection to the body, it became an acceptable risk.

"This move seems effective."

Besides being attracted by the Spiritual Origin, the spirits’ primal instinct is to pursue blood and spirit, more specifically, to pursue the life force of living animals.

At this moment.

Swish... swish...

A giant, nearly eight meters tall with crimson skin, whose body proportions are extremely uncoordinated like an "Odd Species," jumped into the saltwater lake, paddling its limbs swiftly towards the lake’s heart island.

In fact, this monster was originally just an unarmed plain board [Flesh Puppet]; Aiven used the "Bronze Talisman" as an energy source to activate the [Flesh Altar], injecting it with excessive life force, forcing it to break through the growth threshold.

In live action, it catalyzed into this seemingly exaggerated but actually extremely unstable "Odd Species" giant.

Aiven felt relieved to possess the Wizard’s means, enabling him to find various suitable solutions as needed; a simple Great Knight facing such a predicament would be at a loss.

Yet, more is less; this giant, while swimming halfway, already began to mutate into a terrifying ball of random proliferating flesh, unsure if it could successfully reach the island.

Anyhow, the expected effect ultimately achieved.

Aiven: For the grand escape plan of your master, you have made a tremendous sacrifice; I will remember you, "Odd Species Lord."

Angie: Teacher, you... are actually a devil?

"Shh, here it comes!"

Having witnessed the capabilities of the Totem Gods, Aiven promptly corrected himself, donning the [Shadow Cloak] seized from the "Poison Plague School," capable of one hundred percent blocking sight from the Material World.

The most crucial task now is to persist!

If the Evil Spirits inadvertently locked onto the two of them, they would inevitably end up in a chilling demise.

Whoosh——

The first guy to arrive here was faster than Aiven had expected. It was a luminous sphere flying in the air, emitting a crystalline glow.

Crack! Boom!

It didn’t look intimidating on the surface, but the moment it brushed past the treetops on the shore, a dozen-meter-tall tree quickly crystallized and then collapsed into a pile of crystal dust, unable to support its own weight.

"Hiss—! Is there such a formidable being among the Natural Spirits?!"

Even though they were hiding under the [Shadow Cloak] and theoretically should not be detected by it, the two people couldn’t help but prostrate themselves on the ground.

This unknown "crystal sphere" should possess some intelligence. Although it was attracted by the vast and majestic life force of the "Odd Species," after sensing the strange aura on the Lake Heart Island at close range, it unhesitatingly bypassed the "Odd Species" still swimming in the lake and rushed to the island first.

Its speed did not diminish, and it fiercely crashed into the tri-color barrier supported by the totem pillars.

Boom——!

But this time, it wasn’t like the other low-level Evil Spirits and Natural Spirits that were brutally killed by the barrier’s counterattack. Instead, it caused the barrier to flicker like an unsteady bulb.

Even part of the energy forming the divine magic barrier was crystallized, falling in pieces and shattering into fine crystal powder. At the same time as the totem pillar gushed out new energy to repair the barrier, the fierce attack of the "crystal sphere" also alarmed the owners of the three totem pillars.

As the vanguard of the first wave of evil spirits arrived at Lake Heart Island, three streaks of flowing light also broke through the sky at the same time.

The three Totem Gods had obviously noticed the unusually large early gathering of evil spirits this time, and each of their faces was extremely ugly. This was completely different from what they had originally planned.

"Sea Serpent God" Nata Piyie noticed that vast life force "Odd Species" in the lake, realizing it was the source of the unexpected occurrence.

In his frustration, he waved and threw countless ice crystal darts to freeze it into a block of floating ice.

"Wild Bull God" Bello and "Giant Falcon God" Flanida unleashed their divine power, and at the cost of their weapons being destroyed, they combined their full strength to shatter the "crystal sphere."

But it was already too late; at the end of their sight, more and more "ghosts" were swarming, and even evil spirits, which they found troublesome, numbered at least four or five.

Disaster never comes alone.

As streaks of light Qi continued to gather in the core of the island, the spirit bodies had begun to go crazy.

Utilizing all their divine powers, they disregarded everything and surged up Lake Heart Island.

There were women whose target could melt into luminous goo, Nimaster men who could pierce through flesh with a hundred percent certainty, constantly teleporting terracotta warriors that killed upon touch...

The most famous among them was the evil spirit "Head of Lamentation," which was the Atrean chieftain Kolasuyu, who only had a human head remaining, grotesquely sighing as he floated over.

It was said that his tribe was the first to receive those far-traveled Hilus People with friendship. As for the consequences, everyone could see for themselves.

Within ten meters of him, everyone would fall into an uncontrollable state of remorse, where every little past mistake would be infinitely magnified, and even breathing would feel like a grave error.

Even the three immensely powerful Totem Gods were no exceptions.

The evil spirits’ tangible, intangible, direct, and bizarre attacks turned this small island into a life-prohibited zone, and if any Tier 2 Transcendent dared to step in, they’d meet a certain death without a second outcome. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Faced with such an unexpected turn of events, the three "Totem Gods," who had already seemingly secured their victory, were immediately thrown into chaos.

Though mighty in power, ants could indeed bite an elephant to death, especially when, in terms of power comparison, these guys were at the level of ravenous wolves.

Rumble!

"You despicable creatures, you all go to hell!"

Of the three Totem Gods, "Giant Falcon God" Flanida was the first to lose composure, initiating the [Divine Name Chant] under the cover of the other two, yet it was difficult to fundamentally reverse the situation.

Watching from the shore under the [Shadow Cloak], Aiven and Angie had done all they could and could only wait patiently for the ensuing developments.

However, Aiven certainly wouldn’t pin all his hopes on others.

While creating the "Odd Species," he had already prepared one last move.

If the "Spiritual Origin" fully formed and the barrier was not yet broken, he would detonate the [Puppet Bombs] that had already spread throughout the island via underwater infiltration.

He couldn’t produce six trillion Detonator Charms, but having a stockpile of a thousand Alchemy Bombs was not a problem.

He called it [Pai Daxing’s Ultimate Farewell Gift 1.0].

With the lake water as a buffer, they didn’t have to worry about being affected while staying on the shore.

However, the development of events is always unexpected.

After ten minutes of chaos on the island.

Dong! Dong! Dong!...

The sound of a bell echoed once again in the void.

A light green gemstone, as big as a goose egg, dazzling and brilliant, suddenly formed and an indescribable exotic fragrance filled the entire Secret Realm, even the immovable plants began rustling in response.

"Hehehe..."

"Kakaka..."

Amidst eerie laughter, the evil spirits became even more frantic, and the barrier between the three totem pillars swayed for the first time. Not to mention them; even Aiven and Angie, who were far on the shore, felt every cell in their bodies urging them to charge forward.

Just as Aiven raised his hand, preparing to ignite the [Triple High-Voltage Millisecond Pulse] to detonate those puppet bombs.

The "Bronze Talisman" left outside after creating the "Odd Species," which is the [Life Authority] of "Feathered Serpent God" Kukulkan, emitted a thin flicker of strange light on its surface.

The next moment.

Whoosh——

The "Spiritual Origin" at the Gem Level, upon fully forming, unexpectedly soared into the air, crossing the Light Barrier without any hindrance, and then... flew directly towards Aiven?!

Faced with such a windfall, Aiven was dumbfounded at this moment:

"Do I have to rely more on luck than strength and strategy? This... is too simple, isn’t it?"
