Chapter 696: Chapter 587: Turning Waste into Treasure, Filth Cleaning for Survival

The waves were furious, and the storm was dark.

Beneath the sea surface tinged with black and yellow, there faintly emerged a stream of black qi and a stream of white qi, intertwining like two large tadpoles connected tail to head.

Between them, from the deep seabed, an island surfaced, covered with muddy flesh and nauseating flesh buds.

A day had passed, and the rules of pollution carried by the "Inner View Dirty Bomb" had completely discharged, forming an extremely sinister Deceit Realm.

After the initial baptism of a rain of flesh worms, the effects of this Deceit Realm finally stabilized completely.

Even on a sunny day, the vast sea area nearby Dushuo Mountain seemed perpetually fixed at dusk.

With just a slight drizzle, corresponding to the "cloud and rain" aspect, the area would suddenly transform into a dark, life-forbidden zone.

Fish would come and die, birds would come and fall, ships would come and sink...

They were then twisted by the rampant Yin Yang qi into grotesque shapes that induced nausea.

Be it soft-bodied animals, deep-sea creatures, or even inorganic materials like ship planks, sand, and Water Qi, all seemed to be kneaded at will by a playful child.

Even if a Mortal merely glanced at it superficially, it was a desecration of nature and a defilement of aesthetics.

Over time, it was akin to peeling open the skull and pouring rotten mud directly into the cranial cavity.

"Hiss..."

"Awo..."

"Roar..."

One after another, sinister Deceit Monsters, like a swarm of crowded maggots, gathered on the sea surface and on the island, incessantly roaring towards the sky.

It seemed as if they held some deep-seated grudge against the Yellow Heaven above them.

Some of these Deceit Monsters had reptilian bodies covered with sticky green eyes, with only a large gaping mouth in the center of their heads.

Layers of frigid sharp teeth formed a terrifying blade corridor, extending all the way into the stomach, emanating green smoke from a dark hole.

Their original form appeared to be some kind of seabed worm.

Others still bore a faint shadow of humanoid creatures, but had a decayed wooden helm growing on their heads.

Hunched over, they crawled on the ground with seven or eight uneven shriveled limbs, all the while crying, "Help, help."

Their original form seemed to be a mix of humans, sea spiders, and wrecked ship debris.

Another had its red flesh turned inside out, its body wrapped with a dirty, tattered sail serving as a skin for protection against wind and rain, resembling a sea burial returnee come back to the Mortal World.

The parents who birthed it were likely a torn canvas and a sailor’s Corpse.

The largest group among these Deceit Monsters consisted of sea creatures Mutated and pieced together haphazardly.

A gigantic fish creature with human limbs flailing, a turtle with an ugly human face on its back... so many, too numerous to count.

Almost no two Deceit Monsters looked the same.

Clearly, because the difficulty of living beings mating with each other was much lesser than violating the natural laws with inorganic matter.

If Mortals accidentally entered other normal Deceit Realms, as long as they learned and adhered to the corresponding Precept Taboo, there was still a chance of survival.

But this Deceit Realm, after being polluted by the "Inner View Dirty Bomb" representing extreme chaos, lacked even established taboos, guaranteeing affliction for those who entered deeply.

It, too, was a dirty bomb left behind by a dead supernatural being.

The Ancient Twelve Corpses, while having the constraint of Returning Ruins and with occasional corpse riots, were relatively calm in behavior.

Only when it came to Joyful Vajra was true ferocity revealed.

Luckily, Wang Yuan had activated his Power in advance, setting up several Sealing Boundaries around this sea area that spanned at least the size of a county, leaving only a small gap at the border of Dushuo Mountain.

This made all creatures passing nearby unconsciously avoid and steer clear.

This barely managed to control the pollution spilling out of the Deceit Realm.

Of course, for most normal beings, this Deceit Realm was undoubtedly a nightmare.

But due to its extremely special twisted rules, for some humans with abnormal minds, it was a precious site.

"Let’s get started right here, brothers. Don’t delay even for a moment."

A large group of people carrying various supplies and Magic Artifacts exited Taoyuan and hurriedly arrived here.

With many hands making light work, they quickly constructed a well-equipped and enormous research institute on the sand beach covered by the Deceit Realm, using sand, Peach Wood.

They even directly hung up a sign saying "Dushuo Mountain Biological Research Institute."

The few leading the group didn’t start working immediately but came directly to the edge of the Deceit Realm.

Looking at the hideous Deceit Monsters inside, they were not afraid but rather marveled:

"The combination of Yin and Yang qi here, and the reproductive barrier between various organisms and non-organisms has been completely broken."

"This must be the ’Dharma Primordial Spirit’ of Joyful Vajra, a high person in the Dharma Image Realm. Such novel rules are unparalleled in heaven and earth."

"Star Lord Taibai spoke well.

Research often starts with individual cases, then proceeds through exhaustive methods to explore and assess the nature, composition, and unique operational laws of unknown phenomena.

This ’exhaustion’ is naturally the foundational ability of all intellectual activities and research.

Whether it be biological or non-biological, this Deceit Realm represents the infinite combination possibilities between various entities.

If we can glimpse even a fraction and apply it to our own Daoist Skill Body, the benefits would be endless!"

Lei Mingyuan, who had been working with Qingyan and Long Shao in hybrid rice research and achieving substantial results, surprisingly stepped out from the agricultural research institute.
