After the souls of the nine maidservants were sent to the Chaotic Burial Mound, web-like cracks spread across the Angel Statue. It shattered and wept blood, chunks of flesh squirming. From the rustling dark tide, the Desire Mother Goddess glared resentfully at Chu Yi.
She realized that this forbidden entity hadn’t cared about the deal’s content at all; he was merely toying with her as if she were a monkey.
He even released the nine maidservants to dismantle the Treasure without her, the owner’s, permission!
You truly deserve death!
The Headless Angel wriggled. Tumors and eyeballs sprouted from its blood-stained wings, and a murky light of temptation burst forth, illuminating the entire Royal City as if it were daytime.
Chu Yi’s heart tightened. In the prophecy, it was this very move that turned people into the Desire Mother Goddess’s puppets.
He stood still. A layer of brilliant golden waves engulfed his figure, sweeping him up in the currents of time and extracting him from this space-time.
Special skill: Time Flowing Shadow—five seconds of invincibility!
The light of temptation was a glittering, indescribably vibrant color. Like a living creature, it immediately enveloped Chu Yi.
The result was that, under Chu Yi’s taunting evasion, the Desire Mother Goddess, hidden within the colors, bit at empty air; nothing happened.
This forbidden entity had mastered the power of time!
This greatly shocked the Desire Mother Goddess. Even the gods coveted time-based powers, which were more terrifying than an Ancient Pillar!
The Moon Princess reached out with an ethereal hand, enveloping the cluster of colors with dense moonlight, performing a dimensional-reduction attack to seal the space.
At this moment, a Golden Clock crashed down. Perched upon it was a Dragon of the End with six scarlet eyes.
The Twilight Light shone, plunging the area into a Time Stop Domain.
A splendid Star Ring encircled Chu Yi’s hand as he reached for a mass of chaotic threads. The dimensional-reduction attack had loosened these threads, making them easier to tear.
The threads were torn apart. A twisted, chaotic mass quickly contracted, and the Divine Hand rapidly devoured large quantities of vivid, nebula-like chaotic colors, feasting upon them.
The colors struggled violently but could not resist the Divine Hand’s devouring power, like fish on a chopping block, completely at its mercy.
A faint understanding dawned on Chu Yi.
The Divine Hand feeds on gods!
However, as a dim purple glow flowed out, Chu Yi squinted and deliberately let it escape.
The purple glow floated quickly to the hem of the Moon Princess’s skirt and burst into a dissipating halo, as if nothing had occurred.
After a long pause, the Time Stop Domain shattered, and time resumed its flow.
Chu Yi, his black robe billowing, grasped the Soul-Calling Banner in one hand. His other hand, encircled by a Star Ring, carefully sensed the authority sent by the Desire Mother Goddess.
An incomplete fragment of the authority of Desire...
It can’t be called an authority, merely a larger fragment of rules, enough to create a Treasure.
He took the now dim and lifeless Angel Statue and placed it in the kitchen.
The material was the corpse of a Fallen Angel, capable of bearing the Power of Rules and thus vastly more valuable than Dawn Star-level materials.
Seeing this, the Moon Princess’s indifferent silver eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly,
"Your Excellency, since you have achieved your purpose for this trip, please leave..."
Just then, a strong desire surged within her, causing her silver eyes to narrow. She gazed at the King of Black Robes, her lovely face filled with killing intent, an icy frost covering her flawless visage.
The scarlet moon hung above her forehead. A powerful killing desire welled up, and she couldn’t stop herself from wanting to strike down the forbidden entity before her.
Kill... Kill this forbidden entity!
She had been biding her time, holding many hidden cards. If she could kill him and seize the final fruit of victory, she would be tonight’s biggest winner.
Greed, anger, hatred, resentment... all intertwined, forming a deep abyss that threatened to swallow the Moon Princess’s consciousness and drag her down.
The scarlet moon squirmed with flesh and blood. A magnificent, blood-red sunset spread out, shrouding the Moon Princess. Her delicate body trembled slightly. The boiling killing intent instantly subsided, and her cool, jade-like face recovered a sliver of clarity.
Had she actually been parasitized by the Desire Mother Goddess’s will? When did this happen?
"Princess, the Desire Mother Goddess considers us enemies. It’s best to resolve this threat sooner rather than later."
Chu Yi frowned, feigning goodwill. "Princess, if you trust me, I am willing to try."
The Moon Princess instinctively wanted to refuse, but a torrent of conflicting thoughts arose, mixed with rustling whispers as dense as a tide, each carrying potent desires.
Lure the forbidden entity into a trap, ambush him, and strip away all his secrets... Summon a boon from the Night Goddess, perform a ’Divine Strike,’ and erase the forbidden entity’s existence... Engage in relations with the indescribable forbidden entity’s true body, bear forbidden offspring—ten in total—then kill each one and sacrifice them to the Mother Goddess...
Oh no! The Desire Mother Goddess’s wisp of will has already begun to erode her sanity!
Her jade-like face turned icy, overlaid with a clear, cool jade hue, as she quickly said,
"Very well. Since Your Excellency has come from afar, allow me to fulfill my duties as a host."
Soon after, Chu Yi retracted the Soul-Calling Banner. The human skin returned to its place, covering the blood-red figure beneath the black robe.
Having his skin constantly detached had always felt wrong, yet it was more thrilling than streaking.
With the Soul-Calling Banner retracted, the writhing black mist gradually dissipated, and thousands of spirits returned to the Chaotic Burial Mound.
This gesture made the Moon Princess lower her guard. Her silver eyes softened slightly, and she also withdrew the two-dimensional blade.
Chu Yi followed her to the Princess’s towering and magnificent residence.
The Royal City had been ravaged by the Desire Mother Goddess, but parts of it still survived.
"The great battle is over, and the Princess has won!"
"That’s wonderful! The Joyful Sect truly deserves death! How dare they target us! I will immediately issue an order to exterminate the Joyful Sect!"
"Yes, don’t let a single one escape!"
The powerful experts loyal to the Princess were each filled with indignation and immense frustration.
When dealing with Evil Gods, even esteemed Dawn Star Powerhouses with King-level Pet Beasts were nothing more than slightly larger ants.
Lu Qi had experienced this profoundly at that bizarre banquet.
That feeling of his fate being beyond his control, of facing death at any moment, the despair welling from the depths of his soul—he never wanted to experience it again.
And this only served to highlight the King of Black Robes’ power. He had conducted himself with such ease at the banquet, completely unaffected as he engaged in extortion and blatant exploitation.
Everyone looked up in awe.
That black robe billowed slowly, sweeping away the overwhelming black mist. Thousands of spirits trailed behind him as he, having apparently reached some agreement with the Moon Princess, entered the residence with her.
Everyone took a deep breath, finally relaxing.
Thankfully, the King of Black Robes had shown goodwill and seemed friendly towards the Moon Princess.
Wait, his real purpose for coming here was actually to reap the God of Joy?
Some Beast Taming experts suddenly realized.
They recalled his last appearance, scheming against two great Evil Gods. This time, he had destroyed the Desire Mother Goddess’s machinations. Just how deep was this forbidden entity’s hatred for the Ancient Evil Gods? Or did he have some sort of collecting fetish?
Or perhaps, Evil Gods were merely his meals!?
This concealed a world-shaking secret!
The actions of a forbidden entity undoubtedly involved intricate schemes; every step held profound meaning!
The implications were terrifying!
Fortunately, he was not an enemy.
