On Bone Island, pale mist lingered. Countless shadows squirmed, revealing turbid white eyeballs that were eerie and treacherous, spying on outsiders.
Chu Yi glanced around and calmed his mind to digest the rewards from this journey.
All four Deceit Beasts had entered the third stage. However, to slay the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree, Clock Eye had consumed its essence and would need some time to recover.
Divine Hand can alter causality, Clock Eye distorts time, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner enslaves souls, and the Human King Body is the strongest, capable of challenging Radiant Moon cultivators. There’s also the hidden secret of the Ten Fiends.
Chu Yi rubbed his temples. He felt that he had too many Deceit Beast skills and needed to develop a combat system to integrate them properly.
Moreover, subsequent advancement was also proving troublesome, as he had reached a bottleneck.
It feels place is safe for now, with no immediate danger.
First, I’ll use the Human King’s Decree to enhance Lightning Fist. At the same time, I need to comprehend new secret characters and check the yield from Ten Thousand Souls Ridge.
Chu Yi’s eyes shone brightly, his whole body emitting a golden radiance. A golden glow soared into the sky, drizzling down like fine rain, which burned upon touching the ground. Many shadowy figures retreated as if encountering a natural enemy.
Meanwhile, a Golden Wheel flew out, transforming and intertwining into a golden-patterned, red-edged Emperor Scroll. Large characters outlined in Human King’s Blood emitted an incomparably dazzling golden light, dispersing the surrounding darkness.
With the Human King Body restored, this decree also became splendid and magnificent; it no longer offered random boons but provided creations based on the demands of Chu Yi, this Human King.
Instantly, golden light surged. Figures on the decree traversed ancient times, and thousands of lightning bolts poured down like a torrential rain. Plasma splattered, and Bone Island, for a radius of over thirty miles, suffered a round of Thunder Strikes. The harsh electric light roamed, bright arcs danced, and countless obscure shadows fled frantically.
Soon, countless experts in Lightning Fist emerged one by one: elders, middle-aged men, youths, prodigies, and Demon Path Giants, among others.
Chu Yi immediately used [Create from Nothing], declaring, "I possess the talent of a dragon and phoenix, the potential of a great emperor; practicing Lightning Fist is as if I have divine assistance!"
His Divinity reserve was abundant. Extracting Water Gods (+13), crafting Soul Wine (-2), the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree’s top-tier support (+21), sponging off his fiancée (+24), using a knockout drug on his fiancée (-1), plus some offerings that replenished divine power and the consumption from [Create from Nothing], his Divinity still stood at 42.
As soon as the words fell, all the experts in Lightning Fist exploded, transforming into a multicolored rain of light. This rain condensed into the true essence of Lightning Fist, which surged into Chu Yi, granting him an epiphany.
In an instant, various experiences of practicing Lightning Fist flashed through Chu Yi’s mind. It was like a player completely immersed in their game character, upgrading with a single click, worry-free.
Countless brilliant electric beams converged, all returning to Chu Yi’s body. His clothes burst apart, revealing a magnificent, virile physique, so well-endowed it seemed almost wrapped around his waist.
Human World Giant Cannon!
Not bad. The Human King’s Decree is indeed useful, it just has a bit of a long cooldown.
With dark eyes flashing, a terrifying beam of electricity rampaged out, tearing through the void. It transformed into a fierce electric dragon, plowing a trench over a thousand feet long into the ground and scattering countless gray-black snowflakes.
He felt the experience of Lightning Fist deeply ingrained in his soul; a single punch could trigger Celestial Thunder, no less powerful than a King-level lightning-element Pet Beast.
Moreover, using [Create from Nothing] and leveraging the Frenzy attribute of lightning, he had, in his spare moments, comprehended a new secret character—Break!
[Break]: Exert power to the extreme, causing tremendous Armor-Piercing damage.
Activating the ’Break’ secret character required striking the target multiple times for it to take effect.
After resolving the Lightning Fist upgrade, Chu Yi touched his back. His spine had become scorching hot, now housing the fierce soul of the Candle Dragon.
One of the Ten Fiends, the Candle Dragon, master of day and night.
Chu Yi vaguely guessed that the advancement of the Human King Body was bound to the Ten Fiends. His spine housed the Candle Dragon, so would the remaining nine fiends be distributed among his other bones? That would be a real spectacle.
The so-called Ten Fiends Secret Realm also resembled what games called a dungeon.
Oh, right, there’s also the yield from Ten Thousand Souls Ridge.
He split off a part of his consciousness and entered Ten Thousand Souls Ridge.
In the dim mountain range, a pale snow flurry drifted down. Bones protruded from the ground, skulls littered the landscape, and countless withered trees stood like ferocious Demon Ghosts, baring their claws and fangs.
As soon as Chu Yi entered, he saw the giant stele of his number one contributor, suppressing the lingering consciousness of the Flesh and Blood Willow Tree, standing at the entrance.
"Thank you for your support, my number one contributor. You’ve worked hard."
Chu Yi was always lenient with benefactors. The other party had risked its life to upgrade his Deceit Beasts; it deserved a proper thank you.
An unwilling roar came from within the stone stele, stirring up a blizzard of bone ash that contained high levels of radioactive contamination.
As a subordinate of an ancient Lord of the Netherworld, to be slain by a living being in its home territory of the Nether River—everything it had was now a dowry for this hateful fellow. It was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Just as Chu Yi was about to show off a special trick for his number one contributor, a soft, sweet voice, tinged with pleasant surprise, reached his ear, and a pliant, tender body pressed against his back.
Although it was only his consciousness, he could still feel a certain softness.
"Ahem, I’ve come for an inspection. Have you been working hard and doing your job properly?" Chu Yi wrapped an arm around her.
Hmm, a slender waist, even slimmer than the Moon Princess’s.
At this moment, he noticed that Jiuying had changed her attire. A vivid red, chest-high gown accentuated her perfectly curvaceous, gourd-like figure. Her long, thick hair, like seaweed, cascaded over her snow-white, delicate shoulders, and a six-petaled red lotus was inscribed on her forehead, further enhancing her ethereal, fairy-like beauty.
He was bonded with Jiuying and could keenly sense her changes; she was roughly at the peak of the Dawn Star stage. This was partly due to her status as a handmaiden to the Desire Mother Goddess, which allowed her to accommodate a great deal of power. Secondly, Chu Yi had been nurturing her all along, and she also served as a Demon Soul War General for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, capable of displaying astonishing Mighty Power.
Viewed from another perspective, Jiuying was like a Pet Beast he had personally cultivated, one that also had connections to the Evil Gods.
After a brief hesitation, Chu Yi decided that it was important to balance work and leisure. He figured he should relax a bit and ’have an ice cream’.
Perhaps it was because of Chu Yi’s ’deep cultivation’ with the Moon Princess that Jiuying felt jealous. Her delicate face flushed red, and her Star Eyes grew misty, veiled in a watery haze. Her snow-white cheeks puffed out. Ultimately, she could only suppress her jealousy and swallow her dissatisfaction, a trace of bitterness lingering in her heart.
"Jiuying, of course, Master likes you. Not summoning you earlier wasn’t an attempt to deliberately ignore you." Chu Yi’s brow smoothed. He sighed softly and patted Jiuying’s head, soothing her emotions.
She tilted her head up, her beautiful eyes shimmering with moisture, like a starlit sky reflected in the ocean. Her cherry lips parted slightly as she asked in pleasant surprise, "Really?"
Her cheeks flushed. Encouraged by her Master, her dainty jade feet curled, her delightful toes still moist with water droplets, like white gardenias glistening with dew.
Chu Yi smiled. He had been completely unaware that Jiuying had spied on him and his fiancée ’driving under the pear blossom tree’ through the Sun and Moon Mark. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveIＦire.net
Fortunately, Jiuying was quite innocent. She felt that by doing something the Moon Princess had also done, she had drawn closer to her Master.
Soon, after tidying up a bit, Jiuying led her Master to inspect the Underworld farm under her management.
