The boy charged forward with great momentum, only to be slapped away by Yi Shuihan.
"You've got some skills, much better than those three good-for-nothings. You're qualified to witness my true form."
The little boy's face was half swollen. He stood up and started talking to himself. Then, to Yi Shuihan's astonishment, he transformed into a muscular man.
"So spicy it hurts my eyes."
Yi Shuihan stared speechlessly at the muscular man in front of him, unsure of how to react.
"What an ugly gesture."
The one who spoke was the woman from the Louvre trio, who had fought the Poison King earlier. Even though they were on the same side, she still showed a look of disdain towards the muscular man, while the one who called her "junior sister" didn't react at all.
Chapter 994, One Word Defeates the Enemy
Yi Shuihan could tell at a glance that the muscle shape was the other person's true appearance. The previous boyish appearance was just the result of the other person compressing his body. Perhaps he himself knew that his original appearance was not good-looking, so he disguised himself as a boy.
The muscular man had bulging muscles and was surrounded by a faint black aura. What was even more terrifying was that there were three mouths on each side of his shoulders, open and revealing teeth and tongues.
This muscular man's real name is Greed. He cultivates a technique called the Gluttony Technique. This technique allows one to directly consume rare and precious materials and convert them into cultivation power. The more rare and precious materials one consumes, the faster one's cultivation power increases.
The cultivation process of the Gluttony Technique is very simple; all you have to do is eat. However, this does not mean that it is easy to reach a high level by cultivating the Gluttony Technique. During the cultivation process, it is easy to get caught up in the pleasure of rapid improvement in cultivation, leading to addiction and an inability to extricate oneself. In the end, the appetite will consume you, you will lose your mind, and you will become a monster that only knows how to eat.
Even with strong self-control, someone like Greedy will experience various physical changes after cultivating to a certain point. Greedy was originally a good-looking man, but after cultivating the Gluttony Technique, he turned into the muscular man he is now.
Of course, for those who only pursue power and don't care about appearance, there's nothing wrong with that. It looks intimidating and can be very deterrent to enemies with weak wills.
Greed let out a roar that was not human, and its body swelled up several sizes again. Its eyes were filled with greed as it looked at Yi Shuihan. Its seven mouths opened wide at the same time, and gusts of air like whirlwinds came out from them.
His body charged forward like a sharp sword, the whirlwind exploded in the air, and the mist obscured the greedy figure.
Within the mist, numerous illusory figures moved rapidly, dazzling the eye. Each one seemed greedy, but clearly there was only one real person.
Suddenly, two hands appeared beneath Yi Shuihan's feet and grabbed them.
"I'm here, get down here!"
They wanted to drag Yi Shuihan underground, but no matter how much greedy they were, Yi Shuihan remained unmoved. The two sides were not even on the same level. This move would be invincible against others, but it was like showing off one's skills in front of an expert when it came to Yi Shuihan.
A mocking smile appeared on Yi Shuihan's lips. He suddenly lifted his foot and stomped it hard on the ground, creating a deafening roar that shook the entire ground.
A bloodcurdling scream, the most agonizing of all, followed by a steady trickle of blood seeping from the ground, accompanied by bits of flesh.
"What? He killed Greed?"
The female disciple from the Louvre exclaimed in surprise.
Only then did Yi Shuihan have time to examine her closely. She was tall and slender with a beautiful face, and her full breasts were impossible to hide. She had an air of arrogance on her face.
Women who embark on the path of cultivation are not ugly, because their bodies will naturally develop towards perfection during the cultivation process.
Even Yi Shuihan had to admit that the woman in front of him had the right to be proud; she was considered beautiful among the thousands of female cultivators.
"If he wants to kill me, he should be prepared to be killed by me, or do you think I should just let him kill me?"
Interesting. The killing of a fellow disciple didn't generate any hatred; was it more of an accident?
"Although I didn't like him very much either, he was one of the three remaining disciples of Luofu. Since you killed him, you shall pay with your life!"
The Louvre disciple, who had maintained his leader's posture, took out a chessboard and shot chess pieces into the void, transforming them into soldiers and generals, each with an aura of at least silver.
"It's a bit like turning beans into soldiers."
With a low murmur, Yi Shuihan moved, his figure constantly weaving through the crowd, leaving behind afterimages as he unleashed punches, palm strikes, and kicks—a variety of attack postures clearly visible.
"What else is fun? Bring it out!"
"You mean..."
Before he could finish speaking, explosions rang out continuously, and the soldiers and generals were transformed back into chess pieces, but they were all broken in two.
The chess pieces fell to the ground with a sound like rain, leaving the pretentious man holding the chessboard stunned.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, let's go together."
A crisp sound rang out, and a phoenix phantom appeared behind the female disciple, followed by the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger, and the Azure Dragon.
"Four Gods Kill"
With a single point towards Yi Shuihan, the Phoenix, Black Tortoise, White Tiger, and Azure Dragon roared and charged forward.
The pretentious man was also dissatisfied and threw the chessboard away. A huge phantom of the chessboard appeared in the sky, emitting a dim light.
"The Fury of Chu River"
Like the Milky Way falling from the heavens, the black water, composed entirely of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, surged forth as if it were about to destroy the world.
The Fire King and Cold Prince, who were already severely injured, both showed despair on their faces. When Yi Shuihan killed the boy, they had a glimmer of hope that they could survive. Now, seeing the two men's attacks, they did not think Yi Shuihan could survive. And if Yi Shuihan could not survive, then they would naturally not survive either.
Will there be a miracle?
The Fire King stared intently in Yi Shuihan's direction, completely ignoring the pain in his body.
The massive energy fluctuations were felt throughout the Louvre. Everyone else searching for treasures in the Louvre looked in the direction of the energy fluctuations and then flew in that direction without prior arrangement.
"Who is fighting? Or has a supreme treasure been unearthed?"
"The treasure that can emit such fluctuations belongs to none other than me."
Facing the raging river and the four beasts, Yi Shuihan simply uttered a calm "Stop."
It was like a divine declaration; once spoken, heaven and earth submitted.
The wind stopped, and the four beasts were still baring their fangs and claws, but they stopped moving not far from Yi Shuihan, and the river that covered the entire sky above Yi Shuihan also stopped there strangely.
Upon seeing this, the pretentious male and female disciples exchanged a glance and ran off in different directions. They had realized that Yi Shuihan was a powerful being they could not possibly resist.
"Do you think you can escape? Get back here."
With a gentle flick of his sleeve, the river and the four divine beasts seemed to have been redirected, returning to their original source.
Chapter 995, Blood of the Floating Pagoda
Seeing the river rushing towards him, a determined look flashed in the pretentious man's eyes. He swiped his palm, and a drop of golden essence blood appeared. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the essence blood towards the river, radiating a purifying, holy light.
The black water was exposed to the light and evaporated rapidly, until only a small portion remained when it reached the pretentious man.
Having lost that drop of essence blood, the pretentious man's once rosy complexion had turned deathly pale. Some of the remaining Black River water had also spilled onto him. The Black River water was highly corrosive, instantly turning his clothes to ash, and leaving several large scorch marks on the pretentious man's body.
On the other hand, the female disciple was much luckier. After paying a certain price, the four divine beasts actually merged back into her from behind.
These all happened during the movement; even when they were no longer in immediate danger, they continued to flee into the distance.
As the pretentious man fled, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, with an unchanging smiling face—it was none other than Bu Er.
Seeing the arrogant guy fleeing in his direction, Fuji's eyes flashed, and he made a gesture to let him pass. This put the arrogant guy, who was originally gathering his power to forcefully break through, at ease, and he glanced at Fuji with some disdain.
Just as the pretentious guy passed by Fuji, Fuji suddenly attacked, striking the pretentious guy in the waist with a palm strike, sending him flying.
"mean!"
While spitting out blood, the pretentious man quickly pressed acupoints on his upper body. His internal organs were being invaded by the strange power of the two. If he hadn't been injured, this strange power wouldn't have been a problem, but now he could only barely suppress it.
"Hand over the treasures you possess, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Fuji, completely oblivious to being the one who launched the sneak attack, spoke indifferently.
"Mind if I get involved too! (smile)"
A swarm of flying insects suddenly appeared, then quickly coalesced to form an ugly man with a strange and unpleasant voice.
"The Insect King!"
A hint of apprehension flashed in his smiling eyes. This Insect King was a ruthless person. The Insect Scripture he cultivated required him to endure the pain of being devoured by billions of insects from the very beginning. Only by overcoming this hurdle could he officially begin cultivating the Insect Scripture and endure the even more difficult pain of soul splitting.
It is said that the Insect King has split his soul more than 10,000 times and has more than 10,000 insect clones. Each insect clone can control tens of thousands of soul insects, and the soul insects number in the millions. This is an existence that ordinary people in the Heavenly Stepping Realm cannot withstand. It can be said that one Insect King is equivalent to several hundred Heavenly Stepping Realm people.
Unless there is a way to restrain the Soul Insects, the only option when facing the Insect King is to run away. Once surrounded by Soul Insects, there is only the outcome of waiting to die.
"Of course, he'll give it to you."
With a smile, he turned his gaze and said, but despite his words, he did not leave. He clearly wanted to see the true strength of the Insect King. In other words, if the show-off had the ability to fight the Insect King to a draw, he would come and take advantage of the situation. If he had the chance, he would definitely not mind taking care of the Insect King as well.
The Insect King gave Wei Xiao a deep look, seeing through Wei Xiao's intentions, but he didn't say anything. He was confident that a lose-lose situation would not happen to him, and how could Wei Xiao know his trump cards?
"Buzz"
In the blink of an eye, countless soul insects appeared before the Insect King, overwhelming the sky and creating an even greater spectacle than the Blackwater River.
"If I hadn't been injured."
The pretentious man looked very unpleasant. The scene before him seemed frightening. If he still had his chessboard, he could easily deal with it, and might even be able to kill the two people in front of him. However, he was now in a difficult situation, even if he could protect himself.
"Do you think I'm a pushover that you can bully at will?"
A glint of madness flashed in his eyes, and the pretentious man suddenly plunged his hand into his abdomen, painfully pulling out a drop of golden blood—the very essence blood he had used to save his life. As soon as the essence blood appeared, the pretentious man coughed up several more mouthfuls of blood, and his aura plummeted, only stopping at the edge of the Heavenly Realm.
Faced with this essence blood, the soul insects became somewhat flustered, wanting to stay away from it as if it posed a great danger.
"The Luofu True Scripture? You are practicing the Luofu True Scripture. This is a secret manual that only the lineage of the Luofu Palace Master is qualified to practice. It can condense the blood of the Buddha, which has many mysteries, one of which is that it can be used to purify and defend against enemies."
Fuji suddenly spoke loudly, his expression somewhat excited.
"Give me a drop of Buddha's blood, and I will no longer make things difficult for you, how about it?"
"Smile, then leave now. The Blood of the Buddha is mine alone."
The Insect King said in a sinister tone, he also knew about the Blood of the Floating Pagoda and was extremely eager for it. Putting aside its other effects, a single drop of the Blood of the Floating Pagoda could easily increase his Soul Insect clones by ten thousand, and his strength would increase by more than just double.
"Insect King, don't go too far. I was the one who discovered him first."
Fuji showed no weakness this time. Even though he was unwilling to confront the Insect King, he couldn't care less about anything else when it came to the Blood of the Floating Pagoda.
"Haha, you two still want my Floating Pagoda Blood? Dream on! You two ignorant fools, I'll show you the true power of the Floating Pagoda Blood. Also, remember my name, Ouyang Tu. I'll come looking for you later."
"not good."
By the time Smile and the Insect King realized what was happening, the essence blood burst forth with intense light and exploded without warning.
Within the blast radius, the soul insects were annihilated in the blink of an eye, and the insect king was also swallowed up.
At the moment of the explosion, Fuji took out a jade talisman and crushed it. A faint light spread out, and a white protective shield surrounded Fuji. It was a life-saving trump card given to him by his master, which could withstand even an attack from a half-step World Realm expert.
Even when facing Yi Shuihan, Bu Er did not take it out, although it was also because he did not have the opportunity.
The explosion of the Buddha's Blood caused some cracks in the protective shield, demonstrating the immense power of the explosion.
When the explosion subsided, only Bu Er remained in the spot. The Insect King was nowhere to be found, and Ouyang Tu had completely vanished without a trace.
Chapter 996, Going to See the Four Divine Beasts
Not only did he not gain any benefit, but he also used up a life-saving trump card. Bu Er's expression was extremely ugly. He was unwilling to give up and tried to sense Ouyang Tu's aura, wanting to find him. The Fu Tu blood was very precious to those who had cultivated the Fu Tu True Scripture. Once lost, they would suffer a great loss of vitality. It was very likely that the other party had not gone far.
A moment later, Fuji's gaze was fixed on a rockery not far away, where a faint trace of blood was visible.
Fuji muttered an unknown incantation, and the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuated violently, forming a huge fireball in front of him.
"go."
Pointing towards the artificial hill, a fireball carrying immense heat flew towards it like a cannonball.
Rumble
The artificial hill was blown to pieces, but what caused Bu Er's death was that no trace of Ouyang Tu was found.
"Damn it."
He cursed under his breath and turned to leave.
One minute later, Fuji reappeared in the same spot, looking around with a disappointed expression for a moment before truly leaving.
The place where the artificial mountain was originally placed is now covered with scorch marks, and dozens of meters below the scorch marks is a small, secret room where Ouyang lies unconscious.
The Blood of the Floating Pagoda is incredibly precious. Ouyang only managed to condense three drops in total, each drop being equivalent to half of his life. Losing two drops meant he was lucky not to have fallen in cultivation level. If he couldn't recover from his injuries and replenish the Blood of the Floating Pagoda within a certain timeframe, his potential would revert from a monstrous genius to an ordinary genius, and the possibility of breaking through to the World Realm would be reduced by an unknown amount.
"Buddha Blood seems to be a good thing. Should we confine it and use it as a Buddha Blood incubator? It seems to have some potential. A drop of Buddha Blood can at least create a Silver-level talent."
Only Yi Shuihan in the entire secret realm could keep track of everyone's movements. His gaze seemed to pierce through the void and land on the unconscious Ouyang Tu.
When Yi Shuihan decided to use Ouyang Tu as a vessel for cultivating the blood of the Buddha, Ouyang Tu, who was in a coma, seemed to sense something and his whole body trembled.
"What do you want?"
Shangguan Rou stared stubbornly at Yi Shuihan, her heart filled with bitterness. She never expected that she would encounter such a monster as Yi Shuihan so soon after waking up from the seal. He had easily killed that perverted greedy man, and had also easily returned from the powerful attacks of her and Senior Brother Ouyang. Now, he had even sealed her cultivation, and she didn't know whether Senior Brother Ouyang was dead or alive.
"That depends on whether you cooperate or not. Release those four little animals from before."
"what?"
