Chapter 292 The Eye of Destruction! A Manifestation in the World of Cursed Beasts! The Evolution Opportunity for the Little Spider (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Hearing the call, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes.
It wasn't the summoning phrase that shocked me, because it was the contingency plan he left for the world of cursed beasts.
To avoid missing the optimal time for the Black Tide, he left two chess pieces for the Han family through a special prayer revealed by the Eye of Truth that could point to himself.
Once the black tide reaches its peak, the magical energy in the small world will boil to its limit, and the original isolation seal will be eroded. This will serve as a reminder at crucial moments so that you don't miss the opportunity.
The reason for his surprise was simply that the date was one or two days earlier than he had predicted, which meant...
Some strange changes have occurred in the world of cursed beasts.
However, this is quite normal, since the Black Tide had its cycle extended for some unknown reasons before.
Was it a simple accident? Or were the people behind it just getting impatient?
"I originally planned to go to the Cursed Beast Realm after participating in the Saintess Competition, but it looks like I'll have to do it earlier!" Lu Yu made a quick decision without hesitation.
Nothing is more important than my little spider.
Moreover, the flow of time in the main world and the smaller world is different, with at least ten or twenty days in between.
With his current strength, it's quite reasonable for him to be an "extraterrestrial evil god" in the small world. Crushing the Curse King, who is equivalent to the Morning Star rank, would be a piece of cake.
Even a regular Moonlit Realm fighter can be killed with full force!
They are now qualified to investigate the source of the pollution in the world of cursed beasts, to see whether it is because an evil god is passing by, or because some powerful forces are reaping the benefits of the smaller worlds.
It's impossible for an eternal blazing sun to suddenly appear from the black moon, right?
"Stop! I can't think about it anymore! Otherwise, I'll feel like an old general on a theatrical stage, covered in flags!"
Lu Yu quickly stopped some people from thinking about getting killed off. In some melodramatic TV dramas, it's always the extras who make promises before they die.
Even if nothing is wrong, something will still happen!
Lu Yu then conducted a self-examination, realizing that he had recently become arrogant and complacent due to his overconfidence, which was truly not good.
We must firmly adhere to the tactic of bullying the weak and never waver.
Although he was confident in himself, he remained cautious about the [Forbidden Seal].
After all, this thing has been dormant for too long. Last time, he was prepared for it to cause trouble in the Dark Abundance Mother Nest.
There was no movement throughout, but Lu Yu did not let his guard down. He felt that they were probably preparing a big move, so he had to be extremely cautious.
With that in mind, Lu Yu discussed his wishes with his pets and asked for their opinions.
"I have no objection to the repair!"
The first to respond was the mouse. Of all the things Lu Yu said, it only heard the word "make trouble"!
It had long been fed up with the relentless training in Nightmare Prison, and with the Rat Bank nearing its limit, it naturally agreed wholeheartedly!
"Eek!"
The little spider nodded, but before setting off, it needed to prepare newly woven clothes for its owner.
After all, this time it wasn't Lu Yu, nor his disciples, nor the High Priest in Yellow Robes, but...
Mr. Door!
One of its joys is dressing up its owner in different ways, because it can then knit many more different owner dolls, giving it more options for sleeping with them in the future.
"roar?"
Egg was curious: Is the King of Curses delicious?
He had no complaints as long as he could eat.
"My lord, the path you take is the one you follow!"
The Paper Knight has no interest in the small world, but Lu Yu's will is its direction, and it will always silently protect him as his strongest shield.
Although it passed unanimously, Lu Yu didn't rush to enter. To be on the safe side, he first used the Gluttony Cauldron to get a gourmet buff. After seeing the attributes, he thought to himself that he was in luck.
Then, along with its many pets, it sank into the Mother River.
The Shepherd Ship has grown considerably as Lu Yu's strength has increased, and it has already taken the shape of a large ship, completely different from the small boats of others.
The spirit lamp hanging above shone with the brilliance of the primordial starry sky, dispelling the misty sea of spirits within a radius of hundreds of meters. The lamp oil was enough to sustain its burning for more than thirty hours.
Lu Yu soon spotted the Gate to the Realm of Cursed Beasts placed beside the ship.
The edge of the originally dark blue boundary gate was now covered with rust and strange black patterns, vaguely forming a black moon, thus destroying the soundproofing ritual that Lu Yu had set up.
This allows the prayer to reach him!
"Even the gateway to the outside world has been so severely corroded; it's unimaginable what the situation is like inside."
Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then stepped inside.
At Imperial Capital University.
Jiang Ji, dressed in a thorn nun's uniform and carrying a thorn battle axe, had arrived at the door of Lu Yu's dormitory.
Although the battle for the Thorn Saintess was still far off, she couldn't help but want to come over and spend more time with Lu Yu, at least until she obtained the title of the Evil King.
Because once you succeed, you might not have another chance.
But just as she reached out to knock, she froze in mid-air. Even when enduring the sting of thorns without flinching, she felt something for the first time…
Scared!
"Let's just wait for him to leave. Maintaining the status quo is good enough. It's true that the more you get, the greedier you become, and the less courage you lose. I don't want to be a coward..."
In the end, Jiang Ji withdrew her hand and silently leaned against the shadows in the corner of the wall, looking dejected.
Just like that frail little girl who was found trembling in a corner of the ruins of a destroyed city by the Thorn Sisters.
Because I got caught in the rain, I wanted to hold an umbrella for more people...

The World of Cursed Beasts
Ash City.
The Han family's enormous manor expanded further, but instead of becoming more extravagant, it transformed into a sprawling military fortress, exuding an aura of iron and blood.
However, in the center of the manor stands a classically luxurious study that clashes with the surrounding buildings.
Everything inside was arranged the same as before, and in the center stood a mysterious statue of a man.
He looked down at the book, his gaze calm, as if he saw through the truth of all things, with a half-human, half-spider girl perched on his shoulder.
Before the statue, a woman in military uniform and wearing a black and red cloak prostrated herself. After reciting the prayer, she slowly raised her head, revealing a beautiful face of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a resolute expression.
It was Han Ning, the granddaughter whom Han Chang had sent to serve Lu Yu.
At this moment, her face no longer bore the naivety and shyness of the past. Her brown eyes were sharp as an eagle's, full of wisdom and composure accumulated over the years, and every move she made carried the air of a person in a superior position.
But a look of worry appeared on his face, and he murmured:
"My lord, there is still no response to the call."
Because the flow rates of the main world and the small world are different, although Lu Yu has only spent a few months in the main world, for Han Ning, it has been a full twenty years.
She was once just an ordinary girl from a fallen noble family, not even an heir. Because her family lacked powerful curse masters, she was kidnapped by the extremely evil organization, the Negative King Society.
At that time, she was as insignificant as an ant, unable to control her own destiny. She watched helplessly as her father died in front of her. At that moment, she even felt that the entire Han family would disappear into the long river of history.
But at the last moment, they encountered the door, which resembled a humanoid "King of Curses," in their ancestor's graveyard.
With absolute dominance, he crushed the infamous "Negative King Society," illuminating Han Ning's dark future like the sun!
It also granted her power, making her a master of curses that countless people envied.
She was ready to serve this powerful man for the rest of her life, but after Mr. Men assigned them their tasks, he disappeared!
At first, Han Ning didn't think much of it, assuming that Mr. Men had gone to attend to his own business.
In order to prove his worth, he and his grandfather Han Chang confronted the regional governor who was trying to find a scapegoat to cover up his incompetence. The appearance of the two masters of curses instantly stirred up the winds and clouds in the kingdom.
However, this also aroused the greed of many powerful forces, who were curious about what good things the original Calamity Beast Curse God had left behind that made his descendants so strong. Including the kingdom, they secretly sent out many curse binding masters to capture them and interrogate them to find out the secrets behind it.
If they are not careful, the Han family, which has just survived a disaster, will be destroyed by their own people!
Fortunately, the Spirit Worm bestowed by Mr. Gate has a different system for gaining power than ordinary bound cursed beasts. The cost of using cursed power is minimal, so there is no need to worry about distortion, and it can fight for a long time.
Therefore, she and her grandfather joined forces to forcefully delay the several curse masters until they lost control and were finally devoured by the cursed beasts.
This battle made him famous and instilled fear in many powerful families. Even the royal family, fearing assassination, dared not use the Cursed God General at will and was forced to compromise and appease.
This completely solidified the Han family's position!
Afterwards, many nobles who had become estranged from the Han family due to its decline returned to visit, even prepared to be denounced as opportunists. However, Han Chang acted as if nothing had happened, taking the opportunity to quickly integrate a large number of powerful border nobles, returning to the core of the kingdom's power and extending his influence far and wide.
Han Chang possessed the power and influence of his ancestors, and even surpassed it.
Han Ning chose to join the army, gaining prestige through numerous military achievements and successfully rising to the rank of Curse God General. He began to win over the military forces, and with the assistance of Han Chang in the temple, he defended against several small black tides, established Ash City as a stronghold, and carved out a territory, becoming a powerful warlord in the kingdom.
She is referred to by many as the Crystal Valkyrie.
In the blink of an eye, all life is transformed into crystals.
Han Ning had thought that after achieving something, she would be able to see that man again and receive his praise, but the reality was...
For twenty whole years, their calls went unanswered!
If it weren't for the active spirit worm within her, she would almost have thought that Mr. Men was just an illusion and didn't exist in this world at all.
However, Han Chang put forward a conjecture, believing that Mr. Men, like the other Kings of Curses, may be sleeping deep in the Black Tide, and will only awaken when the Black Tide boils to its extreme!
However, during the Black Tide that followed for the next ten years, no King of Curses appeared, allowing humanity to easily withstand the disaster. This caused a change in the mindset of many people in the kingdom, who felt that the power of the cursed beasts was declining.
This included her grandfather.
The current Iron-Blooded Chancellor of the Kingdom is a powerful expert at the level of a Cursed God General, whom even the King must respect. How could he possibly tolerate having multiple masters above him?
Han Ning only discovered a few years ago that his grandfather was not only searching for traces of the King of Curses, but also secretly researching how to seal them.
The intention... is self-evident.
When confronted with her questioning, Han Chang replied that it was to help Mr. Men, but Han Ning just sneered and advised him to be careful, then returned to Ash City alone.
I stayed there for five years!
Despite his persistent prayers day and night, Mr. Men still did not respond.
Han Ning's conviction remained unwavering, and she continued to send people to gather information about the King of Curses for Mr. Men in order to complete her original mission. But now, she was afraid.
Since I am already over thirty years old, the theoretical lifespan of a Cursed God General is only 150 years, and even with the combined power of a nation, it is generally only around 120 years.
If Mr. Door never appears, will she really be able to live until the day he returns?
Or rather, by the time he returns, she will be old, while he will still be young...
Han Ning trembled slightly as he thought of that future. He reached out and touched his face. Because he often fought on the battlefield, his slender fingers were no longer smooth and delicate. They even had a few calluses. He could feel the roughness when he rubbed his cheek.
Han Ning murmured, "Is this the tragedy of short-lived species...?"
Just as she was feeling lost and dejected, the voice of a guard rang out from outside the door:
"Marshal, the Black Tide has begun again!"
Han Ning instantly dropped his weak expression and said calmly:
"I see."
After she finished tidying up the incense burner and dusting off the statue, she pushed open the door and went outside. There were already a large number of curse masters waiting for her.
Among them were powerful figures she had cultivated over the years, as well as representatives from various factions, but all were kept in a state of balance.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black and red military uniform, who began by saying:
"Han Ning, as a marshal, only needs to oversee the overall situation. He doesn't need to do everything personally. Although the Black Tide has been coming on strong for the past two years, it has been all bark and no bite."
As long as the Cursed God doesn't appear, the other cursed beasts can be suppressed using the Difference Engine and the newly developed Golden Electromagnetic Cannon. On the contrary, you've been under a lot of mental stress lately; you should rest more.
As for the King of Curses, he hasn't appeared for twenty years!
There are usually corresponding celestial phenomena before each occurrence, so it's not necessarily that unlucky.
"First, we're not that close, General Xiong Yunzhang. When addressing a superior, you should use my title. Second, I think I've said this many times before: even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Don't underestimate any Black Tide. It's not just your life at stake, but the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and millions of civilians in Ash City. Can you bear that responsibility?"
Han Ning's tone was calm, yet it contained a powerful sense of pressure from someone in a superior position.
Xiong Yunzhang's expression froze, and amidst the mocking gazes of the others, he smiled wryly:
"Yes, Marshal!"
After saying that, she followed Han Ning toward the front line, her eyes filled with admiration.
Although it was initially because his father, a cursed general from the Xiong family of the far north military, had formed an alliance with the border, he wanted his son, a forty-year-old cursed master, to win the heart of the beauty.
Xiong Yunzhang was initially unwilling, believing that he could obtain everything through his own efforts.
However, upon first seeing Han Ning, he was deeply attracted to this woman who possessed both wisdom and strength, and his mind was filled with thoughts of how to become her husband.
But over the years, no matter how hard he fought, he could not attract her attention or even let her gaze linger on him for long.
This made him feel somewhat frustrated.
His reaction naturally caught Han Ning's eye, but he didn't pay it any mind.
Because there are quite a few people who think like him. Some admire her, while others crave the status and power she currently possesses. Even her generals frequently suggest that even if she doesn't like men, she should still have a child as a future heir to stabilize morale in the army.
Without offspring to carry on the legacy, a power will ultimately crumble and fall apart.
Han Ning understood all of this, yet remained silent, even trying to convince himself to accept reality. But…
She really can't do it!
Perhaps it was because I encountered the most stunning figure of my life when I was young.
The other party had never looked down upon her, such a small mortal, yet she was deeply entangled in it.
Han Ning understood, but he only wanted to stubbornly live for himself once more, going all the way down the wrong path.
Life is short, follow your own path!
Han Ning and a large number of curse masters quickly arrived at the front line, on a city wall made of gold.
Ash City, a remote third- or fourth-tier city, has seen significant development due to the emergence of two important figures who have entered the core of the kingdom. Despite its small population, it has received substantial policy support over the past twenty years as the front line against the Black Tide, resulting in rapid urban development and the transformation of half of its urban area into a war fortress.
Meanwhile, the human race's steam technology had reached its limit, so they turned to the research of electric technology, leading them down a unique path of development in electricity and steam. They successfully developed the difference engine and gained powerful computing capabilities.
This led to the creation of numerous tools that greatly saved manpower, including steam-powered electromagnetic weapons that improved the utilization rate of gold, significantly enhancing the strength of the human race.
At this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers, armed with golden guns and carrying cold weapons, stood solemnly and saluted Han Ning and many other generals.
Han Ning nodded in response, gazing into the distance.
hum!
The pebbles on the ground began to jump, and the earth trembled, as if something huge was approaching.
The next moment, on the horizon, the setting sun, which had been mostly submerged, suddenly...
Endless black mist surged and rolled in like the night sky.
From within the thick fog, hideous faces emerged, including giant toads with three eyes, spewing out deadly poisonous fog from their mouths.
A huge lump of filth, covered in garbage, wriggled and swept through everything in its path, spreading a swampy curse.
There was also a wind-borne cursed beast that, wherever it passed, caused countless lives to spew out gales from within, their bodies torn apart by the storm and reduced to countless fragments of flesh and blood that flew in the wind.
Hundreds of distorted, cursed beasts followed the footsteps of the black mist and launched an attack on the distant human city.
Any one of them could easily take the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people.
They moved very fast, covering a distance of only three kilometers in the blink of an eye, their twisted and ferocious curse power spreading, making everyone tremble with fear.
Han Ning watched this scene silently without speaking. When the black fog was about a kilometer away, Xiong Yunzhang gave the order:
"fire!"
Beneath the gold-plated city walls, the sound of hammers striking suddenly rang out, accompanied by a surge of steam. The wall bricks began to deform, revealing countless steam- and electromagnetically powered golden cannons.
Launched rapidly under the powerful computing capabilities provided by the differential engine.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a deafening roar, a barrage of metal projectiles mixed with gold was fired, piercing through a large number of the preceding cursed beasts. Upon impact, the electromagnetic waves, carrying large amounts of gold fragments, spread out, ignoring the barrier formed by the condensed cursed power, and blasted their bodies to pieces.
Although the cursed beast can repair its body, it requires a lot of time, and with the large amount of gold fragments covering it, it falls into a state of inertia.
Although the other cursed beasts were not afraid of death, those below the level of the Cursed God General had no power to resist the multiple rounds of fire from the steam electromagnetic cannon and were directly crushed into dust.
Because of the innovation in gold utilization technology, which reduced losses, and the discovery of a large gold mine near Ash City, they could freely suppress the enemy with firepower.
In a single encounter, the Black Tide's sweeping advance was halted, and morale was instantly boosted!
"I told you, Marshal, you don't need to personally oversee every battle. Human wisdom is the most precious treasure in the world," Xiong Yunzhang said, looking confident and assured.
boom!
However, the next moment, a bizarre figure with a goat's head and a human body, crawling with many legs like a centipede, burst out from the surging black mist. It was ten meters long and exuded terrifying curse power, forcibly imbuing all the animals that did not have time to escape with a curse.
Click click click!
Numerous arthropods pierced through their flesh, forcibly twisting their bodies as they crawled rapidly on the ground.
He kept jumping into the air, blocking a large number of golden cannonballs!
Let the Kuroshio Current continue to surge!
"A newly born Curse God General!" Everyone was shocked. Without a Curse God General of equal caliber, this battle would have been extremely difficult!
"How could this happen..."
Xiong Yunzhang also felt embarrassed. He was about to explain to Han Ning beside him when he found that she had already appeared on the battlefield.
Han Ning's black and red cloak fluttered behind him as he stood very close to the multi-legged cursed beast.
"roar!"
The multi-legged cursed beast opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a poisonous mist containing the multi-legged curse, sweeping towards it.
However, the world before its eyes suddenly became dazzling, and countless crystals appeared, instantly sealing it and many nearby cursed beasts into them, transforming it into a crystal forest that covered a hundred meters.
No matter how hard they struggle, they can't get rid of it!
"The Ultimate Technique of Spells—Crystallized Hell!"
After Han Ning finished doing all this, he returned to the city wall and was greeted by countless admiring glances.
The strong are inherently worthy of admiration!
Their marshal is an outstanding figure, even among the Cursed God Generals!
Han Ning ignored Xiong Yunzhang's ashamed expression and addressed the others:
"Do not bombard the cursed beasts I sealed away. The gold will interfere with the cursed power. We'll lock them all in golden cages later!"
"Yes, sir!"
The others accepted the order and adjusted the direction of the artillery fire, quickly suppressing the black fog, which relieved everyone and filled them with anticipation.
Once this Kuroshio Current ends, we can have a few months, or even a year, of peace and quiet!
However, unlike the others' surprise, Han Ning looked solemn and felt something was wrong. The black mist did not dissipate due to the large number of broken cursed beasts; instead, it became even denser.
This gave her a bad feeling.
Could there be cursed beasts at the level of cursed gods?
Soon, a sudden change occurred!
Bang bang bang!
The many cursed beasts that had been imprisoned by her crystallization curse suddenly broke free, but instead of attacking, they lay prostrate on the ground.
Before everyone's eyes, the overwhelming black tide surged, seemingly engulfing the entire world and making everyone feel suffocated.
Han Ning's pupils contracted, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Could it be...?"
A shadow, deeper than the black mist, emerged, piercing through the black air currents and appearing before everyone's eyes.
It was a gigantic monster with countless black, writhing eyes stacked together, its pupils constantly shifting, gazing at everything with endless madness and chaos.
Its gaze fell upon the large number of human soldiers atop the city walls, and the next moment...
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Hundreds of soldiers suddenly clutched their heads, and beneath their skin, numerous bulges and undulations appeared, as if something was wriggling inside.
Click, click, click!
The skin was torn apart, and numerous black eyes burst forth, tearing through flesh and quickly coalescing, forcibly transforming them into aggregates of eyes.
Whoosh whoosh!
And from deep within its pupils, beams of light burst forth, tearing apart its companions.
In the blink of an eye, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Thousands of people died like weeds!
Click click click!
Before they could continue their rampage, a crystalline curse spread across my body, instantly sealing them away, and then shattering them into countless crystal dust.
However, Han Ning looked at the enormous eye-shaped cursed beast, his eyes filled not with anger, but with despair and fear, and said in a hoarse voice:
"King of Ten Thousand Eyes!"
Throughout the kingdom's history, a total of seven Kings of Curses have been witnessed!
The King of Ten Thousand Eyes is the fifth King of Curses to appear. Upon his first appearance, he twisted over a million people in three cities in the far west into the Ten Thousand Eyes Cursed Servants, who had just been mutated from soldiers.
As a result, the population of the far west has not yet reached 100,000!
The King of Curses, who disappeared for twenty years, has reappeared!
An atmosphere of despair enveloped everyone, and many people even collapsed to the ground, unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.
Han Ning had thought that with her continuous improvement in strength, she should be close to the King of Curses, but when she actually saw them, her entire body's curse power trembled.
It's as foolish as an ant trying to challenge an elephant!
The vibrations from just walking could crush her into dust countless times!
There is absolutely no possibility of resistance!
"Marshal, you are the leader of the legion. First, lead the elite troops and the people to retreat, then report the news to the kingdom. Leave this to us!" Xiong Yunzhang suddenly spoke up from behind.
Before Han Ning could refuse, Xiong Yunzhang arrived at the edge of the city wall, looked at the Ten Thousand Eyes King in the distance, and roared with a ferocious expression, "You dog, feel the power of cannon fire!"
After saying that, he pushed the difference engine to its limit, and hundreds of golden cannons were raised by steam power, aimed at the King of Ten Thousand Eyes in the sky, and fired suddenly!
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, countless electromagnetic cannons carrying fragments of gold fired in unison, hurtling towards the King of Ten Thousand Eyes in the sky.
boom!
With a roar, it successfully hit the target, sending dust flying and surprising everyone!
Gold has a powerful suppressive effect on cursed beasts!
"It worked?!"
However, the next moment, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the unharmed body of the King of Ten Thousand Eyes appeared. A large amount of gold fragments floated in front of it, preventing it from going any further.
The King of Curses can actually interfere with gold!
The myth of gold collapsed at this moment!
"It's over...it's all over!"
It drove everyone to despair!
Xiong Yunzhang was also trembling all over. Looking at Han Ning, who was still in a daze, he roared:
"Run!!"
As he spoke, he wanted to continue the bombardment, but he felt as if his flesh and blood were being devoured by something invisible, growing and writhing rapidly.
Curse of all eyes!
Xiong Yunzhang looked desperate and wanted to remind Han Ning to leave quickly, but he found that she had already put on the Crystal Armor. Reflected on the Crystal Insects behind her, black eyes also appeared.
The others present also succumbed to the curse of ten thousand eyes, their bodies beginning to mutate.
Before the King of Curses, all things are but ants!
"Am I going to die this time...?"
Han Ning tried his best but still couldn't stop the erosion of the Thousand-Eyed Curse. In the moment before death, his mood calmed down, though he felt a little regretful...
This information could not be conveyed to Mr. Door through prayer!
Just as she was awaiting death, she suddenly sensed that the Curse of Ten Thousand Eyes had stopped.
"What's going on!?"
The others were also puzzled, and they all looked at the King of Ten Thousand Eyes, only to find that his countless eyes were spinning wildly, as if...
fear!
Even the King of Curses, capable of destroying a nation, feels fear?
Before they could even wonder, they saw the sky crack open with a "crack," tearing apart a massive void rift thousands of meters long, as if an ancient demon had opened its gaping maw.
In everyone's eyes, whether it was the King of Curses or the cursed beasts on the ground, their bodies began to twist and deform strangely. They opened their mouths but only let out silent roars, and flew towards the crack in the sky in unison.
Finally, the crack closed, and the black tide subsided.
The scene was silent, yet incredibly eerie!
They couldn't understand what had happened, they only knew that...
They survived!
Having exhausted a great deal of his energy and blood, Xiong Yunzhang's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. He smiled at Han Ning and said:
"Even though we don't know what happened, we have to survive..."
His words were cut short as Han Ning, who had been standing in front of him, vanished.
On the other side, Han Ning mobilized all his magical power, condensing it into wings, and flew wildly, his expression excited.
Unlike the others, from her perspective, she saw countless black lines spreading out from the void rift, falling like raindrops, wrapping around all the cursed beasts, turning them into puppets, and forcibly dragging them into the void.
Even the mighty King of Curses was as weak as an infant in the face of these black lines, easily suppressed and dragged away.
Although the scene was terrifying, Han Ning was filled with unspeakable excitement, and the spirit worms inside her were also cheering with joy!
I have an urge to see swallows return to their nests!
"Could it be...?"
She sprinted frantically, and amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of numerous servants and maids, she quickly arrived at the study in the manor. With mixed emotions, she slowly pushed open the door with a creak.
Her body trembled, and she slowly raised her gaze, afraid that it was just her imagination.
What came into view was still that statue, but this time...
In front of him stood a man in a white robe with a pattern of purple vines entwined around eyes, his back to him, playing with a toy in his hand.
No! That's not a toy!
Han Ning quickly recognized it as the Thousand-Eyed King, which was entangled by countless black spiritual threads and struggling. It had been reduced to the size of a fist, and its immense magical power, enough to make mortals tremble, surged forth, yet it could not spread even a fraction of its power.
The moment Han Ning saw him, her vision blurred. She took a deep breath, reached out to tidy her appearance, and although she tried her best to remain calm, her voice still trembled slightly when she spoke:
"Welcome back, Mr. Door!"
