Chapter 150: Heaven's Punishment of Fate

The Evil Yin Spirit's vitality was tougher than Mu Yi imagined; though it appeared covered in wounds, it simply refused to fall.

At first he thought the dense forest was chosen as a seal because he couldn't beat this big guy, but now it seems maybe it couldn't be killed, so he reluctantly chose the seal.

The distance was too great; Mu Yi couldn't sense any changes in the Evil Yin Spirit, so he simply went closer to see what was going on with it.

Just a dungeon boss, isn't it a bit too hard to kill?

It definitely couldn't be an immortal existence; any involvement with this ability surpasses legend and reaches the divine level.

The moment he approached the Evil Yin Spirit, its scarlet gaze locked onto Mu Yi, and several tentacles swept down like dark clouds.

"Detected that the character is suffering from an unknown spell effect, conducting a perception check……"

"Check succeeded, you are immune to this confusion effect, but you still have to take the spell damage from this spell!"

Mu Yi felt his chest as if punched, his body slightly heavy, and his movements slowed a bit.

Unlike treasure chests, the flash color of chest items basically matches the quality of the dropped item.

However, the flash color when a boss-dropped package falls does not necessarily indicate the item's quality; it only shows that the dropped item is a relatively rare existence among boss drops.

Mu Yi closed his eyes, and the contamination detection constantly refreshing on his retina due to being too close to the Evil Yin Spirit's main body stopped at this moment.

"Bang!"

Mu Yi reached out and picked up the golden item package floating in midair.

With the blade intent's aid, the first strike, which was certain to be a critical hit, directly struck the Evil Yin Spirit.

Flying debris struck Mu Yi's body, the shield from his ring appeared, deflecting the debris.

"Roar!"

"Current giant beasts slain: 2/3!"

The Evil Yin Spirit's body was directly cleaved by Mu Yi into a huge wound, and foul-smelling liquid gushed out from the large gap like a fountain.

"Zongwang Prompt: You obtained the equipment 【Until Death Do Us Part】"

"You have slain the final boss: Evil Yin Spirit, gaining 40% dungeon progress."

Before Mu Yi could catch his breath, the tentacles above his head suddenly accelerated downward.

Mu Yi watched as the Evil Yin Spirit's corpse dissipated, and instead of settling, he picked up the items dropped by the Evil Yin Spirit's death.

——Time Confusion·Double Speed

Mu Yi felt the energy source within the Evil Yin Spirit and opened his eyes.

Blazing Ash Fire enveloped the Evil Yin Spirit and also Mu Yi, allowing Mu Yi to completely ignore the special cold emanating from the Evil Yin Spirit's surface.

"Current dungeon progress: 100%, already reached the highest clearance rating for this dungeon; proceed with settlement immediately?"

Instantly, a dazzling golden light flashed forth from the golden item package.

Mu Yi raised the Formation Blade, adjusted his breathing, made his whole body's muscles and inner qi undergo a strange resonance, focused all his will, and heavily swung the Formation Blade in his hand.

This combo attack seemed to drain much of the Evil Yin Spirit's strength, like its final death struggle, and then it fell into a silent state.

——Ten Thousand Armies Take Head

But this had little effect on Mu Yi and did not interfere with his actions.

Each time it looked like it was about to die, yet it never actually died, as if something were holding on to its last breath.

But within the Evil Yin Spirit's body there seemed to be a channel, constantly emanating energy; it is precisely this energy that sustains the Evil Yin Spirit's survival and allows it to burst forth with power after a period of time.

"Crack!"

"Found it!"

Now that the weak point has been found, the rest is simple.

Mu Yi placed his hand on the Evil Yin Spirit's body, and a freezing, twisting force surged toward him, as terrifying as the icy current that freezes all life in the polar regions, leaving him breathless.

This spell attack actually bypassed his surface shield directly.

But Mu Yi did not take it lightly; as early as fifteen minutes before, he had seen this scene more than once.

The Evil Yin Spirit's body emitted a huge sound under the Formation Blade's chop, the Formation Blade struck its energy source without obstruction, and a sound like shattering glass rang out.

Mu Yi burst forth his inner qi, time slowed, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, and narrowly dodged the Evil Yin Spirit's tentacle attack.

"You obtained the background specialty 【Giant Beast Hunter】 information!"

At the spot where the Evil Yin Spirit's body vanished, a golden item package floated above.

With Mu Yi's perception aided by Blazing Ash Fire, the Evil Yin Spirit's massive body already had no vitality left, like an empty shell; Cao Ming and the Asura Warriors had indeed exhausted its vitality completely.

With a mournful cry, the Evil Yin Spirit's body collapsed, its life‑sustaining energy source shattered, and the last of its vitality faded away.

Thus the Evil Yin Spirit appeared to have run out of fuel, yet it could always muster a final flicker.

The Evil Yin Spirit's skin was extraordinarily tough, yet Mu Yi's palm easily pressed a large dent into it.

In the dazzling golden light, Mu Yi glanced at the prompt message popping up on his retina.

The scarlet light flickering in its eyes gradually faded, and the traces of life dissipated from its body.

Besides this equipment, there is also a damaged parchment that records intermittently.

Arisier, I will always be by your side, even if it's death, even if evil contaminates you, but you are still the Arisier I deeply love...

I will surely rescue you from evil...

Mu Yi looked at the parchment, fell into silence, he had a premonition that the knight previously controlled by that wizard must be the owner of the parchment.

It's a pity he failed...

With a sigh, Mu Yi walked toward the Tree Spirit Elder.

Warrior, you've returned, I feel the evil power waning, you've done well, give me the item, I will lend you a hand!

The weak Tree Spirit Elder sensed Mu Yi's aura, wearily opened his eyes to look at Mu Yi.

No need, for I have already purified the evil shade! Mu Yi informed the Tree Spirit Elder who had been guarding the seal of the victory.

Has it already succeeded?

What are you planning to do next? Mu Yi looked at the Tree Spirit Elder, as if in an instant the other had regained vitality.

It's time to let this forest regain its former vitality! The Tree Spirit Elder's voice was calm and joyful.

Thank you, warrior! It's you who gave this forest hope again!

The Tree Spirit Elder handed a leaf to Mu Yi using a branch.

This is the forest's gift to you!

Returning to the main world, Mu Yi chose to settle the dungeon:

Settlement complete, now transmitting character exit from dungeon...

The familiar dizziness...

When Mu Yi woke up, his field of view had returned to the familiar Kunlun Mountain.

Looking at the dungeon's gains, Mu Yi was somewhat dissatisfied; no wonder later on, there were few lone wolves, everyone preferred to team up for campaigns, battles and such.

This time he could be said to have blown through the dungeon beyond expectations, yet the rewards were still moving; if not for his extreme-player nature, he'd likely be exhausted and even fail to reach a third of a small team's haul.

At least, last time he helped Gui Naifen and company, the gains were at least three times this time's, and he also gained their friendship; no matter how you look at it, it's more promising than being a lone wolf.

This gap is truly huge; if not truly unable to cooperate with others, one would likely be forced to team up.

Brewing a pot of Silver Moon Red Tea, Mu Yi sat down leisurely; the tea's flavor is top-notch, he likes it.

The moment of drinking tea brings an indescribable sense of relaxation.

While sipping tea and laying out his gains, although the Zongwang Disaster Coins and Universal Experience are so-so, this gold-quality equipment should be decent.

"Do you want to use a Fate Card?"

"Yes!"

In an instant, the Fate Card spun upward into the air, radiating dazzling light, then fell back into Mu Yi's hand.

"You used a Fate Card and triggered a random event: Heavenly Punishment"

"Heavenly Punishment: The power of fate will link to the Plane's collective consciousness, mark you as the world's enemy, and mete out heavenly punishment!"

"Damn!"

Mu Yi looked at the message appearing on the prompt and instantly felt disaster looming.

At this moment atop Kunlun Mountain, the once bright sky suddenly darkened, and massive storm clouds gathered in the heavens.

Even more terrifying, a dreadful celestial might kept coalescing within, its target fixed on Mu Yi.

Just as Mu Yi planned to retreat into the realm of reincarnation to escape, a vague consciousness surfaced in Mu Yi's mind.

Mu Yi froze for a moment, then waved a hand; a bolt of lightning descended onto Mu Yi, yet Mu Yi remained as if nothing had happened.

The storm clouds dispersed, and the sky brightened once more.

"Zongwang Prompt: You have gained 3 points of divinity!"

"That scared me to death!"

Mu Yi lifted his teacup and drank it in one gulp; just a moment ago he thought he would truly be struck by lightning.

He almost forgot, this is his own domain; while the Heavenly Dao sleeps, he is the steward of this realm.

The Fate Card connects to the world's collective consciousness, using divinity to have the world strike itself with heavenly thunder; how is that any different from having Guan Er Ye chop Liu Bei?

Thus Mu Yi consented to the Fate Card's link, went through the procedure, and directly claimed all the divinity the Fate Card offered for purchase.

He intends to use the divinity to construct the Heavenly Dao within the Six Paths of reincarnation, instantly completing one-third of the progress.

As a result, he now has a total of six points of divinity.

Truly a case of blessings and curses intertwined; he didn't expect to gain a blessing from misfortune.

For a Legend, it's considered a precious thing, and he didn't expect to obtain it so easily.

Indeed, granting rewards on one's own domain is always a decision that never fails.

A delighted Mu Yi casually opened the clearance treasure chest.

"You have obtained an Exotic Item: Rare Treasure Seed."

Rare Treasure Seed:

Item Level: 10
