Chapter 251
As purple lightning overturned the vault of heaven, a giant eyeball opened beneath Li Cheng and the others.
Countless black arms stretched out from that eyeball, reaching for the Abyss souls drifting in the sky.
These Demon Race members who should have returned to the Abyss finally felt true death.
They cried, they struggled, they begged for mercy.
But it was all futile.
In despair, they turned into nourishment for Li Cheng's advancement.
【You used fifty-two thousand three hundred and twelve Demon Race members as nourishment to perform the Regeneration Ritual. As the ritual's initiator, you gained three million one hundred twenty thousand shares of Regeneration Power, which has already reached the maximum you can currently hold.】
As other patrons of the ritual, Regina, Mu, Karenina, Setsuna, and others who were simultaneously at the Array Eye gained the remaining one million seven hundred thousand shares of Regeneration Power.
Hearing the system's voice, Li Cheng nodded in satisfaction.
His guess was indeed correct: just like Pain Power, Witch's Power also had divisions of rank.
The stage he was currently at could only hold a limited amount of Regeneration Power.
But he really hadn't expected that these tens of thousands of Demon Race members could actually provide nearly five million shares of Regeneration Power.
You know, back in the City of Deception, he had ravaged an entire city and only gotten around one million shares.
But after thinking about it a little, he roughly understood.
These Demon Race members weren't ordinary Demon Race members; they were elites among elites of the Wrath Father God Domain, with Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank too numerous to count, and Ninth Rank and Tenth Rank not rare at all.
An army like this, if one wanted to defeat it by ordinary means, who knew how difficult it would be.
Only someone like him, using Hengshui Camp's abstract strategy, could annihilate them all.
Thinking about it this way, the reward of five million shares of Regeneration Power was indeed reasonable.
Just then, the system's voice rang out again.
【The amount of Regeneration Power you possess has reached your maximum. Your Witch Authority·Regeneration can advance to the next stage.】
【You can advance at any time.】
"Boss, boss, I, I feel power, Li... Abyss God General Nu Bao Boss!"
Before Li Cheng could carefully examine the panel after advancing, Mu started shouting.
His whole head of golden hair stood on end, fists clenched, holding a horse stance and roaring continuously, acting like a Super Saiyan.
"Oh my god, I, unbelievable, I'm Ninth Rank, I'm Ninth Rank! How, how is this possible!"
Tears welled in his eyes, moved until his face was all scrunched up.
"Damn, I'm stronger than my old man now, Boss, this time, I can use Seven Matches Wolf to spank my old man's butt!"
Li Cheng: "......"
What, bro, is that all your ambition is? Whatever you say, you should at least spank your grandfather too! "Boss!" Mu suddenly knelt on one knee and performed a knight's salute: "I... Priest, I'm completely convinced! I'm not good with words, so I won't say more!"
"Anyway, from now on, whoever you tell me to torture, I'll torture them, guaranteed to make them know what true Birth is!"
Tianming Continent, the strong are revered.
In this world on the brink of shattering, let alone Ninth Rank powerhouses, even Eighth Rank powerhouses are rare species that all forces want to find ways to support.
Big figures who command one side.
Such high status also proves how difficult cultivation is in the human world.
But now, he, Mu, at only eighteen years old, had become a Ninth Rank powerhouse.
This kind of thing was simply unheard of and unseen!
And all of this was because of Li Cheng!
To be honest, when Mu came to this trial with Li Cheng, he had guessed that Boss Li Cheng wouldn't screw him over, and following him would definitely bring good results.
But he never expected that this juice would taste so good, so sweet!
Rising from Third Rank to Ninth Rank in one breath!
If his old man saw this, he'd think he was the reincarnation of an ancestor! Huh, wait, ancestor reincarnation? Suddenly, many bold ideas flashed through Mu's mind.
Ancestor reincarnation—just hearing it sounds impressive; he could totally use this material to make up a story and show off in his family!
But he always felt something was missing...
If it was ancestor reincarnation, although the xuanhuan vibe was strong, the religious flavor wasn't heavy enough...
Hey, got it!
Mu looked at Li Cheng, his eyes lighting up.
In this story, he was the ancestor reincarnation, and Boss Li Cheng was the Divine Envoy who guided his reincarnation!
Boss Li Cheng was a Divine Envoy appointed by the Mother Goddess of Precepts, caring for the world and unable to bear the suffering of all living beings, so he summoned me, this genius, back from the Underworld, vowing to take everything back! Damn, this story has something to it.
Let's do it! Must record this in the diary, and spread it widely when we get back! Hmm, also, regarding Boss Li Cheng's identity, it needs to be designed well...
It has to be extremely impressive.
The more Mu thought about it, the more he felt it had potential, the more he felt it was awesome, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"What are you smiling at?" Li Cheng furrowed his brow.
"Cough cough, Boss, don't worry, this time, let you see the Chuunibyou secret art I recently learned from you." Mu said confidently.
Li Cheng:??? What is this...
"Abyss God General Nu Bao Brother!"
Before he could ask further, only a cooing whimper was heard, and Pink Hair jumped onto Li Cheng the moment she was born, hanging on his neck:
"You don't know, Karenina was just scared to death!"
Not feeling that you had a bit of fear at all...
"It's true!" Karenina protested: "I thought you weren't extreme enough, and didn't slaughter all those Demon Race members!"
So what you're afraid of is that I wasn't extreme enough, right...
"Fortunately, Brother Rage Explosion, you still kept your true heart, letting the light shine upon the Abyss!" Karenina's face was flushed red, looking extremely happy.
"Everything else is fine, but light shining upon the Abyss, what kind of ghost is that?" Regina looked doubtfully at the pink-haired birth.
Although Master just now did something quite terrifying, one person's combat record comparing to an entire army... but no matter how you say it, it still has nothing to do with light, right?
"Hehe, as everyone knows, killing all, is also a kind of light." Karenina smiled sweetly.
Regina: (;;) "Hehe." Karenina was very happy today.
Brother Li Cheng has established such world-shaking merit, he will surely become famous throughout the world, known to all.
After today, whether it is Full Moon Academy, or Tianming Divine Court, even those border strongholds, will all know, there is a youth named Li Cheng, single-handedly, without a single soldier, only bringing one red-faced confidante, one golden-haired loyal dog, destroyed the Wrath Father God Domain's Full Territory.
At that time, what kind of waves will he stir up, and what kind of blessing will he obtain? Thinking of these, Karenina's heart surged with passion.
And this is still not the most exciting thing for her.
The most exciting, is still her strength's improvement.
This time, she also directly upgraded from Third Rank to Ninth Rank.
Although the strength was forcibly raised by the Bu Qi Zhi Ren, incomparable to those true Ninth Rank Strong Ones, but no matter what, she has completely entered the ranks of the Continent's Strong Ones.
Before, seeing those women surrounding Brother Li Cheng, although she didn't say it with her mouth, the little birth still felt inferior in her heart.
Although in terms of birth she far surpasses those women, very matching Li Cheng, but strength was still far apart from them, unable to raise her head.
Now it's good, strength has also come up.
This time, she can completely stand righteously by Brother Li Cheng's side.
In the future, she will manage these women for Brother Li Cheng, whoever doesn't listen, she will torture them~ Thinking here, Karenina also smiled beautifully.
Huh, why say 'also'?
"Master." Regina clenched her fist, knelt on one knee, lowered her head devoutly: "Many thanks to you."
"Thank me? Why thank me?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.
This woman, even if I freed her from a terrifying fate, never said a word of thanks, only making humming, slurping vulgar sounds.
Instead now, thanking me...
"Master, you avenged those innocent people who died wrongfully inside the tents." Regina took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled: "Back then, I wanted to save them, but had no ability, could only watch them be tortured to death, be slaughtered."
"I originally thought, these people's vengeance would never be repaid, yet didn't expect, Master you appeared."
"On behalf of these innocent wrongfully dead people, on behalf of those common people who died under the Demon Race's erosion, all living beings under heaven, I thank Master."
Speaking, she used her cavalry lance to prop the ground, devoutly buried her head, closed her eyes.
The knight's way she believed in since childhood, made her pity those tragic tragedies beyond human endurance.
Especially coming to Wrath Father God Domain, this period of being undercover.
She even more deeply understood, these Demon Race, caused how many families' destruction.
But these people's deaths, in those big shots' eyes, had no meaning whatsoever.
No one would avenge them, even more no one would care about their lives.
Except Li Cheng.
He not only sent all those surviving girls inside the tents back to his own garrison to raise them, taught them survival skills.
Also in one breath, sent all these Demon Race down to Di Yu.
Although not saying it with mouth, but if not for avenging those dead innocent people, why would he expend so much thought, one person challenging a massive army? "For all living beings under heaven, for all sorrows I have seen, I thank you, Master."
"Cough cough..."
Li Cheng dry coughed once, scratched his face, somewhat embarrassed.
He killed these Demon Race, just to grind experience, do tasks.
Saving those women, also just wanted to cultivate them into combat power for clearing...
Didn't have Regina's such noble thoughts.
"Awoo~ Sister Regina, you said it too well! That's right, my Master, is exactly such a hero who worries for the country and people, ribbit!"
Shana still maintaining Great Love Magic Dog form, slipped to Regina's side, dog tongue wildly licking her face.
"Hey hey hey, Shana, stop licking, so itchy, hehe!"
The female knight just now still devout posture, one second broken, started giggling laughing.
Fear of tickling, is one of Regina's moe points.
"Hehe." Li Cheng was also amused, this stupid plan Shana, really interesting.
After this battle, female knight Regina, was strengthened to Tenth Stage, Shana reached Ninth Rank, both's improvements very large, also leaped to become Tianming Continent's supreme Strong Ones. Plus Golden Hair and Pink Hair Birth, can say, Li Cheng this time brought into Secret Realm small group, strength improvement speed, all beyond ordinary people's imagination.
One trial, from Third Rank, Fourth Rank, became Ninth Rank Tenth Rank, this kind of thing, even the boldest myth legend, wouldn't dare write, right?
Speaking of, Shana after eating this wave of Bu Qi Zhi Ren, seems to have grown another circle, current body size is very matching with self now.
As own mount, very suitable. Self in future can also be dog knight.
Daytime, ride Shana, fight with enemies.
Nighttime, take Shana, as enemy fight.
Perfect.
He was just thinking wildly, other side, inside Ominous Blade's Half-Demon garrison.
A group of girls wearing black tight training clothes, holding sharp swords, under Instructor's lead, chopping straw men in front.
Their movements swift and standard, eyes cold and sharp, as if facing not straw men, but father-killing enemies.
Fact also indeed so, they are all those girls Li Cheng saved that day in Hengshui First Camp.
Girls who lost relatives, became Ominous Blade's members, with Li Cheng's tools as goal, began training.
"Tap tap tap" footsteps resounded, Night Sparrow walked out from shadows.
Girls hurriedly stopped training in hands, respectfully looked at her.
Ye Que nodded expressionlessly and said softly, "Your hatred should be let go."
"The Demon Race who killed your relatives have all been annihilated by Mister Buxi, and the Wrath Father God Domain where they are buried has also been toppled."
The voice was not loud, but entering these girls' ears, it was like a giant hammer, fiercely smashing against their heart defenses.
They collapsed to the ground uncontrollably, the sorrow covered beneath their cold exteriors these days exploding in an instant.
Sobbing sounds rose and fell continuously on the training ground.
"Mister Buxi, thank you, thank you……"
"I will use my whole life to repay your kindness."
"Your kindness, even if I give everything, I cannot repay, wuwuwu……"
"Father, Mother, your vengeance, Mister Buxi has avenged, wuwuwu, you can rest assured and go…… Please shelter Mister Buxi in heaven, safe and smooth for a lifetime."
And among these weeping girls, a small-statured, innocent-looking little girl stood up.
She clenched her fists, walked to Ye Que's front, stubbornly raised her head: "I want to train following you."
"Audacious!" The Instructor frowned, gathered his breath: "Do you know who you are speaking to?"
The Ominous Blade's internal hierarchy is strict; such an overstepping action is undoubtedly a usurpation of the rules.
According to regulations, she is to be stripped of clothes, placed under the scorching sun to bake for a day, as punishment.
The girl was startled, retreated half a step, her eyes filled with mist, but she still resolutely stepped that step back, stubbornly pursing her lips.
Ye Que waved her hand, coldly looked at the girl: "Speak, why?"
"I want to become Mister Buxi's sword, to sever everything for him, to repay his kindness." The girl said forcefully.
"If that's the case, you can just train here."
"No, not enough, I want to become a sword as sharp as you."
"Me? A sword? Hehe." Ye Que rarely laughed: "I am not any sword, I am a tool, a tool Mister Buxi can discard at any time, do you understand?"
"If that's the case, I also want to become a tool!" The girl clenched both fists, suddenly let out a loud roar.
"Hehe, interesting, then fine, I'll satisfy you." Ye Que raised her eyebrows with bad taste, then snapped her fingers.
The tight suit on the girl's body instantly shattered, the initially formed rabbits lightly bounced, large patches of snow-white exposed in the air.
The other girls gasped, but she didn't move at all, just stood straight, clenching her fists.
"Hm? You have no shame?" Ye Que was somewhat surprised.
"That kind of thing, from the day I came here, I discarded all of it." The girl shook her head: "To become his tool, that kind of boring thing is not needed."
"Hehe, good material." Ye Que narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "Good, then from today, you follow me, hmm, your name is……"
"Youqing, my name is Youqing."
"No, your name is not this." Ye Que smiled: "From today, your name is also Ye Que, Ye Que Number 17, and I am your teacher, Ye Que Number 1."
"Ye Que Number 17……" The girl murmured to herself.
"Go, new tool, I still need to give you a new face." Ye Que laughed and walked toward the shadows.
The naked Number 17 followed her, met her seniors.
Only then did she discover, these seniors' faces, all were identical to Ye Que Number 1.
"I said it, we are Big Boss's use-and-discard tools." Ye Que Number 1 smiled at her: "Naturally cannot let him produce any scruples or sympathy."
"So, the best method is to manufacture an identity that will never die."
"But Ye Que are also Mortals, even with Master's Divine Power help, they still fail missions, still get captured, still die."
"So, we came up with this method, as long as the old Ye Que Number 1 dies, a new one will take her place. That way, in Big Boss's eyes, Ye Que will never die."
"She is a useful tool, a tool that will never die."
"Understand?"
"I……" Number 17 stared blankly at Ye Que Number 1, until this moment, she finally realized, within these two words 'tool', what kind of power was contained.
"Can I ask, which Number 1 are you?"
"The 4th." Ye Que Number 1 answered: "During the previous assassination of the Wrath Father God, the Number 1 at that time, as well as the original Number 2 and Number 3 who were to inherit her, all died in the mission."
"I am Number 4, which is the current Number 1."
"Understood." Number 17 nodded, clenched her fists tight.
"One day, I will also die, and my power will be inherited onto the next Number 1's body." Ye Que said softly: "And you are the same, someday, you will die as Ye Que."
"But your death, no one will grieve, no one will mourn, not even anyone will remember."
"This is Ye Que, this, is the meaning of tool."
"The road we walk is a Shura Road."
"If you can accept, stay, if you cannot accept, then clear your memories, let you roll back to where you belong."
"Now, decide? Live as Youqing, or as Ye Que Number 17, discard everything of the past."
"I……" The girl took a deep breath, raised her face, revealed a splendid smile: "Accept Ye Que's fate."
"I, want to become that Adult's tool."
"No regrets?"
"No regrets."
"Good, welcome your joining, Number 17."
Speaking, Ye Que raised her hand, injected the newly obtained portion of Bu Qi Zhi Ren into the girl's brow center: "Then, give you a gift."
Number 1 who had always been lurking in Big Boss's shadow, naturally also received the Regeneration Ritual's favor.
These powers will always circulate and inherit within Ye Que, guarantee that when Big Boss needs to use them, they can be taken at any time.
They are the Sword of the Unknown, they are nameless heroes, they are tools that discarded everything.
They,
It is the Night Sparrow.
…………
On the other side, inside Full Moon Academy.
Miss Ratania was hugging a bottle of Red Grape Wine, lying asleep on the bed that had transformed into Ruins, snoring loudly.
"Hehehe, Li Cheng, my good disciple, you smell so nice, hehehe~"
Drool slid down her Mouth Corner; her pajamas, a size too small, fundamentally unable to Wrap her bloated body, had been lifted up by her, revealing a Cute navel, rising and falling with each Breathing.
Because there was No Money to buy curtains, the fair Moonlight shone on Tata's face, causing her to unconsciously Frown, and open her eyes in a daze.
"Hate, hateful, so bright, hateful Moon, won't let me sleep!"
"Ahhhhh, you're angering me to death, I was playing with my disciple! Woken up by you, this damn Moon!"
She angrily jumped onto the only intact table in the room, pointing at the Moon, burping and Scolding vulgarly:
"Get down here for me, if you have the guts get down here, let's see if I don't Clean Up you! Damn it!"
"How about this, I'll Give you an Illumination Technique, let you climb up to the Moon along it and do her?" Crimson True Ancestor Appeared behind Ratania, saying leisurely.
"Huh? Ancestor, you're a Fake Corpse again?" Ratania looked at her Confusedly, then Immediately thought for a moment, and shook her head:
"That won't work, what if I climb halfway and you turn off the Illumination Technique, wouldn't I fall to my death?"
Crimson True Ancestor: ……
"Hmph, don't think I don't know, you this bad Ancestor, just want to snatch Li Cheng from me!"
Crimson True Ancestor: ……
"Still want to use my body, and my good disciple, to do that that... you, you, you have no shame!"
Crimson True Ancestor: ……
"A piece of trash that can't be propped up on the Wall." Crimson True Ancestor's Mouth Corner Twitched: "Hey, I ask you, how many times have you challenged the Full Moon Queen recently?"
"Also, also not many, just fifty-something times, burp~" Ratania burped.
"That's indeed not many... my ass!" Crimson True Ancestor couldn't hold it in: "Li Cheng only went out for a little over a month total, that averages to you challenging more than once a day!"
"Hmph, only, As Long As I challenge enough times, ex, exhaust can exhaust her to death too!" Ratania raised the wine Bottle, fiercely striking a Victory pose:
"Want to snatch my disciple from me, she the Full Moon Queen, no way!"
"Sigh, you a Seventh Rank, she a Half-step Demigod..." Crimson True Ancestor Covered her face: "If not for her giving Li Cheng face, she'd probably have Cleaned Up the sect long ago."
"Forget it, I didn't come to chat about family matters." Shook her head, she spoke again: "Ratania, now then, I'll Give you the Power/Strength that should be Given to you."
"After having this Power/Strength, you'll more or less also reach Tenth Rank."
"What? I reach Tenth Rank? Real or Fake?" Ratania sobered up more than half instantly.
"Of course, but then, you have to promise me one Requirement." Crimson True Ancestor Thought of Li Cheng, Mouth Corner unconsciously curving upward...
