Chapter 1305: Li Li Lingjing's Plight

~7 min read 1,320 words

In the dim hall, dark mist seemed to flow, while countless eerie whispers emanated from within, rustling and echoing throughout the hall; in such a place, even an ordinary Marquis-level powerhouse entering would be contaminated by that evil intent in an instant, subsequently losing their sanity.

At this moment, Spirit-Eye Nether King stood in the center of the hall, frowning slightly as he gazed at the bone-white flames appearing before him; on the other end of the flames, a blank face flickered in and out of view, brimming with eerie aura.

"The River of Realms Domain? So the plotting over there is finally about to commence? That Li Li Jingzhe has actually touched the Void Third Crown King realm; he truly has capability," Spirit-Eye Nether King murmured.

However, after pondering slightly, he still shook his head, lowered his gaze to busy himself with his current task, and said, "The River of Realms Domain is under your responsibility, having nothing to do with me; my current experimental subject is at the most critical moment, and I have no time for other places."

Hearing Spirit-Eye Nether King's refusal, Faceless Nether King let out a cold snort and said, "You won't even take this merit; you old thing have truly gone mad from researching your strange things."

A strange expression appeared on Spirit-Eye Nether King's face, and he chuckled, saying, "Gone mad? To the eyes of the world, aren't we people even more terrifying than demons?"

Faceless Nether King said, "I have discovered a very interesting young man over here; he is Li Li Jingzhe's grandson. If you do not come, do not regret it later when I succeed."

However, facing Faceless Nether King's temptation, Spirit-Eye Nether King was not moved at all, because what he was currently researching in his hands was the ultimate meaning he had pursued all along.

So now, let alone any merit, even if Faceless Nether King died in the River of Realms Domain, he would be too lazy to move.

"Do not waste time here; I am busy and have no time," thus, Spirit-Eye Nether King gave a clear refusal without hesitation.

"You!"

Faceless Nether King was somewhat angered, but he also understood he could not force Spirit-Eye Nether King; after all, their statuses were equal, and he could not order the other party, so he could only let out a cold snort, directly severing the connection, and immediately the bone-white flames slowly extinguished.

Originally, he still wanted to inform Spirit-Eye Nether King of the intelligence regarding the Primordial Seed, but given the other party's attitude, it seemed there was no need for that anymore.

The hall returned to coldness and dimness once more.

Spirit-Eye Nether King gazed at the place where the bone-white flames had vanished, but carelessly withdrew his gaze; then he turned around and walked toward the depths of the hall, where a huge black pool had appeared.

The pool was viscous and pitch-black, flowing with endless evil intent aura; endless bubbles constantly rose from it, and within the bubbles, some hideous, distorted faces were faintly visible.

Spirit-Eye Nether King looked at the center of the black pool, seeing a huge water sphere there; the water sphere was connected to the pool water, and boundless evil intent aura constantly surged into it.

Inside the water sphere was a curled-up, slender figure.

It was none other than Li Li Lingjing.

However, her appearance now had become somewhat strange; her upper body remained human-shaped, but her legs had turned into a snake tail covered in pitch-black scales; the snake tail swayed slowly unconsciously, coiling around her body.

That snake tail emitted an extremely intense cold, eerie, and ominous aura, making people shudder with fear.

On her snow-white skin, cyan-black snake scales appeared; simultaneously, a cyan-black pointed horn grew on her forehead, with spiral patterns upon it.

At this moment, Li Li Lingjing's eyes were tightly closed, as if she had fallen into some kind of slumber; her pretty face had become increasingly demonic, giving people a spine-chilling beauty.

Moreover, that pitch-black snake tail seemed not under Li Li Lingjing's control; the snake scales upon it occasionally stood on end, and distorted, eerie faces appeared on the scales, as if trying to break free and drill out from within.

The scales, like sharp blades, slashed across Li Li Lingjing's body, immediately leaving hideous wounds.

Whenever this happened, some pain would appear on her sleeping face.

Spirit-Eye Nether King watched this scene and said softly, "Hehe, truly crazy enough; though still so weak, you dared to actively swallow and absorb that sliver of will from the Lord of All Beings Demon King. Yet you have managed to endure this long, which proves that the 'Erosion-Spirit True Demon' I created possesses unimaginable potential!"

"As long as you can survive this trial, you will become even more perfect!"

"In the future, you might even become the Ultimate Thing!"

Fanaticism and intoxication gradually appeared in Spirit-Eye Nether King's eyes; Li Li Lingjing had brought him too many surprises, and all previous experimental subjects were incomplete compared to her.

"You will ultimately prove to the world that my path is the correct one."

"This is the Path of Unification!"

"Rest assured; although you are crazy, I like this craziness of yours, because only extreme craziness can walk that extreme path."

Spirit-Eye Nether King kept murmuring, then extended his withered palm; a meatball flowing with pitch-black blood appeared in his palm; the meatball was extremely eerie, with various hands and feet constantly extending from it, as if trying to break free from within.

Eerie, grating whispers filled with corrupting power emanated from it.

"To contend with the will of the Lord of All Beings Demon King, ordinary methods are insufficient, so I have refined the 'Alien Blood Fetus' for you; this is a supremely calamitous thing; even a Marquis-level powerhouse contaminated by it would have their sanity dissolved, but currently, you have no other path to choose."

Spirit-Eye Nether King extended his hand and threw the meatball in his hand into the pitch-black pool; the instant it made contact, the meatball melted away, as if turning into countless black insects surging toward the water sphere wrapping Li Li Lingjing.

The black insects drilled directly into Li Li Lingjing's pitch-black snake tail along the water sphere, immediately producing a gnawing sound.

"Li Li Lingjing, you must pull through; I have poured all my heart and blood into you."

"Your next awakening will only have two possibilities: one is being eroded by the will of the Lord of All Beings Demon King, turning into one of its puppet avatars, and at that time, I will have no choice but to destroy you."

"The other possibility is that you completely swallow and absorb that sliver of will from the Lord of All Beings Demon King, becoming an even more perfect existence."

Spirit-Eye Nether King stared fixedly at Li Li Lingjing's sleeping face, suddenly smiled eerily, and said, "Did you just hear that? The person Faceless Nether King mentioned should be that Li Luo you know, right?"

"He is truly unlucky; he actually got targeted by Faceless."

"Although Li Li Jingzhe is very strong, our plotting in the River of Realms Domain has been prepared for a long time; this time, he faces many dangers and few chances of survival."

"And once Li Li Jingzhe dies, that Li Luo will fall into Faceless's hands; at that time, it will truly be difficult even to die."

He muttered to himself for a long while, and finally slowly turned around, leaving this place.

And just after Spirit-Eye Nether King left, Li Li Lingjing, who had been sleeping all along, seemed to have her eyelids twitch slightly; then, one of her hair strands fell off, dropping into the pitch-black pool.

The hair strand wriggled, actually turning into a small pitch-black snake, merging into the darkness and disappearing without a trace.
