Chapter 164: Top-Tier Promotion to Sequence Six

A touch of pure white in the scarlet, filthy world; the contrast brought by that extreme purity.

For anyone, it was extremely lethal.

The most powerful "Charm Technique" in the world would pale in comparison.

Even with Li Yu's strong resistance characteristics, he still fell for it at this time.

"Big Brother!"

When these three words entered his ears.

When that weak, pitiful, and exceptionally beautiful little face appeared, and that snow-white little hand reached out, signaling him to hold it.

The complex desires in Li Yu's mind reached their peak; subconsciously, he wanted to respond, to reach out both hands and hold the weak girl in his arms.

At the same time, there was astonishing movement outside, coming from Hong Dou, the mechanical maid.

In Li Yu's eyes, it was filthy scarlet and a pure white girl!

But in Hong Dou's eyes, it was her own master, facing a vortex-shaped mass of filthy flesh, revealing a perverted expression like a stalker.

His face was full of possessiveness.

At the same time, he was reaching out his hands, wanting to pull that filthy flesh into his arms. Even worse, Li Yu was trying to take off his clothes, desire rampant in his eyes; the scene could be described as bizarre and lewd.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

"Detected that the Master is in an abnormal state; contamination and corruption indices have exceeded the standard by hundreds of times."

"Activate the master-servant contract to forcibly help the Master break free."

As the mechanical sound resounded, Hong Dou's chain-saw sword had already been drawn.

Subsequently, it was a bloody scene.

Without even a breath of hesitation, Li Yu's arms were forcibly chopped off by Hong Dou.

This indeed stopped Li Yu from touching the flesh, but he did not wake up.

Clearly, the contamination was happening at the spiritual level.

Physical damage had no great effect on this, because the intense pain caused by the severed arms could not be transmitted over, let alone wake Li Yu up.

In fact, there wasn't even intense pain, because Li Yu's body was also inhumanly monstrous.

The moment that pair of arms was chopped off, they actually supported themselves as they hit the ground, and the left and right hands each actively reattached themselves.

Demon Body!

Unless ground into meat paste, most of the organs on Li Yu's body could maintain activity after being chopped off and would actively return to the main body.

Moreover, they could be reconnected without obstruction.

This monstrous ability was definitely not something a mere Sequence Seven 【Master of Alchemy】 could possess.

This also caused Hong Dou difficulty in rescuing Li Yu.

She was, after all, a mechanical maid; she could not intervene at the heart-soul level.

But she had other secret methods.

One could hear that there was still a mechanical sound, only it was incomparably rare.

The voice actually carried a hint of hesitation, and on her mechanical fox face, a flush of shyness and hesitation appeared "vividly" for the first time.

"Forcible interruption of contamination via physical damage failed."

"According to the master-servant contract, when purification of contamination and interruption of the corruption process cannot be achieved, any other method can be chosen, as long as the final result is survival."

"According to evaluation and deduction, if the 【Spirit Replenishment Mode】 is activated, there is an 80% probability of forcibly making the Master enter a refractory period where desires cannot be bred by draining all of the Master's remaining energy in a short time. During the spirit replenishment process, warnings can also be sent into the depths of the Master's mind..."

As this plan began to brew, Hong Dou chased the two little things directly out of the viewing secret room.

And she herself began to prepare to do something.

Li Yu did not know about the sudden change outside.

At this moment, he only felt it was close; he had almost really fallen for it.

He was completely unable to resist the full-force charm from another Yi Ge!

In fact, she was far more terrifying than "Yi Ge" herself.

Yi Ge's exterior was that of an ancient lady, an eerie, mysterious, and gentle sister.

While the one before him was a "Pure White Witch" whose contrast reached its peak.

There was no man—no, it was everyone.

Men, women, old, and young, there was no difference.

All were unable to resist the impact brought by the only purity in that filthy world.

If it were another practitioner of the Spirit Venerable path, even if they were Sequence Five, they wouldn't be able to hold on at all.

And once they fell for it, embraced, and united, they would be thoroughly eaten—eaten in a double sense, without even a scrap left. This was the price Yi Ge spoke of.

Of course, Li Yu would be fine; that last trace of his reason was eternally locked.

Just as he became thoroughly insane and tried to possess the other party, he suddenly woke up.

Suddenly, he changed.

From a body of flesh and blood, he instantly transformed into a flame spirit demon resembling a furnace.

A strange flame called "Pill Fire" gushed out infinitely.

Immediately, Li Yu was seen stepping forward, embracing the "Yi Ge" who had nowhere to escape, and began to incinerate.

As a filthy, corrupted version of Yi Ge, this filth did not fear any damage, including dismemberment.

Even burning by fire, she was not afraid.

But the Pill Fire Furnace that Li Yu refined by stealing the divine power of the True God 【Lord of the Furnace】 was different from the power of most extraordinary flames; it was ridiculously powerful.

Pure White Yi Ge began to be scorched.

Even at this time, she still did not reveal her original form, but instead, bearing the charred black all over her body, she cried out incomparably weakly and pitifully: "Big Brother... I'm in so much pain..."

Every word and every sentence was soul-stirring.

Even the most heartless person would find it difficult not to be moved.

Li Yu also almost lost himself again, until he released the 【Consumption Technique】 outside the Pill Fire.

The next moment, he almost vomited.

The Food God's Blood Tongue gave him an incomparably keen sense of smell and taste, but the side effect was being overly sensitive.

As that trace of scorched meat aroma drilled into his nose, Li Yu couldn't describe what kind of taste he had just sampled.

He only felt nauseous and vomited, and intense malice and killing intent arose, but soon a strong sweetness surged, which then turned into bitterness... Over and over again, Li Yu seemed to be suffering a torture called the cycle of nausea.

When he woke up, there was nothing in his arms.

Opening his eyes, what he saw was Hong Dou pouncing over.

And in the process, her body was constantly undergoing various changes; clearly, that high-level bionic skin was taking effect.

Just as it was about to settle on the "plump imperial sister" option, Hong Dou suddenly realized that Li Yu had already woken up.

And that filthy mass of flesh had also been burned to nothingness.

So the next moment!

Her changes jumped forward incomparably smoothly, turning into a small, exquisite mechanical fox, leaping onto Li Yu's shoulder.

This scene happened too fast, and Li Yu couldn't help but be stunned.

But soon, he guessed something.

"Hmm?"

"Has Hong Dou's intelligence recovered to this extent? Did she see me fall into contamination and therefore intend to use the 【Spirit Replenishment Mode】 to forcibly connect with my heart and soul...?"

"Ugh!"

Li Yu didn't have time to ponder more, and suddenly looked up.

Subsequently, he vomited a drop of black water the size of a thumb, covered in vortex patterns, which was just right to be loaded into the medicine gourd he summoned with a thought. Before he plugged the gourd, fragrance drifted out from inside.

In an instant!

The entire Immortal Castle was filled with this exotic fragrance.

Even the "Outer Realm Flame Essence" was attracted and flew over.

Although it was something he vomited out himself, when Li Yu smelled the exotic fragrance at this time, a look of horror also appeared on his face.

"It's done?"

"This is the first medicinal primer: the divine essence of the Vortex God."

"It's hard to imagine that this fragrance, which charms all living things, actually comes from a mass of extremely filthy and bloody flesh... Inside, there is clearly extremely evil and terrifying contamination, yet it disguised itself as the most wonderful perfume in the world?"

"If I dripped it on myself, it would be enough to charm and control the crowd of at least a few market towns, right?"

"However, this kind of charm is really too easy to lose control. In less than a few breaths, the people controlled by the fragrance would be unable to help but want to eat me alive."

Not knowing what Li Yu thought of, he suddenly shivered.

=9+Shu_ba

And this interlude also meant he didn't mention the naked scene he saw when he woke up.

In fact, he had no time to care about it anymore.

The first medicinal primer was refined!

At this time, Li Yu had already vaguely realized what kind of existence the Spirit Venerable path Sequence Six 【Daoist Physician】 was.

"This sequence requires the practitioner to use Pill Fire and Consumption to refine and decompose at least three types of divine contaminants with high concentrations."

"This number is not the key; it's just a minimum."

"The real purpose: to let the practitioner obtain strong resistance to divine contamination and decomposition ability during this process... As the saying goes, long illness makes a doctor. Once achieved, the practitioner of this sequence naturally possesses the ability to heal most injuries and diseases caused by divine contamination."

"In the world ruled by gods, divinity can indeed be called 'Dao'."

"That is to say!"

"After possessing resistance and the power of decomposition and healing, one is a Daoist Physician?"

"I seem to already have it? It's just lacking a bit of experience."

While thinking, Li Yu also felt his own difference.

He didn't know if there were any other practitioners of the Spirit Venerable path in this world.

Even if there were, it would probably be very difficult to compare with him.

The Stealing Furnace and the divine power of the two Lords of Myriad Changes sublimated and metamorphosed his Pill Fire and Consumption, actually already allowing him to possess the power of a Daoist Physician in advance.

This is the power of a top-tier promotion!

There is no better way in this world to close or even surpass those genius God-Chosen.

Of course, Li Yu didn't intend to omit the necessary procedures.

So the next moment, without the slightest delay, Li Yu grabbed the Outer Realm Flame Essence attracted by the fragrance.

Because this little thing had eaten the Pill Fire Li Yu added ingredients to, it was quite obedient to this strange human.

Therefore, after receiving Li Yu's request.

It didn't hesitate to launch a prayer to the "Lord of the Furnace" again.

But this time, it wasn't begging to fight.

It was begging its own True God to bestow an oddity containing divine contamination, the higher the concentration the better, but it couldn't be high enough to kill a high-sequence human practitioner.

Perhaps because the little thing at this coordinate had let Him experience the pleasure of bullying the Lord of Myriad Changes, there was still a response this time, which shouldn't have been there.

During the process, Li Yu also used the Nong Shen technique and high inspiration to watch from the side.

He could clearly feel the spiritual response of the Lord of the Furnace on the other side, which also stagnated after feeling the request.

Clearly, He hadn't expected!

That there would be a believer or dependent asking for contamination.

Usually, everyone would avoid it as if avoiding a plague.

But the spiritual response wouldn't have extra thoughts; it was already a grace that the True God was willing to respond, so He gave it directly.

Using this Outer Realm Flame Essence as a "medium," one could see that a mutation suddenly occurred in its living flame-like shell.

A mass of filth the size of an infant's head, shaped like a burning sun, split off.

Its dark orange surface was covered with pitch-black spots and countless cracks.

Under the cracks was madness-decaying divinity and malice that burned everything.

When this object descended, Li Yu seemed to hear one roar of a True God after another:

Living things and the world!

All must be burned away.

Everything must be incinerated by the supreme flame and buried in the endless embers.

"So, this is the form of the Lord of the Furnace after complete corruption?"

"Once He loses control, He will destroy the world?"

Li Yu also didn't expect that a prayer would allow him to glimpse another secret.

At the eye membrane, the sixteenth truth bubble was directly fully charged, and the seventeenth flickered to continue.

Li Yu didn't have time to be happy about his truth bubbles, having a reserve of three.

Taking advantage of the fact that the "decaying little sun" hadn't erupted with power, he directly pounced on it and unceremoniously stuffed it into his Pill Fire Furnace.

Pill Fire and Consumption techniques were directly activated.

Before long!

Li Yu woke up again, and then vomited a drop of magma-like fire-red liquid.

What gushed out this time wasn't fragrance, but a kind of dry-heat Qi; as long as it saw a spark, it would be enough to turn the place into a volcanic eruption.

Looking at the two medicinal primers he had refined, Li Yu also felt that the secret medicine this time was formulated a bit out of control.

Saying it was top-tier, it seemed to be more than that; it had completely exceeded it.

The predecessors of the past!

Or other Master of Alchemy who might exist elsewhere in this world, it was estimated that to promote to 【Daoist Physician】, they would most likely use some secret methods to steal some chaotic eggs of evil gods.

Like Li Yu, personally or indirectly asking the "Evil God Himself," was probably the first of its kind.

The Daoist Physician Secret Medicine formulated in this way!

After eating it, would there be any extra changes?

Just as Li Yu was thinking about whether to pray to the Lord of Myriad Changes and the Toad God for divine contaminants next.

Suddenly, an accident that wasn't big or small, but gave Li Yu a sudden inspiration, occurred:

It was that in his mind, the Genius Society star cluster, which had been silent for several days without new news, had movement again.

Many members were discussing the same news, and among them, a few people were constantly calling and @-ing Li Yu.

"Have you all heard? Shang Yang is about to return to Wanfu City."

"Really or fake? Banished to the depths of the Spirit Realm, and he can still find his way home?"

"It's the Sacred Nest that paid a huge price and invited the 【Ancient Saint】 to send out a clone to personally go to the Spirit Realm to fish him out."

"These are not the key; the key is that this guy Shang Yang hit the jackpot. I heard that in the depths of the Spirit Realm, he picked up a warship with terrifying power, cast by the Spirit Realm 【Mechanical Necromancer Race】 that once defeated a group of True Gods, making his combat power soar."

"The Sacred Nest has already released the news: tomorrow, Shang Yang will drive that necromancer warship, return from the Spirit Realm, and descend upon Wanfu City."

"What about the Disaster Star? Hurry up and congratulate him; his mortal enemy is back."

"This will be a good show."

Others would panic when seeing this information, but Li Yu saw an excellent opportunity.

Shang Yang returning from the Spirit Realm... would he open a huge void gap... wouldn't it be very reasonable for some Evil God contamination to follow in?

PS: My state is very poor. Let me finish this transitional plot, and then I will enter the next main line.
