Chapter 194: Retaliating Against Two Powerhouses on the Spot

With a shift in his thoughts, Li Yu felt completely unburdened.

He began to accept this "Formless Demon Inheritance" without any resistance, welcoming whatever came his way.

To King Xi, this behavior was a sign that Li Yu was gradually being assimilated and corrupted, so he fed him even faster.

Finally, after all those multicolored light clusters were swallowed by Li Yu, this so-called God-Forbidden Empowerment ended.

Under the gaze of King Xi and the guest, the Haotian Bishop, Li Yu's soul underwent a visible transformation.

Previously, he had been a mix of affability and a hint of cunning.

But now, it had changed.

His appearance and temperament became increasingly elegant and charming, and his affability reached an even higher level.

Even the Haotian Bishop, who knew his true background, found it difficult to feel any malice toward Li Yu at first.

Shaking his head in surprise, he knew that this young "God-Chosen of Myriad Changes," due to a lack of experience, had fallen for the trap of the high-sequence powerhouse King Xi, being forcibly infused with the inheritance and transformed into a believer of the Forbidden God.

A rare, heaven-gifted believer!

In reality, it was a type of resource.

Gods would also compete for such things.

This was not only true for the various evil gods, but also for the righteous gods.

Sometimes, they would even poach each other's followers quite brazenly.

As for the side effects of switching path sequences, as long as the believer had high enough talent and was worth the investment, no one would care about a little initial cost.

"Truly an extraordinary talent; after being transformed by the Forbidden God's inheritance, you are even more terrifying."

"With this kind of affability, if you were to change your appearance and blend into our normal human world, I fear many would willingly become your blood-food, to be devoured by you."

"Therefore, I command you not to come to my Qian Kingdom, or I will surely kill you."

After all, he was a Haotian Bishop capable of contending with King Xi; once the initial bewitchment faded, he quickly broke free.

Not only did he feel wariness and malice toward Li Yu, but he also harbored intense killing intent.

On the spot, he issued an order.

Li Yu, who seemed to have completely finished his "metamorphosis," revealed a temperament that now bore a slight resemblance to King Xi.

Facing the Haotian Bishop's reproach, he did not wait for King Xi to chime in, but instead gave a faint smile and looked at the other party.

In his eyes, a strong, hungry radiance was directly revealed.

It seemed he was already contemplating how to process the Haotian Bishop's radiant flesh and blood to create the most perfect delicacy.

But the response that came out of his mouth the next moment was:

"The doctrine of the Haotian Sect is to shepherd the people on behalf of Heaven, spreading the Haotian gospel and divine radiance."

"But that is just to fool those mortals. When a wolf hears the screams of lambs being stolen by a fox, it might run over to drive the fox away, but it is not there to help."

"Your Excellency is nothing more than a wolf-dog that walked out of the flock of lambs; do not deceive yourself."

After Li Yu said these words.

Inside this illusory space formed by the Forbidden God's devouring, both giants were stunned.

Immediately, a look of twisted anger appeared on the Haotian Bishop's face, as if he were embarrassed and furious at being exposed.

As for King Xi, he suddenly burst into belly-shaking laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Well said! The six major righteous sects, including the Haotian Sect, Earth Mother Sect, and Demon-Slaying Sect, are all a bunch of hypocrites. I said the same thing back in the day."

"You kid are worthy of being a God-Chosen; your talent is outstanding. It is truly great that you can join my Forbidden God Sect."

"Afterward, remember to pray to the 【Forbidden God】 at the first opportunity and take a walk inside His belly."

"For bringing such a good seedling to the Forbidden God, I will also receive some rewards."

King Xi said this while casting a triumphant look at the Haotian Bishop.

On his face and in his eyes, there was intense appreciation for Li Yu, as if he had found some rare treasure.

Clearly!

Li Yu's "mockery" of the Haotian Sect perfectly suited King Xi's appetite and philosophy of life.

With this performance!

Coupled with Li Yu's near-cheating perfect power of theft, he had successfully deceived King Xi.

Especially before dispelling the divine art, King Xi even spoke with delight, discussing the "art of being a person" with Li Yu.

To this, Li Yu also provided a perfect answer.

Although he was not a believer of the Forbidden God, in this regard, even King Xi might not be able to surpass Li Yu.

In addition to the Formless Demon inheritance he had just accepted, Li Yu also possessed "Medicinal Cuisine," "Tongue of the God of Food," and other buffs.

It could be said that as long as Li Yu was willing.

He could switch to the Forbidden God path at the lowest cost.

Of course, he was not willing.

Regarding being a person, he had no such hobbies.

"Kid!"

"Remember, after the divine art is dispelled, pray to the 【Forbidden God】 immediately, and let the great Forbidden God eliminate the cost for you and block the reproach from the 'Lord of Myriad Changes'."

"Otherwise, you will be backlashed by two ascension paths and will die suddenly within a few breaths."

"Your Highness, I understand."

Even at the most critical moment, Li Yu maintained that elegant appearance, revealing not a single flaw.

Even the "Forbidden God Qi" permeating his body began to grow stronger.

All signs indicated that his transformation was a success.

King Xi was a cautious and cunning person, and his personal means were far beyond what Li Yu, a Sequence 6, could compare to.

But unfortunately, he had encountered someone who was cheating.

Soon, as King Xi's voice fell!

The dining table, the giants, and the multicolored radiance all shattered and vanished.

Before the deep palace, Li Yu's eyes suddenly opened, and he saw the real world within the strange domain.

To his left and right, King Xi and the Haotian Bishop still stood.

Both powerhouses had expectations for what would happen next: for instance, Li Yu would immediately pray to the 【Forbidden God】 to smoothly switch paths, or even go further—with such great talent, inspiration, and unparalleled affability, he would likely become a new "Forbidden God-Chosen" and be granted benefits.

All these things, both had considered.

The only thing they did not anticipate was the change in the next moment.

Li Yu did not hesitate for even half a breath; with a brilliant smile on his face, he turned around and unceremoniously smashed the palace gate, breaking into the terrifying territory that was like a nest of evil gods.

A super-loud voice carrying terrifying damage—the Sound of Judgment—resounded throughout the entire nest palace.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, wake up quickly."

A sleeping divine monstrosity might not be awakened even by a thunderclap.

But the Sound of Judgment was a different matter.

Not only did it instantly cause the "Lord of Immortal Qin" on the throne above to be forcibly awakened with a jolt, but it also caused the entire imperial palace to rumble.

Hundreds of slave-people nearby in the palace were directly shaken to death by Li Yu's shout.

When this scene occurred!

In the ears of the two powerhouses, King Xi and the Haotian Bishop, Li Yu's long-delayed voice transmission finally sounded:

"Both of you are high-sequence powerhouses who have been famous for a long time, yet you are so shameless as to plot against a junior like me; truly despicable. Especially you, old pervert King Xi, your actions back in the Qian Kingdom were no different from a parasitic fat worm, shamelessly stealing the livers and brains of mortals, only to flee in a panic after being caught red-handed."

"You defected to the 【Forbidden God】 just to switch to another master to parasitize."

"Unfortunately, you chose the wrong master this time; you are now Sequence 4, and you should know how greedy the Forbidden God is."

"The day you become fat and greasy, plump and white, and fragrant, will be the time you go onto that 【Forbidden God's Dining Table】."

"And old things like you are the hardest to stew until flavorful; I fear you will eventually be placed by the Forbidden God in some terrifying place to be simmered for hundreds of years before you are eaten."

For the latter, these words caused only moderate damage.

But for King Xi, every word was like an invisible sharp blade stabbing into his soul, stirring it violently.

The truth is the most hurtful.

At this moment, how could King Xi not understand?

He had been played.

That Disaster Star Order Master, that God-Chosen of Myriad Changes.

=9+Shu_ba

Had not been corrupted or forcibly twisted in his path sequence at all, but had perfectly played the role of a "Forbidden God believer," completely deceiving the two of them and coaxing him into dispelling the divine art voluntarily.

To think that just a few breaths ago, King Xi was very happy, unexpectedly having transformed a very, very good seedling for the great Forbidden God.

Who would have thought that now, a slap from this junior had come across the air.

At this time, opposite him.

The Haotian Bishop, wearing the skin of General Qin Mu with the big nose, could not help but laugh despite being scolded by Li Yu:

"I spent all day hunting geese only to have my eyes pecked by a little sparrow. You and I should have thought of this earlier; since he could even play a practitioner of the Judgment Star Lord, it seems quite reasonable for him to be a Forbidden God believer as well."

"The reason neither of us reacted was that we were blinded by the affable charm on him."

"This kid is likely a special existence even among the God-Chosen, possibly chosen personally by the 【Lord of Myriad Changes】, which is why some powerful deception-type divine arts were fixed upon him."

"This time, old Prince, you have truly lost your wife and the soldiers too."

The Haotian Bishop's reaction, these few sentences.

Perfectly interpreted that the opponent's pain is one's own joy.

Although he was also swept up in Li Yu's barrage of insults, compared to the pollution and losses suffered by Prince Xi, his were far lighter.

The guess spat out by the Haotian Bishop was also what Prince Xi was thinking in his heart at this moment.

He never once considered the correct answer of "Spirit Venerable Pathway cultivator," firstly because this deity, the Spirit Venerable, was likely already dead, and secondly because a Sequence 6 【Dao Physician】 of that pathway simply could not do such a thing; even a Sequence 5 could not do it.

The only reasonable explanation: "This child is a God-Chosen one highly valued by the Lord of Myriad Changes."

Prince Xi, feeling he had figured out the reason, looked at the Long Chao, which was currently being ravaged by the terrifying morning crankiness of the Qin Qin Zhizhu, and laughed in extreme anger:

"Good, good, good!"

"Today it was indeed my lack of consideration; I must admit defeat."

"Since you, Fellow Daoist Xu, are willing to stay in the palace forever and serve His Majesty well for Mr. Zhao, how could I not fulfill that?"

"I only hope you, Fellow Daoist Xu, do not take a single step out of the hall."

Even a fool could hear that these few sentences from Prince Xi were a threat.

Clearly, he had been thoroughly enraged.

If it could be said that Prince Xi previously had some interest in the hunt or appreciation for talent.

Then now, he had only killing intent.

As long as he was given one chance, no matter how slim, he would seize it.

He would drag Li Yu out, skin him and dismantle his bones; from flesh and skin to bone marrow and brains, every part of his body would be turned into delicacies by him.

While Prince Xi was speaking, some special reactions appeared on his body.

For instance, his belly rumbled, sounding like the roar of tigers and leopards.

Saliva flowed from his mouth, and his eyes glowed with a green light; he looked as if he had gone mad with hunger.

"It seems I am no longer needed."

"The Great Demon eats the Small Demon; the old Prince has already determined that the Myriad Changes God-Chosen is a top-tier ingredient he must eat."

"Once a Forbidden God Pathway cultivator wants to eat something, even if it takes ten or a hundred years, or even a lifetime of pursuit, they will definitely eat it."

While thinking this, the Haotian Bishop, disguised as the Big-Nosed General, prepared to retreat first.

The Prince Xi opposite him made the same move.

Both understood!

That previous half-breath was the only chance to slaughter Li Yu.

Now that he had hidden in the Long Chao, as long as he did not come out, under the protection of the Qin Qin Zhizhu, living until the last day of the one-month timeline would not be a problem.

Supposedly, up to this point!

Li Yu, taking on two, had already achieved an inconceivable battle result.

Although it was through deception and trickery, the fact remained that he had indeed managed to make two long-renowned powerhouses suffer a setback before him.

Most of the Order Masters and Reincarnators from both camps had already fled, but there were still many who had not managed to leave and witnessed this incredible scene.

Prince Xi could guess Li Yu's identity as the "Calamity Star Order Master," and other Demon Star Order Masters could too.

Very quickly, his fame began to spread wildly once again.

Everyone originally thought this was the end.

But immediately, Li Yu let both camps know just how bold he was.

His retaliation!

On the spot, it arrived.

Inside the Long Chao, Li Yu finished cursing Prince Xi with satisfaction, venting the foul air of being plotted against.

But he still did not intend to stop.

Looking at the Qin Qin Zhizhu, who had been woken up by the "Sound of Judgment" he unleashed and was now frantically swinging tentacles, whipping slaves to death, and instinctively venting pollution.

Li Yu came up with a plan, before those tentacles could strike him.

He once again drove the Sound of Judgment and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"I, Xu, just had an inspiration and thought of a better way to treat Your Majesty's wounds and delay the pollution."

"Time is tight; acting a step earlier can save Your Majesty some pain, so I disregarded everything else and entered the hall to disturb you."

"Boom!"

As Li Yu's voice fell, a terrifying tentacle embedded with divine pollutants, carrying a storm, stopped right before his head.

Above, the Qin Qin Zhizhu, who had just woken up and was suffering from intense pain, had his reason slightly return.

After all, Li Yu, this "beloved disciple of Lu Sheng," was his only hope, so even though this violent monarch wanted to destroy everything in his heart, he still squeezed out a gentle smile on his face and said:

"Your clan was wiped out to save Me, how could I blame you, Minister Xu."

"No need to apologize, just speak."

"No matter what you want, I will give it to you."

Facing life, death, and ascension to godhood, the mad Qin Qin Zhizhu had to lower his status.

These few holy words made the thousands of slaves in the hall jealous, and also made the palace maids and Eunuchs sigh that "the number one favored minister before the throne has changed."

And the next moment, this newly appointed number one favored minister was actually impatient to take action against the former number one favored minister and the Grand General Qin Mu, who held the army for the Qin Qin Zhizhu.

Only to hear Li Yu's voice rise in the hall, resounding inside and outside the palace:

"Your Majesty!"

"The source of your pain is born from devouring too much divinity; my master once said that for severe illnesses, one must use strong medicine and heavy hands, such as the method of scraping bones to heal wounds."

"However, your divine might is now too great; all the civil and military officials in the court are in danger of losing their lives just by approaching you."

"The only ones who can get close to you and personally scrape away the useless pollution and filth in your body are likely only the two lords, Prince Zhao and Qin Mu."
