Chapter 198: How Much Divinity Has the Master of the Immortal Qin Eaten?

Qing Nü hurried away, her spirit bird form even stumbling in mid-air.

Li Yu had not expected his abrupt touch to be the cause; seeing this, he chuckled, secretly thinking that this cold, aloof goddess actually had such a side to her.

Immediately, he thought of what Qing Nü had said regarding Sister Miaochang, and he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

"I was careless and went too far, provoking a little nun."

"I wouldn't mind her returning to secular life, but her sect, the Water Moon Nunnery, is full of high-sequence powerhouses; I fear they will hunt me down in the future."

"I find myself missing my predecessors again; if I had a sect to rely on, why would I still be fighting this lonely battle?"

One could tell just from these three thoughts of Li Yu.

Having been in Wanfu City for so long, he had been influenced to some extent.

He hadn't even thought about persuading Sister Miaochang to give him up, to sever her emotions and desires, and to cultivate properly.

Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with the old nuns' pursuit after spiriting the little nun away.

Of course, these were all unknown matters.

Even if they came true in the future, who knew how long that would be.

Right now, he, Li Yu, still had to face a terrifying "big trouble."

The fallen Master of the Immortal Qin, the mad and violent monarch.

Although King Xi and that leader of the Vast Heaven Church called "Zhang Tang" were both sequence-four powerhouses.

In a very short time, they had scraped away the filthy secretions from all over the Master of the Immortal Qin, which resembled a mountain of dark flesh, and even excised some tumor-like things.

Before leaving, they had also been incredibly considerate, applying ointment to the Master of the Immortal Qin and stitching the wounds with steel needles and hemp rope.

Although it was still miserable and horrifying, it did indeed make the Master of the Immortal Qin feel much better.

Crouched on that throne, he made some very unseemly noises.

But, the duration of the effect was truly short.

Not even an hour!

Those disgusting, filthy secretions surged out again like a tide.

Tumors and abscesses grew visibly to the naked eye.

Wounds and sores burst open, and pus and black liquid condensed into streams and rivers, once again beginning to flow within this palace that resembled the lair of an evil god.

When this scene occurred, those thousands of slaves were extremely happy.

Their purpose had been restored.

They howled one after another, pouncing forward, their long tongues whipping out like afterimages, frantically licking the filth for their master.

Although many of them would be injured or die suddenly during this process, some slaves would evolve because of it, transforming into more powerful kin.

This scene!

It left Li Yu stunned; he observed it carefully for a moment before realizing:

"Although guided by predecessors like Lu Sheng, he took the wrong path."

"But the Master of the Immortal Qin, after all, possesses a massive supply of resources, and being a heaven-sent genius himself, even while walking on the wrong path, he has obtained some powers that only true gods possess."

"This method of using one's own pollution to create a new race is truly something no other living being can use, except for evil gods."

"Unfortunately, it treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

"No matter how cleanly it is licked, it cannot touch the source of the pain at all."

As if to verify Li Yu's last thought.

Soon, the mad and violent holy words of the Master of the Immortal Qin began to resound through the hall.

"Pain! It pains Me so!"

"Minister Xu, I order you to resolve My pain immediately."

"Quickly, if you cannot do it within ten breaths, I will exterminate your entire clan."

……

The pain brought by a kind of divine pollution is something almost no living being can endure.

And the Master of the Immortal Qin, like a stamp collector, had swallowed who knows how much.

He was no longer human, but a monstrous thing.

So, tortured by pain at this moment, he completely forgot the "many promises" he had made to Li Yu, his savior, and revealed his true colors as a tyrant on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Yu had long expected it and felt no surprise at all.

Without any hesitation!

He prayed for the Star Lord of Judgment to descend divine punishment.

Immediately, the terrifying divine power of judgment roared within the lair.

It was just like tiny, "invisible meteorites" that melted everything, raining down and smashing into every part of the Master of the Immortal Qin's filthy, monstrous body.

Another kind of burning pain replaced the pain of pollution.

Compared to the latter, the former was practically a gift to the Master of the Immortal Qin.

Once again, he crouched on the throne and began to make unseemly groaning noises.

"Minister Xu!"

"You are indeed My savior; it is a pity that your master, Minister Lu, has perished, otherwise, if the two of you worked together to assist Me, I would surely be able to ascend to godhood sooner..."

"Your Majesty, please rest well and do not move recklessly; Xu Fu may have a way to cure the pain in Your Majesty's body at the root."

"Truly? Good, good, good, Minister Xu, proceed as you will."

"I will not move, I will absolutely not move recklessly."

The Master of the Immortal Qin said he would not move recklessly, but in reality, because he was overly excited, his filthy tentacles were unconsciously whipping about wildly.

If Li Yu hadn't dodged quickly, he might have accidentally taken a hit.

Fortunately, he soon realized this as well, and tried his best to restrain himself, lying prone on the throne without moving.

Looking from afar, he seemed like a filthy, dark, and terrifying mountain of flesh, crouching obediently. Anyone who approached would be polluted and would die suddenly.

Only Li Yu was an exception.

Including the two powerful leaders, King Xi and the Vast Heaven Church leader, everyone believed that Li Yu was using a "historical hoax" to take advantage of the situation, with the sole purpose of seeking shelter under the Master of the Immortal Qin.

Thereby avoiding the brutal slaughter between righteous and evil, and also avoiding the black hands of the two great powerhouses.

To the "Master of the Immortal Qin" himself, Li Yu was nothing more than a weak ant.

He could do nothing to him, let alone covet the 【Immortal Qin Jade Seal】 inside the Master of the Immortal Qin, which contained the origin of all divinity and an incomplete path to godhood.

Who could have guessed?

Li Yu was indeed coveting it.

And he had his own methods.

When he followed the anatomical route he had seen during his previous "sudden enlightenment" and appeared before a fresh, huge, and thick tentacle.

=9+Shu_ba

In Li Yu's hand, there appeared an extraordinary weapon; it was precisely the surgical tool he had obtained in the previous, previous strange realm, specifically designed for stitched-together creatures: the Holy Book Blade.

Its original owner was suspected to be a powerful founder of the 【Holy Nest】, who was also a fanatical flesh-experiment modifier.

"Hmm?"

Although he had peeked at it in advance, seeing the details up close, Li Yu still couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

The surface of this giant pillar-like tentacle was embedded with fish scales, fanged fish mouths, trembling gills, and distinct spines... and surrounding this tentacle, those slaves licking the filth had more characteristics compared to the other slaves.

For example, grayish-green bodies, white bellies, and hidden gills on both sides of their necks, etc.

And after that tentacle hung down, the intense pollution released from it immediately condensed into solid black water, flowing into streams and rivers; it was only a few meters deep, but it gave people a sense of coldness and fear like an endless abyss.

When Li Yu walked over!

Terrifying whispers and murmurs surged in like a tsunami.

And those slaves with fish scales and fish gills also crowded over, emitting some blurred syllables, as if they were chanting some obscure ballad.

At the same time, they were also issuing some kind of invitation.

Relying on his lack of fear for this type of pollution, Li Yu actually focused his mind to listen.

Soon, he learned about the origin of this tentacle, and a look of surprise, yet expectation, appeared on his face.

"The freshest, and also the last type of filthy divinity swallowed by the Master of the Immortal Qin... is the 【Divinity of the Abyss God】."

"The obsession with ascending to godhood made the Master of the Immortal Qin become incredibly greedy and gluttonous."

"The Abyss God, as rumored, is an evil god imprisoned in the endless deep sea."

"Under his command, there is a kin called 【Tide-Sound Mermen】, whose appearance is similar to ugly mermaids."

"In history, after the Master of the Immortal Qin died suddenly, he was stuffed into a pile of rotting corpses of a large group of Tide-Sound Mermen by Zhao the Thousand-Year-Old."

"I didn't expect that even though he was already dead, the Master of the Immortal Qin's corpse, which had already become a monster, sensed the 【Divinity of the Abyss God】 within the surrounding Tide-Sound Mermen, so he ate even in death, eventually condensing this tentacle of divinity."

When Li Yu had sorted out this deduction.

The nineteenth truth bubble on his eye membrane jumped forward a little.

Clearly, his conclusion had been recognized by the progress of truth.

It meant it was no longer a deduction, but historical truth.

Li Yu only glanced at it, and his mind continued:

"In that case!"

"The number of tentacles the Master of the Immortal Qin has now represents how many types of divinity he has swallowed."

"The thicker it is, the stronger the divinity, and the more severe the pollution."

"Once this tentacle, born from devouring the 'Divinity of the Abyss God,' is brandished against an enemy, it will directly release powers related to the Abyss God, such as the Black River, Tide-Sound, and so on."

"When left undisturbed, the continuous corruption can give birth to slave-people possessing the characteristics of Tidal Sound Shark-folk."

"Of course, these slave-people are not loyal to the source of power, the 【Nether God】, but to the Lord of Immortal Qin; they even gave the Lord of Immortal Qin a new divine title, calling him the Sea God."

"The slave-people birthed by the other tentacles exhibit the same behavior."

As these thoughts settled, Li Yu subconsciously swept his gaze over the full appearance of the Lord of Immortal Qin once more.

A dozen or so filthy tentacles, thick and thin, along with the various slave-people crouching around each tentacle, immediately made his scalp tingle.

It was not just because of the terrifying degree to which the Lord of Immortal Qin had reached!

It was even more so a reflection on predecessors like Lu Sheng.

"The Lord of Immortal Qin was a perfectly fine 【Mars Military Immortal】, and a heroic ruler of his generation at that; I wonder how predecessors like Lu Sheng managed to trick him into embarking on this path of no return."

"The organized crime of the Spirit Venerable path is truly terrifying."

"But it is no wonder that at the critical moment, the predecessors chose to flee, because if they didn't escape then, their ruse would have been exposed."

"If all these divine corruptions were to erupt at once, no one could suppress them."

"Moreover, no one can cure them."

"Even someone as powerful as the Haotian Archbishop or the Earth Mother High Priestess would be powerless when faced with such an intractable ailment."

"However, I quite like this examination question."

"Once I finish the dissection, I will go to advance to Sequence Five."

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Li Yu held the Holy Scripture Blade and prepared to head toward the base of the tentacles, intending to sever this Nether God tentacle that brought endless pain to the Lord of Immortal Qin.

Yet, just as he truly drew near, a terrifying scene that caused his expression to change once again burst into his eyes, catching him off guard.

The lower half of the Lord of Immortal Qin!

At the roots of those dozen or so tentacles, there actually existed dozens of clusters of "foreign objects."

They looked like transparent, fleshy tumors growing out, and what was gestating inside them were, shockingly, fresh and filthy new tentacles.
