Chapter 251: The First Alien Order Holder

There was no decoration, nor any inlaid treasures or strange stones.

All there was, was grey, weathered human skin, eyes scattered across it, and cracks of unknown authenticity.

Although this was merely a storage magic treasure, any living being other than Li Yu who stared at the cloth bag would immediately feel an extremely intense malice.

If they looked for too long, they would immediately suffer a terrifying mental attack and fall into madness.

Who could have imagined?

A storage magic treasure had actually had an attack divine ability permanently fixed into it.

"As for a name, let's call it the 【Qi-Devouring Treasure Pouch】."

"The pouch itself comes with divine abilities like Soul Howl and Undead Corruption; unless it is me, the owner, approaching it, anyone who harbors the thought of taking treasures from it will immediately be assaulted... although the intensity is not as high as what I previously endured, the one or two percent of its lingering effect is enough to deter existences of the same sequence."

"Cultivators without high mental resistance will go insane upon touching this object."

"Even if they can withstand the assault, if they cannot gain its recognition as I did, the pouch will instantly wrap them up and directly generate a new 【Flesh-Brick Human】."

"Moreover, this pouch is sewn together from over a dozen human skins, and its durability is terrifying; I fear that even an existence at Sequence Four would have to pay a price to break free."

"The space inside the pouch is enough to hold a mountain."

"Most importantly, it can contain living creatures!"

"Based on this point alone, my pouch is a top-tier storage magic treasure worth a fortune."

The more Li Yu sensed it, the happier he became.

A Golden Cicada Slough!

It had been exchanged for a proficient and consummate "Secret Treasure Art," as well as a brand-new storage magic treasure with boundless marvelous uses.

This trade was far too worthwhile.

At the same time, these could also be considered his harvest from exterminating the Flesh-Brick Human race.

There were also parts of the "Race Modification Technology," secrets regarding progress increases, and so on.

After some tallying, Li Yu could not help but sigh once more: a high-difficulty, large-scale weird domain truly could bring extraordinary harvests.

Immediately, he hung the Qi-Devouring Treasure Pouch at his waist.

Following the direction indicated by his high inspiration, he once again transformed into an invisible sword ray and began to speed away.

Now, he had confirmed even more: the Despair Death Star was very, very large.

One must know that it was not just him looking for Hong Dou; after being born here, Hong Dou would surely have come to look for him at the first opportunity.

Although in terms of speed, Hong Dou still could not compare to Li Yu.

Yet, he had delayed for several hours refining the treasure, and he still had not been able to sense Hong Dou's trail, which meant the distance between the two was very vast.

But fortunately!

Up to this point, Li Yu had not encountered a life-or-death crisis in the true sense.

Those Flesh-Brick Humans could instantly kill other Sequence Five powerhouses.

But it was precisely him who had brought about the "calamity of extinction," even though for them, this was a great, long-awaited blessing.

The wish that the entire race had held for who knows how many years had finally been fulfilled.

Along the way, they had also gifted Li Yu one great benefit after another; it could be said that both host and guest were delighted.

Unfortunately, Li Yu's good mood was completely gone after about a day.

In the past day!

Li Yu had encountered several more demi-human species.

He had named them "Spider-Men," "Water-Men," "Fungus-Men," "Tree-Men," and so on.

Each species group was very large and possessed some unique divine abilities.

The ecological environment on the Despair Death Star seemed to follow this general pattern:

Although dangerous, the demi-human species each had their own territories.

As long as he could not be killed instantly, Li Yu could escape with one or several extraordinary characteristics he had stolen or snatched.

For example, those Fungus-Men, whose external appearance was almost no different from mushrooms, could collectively release extremely terrifying poisonous gas; even a powerful Longevity Body like Li Yu's was poisoned all the same, nearly dying in their territory.

That kind of poisonous gas, derived specifically to target flesh and blood, was almost a mixture of all virulent poisons and plagues.

The terror of its power made Li Yu think of a certain sequence of a certain pathway.

The Sequence Three 【Fungus Lord】 of the Compassionate Father pathway!

It was rumored that it possessed the ability to indiscriminately poison everything within its domain to death.

Whether it was flesh-and-blood life or spiritual life. Fortunately, the Fungus-Men's abilities were still far from being comparable to a high-sequence powerhouse of the Compassionate Father pathway, allowing Li Yu to force his way out while vomiting blood, having taken several Fungus-Man corpses with him.

Twenty thousand merit points, easily acquired.

The other demi-human species were mostly in similar situations.

Therefore, in just this mere day, Li Yu's merit points had become abundant again, gradually approaching the count of one hundred thousand.

Just as he was beginning to become obsessed with searching for "new species," unexpectedly, he finally encountered other participants.

Moreover, he met three of them all at once.

There were both Demon Star Order Holders and Reincarnators.

But when he saw the scene ahead clearly, he lost all desire to reveal himself.

Right in front, within a communal territory that had been turned into a nest for some kind of large avian creature, it was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

All the corpses were clearly a brand-new type of demi-human.

(Note: The source text contains a repetitive garbled string here; it has been omitted for clarity.)

Their external appearance was roughly a combination of a human and an eagle, only it seemed they had all suffered inhuman torture before death.

Inside the nest, there were only shredded corpses and viscous blood forming pools.

As Li Yu looked over, a prompt from the Demon Star Order sounded in his mind: "Order Holder has triggered the main quest 【Collection】; a demi-human species has been discovered, already sacrificed by another Order Holder, and named 'Eagle Slave'..."

Listening to these sounds, his gaze fell directly onto the highest point of that foul-smelling pile of corpses.

There, a scene of torment and torture that made one avert their eyes was about to unfold:

The victims were two Reincarnators.

One man and one woman; the man had a tall build and a heroic face, but he was now covered in wounds, his life-bound magic sword had already been snapped, and he was near a state of critical injury and death.

As for the woman, her temperament was somewhat similar to "Qing Nü," though inferior, yet still enough to be considered by commoners as a celestial fairy. She seemed to have entered some kind of delirious negative state, her whole body flushed, her graceful form bound to a wooden stake covered in sharp thorns, twisting constantly.

Judging from the Qi emanating from the two, they should have come from the Demon-Slaying Divine Sect and the Earth Mother Sect, respectively.

And the perpetrator, that Demon Star Order Holder.

Looking at his appearance, he was strikingly an extremely handsome youth, his skin delicate and smooth, like the finest silk.

But he did not seem to be a person of the current world, but a Demon Star Order Holder from another world.

Because from some minute details, this youth did not fit the characteristics of any human settlement in the current world, including Wanfu City, such as that head of hair shimmering with a golden luster.

"So I've encountered a Demon Star Order Holder from outside the current world?"

"What star will his codename be?"

"Judging from the Qi, he seems to be a wicked god believer of a Lust sect?"

This judgment in Li Yu's mind was confirmed the next moment.

The scene on that pile of corpses!

The man from the Demon-Slaying Sect initially cursed, but soon turned to begging.

From his words, Li Yu gathered that the female cultivator from the Earth Mother Sect was actually his Dao companion.

Both were Sequence Five, and one could not tell if it was good luck or bad luck.

The good was that they had actually entered the same weird domain.

The bad was that the difficulty of this weird domain was too high.

The three of them had discovered this new demi-human territory, the 【Eagle Slave Nest】, together, but the result was that they hadn't obtained a single bit of benefit, and the two of them, along with the entire Eagle Slave tribe, were tortured to death by that Demon Star Order Holder.

The person himself claimed to be a prince from a certain world in the Spirit Realm!

At the same time, he was also a chosen one of the "Great God of Slaanesh."

Although he was also Sequence Five, he had been blessed by the Slaanesh god multiple times due to some special reasons.

Even when facing a "Sequence Four," he was not afraid in the slightest.

And his current actions!

Perfectly matched what a wicked god believer should do.

He could have finished the act quickly, but he deliberately proceeded slowly.

He was admiring his own masterpiece!

He was admiring the intense pain displayed by this man and woman, which clearly made him feel endless pleasure.

At the same time, this was also the best way for him to please that God of Slaanesh.

"My great Lord!"

"Do you see this? This is a gift from your devout believer."

"What wonderful pain, what pleasure to look forward to."
