Chapter 393

Due to the rampaging of this group of boundless prodigies, Wanfu City has now become like a purgatory.

But the citizens cannot escape, as they have all been betrayed by the gods and treated as playthings for these "guests."

They can only hide in their homes, trembling and leaving their fate to the heavens.

At this moment, in an unnamed alley within the city, a human male possessing the bloodline of a phoenix appeared inexplicably, which was clearly somewhat irrational.

However, this slight anomaly was easily erased by a strange artifact from the City Lord's Mansion.

Accompanied by a hiss that clearly contained surprise.

Li Yu, whose appearance had been altered by the essence of the phoenix, looked up and saw an incredibly gorgeous, enchanting, and seductive harpy flying toward him.

He had previously seen this "Colored-Feather Demon" high in the sky, watching as it grabbed human after human and smashed them into the ground.

Regardless of gender, they all became a puddle of meat paste upon impact.

Looking down from the sky, it was like blooming flowers of blood—bewitching and cruel.

This was precisely the demon's wicked habit.

Besides that, it was naturally about plucking and lust.

Li Yu's current appearance, with fiery red hair and beard, a body covered in phoenix patterns, and even breath carrying a faint flame, was a supernatural phenomenon to mortals, but to a Colored-Feather Demon from the "Hundred-Bird Tribe," it held unimaginable temptation.

She dove down suddenly, her eyes shining with greed and desire.

Without ceremony, she grabbed Li Yu, and after two or three breaths, threw him into a "nest" converted from an entertainment club.

As soon as Li Yu's body landed on the bed covered in layers of soft silk, before he could even stand up, a soft and somewhat furry body pressed down on him.

In all fairness!

The body of the Colored-Feather Demon was full of temptation.

Whether it was that enchanting, beautiful woman's face, that stunning figure, or that extraordinary body scent, it was enough to make any man lose control.

If one encountered a man with a special preference for non-human girls, it would be an even greater bonus.

Especially since she was close by, and this bird demon was not one for wearing clothes.

Who could withstand such stimulation?

If any other human male were abducted, the bird demon probably wouldn't even need to use force; the victim might even turn the tables and pin her into the silk bed.

The persona Li Yu was currently playing was exactly that.

With a roll, he unleashed his immense Vajra strength, pinning the Colored-Feather Demon onto the bed.

Of course, he didn't actually do anything to her.

After all, although Li Yu had a long history and many Dao companions, each one was extraordinary, and he was far from being indiscriminate.

At the very least, he had no interest in a cruel and plucking-prone creature like the Colored-Feather Demon, even if she was extremely seductive.

The moment the two touched.

It meant the Colored-Feather Demon had taken the bait.

While pinning her down, he simultaneously used the "Food-Bait True Monarch's" divine ability.

The "curse power" from the Myriad Changes altered the Colored-Feather Demon's perception, while the demonic dog power that pierces through all space and time opened a gap in the clothing transformed from the void pillar, sending billions of bait threads into her body.

To prevent the Colored-Feather Demon from waking up, Li Yu's Vortex God bloodline, combined with the phoenix essence blood, continued to charm her.

So at this moment!

Even though she was clearly being controlled.

Her body twisted incessantly, emitting sounds that would make one blush.

Wave after wave, higher than the last.

After an unknown amount of time.

Li Yu, with a flushed face and a joyful smile, left the temporary nest.

Behind him, the cries of the Colored-Feather Demon still echoed, earth-shakingly.

Even those who did not understand bird language could hear the pleasure of this "Chosen of the Hundred Birds" at this moment.

And this pleasure would last for a very long time.

Of course, it wasn't that Li Yu was kind-hearted or had developed such perverted hobbies.

It was simply to hook her firmly so she wouldn't escape.

The longer the Colored-Feather Demon remained trapped in distorted pleasure, the more severe the erosion of the bait threads within her body would be, and the more control Li Yu could exert.

Later on, he could even truly control her life and death, using her as a puppet.

Of course, as of now, Li Yu did not yet have such bait.

For the time being, he could only exert some subtle control, or by distorting their cognition, make them perform biased behaviors and transfer pollution.

In this regard, the Sinful Buddha Child had the most say; this evil god, born from the union of the Immaculate Buddha Mother and the Black Maitreya, had almost become Li Yu's exclusive trash can.

However, as time passed and the bait threads eroded deeper, puppets completely controlled by Li Yu would sooner or later appear.

"It's done!"

"The first big fish has taken the bait; it feels truly satisfying."

"This bird demon is indeed a [Child of the World], and her target is Lingying Yuanjun."

"The God of the Hundred Birds behind her wants to take advantage of the collapse of the present world to devour Lingying Yuanjun and ascend to the level of a powerful divinity."

"As for her, she is currently an ordinary divinity, holding the authority of 'Birds'."

Li Yu made these judgments based on the peeping he had just completed using the Colored-Feather Demon as a medium.

After all, being a God-Chosen and a Child of the World, her authority was extremely high.

It even allowed Li Yu to see a part of the "God of the Hundred Birds'" divine shell—countless divine feathers; with just a little bit of spiritual inspiration, she could ascend to a higher level and become an extremely powerful divine entity.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that once the War of the Gods breaks out.

This Bird God will definitely pounce on Lingying Yuanjun, wanting to devour her to complete itself.

Although he understood the conspiracy, Li Yu had no time to worry for Lingying Yuanjun; the latter was a powerful goddess, and if they really fought, the God of the Hundred Birds might be subdued in one round.

The first big fish was caught very smoothly.

Li Yu, in the heat of the moment, immediately set his sights on a new big fish.

His gaze suddenly locked onto a terrifying figure in the distance, who was refining some kind of magic treasure in the air.

Unexpectedly, this figure had a mostly human appearance, but it was only an appearance; it could not possibly be human.

Because its body was covered in scarlet and sharp red hair, it had eight arms, a blood eye embedded in its forehead, and a dense, solidified deathly corpse aura constantly overflowing and flowing in the void.

Around it, coffin-like strange artifacts were floating.

As usual, the basic information appeared:

"Corpse Demon!"

"From a plane called the 'Zombie Universe,' the ruler of this plane is the Corpse Clan."

"Other races and living beings are all resources for the Corpse Clan and sources for new members."

"The Corpse Demon is a God-Chosen of a powerful true god, the [Bone Corpse God], possessing combat power far exceeding the legendary level, and carrying an ominous curse."

"More importantly, he is proficient in a source divine ability called 'Bone Corpse Soul Return,' which can summon fallen powerhouses through strange artifacts and spells, using some bones as a medium, to be used for his own purposes."

"Although the summoned powerhouses are greatly weakened and the duration is not long."

"But as long as the quantity is large enough, he can still remain invincible. Relying on this method, although the Corpse Demon has not reached the demigod level, he is listed among the seeded players, although his ranking is not high."

"Hiss."

After reading the introduction, Li Yu couldn't help but gasp.

Nothing else! The effect of the "Bone Corpse Soul Return" divine ability immediately reminded him of the "Reanimation Jutsu" he had heard of in his previous life.

From the information, it could be said to be exactly the same.

"Being able to make me subconsciously lock onto him, he is likely also a Child of the World."

"As for the target of that [Bone Corpse God]?"

"There is no second person to think of; it must be the Undying Corpse God under the Earth Mother."

"It should also be thinking of killing its way in and devouring a true god of the same attribute to leap to a higher status."

"It is also hard for the Ancient Sages to spend so many tens of thousands of years roaming the boundless spiritual world to gather so many divine entities with the same attributes as the true gods."

"Demon Star!"

Li Yu's final shout was naturally to see what kind of bait could successfully catch the Corpse Demon.

A list of exchange items soon appeared.

3.9 million merit points were ready to move.

Before long, Li Yu selected the most suitable target bait:

"Beautiful Female Corpse!"

"As the name suggests, this is a female corpse with a beautiful appearance and a powerful interior."

"As a prodigy of the Corpse Clan, especially a male Corpse Demon, the bait he cannot refuse is naturally another powerful female Corpse Demon."

"Especially if this female Corpse Demon is at a critical stage of developing intelligence, the temptation to him will be maximized."

"He will spare no effort to help that 'female Corpse Demon' successfully open her intelligence. In the process, he will naturally choose to add ingredients, so he can gain a powerful helper who is obedient to him—a perfect Dao companion."

"No Corpse Demon can refuse this temptation."

"Exchange price: Priced according to the degree of temptation to the Corpse Demon, minimum 500,000 merit points... maximum 5 million merit points."

"The maximum is temporarily out of stock."

"Exchange!"

The price was somewhat unexpected, but Li Yu chose to exchange without hesitation.

The merit point balance instantly decreased by 500,000 points.

Immediately before him appeared an incomparably beautiful female corpse, seemingly cast from white jade, of unknown origin.

There was no telling what kind of powerhouse she had been in life.

The remains she left behind still gave one a sense of immense power, making Li Yu involuntarily think of that fellow sect member from before, the Penglai female immortal.

However, Li Yu was no pervert, so he naturally had no interest in a female corpse.

After a glance, his gaze shifted to another strange object in his hand:

The Heaven-Evolving Truth Brush!

Zuo Cikui was truly a good person.

He gave this treasure to Li Yu for the purpose of saving his life.

Who could have imagined that Li Yu would develop this kind of usage, using it to fish, providing a perfect logic for the appearance and entry of the bait.

He was originally a top-tier angler, and now with the City Lord's Mansion's strange treasure to smooth over the irrationalities, plus the fact that this place was already a "playground," it was exactly the moment when all the prodigies of the Boundless were at their least vigilant.

And as long as they ate the bait, they would be unable to escape Li Yu's clutches.

At this moment, he did not hesitate, raised the brush, and wrote:

"The Corpse Demon is scouring Wanfu City for suitable humans to refine into bone vessels that can be used to summon reincarnations."

"Very soon, after destroying a nameless evil cult's den, he unexpectedly discovered a female corpse within that the evil cultivators were worshipping as an evil god."

"The reason she was treated as an evil god was because this female corpse had already fallen into demonic ways and had reached a critical juncture in her cultivation, about to awaken her intelligence."

"Upon seeing this, the Corpse Demon dared not delay in the slightest and immediately used his own corpse soul to help her awaken her intelligence, with the goal of completely controlling this soon-to-be-born female corpse demon..."

This short story had no flaws, whether in time, location, or logic.

Therefore, it quickly became reality.

It was just that the subsequent development was directed by Li Yu.

The female corpse demon awakening her intelligence was naturally fake; it was just a trick Li Yu had played on the bait.

Of course, it wouldn't be hard to make it absolutely real; he could just spend 100,000 merit points to redeem an Intelligence-Awakening Pill.

But Li Yu, firstly, was reluctant to spend the merit points; secondly, he was unwilling to toy with a corpse; and thirdly, his control over fleshly vessels was enough to make the fake look real.

The Corpse Demon was easily deceived.

When his corpse soul left his body, focusing on refining the female corpse,

he was completely unaware that his own vessel was being invaded by billions of bait threads.

Thus!

Following that Colorful Feather Bird Demon, the second big fish, the "Corpse Demon," also fell into Li Yu's hands.

During the process, Li Yu also quietly caught a glimpse of that evil god known as the Bone God.

Its status was the same as the Hundred-Bird God, that of an ordinary god.

The authority it wielded was bones, death, and resurrection.

It seemed comprehensive and powerful, but in reality, it had a sense of being all show and no substance.

However, if it were really allowed to swallow the [Undying Corpse God], then everything would be different; a terrifyingly powerful Bone Death God would be born in the Boundless Spirit Realm.

Another fish hooked!

Li Yu's addiction was not satisfied; instead, it became even more intense.

The brilliance in his eyes was restless.

"This place, and this timing, are truly too perfect for me."

"Now that I've only hooked two big fish, I can already feel that my sequence realm is completely overflowing."

"As for the future, it's hard to say."

"But in past history, there should be no [Bait-Eating True Monarch] who can compare to me."

"These overflowing cultivation bases are not wasted; besides significantly increasing my current combat power, they will also be of huge benefit when I ascend to Sequence Three, [Creation True Immortal], in the future."

"Continue, continue!"

With this thought, Li Yu was unceremonious.

His whole person walked through the spatial rifts, but his gaze swept across the entire city, searching for the next big fish to cast his line for.

The resources within Wanfu City now were truly heaven-defying.

In just the blink of an eye, Li Yu locked onto his third target.

It was a female demon whose entire body was engulfed in flames, with red hair and beard; her body was like a combination of a human and a True Dragon, filled with a terrifying sense of power, and even through the void pillar, she still emitted an aura that seemed to want to destroy everything.

Just by looking at her, without even conducting any deep probing, and without even recalling basic information,

Li Yu, due to his perception and intuition, formed a few strange judgments and doubts:

"This Flame Dragon Girl must be a Child of the World; her realm is infinitely close to a demigod, and her combat power has likely already touched the demigod level."

"But why is she related to the [Lord of the Furnace]?"

"That shouldn't be; if the Furnace wanted to invade the present world, with Its divinity, It would never participate in such conspiracies and calculations; It should have directly broken into the world barrier and started rampaging."
