Chapter 673: Qualifications (Extra Chapter 910)

~7 min read 1,344 words

!!!

The Divine Servant, who had been howling with intense emotion, went completely numb.

Because, at this very moment... he had once again touched that secret treasure which should have already been shattered.

That cold sensation seemed to be silently conveying some kind of malice to him.

This time, it was no longer just his blood and body that felt cold; the Divine Servant felt as if his Divine Soul had turned into an ice sculpture.

"This, this, this!?"

No, this is impossible...

He tried to widen his eyes, but the last God Eye had been destroyed by his own hand, and all he could see was pitch blackness.

But for a cultivator, even if the five senses are sealed, they can still perceive blurred details through their divine sense.

That eyeball, which looked like a precious pearl, was definitely the secret treasure he had already crushed twice before.

Then, in the endless darkness, the Divine Servant heard the other party's sneer, which they could no longer hold back:

"Hmph!"

"How truly naive."

"Child, who exactly told you that you could avoid an Illusion Technique just by closing your eyes?"

Does Huhu look like someone from the Uchiha clan who needs to use eyes to cast an Illusion Technique?

"... Ah!"

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant seemed to understand something and was collapsing from the realization of his own foolishness.

Yes, for such an existence, an Illusion Technique could be cast even without eye contact.

But just then, he heard another meaningful chuckle...

"Also, on what basis did you dare to assume that you were under an Illusion Technique just now?"

Nine-Eyed Divine Servant: What?

Snap.

Accompanied by the light sound that rang out again, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant's vision suddenly brightened, and the mysterious existence's smile appeared before his eyes.

He could see again!

"What happened!"

One, two, three... nine!!?

Feeling the long-lost nine fields of vision, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant had a sense of unreality, as if he were in a dream.

What on earth is going on?

Could everything that happened before have been false?

Yet, the weakness in his body and the pain from his wounds were silently reminding him that none of it was false; he had indeed experienced a life-and-death battle.

Then what exactly...

"Why aren't you speaking? Do you not like having so many eyes? Could it be that you prefer having four?"

Snap.

With another light sound, five of the fields of vision before the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant instantly vanished, leaving only four eyes.

There was no pain, nor had he suffered any attack; those eyes simply seemed to have turned back into the bloody holes from before.

Even when facing the Divine Lord, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant had never experienced a feeling like this.

Let alone dodging, he couldn't even comprehend what the other party had done to him.

What kind of great power is this?

"..."

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant was completely bewildered; he didn't even have the strength to be surprised anymore and slumped exhaustedly to the ground.

Having gone through several twists and turns, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant finally recognized the reality before him—in front of this person, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

No matter how he struggled, he could not escape the palm of the other party's hand.

Since that was the case, why continue to struggle?

Might as well just resign himself to his fate.

He raised his head, looking at the existence who seemed to have never vanished from his sight for even a moment, and asked with awe and exhaustion: "... Who exactly are you?"

At the very least, let me die with a clear understanding.

"Me? As for me..." Ren Yidao looked at the Divine Servant whose Heart Star had completely died, and smiled: "I won't tell you."

You aren't qualified enough.

Ren Yidao looked down on a guy like the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant.

Honestly, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant wasn't even as tragic as the three brothers, Shuda and the others, who died in battle.

Well, although they died meaninglessly, at least they died for a cause and will never be separated from their brothers, right?

Brothers, so fragrant.

In the Stomach Star, so warm.

"... I understand." After being rejected, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant lowered his head in silence for a long time, then raised his head, stared into Ren Yidao's eyes, and said slowly: "My lord, I know you look down on me, thinking I am a coward who fears death and am not qualified to know your name."

He seemed to have suddenly seen through his own fate and completely let go of his previous concerns.

"The year I voluntarily became the Divine Lord's servant for the sake of power, I had already abandoned everything of myself and was willing to become a mere shell."

Ren Yidao blinked, having a few things he wanted to say.

Ah, well, Huhu actually didn't say it quite that harshly,

But, you having self-awareness is a good thing, after all.

"Until this moment, in your presence, I have finally awakened, regained my sense of self, and realized what I had done back then."

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant seemed to have entered a special state, possessing a radiance like a final burst of light before death; he tore the Nuo mask off his face, along with the attached flesh and blood, and threw it to the side.

Sss—

As the Nuo mask left his body, his aura plummeted, instantly dropping to Spirit Transformation, and it showed a clear trend of continuing to weaken.

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant's body trembled incessantly; his right hand, covered in feathers, suddenly lifted and reached toward the direction of the Nuo mask, but it was pressed down by his left hand just after being raised.

"No!!!"

He let out a roar and actually tore off his own right arm, throwing it away with force!

"Rather than becoming a Half-Demon and continuing to live like this, neither human nor ghost, I would rather die just like this!"

Fresh blood gushed out from the severed arm, staining a large area of the ground red.

"Oh?"

Ren Yidao blinked, not expecting this guy to have such mettle, and sighed: "I underestimated you."

He raised his hand and pointed into the void toward the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant; the severed arm instantly recovered, turning into an arm with pale skin.

A human arm.

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant stared blankly at the right arm that had returned to normal, his fingers moving slightly, speechless for a moment.

This was his arm, but it was in the state it had been twenty years ago, before he had received the blessing of the Divine Lord.

After a long while, he asked hoarsely: "You... who exactly are you?"

The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant could not understand what kind of existence could accomplish such a thing that defied common sense.

This time, having witnessed his resistance, Ren Yidao gave a response, smiling: "You may call me the Fox Immortal."

"Fox Immortal... so it is you!" The Nine-Eyed Divine Servant widened his eyes; he remembered this honorable name that had been silent for nearly thirty years, "I thought you had already..."

He stood up with some excitement, but retreated after walking in front of Ren Yidao, shaking his head vigorously and saying: "No, this is not what I should be asking."

Feeling the emptiness within his body, he gathered his courage and looked at Ren Yidao: "My Lord! I do not wish to live on like this; before I die, may I ask you one question?"

"Ask away, though I do not guarantee I will answer you."

"Is your appearance this time aimed at the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord?"

"Him?"

Ren Yidao looked at the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant, whose eyes were filled with anticipation, and revealed a joyful smile: "He is not qualified."

"Do not be sad for him either; there are not many people in this world qualified for me to specifically target."

"I am not specifically targeting him alone."

He said:

"I, you see, am targeting everyone~"
