Chapter 182 · Volume 1

You Seem to Like My Power Very Much

A Demigod of extraordinary strength was actually willing to give up his life for a group of ordinary people.
Was it laughable?
No, it was not!
At least for the vast majority of Baleful Stars, it was not laughable at all!
From the day they chose to become Baleful Stars, it meant they had abandoned fame, fortune, and family!
All for the sake of these ordinary people!
Seeing the communication device destroyed, Ming Yang gave a carefree smile and likewise began burning his divinity. However, he didn't try to block the spreading divinity of the evil god; instead, he charged toward the Third Young Master like a moth to a flame.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
The eyeballs on the lantern-carrying ghost’s body burst one after another.
From the moment they had parasitized the lantern-carrying ghost, they belonged to Yin Yang.
And as long as something belonged to Yin Yang, he could sacrifice it!
Therefore, Yin Yang sacrificed them directly to himself. His divinity had been slightly depleted earlier while resisting the soul shock from Number One, and now these served as perfect supplements.
This scene happened so suddenly that it exceeded the Third Young Master’s expectations. The lantern-carrying ghost seized his body once more, and even more fatally, the spiritual energy of the human head on the other side continued to dwindle, making it unable to maintain its human form.
“You... the power of a natural transcendent...”
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt the power within his body rapidly vanishing.
No, it shouldn't be said to be vanishing; it was being devoured!
And the source devouring his power was precisely the natural transcendent internal organs he had been boasting about!
He lowered his head in horror, as if seeing the most terrifying thing in the world.
Almost simultaneously, a voice rang out in his mind.
“You seem to like my power very much.”
The words left the Third Young Master stunned. Then, he abruptly turned his head to look at Yin Yang on the ground!
He had heard Yin Yang’s chanting earlier, so he was naturally familiar with this voice.
“You—”
Before he could say another word, Ming Yang’s strike, carrying his full power, arrived!
As a Baleful Star, how could he not act when he saw the enemy restrained?
Furthermore, ever since the lung had begun absorbing the Third Young Master’s power, his ability to fold space had vanished as well.
Without his strongest defensive measure, restrained by the lantern-carrying ghost, and with Ming Yang burning his divinity, his end was already clear.
Splat!
Nearly half of the Third Young Master’s head was blown apart, sending red and white matter flying.
Yet even so, he actually wasn't dead!
Just as Ming Yang was about to deliver the finishing blow, an eye suddenly opened within the Third Young Master’s brain matter!
Ming Yang was completely caught off guard. The moment he locked eyes with it, his head spun with dizziness.
In the next moment, a voice filled with malice surfaced in his mind.
“Your body belongs to me for now!”
Ming Yang desperately fought for control of his body against the malice in his mind.
At that moment, the lantern-carrying ghost gripped the Third Young Master with one hand and his head with the other, then violently tore the head off.
Pfft!
Blood sprayed everywhere.
A beam of light flew out from his body, heading straight for Yin Yang!
Yin Yang spread his arms in a welcoming embrace. His sacrificial robe parted automatically, revealing his abdomen covered in surgical stitches.
The wound split open inch by inch, sucking the shimmering golden lung inside!
The golden light dissipated within the wound, and one of the scars gradually faded until it disappeared.
Unfortunately, this scene was not witnessed by any onlookers. Ming Yang was busy fighting the will in his mind, and Chi Zhu was occupied absorbing the evil god’s aura, so they both missed the show.
Buzz~
The lantern-carrying ghost’s aura grew stronger once more!
The black liquid on its body boiled like scalding water!
“Kill me!!!”
Ming Yang clutched his head, howling in agony.
In the distance, Chi Zhu looked on with anxiety, but he was barely holding on himself and couldn't help at all.
“Kill me! That weird eye is in my head!”
“Shadow Lotus Church!”
“Kill me!!!”
Ming Yang’s expression shifted between ferocious and resolute.
Looking at his partner who was begging for death, Chi Zhu’s smile gradually turned into one of acceptance. He worked even harder to devour the evil god’s aura, and the phantom behind him had already swelled into a giant balloon.
Yin Yang’s sacrificial robe returned to its original state. He took out the Hidden Vault key, put away the altar, and clapped his hands.
Buzz~
The lantern-carrying ghost and the black jar containing the head vanished into thin air, and a door appeared beneath Yin Yang’s feet.
As Yin Yang pressed the Traveler's Badge against the door, he spoke.
“The Shadow Lotus descends, all hearts return!”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a white light lit up from the direction of the Li family estate.
That was the Purifying World Shadow Lotus!
After finishing a job, it was essential to erase all traces.
Yin Yang’s figure vanished, and a streak of white light shot into the sky from where he had been.
Seeing the soaring white light, Ming Yang and Chi Zhu both revealed smiles of relief. In the next moment, the two of them charged into the white light, detonating all of their divinity.
The barrier was gone now; they had to minimize the explosion as much as possible. By embracing death, they would perish along with the influence of the evil god.
...
Huang City.
The train station.
The Dong family members, who had just boarded the train to leave, all looked out the window together. They saw the area where the Li family had been now engulfed in a brilliant white light!
This was broad daylight; for a white light to be visible during the day, how intense must it be?
“What is that? It’s so pretty~”
Dong Yue looked at the white light with curiosity, while Chef Dong and Dong Xin wore complex expressions.
The fact that the ‘ginkgo leaf’ alone had allowed them to walk out of the barrier already spoke volumes.
Chef Dong stared blankly at the white light, then suddenly gave a sentimental smile.
“I know where we’re going.”
“Where?”
“Back to our hometown to open a restaurant!”
“Hometown?”
“Yeah.”
“Isn’t our hometown Huang City?”
“Of course not. Our family was so poor, how could we ever afford a house in Huang City?”
Hearing this, Dong Yue asked curiously, “Then Daddy, if we were so poor we couldn't even afford a house, do we have the money to open a restaurant?”
At those words, Dong Xin and Chef Dong both silently glanced at their backpacks.
Yes.
It was enough. It was even enough to start a restaurant chain.
...
Creak.
In a dark cellar, an iron door that had been sealed for a long time was suddenly opened from the inside. Yin Yang, having removed his sacrificial attire and wearing a mask, stepped out.
“Mmmph! Mmmph!”
The light in the cellar flickered; it was actually lit by candles. As soon as Yin Yang emerged, he heard muffled whimpering. He turned to look and saw four naked women with iron chains around their necks, handcuffed to the nearby wall.
Their eyes were full of terror as they looked at Yin Yang.
Yin Yang was also taken aback upon seeing them. Just as he was about to speak, a cold glint of light flashed behind him.
The cold light was fast, but the blade-wielding ghost was faster! The arm of the person holding the knife was severed directly by the blade-wielding ghost, and the man rolled on the ground clutching his wound.
Seeing this, the four women grew even more terrified, yet none of them dared to scream. They simply huddled together as closely as possible, trembling.
Seeing this, Yin Yang stepped forward and extended his right hand.
“The great Lord of Rebirth and Communion has heard your pleas and specifically sent me to save you.”
“People in suffering, are you willing to leave with me?”
His voice was magnetic, making people feel an instinctive sense of warmth.
The women looked up at Yin Yang. Though they were in a dim cellar, at this moment, they saw light.
