“I... I’m in so much pain!”
The Old Master’s voice was filled with agony, and the light inside his belly grew brighter and brighter.
“Argh!!!”
He collapsed to the ground, twitching violently in pain.
The veins on Lyu Che’s forehead throbbed as he weighed the pros and cons.
Should he go to him?
He was afraid the Old Master was mutating.
Should he stay away?
He was afraid this was another one of the Old Master’s tests.
He wasn’t overthinking it. Years ago, his brother Lyu Tong had become the primary heir of the Lyu family precisely because he had passed one of the Old Master’s tests.
Lyu Che, having failed by a narrow margin, had been forced to go out and start his own venture. Who knew if this was yet another test?
Fortunately, the Old Master made the choice for him.
“Argh!!!”
The Old Master let out another blood-curdling scream. The skin of his abdomen began to swell like a giant ball.
Boom!
His stomach exploded!
Blood and organs splattered everywhere, drenching Lyu Che.
Whoosh!
A streak of golden light shot toward the sky. Just as it was about to fly out of the water curtain, a massive, pitch-black hand suddenly lunged to grab it.
But the golden light seemed to possess a consciousness of its own. With a silky-smooth turn, it bypassed the hand and pierced through the water curtain, vanishing into the distance.
“Argh!!!”
Lyu Che shrieked. His eyes had been following the golden light, and as a result, he had glimpsed the ‘unseeable’ thing.
Immediately, sludge began to ooze from his eyes.
“No, no, no!”
He frantically tried to wipe it away, hoping to stop the muck, but it was already too late.
His flesh also dissolved into sludge, erupting from his seven orifices and contaminating the ground.
The one who had just tried to intercept the golden light was the newly awakened ‘god’!
“Hahaha~”
Black Death Lolita laughed maniacally.
“Idiots, a bunch of absolute idiots, hahaha~”
On the other side, Jade Dog and the others were struggling to use their divinity to resist the evil god’s corruption. If they relaxed for even a moment, their flesh would turn into a pile of sludge.
Among them, Lyu Xiaofeng was in the worst state. He had already been poisoned and was relying entirely on his divinity to hold on.
Now that he had to divert a portion of his divinity to counter the evil god’s influence, he found himself lacking the strength to cope.
“She managed to summon an evil god’s avatar without even using a sacrifice?”
Jade Dog was somewhat surprised, but he didn’t panic.
It was just an evil god’s avatar; it wasn’t like he hadn’t seen one before.
Moreover, they were currently inside a sealed object. The situation wasn’t entirely hopeless for them yet.
“Chief Xia! An evil god’s avatar has descended! We definitely aren’t a match for it on our own!”
Boom!
The evil god’s avatar didn’t even spare them a glance. It slammed violently against the water curtain, targeting the exact spot where the golden light had disappeared.
Outside the water curtain, Xia Yitiao frowned deeply. He had also seen the golden light just now.
Fast—it was far too fast.
Before he could even react, the golden light had already vanished over the horizon.
Then, he heard Jade Dog’s call for help.
Xia Yitiao sighed, put away his insulated cup, and said, “Just hold on a little longer. I’ll contact Headquarters to see if they have any other support available.”
Inside the water curtain, Jade Dog wasn’t surprised by the answer. He calmly bit his finger and drew a sigil on his forehead.
“Invoking the God: Fearless!”
Buzz~
The sigil on his forehead glowed faintly. In the next instant, he charged toward the evil god.
The evil god’s influence actually lost its effect at that moment!
This was one of the Baleful Star’s ultimate moves against evil gods!
Invoking the God!
Fearless!
They could utilize a portion of the War God of Great Wei’s divine power!
While this power couldn’t help them fight directly, it allowed them to ignore the pressure of an evil god’s aura.
This was only natural. After all, the War God’s followers had destroyed countless temples of evil gods in the past. How could they possibly be afraid of an evil god’s influence?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Chains coiled toward the evil god’s avatar. Nearby, Da Di looked a bit anxious.
He wasn’t a believer of the War God of Great Wei, so he naturally couldn't use 【Invoking the God: Fearless】!
“I’ll help you!”
A voice rang out from behind him. It was Red Fox.
From the beginning, Red Fox had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
But ever since Black Death Lolita summoned the evil god, he had lost any chance for a surprise strike.
“Alright,” Da Di agreed.
Red Fox bit his finger and drew a symbol on Da Di’s forearm and forehead.
“You aren’t a believer of the War God, so the divine power you can use is limited. I can only help you reduce the influence as much as possible; I can’t negate it entirely.”
“So you still need to use a portion of your divinity to resist the corruption. Do not get careless!”
“Got it!”
As soon as Red Fox finished sketching the sigils, Da Di shot forward. There wasn’t a trace of fear on his face, only excitement!
The opportunity to clash with an evil god’s avatar was incredibly rare.
Not far away, the sludge that Lyu Che had become had already corroded a large patch of the ground. Just as the muck was about to flow over the Old Master’s body...
The Old Master’s body glowed faintly. The wound on his abdomen began to heal, and a bloodline appeared around his neck.
Crack.
His head rolled away, his eyes staring blankly at the air, filled with a sense of dying with unresolved grievances.
The headless corpse then slowly climbed up from the ground, crouched down, and began drawing inscriptions with its finger.
...
Inside a residential apartment.
Yin Yang’s abdomen was emitting bursts of golden light, but he ignored it. He used a pen to sketch a formation on the floor and sat cross-legged atop it. Beside him, the blade-wielding ghost and the lantern-carrying ghost stood guard faithfully.
This place wasn’t particularly close to the Lyu family manor, so his spiritual control was slightly delayed. It had taken him quite a while to silently send the Headless Ghost inside.
For this, he had the Old Master to thank. If the old man hadn’t been using Yin Yang’s liver so frequently, Yin Yang wouldn’t have been able to send the Headless Ghost in so easily.
Currently, Yin Yang was using the Old Master’s field of vision to watch the battle, though the old man’s eyes were already dim and blurry, making it difficult to see clearly.
Most of the Lyu family members were already dead, but Lyu Xiaofeng, the main culprit, was still alive.
As long as he lived, the Lyu family hadn’t truly fallen. Yin Yang naturally couldn’t rest easy.
Inside the barrier, the Old Master’s headless corpse was quietly sketching a formation diagram. No one was paying any attention to it.
Bit by bit, it drew a formation nearly two meters in diameter and then sat upon it.
Gurgle, gurgle~
Faint wisps of black energy emanated from the corpse’s neck, dissipating into the air.
“Die!!!”
Boom!
Da Di threw a punch, shattering a small portion of the evil god’s body into sludge.
He looked excited as he glanced toward Black Death Lolita and threw another punch.
The wind from his fist howled, but Black Death Lolita drifted backward like a feather, riding the current.
“Restrain!”
Jade Dog summoned his chains again to bind Black Death Lolita.
But as soon as the chains rose into the air, they all turned into sludge and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Da Di retreated rapidly. He hadn’t forgotten Xia Yitiao’s instructions.
“Hahaha~”
“Who do you think you’re facing? A wild god? Hahaha!”
Black Death Lolita laughed with absolute arrogance.
The evil god’s avatar finally stopped obsessing over the golden light and slowly turned its head to look at them.
In the next moment, the dry ground transformed into a sludge swamp, rapidly spreading toward them.
The several Demigods instantly leaped into the air, while the headless corpse that had just finished setting up its formation was buried by the sludge.
