ASER - Chapter 229
Chapter 229: Old Pervert
It's great to be powerful. When she was at her weakest, she had to run to the cellar or crawl through pipes just to avoid a level-one demonic spirit, cutting a truly pathetic figure.
How long had it been now? Not even two years, and she could already pinpoint the dungeon's location across several dimensional spaces, factoring in the demonic den's spatial influence, and then teleport accurately.
Toilet understood everything now. While marveling at A'Diao's cunning, it sighed, "No wonder even a skinflint like you was willing to spend more than half your fortune to create a decoy body. You can't catch a wolf if you're not willing to sacrifice the bait. But are you confident you can win against them? Those two have the combat power of Great Spirit Kings, and you might still be a bit lacking, especially since they've teamed up and are in their demonic den stronghold."
"I'm going to retrieve my own things using skill and stealth, not like some bandit picking a fight."
"…"
Toilet thought that made sense. A'Diao, while stealthily traversing space, added, "Of course, if I successfully retrieve it, digest it, and become stronger, then…"
Everything was left unsaid. The girl and the toilet shared a sly grin.
When A'Diao entered the demonic den, she avoided the dungeon area and landed in the mountain forest on the outskirts. Standing on a hillside in the valley, she looked at the distant cave area. Her timing was perfect; she saw that scoundrel Dantai Ye leaving.
One entered, one exited.
Toilet: "Isn't he going to arrange the contract? Why is he leaving?"
A'Diao's eyes narrowed slightly. "Probably to prepare things to either peek at or outright devour my memories. That way, he wouldn't need my consent to learn the method for creating the mutated substance."
Cultivation was easy to improve, but a brain like hers was unique. Even the great demon lords of the demonic den couldn't accomplish what A'Diao, Chen Xun, and Qu Xia'er could.
Knowledge was the most powerful and irreplaceable force.
However, with him gone, she didn't have much time. Three days was the longest limit; his return and move against her decoy body was the shortest.
"Although it's very similar to the main body, once he invades its memories, the cover will be blown."
A'Diao initially thought three days would be enough, but now she felt a sense of urgency and immediately got down to business.
She had come prepared.
Relying solely on mental power for detection definitely wouldn't locate the Sun-like resource. Just like at the Orchid Water Abyss, who could have known the truth within? A'Diao had, while creating the decoy body, combined the residual Sun-like substance from before with what she found at the Orchid Water Abyss, plus Qu Xia'er's help. Together, they had created a tracking taboo item. Inside, they had hidden a small Sun-like Origin Beast, specially nurtured by them using Sun-like substance. Though not as powerful as a true Sun-like Beast, it was intended to utilize its ability to track its own kind.
Now, this thumb-sized little Sun-like Beast wagged its tail and head inside the bell, quickly yielding results.
Under its guidance, A'Diao soon arrived at the back of the mountain where the cave was located.
"Backed by the mountain's yin, at the base of a Nine Dragons water acupoint, with a path guided by the Yellow Springs, the netherworld is boundless. How formidable! The Feng Shui of Nine Dragons Lifting a Coffin. This utilizes ancient human civilization; even demon lords wouldn't see through its secrets. This Dantai Ye is a capable one."
After finding the place, A'Diao, carrying the bell, went straight underground…
Toilet: "Although he isn't a true descendant of a Human-Demon bloodline, merely a demonic seed incubated by a surrogate, it seems that such hybrid creatures… are all exceptionally outstanding. Do you think this is some kind of genetic law? Once a limit is broken, it brings about an escalating genetic evolution–I think you're even stronger than an average Celestial Clan member."
Just a demonic seed gestating within a human body could produce someone as terrifying as Dantai Ye. What about A'Diao, who had truly broken through the species' genetic reproductive barriers?
Toilet's praise was sincere, but also truthful. A'Diao had actually thought about this matter too.
"Perhaps, but the process is dangerous. Breaking the limit is the result; countless die or are injured in the preceding process."
Moreover, it was mass death during the embryonic-infant stage. Her own childhood experiences were a concrete example, so A'Diao had a natural aversion to such things.
However, this was a mess created by the demons. A'Diao was only worried about how many Human-Demons were mixed among humans.
What if there was more than one Dantai Ye…
A'Diao quickly reined in her thoughts, because she had arrived.
A'Diao saw the restriction before her.
Dantai Ye could repair 38 restrictions, indicating his proficiency in them was also very high. To hide the Sun-like resource, he had naturally utilized his skills to the fullest. A'Diao didn't act rashly but repeatedly observed and probed, finally discovering a three-ring monitoring sensor restriction within.
Toilet: "Damn! As soon as you touch these restrictions, it will alert him? You need to hurry, don't get cornered."
A'Diao: "How could you be like this?! Little Toilet, I misjudged you!"
Toilet: "?"
A'Diao: "Why let him know?"
A'Diao wasn't flustered. After teasing Toilet a bit, she pondered for a moment and then began to act.
Toilet couldn't understand such technical matters, so it took a nap. When it woke up, it saw A'Diao finishing up. To be precise, she was preparing to dismantle the "door."
The door was a restriction with a sensor system on it. What was the method to solve it?
Dismantle the entire thing, avoiding contact with the sensor system inside. However, after dismantling, it would lose its power source. Once the power was cut, it would be equivalent to losing connection, and the other side would also detect it. Therefore, all peripheral systems of this restriction had to be completely dismantled in an instant, and simultaneously, the power source had to be reconnected to maintain its operation.
So, when Toilet opened its eyes, it saw A'Diao distributing thirty thousand mental threads along the edge of this massive restriction. She was going to dismantle and reconnect the power source in a single instant.
Even Toilet became nervous, watching A'Diao decisively and instantly control thirty thousand mental threads in synchronized operation.
In just a flash, myriad lights and electric flickers changed, the restriction's contents shifted… reconnected.
Just a flash.
The restriction remained entirely undamaged but was moved aside, revealing a gap. A'Diao, with Toilet, transformed into a streak of light and entered, then restored it to its original position.
Everything was perfect, flawless.
Inside the small treasure space, A'Diao and Toilet were both shocked.
This space was about a hundred thousand cubic meters, filled with countless skeletal remains, star stones, and numerous cosmic-grade rare ores and medicinal herbs. Of course, there were also spirit cores, basically all high-grade cultivation resources common among humans. A'Diao estimated these resources were enough to upgrade Toilet by two or three levels.
However, these were secondary. For the first time, A'Diao didn't display the greedy demeanor of a little evil dragon. Her gaze was completely captivated by the oval eggshell-like crystals suspended in a huge lake in the center of the space.
Each oval crystal had a long axis of fifty meters. There were a total of 99 oval bodies, with crystal-clear shells, containing a liquid-like compressed Sun-like substance, resembling mercury.
The quantity was terrifying, almost a hundred times what A'Diao and Qu Xia'er had obtained on the frontier.
"This old turtle is formidable, silently amassing a fortune." A'Diao praised Chen Gui endlessly. Toilet was somewhat surprised, just about to praise A'Diao for her improved composure, for remaining so calm, but before it could utter the praise…
The outwardly calm A'Diao had already pressed her body against one of the oval bodies, clinging to it with all four limbs spread out like a koala, even rubbing her cheek against it.
Ahhh, so happy.
Mine, mine, all mine.
Toilet: "…"
It had spoken too soon.
However, A'Diao didn't indulge in the ecstasy of striking it rich for long. She quickly calmed down and activated her Eyes of the Yellow Springs to observe… Finally, she swept away all 99 oval bodies, and with a wave of her sleeve, she also swept away the other items.
Toilet saw that most things were swept away, but some items were left behind, and these items were left in their original positions, not moved even slightly.
"These things are?"
A'Diao: "They are the final ring of warning objects he specifically left behind. If I had swept them all away at once, causing them to leave their original fixed spatial positions, it would have also alerted him."
My god, this was too cunning.
Toilet remarked eloquently, "He and you, it's like a dung beetle running into diarrhea; no matter how many tricks he has, they're useless against you. You're still the more formidable one, Diao."
A'Diao: "???"
Fortunately, having obtained such a massive boon, A'Diao didn't bicker with Toilet. After some tinkering, she went out.
After exiting, she also erased all traces and restored the restriction–just like Dantai Ye had done with the map.
Cultured people, technical experts, must restore things after a transport job.
After leaving the underground area, A'Diao checked the time. More than an hour had passed, and Dantai Ye still hadn't returned.
A'Diao immediately ran to another place to hide, then entered Room 303 and took out the time-acceleration secret chamber.
Whether killing or saving people, strength was the prerequisite.
With the resources secured, all that remained was development.
Upon entering the secret chamber, A'Diao first rolled around on the floor, overjoyed. Even Toilet flew out and rolled around with her.
Hahahaha! We're rich! We're rich!
A'Diao's body had already undergone one mutation, giving birth to a talent for manipulating molecules to a certain extent. This talent was terrifying, but it was, after all, only a small-scale mutation, and the degree was insufficient. The reason A'Diao targeted the Sun-like substance was precisely because she wanted to deepen the degree of mutation and strengthen this talent–after all, talents couldn't be cultivated.
But besides this, A'Diao tinkered with the corpses of the old eunuch and the three demon kings.
The old eunuch's legacy was naturally plundered, but A'Diao also dissected his body and found that his demonic seed had already withered.
"Ah, that scoundrel, afraid I'd figure something out, gave me a trash demonic seed. Such an old fellow, yet he was cannon fodder." A'Diao knew this demonic seed had no research value, which was a bit regrettable, but she still studied the old eunuch's body.
At least before this, the demonic seed's effect on him would be reflected in his physique, indirectly allowing her to understand information about demonic seeds.
But that was all.
A'Diao soon focused on creating the mutated substance.
And at this time… Dantai Ye had returned to the Tang Song Imperial Palace. He keenly sensed that those old fogeys from the Imperial Family were up to something. After a slight frown, he thought to himself: I must speed things up, otherwise, when those old monsters from the founding generation awaken, I might not be able to hide perfectly. If I'm seen through, it'll be over. I must convert those Sun-like substances into mutated substances before they awaken. By then, I will be even more terrifying than that Chen A'Diao.
The upper limit of a Human-Demon body far exceeded that of humans and demonic spirits.
Dantai Ye directly infiltrated the Imperial Family's secret vault…
On the other side, Daoguang Jingci, seemingly cultivating and recuperating in the palace, was actually observing the Imperial Family. Her account received a cryptic message–"A major change is coming to the palace. Be cautious."
Intelligent people don't need things spelled out.
Daoguang Jingci fell silent for a moment, put down the book, and sent a message to her clan.
The Imperial Family was formidable, but the old monsters hadn't awakened yet. The Great Elder and the others alone weren't enough to stop the cunning Dantai Ye. He wasn't greedy; after sneaking into the secret vault, he took an Undead Sky Lantern and even replaced it with a treasure. Ever since Chen A'Diao's cultivation skyrocketed, the Imperial Family had been terrified. After all, she had visited the secret vault before, and they feared this unscrupulous person would empty the entire vault. So, a group of old fogeys had jointly set up some mechanisms and restrictions. If a treasure was lost and the spiritual energy of the entire vault differed too much, it would trigger an alarm.
Dantai Ye naturally knew about this and usually wouldn't touch it. After all, these old fogeys of the Imperial Family were not easy to deal with. Now, he had no choice.
After Dantai Ye obtained the Undead Sky Lantern, he was about to rush back, but he encountered Lushan Academy and other factions requesting an audience, demanding that the court dispatch a second batch of troops to the Huaiguang Mountain Range.
Otherwise, once the demonic spirits in the mountain range overflowed into the waterways, Tang Song would be in peril!
The military department was also very anxious.
This wasn't surprising, as something had indeed happened in the Huaiguang Mountain Range. It was just that Dantai Ye hadn't expected to be forced by Chen A'Diao to take the Undead Sky Lantern… time had been delayed.
Another possibility was that Lushan Academy might know that Chen A'Diao was in trouble, which was why they were anxious and wanted to force all parties to unite and rescue her.
It was also within expectations, but it coincided with his inconvenient timing.
Dantai Ye had intended to send an avatar to handle it, but then he learned that Yu Xuanji was coming.
This was a headache.
Dantai Ye had no choice but to go personally.
Many ministers were also present in the hall, including Minister of Works Chen Xun. He exchanged a glance with Yu Xuanji and then subtly looked away.
Even with the eighty-fold time acceleration, A'Diao had only processed 13 of the 99 oval bodies.
This was a huge amount, but what made A'Diao's mentality crumble a bit was that her second mutation required an even larger amount.
Each oval body was compressed liquid, highly concentrated. Even so, A'Diao had exhausted 13 oval bodies, but she vaguely felt that the progress of her second mutation was already two-thirds complete, with one-third remaining.
This demand was huge, more than twenty times higher than the requirement for the first mutation.
A'Diao could only continue.
Racing against time!
Time passed silently. One hour outside was eighty hours inside!
In the secret chamber, after 10 days, A'Diao had consumed a total of 20 oval bodies. The total amount and destructive power of this Sun-like substance could annihilate over a hundred lesser Spirit Kings.
At this moment, A'Diao's mutation progress had reached its peak. Her aura was also changing. Soon, her skin, flesh, and bones emitted cracking sounds, and the genes within her body underwent another massive change.
This time, even Toilet saw a golden meridian appear in A'Diao's sea of consciousness. After it appeared, strands separated from its network and entered the two Books of Civilization floating above the sea of consciousness.
It seemed… to be faintly outlining words?
Holy crap!
Golden bloodline threads outlining words?
A'Diao and Toilet were extremely surprised, but it was also a pleasant surprise. A'Diao, with a surge of effort, broke through this layer of genetic shackles.
Mutation.
Second mutation!
Whoosh!
An invisible yet dense pressure emanated from her body. Her sea of consciousness suddenly surged violently. Having not undergone a qualitative change for a long time, it formed a vortex. Simultaneously, the changes deep within her genes also caused a massive transformation in A'Diao's body.
Everything was changing.
After an unknown amount of time, A'Diao ended her painful state. Lying on the ground, her fingers twitched slightly. The Sun-like toxins originally analyzed from the Sun-like substance automatically floated up and, under her finger's control, transformed into… a solid poison needle.
Toilet: "!!!"
Holy crap!
Manipulating elements into solid or liquid states was easy; Star-level cultivators could do it at will. But those were ordinary elements. Could they compare to Sun-like substances?
A'Diao could now essentially reorganize the molecules of substances at this level.
This talent was too terrifying.
At this moment, A'Diao's spiritual body stirred slightly.
"That scoundrel hasn't come back yet, but it's time to go out."
Having a time chamber was great; it was so efficient.
"I'll upgrade first."
Before leaving, A'Diao converted most of her resources into energy points. The amount was enormous, directly raising Toilet from level 25 to level 28.
Level: 28 (Current energy 0 stars / 15000 stars, requires 15000 stars to reach level 29. Note: Level 29 provides 30 million cubic meters of storage space and a 2000 cubic meter living space. Level 28 can automatically absorb ambient spiritual energy to upgrade all exchanged skills by +500 levels.)
Mental Power: 1200 stars.
Synchronized Spiritual Energy Release: 1000 stars.
Exchanged Skills:
…
Exchangeable Skills:
1: 《Notes on Material Reorganization and Analysis》 (A notebook from the Celestial Clan, recording content about the divine ability of reorganizing the source material molecules of the spiritual path. Exchange requires 1000 stars.)
Three levels, and it only gave one notebook? And the exchange cost was so high!
However, after careful consideration, A'Diao decided against exchanging it. She didn't have time to digest it now, and she would have to fight soon. She needed to save her energy.
Peak Grandmaster cultivation, her energy reserves were still far too small compared to these Spirit Kings.
In the Tang Song Palace, Dantai Ye had handled the rescue matter, expressing utmost concern for the missing cultivators and stating that the nation would definitely rescue them. The Imperial Family also had some sense; if Huaiguang collapsed, they wouldn't be able to eat their fill either. So, there wasn't too much obstruction on this matter. The problem was how to arrange the rescue.
The Imperial Family hoped Lushan Academy would take the lead and send more people. Lushan Academy had no objection to this but demanded that the Imperial Family also send more people…
The old patriarch of the Duanmu family sat like an old bell, watching the two sides engage in a verbal battle… Fortunately, it was finally settled.
After Dantai Ye handled this matter, he checked the time, then inconspicuously retreated in the guise of a puppet, and secretly prepared to traverse dimensional space to the demonic den…
After coming out, Toilet asked A'Diao what to do now: rescue people first or lie low and wait for Dantai Ye to walk into a trap.
A'Diao: "First, kill the husky."
She touched her neck, a disgusted expression on her face.
Toilet: "?"
In the dungeon.
Yin Yi was alone guarding A'Diao's decoy body. He was bored, but the blood flowing from her was too fragrant. He couldn't resist, so he got down from his chair and, drooling, approached A'Diao.
The decoy looked up, staring at him. "What do you want? Didn't you hear what he said when he left? Aren't you afraid he'll beat you to death?"
Yin Yi was displeased. "I'm his equal, not his subordinate. Besides, he can't beat me."
Heh! Maybe he couldn't beat him, but he'd definitely be killed by underhanded means.
A'Diao sneered. Yin Yi ignored her, suddenly lowered his head, and extended his long tongue, licking the blood from her neck, inch by inch.
She was disgusted too, her face full of disdain. "Let me give you a suggestion. Can you use a spell to collect the blood? Or I can cut my wrist and give you some blood. This is too disgusting."
"You find me disgusting?" Yin Yi was annoyed, but not truly angry. He looked A'Diao up and down. "But it's strange, you human, you seem sweeter than any human I've ever met. Even your blood is sweet. It really makes me want to eat you bite by bite."
After speaking, he used his tongue to lick her pierced collarbone, his tongue almost boring into her clothes.
A'Diao: "How about this, you transform into a young man over 18… you, in this little kid's form, it's quite morally transgressive."
Yin Yi: "?"
A'Diao: "Change into a handsome one, or even a woman is fine, as long as they're good-looking. Don't you demonic spirits have any good-looking ones?"
She was so arrogant.
Yin Yi chuckled coldly. "Overestimating yourself. You humans are ugly and unsightly. If my Demon King clan transforms, our beauty rivals that of the Celestial Clan. In the entire world, only you humans are the ugliest."
With that, he transformed with a bang into a person.
This person, A'Diao glanced at him once and said, "This one is barely acceptable."
If described with ancient poetry, it would probably be–"The gentleman arrives, in brocade and fox fur. His face like vermilion, he is indeed a lord."
The elegance of a gentleman, the desolate air of ancient winds returning–such an exceptional young master possessed both the demeanor esteemed by humans and the unique demonic charm of the demonic spirit race. He was indeed pleasing to the eye. So, when a person of such appearance pounced on her to lick her blood, A'Diao was noticeably less disgusted. She was just curious: "Who is this? Another demon king you know?"
Yin Yi's eyes flickered. "No."
A'Diao, however, deduced on her own, "This person is not on good terms with you, but his status is higher than yours. You are jealous of him, yet you acknowledge his prowess. If I'm not mistaken, this person is one of the outstanding ones among the twenty-four lesser demon kings, right?"
Yin Yi ignored her, panting and licking her blood like a madman. She was very weak and in great pain, moaning in agony. Hearing this moan, Yin Yi seemed to be touched. He suddenly grabbed her injured arm, licked the wound, his tongue touching the flesh. Unable to resist, his sharp canine teeth bit down.
In that instant, his eyes turned red.
He pinned her down in the bloody water and pounced. A'Diao's expression changed slightly, seemingly frightened by him. And at that moment, someone appeared.
"What are you doing! Who allowed you to touch her!"
The appearing Dantai Ye saw A'Diao, her clothes half-undone, being licked and bitten. His face immediately turned fierce, killing intent flaring, and he struck out suddenly…
This move was too insidious; a mass of black liquid directly enveloped Yin Yi.
Yin Yi was terrified and screamed. Just as he was about to counterattack, Dantai Ye followed up with another insidious ultimate move. It was pitch black, impossible to discern what it was. In his terror, Yin Yi shouted, "Dantai Ye, are you crazy! Just for a woman, I…"
He tried to send a message back to the Demon King Palace, but a terrifying mental attack came–a mental divine weapon of annihilation.
Powerful as Yin Yi was, his strength originally even slightly surpassed Dantai Ye's, but his brain wasn't as good as Dantai Ye's. He was the one who initially obtained the Sun-like substance resource, and even the subsequently hidden resources were only known to Dantai Ye. Otherwise, why do you think he would vaguely listen to the latter's words?
It should be known that although demonic spirits were not afraid of the initial Sun-like substance, that was in its normal gaseous light form. Now it was a highly concentrated compressed liquid, the damage was indescribable. Even Yin Yi was severely injured.
Just now, Yin Yi had made a misstep–lying on A'Diao, crazily drinking her blood and eating her flesh, like a young lad bewitched by a beautiful woman, he had momentarily lost his vigilance. This was why he was caught off guard by the suddenly appearing Dantai Ye, first poisoned by such a large amount of Sun-like substance, and then ambushed after being severely injured.
Then…
"No!!"
Yin Yi attempted to self-destruct but was further controlled by Dantai Ye, who directly used a confinement technique, followed by sealing his spirit core.
Yin Yi collapsed then, weak on the ground. In his daze, he saw his companion rush over, embrace the human woman like a treasure, and say.
"Chen A'Diao, in this world, besides me, Dantai Ye, no one can harm you."
"You are mine."
Yin Yi: "!!!"
A'Diao's expression mirrored Yin Yi's. On the verge of death, she looked incredulous. "It's you? You're actually a demon… No, you're a Human-Demon hybrid, a dark pawn planted by the demons in my Tang Song?!!"
She was clearly extremely shocked and furious.
But Dantai Ye caressed her cheek, removed his own mask, revealing his affectionate eyes. "Yes, I am a pawn, but I've gone mad. From a long time ago, I've been mad for you."
"A'Diao, submit to me, be my woman!"
"You lunatic! I am human, and I will die for humanity in this life! You are a Human-Demon, I will never yield even in death! Even if you get my body, you will never get my heart… Sob sob sob…"
Then she was pinned against the edge of the pool and kissed forcefully.
While kissing her, he even said, "For you, I even killed Yin Yi. Aren't you moved?"
A'Diao let out heart-pounding gasps, struggling and making sounds, "You madman… Aren't you afraid of being killed by those demon kings?"
"I'm not afraid. For you, I can kill another, countless demon kings! Human-Demons are the rulers of this world, and I am the king among Human-Demons!"
Yin Yi only remembered this scene before he died with his eyes open, unable to rest in peace.
Damn it, that dog and bitch pair!
That was his only thought before dying.
Once Yin Yi was completely dead… three seconds later, a large, chubby white ball flew out from the domineering and devilishly charming monarch Dantai Ye's body. Wasn't it Toilet?
Such a pure and flawless large porcelain ball displayed an emoji on its surface–a dazed and idiotic face.
It just watched the two people in front of it kissing passionately… a classic scene of a domineering CEO and his delicate little wife.
"Um, he's already dead. When are you going to finish? Is it really that interesting to put on a fake show with your own decoy body?" it couldn't help but ask, like a simple two-hundred-jin fatty.
But internally, it was collapsing, especially when A'Diao, transformed as Dantai Ye, was kissing A'Diao.
Wait, was that last sentence grammatically incorrect?
It felt like its eyes had gone blind.
Oh, Dantai Ye stopped, touched his reddened lips, and said thoughtfully, "I originally thought it wouldn't be interesting, but I didn't expect it to be somewhat interesting…"
Toilet: "?"
A'Diao: "Hey, do you think if I let my main body and avatar do… that, could I break the reproductive barrier and have a super awesome pure-blood Celestial Clan baby? One that inherits peerless beauty, extraordinary talent, and a super brain."
When she spouted nonsense, no one could be sure if it was true or false, not even Toilet knew if she was joking.
Toilet: "!!!"
What kind of perverted idea was this? Though it didn't understand, it was greatly shocked.
But A'Diao's old habit resurfaced; she was already mentally decorating a villa. "Same genes, no species barrier today, no ethical constraints, and no need to worry about a change of heart. Most importantly, you can make the other person look however you want. Oh, just thinking about it is wonderful… What's with that expression?"
She was only twenty, yet she was already thinking so far ahead.
Compared to her, many people in this world weren't even worth a feather.
But Toilet still felt like it had aged a lot. So, its emoji face contorted, and it changed the subject, "Why did you do this? Couldn't you have just killed him directly? Are you trying to slander Dantai Ye?"
A'Diao said casually, "It's fun."
Tch! Toilet didn't believe her for a second, knowing she definitely had some other trick up her sleeve. But A'Diao didn't explain further. After collecting Yin Yi's body and merging with the decoy for a bit to share the physical qualities of the second mutation, she split the decoy off again, letting it maintain its original physical state but with enhanced internal combat power. Then, she quickly cleaned up the traces, and her main body prepared to leave.
Where to?
"The husky is dead. The news of his death will automatically be sensed by other demon kings. A demon king will definitely come, and the closest one to here is undoubtedly the demon king Dantai Ye and the others feared most before."
He was already on his way.
Toilet suddenly understood: A'Diao wanted to frame Dantai Ye. But to make it more natural, she had specifically cut off Yin Yi's communication, so that the demon kings would investigate and find out for themselves, making it more believable.
And at this moment, A'Diao took out something.
It was a talisman.
Lady White Bone's mid-level demon king spirit core had been refined by her into a teleportation talisman.
Such a teleportation talisman was enough for her to break through the obstacles of spatial density and forcibly teleport within a certain range in this demonic den world.
A'Diao tapped her finger on her glabella, and the Eyes of the Yellow Springs appeared mysteriously. She was going to a place next.
To kill the next target.
In the demonic den world, within the Dark Forest, three lesser demon kings were currently conversing. Translating their language, it could be understood as follows:
"How is the demonic seed on that side performing?"
"Not bad, the feedback says everything is proceeding according to plan."
"If this demonic seed plan succeeds, it won't be long before we devour the human race."
"Heh, humans. Without the Celestial Clan's protection, they wouldn't have lasted long anyway…"
The three hadn't spoken much when they were all suddenly shocked.
"Yin Yi is dead!"
"Damn it!"
"It's in the far east! Isn't that where the entrance to the human world is… Who is closest to there? Could it be that someone from the human side has killed their way in?!"
They couldn't teleport there instantly, so they could only contact each other to see who was closest.
"Don't panic, Bai Jun has already gone over."
"But that's not right. If a human intruded, unless it's someone at the founder level, who could kill him so quickly without any major commotion? This isn't normal!"
Demon King Bai Jun ranked in the top seven among the 24 lesser demon kings. His strength was formidable, and his status was inherently higher than Yin Yi's and Dantai Ye's. He was originally going to devour human geniuses and incidentally take command of this demonic den affair. At this moment, he also sensed it. His face turned slightly cold, and he accelerated at full speed towards the underground palace area.
It was still a day and a half's flight to that location, but he could consume energy at full power to shorten it to half a day.
However, he didn't expect that in a dense forest by a stream fifty li away from him, a person was lying in ambush.
It was A'Diao.
After the second mutation, she could already sense the molecular movements of countless substances through the Eyes of the Yellow Springs. She had specifically focused her senses on the wind, and thus, from the wind, she saw a strong expert approaching. His flight caused fluctuations in the wind.
Like a butterfly flapping its wings across the vast sea, causing a tsunami.
A'Diao captured this person's existence through the changes in the wind and constantly monitored his movements.
How far away he was from her, which direction he flew in–all of this was under her control.
And amidst such microscopic and detailed control, her hands didn't stop moving. She was holding Yin Yi's corpse, extracting components and energy, and inputting them into her own body, performing various operations on herself.
Toilet: "What are you doing?"
A'Diao: "Killing Yin Yi could be done by surprise, taking advantage of the Sun-like substance. But this lesser demon king is different. He's stronger and more vigilant. So, I must face him head-on. The exposed energy must possess demonic properties."
That made sense.
A'Diao quickly finished these preparations and then began to manipulate the Sun-like substance, continuously reorganizing and compressing the liquid, transforming it into over a hundred poison needles. Each poison needle could easily pierce her strongest armor. How terrifying was that?
It should be known that after her second mutation, her fully dragonized physique was already comparable to a Great Spirit King's.
Yet these Sun-like poison needles seemed to ignore defense.
A'Diao carefully loaded these poison needles into the hidden weapon box of the extraordinary taboo item, the Pear Blossom Storm Needle, and then installed it in a certain location…
Not long after, the target, Bai Jun, appeared in A'Diao's ambush sight.
And he was constantly approaching.
Until the distance between the two was only three hundred meters…
In that instant, the Pear Blossom Storm Needle box controlled by A'Diao erupted.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, a dense rain of arrows shot towards Bai Jun like a waterfall.
There were many illusions; only 100 needles were real and deadly.
What level of assassination was this?
Terrifying level!
Demon King Bai Jun was instantly alarmed. His first reaction was to dodge and defend, then quickly lock onto the source of the attack, only to find a lifeless object.
Not good!
His defensive armor was instantly pierced by more than twenty terrifying Sun-like poison needles. They penetrated, entering his body.
Upon entering, they dissolved, turning into Sun-like liquid…
In the blink of an eye, Bai Jun's internal organs were injured, and he directly vomited blood.
Toilet: "???"
My Buddha, this is what you freaking call a frontal assault?
A'Diao darted out, explaining matter-of-factly, "That's right, it was a frontal launch. After those poison needles solidified, their hardness was comparable to the hardest ore. Wouldn't you say that's 'hard'?"
Toilet: "…"
When A'Diao darted out, she deliberately transformed into someone else's appearance. Then, after rushing out, she directly erupted with terrifying demonic qi and manipulated the spatial molecules of the surrounding space. In the instant Bai Jun was frantically suppressing the damage from the poison needles, she unleashed 1200 stars of mental power, plus most of the energy in her body…
Fusion!
An infinitely reorganized, terrifying dimensional space blade shot straight towards Bai Jun…
Bai Jun felt fear, because he sensed the space he was in being altered by changing spatial molecules. It was turning into a black hole, imprisoning him, and all spatial power was being drained away, forming a space-aspected sharp blade.
Swish!
Its appearance and disappearance could only be explained by the passage of time.
In that instant, he saw Dantai Ye's face.
"Dantai Ye!!"
Even though his body was imprisoned, he transformed into his true form, a terrifying twin-winged black dragon that expanded the space. With a dragon's roar from its open mouth, a beam of black light pierced through space.
Towards that dimensional space blade…
At this time, the real Dantai Ye had already returned to the underground palace and quietly entered the dungeon. Seeing only A'Diao hanging there alone, her clothes disheveled, he was immediately suspicious. Upon closer inspection, he saw bite marks on her, clearly made by Yin Yi.
His face darkened instantly. Suspicious, he suddenly grabbed A'Diao's neck.
"What happened? Where did Yin Yi go? Did you pull some trick again?"
But this A'Diao decoy had already fainted from excessive blood loss–Yin Yi had sucked too much blood.
Dantai Ye's eyes flickered. He felt that things were beyond his control. He instinctively wanted to escape, but he was unwilling to abandon the resources hidden here, so his eyes darted around.
Now he had three choices.
1. Kill Chen A'Diao directly, then run.
2. First check the most important Sun-like resources, take as much as he could.
3. Use the Undead Sky Lantern to manipulate Chen A'Diao, obtain the technique, then go take the Sun-like resources.
But the first point was to save time and maximize his chances of survival. The second and third points would undoubtedly waste a lot of time, and he might not be able to escape in the end.
He was cunning and cautious. He suspected either Yin Yi had been tricked by Chen A'Diao and something had happened, or Demon King Bai Jun's side had found out something, and Yin Yi, worried about exposure, had run away early…
Regardless of which it was, he didn't want to be exposed. As long as there was no absolute evidence, given his special status, there was still room for maneuver.
And even if the resources below were found by the demon kings, they wouldn't be able to use them.
As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.
Dantai Ye decisively decided to take A'Diao away. However, just at that moment, he sensed a terrifying shockwave.
Boom!!!
The entire cave mountain trembled violently.
Many demonic spirits in the cave, as well as the imprisoned Qing Zan and others, sensed it. Shocked, they didn't know what had happened.
"A dragon's roar, was that a dragon's roar just now?"
"Yes, a dragon's roar. Could it be A'Diao?"
"That's not right, isn't she locked up inside? This dragon's roar came from afar."
"It should be the demonic spirit race. The demonic spirit race has dragons, both Jiao-dragons and demonic dragons, and they are basically demon king level… Could it be demon kings fighting?"
Everyone discussed animatedly.
Qing Zan, however, secretly guessed: Is A'Diao outside slaughtering a dragon? A dragon slaughtering a dragon?
Deep in the dungeon, Dantai Ye felt his blood run cold.
He certainly knew there were dragons among the demon kings, like Bai Jun for example. And such a mournful dragon's roar indicated he had been attacked.
Could it be that Kunlun was still alive and had specifically come to save Chen A'Diao?
That was too terrifying.
Today's changes were too bizarre. He didn't know what exactly had happened, but sudden events always heralded trouble. He vaguely felt it was extremely unfavorable for him. He had to ensure his alibi, absolutely not revealing that he had returned to the demonic den during that period.
He still had the cover of his Tang Song monarch identity–before this, he was still in Tang Song discussing state affairs with Yu Xuanji and others.
So he quietly took A'Diao's decoy and directly traversed space.
Little did he know that A'Diao's decoy was inwardly smiling: This is exactly what I want, for you to hide your tracks, because this way it proves that the one who ambushed Bai Jun outside was you, my lord!
Such a cunning and cautious mentality could actually be exploited.
At this moment, Bai Jun lay on the ground, his aura dissipating, but A'Diao was also a bloody mess, her aura weak.
This wasn't faked; she was indeed severely injured. But she had concealed her own vital energy and blood, instead leaving behind Dantai Ye's DNA material.
Toilet: "Where did you get that? Didn't you say this person never leaves any flaws or traces?"
A'Diao: "When he princess-carried me, he left it."
Dantai Ye, at that time, hadn't been perverted enough to think that she, in that state, still had the spare capacity to leave his traces… With that carry, he took advantage, but A'Diao didn't lose out either.
Toilet: "…"
She was truly toxic.
Soon, A'Diao rolled up Bai Jun's corpse and used another super teleportation talisman… She returned to Qing Zan and the others. A black wind swept through, and all the demonic spirits, Qing Zan, and the others were swept into her living space by this demonic wind.
Vanished without a trace.
What she would do next was unknown, but for now, this was definitely just a prelude.
It was just that this prelude was overly subtle and brutal.
Toilet: "…"
Decisive, smooth as flowing water, watertight, and utterly deranged.
This peerless old schemer, not yet 20 years old, had taken out two lesser demon kings through sneaky assassinations.
All within less than an hour.
And in less than an hour, the incredibly impressive demon kings of the Demon King Palace successively received two death notices.
Shock.
The entire demonic den world was shaken.
Too terrifying. Was the sky falling?
Could it be that a terrifying demon had infiltrated their world?
Could it be that Kunlun, that pervert, had entered again?
That old pervert, why wasn't he dead yet?!!!
