Chapter 124: Golden Canary, a Beauty Beyond Compare

Chapter 124: Golden Canary, a Beauty Beyond Compare

After sharing robes with Qi Yuan, Xiao Jia's blessing granted him a towering height of nearly a hundred zhang.

For a Supreme Being, a giant over a kilometer tall was nothing to be concerned about; a mere wave of the hand could suppress them.

However, for some unknown reason, when facing the blood-red armored giant with blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent, a sense of fear suddenly arose in their hearts.

Lan Mei Supreme Being forcefully suppressed the feeling of fear and coldly laughed as he looked at Qi Yuan, "We have treasures crafted by the Great Supreme Being, integrating offense and defense. You... even with the group of Supreme Beings behind you, can't stop us!

In the future, the South will surely lose in the North-South battle, and you will undoubtedly die!"

Lan Mei Supreme Being was already preparing to flee.

The other Supreme Beings present shared the same thought.

After all, over a hundred Supreme Beings in the early stage were simply too terrifying.

Qi Yuan held a broken sword, resembling a towering hellish Death God.

His cold and emotionless eyes swept across the more than twenty Supreme Beings.

His voice became even more fiendish, and he muttered, "Many people can't see the future, but they've already witnessed it."

The massive broken sword exuded a fiendish aura, and a blood-red aura enveloped it.

Qi Yuan raised his sword and slashed it forward.

The Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon.

As he swung his sword, he roared.

"This is your future!"

Endless blood rain poured from the sword, resembling a torrential downpour, landing on the bodies of the twenty-seven Supreme Beings.

Sheep Mix Supreme Being and Ning Tou were unaffected by this.

Greed, pride, gluttony, lust, and other emotions were mixed in the blood rain, stirring the hearts of the Supreme Beings.

The Supreme Beings on the field were initially bewildered, then filled with fear.

"You... what is this?" Lan Mei Supreme Being's face was filled with horror.

The treasures crafted by the Great Supreme Being granted them integrated offense and defense, and even the Primordial Divine Ability of the Great Supreme Being couldn't breach their defense.

However, the previous sword strike had landed on their bodies.

Lan Mei Supreme Being's face twisted in terror as he had just finished speaking.

Then, something terrifying happened.

A horrifying flesh tumor suddenly bulged out on his back, tearing his robe.

The tumor continued to swell, growing as large as a millstone.

Suddenly, the tumor seemed to be pierced by a fingernail, and yellow liquid sprayed out as a demon with a twisted face emerged.

The demon's eyes were filled with greed and a desire to feed.

It crouched on Lan Mei Supreme Being's shoulder, continuously devouring the flesh tumor.

This scene wasn't limited to Lan Mei Supreme Being.

The other Supreme Beings were experiencing the same.

Demons burst out of their bodies, like parasites living within, consuming their hosts.

Some Supreme Beings grimaced, twisting their bodies like beasts rolling on the ground.

Others tore at themselves, trying to peel off their skin, as if that would provide some relief.

The scene was eerie, terrifying, and utterly horrifying!

"Demon, you're a demon!"

The mid-stage Supreme Being cultivators could barely speak, their eyes filled with confusion and fear as they witnessed Qi Yuan's terrifying figure.

"Spare me... I'll be your dog!" another Supreme Being struggled to say.

The towering blood-red giant shadow looked down at the mad Supreme Beings on the field.

He calmly said, "This is the consequence of opposing me."

The hundred Supreme Beings behind him had horrified expressions, and upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, their hearts trembled.

The scene before them completely exceeded their understanding.

They had only witnessed the mysterious and revered Blood Lord, whom they respected immensely, transform into a blood-red giant.

He drew his sword against the more than twenty Supreme Beings and slashed, and blood rain fell.

Something terrifying occurred; the heart demons of those Supreme Beings were fully awakened. Even the most powerful Supreme Beings became helpless, like children, as the demons devoured them.

With the Primordial Divine Ability, over twenty Supreme Beings were effortlessly slain, and they had no means to resist.

This scene left them in awe and horror.

The Blood Lord was not born sacred and divine; he was a Heaven and Demon God!

The crowd swallowed hard and remained silent.

Among them, Sheep Mix Supreme Being's body trembled.

After becoming a Supreme Being, this was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.

His spine tingled, and his face was filled with ecstatic joy.

He stepped forward and roared, "Blood Lord, your might reigns supreme!"

At this moment, he didn't resemble a Supreme Being but rather a most sycophantic lackey.

Qi Yuan didn't pay attention to Sheep Mix Supreme Being but focused on the more than twenty Supreme Beings.

At this moment, those Supreme Beings were in excruciating pain.

The terrifying power of the Supreme Beings, capable of destroying a city, caused them to die in agony.

Qi Yuan's experience points were rapidly increasing.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Supreme Beings are indeed worthy of their title."

The surge in experience points was far more satisfying than those gained from the Earth Myth demons.

After a dozen breaths, the Supreme Beings on the field were completely defeated.

The scene, as terrifying as a demon realm, vanished, and Qi Yuan's level stabilized at 148.

As cultivation progressed, the gap between small realms became more significant, requiring an endless amount of time to refine.

He was only two levels away from the mid-stage Supreme Being.

Qi Yuan didn't need to worry; he just needed to keep killing, and his experience points would continue to rise.

Of course, this was just about levels.

Mastering the Primordial Divine Ability, from Time's End to Micro Level, required personal effort.

Qi Yuan grinned and scanned the crowd, "Do you understand now? Do you know how to kill?"

The previous battle had been drawn-out and tedious, with no significant progress.

Qi Yuan's approach was clean and efficient, slaying with a single sword strike.

"We understand," the Supreme Beings quickly replied.

Wang Gai was also among the crowd, his heart filled with terror.

Sheep Mix Supreme Being, on the other hand, wore a sycophantic smile, "Compared to Blood Lord's sword strike that slew twenty-seven Supreme Beings, our battles as Supreme Beings are like children's squabbles."

Qi Yuan accepted the flattery, and his gaze finally settled on the solitary Ning Tou, a playful smile on his face, "You're not leaving?"

Ning Tou tightly gripped the chains, her gaze fixed on the blood-red figure. The hint of terror in her eyes gradually faded, "If you don't speak, how dare I leave?"

Qi Yuan calmly replied, "If you had left earlier, I probably wouldn't have been able to stop you."

Ning Tou's strength surpassed that of Zi Dao Ren.

Of course, if Qi Yuan truly intended to stop her, he could have.

But, there was no need for him to pay such a heavy price.

His feelings towards this NPC, Ning Tou, were rather complex.

Ning Tou looked at Qi Yuan, her hands still clutching the chains tightly. Her expression was somewhat unnatural, as if suppressing something—perhaps fear, or something else.

"Your slaughter of the Great Supremes has also saved my life. As a mere woman, I have no means to repay you..."

Qi Yuan interrupted Ning Tou. He slowly asked, "Do you know of the Blood Palace?"

Ning Tou shook her head in confusion.

"Do you know of the Blood Lord?"

Ning Tou shook her head again.

"Do you know of the Golden Canary? She's a very haughty and vain girl. I've been searching for her." Qi Yuan looked at Ning Tou, and a hint of gentleness flashed in his blood-red eyes.

[Ning Tou, 197, Palace Lord of Tianxin Palace, one of the cursed Northern Demon Thirteen Fiends.]



Ning Tou shook her head. "I don't know her... She must be very important to you, right?"

"Yes, I've been searching for her." Qi Yuan said, "I happened to save your life, and you don't need to repay me. If you ever meet her, tell her that I'm in No Return City... waiting for her."

Qi Yuan's gaze was profound.

Ning Tou looked at Qi Yuan and replied, "Words cannot express my gratitude. I will help you search for this person!"

After a long while, she suddenly asked, "Have we met before, or why do I feel a sense of familiarity?"

"Perhaps in a dream," Qi Yuan laughed heartily.

After his laughter, he scanned the other Supremes present.

"The events of today are bound by the Heart Demon Oath. Do you understand?" The other Supremes quickly and decisively swore the oath without hesitation.

Ning Tou did the same.

"The Heart Demon Oath has been sworn. You may leave." Qi Yuan spoke frankly to Ning Tou.

Originally, Qi Yuan recalled the 'humiliation' he had endured in the underground palace, almost being forced to call someone 'mother'.

He had also planned to pressure Ning Tou, this Great Supreme, to call him 'father' before letting her go.

But in the end, he thought it was too extreme and didn't fit his image as a cool, domineering Blood Lord.

Ning Tou glanced at Qi Yuan, her hands still tightly gripping the chains, and her figure transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from sight.

After an unknown period, Ning Tou descended into the vast desert. She looked back at the blood and flesh within the chains and muttered, "Husband, the Golden Canary must be a very adorable girl."

As she spoke, she covered her left cheek with her hand.

"She must be much prettier than my ugly face."

She took one last, deep look behind her, and with her gaze no longer lingering, she transformed into a beam of light and vanished.

...

Three years later.

In Great Sorrow City, Yun He finally arrived, his long robe embroidered with cranes stained with blood. His aura was unstable.

Over the past few years, he had been rushing towards No Return City.

On his way, he encountered the Demon Crocodile, the first general under the Supreme Being.

The two naturally glared at each other with intense rivalry.

A fierce battle ensued, lasting for years without a clear victor, both sustaining injuries before parting ways.

At this moment, Yun He's face was as pale as paper, and his aura remained unstable.

He sat in the palace, his expression filled with confusion.

"Where is my junior sister?" he asked.

A Supreme Being from Great Sorrow City emerged, his face respectful. "Reporting to Supreme Yun He, your junior sister, Huang Mengling, left Great Sorrow City with an urgent matter a few years ago." This Supreme Being's strength was merely at the early stage.

"What about the Governor of No Return City?" Yun He asked again.

"There are some matters in No Return City, and the Governor has gone there," the Supreme Being respectfully replied.

A complex expression flashed in Yun He's eyes, and he continued, "How is No Return City now?"

The Supreme Being hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I've been in seclusion, so I'm not very familiar with the current situation in No Return City. It's probably similar to a few years ago, with a few Supremes present."

Yun He's expression remained unchanged, and after a while, he slowly said, "You may leave."

The Supreme Being bowed and left the palace.

In the empty palace, only Yun He remained.

A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. "Something seems... strange."

"If I remember correctly, the Governor of Great Sorrow City is Miruo Zunzheng, and his father is Mi Kong Dazunzheng!"

After arriving in Great Sorrow City, he gradually sensed something amiss.

He vaguely felt the presence of several terrifying auras lurking within the city.

They were all Great Supremes!

This was highly problematic.

"Could it be... that the news from No Return City... is all fake, and this is a trap set for me?" Yun He's expression turned grim.

If this were true, it would mean that Mi Kong Dazunzheng had betrayed the South and joined the North.

The situation in the South would become even more dire.

After all, out of the Ten Thousand Eight Thousand Cities, more than half had already fallen.

Only one in ten remained.

The betrayal of a Great Supreme could shake the entire situation.

If he were to be surrounded and killed, the arm of the White Emperor, his master, would be further weakened.

"I must... leave this place." Yun He felt that there was great danger here, and he needed to leave quickly.

However, the question of how to leave was a significant problem.

After all, if they were plotting against him, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Yun He's face was filled with worry.

At this moment, deep within Great Sorrow City, several Great Supremes were whispering.

"Supreme Yun He has arrived. What about our plan?"

"Hmph, continue with it. If he disrupts our plan, he'll stay in Great Sorrow City forever!"

"He's just one Great Supreme. He can't change the overall situation!"

...

Meanwhile, in No Return City, Qi Yuan lazily lounged in a grandmaster's chair, his broken sword slicing through the demons on the conveyor belt.

In the Windflow Realm, Qi Yuan had already reached the Supreme Mid Stage according to the realm's standards.

"Having many subordinates is indeed beneficial," Qi Yuan couldn't help but marvel.

Currently, the number of Supreme Beings in the Blood Palace had already approached two thousand.

Every day, a large number of Supreme Beings would venture out, capturing countless demonic beasts for Qi Yuan to slay.

Qi Yuan's experience points skyrocketed.

"It's a pity that as my level increases, my comprehension of Primordial Energy seems to lag..."

In this realm, to reach the Supreme Mid Stage, one needed to enhance their comprehension of Primordial Divine Abilities.

Qi Yuan, on the other hand, only needed to level up.

However, his Primordial Divine Ability couldn't level up through gaining experience; it also required personal comprehension.

Fortunately, countless Sin Origins continuously accumulated, and Qi Yuan's first Primordial Divine Ability, the Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon, had reached a terrifying level.

The quantity... was too vast.

It was more than he could ever use.

With this Divine Ability, he had also attained the Minute Entry level.

But for the Great Forgetfulness Heart Sutra, there was no progress; he was still at the Time End Level.

"It seems my talent is truly lacking. If not for this game, I'd just be a small fry in the Canglan Realm, probably unable to even enter the gates of the Divine Light Sect."

Qi Yuan felt disappointed.

He often attempted to comprehend the Great Forgetfulness Heart Sutra, but every time, the next day, he would forget the previous day's progress.

How was he supposed to comprehend it like this?

"It's too difficult, too hard! This game is too challenging to play!" Qi Yuan sighed.

The Great Forgetfulness Heart Sutra was not something a mortal could easily learn.

If even the Minute Entry level was this hard, what about the Engraved level?

What if he were to engrave the Great Forgetfulness Heart Sutra onto his physical body or divine soul? Qi Yuan suspected he might become mentally impaired.

"Big brother, big brother! The Miruo Supreme from Great Sorrow City has come to pay his respects!" Chen Huan entered the underground palace, urgently addressing Qi Yuan.

"Can't you see I'm tightening a screw? Go away," Qi Yuan waved him off.

He couldn't be bothered with some Miruo Supreme.

"Big brother, Miruo Supreme's father is Mi Kong Dazun, a Great Supreme!" Chen Huan emphasized the presence of a Great Supreme.

Upon hearing this, a smile crept onto Qi Yuan's lips. "Finally, a high-level NPC has appeared?"

The appearance of a high-level NPC could be a good thing or a bad thing.

Regardless, for Qi Yuan, it wasn't a big deal.

After all, it was just a game.

"Fine, I'll see this Miruo Supreme and find out what he's up to."

He also wanted to see if Miruo would become his enemy.

If so, it would be thrilling.

After several dozen breaths, footsteps approached.

The underground palace was dimly lit, with flickering candlelight.

A man in a green robe entered, his face exuding an air of nobility, typical of someone from a prestigious family.

Miruo Supreme stepped forward, gazing at the blood robe in the underground palace, and said with reverence, "Miruo pays his respects to the Blood Lord."

Qi Yuan continued to admire the adorable demonic beast, paying no attention to Miruo Supreme, and asked, "Make it quick, I'm busy."

Despite being ignored, Miruo Supreme's face showed no discontent. Instead, he said, "Miruo has come with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to inform the Blood Lord."

"Oh?" Qi Yuan became interested and finally turned his attention to Miruo Supreme. "If it's not a grand opportunity, I won't be satisfied."

The current Qi Yuan was only interested in grand things.

He had always wanted to refine a massive object and turn it into his Golden Elixir.

Only then might he, with his Golden Elixir, challenge the Bright Palace.

"The Blood Lord is innately sacred, having created over a thousand Supreme Beings. This act has truly shocked the world.

My father, Mi Kong Dazun, is one of the few giants in Dragon Snow City." Miruo Supreme spoke with enthusiasm.

"Get to the point," Qi Yuan grew impatient.

"My father has gathered like-minded individuals who are willing to serve under the Blood Lord as the ruler of the world. The Blood Lord, who can assist in breaking through to the Supreme Being realm, is worthy of being the ruler of the world.

No White Emperor or Supreme can compare to the Blood Lord."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan smiled.

Playing a game, and now an NPC wants to bestow him with the yellow robe?

Miruo Supreme continued, "Although the Blood Palace is powerful, it lacks Supreme Mid Stage Beings and Great Supremes.

My father, Mi Kong Dazun, is willing to lead the Great Supremes and serve under the Blood Lord, pledging their loyalty."

Miruo Supreme's attitude was extremely respectful.

"Anything else?" Qi Yuan asked.

"I have a sister who is three hundred years old and beautiful.

My sister has always admired the Blood Lord, and my father is willing to send my sister to the Blood Palace for the Blood Lord to take as his concubine."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression became intriguing.

This NPC knows how to play the game, even offering to send his sister.

However, Qi Yuan said, "Currently, I'm not interested in becoming the ruler of the world. As for your sister, I've never even met her."

His words were filled with rejection.

Hearing this, Miruo Supreme's eyes showed disappointment.

It seemed like he wouldn't get what he wanted.

However, Miruo Supreme continued, "In half a month, it will be the time for the Blood Lord's preaching. May I have the opportunity to observe the preaching in No Return City?"

Qi Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "You may. Now, leave."

"Thank you, Blood Lord," Miruo Supreme didn't waste any time and left immediately.

In the vast palace, only Qi Yuan and the demonic beast on the transmission belt remained.

Qi Yuan muttered to himself, "They're all old foxes after a thousand years."

He looked at the demonic beast, a smile on his face, and said two completely unrelated sentences, "The pig has grown fat, and its wings have hardened."
