Sun-Disc Moon-Melting, Destiny Grafting
"Regret"... As Chosen of God servant who once served the "God of Destiny" and who has devoured the souls of millions in this Prison Mountain Realm and glimpsed their "life", Zhu Qiansi is no stranger to "Regret".
Rather, in Zhu Qiansi's understanding, "Regret" and "Destiny" are closely related... and are the most common companions of Destiny.
Living Beings are always inevitably fooled by Destiny when making choices... and in those unpredictable circumstances, after making a "Error" choice that leads to unacceptable consequences, "Regret" will follow.
However... because Zhu Qiansi's sample size was large enough, after reviewing many people's "Regret," she inevitably discovered something...
Compared to the "Error choice" they made and the "consequences" of that choice, most people are not actually defeated by the "consequences" and the "Error"... but rather by the "Regret" that followed, which pushes them into the Abyss of despair.
Regret is often more destructive than the things that cause Regret.
Based on this... after the fall of the Deity she served, while planning and living in the Prison Mountain Realm, Zhu Qiansi also had some ideas—if one day she could reshape the Authority of Fate, or be fortunate enough to ascend to a divine position, perhaps one of the Authority she would choose was "Regret".
Of course, what Zhu Qiansi didn't expect was that she would be dragged underground by the founder of the Taiqing Sect, and then encounter a mysterious female fist-wielding woman who was just passing by and shattered her dream of Becoming a God with three punches.
Even though Becoming a God is now hopeless, the research on "Regret" back then was not entirely useless.
Just like now...
Even when facing Great Demon of the same Divine Rank as oneself, such as the Dark Prison Snake Yaoguai who is also known as the "Demon Lord," "Regret" can still be used to instantly Combat Power the opponent.
Even Great Demon, in her long past, in those years of cultivation, fighting, and survival, accumulated a great deal of "Regret".
Now, the overwhelming feelings of Regret have rendered the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord almost incapable of taking any effective action!
Her breathing was unusually heavy, her eyes were clouded with a thick gray, and she dared not make any move—if she tried to do anything, she felt as if she was about to fall into an abyss of no return.
Regret from the past has devoured all the possibilities for her future!
"Damn it... damn it..."
The Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord clutched his head, blood continuously flowing from his body.
Zhu Qiansi raised her hand, spread her fingers, and reached for the top of the other person's head.
However... just as Zhu Qiansi was about to touch her...
"Bass--!"
The Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord has made his move!
The long black whip coiled around Zhu Qiansi's wrist like a predatory snake, freezing her wrist in place.
"Ah Ping, go help Ah Xian."
Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord spoke in a low voice.
The Gu-Heart Soul-Seizing Demon Lord nodded, then transformed into a white streak of light in the air, engulfing the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord.
"The poison planted in the soul is indeed potent, befitting the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord. However... although Sister Xian knows your methods, I can still undo it."
"To say this is the most Mysterious Poison in the world... is rather laughable. Even if Sister Xian's blood poison isn't, your tricks don't qualify either."
Gu-Heart Soul-Seizing Demon Lord spoke, she reached out and gently stroked the trembling eyes of the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord —she did not remove the "Regret" from his body, but instead... injected a white, eerie light into the head of the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord.
Then, a cold white light coursed through the body of the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord, causing her consciousness to gradually fade away.
Zhu Qiansi glanced at it and said, "'Fighting poison with poison'... not a bad idea."
She saw through the Gu-Heart Soul-Seizing Demon Lord's intentions—he possessed the ability to bewitch people and manipulate souls, and he was using a talent similar to her innate poison.
She used her own innate poison to dispel the consciousness of the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord, which had been devoured by "Regret." After that... Regret and the consciousness of the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord dissipated together. Then, she could undo the poison she had planted, and naturally, the Jueshan Blood-Poison Demon Lord would be restored to his original state.
This is indeed a solution—even Zhu Qiansi herself hadn't expected that there was such a way to cure her poison of Regret.
"You'd better not be distracted by my two sisters... Your opponent now is me—it would be very dangerous if you were to lose focus while fighting me."
Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord spoke, he raised and tightened his Right Hand, which was holding a long whip, and suddenly pulled Zhu Qiansi in his direction.
Zhu Qiansi floated lightly through the air like a kite towards Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord, and spoke as well.
"You should be worried—your two younger sisters can't help you, and now you don't even have the advantage of numbers. What do you think...?"
Zhu Qiansi and Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord were almost face to face.
"Whoosh!"
Hundreds of spider Spider Silk almost "pierced" towards Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord, accompanied by Zhu Qiansi's icy voice.
Do you think you can survive against me?
In response to Zhu Qiansi, Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord raised his other hand.
"It's nothing more than the 'Karma Threads' supernatural power. Did you think I wasn't on guard?"
Black light flowed from the tip of her outstretched finger, condensing into a Black Lotus that bloomed with an ominous aura.
The Black Lotus bloomed, spun, and grew larger, almost engulfing Zhu Qiansi's entire figure.
The Lotus has twelve petals, each seemingly embodying the deepest darkness and malice in the world.
This is evil from "heaven and earth, nature"!
Living Beings are born to harm the Heavenly Dao in order to benefit themselves—birds and beasts devour other Living Beings, and plants and fruits absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth have never been one to take from Living Beings at will, especially in this Prison Mountain Realm, within the Two Mountains and Six Hells... Yaomo, plants, wild beasts, and ordinary people alike can all deeply feel the "evil" that heaven and earth inflict upon them.
And at this moment, this evil is concentrated in this blooming Dark Prison Black Lotus.
A cold, dark malice locked onto Zhu Qiansi, stiffening her body and sluggish her soul, as if she were experiencing hunger, cold, and disease simultaneously.
Her body was unharmed, but it had already begun to... "decay".
Cracked skin, brittle hair, muscle atrophy, slowed blood flow, mental confusion...
Even if 'Destiny' has the power to erase 'the damage you' have suffered,'... you can't completely negate that effect, right?
The voice of the Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord rang out.
She had just witnessed how Zhu Qiansi eliminated the effects of the "blood poison," so naturally she wouldn't repeat the same mistake.
Zhu Qiansi looked at Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord and spoke again, her voice somewhat hoarse.
"A very powerful tactic... it could indeed hurt me."
"But... if it's about 'competing with me in efficiency,' you're far inferior."
As Zhu Qiansi spoke, she clenched her fist so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
As Zhu Qiansi clenched her fist... outside the Black Lotus, an overwhelming amount of spider Spider Silk surged forth like a tidal wave, like a volley of arrows fired by a million ancient soldiers drawing their bows. Even the sky was faintly obscured, dyed the white of the Spider Silk.
But when these Spider Silk fall...
Yet they couldn't even touch the Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord Yue!
More than ten Black Lotus bloomed around her, completely concealing the Spider Silk!
"The Karma Threads Divine Ability is very strong... but only if you can reach me first."
As Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord spoke, Zhu Qiansi nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that is indeed a flaw in my Innate Divine Ability... at least it's a flaw I've had since I became Yaomo."
"So... I've tried many ways to make up for this deficiency."
As Zhu Qiansi finished speaking, Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.
She looked down in shock and saw a dark, sharp blade piercing her abdomen.
No...
That wasn't a sharp blade.
Zhu Qiansi's light, airy voice rang out.
"Pan Ri... Although I am called 'Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord,'... besides having a thousand eyes and a thousand silk threads, I am also a spider."
Spiders, on the other hand, have eight pairs of legs.
Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord looked at Zhu Qiansi —one hand was entangled by a long whip, while the other hand was manipulating the Karma Threads.
But...
At that moment, her robes were torn, and out sprang forth from her back... hideous and sharp spider legs.
One of them pierced her lower abdomen.
Furthermore, these spider legs were wrapped with layers upon layers of Karma Threads.
A large amount of Spider Silk surged into the wound, as if trying to replace her internal organs and blood with Spider Silk.
Currently, Zhu Qiansi, under the influence of the "corrupt" Evil of Heaven and Earth, has almost turned into a withered tree.
Yet she maintained her cold and arrogant demeanor.
"It's not just your sister... you've also become lax, Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord."
As Zhu Qiansi spoke, the Karma Threads instantly perceived the other party's past, locking onto that distant past, that little Snake Yaoguai that had not yet taken human form.
Then, the silk threads were manipulated, and the previously "predetermined Destiny" shifted slightly.
But...
At that moment, Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord suddenly laughed—his dark eyes, which looked no different from those of a human, revealed vertical slits of scarlet and golden heterochromatic pupils as he laughed, displaying an inhuman allure and charm.
"Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord... I've already said, your 'Karma Threads' supernatural power is quite ordinary."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Qiansi could feel...
The severe blow she suffered through Destiny and the past was not to the current Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord.
Instead, in the vast, Dark Prison, there was a small snake that had only recently become a demon...
The twist of Destiny has been grafted onto another Snake Yaoguai!
Zhu Qiansi looked at Sun-Disc Moon-Melting Saint Lord, who stuck out his long, thin tongue and tilted his head slightly to one side.
"Perhaps you were once the most powerful Yaomo in the Prison Mountain Realm, but now, you are... obsolete."
