What Dignity Do You Have Before Me? Soul Sacrifice? Has This Bug Gone Mad?

I suppose, I can probably hold out. After all, I've been cultivating an invincible conviction since I was a child.

Xu Qing is invincible under the heavens!!

Waaahhh!!

What is wrong with this human!?

Is he even a normal person?

What kind of human soul master knows that Brother is a million-year soul beast and still acts so fearless, not taking Brother seriously in the slightest?

Brother doesn't want to die, Brother wouldn't dare to self-destruct, waaaah...

But this human's spiritual sea is so strange!!

Once Brother entered, I couldn't get back out!

Who has a spiritual sea that looks like this? Aren't they all pitch black, with faint lights flickering occasionally like a starry night sky?

But why is it as bright as day in here? And the spiritual purity at the very center of this sea...

Just how pure is this guy's will!?

At that moment, Xu Qing's left hand lit up, an ice-blue pentagram manifested in the air, and a cone-shaped piece of ice marrow appeared.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm recognized it at a single glance!

"Ten... ten... ten thousand years!? No! It can't be, but... but this aura, this is Mystic Ice Marrow!?"

Its worm face was already bruised black and blue, though Xu Qing wasn't sure why a spiritual entity could even simulate such injuries.

Is it trying to feign weakness to make me lower my guard?

Heh, instead of trying to leave, it's actively approaching me?

"Don't make such a fuss, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. You rose to power precisely because of this Mystic Ice Marrow—that treasure all ice-attribute soul beasts dream of, the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow—step by step, no..."

Xu Qing carved the Mystic Ice Marrow in his hand into the shape of a cup. The falling ice shavings were absorbed by the spiritual sea; after all, it was all condensed from his own soul power.

"You are a million-year soul beast that was eaten bite by bite."

Three soul rings emerged around Xu Qing: purple, purple, black!!

His third soul ring had actually shattered the configuration set by the Sea God Tang San ten thousand years ago!!

It even tore apart the theories of that Great Master who had just taught seven gods!!!

Following that, the three soul rings merged and blended together, slowly dripping into the cup and transforming into liquid ice marrow.

In an instant.

A world-shaking, exquisite fragrance permeated the entire spiritual sea!

"Aaaaaah!! This is ice marrow! Ice marrow!! Give it to me! Give it to me!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's eyes bulged out, bloodshot and gasping like an ox.

"Haa... haa... Grandpa, Grandpa! Let me have a taste! Just one sip!!"

"I'll do anything, Grandpa! If you had told me you had a second martial soul earlier, I would have had to be insane to choose that piece of trash outside with innate soul power level one!!"

It completely lost all self-control, wriggling through the air toward Xu Qing.

Its narrow worm-mouth gaped open and shut, drooling saliva that contained incredibly pure spiritual energy!!

"How disgusting..."

Xu Qing stepped back in disgust, downed the ice marrow in the cup, and then controlled his spiritual energy to toss the remaining essence into the scorching core at the center of his spiritual sea.

Sizzle...

It was burned into nothingness, leaving behind only pure spiritual energy.

Of course, even so, Xu Qing couldn't shake his lingering resentment. He decided to dilute the spiritual liquid made from the creature's drool and turn it into an injection.

A reward for his underlings!!

Hahahaha, worship me!

Your Brother Xu always thinks of you when there's something good.

"Haa~~"

Xu Qing crushed the Mystic Ice Marrow, stepped on it right in front of the gluttonous worm, and then kicked it over.

"Have a taste. See if there's any difference from the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow you've eaten before."

With that, Xu Qing crossed his arms, watching the red-eyed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lick the ice marrow that bore his footprint.

"Is it so good you're speechless?"

"Wuuu-waa-wuuu... delicious, it's so fragrant!!!"

"More! I want more!! Grandpa! No! Master!!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm twisted its barrel-shaped waist, flailing its limbs, its voice becoming hysterical.

The scene was somewhat reminiscent of the anti-drug documentaries Xu Qing had watched in his past life.

Damn, is my Mystic Ice Marrow really this overpowered?

No... it should be the effects of those soul skills, combined with the result of ring fusion...

But this shouldn't be right. You're a million-year spirit-attribute soul beast, how is your mental resistance this low?

Tsk... I almost forgot. You're just a fraud who gorged on heavenly treasures to get where you are; you have no substance at all.

You haven't even been baptized by a heavenly tribulation. Your mental power is vast and pure, yet it's as loose as scattered sand.

Speaking of the heavenly tribulations that soul beasts must endure, Xu Qing couldn't help but feel envious.

The baptism of the power of heaven and earth!

If that were used to temper this physical body of mine, heh heh heh...

Sigh, what a pity. Humans have no chance at such a good thing.

"Master! Master!! Please allow your servant, the lowliest of worms, to offer you the most insignificant of gifts!!"

As he spoke, the tennis-ball-sized body of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm vanished from Du Busi's sleeve in the distance, reappearing before Xu Qing's physical body in the outside world.

It was actually going to perform a direct sacrifice!!!

And Du Busi didn't show a hint of panic!

That was only because the mental power he had left on Xu Qing had already sensed the scene of the worm's sacrifice!

This put his mind at ease, so he extinguished that wisp of mental thought to prevent it from affecting his precious disciple.

"Hehehehahahaha!!"

He looked at Huo Yuhao, who was flushed red like a freshly boiled shrimp, his gaze sweeping over the syringes on the ground.

The satisfaction in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

He ripped his clothes off directly!!

Riiip--!

"Hahaha! My precious disciple has now received the sacrifice of that million-year soul beast, and I have found a disciple with such incredible resistance to the medicine!!"

"Heaven bless my Body Sect! Heaven bless me, Du Busi!!"

"Hehehehahahaha! Mu En, when my disciple can stand on his own, I will personally go to that Sea God Pavilion and have a meeting with you, hiding away in that Golden Tree!"

Back then, after Du Bisi dueled Mu En and returned to the sect, he lost his breath not long after, making him want to immediately rally the entire sect to attack Shrek!

But Du Bisi's final words before he died had completely extinguished his reckless thoughts.

He had kept this matter hidden all along. To outsiders, it even seemed as if the Body Sect had reached some kind of agreement with Shrek?

Hehehe...

He had said:

'That Mu En played dirty, he actually used the means of a god! It was suspected to be a contingency left behind by the Sea God they worship!!'

'They call it, the Sea God's Light!'

"Soul sacrifice?"

Xu Qing was a bit puzzled.

Damn, has this worm gone crazy?

"I remember you were supposed to have that 'wisdom soul ring' thing, right? Why aren't you using that?"

Heh heh heh, a soul sacrifice is exactly what I wanted! You're a smart one, kid!

It was worth exposing my Mystic Ice Marrow for this!!
