How Can They Bully My Woman? (Four Thousand Words)

The Devourer can plunder the power of its target.

Unfortunately, this plundering is not absolute; it is probabilistic.

It's possible to gain something, or it's possible to gain nothing. What's more serious is that this woman undoubtedly possesses multiple different powers, and who knows which one she might actually snatch.

Time passed second by second.

The woman's resistance grew weaker and weaker, and the roar in her throat had somehow turned into a painful wail.

Its once bloated body gradually became shriveled.

This scene shocked Inas, who was watching from behind. He had long known that Qin Chu had amazing talent, but the fact that he could reach such a level in such a short time still terrified Inas.

Just then, Qin Chu's eyes suddenly lit up. He could feel that in addition to energy, he seemed to have absorbed some kind of mysterious power.

While manipulating the Devourer's tentacles to continue wrapping around the woman, Qin Chu swiftly summoned his control panel. A quick glance revealed a brand-new power before Qin Chu.

Transcendent Authority: Limit-Breaking Absorption!

Chapter Two, 4,000 words in total, is presented here.

Chapter 528 How can my woman be bullied? (4,000 words)

Transcendent Authority: Limit-Breaking Absorption.

When Qin Chu saw this Transcendent Authority, his smile grew even wider.

They finally succeeded.

The Devourer's absorption of a target's power is entirely random; it may plunder or fail. Even if it successfully seizes the target's power, it cannot determine which power it has taken; everything depends on luck.

But looking back now, I think I was pretty lucky to get the power I wanted most.

Limit-Breaking Absorption.

Normally, whether it's Hero or a native of the Skyvault Continent, whether it's like Qin Chu absorbing target energy through the Devourer or normal cultivation, absorbing free energy from the air...

This is all a process; however, depending on individual constitution and strength, the efficiency of this energy absorption process varies.

Even some wealthy and powerful people, such as Onions, whose body was burned to ashes... because of Florence, the former High Priest's mother, Onions' cultivation was achieved solely through the accumulation of various magical potions and Holy Crystal.

The energy concentration in potions and Holy Crystal far exceeds the concentration of free energy in the air.

This creates an environment with an energy concentration far exceeding normal levels, making cultivation in such an environment naturally twice as efficient.

The effects of Limit-Breaking Absorption are mainly twofold. The first is easy to understand: it increases the host's rate of energy absorption from the surrounding environment. It's like the human body's energy absorption channel is a highway; this is like widening the original single-lane road into a two-lane, three-lane, four-lane road...

The second method involves squeezing the energy from the surrounding space, or even from other living beings, to forcibly create a space with an extraordinary energy concentration, thereby increasing the host's cultivation speed.

The increase in the second effect is even more dramatic than that of the first.

Although it sounds very simple and the name doesn't seem particularly sophisticated, its actual effect is absolutely worthy of a Transcendent Authority.

One can imagine that whoever possesses this Transcendent Authority will experience an absolutely exaggerated increase in strength during their cultivation stage, possibly one, two, or even ten times that of their peers.

While his fellow practitioners were still in a rather weak stage, the person who possessed this power had already become a master capable of standing alone.

The effect is nothing short of exaggerated.

Especially for Qin Chu, although he had already incorporated the Evil God's Heart and right leg into his body, the speed at which he digested the energy within them was quite slow.

Now that Qin Chu Transcendent Authority of Limit-Breaking Absorption, Qin Chu can immediately feel the changes occurring in his body.

Inside the chest cavity, the heart immediately began beating faster, at least doubling its previous speed.

With each contraction and expansion of the heart, one can feel a surge of rich energy being released, which is then rapidly absorbed and digested by the body, integrating into the muscles, skin, meridians, bones, and even every cell.

The rate at which energy is digested has more than quadrupled compared to before.

If before it was just a trickle of water, absorbing the Evil God's power every second without ceasing, but at a slow pace, now it's like a pump has been inserted into the Evil God's Heart, relentlessly squeezing it dry.

The mere acquisition of this Transcendent Authority made Qin Chu feel that his journey to the Far Northern Glacier had not been in vain.

For someone of Qin Chu's strength, powers, magic, martial arts, and even divine arts are not necessarily better the higher their rank; the best one is the one that suits him best.

However... Transcendent Authority are extremely rare on the Skyvault Continent.

Aside from Hero, the number of others who possess Transcendent Authority is extremely limited.

This woman, who seems to have no connection to anything, actually possesses Transcendent Authority. Isn't that a bit too much?

Taking a deep breath, Qin Chu barely managed to suppress the pounding in his heart.

After acquiring the Transcendent Authority of Limit-Breaking Absorption, another Transcendent Authority Devourer seemed to be enhanced as well, and the speed at which it devoured the energy of its target increased once again.

The rate at which a woman's energy is drained increases rapidly, causing her body to become increasingly weak.

What was originally Wrath and resentful roar had now turned into a mournful wail. She didn't even have the strength to support herself on the ice anymore.

Its entire body had fallen to the ground, writhing like a worm and groaning.

In the end, he didn't even have the strength to groan.

With a sudden shudder, he breathed his last.

He died.

Antasia already knew Qin Chu's strength, so she wasn't surprised at all that Qin Chu ended the battle so decisively.

However, Inas was extremely shocked. After all, this woman was truly powerful, with a combat strength of over level ninety. She was one of the strongest experts on the Skyvault Continent, and she had died so easily?

Inas looked at Qin Chu with a hint of fear in his eyes.

At this moment, on this continent, there is probably no one who can rival this Hero.

How long has it been?

Qin Chu's reaction was also quite calm. He did not feel complacent about eliminating this expert; he simply frowned.

The two women behind him didn't notice, but Qin Chu sensed something was amiss.

The woman's soul did not leave her body after she was killed.

Normally, even ordinary people's souls gradually dissipate after death, but this was not the case with this woman at all; she was like a statue, a doll.

Qin Chu had just encountered a similar situation.

That was the one we destroyed before, which was very likely the First Hero's clone, that ugly-looking monster.

Qin Chu seemed to be deep in thought. Could this woman also have some kind of connection to the original Hero, like that guy before, perhaps also an incarnation of the First Hero?

After a long while, Qin Chu raised his head and looked into the depths of the glacier. "Inas, take me there."

Inas nodded vigorously.

Although she was terrified of Qin Chu's strength, Qin Chu was now her only hope, so the former saintess dared not delay and quickly led Qin Chu and Antasia back the way they came.

On the way, Inas briefly explained the situation deep inside the glacier to Qin Chu.

This includes the Evil God's Remnant Body sealed beneath the glacier, the hundred-meter-long ice layer that was inexplicably and easily pierced, the vengeful spirits swarming out from beneath the ice, and seven beings as insane and beast-like as this woman.

Qin Chu was also alarmed.

Seven humanoid monsters, mad as beasts, utterly irrational, yet possessing immense power?

It is not uncommon in the Skyvault Continent for people to become monsters due to certain interferences or excessive radicalism during their cultivation. The former Death Knight Karthus was one such example.

During his cultivation, he was disturbed by the Evil God's Whisper, went mad, and fell into complete darkness, ultimately killing his entire family.

Those who can reach level 90 or above are all seasoned veterans. The fact that seven of them have suddenly gone mad is something that anyone could sense was wrong.

Are the remaining six, like this woman, merely puppets with immense power but no soul?

If this woman is the alter ego, puppet, of that Hero's living a comfortable life, then could the other six be in the same situation?

Just how many clones does that guy have?

He truly deserves to be called the first Hero.

His existence on the Skyvault Continent far surpasses that of Qin Chu and Jello, which has granted him ridiculously powerful strength.

The current situation is probably quite bad for Ileta.

She's my woman, how could I let anyone bully her?

After carefully inquiring about Inas's exact direction and distance, Qin Chu directly unfolded a spatial teleportation magic scroll.

With a whoosh, the three figures vanished from their spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, the surroundings were filled with a biting cold wind.

Waaaaah... Waaaah... Waaaah...

The chaotic, cold wind howled like a wild beast.

The chaotic impacts ripped up the ice.

Not far ahead, a dense, inky blackness obscured everything, and countless strange figures were writhing wantonly in the gloom and darkness.

Hehehehe...

Ha ha ha ha...

Waaaaah...

The sounds—some violent, some crying, some Wrath, some insane, and some numb—were mixed together and pierced through everyone's ears the moment the three appeared.

In an instant, everyone felt their brains were completely filled, their heads buzzing and throbbing with pain.

Inas and Antasia showed clear signs of pain, with warm liquid even flowing from their nostrils. Only Qin Chu seemed completely unaffected by the strange noise.

A glance ahead revealed a scene of utter chaos and demonic possession.

This is truly hell.

Thousands upon thousands of evil spirits writhe and wail in hell, releasing the resentment within their malevolent nature; their hazy forms weave through the gray mist.

They were either long-tongued and had a bluish-gray face, or their limbs were broken, or their heads were smashed open and covered in blood, or their limbs were twisted...

However, they all have one thing in common: above the malevolent spirit of each evil soul extends a gray-black line, which floats in the air like a venomous snake, while the other side of the black line is submerged beneath the broken glacier.

A huge hole suddenly appeared on the glacier.

At this moment, no evil spirits were flying out of the hole, and Qin Chu could clearly see the huge, hard body inside through the hole.

The shockwaves from the battle outside even affected the Evil God's Remnant Body beneath the ice, causing the fine hairs on its body to sway with each shockwave.

Sure enough, the Evil God's Remnant Body were right here.

The energy released from the Evil God's Remnant Body.

The energy released by the First Hero's clone.

The power of Ileta, the Daughter of Death.

The power of evil spirits.

In this very area, a large amount of chaotic energy mixed together, almost transforming into an energy storm.

Those with slightly weaker strength cannot even get close to this place; they would likely be torn to pieces if they even approached.

Qin Chu raised his head and peered into the distant sky. Soon, he spotted six frantic figures. These must be the remaining figures that Qin Chu Inas mentioned, besides the woman who had been killed earlier.

However, the appearance of these six people was obviously strange. Each of them had a ghostly aura and a sinister aura spreading out in waves.

They are no longer simply puppets that act on instinct or commands; they have become Corpse Ghoul.

The so-called "Corpse Ghoul" is someone possessed by a demon.

It is a being that forms after a dead corpse is possessed by an evil spirit.

The First Hero clone was very powerful, but it had no soul and was just an empty shell, making it the most suitable host for these evil spirits.

At this very moment, six powerful Corpse Ghoul, mixed with thousands upon thousands of evil spirits, are relentlessly charging towards the central area. Through the gaps between the dense horde of evil spirits, the figures of Ileta and Florence can be glimpsed.

Florence ultimately failed to escape. While attempting to flee, she was pursued by a large number of evil spirits. Left with no other choice, Florence had to intercept these evil spirits to buy Inas time.

After reuniting with Ileta, he takes refuge under Ileta protection and supports Ileta in her battles.

Ileta's power directly targets the soul, making her a formidable nemesis to evil spirits. Moreover, the strength of a single evil spirit is not actually that exaggerated. Countless ashes in the air fell like feathers and snowflakes, leaving behind traces of the evil spirits after they were destroyed.

However, the sheer number of evil spirits was simply too outrageous.

How many evil spirits have the two of them destroyed? Eight hundred, a thousand, two thousand, or even more?
