Chapter 1950
Though Qingyu"s words weren"t meant to sound insulting, the voidheart worm certainly took it that way, leading to even more rage. "I’ll make you regret it! Mark my words!"
As it howled, it was unlatching itself from Yu Ziqian"s vita. It was a really complicated process that demanded a lot of attention. While its beast soul was large, it wasn"t nearly as complete as a fourth imperial soul like Lingfeng"s. If it weren’t for the complexity of such a procedure, it wouldn"t have had to seek out a quiet place to begin with. Even then, it seemed to be losing its reason from all the anger.
"Stop interrupting, fool!" the Ultimate Pill G.o.d cursed.
A quick look at ReadNovelFull.com will leave you more fulfilled.
"Shut up!" The voidheart worm was like a cosmic wildbeast on fire. It suddenly crawled out of Yu Ziqian"s vita without properly taking form and entered the soul path. A beautiful, snow-white spider-like beauty was coursing toward Qingyu through the black thread. "It"s over for you! You"re a goner!"
From the outside, it looked like a gigantic spider beauty had emerged from the black boil on Yu Ziqian"s hand in the form of fog that seeped toward Qingyu at a steady pace.
"Why do you say stuff twice like that? Isn"t that a sign of your low intelligence?" Qingyu was still able to mock it despite being bloodied and completely immobilized with her skull cracking. Her tone only poured fuel on the fire of the beast"s rage.
"You have to die! You have to—" It had wanted to vent by saying that twice, but that would only prove Qingyu"s point. Embarra.s.sed that it had almost done so, it grew even angrier.
"Insect," Qingyu simply said.
"That"s right! Little insect!" Yin Chen repeated.
"Ah, no offense, Yin Chen. I forgot about you."
"No worries! I have... caelum, terra... and vita!" it said proudly.
A proper lifebound beast experienced the full range of emotions as people did, making them a completely different breed. Yin Chen wasn"t the least bit offended, but the same couldn"t be said for the voidheart worm. In its rage, it cursed and made threats without much variation. It really wasn"t capable of being more creative with its insults. Even it was beginning to feel the natural limits of its consciousness!
"Die die die!" The beautiful face had contorted beyond recognition but its thousands of soul feet still charged toward Qingyu. However, it didn"t realize that much of its beast soul hadn"t taken form yet, and it was losing much of it from rus.h.i.+ng!
"You"re insane!" No matter how much the Ultimate Pill G.o.d yelled, the voidheart worm didn"t listen. It had fully submitted to its feral instincts. Its hate was amorphous and could be warped with simple agitation, which was why Qingyu had said it didn"t have any real feelings of love or hate. Hate only built up after frustration was allowed to fester. Something that could be teased out within a single instant and vented just as easily couldn"t be considered hate.
Even the Ultimate Pill G.o.d had to admit that Qingyu had a good grasp of mind tricks, not to mention courage. Thanks to her wit and personality, she was able to stay calm and had ultimately found a way to deal with the voidheart worm.
Then again, even after losing that much soul, it"s still hundreds of times more powerful than you! And now that you"ve angered it, it"ll tear your soul apart as it enters. You’ll just suffer all the more for your own actions! thought the Ultimate Pill G.o.d. He had been quite annoyed by Qingyu as well. Why’re you still bothering with your silly tricks at this point? If you learn to submit like Gan Gangan, at least you"ll suffer less.
By now, the beast soul of the voidheart worm had left Yu Ziqian"s vita. No doubt, he was also going through extreme pain. The Ultimate Pill G.o.d and voidheart worm hadn"t held back with regard to their cruelty toward Yu Ziqian. The former was heartless, while the latter was raving mad.
No amount of nagging from the Ultimate Pill G.o.d would manage to stop the voidheart worm"s rampage. Soon, it had crawled to the back of Qingyu"s hand and was in a rush to burrow into the black boil. "Die! Die! When I go through the soul path into your sea of consciousness, you’ll experience the worst kind of pain! That pain will stay with you for the rest of your life!" It stretched out its sharp soul claws and tore open the boil before entering through the black thread. Even before it reached the sea of consciousness, Qingyu was already feeling immeasurable pain all over her body.
Shuo Yue came bursting out of her lifebound s.p.a.ce. After learning that the voidheart worm had never intended to kill Qingyu, the Divine Worldeater Cauldron was no longer a real threat. Shuo Yue rampaged around, intent on destroying the soul path to cut off the voidheart worm, but it and the Ultimate Pill G.o.d had already prepared for that. Countless black threads of the Void G.o.d came falling from above the moment Shuo Yue emerged, wrapping it in a coc.o.o.n that hung above Qingyu"s head.
"A surprise attack by your lifebound beast.... The oldest trick in the book! What kind of fool do you take me for? Just you wait! Your lifebound beast will also become my puppet! The two of you shall endure my wrath soon enough!" the voidheart worm gleefully proclaimed, still tearing into the soul path.
"Nnnngh!" Qingyu"s face contorted from the pain from within the cauldron, but she still desperately tried to suppress her reaction. Feng is coming... I can"t lose! I can"t make him tear up again! It was that notion that caused her to grit her teeth and endure. After Shuo Yue"s capture, she had no real way to resist any longer. All she could do was keep her calm and continue defying death. She wouldn’t let the voidheart worm"s threats get to her.
The pain she was experiencing was enough to make most people twitch and groan, but she tightly clenched her fists and didn"t make a sound! Most people in her place would simply choose death to get it over with, but she held on to hope and faith. Even without seeing it for herself, she knew that the beast was still worming its way into her body.
All of a sudden, the world shook and spun. The soul path had been opened and the voidheart worm made it into her sea of consciousness. Through her vita, she could see a gigantic, beautiful humanoid arachnid with a thousand legs. It spun webs nonstop as it charged toward Qingyu. The volumes of their respective souls were far too different, and that was after the voidheart worm had lost quite a lot of its volume from its reckless thras.h.i.+ng about. It was terrifying beyond measure.
"Hahahaha!" the beautiful face on its back snickered. "Where"s your witty quips now? Come on! Keep going! Try making me mad!" it said as it approached Qingyu"s vita. Its many soul webs bound her vita, completely immobilizing her down to her soul fingers. No amount of struggling before this mountain of power was going to work.
The gigantic arachnid being crept toward her soul with its many legs. Unlike her body, which had been corrupted by old G.o.ds" blood, her soul retained her original appearance, still sporting the moon-toned white hair and serene tranquility, not that the voidheart worm cared for her outer appearance to begin with. It stretched a sharp and st.u.r.dy leg toward her vulnerable chest.
"Next, I’ll tear open your abdomen and burrow inside you. My soul will stretch your vita thin like a skin. Don"t worry, it will hurt... a lot... more than you can ever imagine. If you could, you"d be crying by now." It wore an insidious smile as it pulled apart the dense webs that covered Qingyu, revealing her face.
"You’ve never understood this, but being parasitized is the worst horror that anyone can experience! You’ll be an empty sh.e.l.l—conscious, but unable to live your life the way you want!" Normally, the voidheart worm wouldn’t mouth off endlessly like that, but it wanted nothing more than to see the foolhardy girl quiver with fear. What it didn"t expect was that Qingyu would look at it with the same gaze as before. Nothing in her expression was different in the least.
"Hehehe.... You"re a stubborn one, I"ll give you that. Then let’s begin! Let"s see if you"ll be able to maintain that gaze once I start burrowing into you." Using its sharp leg, it pierced it into Qingyu"s chest, drawing a cold cut. It didn"t pierce through her vita entirely, instead making a small opening near her chest. "Cry more! Scream more! Struggle!"
Despite its eagerness, Qingyu didn"t react in the slightest, even after the cut.
"Huh?" Instead, it felt a gaze that sent primal fear into the core of its being. What kind of gaze was that?! It was cold, emotionless, and haughty, like one would hold while looking down at a lower lifeform. The voidheart worm was in the sea of consciousness, so it couldn"t see the changes occurring in Qingyu"s body outside. Its powder bug child sp.a.w.ns hadn"t even managed to enter yet.
It pulled open the chest of her vita, only for her to say, "Thank you for helping me break through the shackles of life. I’ve managed to escape the sea of suffering by taking the final step."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The voidheart worm loathed how fearless she was. It pulled open the wound in her chest with two of its legs and cackled. "Don"t bother faking it! You"ll find out soon enough!" Then its gigantic soul body seemed to melt into liquid form as it flowed toward her vita"s wound. It was almost like a bull trying to worm its way into something the size of an egg.
"Fear! Agonize! Suffer! Have you finally learned what a true nightmare is like?!" When it started the process, Qingyu"s vita inflated like a rubber ball. The voidheart worm still recalled how exciting it was when Yu Ziqian cried and squealed the last time it had done the same thing.
