Chapter 637: Chapter 589: “The Glory of Gu Nie, It’s All the Same If I Inherit It!

Shi Ming gripped Three Paths Heaven’s hand tightly, completely ignoring the thorns covering her palm.

“Come. Let me feel your power.”

His voice was hysterical.

At this moment, he was playing the role of a slave to power, one who would do anything to become stronger. He threw himself into the performance, acting just like one of those wish-granting villains from the bubble-dreams of the Star Spirit Race.

A masterful performance!

Three Paths Heaven was quite satisfied with this.

This fit her stereotype of Star Sea Creatures perfectly. These beings suffered because of power and created sin because of it. ‘Didn’t the fallen Sinful Celestial General back up its origin here for the sole purpose of exploiting their greed?’

…

…

…

At some point, Shi Ming’s Right Arm Red Pattern began to burn hot.

At first, he had only passively accepted the power from Three Paths Heaven. But when he sensed her guard had slackened, the Right Arm Red Pattern quietly bared its fangs.

The siphoning effect of the power transfer had been activated.

Three Paths Heaven felt as though her power was flowing into his body on its own, without any need for her to control it. His body was like a vast, bottomless abyss, accepting all of the Ancient Evil’s power.

‘Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, there was simply no bottom to it!’

‘His body… is this strong?’

And that wasn’t all. Three Paths Heaven also detected a hint of something familiar.

A malevolent will, tinged with corruption.

A flicker of doubt crossed her mind, but she remained supremely confident in her own standing. This was only natural. The gods were truly dead, and the standing of an Ancient Evil was now the most tyrannical in the universe. An unformed Ancient Evil might not be the apex of raw power, but when it came to corruption and invasion, nothing was stronger. Even if her power was siphoned away, the one who would ultimately suffer could only be him.

‘Guzzle it down! Guzzle it all down!’

‘If you’re not afraid of bursting, you can have it all!’

‘In any case, this Star Spirit woman’s body won’t last much longer. The more you devour, the more easily you’ll be assimilated by a foreign power. When that happens, this body will undoubtedly become my transitional vessel, and that original body, which was mine to begin with, will be as good as mine!’

…

But soon, Three Paths Heaven felt a sense of inexplicable unease.

Within her body, the two Ancient Evil origins that formed the bedrock of her power were actually showing signs of loosening under the siphon. It was as if they were degenerating as her power drained away, drawn by a tyrannical summons, wanting to cross the point of connection and enter his body.

‘???’

‘What’s happening?’

She tried to cut off the power transfer, only to find his right hand gripping her tightly. His eyes were fixed on her, and his powerful Spiritual Power had, without her realizing, constructed a solid, insurmountable seal. It was impossible to break free, much less retreat.

The most terrifying part was that the summons felt by the two Ancient Evil origins within her was growing stronger. They desperately wanted to enter his Sea of Spirit, as if something incredibly alluring was waiting there.

She had never encountered anything like this since her rebirth.

This was the potent follow-up Shi Ming had prepared after activating the siphoning effect. He was using the Colorful Insect sealed within the Hundred-Floor Celestial Tower as bait to lure Three Paths Heaven’s two origins into leaving her body on their own. Three Paths Heaven was not a complete Ancient Evil, and her origins were already under the suppressive might of the Eye of the Divine, which negated part of her standing. At this moment, her origins were now mostly just following an irresistible instinct, wanting to escape on their own.

To put it another way, to the Ancient Evil origins, the Colorful Insect beneath the Hundred-Floor Celestial Tower was like their own flesh-and-blood parent.

Meanwhile, Three Paths Heaven, existing only by borrowing Xiaobai’s body, was merely an adoptive parent they barely knew.

‘You can’t stop it from seeking a better life, can you, ma’am?’

Shi Ming’s plan, using the Colorful Insect to “hold the vessel hostage to command the origins,” if executed properly, could directly extract Three Paths Heaven’s Ancient Evil origins. This would allow him to obtain her origins without a fight and also expel the foreign power from Xiaobai’s body. Although Shi Ming wasn’t sure if Xiaobai’s consciousness could return, it was the only option he could try at the moment.

The standing of the Eye of the Divine was unparalleled.

Three Paths Heaven’s origins were on the verge of collapse.

The cage formed from immense Spiritual Power was indestructible.

The devouring of the Right Arm Red Pattern grew ever more ferocious…

Faced with this tyrannical power, Three Paths Heaven realized she had fallen into a trap. There were many details she couldn’t understand, but she had no time to worry about them now.

Three Paths Heaven began to control her origins.

This body of hers truly wasn’t durable. More severe cracks had already appeared on its skin. Shi Ming’s right hand was as scorching as magma, burning the thorns wrapped around her arm until they were charred and withered! Just as she was about to burn some of her Origin Power for a desperate struggle, time and space froze, as if becoming eternal.

Numbered Nirvana Skill: [Time]! Numbered Nirvana Skill: [Space]! Deployed simultaneously! Time and space froze at once!

Shortly after his Eye of Destiny evolved into the Eye of the Divine, Shi Ming had dispelled the foreign power within Bertutan’s origin of [Space], once again obtaining another Numbered Nirvana Skill!

The devouring force grew stronger and stronger!

Three Paths Heaven’s origins became more and more unstable!

Only now did she belatedly realize he wasn’t a sheep, but a tiger in disguise! She was the one who had truly walked into the tiger’s den…

…

“It’s a little late to be realizing that now.”

“In terms of cunning, you’re not even a match for the Flowers of Malevolence that grow in the Sea of Chaos! It’s not hard to understand why. You’re just a false Ancient Evil, born only by stealing someone else’s body. And you were sealed for so long. Even if you gave yourself the name [Three Paths Heaven], you’re still a far cry from a true Ancient Evil.”

“Hand them over to me.”

“It makes no difference if I am the one to inherit the glory of the Ancient Evils.”

Shi Ming smiled as he activated the [Evolution] authority of his Eye of the Divine.

Evolution was just the general name for the authority.

Beneath it lay the branch of Degeneration. For some time now, Shi Ming had been using this authority to subtly influence Three Paths Heaven, targeting the two Ancient Evil origins within her! As long as he could temporarily degenerate these two Ancient Evil origins to the borderline between Ancient Evil and Natural Disaster, Shi Ming could use the devouring power of his Right Arm Red Pattern to consume them completely!

Now was the time!

His eyes held the profundity of time and fate, giving Three Paths Heaven a sense of déjà vu!

Three Paths Heaven struggled with all her might against the devouring force, but she was at the end of her rope. She was powerless to resist the mutual, irresistible pull between her origins and his body. The two origins were finally devoured completely, dragged into a boundless, endless space.

That was Shi Ming’s Sea of Spirit.

Another Hundred-Floor Celestial Tower shot up from the ground, instantly sealing the two newly extracted Ancient Evil origins of Three Paths Heaven with tyrannical Spiritual Power, preventing even a trace from escaping.

The Sea of Spirit gained another VIP seat.

The Colorful Insect was in the same space as them, yet separated by a vast distance, unable to sense them, destined to never meet.
