Chapter 1052 - 225: Reaper of the God Devourer (2)

He wasn’t sure what exactly the Fallen Evil Ghouls were, but decided to try it out, mainly because the Mistwalker envoy was chasing him down, making him very uncomfortable.

Even though he couldn’t die, being constantly killed was unbearable, like having his body forcefully filled and emptied repeatedly, with no resistance possible.

Unlike other fragments of the Undead Tome, this page lay between reality and illusion, flickering with a ghostly green glow, like a firefly in the dark, silently proclaiming its presence.

The space trembled slightly, as three ghouls flashing black and white dots crawled out of the water. They looked no different from ordinary ghouls but moved incredibly fast, swiftly pouncing toward the Mistwalker envoy.

Unexpectedly, the Evil Ghouls tore at the Mistwalker envoy’s body with their mouths, ripping apart the flesh bit by bit from the abdomen.

"Forbidden!"

The Mistwalker envoy seemed to recognize what it was, stepped back two steps, and threw off the ghouls on his body, smacking one into a mush.

The ghoul smashed into mush, however, stuck to his hand like clay, unable to be shaken off.

In their mutual battle, time was bought for Su Changxing. With the scythe in his hand, he began to carve the divine spirit’s body, segmenting it into sizes suitable for the discount store to accept.

This time, he traded small pieces of the divine spirit’s flesh for sixteen gold coins, then browsed the exchange interface to see if there was anything to make cutting divine spirit’s bodies easier.

This efficiency was still too slow. To sell off a whole piece of divine spirit flesh the size of Sindaga’s, who knows how long it would take.

Not finding suitable items, Su Changxing discovered something else: High-tier Weapon Enhancement, priced at five gold coins.

[High-tier Weapon Enhancement: Able to ignore the weapon’s original limitations, enhancing the weapon’s strength and quality to an Extraordinary Level]

He had acquired weapon enhancements before, but none were high-tier, and could not affect Tao Yi. Yet this High-tier Weapon Enhancement could, seemingly ignoring Tao Yi’s nature as an undead, recognizing him as a weapon.

As the weapon enhancement was triggered, more crimson patterns appeared on the scythe, entwining the blade and revealing a peculiar beauty.

Tao Yi was closely connected to him, and as his power grew, Tao Yi also quickly grew stronger.

However, this growth had a bottleneck. Approaching Tier Five, Tao Yi halted growth, relying on blood and soul consumption for slow growth. Up until now, he had only just achieved Tier Five’s standard.

Tier Five seemed strong, but as a scythe, it couldn’t fully withstand Su Changxing’s power. With full force, there was a risk of it breaking.

Tao Yi’s power rapidly increased under the weapon enhancement, becoming harder and sharper in the scythe form.

Still not enough.

Su Changxing exchanged for two more High-tier Weapon Enhancements for Tao Yi, with the blade showing a pitch-black hue, more textured and like a solid weapon than before.

"Let me cut them down!"

A frenzied voice echoed around Su Changxing’s ears.

Under the weapon enhancement’s effect, Tao Yi seemed stimulated, becoming unusually excited and frantic, like injected with adrenaline.

The transformation persisted, and Su Changxing even felt a faint feedback from Tao Yi, negligible but enough to show the tremendous improvement under enhancement.

Wielding the scythe, Su Changxing could more easily slice apart the divine spirit’s body. Such an enhancement was notable, and while cutting the divine spirit’s flesh, Tao Yi kept devouring it bit by bit, the amount incredibly small yet remarkably impressive.

The divine spirit’s flesh was unbearable for ordinary creatures, likely to be assimilated or mutate into monsters.

Indeed.

On the scythe blade, cracks emerged, with blood seeping from them, that was the divine spirit’s blood.

Tao Yi cried in pain, yet continued to devour the divine spirit’s flesh, showing no signs of stopping.

"This glutton."

Su Changxing was slightly helpless, though having warned before, Tao Yi couldn’t resist the allure, given how irresistible divine spirit flesh was to undead blood devourers.

Immediately, he traded two pieces of divine spirit flesh for ten coins, then exchange for two more High-tier Weapon Enhancements for Tao Yi.

He wasn’t sure if Tao Yi could withstand the divine spirit’s flesh, and it was all he could do.

But High-tier Weapon Enhancements in the exchange interface were limited to ten times, with diminishing returns. Should Tao Yi breakthrough to Tier Four, he could likely endure the divine spirit flesh’s assimilation, and grow stronger by it.

Those three Fallen Evil Ghouls were even fiercer than Su Changxing thought, entangling the Mistwalker envoy for a long time, impairing his regular movements, thus disrupting the rule’s operation.

Su Changxing seized the time, further slicing two pieces of the divine spirit flesh and selling them, exchanging for coins and then weapon enhancements.

Ten High-tier Weapon Enhancements equaled fifty gold coins, the value speaking for itself, equivalent to a divine artifact.

Black droplets slid off the blade, falling into the sea. The crimson tone on the scythe dimmed, integrating with the pitch-black blade into dark red.

In ten weapon enhancements’ effect, Tao Yi progressed to Tier Four, an exceptional transformation in scythe form.

[Reaper of the God Devourer: Formed by consuming divine spirit’s flesh, enough to cleave divine spirit bodies, a divine artifact.

Breaking Space: Able to sever nonexistent things, including rules.

Bloodthirsty: This scythe is pathologically eager for divine spirit’s flesh.]

Su Changxing lifted the scythe, turning back to slash at the approaching Mistwalker envoy. The blade left a clear rift in the space, slicing through the Mistwalker envoy’s body.

"And now what!"

He looked at the bisected Mistwalker envoy, toppled into the sea, and asked.

Wielding the scythe, he now had Upper Fourth Rank capability, enough to directly kill the Mistwalker envoy, albeit just kill.

Soon, a colossal creature surfaced once more from below, holding a gigantic horn, waves surging, and horn sounds resonating.

"How bold of you! Daring such blatant stealing of divine spirit’s power!"

The Mistwalker envoy’s angry voice boomed again, standing from the seabed, with the severed flesh revealed rotting, accumulated through countless years, lifeless now.

Su Changxing raised the scythe, twisting the surrounding space, appearing before the Mistwalker envoy, and slicing down again.

The Mistwalker envoy’s head was chopped off, his body falling backward, sinking into the dark sea again.

Su Changxing couldn’t entirely kill the Mistwalker envoy, only suppressing him, while seizing the moment to once more come before the divine spirit’s body, cleaving it to produce multiple pieces of suitable size for selling.

Instantly, over ten forbidden beings emerged from the void, biting into the chunks, then disappearing.

Browsing the exchange interface, Su Changxing abruptly held his breath, furrowing his brow, seeing an unexpected item.

Hua san.

In shock, he saw the wooden puppet Hua san, thought to have been annihilated by Heavenly Dao.

This was indeed too odd.

Could the discount store have connections with Blue Star’s Heavenly Dao?

Things eradicated by the rules don’t truly vanish but instead are absorbed into the discount store.

Or does the discount store have ties with Heavenly Dao in all worlds, collecting all goods eliminated by the rules?

This could explain the discount store’s vast range of items, from divine artifacts to basic daily necessities.

It’s a bizarre hypothesis, yet the facts stand before him; otherwise, there’s no explanation for Hua san’s appearance in the store.

[Chaos Puppet: 20 gold coins, a unique undead puppet, modified by rune mechanisms, possessing demonic power, mutated in destruction.]
