The feeling was exhilarating, every punch landed, and my blood was boiling. Of course, this was only Yang Tao's experience; the Tai Sui Star Lord and the summoned divine generals before him had a vastly different experience.
"Liu Ren Divination: Stop..."
Yang Tao's body instantly froze in place, not truly immobilized, but because the Tai Sui Star Lord in front of him spoke Chinese, clear and standard Chinese.
Tai Sui Star Lord took advantage of Yang Tao's momentary Stunned (daze) to launch an attack, a shockwave, but Yang Tao's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared beside Tai Sui Star Lord, dodging the attack.
"How is that possible!"
Bang...
Yang Tao, with a serious expression, delivered a roundhouse kick that slammed Tai Sui Star Lord into the ground. This heavy blow caused considerable damage to Tai Sui Star Lord, but a wriggling mass of rotten flesh appeared beside Tai Sui Star Lord, covered in fist-sized eyes.
Tai Sui Star Lord reached out, plucked an eyeball from it, and popped it into his mouth. The lost health began to recover rapidly.
"What exactly are you? Why does Liu Ren Divination have no effect on you?"
Liu Ren Divination certainly had an effect, but the slowing effect only made Yang Tao's speed a little slower.
In ancient China, the Taiyi Divine Art, Qimen Dunjia, and Liu Ren Divination were collectively known as the Three Arts. Among the Three Arts, it was generally believed that Taiyi focused on the Way of Heaven, primarily for predicting national affairs and natural disasters; Qimen focused on the Way of Earth, primarily for military predictions; and Liu Ren focused on the Way of Man, primarily for human affairs.
However, in this world, Liu Ren Divination was clearly not as simple as mere fortune-telling.
"I am your father!"
Picking up the Yamato, Yang Tao reappeared beside Tai Sui Star Lord, slashing him with a single stroke and cutting off the rotten flesh beside him.
"Tai Sui Star Lord?! How dare you call yourself Tai Sui Star Lord?!"
Yang Tao felt a profound sense of blasphemy. Looking at the Cthulhu-esque mass of rotten flesh covered in eyeballs, he had already guessed its name in this world.
Tai Sui Meat.
A perfectly good Ganoderma lucidum had turned into an evil entity.
Pfft...
The Yamato didn't care if Tai Sui Star Lord was a 'god'; it only cared about feasting.
With one slash, Tai Sui Star Lord's maximum health decreased by nearly a hundred points.
"What in the world are you?!"
Two more slashes later, Tai Sui Star Lord's two arms were directly severed by the Yamato.
"Why do you know Liu Ren Divination?"
Pfft...
The Yamato passed through his chest and, with a slight force, directly cut the Tai Sui Star Lord in front of him in half horizontally. However, because it was a spiritual body, this injury recovered in just a breath.
Just as Yang Tao was physically interrogating him, an invisible pressure appeared, and in an instant, a third of Yang Tao's health bar disappeared.
The quantum suit's magic defense was zero.
Without another word, he immediately switched back to his original suit. Although his speed was greatly reduced, his magic defense was significantly increased.
"Surprise Gate Open!"
Blue gas appeared on Yang Tao's body. His speed increased again, and he also gained 4 resistance, possessing 80% damage reduction.
Blades and shadows flashed.
The Yamato had completely disappeared. Tai Sui Star Lord's clothes were completely cut into rags. His recovery speed simply couldn't keep up with Yang Tao's attack speed.
Health: 1205 / 4700
His maximum health had been cut down to only 4700 points. Seeing this, Yang Tao stopped his movements. Two more slashes and this Tai Sui Star Lord would ascend on the spot. He reached out, grabbed Tai Sui Star Lord's neck, and slammed him to the ground.
At this moment, Tai Sui Star Lord no longer had the strength to struggle.
"Tell me, your origin..."
"I am from the Yin-Shang period... from the land of Huaxia..."
"You really did 'run' over here?!"
Yang Tao was truly surprised, and the Yin-Shang period... that meant it was at least three or four thousand years old.
But its growth speed was indeed a bit slow, likely due to the world's upper limit.
"Are you really the Tai Sui Star Lord?"
"No... I am a spirit..."
Yang Tao looked at the 'Tai Sui Star Lord', who was at most about 1.3 meters tall, and showed a look of sudden understanding. No wonder this guy looked so miniature.
"Why did you come to this island nation?"
The 'Tai Sui Star Lord' said weakly, "During the war between Shang and Zhou, heaven and earth were in chaos. I was too weak at that time and could only flee to an unnamed small island in the East Blue for refuge... However, lacking popularity, I could only fall into a deep sleep. I don't know how long passed before I was awakened by a group of barbarians... who were the ancestors of the Jinda family..."
"I became their family's guardian deity, thereby receiving their offerings and the souls of the family's women, and it has been like this until now..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tao released his hand and threw him to the ground: "What's the use of a child ghost like you marrying a wife? Whoever borrows your power gets harmed, so why harm these young girls?"
"They are all barbarians!"
Hiss~
Damn, that makes a lot of sense.
Do even ghosts look down on barbarians these days?
Logically speaking, a Gui was already quite good, able to leave a name in history. Most ordinary vengeful spirits would at most be classified as wandering ghosts.
Yang Tao suddenly felt that this guy wasn't so hateful anymore.
Just then, Miko, who was beside him, suddenly pointed at the sky in horror and said, "What... what is that?"
Everyone looked up.
They saw that the originally clear sky was covered by a figure over a hundred meters tall: a naked female body, appearing translucent.
Long black hair floated in the wind.
Tears streamed from her hollow eye sockets, and although she opened her mouth without making any sound, it was clear at a glance that she was in great pain.
The source of the pain was obvious.
Her abdomen was greatly distended, and a spherical object about ten meters in diameter was hidden within her abdomen.
A baby-like black shadow was inside the sphere, looking somewhat like an underdeveloped embryo.
A giant eye grew on the embryo, currently staring at them without blinking.
Yang Tao showed no hesitation towards the naked giant woman. Although he could see everything clearly, he only wanted to figure out what this thing was.
Health: 16000 / 16000
'What kind of low-class thing dares to come watch the show??'
Just as Yang Tao was about to have Elisa deal with this disgusting thing, Yayoi, who was beside him, suddenly became excited, controlling her subordinate graduates to rush towards the monster suspended in mid-air.
Yang Tao reached out and grabbed Yayoi, who was about to run over, and said, "Don't rush..."
Tears streamed from Yayoi's eyes as she pointed at the female figure being used as a container and said, "That... that's my mother!"
"Please, Uncle, save my mother! Even if it's just to let her find peace, I'll do anything!!"
Yang Tao: "..."
He knew that the reason Yayoi had come into contact with so many ghosts was not for hobbies or interests, but to save her mother.
But he never expected Yayoi's mother to be used as a container by this strange embryo.
"Elisa, open the Inner World! Don't let it escape!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everything around them transformed into the scenery of the Nether.
