Golden Core is a Star, and You Call This Cultivation?
Chapter 124: The Canary is Definitely Prettier than My Ugly FaceWith the enhancement of "With You Under My Command," Qi Yuan now stood nearly a hundred meters tall.
A giant of a thousand meters high wouldn't mean much to a Supreme, as they could suppress such a giant with a single hand.
However, when facing the blood-red armored giant's killing gaze, a sudden sense of fear arose in their hearts.
Blue Charm Supreme forcibly suppressed this fear, sneering at Qi Yuan, "We possess a treasure crafted by a Grand Supreme, providing both offense and defense. Even with the Supremes behind you, you can't stop us! In the upcoming north-south conflict, the south is destined to lose, and you will surely die!"
Blue Charm Supreme was already preparing to flee.
The other Supremes had similar thoughts. After all, facing over a hundred initial stage Supremes was too terrifying.
Qi Yuan, wielding the broken sword, resembled a colossal reaper from the underworld.
His cold, unfeeling eyes swept over the twenty-plus Supremes.
In an eerie voice, he said, "Many people can't see the future, but they've already glimpsed it."
The enormous broken sword exuded a sinister, blood-red aura.Qi Yuan raised the sword and slashed.
Void Realm Ruler's Heart Demon invoked.
As he swung the sword, he roared, "This is your future!"
An endless blood rain poured from the sword, like a torrential downpour, falling on the twenty-seven Supremes.
Sheep Chaos Supreme and Ning Tao were unaffected.
Greed, arrogance, gluttony, lust... all these emotions were embedded in the blood rain, stirring the Supremes' hearts.
The Supremes first felt bewildered, then terror-stricken.
"W-what is this?" Blue Charm Supreme's face was filled with horror.
The treasure crafted by the Grand Supreme made their defense impenetrable, even against a Grand Supreme's origin ability.
However, the blood rain pierced through this defense, landing on their bodies.
Blue Charm Supreme's face contorted. As soon as he spoke, something horrifying happened.
A terrifying tumor bulged out from his back, ripping through his robes.
The tumor grew larger, the size of a millstone.
Suddenly, the tumor burst like a pimple, spraying yellow liquid, as a monstrous demon emerged.
The demon's eyes were filled with greed and hunger.
It clung to Blue Charm Supreme's shoulder, gnawing at the tumor.
This scene repeated with the other Supremes.
Demons burst from their bodies like parasitic worms, devouring their hosts.
Some Supremes, twisted and writhing like beasts, rolled on the ground.
Others tore at their own skin, trying to peel it off for relief.
The scene was eerie, horrifying, and utterly gruesome.
"Devil, you're a devil!"
The mid-level Supremes, barely able to speak, looked at Qi Yuan's terrifying figure with eyes full of confusion and fear.
"Spare me... I'll be your dog!" one Supreme pleaded.
The towering blood-red giant surveyed the frenzied Supremes.
He calmly stated, "This is the fate of those who oppose me."
The hundred Supremes behind him were all aghast. Hearing Qi Yuan's words, they shivered inwardly.
The scene before them defied all understanding.
They had only seen their revered, enigmatic Blood Lord transform into a blood-red giant.
He swung his sword once, and blood rain fell.
The terrifying thing was that the Supremes' heart demons were fully awakened. These once powerful Supremes, devoured by demons, were as helpless as children. ṘÄNОВËs
This origin ability easily wiped out twenty-seven Supremes, leaving them no chance to resist.
This sight filled them with terror.
How could this be a born sage?
This was a god, a demon god!
Everyone swallowed hard, remaining silent.
In the crowd, Sheep Chaos Supreme trembled.
For the first time since becoming a Supreme, he felt this way.
His back tingled, his face filled with ecstasy.
He stepped forward, shouting, "Blood Lord is mighty, ruling the world!"
Now, he didn't resemble a Supreme at all, but the most obsequious follower.
Qi Yuan ignored Sheep Chaos Supreme, focusing on the twenty-plus Supremes.
One by one, they died in agony.
These terrifying Supremes, who could destroy cities, perished miserably.
Qi Yuan's experience bar grew rapidly.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Supremes truly lived up to their name.
The skyrocketing experience was far more rewarding than that from mythic-level demons.
In just a few seconds, all the Supremes perished.
The hellish scene vanished, leaving Qi Yuan at level 148.
As one progresses, the gap between small levels grows, requiring endless time to bridge.
Qi Yuan was just 2 levels away from mid-level Supreme.
However, he didn't need time; he just needed to kill, and his experience would grow.
But this was just leveling.
Mastering origin abilities, from time to the micro level, required his own efforts.
Qi Yuan grinned, sweeping his gaze over everyone present, "Do you understand how to kill now?"
The previous battle was slow and wasteful, dragging on forever.
It lacked the efficiency of Qi Yuan's clean and decisive strike.
"We understand." The Supremes behind him quickly replied.
Wang Gai, among them, was horrified.
Sheep Chaos Supreme, however, beamed, flattering, "Compared to Blood Lord's single strike, our fights are like childish scuffles."
Qi Yuan accepted the flattery, his gaze finally settling on the solitary Ning Tao, his smile playful, "You're not leaving?"
Ning Tao clutched the chain tightly, looking at the blood-red figure, the fear in her eyes fading, "If you don't speak, how dare I leave?"
"If you had left earlier, I probably wouldn't have stopped you." Qi Yuan said calmly.
Ning Tao was stronger than the Purple Daoist.
Of course, Qi Yuan could have stopped her, but it would have been costly.
He had complex feelings about Ning Tao, an NPC.
Ning Tao looked at Qi Yuan, still clutching the chain, her expression unnatural, suppressing something, possibly fear, or something else.
"You saved my life by killing these Supremes. I have nothing to repay you with..."
Qi Yuan interrupted her, asking, "Do you know about the Blood Palace?"
Ning Tao shook her head in confusion.
"Do you know the Blood Lord?"
She shook her head again.
"Do you know the Canary? She's a very proud, vain girl I've been looking for." Qi Yuan looked at Ning Tao, a gentle light in his blood-red eyes.
[Ning Tao, level 197, Palace Master of the Heavenly Heart Palace, one of the cursed Northern Demons.]
Ning Tao shook her head, "I don't know. She must be very important to you?"
"Yes, I've been looking for her." Qi Yuan said, "I saved your life on a whim. You don't need to repay me. If you meet her, tell her I'm in Wugui City... waiting for her."
Qi Yuan's gaze was profound.
Ning Tao looked at him and replied, "I won't thank you for such a great favor. I'll keep an eye out for her."
After a while, she suddenly asked, "Have we met before? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity?"
"Maybe in a dream." Qi Yuan laughed.
After laughing, he addressed all the Supremes present.
"Swear an oath to the heart demon, that today's events will not be leaked. Understand?"
The Supremes quickly swore their oaths without hesitation.
Ning Tao did the same.
"With the heart demon oath sworn, you may leave." Qi Yuan said generously to Ning Tao.
Originally, Qi Yuan remembered the "humiliation" he suffered in the underground palace, almost being forced to call "mom."
He planned to make Ning Tao, a Grand Supreme, call him "daddy" before letting her go.
But he thought it was too perverse, not fitting his high and mighty Blood Lord image.
Ning Tao glanced at Qi Yuan, clutching the chain tightly, and disappeared in a flash.
After a while, Ning Tao landed in the desert, looking at the blood ball behind her, murmuring, "Husband, the Canary must be a lovely girl."
She touched her left cheek.
"Definitely prettier than my ugly face."
She took one last look behind her, then disappeared in a flash.
...
Three years later.
In Great Grief City, Yun He finally arrived.
His white crane robe stained with blood, his aura unstable.
On his way to Wugui City, he encountered the first general under the Supreme, the Demon Crocodile.
Naturally, they fought fiercely.
After years of battle, both were wounded, and they finally separated.
Now, Yun He's face was as pale as paper, his aura unstable.
He sat in the palace, looking puzzled.
"Where is my junior sister?" he asked.
A Supreme from Great Grief City approached, respectful.
"Reporting to Grand Supreme Yun He, your junior sister Huang Mengling left Great Grief City five years ago on urgent business." This Supreme was only at the initial stage.
"Where is the city lord of Great Grief City?" Yun He asked again.
"He went to Wugui City for some matters." The Supreme answered respectfully.
Yun He's eyes flashed with complex emotions, "How is Wugui City now?"
The Supreme hesitated before answering, "I've been in seclusion and don't know much about Wugui City, but it should be the same as years ago, with a few Supremes."
Yun He showed no change in expression, finally saying, "You may go."
The Supreme left, head bowed.
The empty palace left Yun He alone, his eyes filled with worry.
"Something's... strange."
"If I remember correctly, the city lord of Great Grief City is Supreme Mila, and his father is Grand Supreme Miku!"
Upon arriving at Great Grief City, he sensed something amiss.
He vaguely felt several terrifying auras lurking in Great Grief City.
All Grand Supremes!
These Grand Supremes hid in Great Grief City, not coming to see him.
This was troubling.
"Could it be... the news about Wugui City is false, and this is a trap for me?" Yun He's face darkened.
If true, it meant Grand Supreme Miku had betrayed the south and joined the north.
The south's situation would worsen.
Out of the eighty-eight thousand cities, most had already fallen.
One in ten remained.
A Grand Supreme's betrayal would shake the balance.
If he was killed, the White Emperor's support would be cut, further endangering the south.
"I must... leave here." Yun He felt great danger and needed to leave.
But how was another problem.
If he was the target, escaping would be difficult.
He was deeply worried.
Meanwhile, in the depths of Great Grief City, several Grand Supremes whispered.
"Grand Supreme Yun He is here. What about our plan?"
"Humph, continue. If he interferes, he stays in Great Grief City forever!"
"One Grand Supreme won't change the situation!"
...
In Wugui City, Qi Yuan lazily lay on a master chair, his broken sword harvesting demons on the conveyor belt.
He had now reached mid-level Supreme by Flowwind Realm standards.
"Having many subordinates is great." Qi Yuan sighed.
Now, the Blood Palace had nearly two thousand Supremes.
Every day, many Supremes went out, capturing demons for Qi Yuan to kill.
His experience grew rapidly.
"Unfortunately, my level has increased, but understanding origin abilities is slow."
Supremes in this realm needed to improve their origin abilities to advance.
Qi Yuan only needed to level up.
However, his origin abilities couldn't be leveled up through experience; he needed to comprehend them.
Fortunately, with endless source power, Qi Yuan's first origin ability, Void Realm Ruler's Heart Demon, reached a terrifying level.
The quantity was overwhelming.
He couldn't exhaust it.
This ability reached the micro level.
But Great Forgetfulness Mental Method had no progress, still at the time level.
"Seems my talent is too poor. Without this game, I'd be a nobody in the Canglan Realm, probably not even entering the Divine Light Sect."
Qi Yuan was disappointed.
He often tried to understand Great Forgetfulness Mental Method.
But every next day, he forgot the previous day's progress.
How could he comprehend it?
"Too hard, too hard, this game is too hard to play!" Qi Yuan lamented.
Great Forgetfulness Mental Method wasn't for humans.
If the micro level was this hard, what about engraving?
If he engraved it on his body and soul, Qi Yuan suspected he'd become an idiot.
"Brother, brother, Supreme Mila is here to see you!" Chen Huan rushed into the underground palace, anxious.
"Can't you see I'm screwing in bolts? Not seeing." Qi Yuan waved.
What Supreme Mila, he wasn't interested.
"Brother, Supreme Mila's father is Grand Supreme Miku, a Grand Supreme!" Chen Huan emphasized.
Qi Yuan smiled, "Finally, a high-level NPC?"
A high-level NPC might be good or bad.
But it didn't matter to Qi Yuan.
Just a game.
"See him." Qi Yuan changed his mind, curious about Supreme Mila and his intentions.
He also wanted to see if he'd be an enemy.
If so, that'd be great.
After a few seconds, footsteps echoed.
The underground palace was dim, candle flames flickering.
A man in a green robe entered, exuding the arrogance of a noble family.
Supreme Mila approached, bowing respectfully, "Mila greets the Blood Lord."
Qi Yuan continued watching the cute demons, ignoring Supreme Mila, "Speak quickly, I'm busy."
Supreme Mila, despite the cold reception, showed no displeasure, saying, "I've come to present a great opportunity to the Blood Lord."
"Oh?" Qi Yuan grew interested, finally looking at Supreme Mila, "It better be great."
Now, Qi Yuan was only interested in big things.
He wanted to refine something enormous into his golden core.
Only then could he challenge the Bright Palace.
"The Blood Lord, born a sage, created thousands of Supremes, shocking the world.
My father, Grand Supreme Miku, is a top figure in the south.
He greatly admires the Blood Lord but cannot visit Wugui City." Supreme Mila spoke eloquently.
"Get to the point." Qi Yuan was impatient.
"My father has gathered allies, willing to serve the Blood Lord as the ruler of the world!" Supreme Mila said excitedly, "The Blood Lord can help others become Supremes, you should be the world's ruler.
Neither the White Emperor nor the Supreme can compare."
Qi Yuan laughed.
Playing a game, and the NPCs wanted to crown him?
Supreme Mila continued, "The Blood Palace is strong but lacks mid-level and Grand Supremes.
My father, Grand Supreme Miku, is willing to lead Grand Supremes to serve you."
Supreme Mila was extremely respectful.
"Anything else?" Qi Yuan asked.
"I have a sister, three hundred years old, beautiful.
She admires the Blood Lord, and my father wishes to send her to the Blood Palace as your consort."
Qi Yuan's expression became playful.
This NPC knew how to work, even offering his sister.
But he said, "I'm not interested in being some world ruler. Your offer doesn't interest me.
And I've never met your sister."
His words were full of rejection.
Supreme Mila looked disappointed.
His grand plan seemed to be failing.
But he persisted, "In half a month, the Blood Lord will hold a sermon. May I attend?"
Qi Yuan glanced at him, "Fine, leave."
"Thank you, Blood Lord." Supreme Mila left without delay.
The large palace was left with Qi Yuan and the demons on the conveyor belt.
He murmured, "We're all old foxes, no need for charades."
He looked at the demons, smiling, "Fatten the pig, grow its wings."
