Chapter 965: Bring Under Control

“I’ve never beaten a woman in my entire life! Aye, this has nothing to do with me!”

Greathorns waved his hands vigorously, trying his best to disassociate himself from the little crying fiend. Wu Qi could not help rolling his eyes—since when could a mighty Dao Fusing expert lie so shamelessly? Since when did Greathorns’s moral quality become so low?

The lion man, who a moment ago was hacking the little fiend with his longsword and smashing her with his thick, heavy shield, had long put away everything in his hands. By now, he was lying on his stomach atop a branch, snoring, as if he had nothing to do with anything. When Greathorns saw that, he simply walked to the shore of the lava sea and dived into the boundless magma, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

What an indolent pair of master and disciple! Wu Qi felt a little headache and touched his nose as he looked at the little fiend sprawled on the ground, whose nose was bloody and face swollen from the beating.

He considered for a moment, then walked up to her and said in a deep voice, “Heal yourself first. We’ll talk after that!”

The little she-fiend widened her deep, dreamy eyes, her legs kicking wildly. “Just let me die!” she screamed. “I’ve never suffered such a hardship before! Damnit! No one has ever dared to provoke me in the Chaotic World! Why am I being bullied and tortured like this after coming here?”

She gritted her teeth and stared at Wu Qi. Suddenly, her straight, fair leg kicked up, thrusting hard toward Wu Qi’s crotch. “Why is this place so different? Why every movement of that fella with horns comes with the power of the Heavenly Dao?”

Wu Qi let her leg struck his crotch. A loud noise rang out, and the fiend howled in agony as her shank broke into a few pieces from the counterforce. Her leg was misshapen, and beneath her fair skin, a large patch of purple bruise quickly spread out. She fixed her eyes at Wu Qi as if she was looking at a ghost, while reflexively pushing herself backward with her hands.

Her fiend cultivation technique and mystic arts were indeed fearsome, and both her cultivation base and magic power had reached the peak of Dao Breaking realm. However, this was the first time she came to Pangu World, and it seemed that she had not yet figured out the difference between Dao Fusing realm and Dao Breaking realm. Besides, it seemed that the group of bodhisattvas and arhats from the Nether Branch of Buddhist League, including Kṣitigarbha, purposely did not tell her that there was a realm called Dao Fusing in Pangu World.

With her cultivation base at the peak of Dao Breaking realm, those Chaos Fiend Gods in Chaotic World born during the same period as Wu Qi were nowhere near as good as her. Wu Qi remembered that when his predecessor, Lord Yuan Ling, was born in Yuan Ling Dark Realm, his cultivation base was not even at the level of ninth-tier Primordial realm. It was only after a very long time, after he had struggled to survive in Chaotic World for countless eons, that he eventually gained the prowess of a Dao Breaking expert.

Therefore, she was telling the truth when she said that no one had ever dared to provoke her in the Chaotic World. Strong living beings were born there at all times, but very few of them reached Primordial realm at birth, not to mention freaks born with the cultivation base of a Dao Breaking expert. In the Chaotic World, one could act like a tyrant with the cultivation base at the peak of Dao Breaking realm, so long as he or she did not encounter those old monsters who had lived for ages.

But, in Pangu World, figures of Dao Fusing realm who had fused with the Heavenly Dao could muster the power of this world to attack the enemy. This little she-fiend was only a foreigner, and she was subjected to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao here. So, when facing Greathorns, who was a Dao Fusing expert, she was naturally badly beaten and could not fight back.

As wild as she was, she tried to sneak attack Wu Qi just now, but she had neglected the fact that what she cultivated were divine abilities and mystic arts. Her fiend technique was indeed amazing; however, her fleshly body was not as strong. On the other hand, the weakest part of Wu Qi’s body was at least tens of thousands of times stronger than her toughest bone. It was like someone trying to shatter a diamond with a piece of tofu. Naturally, it was the tofu that would break into pieces.

Wu Qi tilted his head and looked at the little she-fiend while she stared back at him with her wide dreamy eyes.

After being brutally beaten by Greathorns and his disciple, she was severely wounded and her current prowess was less than ten percent of her peak, at most equivalent to Wu Qi’s current magic power. Besides, as this place was Greathorns’s lair, it was filled with his terrible pressure and aura. So, she dared not to move recklessly. Meanwhile, Wu Qi was trying to figure out what to do with this powerful but extremely wild and vindictive fiend.

After pondering for a long time, he took a step forward and leaned over to ask the she-fiend, “How long has it been since you were born in the chaos?”

She blinked and spent some time counting on her fingers, then said, “Three Yahengmo have come and gone.”

Upon hearing that, the lion man was so shocked that his tail stood up. Meanwhile Greathorns, who had dived into the lava sea, poked most of his body out of the magma. They both stared at her as if they were looking at a ghost. The so-called ‘Yahengmo’ was the name given to a unique energy tide in Chaotic World by the living beings born there. No one knew where it came from or where it ended up. In any case, there was a Yahengmo sweeping across the entire Chaotic World in every period.

The energy tide contained an extremely powerful life force. Some of the living beings in Chaotic World had always thought that it was the origin of all lives in their world, and that it had catalyzed the various extraordinary artifacts and caused them to give birth to the fearsome Chaos Fiend Gods.

There was no sun in the Chaotic World, so the living beings there used Yahengmo to measure time. Since she was born, the little she-fiend had only experienced three Yahengmo. It also meant that her actual age was only three periods, or some three hundred thousand years.

In such a short time, she already had the attainment and magic power at the peak of Dao Breaking realm. This little she-fiend’s innate talent was simply startling! Greathorns and the lion man were so shocked that their hairs stood on their ends. They finally understood what a real genius was capable of.

Similar to Wu Qi’s predecessor, Lord Yuan Ling, when Greathorns was born, he only had a cultivation base at the peak of Gold Immortal realm. He had swallowed the weaklings and struggled to survive for countless years, going through at least hundreds of millions of Yahengmo, from which he absorbed an immeasurable amount of life force. Only then did he manage to attain a fearsome cultivation base at a later time. In the end, it was because Pangu had created the world with his supreme divine power that Greathorns and some thirty other Chaos Fiend Gods were able to fuse their divine souls with the Heavenly Dao and step into the imperishable realm of Dao Fusing.

And yet, this little she-fiend had attained the cultivation base of the peak of Dao Breaking realm in just three periods. How strong would she become in the future?

Greathorns smacked his lips as he tilted his head and looked at her. At length, he breathed a long sigh and said, “Old monster, keep a close eye on this girl! We can’t let her fall into those fellas’ hands, even if that means we have to destroy her. Otherwise, we will all be in trouble.”

Wu Qi thought for a moment, then walked to the side of the she-fiend and pressed both palms on her shoulders. She shuddered, and almost instinctively kicked up one leg toward his crotch. But, she immediately recalled the cruel treatment her other leg had suffered a moment ago. Trembling at the thought, she hurriedly pulled her leg back.

Streams of light rushed out of Wu Qi’s palms, nourishing the she-fiend’s body and gradually healing her injuries.

It was a wisp of innate life force Wu Qi had extracted from countless innate divine trees in Yuan Ling Dark Realm, which had a very strong nourishing and rejuvenating effect on all living things. Although her injuries appeared to be serious, they were nothing but external wounds. With Wu Qi’s help, they were fully healed in just four hours.

Wu Qi loosened his grips on her shoulders, then pointed at his back and said, “Now, can you remove this soul-locking seal for me?”

She curled her upper lip and sneered, “I’ve never spared anyone whom I wanted to kill.”

Before her voice had died away, Wu Qi kicked her hard in the face. His terrible physical strength exploded out, stretching her neck three inches longer. Amidst the sound of bones cracking, he punched and kicked her, beating her black and blue; a few times more serious than the injury Greathorns had given her just now.

With both hands tightly clutched around her throat, Wu Qi said in a fierce voice, “What about now? Will this soul-locking seal still work after I have killed you?”

A boundless killing intent burst out of him. Wu Qi really wanted to kill this she-fiend. If she could not be brought under control, he could always kill her. There were all kinds of strange and eccentric living beings in the Chaotic World, among whom were countless terrible existences with bizarre or perverse characters, whose instincts were that of slaughtering and devouring. One typical example was the fiends from outer domains. They could only be deterred with violence and terror; affection and kindness were nothing but jokes to them.

The little she-fiend cocked her head as she stared at Wu Qi and said seriously, “We will perish together!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Wu Qi broke her neck, and then Yuan Ling True Flame entered her body through her seven orifices. As the scorching flame capable of destroying everything wrapped around the core of her divine soul, Wu Qi said in a deep voice, “If that is the case, you leave me with no choice but to destroy you. I have nothing else to say to a fiend from some outer domain.”

Those powerful living beings in the Chaotic World—including even existences who were rigid and inflexible—were actually negotiable; but not some eccentric existences among the fiends of the outer domains. They were not afraid of death; they did not even have the concept of life and death, and the only meaning of their existence was to devour and destroy everything. There was really nothing to say when dealing with such existences.

The little she-fiend’s whole body was shivering. She opened her mouth and was about to utter some threatening remark when Wu Qi repeatedly slapped her in the face, making her head reel and throwing her into confusion. Meanwhile, Yuan Ling True Flame, which had wrapped around the core of her divine soul, began to slowly burn the very foundation of her existence. She did not take it seriously at first, but when she realized that the core of her divine soul was about to be dissolved and disintegrated under the intense heat of the flame, she finally uttered a screaming cry.

“Spare my life! I’ll obey you!” She cried out in a hoarse voice, “According to the rules of the Fiend League, whoever is stronger is the winner! You are stronger than me, so I’ll obey you!”

Greathorns stroked his chin and said to Wu Qi, “This girl can’t be trusted, can she?”

Wu Qi sneered as he pulled out the core of her divine soul and began to construct a very complex formation in it with the Yuan Ling True Flame.

It was seven days and seven nights before the formation was finally completed. Wu Qi shoved the core back into her spiritual ocean, then pulled her up and flew into the distance. As he took his leave, he smiled at Greathorns and said, “Thanks for your help, Greathorns! I’ll bring you some fine wine next time!”

Greathorns smacked his lips and grumbled in a low voice, “This girl is only one step away from Dao Fusing realm. How dare you bring her with you?”

Shaking his head, he dived back down the lava sea, too lazy to care about Wu Qi.
