Chapter 1774: Chapter 479: Died Unjustly, Advantage Is Mine
"No one ever complains about eating honey when they know it’s regurgitated by bees."
Yu Ziqing staggered, hugging the wine jar as he left the Dao Court, leaving the Five Little Ones inside staring at each other, bewildered by what kind of madness Yu Ziqing was acting up.
Yu Ziqing lugged the wine jar, placing it heavily before the Moon God.
"Look, I caught something strange in the deep sea. Just wait and see; I’m sure I can brew it into wine, and it’s going to pack a punch!"
The Moon God beamed, clapping Yu Ziqing heavily on the shoulder.
"Well done! Someday, let’s try capturing the All Gods next, maybe their brew will be even better."
The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, joyfully drinking together.
The Fire Bird on Yu Ziqing’s shoulder was so terrified that it had shut down all its senses, burying its head under its wings like an ornament.
Even the Two Devils inside Yu Ziqing’s boots had curled up into balls. They had long grown accustomed to Yu Ziqing’s aura, but that was under normal circumstances.
Now, even though Yu Ziqing’s current state didn’t target them, and he instinctively avoided harming them, they still couldn’t withstand it.
"Maybe this wine can really be made." The Moon God looked at the wine jar, a trace of anticipation in his eyes.
At this moment, Yu Ziqing felt the call of the Seventh Floor ring.
He casually lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and his consciousness entered the Seventh Floor ring.
Upon reaching the Seventh Floor, he saw Yang already waiting there, but Yang’s form seemed like it was missing frames.
Seeing Yu Ziqing turned into a frame-dropping warrior, Yang immediately waved a hand, conjuring lines of words before him, to tell Yu Ziqing what had happened in the present world.
Upon seeing the words Human Devil, Yu Ziqing immediately burst into laughter.
"I thought the Human Devil King was long dead, didn’t expect him to have one more trick up his sleeve.
This is really great. As long as he doesn’t revive, no one can completely kill him.
I understand now, I just happen to be lacking materials to brew wine, this practically delivers them to me."
Yu Ziqing chuckled heartily as he left.
Yang watched Yu Ziqing flickering away, unable to make out what Yu Ziqing said.
He only saw a human-shaped black shadow, yet could tell, Yu Ziqing’s state seemed off.
Yu Ziqing opened his eyes, increasingly unlike a human, with blood flames burning in his eyes, growing darker in color, and the ominous aura upon his body, more ominous than even a Blood Moon.
He stood up, one hand on the shoulder of the Moon God, laughing heartily.
"Do you know the Human Devil King? He’s about to revive, isn’t that wonderful, I am just missing a material to brew wine.
Just watch, brother is going to transform into a bee today and brew a rare vintage."
"The All Gods? That would be absolutely fantastic, wine brewed from the All Gods is definitely going to pack a punch!" The Moon God’s eyes shone, his smile growing more wicked and extravagant.
"I’ll go right now."
Yu Ziqing reached out and grabbed the Fire Bird playing dead on his shoulder.
"Rise and shine, time to get to work."
"No need for this little guy, I’ll send you."
The Moon God thought for a moment, extended a hand, and like a wicked Devil, tore off a rib from his own body, handing it to Yu Ziqing.
In an instant, the splendor of the Blood Moon poured into Yu Ziqing’s body like water through a floodgate.
The blessing of the Moonlight Divine Skills instantly climbed even further on the existing foundation.
"Is it potent enough?"
"It is."
Yu Ziqing laughed delightedly, drew a finger across his own belly, slicing a gash open, and stuffed that rib right into his abdomen.
In an instant, the blessing climbed an entire level.
"Now it’s more than enough."
The Moon God waved a hand, and the crimson moonlight transformed into a blood-colored path, as Yu Ziqing staggered away.
...
Finally, it was August 16th in the current world, and the battlefield conflicts had more or less drawn to an end.
The brutal battle concluded with Dadui’s victory, though Daqian suffered heavy losses.
The Dragon Elephant Army of Dadui also bore heavy casualties, though most were merely wounded.
For Body Cultivators, as long as they weren’t dead, recovery was always a possibility.
Especially after becoming Devilic, their recovery power far surpassed what it used to be, perhaps one month of recuperation and they’d be lively once more.
The great battle concluded, yet the Demonic Qi amassed on the battlefield gradually formed a gigantic human skull.
From everywhere, Demonic Qi and Devil Thought continued to converge here.
No one was left here.
Some strong individuals wanted to investigate, but only managed to take a glance from afar before feeling Devil Thought growing inside, those with inadequate strength, would risk becoming Devilic just by looking.
At the Void Cliff, the Cliff Divine King had already traveled far from his original place.
He glanced back toward the present world, letting out a light chuckle.
He had waited for this moment for a long time.
No one would anticipate that his target from the beginning was the Moon God.
Back then when the Human Devil King fell, his rank shattered, he took a gamble, sacrificing everything.
Since then, everyone within the human race had the potential to become Devilic, everyone had the risk.
This Devilic state, had no inherent relation with the seeds sown by the Yin Devil.
The Yin Devil sowed seeds merely to nourish the Yin Devil Mother, to nurture that Sea of Illusion.
Between Great Devils, there is no such thing as one-sided sacrifice.
After all these years, it was already the case that cultivators could all become Devilic—it had become very simple, to the point that not even Dharma Methods were necessary.
Among the All Gods, the Seven Yin King’s infiltration into the present world, into the human race, wasn’t extensive yet.
The most thorough infiltration and the highest cost was that of the Human Devil King.
He and the Ancient Sea God schemed for a long time, finally waiting for this day.
As long as the Human Devil King revives, the strongest power of the human race, all cultivators, in an instant, could all become Devilic, transforming into Devils, all under the Human Devil King’s control.
The Hungry Ghost doesn’t matter, given the complex Almsgiving Ceremony and the extremely rare sweet rain, barely a few strong ones could be resolved.
Among the billions of cultivators in this world, no one can save them, no one can manage them.
The strong ones don’t matter anymore, the Ancient Sea God has long given up targeting the strong, changing the focus to the largest group of the weak, suddenly felt the world opened up, everything seemed easier.
The pace and initiative, all seemed to be back in their hands.
