"Who am I?"
"Where am I?"
"What was I planning to do in the first place?"
Lu Yu stared at the white pickaxe condensed from Spider Silk in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Cultivator, stop daydreaming! Hurry up and dig!"
Little Mouse shouted from the side.
Using its Gigantification skill, it expanded to two ters tall, put on the Worker Mouse Set, donned a safety helt, and began to swing the Spider Silk pickaxe, smashing it fiercely against the huge rock before it.
Ting!
Following a sharp sound, the pickaxe trembled, causing Little Mouse to shiver and its fur to stand on end.
But despite the imnse force, it only managed to knock off a few small stone fragnts, which fell into a basket woven from Spider Silk.
Beside it was another Mouse Clone in the form of an Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant.
Its efficiency was much better. With a series of thuds, the recoil was quickly dissipated by its special body structure.
It soon shattered a large pile of rocks, digging out a small passage.
Lu Yu watched this scene with complicated feelings.
He had clearly planned to act as an Extradomain Heavenly Demon, delivering all sorts of Dinsionality Reduction Strikes to the creatures of the Small World. Although he wouldn't go as far as an evil Beast Tar and treat the Small World as a Breeding Ground and Flesh Field, he still intended to harvest a huge wave of resources.
To this end, he had formulated a comprehensive plan: enter the world, understand its civilization, then establish a faction, harvest the Small World's resources, and finally reach the peak of his life. The process was detailed, the plan solid and steady.
If a suitable opportunity arose, he could also skip a few steps.
He just never expected…
He'd skipped straight to the end!
After entering the world, he was directly buried!
After Lu Yu crossed the Realm Gate, he appeared inside a tomb chamber.
Other than an empty coffin made of pure gold and a few broken Stone Pillars, there was nothing else.
It was like a mausoleum soone had built in advance.
The original owner hadn't even had a chance to move in before it was sealed, resulting in this piece of underground real estate falling entirely into Lu Yu's lap!
What rotten (great) luck!
Lu Yu gave an Eye Roll. Piloting the Flying Coffin Ship in the Spirit Sea was one thing, but entering a Small World and being gifted a graveyard? This was VIP treatnt.
At this rate, apart from the paper Virgin Boys and Girls and a Small Villa, he pretty much had the complete set.
However, although Lu Yu was verbally disdainful, his body was very honest as he collected the Pure Gold Coffin into his Void Treasure Chest.
In the process, he glanced at it with his Eye of Truth and was surprised to find that it was just ordinary gold, not an Extraordinary Material.
There were no signs of tomb raiders having broken into the tomb, which ant the other Burial Goods weren't stolen, but simply non-existent.
Yet, a coffin cast from so much gold was left behind.
He didn't know if gold was abundant in this world, or if its Funerary Culture was just special!
Although the location of his appearance was quite Unlucky, Lu Yu, having made a small fortune, was satisfied.
Just as he was about to leave, he discovered a serious problem.
The entire graveyard was reinforced by the Transcendent Power of an unknown system.
Even the stones and Soil used to build the tomb were a special kind of transcendent material, making them extrely sturdy.
In terms of strength, it had already surpassed the scope of Spirituality Transformation and reached the Morning Star Rank!
His venture hadn't even begun, and he was already sealed!
'Could this be the work of the World Consciousness?'
After all, the Realm Gate's landing point was here, so Lu Yu's first suspect was the Small World's consciousness.
It was very likely that it had used this special Morning Star Rank seal as the world's first line of defense. This way, even if a Morning Star Rank Aberrant Body found the Realm Gate, it could be trapped here without destroying other places.
And the chances of failure were low!
Because the Prival Spirit Sea was just a Tributary of the Supre Mother River, a Morning Star Rank Aberrant Body was already the limit. Aside from special predators like the Giant Eel, most Aberrant Bodies or Beast Tars would follow the Mother River's Call and enter the next tributary!
This was the instinct of Life Evolution, and after a long ti, they would be rejected by the Prival Spirit Sea!
As for Ancient Existences… they could easily tear the world apart, but that was beyond the scope of consideration.
Most of them used so special ans to forcibly remain in the Prival Spirit Sea, and their numbers were not large.
This could be seen from the fact that not a single Ancient Existence had appeared during the "Lu Yu Wreaking Havoc in the Sea" incident.
Although the Luck Attribute from the [Great Fortune] buff played a part, it also showed that the probability of encountering them in the almost boundless Prival Spirit Sea was not high.
However, if Lu Yu were to lift the suppression of the Taboo Cursed Seal, he might just et a few, or even play with dozens of Ancient Existences.
And Lu Yu would be the one being played with…
'There's Spiritual Energy in the air, but the concentration is far too low compared to the Main World. And there's a… hmm, a Tainted feeling to it.
It really is like a Celestial from a Xianxia Novel of my Previous Life entering a Lower Realm. But it doesn't affect my pet beasts much.
The Beast Tar system of the Main World is truly impressive.'
'There are water stains and impact marks in the tomb.
It seems this Giant Eel Aberrant Body isn't in a hurry to eat the life in the Small World, but rather, because it can't break the seal, it can only use it for Fishing.'
'If I'm not mistaken, a character like a Prophet or Revelator probably appeared in this Small World and built this place under the arrangent of the World Consciousness.
If I'm right, it's likely connected to the entire Great Earth. The more you attack it, the greater the rebounding suppression, specifically designed to deal with Aberrant Bodies that have no Reason.
'
'From this, I can deduce that this world's Transcendent System should be quite advanced, with an upper limit of at least the Morning Star Rank. It's also possible they have Morning Star Materials but no corresponding Powerhouses…'
Lu Yu pondered, managing to deduce so information, completely unconcerned about being sealed.
After all, if he couldn't get out, he could still retreat to the Prival Spirit Sea and return to the real world.
Besides, although the seal was strong, for him, who possessed the [Eye of Truth], it wasn't a problem.
He could just dig his way out, bit by bit, from a weak point.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Others are Searching for Dragons and Dividing Gold, Raiding Tombs and Digging for Treasure. When it's my turn, it becos a Survival Ga, constantly digging my way out of a small graveyard…"
Little Spider beside him manipulated a large amount of Spider Silk into a shovel, tapping continuously and making tink, tink, tink sounds.
After filling the basket with gravel and soil, she placed it on a Spider Silk Rail to slide out and be piled up in a corner.
While Little Spider was busy, she heard her Master's sigh and said with concern:
"Ying ying!"
'Master, go and rest.
Leave everything to !'
()
Little Mouse, who had been working hard, was also startled, then suddenly realized!
Sister Spider was already doting on Big Bro, yet it was still desperately digging, like a groundhog!
The difference was clear!
Eldest Sister's thods were truly brilliant!
"It's fine, we should all be working together!"
Lu Yu shook his head. To get out sooner, he rolled up his sleeves and also picked up a pickaxe to start digging.
Because the seal was sensitive to Spiritual Energy, Lu Yu could only rely on his Physical Strength to work, otherwise, he might trigger the graveyard's suppression and reinforce the seal further.
"However, at this rate, it will take at least a day and a half to two days…"
Lu Yu glanced at the Spirit Lamp within his Spiritual Puzzle.
Its burning speed had slowed down abruptly. One hour in the Spirit Sea was equal to four hours in the Main World, and as one went deeper into the Mother River, the flow of ti would gradually even out.
At the current burning rate, he could stay in the Small World for about two days, so he didn't have to worry about ti passing too quickly.
As an Extradomain Heavenly Demon, he was actually working overti on Civil Engineering!
This profession is universal across all heavens; its potential is limitless!
As Lu Yu dug laboriously, he didn't notice the Taboo Cursed Seal in his soul silently blooming, but it was quickly suppressed again by [Fate's Protection].
A day and a half later, a group of Uninvited Guests suddenly arrived above the graveyard!
A large number of figures dressed in Black Monastic Robes printed with a Blood-Red 'One' Symbol entered the valley. The one in the lead was an effeminately handso man with long black hair.
He looked at the wilderness and said regretfully:
"As one of the Curse God Generals second only to the King of Curses, a human hero known as [Disaster Beast], once a high and mighty Important Figure, is actually buried under a patch of overgrown wasteland without even a Tombstone. Tell , isn't that just tragic…"
As he spoke, his subordinates herded a group of people over.
There were n and won among them, led by an old man with white hair and a white beard. His fingers trembled with agitation as he looked at the long-haired man and roared:
"Wang Jing, you lead the [Negative King Society] to slaughter and imprison the Descendants of the Curse God Generals like this! Sooner or later, you will get a Wanted Order from The Kingdom and the [White Orthodox Church]! Annihilation will be your end!"
"A wanted order? Annihilation?"
The long-haired man murmured softly, then shook his head and smiled.
"So what if it's The Kingdom? So what if it's the White Orthodox Church? They're just a bunch of losers who have walked down the wrong path.
Nothing in this world is Eternal and Indestructible.
If I et my death because of this, it just ans I wasn't strong enough. It'll be the perfect chance to subtract the burden of life, to welco the Great Lock of selflessness and emptiness, to bind my own fate, and with it, bear the strongest Curse and beco the first King of Curses achieved by a human! Hahahaha…"
Following his maniacal laughter, a shockwave surged, lifting his monastic robe and revealing a horrifying sight.
His abdon looked as if it had been gnawed away, revealing a huge bloody hole. Only his kidneys remained; the rest of his internal organs were gone.
A large Black Water Stream flowed within, a white shadow faintly visible, exuding a terrifying aura.
The others were so scared they shivered, their faces filled with terror.
"Lunatic! You're a complete and utter lunatic!"
The white-haired old man trembled all over, speaking with a mix of shock and anger:
"What in the world are you trying to do?"
Facing his question, Wang Jing wasn't angry. He smiled and said:
"Do you still rember how many years this world has been corroded by the Black Tide?"
The white-haired old man frowned and said, "Since the Black Moon Mutation, the Black Tide has been appearing for 253 years.
This is common knowledge. What are you trying to say?"
"I'm surprised you know it's been over two hundred years.
Ever since that black moon rose into the sky and caused ti to stir up the Black Tide, everything has changed.
The Curse Beasts, carrying the power of curses, erged from the Black Tide and directly crushed the Steam Machinery and Firearms that humanity was so proud of.
Humans fell from the top of the Food Chain, becoming Blood Food, and for the first ti in a long while, felt the Fear of Being Dominated by beasts.
Back then, just being alive was a luxury!
I have to say, humans are indeed a tenacious lifeform.
They were on the brink of total annihilation, yet they relied on their Wisdom to painstakingly research the patterns of the Curse Beasts, creating the Transcendent Curse Binding System. By sacrificing their own flesh and organs, they carried the Curse Beasts and beca glorious Curse Binders, even creating the Curse Arts Technology Civilization of today.
But unfortunately…"
Wang Jing spoke slowly, narrating the world's history, when his expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly:
"Every Curse Binder, while seemingly binding a Curse Beast, is actually just binding themselves. Human Flesh and Blood will eventually be corroded by the Curse Beast, finally suffering an Aberration and becoming bloated, until they beco a part of the Curse Beast, a Breeding Ground for them to incubate, mutating into an even more terrifying monster.
For example, The Fall of Blackrock City eight years ago was caused by the City Lord's Curse Beast losing control. The Kingdom covered up the truth, claiming it was the Aftermath of a Black Tide.
So you all actually know that the so-called Coexistence with Curse Beasts is just a self-deceiving lie.
The White Orthodox Church's Path of Addition was wrong from the very beginning.
It only allows humanity to be Barely Surviving for a little longer, but the Black Tide that cos every ten years is growing stronger and stronger.
Yet, the strongest among humans are only Curse God Generals.
So what if they are praised endlessly? It still can't hide the truth that humans cannot beco a King of Curses. That is the greatest mistake.
Faced with the awakening Kings of Curses, there is only one path… extinction…"
"Utterly ridiculous!"
The white-haired old man cut him off with a cold laugh, mocking:
"You've said so much, but what can you do? Are you only good at deceiving people?"
"Of course not. From a young age, I witnessed my parents' Curse Beast Imbalance and was deeply inspired.
That's why I created the [Negative King Society], with the goal of subtracting the disaster of the Curse Beasts from all living beings!"
Wang Jing shook his head and continued:
"Since flesh and blood itself becos a burden, then simply discard it. At the cost of flesh and organs, completely bind the Curse Beast and control its power through the mind.
In my vision, once I use subtraction to discard all flesh and blood, I will transform, under the power of the Curse Beast, into a special ntal Construct, a special Curse Cage, achieving the true Realm of [Emptiness], doing subtraction to seek emptiness."
"At that ti, I will ascend from a human to a higher lifeform, command nurous Curse Beasts, beco the first King of Curses in a human body, and liberate all of humanity!
The Negative King Society bears the power of the King of Curses, and also bears the mission of becoming the King of Humanity!"
Hearing these bewitching words, the many mbers of the [Negative King Society] also had fervent expressions, longing for that great mission and future.
They didn't see themselves as evil, but as fighting for the future of humanity!
"Forget it, I don't want to say any more."
The white-haired old man couldn't be bothered to speak anymore, because there was no point in arguing with a lunatic.
Setting aside whether this guy's idea would succeed, even if it did, the current Wang Jing already disregards life. So, when he subtracts all human essence, will he still recognize the identity of a "human"?
A King of Curses that is no longer human, what difference is there between him and the others?
The answer is, no difference!
It will only make humanity's situation more difficult, and even lead to its extinction!
That's why the Negative King Society beca the top Wanted Dark Organization by The Kingdom, with a threat level even higher than a typical Curse Beast of the Curse God General level.
However, the old man's silence did not satisfy Wang Jing. He looked at him calmly and said seriously:
"I really dislike being interrupted, but I can forgive your offense.
After all, for the future of humanity, I need greater power. And the Curse Beast of the Curse God General known as [Disaster Beast] is an excellent choice.
Don't even think about deceiving . A Curse Beast is a manifestation of the power of curses.
Apart from being devoured or sealed by a Gold Seal, it will not disappear naturally. Which ans, it, or they, should still be in the graveyard.
So, you will now need to tell the thod to undo the [Earthen Curse Coffin] curse art that the Disaster Beast Curse God General used to seal himself.
As long as I get what I want, I can let your family go!"
"Impossible!"
The white-haired old man's face turned red as he furiously rebuked:
"Since you know of the [Earthen Curse Coffin]'s existence, you should know that our ancestor—the Disaster Beast Curse God General—entered the Black Tide to solve the disaster for all of humanity.
He risked everything, successfully bypassed the Kings of Curses, and found the Black Moon, only to be Tainted by an even more terrifying contamination. When he returned, he was on the verge of losing control, in a half-mad state, and said he had sealed an evil existence within himself.
In order not to let the thing inside him and his Curse Beast escape and bring disaster to The Kingdom, he gathered the power and wisdom of many Curse God Generals of that ti. Using a large number of precious Curse Art Materials, he researched a special curse art, the [Earthen Curse Coffin].
Legend says only a King of Curses can undo it. That way, he could seal himself underground forever.
He also left an Ancestral Teaching, instructing us, his descendants, that while enjoying the wealth and glory bestowed by The Kingdom, we must shoulder the responsibility of guarding this graveyard for generations. The graveyard must never be opened! You claim to be doing this for humanity, yet you want to create an even greater disaster?"
However, faced with such a question, Wang Jing frowned and said flatly:
"It seems you don't wish to cooperate?"
The white-haired old man said defiantly, "I will never be an accomplice!"
The mont his voice fell, a middle-aged man behind him suddenly clutched his mouth as a black stream of water gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
The pain caused him to flail his arms like a drowning person. Water stread from his swollen eyes, making it impossible to tell if it was water or tears.
He looked at the old man before him and let out a pleading sound:
"Fa…ther… gurgle gurgle… save… gurgle gurgle gu…"
Before he could finish, the light in his eyes faded. He completely suffocated and fell to the ground.
His body began to swell and turn pale at a visible rate, as large amounts of water continued to pour out, soaking the ground.
This scene brought looks of terror to everyone's faces.
A few of them couldn't help but cry out in grief:
"Dad!"
"Husband!"
"Big Brother!"
"…"
"Wen'er!"
Watching his son die before him, the white-haired old man's eyes widened in fury. Sparks ignited from the location of his heart, and the surrounding temperature abruptly rose, causing the air to warp.
Boom!
High-temperature flas instantly engulfed his entire body, turning him into a charred figure burning with fire. The wild grass at his feet began to wither rapidly, turning to ash and dissipating.
Even the ground began to burn fiercely.
"So hot!"
Many mbers of the [Negative King Society] also felt the scorching heat and pressure, involuntarily taking a few steps back, their eyes blazing.
Is this the power of the Incineration Curse Beast?
As a descendant of a Curse God General's family, the white-haired old man was naturally a Curse Binder himself. He had fused with a Curse Beast at the cost of his heart through the inherited Curse Binding thod.
He controlled the Incineration Curse, using his own rage as fuel to transform into a Fire Demon and incinerate all enemies!
The legendary Disaster Beast Curse God General was said to command a special Curse Beast. Wherever it passed, all was Scorched Earth, as if a great drought had descended.
"I want you to die!"
The white-haired old man roared. The flas on his body surged, transforming into more than a dozen Single-Horned Fla Serpents that bit at Wang Jing from all directions, sealing off every escape route.
Boom!
The fla serpents struck Wang Jing, causing a violent explosion. A hot wind swept through, rolling up thick black smoke and scorching everything.
"Did it work?"
The white-haired old man's face lit up with surprise. The family mbers behind him were even more excited, seeing a glimr of hope for survival.
Splish-splash!
But the next mont, a torrential downpour suddenly began to fall. The drops landed on the Fire Demon form of the old man and instantly vaporized, turning into a large amount of steam.
"Not good!"
Although the old man reacted quickly and tried to retreat, he was a step too late. The mist before him suddenly condensed into a Giant Hand, gripping him tightly and lifting him into the air.
"Ahhhhh!"
Then, he was left to be drenched by the raindrops, which slowly extinguished his flas, causing him to let out a painful wail. He soon reverted to his previous form, though he now looked charred and utterly wretched.
"A descendant of a forr Curse God General, and his combat awareness is this poor? To think he'd try to fight my Drowning Curse with an Incineration Curse.
But it makes sense.
Otherwise, after living for so many years, you're still just a High-Level Curse Binder, not even a Curse Binder Master. All you know is how to wear luxurious clothes and maintain so-called high-society connections.
This comfortable and extravagant life has long since corroded your Will. What a waste of an excellent Curse Beast."
Wang Jing's calm voice sounded as the black smoke dissipated, revealing his appearance.
He was completely unhard. A Black Water Stream Shield swirled around him, within which the pale specter of a monkey-like figure was faintly visible.
It resembled a Water Ghost from folklore, longing to drag the living into the water to die in its place, so that it could be reincarnated.
And this was the Drowning Curse Beast he controlled!
It could drown any living being to death!
"It's over!"
Seeing this, everyone revealed looks of despair, while the mbers of the [Negative King Society] had looks of worship.
The white-haired old man lowered his head and said desolately:
"Just kill !"
"On the path to what is right, one always encounters obstacles. Ordinary people would be troubled, but I… I prefer to sweep them away!"
Wang Jing said with a smile, his gaze sweeping past the old man to an elegant woman in the crowd behind him.
He paused for a mont and said:
"That should be your eldest daughter-in-law, right? Truly a Lady from a Noble Family. A pity…"
As his voice fell, the elegant woman clutched her mouth, spewing out large amounts of black water, beginning to repeat the scene of the eldest son's drowning.
"Noooooo!"
At this mont, the white-haired old man roared, his heart filled with imnse regret. Why had he feared the power of the Curse Beast before, afraid it would affect his Lifespan, and thus didn't dare to master it further.
As a result, he could only be slaughtered at will now.
Compared to the power of curses,
Weakness is the greatest Original Sin!
But his roars and curses ant nothing to Wang Jing.
His gaze shifted to the white-haired old man's second son, and the drowning was repeated again.
Geh geh…
The monkey-like Drowning Curse Beast behind Wang Jing began to get excited.
The power of its curse grew stronger with each person it drowned.
If it could drown the entire kingdom, it might just beco a new King of Curses!
Watching his cherished family mbers die one after another before him, the white-haired old man felt his heart being twisted like a knife, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.
Especially when he saw Wang Jing's gaze land on his youngest son and granddaughter, he completely understood. If he didn't speak, his entire family would be buried here.
Uphold the Ancestral Teaching? Or protect his family?
He looked at his granddaughter, who had black water spilling from her mouth, made his decision, and said hoarsely:
"Let them go… I can tell you the thod to undo the [Earthen Curse Coffin]!"
After saying this, the old man's face grew even older, looking as if he was at the end of his rope.
Because he knew that even if he told the other party the thod to undo the seal, his whole family might not survive.
But he didn't dare to gamble anymore!
"If you had just said so earlier, no one would have had to die. So old, and still so foolish!"
Wang Jing withdrew the Drowning Curse and revealed a warm smile, as if the guy who had just killed without batting an eye wasn't him at all.
So, he put down the old man and had him begin to undo the special [Earthen Curse Coffin].
The old man didn't try any tricks, nor did he dare to.
He obediently followed the ancient inheritance, found the seal's Node, and undid it.
Finally, a Curse Binder Master was needed as a Sacrificial Offering to start the ritual.
The old man had already prepared to sacrifice himself.
However, unexpectedly, a Curse Binder Master from the [Negative King Society] voluntarily stepped forward and fanatically sacrificed himself.
The Curse Art Ritual was fully activated!
Rumble, rumble!
The entire valley began to tremble. The earth before Wang Jing cracked open, and with a trendous roar, the [Earthen Curse Coffin] rose from the ground.
It was…
The entire tomb!
It was just a little different from the huge graveyard he had imagined. It seed a bit…
Thin!
But Wang Jing didn't think much of it.
He looked at the enormous Coffin of the Earth and muttered:
"The Curse Beast hailed as the [Disaster] is right before my eyes. Once I obtain it, neither The Kingdom nor the White Orthodox Church will be able to stop .
Only then can I continue with the rest of The Plan and beco that eternal King of Curses!"
Just thinking about that future made Wang Jing's body tremble uncontrollably with excitent.
However, just as he was about to enter the [Earthen Curse Coffin], a voice suddenly rang out:
"Unsealing it right when I'm almost done, you've really got so nerve!"
The words were calm, yet they contained an indescribable fury!
Hearing this voice, Wang Jing's pupils quaked.
Everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't help but swallow hard.
Inside… there's a living person?
Is it the Curse God General?
Or the sealed evil existence?
