Chapter 1052: Chapter 1050: No Escape (3 updates)
“Continue speaking.”
Su Chen vaguely understood a little.
“Simply put, if a person’s life trajectory is 0—20—50—100—500—300—40—10—0, it forms a parabolic process. There is a beginning and an end, birth and death, cause and effect. It is complete, a circle. If Xi devours soone at the 100-point, then that person’s life would only be 0—20—50—100. The process from 100—500—300—40—10—0 would no longer exist. These experiences that should have happened, which were decreed by the heavens, are gone now. What happens then? They must be transferred onto Xi, because it was Xi who forcibly disrupted and severed their cause and effect.”
“I understand.” Su Chen nodded, finally comprehending.
“I’m talking about ordinary people. If it were just the cause and effect of an ordinary person, Xi could bear it. But everyone’s cause and effect is different. For example, the life trajectory of an ordinary person on Earth might simply be 0—100—0. That’s straightforward. If Xi devours them, it’s no big deal. But for so individuals, like you, Su Chen, their life’s cause and effect might span from 1 million to 1 billion to 1 million. If Xi devoured you, she wouldn’t be able to withstand it. This woman nad Hongying is probably a similar case.”
“The starting point of cause and effect can be as high as 1 million?” Su Chen appeared puzzled again.
“For ordinary people, the starting and ending point of their cause and effect is naturally 0. But so people are not ordinary, like reincarnators. In this life, they carry the imnse cause and effect of their past lives the mont they’re born. Their starting point is already at 1 million. Any issue with that?”
Su Chen nodded again, with a deeper understanding.
Cause and effect, what a profound concept.
“However, this only applies to Xi. Xi can devour the cause and effect along with her target. Others, though, cannot. For instance, if you kill Hongying before you, there won’t be any question of cause and effect,” Jiuyou continued.
“Even if there were cause and effect, I would still kill this wretched woman.” Su Chen licked his lips. The Hongying before him was as good as dead!!! Su Chen’s killing intent surged!
He did not stir up trouble, but he was not afraid of it either.
These people sought to silence him simply because he held certain secrets.
Heh.
Very well.
Not just these individuals, but the forces behind them as well.
They all deserved to die.
Perhaps, in the eyes of these people and their backers, he was just an ant for now. But so what? Yes, an ant can indeed be squashed easily. However, should you fail to squash it, don’t bla it if one day it bites you to death.
“Where is the Lotus Needle?” The next mont, Hongying spoke up, her voice icy, carrying a lofty coldness, and an endless killing intent that was chillingly dangerous.
“I don’t know.” Su Chen shook his head, a mocking glint in his eyes. “Instead of worrying about where the Lotus Needle is, you might want to worry about your own situation.”
Su Chen smirked.
Barred his teeth with a sinister grin.
Killing intent radiated from him.
“You want to kill ?” Hongying was montarily stunned, then laughed. Yes, she laughed: “Su Chen, you’re so naive!!!”
Her words fell.
“Is that so? I’ve always been naive. Woman, I assure you, your death day is today. I am going to crush your skull.” Su Chen’s eyes glimred incomparably, like the stars in the heavens.
Hongying said nothing further.
Instead, she retrieved an item.
A very, very exquisite box.
A perfectly square box.
The box was covered with a plethora of mysterious patterns, lifelike and intricate.
As Hongying drew out the box, the three n who had accompanied her all turned pale.
Glancing at each other, they were utterly shocked.
“Do you know what this is?” Hongying fixed her stare on Su Chen, sneering.
“No idea. You sure have a lot of treasures.” Su Chen shook his head, snorted, and said, although her strength was indeed formidable, it was slightly inferior to his own. He could definitely suppress martial cultivators at the Eternal Dominion Fifth Level Realm with ease, while Hongying was only at the Fourth Level—one minor level beneath him.
But Hongying had far too many treasures, each one unimaginably terrifying.
Whether it was that golden rope or the Silver Needles devoured by Xi—they were exceptional.
And now, Hongying produced yet another box.
Although Su Chen outwardly showed no particular expression, in his mind, he was clearly on high alert.
“You’ll find out soon.” The next mont, Hongying smirked mysteriously. She carefully opened the box.
When the box was opened, in an instant—
Suddenly.
A black shadow, like a specter, rippled out from the box.
That black shadow resembled a mass of fog, extrely strange and dark.
“A Soul Devouring Beast?” Su Chen stared intently at the black specter, his heart overwheld by shock. She even had a Soul Devouring Beast?
“Master, this one’s mine,” Physical Ball suddenly grew excited, transmitting directly to Su Chen.
“Yours? You want to devour it?” Su Chen found this quite odd.
“Of course. I can sense it. It slls delicious.” Physical Ball’s tone practically dripped with hunger.
“Uh? Isn’t it your kind? Aren’t you both Soul Devouring Beasts? A Soul Devouring Beast devouring another Soul Devouring Beast?” Su Chen was rather speechless.
“Master, who said Physical Ball is a Soul Devouring Beast?” Physical Ball dropped a bombshell of information.
“Huh?” Su Chen was dumbfounded, as was Jiuyou.
“Master, Physical Ball isn’t a Soul Devouring Beast. Physical Ball holds so inherited mories, faint and shallow, but even from those fragile fragnts, it knows—it is not a Soul Devouring Beast but sothing much more advanced. It just temporarily appears similar. What Soul Devouring Beasts can devour, Physical Ball can devour. And what they can’t devour, Physical Ball can still devour.”
“Alright!” Su Chen was increasingly at a loss for words.
“Young boy Su, it looks like you’ve stumbled upon a heaven-defying Supre Treasure!” Jiuyou exclaid. “Even I don’t know Physical Ball’s true origins for now, but it must be far more terrifying than we can imagine.”
Su Chen nodded, unable to deny that he was thrilled.
The more powerful, mysterious, and unimaginable Physical Ball was, the better.
After all, he and Physical Ball were bound by a contract.
One entity in essence.
In the world of martial cultivation, the bond between two beings who have ford a contract is closer than that of spouses, companions, or even blood kin like parents and children.
After all, as a husband, son, or parent, if your wife, parents, or children were to die, would you die at that exact sa mont? Of course not. However, with a contractual bond, such is the case.
If Su Chen were to die, Physical Ball would perish as well.
The two bound beings share life and death.
They are truly one.
For this reason, Physical Ball’s strength was equivalent to Su Chen’s own. There was no distinction.
Naturally, Su Chen was overjoyed.
“Master, do nothing right now. Let that Soul Devouring Beast enter. Hmmph.” Physical Ball said, “Once it enters, it won’t be able to escape.”
“Fine!” Su Chen nodded, allowing the Soul Devouring Beast to directly rge with his body. He wasn’t afraid in the least, even if Physical Ball weren’t there. Why? Because he had no Soul Sea. Any kind of Divine Soul-related attack would be useless against him, even one from a Soul Devouring Beast.
