168: God is angry and people are resentful

Chapter 167 Heavens Wrath and Human Complaint

Pain!

Heart-piercing pain!!

Pain like death by a thousand cuts!!!

Long before Zheng Yi's left arm was ripped off by the demons, he felt a sharp pain throughout his entire body.

This intense pain instantly flooded his entire body, piercing straight into his Soul.

And after his head was torn off and devoured by the harpy demon, Zheng Yi was already completely dead.

Everything before his eyes was pitch black!

But the next second...

Another wave of clear and intense pain came from the surface of his body and all around, piercing straight into his Soul!

He abruptly opened his eyes, only to see scalpels-like wind blades appearing out of nowhere, slashing down at his body!

One slash!

Two slashes!

Three slashes!

One hundred slashes...!

Death by a thousand cuts!

He was undergoing the punishment of death by a thousand cuts!

Countless sharp blades emerged from the Void Realm, tearing and cutting piece after piece of flesh from his body.

That pain traveled from his skin to his flesh, to his bones, to his Meridians, to his internal organs, and even into his Soul!

He could clearly feel that almost every inch of flesh and every single hair on his entire body was enduring an incomparably tragic and intense pain.

"Ah...!"

Finally, he could no longer endure it, and a shrill scream came from his mouth.

No!

Or rather... it came from his Soul.

Heavens Wrath and Human Complaint!

This was... his fate grid!

Yellow Rank fate grid: Heavens Wrath and Human Complaint.

Upon death, one randomly experiences Hell punishments such as mountains of knives, seas of fire, cauldrons of boiling oil, tongue-ripping, insect devouring, death by a thousand cuts, steamer baskets, and blade saws. The deepened pain acts upon one's own Soul, and one's own pain and resentment can cause drastic changes in the surrounding heavenly phenomena.

At this moment, after being dismembered and devoured by demons, his Soul actually experienced the pain of death by a thousand cuts!!!

"Ahhhhhh...!"

Shrill screams rang out one after another, and Zheng Yi's figure slowly appeared in the Void Realm.

The difference was that at this moment, he still looked like a six or seven-year-old child, his whole body pale and his pupils turbid, clearly having turned into a fierce ghost.

Looking down from his perspective, the other nine children who came with him were currently being dismembered and devoured by the remaining few demons.

The tragic sight was unbearable to look at.

At this moment, the resentment from being devoured to death by demons, the anger from being kept in captivity by demons, the pain of seeing his own clansmen dismembered, and especially after experiencing Hell-like torture of a thousand cuts before death...

Endless resentment began to pour out of Zheng Yi's body.

Causing his newly formed light blue Soul to transform toward pitch black at this moment.

His pair of pupils actually turned blood red!

What was most bizarre was that perhaps because Zheng Yi was devoured by demons during his childhood and suffered the pain of a thousand cuts before death, under the effect of Heavens Wrath and Human Complaint, endless resentment was generated, causing an even more bizarre change!

On his young body, which was originally shrouded in black mist, a... blood-red dudou slowly appeared!

The dudou was entirely blood-red, and embroidered upon it was actually a black-red lotus flower!

It looked incomparably eerie.

This was... the Ghost Child Dudou!

At this time.

The blood-red lotus flower on the Ghost Child Dudou began to slowly unfold, emitting one extremely thick and icy aura after another.

Resentment!

Yin Qi!

The thick aura immediately rushed into the interior of Zheng Yi's Soul body.

Gradually transforming him into a fierce ghost!

The difference was.

The fierce ghost he transformed into this time was stronger!

"Huh? Zheng Yi, what is wrong with you..."

Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out.

Zheng Yi turned his head to look, and unexpectedly found several more children's phantom figures floating around him.

It was precisely those nine children who had come with him.

The Yin Qi of the Ghost Child Dudou even summoned the Souls of these nine children, transforming them into ghost entities!

"Zhao Shitou, look below..."

Zheng Yi pointed below, and Zhao Shitou and the other few children subconsciously lowered their heads to look.

Several demons were tearing at their bodies.

Blood, severed limbs, broken remains, and shredded flesh splattered everywhere, covering everything.

"Th-This, what is going on?"

"W-We were eaten by demons?"

"Im-Impossible! Mama said we were adopted by other people..."

"Wuwuwu..."

"Mama lied to us! She lied to us!"

"Wuwuwu..."

Accompanied by waves of sobs, the Souls of these nine children were all tainted by Yin Qi, turning into malicious ghosts!

They lost their original spirituality and consciousness.

Driven by instinct, they actually wanted to rush down and kill the demons that were devouring them!

Malicious ghosts.

Were originally blocked by a breath of resentment in their chests that could not be cleared, which then attracted Yin Qi, transforming themselves into malicious ghosts.

In the state of malicious ghosts, they had no consciousness at all and acted purely on instinct.

And this instinct was to kill the person who killed them in life!

Only in this way could they resolve the resentment in their chests and achieve Reincarnation and Rebirth!

"Wait a moment!"

Zheng Yi gave a low shout in his mind, and Yin Qi surged, actually pulling back these nine malicious ghosts.

"If you rush down like this, you won't be able to do anything to them at all."

"Then what method do you have?!"

Zhao Shitou and the others abruptly turned around; at this moment, they no longer looked human.

A large amount of Yin Qi, viscous like ink, coiled around their bodies.

Under the interaction of resentment and Yin Qi, their speed of transforming into malicious ghosts was even faster.

At this moment, they were only relying on that last shred of memory and emotion to suppress their anger and actions.

Zheng Yi said, "You want to kill them, and I want to kill them too. Why don't you merge into one with me!"

"At that time, I will be even stronger, and I will avenge you!"

Malicious ghosts could increase their own strength by devouring each other.

Although these children were transformed into malicious ghosts, they were still incomparably fragile.

Some powerful demons only needed to spit out a breath of demonic fire to burn them to ashes.

Just like... everything Zheng Yi experienced on Liu Miaoer in his previous life!

"Alright!"

The nine malicious ghosts let out an angry roar and lunged toward Zheng Yi one after another, and were immediately devoured by Zheng Yi!

The Yin Qi inside Zheng Yi's body immediately surged by several folds, and his entire body—no, his entire ghost's size also became much larger.

Just as he was preparing to act, a series of faint voices suddenly came from his mind.

"I died so miserably..."

"Mama Liu, you lied to me..."

"Wuwuwu... Mama, you lied to me, where is the osmanthus cake I loved most to eat..."

"I was eaten by monsters, wuwuwu..."

"I want revenge, I want revenge..."

"Eat me, eat me..."

In the huge room and empty space, one child's figure after another with dull eyes and pale blue faces slowly floated out.

They slowly floated in mid-air, looking at Zheng Yi with dull eyes.

One after another.

Group after group.

Very soon.

Almost the entire upper space of the room was crowded with one child phantom after another.

"This is..."

Zheng Yi said in surprise, "The lingering Souls of children who were devoured by demons in this room before?!"

For I don't know how many years, the Human Race children who died in this room numbered at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands.

For countless years, I don't know how many fierce ghosts, malicious ghosts, and resentful Souls were born.

Pity.

Until now, only this many were left.

Looking roughly, there were about a thousand people.

After these children transformed into malicious ghosts and fierce ghosts, they simply couldn't do anything to these demons.

Either their Soul bodies were beaten apart, or their Soul bodies dissipated with the passage of time, eventually turning into these lingering Souls.

Lingering in this room all day long, unable to leave, and unable to enter Reincarnation.

At most, all they could do was make this huge room appear a bit more gloomy and icy.

Facing these demons, they had no way out at all!

They could only wander here all day, watching their own clansmen being dismembered and devoured one by one!

Looking at these dull-eyed lingering Souls of children, Zheng Yi also felt empathetic in his heart.

"You wander here all day, solely to take revenge on these demons!"

"Come..."

"Merge into one with me; your resentment will be borne by me."

"Your killing intent will be fulfilled by me!"

"Roar!"

Accompanied by Zheng Yi's angry roar, these groups of lingering children's Souls all surged toward him.

Under the action of Yin Qi, they were all transformed into the purest Yin Qi and absorbed by him!

And his strength was also surging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Ghost Child Dudou wrapping his naked body became increasingly bright red.

The blood-red lotus flower embroidered upon it actually transformed from a bud state into blooming eagerly.

Those enchanting petals even covered the entire Ghost Child Dudou.

Looking roughly, it unexpectedly looked like a huge black spider web, completely enveloping Zheng Yi within it!

The black child, the blood-red dudou, and the blooming lotus flower made Zheng Yi at this moment look incomparably terrifying.

Suddenly, a violent and icy storm erupted throughout the room.

Surging and turbulent, it condensed.

Above the room, the Yin Qi storm almost caused a transformation in reality.

Several demons who were devouring flesh and blood finally noticed that something was wrong.

The harpy demon stopped its movements first and subconsciously raised its head to look.

"Not good! A resentful Soul has been generated!"

"Hmph! A mere resentful Soul, a single breath of my demonic fire can cause it to perish!"

"No! It's not an ordinary resentful Soul, but a high-rank fierce ghost!"

"This kind of aura..."

Several demons all raised their heads to look, only to see a vortex of Yin Qi slowly appearing high in the air, which then disappeared.

In a trance, the entire room also returned to peace, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Hmm? Am I seeing things?"

"How did the Yin Qi disappear?"

"Charm Ghost, Pale Bone, you are both ghost spirits, can you feel it?"

Pale Bone shook his massive skeleton head and said, "I can't feel anything. I am a skeleton demon and am not sensitive to Yin Qi."

Charm Ghost's figure beside him kept condensing, eventually forming the appearance of a gloomy old man, but his lower body was still smoke.

"I can feel that the entire room has extremely icy Yin Qi, almost seeping into every single stone brick."

"With this level of Yin Qi, the strength of a newborn ghost entity is at least at the Ghost Soldier Realm!"

"Hmph!"

The half-human half-snake monster let out a cold snort and said, "A mere Ghost Soldier, what are you afraid of?"

"We have eaten so many Human Race, and the fierce ghosts we've killed number in the hundreds. Kill!"

It let out a fierce roar, and a pale-white demonic fire suddenly gushed out of its mouth, fiercely slamming onto the large door.

With a bang, the large door was smashed to pieces, and the demonic fire also ignited.

"Look, it's just a tiny fierce ghost..."

It undulated its snake tail and rushed quickly toward the doorway.

Traveling with it were a few other monsters.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, the half-human half-snake monster seemed to have discovered something, and its massive body abruptly charged toward the wild boar beside it.

It bit straight into the neck of the wild boar monster, tearing at it with all its might.

"Gagaga, I found you! Bite you to death! Bite you to death!"

"Awooo! Damned fierce ghost! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

The wild boar monster immediately acted as if it had gone crazy, its massive body directly pushing against the snake demon as it charged, heavily slamming onto the ground.

Not only those two monsters, but even the other monsters also began to attack each other, every move meant to take a life!

For a time, the entire room became extremely chaotic, and most of the demons with relatively weak strength or extreme personalities actually began to slaughter each other.

"This is..."

Charm Ghost's complexion changed drastically, and he said in horror, "It's an Earth-Bound Spirit!"

"This fierce ghost has transformed into an Earth-Bound Spirit!"
