66: Chapter 66 Don't Bother Me

Chapter 67: Don't Bother Me, I'm Barbecuing

A massive splash of mud splattered all over Li Changsheng.

Several spots of black mud stained his fair, small face.

A large area of his beautiful bellyband was also soaked.

Li Changsheng was a neat freak.

He was unhappy.

He puffed out his cheeks, knitted his little brows together, and started walking with his short legs.

Plop.

Plop.

Stepping through the muddy water, he walked up to the giant beast that was on the verge of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

The Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor was terrified to the extreme.

It felt like a mongrel dog barking indiscriminately, having yapped twice at a passing child.

And the child had turned around and pulled out a nuke.

Absurd.

Simply absurd.

An Emperor Weapon.

That was the supreme object that legend said only an Emperor who had proven their Dao could refine.

It could suppress the Luck of an entire era.

This little thing in front of it actually wore it around its neck like a collar?

Which Family's immortal crown prince was this, running to the newbie village to experience life?

Li Changsheng was approaching.

The Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor's massive body trembled incessantly.

In those huge vertical pupils, there was no longer a shred of ferocity.

Only stupidity remained.

And pure fawning.

It struggled to lift its massive head, carefully wanting to use its softest tongue to lick the back of Li Changsheng's feet.

To show submission.

But just as its huge tongue extended, Li Changsheng retreated several steps, waving his little hand in disgust.

"Dirty!"

That stench, a mixture of rot and deadly poison, almost knocked him over.

The Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor shuddered, instantly understanding.

It quickly retracted its tongue and lay on the ground, its massive head pressed tightly against the mud.

Not daring to move a muscle.

Afraid of displeasing this little ancestor again.

Seeing it so obedient, Li Changsheng's anger dissipated a little.

He looked over this big guy and rubbed his rumbling stomach.

He was hungry.

After being teleported in and playing with this big doggy for half a day, and since he couldn't bear to finish the candied hawthorn in his arms, his stomach was already empty.

He suddenly remembered his Imperial Father.

Back in the Imperial Garden, his Imperial Father would often set up a rack and roast fragrant meat skewered on a sword.

It would be roasted until it was glistening and golden; it was delicious.

His Imperial Father said that was called BBQ.

Looking at the Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor lying there like a mountain of meat, Li Changsheng's eyes lit up.

This big doggy.

Seems to have a lot of meat.

Li Changsheng's gaze, filled with appetite, terrified the Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor to the extreme.

It's over.

It's over.

This little ancestor not only likes playing with nukes, but he also has a taste for game meat.

My life is over.

It thought quickly and immediately had an idea.

The next second.

The Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor made a decisive decision.

It endured its fear of the Emperor Weapon and violently swung its thick tail.

The tip of its tail, sharp as a blade, precisely sliced off a large piece of the fattest leg meat from its own thigh.

Poisonous blood gushed from the wound, but it gritted its teeth and didn't make a sound.

Then, it used its Demonic Qi to wrap the leg meat, which was as big as half a room, and respectfully delivered it to Li Changsheng.

After doing all this, Demonic Qi surged on its body, and the wound healed rapidly.

For a giant beast of its size, this bit of meat was just a drop in the bucket.

Li Changsheng looked at the steaming meat in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Big doggy, you're really nice."

He praised it in his milky voice.

Hearing this, the Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor was so excited that tears almost fell.

Being able to be praised by this young master, cutting this leg today was worth it.

Li Changsheng imitated his Imperial Father's manner and prepared to start his first BBQ.

He reached into the small storage ring behind him.

He pulled out an ordinary small peach wood sword.

This was a toy his Imperial Father had whittled for him, saying it could ward off evil spirits.

He grabbed the wooden sword, which was taller than he was, and struggled to skewer the Crocodile Emperor's leg meat onto it.

The way he looked, he was just like an ant carrying a grain of rice.

He had the meat.

He had the skewer.

Still needed fire.

Li Changsheng rummaged through the storage ring again.

Soon, he found a little gadget his Imperial Father had given him.

An object made of unknown metal, resembling a lighter, with three ancient characters engraved on it.

Fire Starter.

Li Xuan had told him back then that if he was afraid when it was dark, he should just press it, and it could light up.

Li Changsheng held up this Fire Starter, aimed it at the skewered meat, and pressed the switch.

Puff.

A small wisp of golden flame emerged from the nozzle of the Fire Starter.

The flame was not large, but it emitted an extremely high temperature.

The moment the flame appeared, the miasma in the surrounding swamp was purified, and the air seemed to sizzle as it was scorched.

Samadhi True Fire.

One of the most Yang and rigid divine fires in the world, immune to all evil and capable of burning everything.

Now, it was Sealed by Li Xuan into a Fire Starter and given to his son as an outdoor lighting tool.

Li Changsheng held the Samadhi True Fire-branded Fire Starter and started roasting the meat in a proper manner.

The golden flame roasted the Crocodile Emperor's leg meat, and a strange, meaty aroma, mixed with the unique scent of purified deadly poison, permeated the swamp.

The Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor watched from the side, dumbfounded.

Goodness.

Truly an incredible fellow.

The peach wood sword was a divine weapon, and the lighter hid Samadhi True Fire.

How many treasures does this little ancestor actually have?

Just as Li Changsheng was focused on turning the barbecue, several uninvited figures appeared at the edge of the swamp.

"Huh? Boss, look over there, is that the Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor?"

"Looks like it. Holy crap, it really is. Why is it lying there without moving? It's like it's dead."

"Wait, there's a kid next to it? What is that kid doing? Barbecuing? That meat, it looks like it's the Crocodile Emperor's leg meat!"

This was a hunting squad composed of five people.

Each person had a powerful Aura, all of them Prodigies who had stepped into the Marquis Realm.

The leader's cultivation had even reached the sixth level of the Marquis Realm, and he could be considered a top expert in the entire competition.

They had originally teamed up to hunt the Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor to farm points, but they didn't expect to see such a bizarre scene as soon as they arrived.

A milky toddler treating the Peak Marquis Realm Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor as a pet, and even cutting its meat to roast?

Who would believe this if it were told?

"He must have used some incredible secret treasure!"

The leading youth's eyes were instantly filled with greed.

"The Magic Treasure on that child is definitely a heavy treasure capable of controlling powerful Yao Beasts, perhaps even a Saint Weapon!"

The other four heard this, and their breathing also became rapid.

"Boss, let's do it! Kill that brat, grab the treasure, and this Crocodile Emperor will be ours too! This haul will greatly increase our strength!"

"That's right, just a little brat who is still wet behind the ears, probably some young master from a big Family who hasn't seen the world, relying on a Magic Treasure to dare to come here. Slaughter him, and no one will know!"

The five of them revealed their greed completely.

They looked at each other and instantly reached a consensus.

"Do it! Quick battle, quick decision!"

The leading youth gave a low shout, and the five of them simultaneously activated their magical power, launching a fatal attack from five directions toward Li Changsheng, who was focused on barbecuing.

"Heaven-Splitting Claw!"

"Heaven-Burning Blade!"

"Mystic Ice Divine Sword!"

Five fierce attacks whistled in, sealing off all of Li Changsheng's retreat routes from different directions.

However.

Li Changsheng didn't even turn his head.

He just smelled a burnt aroma and realized that one side of his barbecue was overcooked.

The strong wind stirred up by these people's attacks blew his wisp of Samadhi True Fire, causing it to flicker and almost affecting his control over the heat.

He hummed with some impatience, pouting his little mouth.

"Don't bother me, I'm barbecuing!"

Following this complaint, as if swatting away a fly, he held the peach wood sword with the barbecue in his hand and waved it casually backward.

This wave had no earth-shattering momentum.

It only stirred up an invisible ripple.

The next second.

The five triumphant Marquis Prodigies froze.

Their Heaven-Splitting Claw, Heaven-Burning Blade, and Mystic Ice Divine Sword—all their attacks that they were certain would succeed—dissolved silently the moment they touched that ripple.

Immediately following that were their defensive Magic Treasures.

Finally, their bodies.

No explosion.

No screams.

The five Marquis Realm Prodigies, just like that, were annihilated by this casual wave.

As if they had never existed.

Their figures turned into pure streams of point data, pouring into Li Changsheng's point jade plaque.

Meanwhile, outside the Eternal Illusion God Realm.

On the huge spectator plaza, everyone looked at the giant floating leaderboard and the Soul Lamp wall representing the life status of all participants.

Just a moment ago, right in the middle of the Soul Lamp wall, the five Soul Lamps representing the Five Heroes of the Blood Cloud Sect all extinguished with a puff at the same time.

"Hmm? What's going on? The Five Heroes of the Blood Cloud Sect, were they eliminated?"

"At the same time? Impossible! The five of them joined forces, and their strength was close to the Peak Marquis Realm; who could instantly kill all five of them?"

An Elder in charge of monitoring changed countenance and immediately pulled up the last video record of the Five Heroes of the Blood Cloud Sect.

The light screen flickered.

One could see the five of them rushing aggressively toward a swamp, and then...

The screen went black.

Everyone was stunned.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"The recording crystal was interfered with by a mysterious force, and even directly destroyed!"

The Elder exclaimed.

"To be able to instantly wipe out the Five Heroes of the Blood Cloud Sect, and even leave no record behind—when did such a monster appear in this illusion realm?"

The spectator stands were immediately filled with discussion, and no one noticed that on the leaderboard, the points for a name called "Li Changsheng" had suddenly jumped up by a large margin.

And at this moment, in the swamp of the illusion realm.

Li Changsheng looked with satisfaction at the sizzling, oily Crocodile Emperor leg meat in his hand and took a small bite.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.

The meat was delicious.

It also had a strange, fresh fragrance.

Delicious.

He happily swung his little feet, then tore off a small piece and handed it to the Myriad Poison Crocodile Emperor, which was stunned and frozen beside him.

"Big doggy, you have some too."
