721: The Heavenly Emperor died and all things came to life! The Carp General's misunderstanding!

"Heh heh! I got you!"

An ominous voice entered Su Lie's ears.

Su Lie sensed danger and immediately used the Immobilization Technique Talent.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, the shadow that had floated close to him was fixed in the air.

An extremely terrifying divine light flickered in the shadow's pupils.

Its thoughts were racing frantically.

Su Lie used his immense divine sense power to perceive the opponent's Spirit fluctuations.

"How is this possible? It's just a pig, yet it possesses such powerful the rules power!"

"Oh my grandmother! Did I just run into a god out fishing?"

"Oh my god! Great God! Please forgive my ignorance! I... I... I am willing to become your believer, obey your commands, and be your most loyal running dog!"

A strong desire for survival was transmitted through the shadow's Spirit fluctuations.

Su Lie smiled slightly after hearing this, and asked through his divine sense, "Where is this place? Who are you?"

"Uh! Great God! This humble servant is an unknown nobody from this Great Wilderness Mountain. I am Shadow Demon! My ability allows me to penetrate all obstacles, and my the rules is that any life I successfully frighten will offer up their pitiful lifespan!"

Shadow Demon paused, then quickly replied, "Great God! Actually, this humble servant's ability can only obtain a maximum of 50 years of lifespan!"

Su Lie looked thoughtful after hearing this: "In other words! The lifespan of life forms in this world generally does not exceed 50 years? This must be the lifespan of ordinary life forms!"

He asked a few more questions.

Only then did he use the Divine Thief Talent on the Shadow Demon.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, Su Lie had four items in his hand.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Demon, immobilized where it stood, directly dissolved into black particles and vanished into the world.

[Buzz!]

A notification appeared in Su Lie's line of sight.

[Congratulations on successfully hunting the Shadow Demon!]

[You have gained 1 free attribute points!]

[Buzz!]

[the rules Unsealing triggered!]

[Your free attribute points attribute has been unsealed!]

Su Lie's eyes lit up after reading this: "Hunting grants free attribute points? That's really great!"

He looked at his free attribute points value. Previously, it was sealed, but now it was unsealed, totaling 45,181 points.

"This is good news!"

Su Lie chuckled softly.

He used the Identification Talent on the items in his hand.

Among them were one Spirit attribute orb, one lifespan pearl, one Skill, and one Talent.

The Spirit attribute orb contained 1 trillion points of attribute, and the lifespan pearl held 300 years of life value.

Su Lie used both orbs without hesitation.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, both his Spirit attribute and lifespan value increased.

Su Lie then looked at the Skill and Talent of the Shadow Demon.

[Skill Book (Shadow Flash): Red God-level Quality the rules Skill;

Consumes 100 Spirit attribute points to flash towards the target's shadow area, maximum range 1 kilometer;]

"Huh? The items in this world seem slightly different from those in the Mist Main World!"

Su Lie looked at the Skill Book before him and activated it in the same manner as he had previously activated Skill Awakening Scrolls.

Buzz!

The next second.

A notification appeared.

[Congratulations on successfully awakening the Red God-level Quality the rules Skill: Shadow Flash!]

"In this regard, the the ruless are the same as those of the Main World!"

Su Lie nodded silently, then looked at the Talent in his hand.

[Buzz!]

In the blink of an eye, a panel message popped up from the Talent book.

[Skill Book (Life Steal): Red God-level Quality the rules Talent;

When the target successfully triggers the the rules, you will steal the target's lifespan; the amount of lifespan stolen is related to your own power.

the rules Frightening: You can appear before the target in any way, shape, or action and frighten the target, causing the target to lose their soul for 10 seconds.

Note: Stolen lifespan can be directly converted into lifespan pearl.

Note: lifespan pearl is hard currency in this world.]

"Life Steal requires frightening the opponent? This... seems unlikely for a strong person! But what if there's another way?"

Su Lie blinked, having thought of something interesting.

Buzz!

The next second, he activated the Skill Book (Life Steal) and successfully obtained the Life Steal Talent.

Su Lie stretched. He sat on the ground, his eyes looking forward, but his divine sense had already covered the surroundings.

He saw several Shadow Demons in the jungle surrounding the ruins.

These Shadow Demons were all hiding in the shadows of the jungle, each hesitating whether or not to launch an attack on Su Lie.

Because they were unsure how the previous Shadow Demon had died.

Su Lie, sensing this, developed another doubt: "Do the monsters here not see the items I stole?"

This gave Su Lie some ideas.

He did not move, but waited.

He was also pondering a question.

The section of the Great Wilderness Mountain he was in was the habitat of Shadow Demons, Phantom Shadow Demons, and Insect Demons.

Its diameter was about 500,000 kilometers.

The ruler of this area was named Honghe Venerable.

Legend has it that Honghe Venerable is a Congenital Deity formed by a river that condensed after one of the Heavenly Emperor's blood vessels decayed.

This Deity resides in the Red River Crystal Palace, which runs through the Great Wilderness Mountain.

This is a vast primeval jungle.

A large number of human tribes live in the jungle.

These humans are called Pigs!

They are food raised by the demons of the jungle.

Every so often, they sacrifice some of their tribesmen to these demons to ensure the survival of the rest of their people.

Furthermore.

The longest-lived among these humans only have a lifespan of 50 years.

The short-lived ones can't even make it past two months.

Su Lie also learned from the Shadow Demon.

The jungle vegetation, rivers, and fish in the rivers of this world all contain pollution stemming from the Heavenly Emperor's power.

Long-term consumption causes life forms to mutate into crazy demons who disregard all kinship.

"The Heavenly Emperor dies, and the world lives! This world has 12 Old Day Deities, who are the world's rulers formed by the twisted eyes, nose, ears, mouth, brain, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, consciousness, and soul of the Heavenly Emperor!"

Su Lie carefully recalled the information provided by the Shadow Demon.

Although this demon was weak, it knew more things than Su Lie had imagined.

"It seems the magnificent giant cities and tall buildings I saw before descending must be the lair of the Old Day Deities! And the area I descended into is vastly different from the area I saw!"

Just then, Su Lie's pupils contracted.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Shadow Demons hiding nearby finally couldn't suppress the desire in their hearts, and they all moved out, flashing towards Su Lie using Shadow Flash.

When they flashed into the shadows near Su Lie.

"Immobilize!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Accompanied by Su Lie using the Immobilization Technique Talent.

These dozen or so charging Shadow Demons all shuddered.

The next second.

Their pupils shrank, and an incomparably strong sense of terror erupted in their emotions.

"Holy crap! We ran into a passing god!"

The demons had just expressed their panic.

Their bodies suddenly shook, instantly twisting into clusters of black particles.

These particle clusters dissipated in the surroundings in the blink of an eye.

This scene caused the Shadow Demons hiding in the surrounding jungle to show expressions of fear.

Before they could turn and run.

All the Shadow Demons twisted into streams of black ion clusters, and then dissipated.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred kill notification messages appeared in Su Lie's vision.

Egg-sized lifespan pearl dropped throughout the shadowy area around him.

"This works too! What a pity! The power of the Life Steal Talent is too strong; as long as the the rules is triggered, their life is stolen! I didn't even have time to confirm a few things with them!"

Su Lie sighed.

He used the Shadow Flash Skill to pick up the lifespan pearl that had fallen into the jungle one by one.

Since his clothes had no pockets, he had to use his upper garment as a sack, stuffing all the lifespan pearl inside.

This time, he harvested a total of 124 free attribute points and 124 lifespan pearl.

The average lifespan contained in these lifespan pearl was around 300 years.

The minimum lifespan was 120 years.

This was a considerable fortune.

Su Lie, carrying the sack, randomly chose a path and walked forward.

Along the way, he discovered through the Discernment knowledge he had acquired at the academy.

The trees and grass here contained potent venom, and within this venom, there was also an evil aura.

Whether it was the venom or the evil aura, as long as the plant was not broken, these contained powers would not be released.

"This aura must be the power of the Heavenly Emperor that the Shadow Demon mentioned, right?"

Su Lie snapped a thin branch and used his divine sense to extract a mass of aura from the dew dripping from the branch.

This mass of aura was extremely evil, giving Su Lie a nauseating feeling.

"I wonder if my Xuanhuang attribute can still condense Mysterious Yellow Energy!"

Su Lie had a thought at this moment.

He pondered for a moment, then tentatively tried to use his Xuanhuang attribute and guided it towards this mass of evil power.

Buzz!

In the blink of an eye, a mass of Mysterious Yellow Energy condensed and, following Su Lie's will, encroached upon the evil power.

Buzz!

This mass of power was consumed by the Mysterious Yellow Energy in the space of a breath.

Su Lie's eyes brightened upon seeing this: "Although the Xuanhuang Talent is sealed, the power of the Xuanhuang the rules can still affect the Xuanhuang attribute!"

"This is truly great news for me!"

As he spoke.

He casually threw the mass of aura into the broken branch of the tree whose limb he had snapped nearby.

The Mysterious Yellow Energy spread along the branch and entered the old tree.

Before long.

The old tree was completely transformed by the Mysterious Yellow Energy, and all its evil aura dissipated.

A hint of green began to appear on it.

This hint of green became unusually vibrant and conspicuous in this world.

Just then.

Buzz!

The entire jungle suddenly began to shake.

Under Su Lie's perception, the earth seemed to be angry, the jungle was angry, and even the air and the world itself were angry.

A large amount of evil aura, like billowing smoke, surged toward the old tree being transformed by Xuanhuang Power.

They instantly engulfed the old tree.

Su Lie, sensing the danger, quickly used the Shadow Flash Skill repeatedly, moving tens of kilometers away from the spot.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived beside a large red river.

The sense of danger had completely vanished.

But he could vaguely see clusters of gray aura flying towards the old tree like a plunging waterfall.

Under Su Lie's perception.

Although the Xuanhuang Power inside the old tree was under Suppression, it was not extinguished. Instead, under the infusion of the massive evil power, it was slowly growing.

Also at this moment.

Violent noises came from the jungle.

The immense shaking sounded like an earthquake.

The red river near Su Lie became turbulent, and he sensed a group of evil powers rushing quickly through the current.

"Huh? There's a pig here?"

"Holy crap! Are you trying to die!"

"Hurry! Hurry! The Master sensed that a strange power is reviving here. We must immediately seal this power and take it to the Master!"

"The Master's divine oracle is paramount! We can eat this pig anytime!"

...The monsters beneath the river exchanged words as they rushed forward.

Su Lie heard all their conversations.

Su Lie's eyes shifted, and a slight smile curled his lips: "Could the master of these shrimp soldiers and crab generals be Honghe Venerable?"

After waiting for these shrimp soldiers and crab generals to move far away, he used the Divine Thief Talent on this group of underwater monsters.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In the blink of an eye.

A small hill had accumulated beside Su Lie.

The small hill contained not only weapons, armor, and identity tokens, but also lifespan pearl, bloodline orbs, attribute orbs, and various Skill Books.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals who lost these items perished instantly.

Su Lie, sensing this, had a slight change of thought, immediately gathered the various orbs and Skill Books, grabbed a handy greatsword, and quickly left the spot.

The armor pieces were all alien armor, fundamentally not meant to be worn by humans.

It would be useless for Su Lie to take them.

Furthermore, the identity tokens of these monsters carried a special aura.

Su Lie dared not take them, fearing he might be tracked.

That is why he immediately took the other treasures and quickly departed.

Less than five minutes after he left.

Splash!

A Carp General walked out of the red river current. Its entire body emitted a thick evil aura, and this aura condensed into clusters of black and gray light that circled the Carp General.

It glanced at the pile of weapons on the ground, then looked up at the surroundings, muttering, "Damn it! What an arrogant little thief! Killing the divine soldiers of my Red River Water Mansion and throwing their equipment tokens here, piling them up like a Jingguan (trophy mound)! This is a blatant provocation against my Red River Water Mansion!"

...
