Chapter 457 - Vol6 Ch45: Feel pain

d.a.m.ned traitors! the serpent's chaotic consciousness fluctuated and caused the countless eyes on its body to move as well.

As soon as it felt Yun Yi, it charged straight at him, only for a Desolate to interrupt its boastful----- I mean, its grand declaration, so the serpent that was suffering from unceasing pain became even more furious.

Furthermore, as soon as it saw the familiar red blades of hostility, the serpent's consciousness recalled some highly unpleasant memories, causing it to give up on its primary target Yun Yi and begin chasing after Yun Rong.

I am the Desolate G.o.d, the progenitor of all Desolates!! the serpent howled and slightly coiled its body.

The countless crimson iris scales instantly began to radiate an immense amount of grudge. The bright red grudge and hatred flowed out from the serpent's body like individual demons and rapidly encompa.s.sed its entire surroundings.

Within this crimson background, the serpent returned to its original jet-black appearance. A huge amount of pain venom writhed on the serpent's body before slithering towards the insects on the ground.

At the very moment that the crimson energy expanded, the two blades of hostility in Yun Rong's hands shrunk from its previous gigantic size down to be as big as a machete.

He subconsciously thought of Killer J's unreliable appearance, but having no other choice, he could only trust him.

As the blades of hostility gave off a tiny sound of vibration, a layer of cloud patterns appeared all around Yun Rong's body as he attempted to imitate the ability he learnt earlier.

During his so-called 'teaching of his ultimate technique' from Killer J, Yun Rong received a pair of blades made out of hostility. It could gather and scatter, as well as shrink and grow at will, it was also capable of destroying the majority of structures made from soul energy, a bona fide Mythical-cla.s.s weapon.

After that, Yun Rong was taught a blade technique made to be used with the blades of hostility. According to Killer J's 'accidental' muttering, this peerless blade technique was created at the climax of a long-hour battle with a toilet bowl when he had to focus his entire body's muscles to push out a huge dump.

"Eight Cuts of Xia Ji1!" Yun Rong shouted out the name of the technique while feeling so embarra.s.sed that he could die.

A prerequisite of this blade technique was that it needed support from the blades of hostility, and being the kind of person he was, Killer J had set up the blades of hostility so that the user must loudly call out the name of the technique in order for it to activate correspondingly.

Yun Rong rapidly swung the blades of hostility in his hand with reckless abandon, during which the blades of hostility continued to break off one inch at a time, turning into tiny thin pieces that surrounded Yun Rong's body.

The bright red blades of hostility and the crimson grudge demons clashed against one another. The powerful destructive capabilities of hostility swiftly cut up the countless grudges into the tiniest particles that made up the concept of 'emotions', with a red flash, everything around Yun Rong's body turned into light and disappeared.

The countless tiny fragments once again reformed into a single blade to block the serpent's tail that was swung towards Yun Rong.

If taking only combat prowess into consideration, who was more powerful between Killer J and the serpent? The answer was most likely the serpent.

After all, the serpent was a lifeform created from gathering many Totems together, which were actually pure manifestations of Source Energy. This made the nature of its existence surpa.s.s Killer J's current body that was made up of hostility.

Of course, even though the serpent had managed to obtain a Seed of Truth of the concept of 'pain', its consciousness was currently divided into numerous sides; this made it so that its thought process wasn't completely chaotic, but also didn't have a set of complete logical thinking.

Secondly, the serpent's body was made through forcefully piecing numerous Totems together. This, fortunately, allowed it to comprehend the Truth of 'pain', but didn't actually remove any of its shortcomings, so there were plenty of weaknesses to be taken advantage of.

If Killer J and the serpent truly fought one another, it would probably be a 50/50.

This included Killer J using the Divine Artifact Unreachable Gate at full strength, after all, the serpent also had a Divine Artifact inside its body.

And so, Yun Rong couldn't do anything but watch as the streak of light was unable to endure the serpent's force and break into pieces again while he was sent flying by the force.

Feel 'pain'! the serpent opened its mouth and shot out a ma.s.s of black venom, each drop of this venom turned into an arrow that rapidly flew towards Yun Rong.

Everyone was fully aware of this venom's infectivity, those who came into direct contact with this venom would undergo an irreversible transformation into a head snake. Not even Lan Shan had been able to reverse this conversion.

This was also the most dangerous part of fighting against the serpent, having to constantly watch out for its venom.

With the speed of the venom, Yun Rong would be unable to avoid it. Although, he didn't need to avoid it in the first place, as he wasn't the only one fighting against the serpent.

An energy field was swiftly erected that stopped the venom in its track. The energy field acted like a bubble that contained the ma.s.s of venom before floating in the air. The contained venom turned back into a jet-black snake that tried to fight its way out but was unable to break through the energy bubble no matter how hard it tried.

While also covered in a layer of energy barrier that blocked out the crimson grudge, Yun Yi coldly looked at the hovering energy bubble and slowly suppressed it.

Having done numerous experiments, he had become an expert on the venom. While he still couldn't cure the people infected by it, it wasn't difficult for him to create something to contain it.

This type of venom was dangerous mostly because it could be transmitted across the collective subconsciousness into one's mind. Although its infectivity wouldn't suddenly decrease through bodily infection, there were quite a few ways to restrain it as long as it showed up in a tangible manner.

Detestable trivial shrewdness! the serpent furiously roared and moved its body, once again opening its mouth to release a ma.s.s of ominous gas at an unimaginable speed towards the two of them.

In this entire subjugation squad, the ones that the serpent hated the most weren't its long-time enemies, the Celestials, but Yun Yi and Yun Rong, the two traitor Desolates. The central consciousness of the serpent was divided into many parts, the largest of which belonged to the original Desolate Spirit and Meng Luo.

Yun Yi stole Meng Luo's [Protagonist Aura], which led to the war eventually becoming worse for the Desolates. And Yun Rong was hated because of the blades of hostility in his hands.

Although Killer J frequently disappointed people and failed his missions, his ability to draw hostility was, in fact, second to none.

And then there was also the grudge of the Desolates inside the serpent.

[Why do we have to stay inside the serpent's body and endure this unceasing pain, while those two get to completely ignore it and stay safe outside?]

In certain situations, envy could distort an individual even more than hatred could. This was because the majority of losers needed to rely on comparisons in order to console themselves, that their failure wasn't due to their own faults but rather a lack of luck. They wanted to see that under the same circ.u.mstances and situation, others would fare just as badly as they did.

For this reason, the very first reaction for most people after seeing their suffering compatriots obtaining success wasn't congratulations, but envy. As for how one adjusted themselves to these emotions depended on the individuals themselves.

And so, when most of the Desolates were suffering indescribable pain inside the serpent's body, they suddenly saw two other Desolates who were completely fine and were even their enemy. How could they not go insane out of envy?

The serpent's gigantic jaw snapped towards the two Desolates. Before the jaws had even arrived, the black smoke had already turned into slithering snakes that leapt towards them.
