Chapter 333: Secret Ritual of Sloth
【Yanhuang Arsenal】Underground Prison

After dismissing the guards, Zhu Haomiao looked around and saw that the small cell was filled with "corpses" piled up one above the other, like a morgue.

With a strange look in his eyes and a close observation, Zhu Haomiao discovered that he had actually completed the prerequisites for an original sin secret ritual by chance!

"lazy……"

The barely audible soft whispers seemed to be afraid of waking up the sleeping people. The power of supernatural laws quietly materialized, starting from the head. Grayish-white hyphae gushed out from the seven orifices, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually covering the entire human body, forming more than a dozen large oval "grayish-white mold balls"!
Soon, the gray-white mycelium spread to the metal frames that came into contact with the human body, and in a blink of an eye, the shiny and smooth metal surface was corroded into rust.

In just a few tens of seconds, the sturdy metal frame seemed to have experienced thousands of years, and its surface became mottled and cracked, with tiny pieces of powder falling off.

Bang!
Finally, the metal frame could no longer hold on and collapsed completely. More than a dozen "gray-white mold balls" fell to the ground and piled up in a ball.

But the divine power did not stop distorting reality. The gray-white mycelium continued to spread outward with the "mold ball pile" as the center, climbing up the floor, walls, and ceiling, completely covering the entire prison.

The reinforced concrete was corroded silently, and there was only white everywhere as far as the eye could see. Even the air was filled with gray-white floc-like mycelium that was imperceptible to the naked eye, covering the vision like a fog.

Looking at the delicate hyphae that submerged his knees, and then looking around, the monotonous gray and white that covered his body and soul in dead silence, Zhu Haomiao inexplicably felt like a dead insect sealed in a gray and white cocoon, quietly waiting to rot...

[Laziness]: LV.4 → LV.7
[Qi] +20
[Effect] +13
[God] +9
The secret ritual of [Sloth] was completed, and the leap-forward improvement seemed to have triggered a transformation in the body. A dark golden light suddenly bloomed, and surging energy gushed out from the depths of the soul and flesh, breaking out of the cocoon and emerging as a butterfly.

[Taixu Refining Spirit and True Enlightenment]: LV.4→LV.5 (Great Accomplishment)
[Agility] +8
[God] +4
[Qi] +4
Although he was mentally prepared, Zhu Haomiao still couldn't help but feel happy when the [Taixu Refining Spirit and True Enlightenment] completed the breakthrough.

In his previous battle with Indra, neither side was far from growing to their limits!
And now, he is making steady and rapid progress step by step at a speed that is difficult for others to understand!

When they met again, his seven deadly sins had returned to the mythical realm, and his eight basic powers and internal and external skills were perfect...

At that time, both sides will fight again at their peak, and he will definitely have a taste of Indra!

Licking his lips, Zhu Haomiao turned and left. After walking out of the prison, he found Huaixu waiting outside anxiously.

Seeing the young man coming out, Huaixu was obviously relieved and rushed up to ask.

"Commander, I sense a very hidden evil... um... strange supernatural power surging inside..."

Listening to Huaixu's hesitant words with high emotional intelligence, Zhu Haomiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded with an apologetic smile.

"I tested my new authority, and there may be a little bit of unhealthy energy left. You'd better not enter that cell again in the short term."

"If you really want to go in, you must take protective measures, or use the flames of a divine person to disinfect the cell."

Huai Xu: “…………”

A flame with divine personhood?

Is that something that should appear in the Second Heaven? !
What dangerous things did you leave in there?!
After giving some careful instructions, Zhu Haomiao finally left with peace of mind.

Watching the young man's back disappear at the end of his sight, Huaixu glanced at the silent cell. Finally, he couldn't resist his curiosity and leaned over to the thick bulletproof glass observation port on the door to peek inside.

But the observation port was covered by something white. Huaixu peered for a long time but found nothing. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

After all, I am a hegemonic extraordinary being, so I should not be unable to resist the remaining pollution.

With a faint confidence, Huaixu stepped into the cell, and the strange scene that came into his eyes made his breathing suddenly stagnate. But before he could recover, he suddenly found that he had inhaled something strange into his lungs, and his entire respiratory tract began to become numb.

The eyeballs seemed to be covered with "dust", the vision gradually became blurred and gray, and the sticky secretions stuck to the eyes like glue.

What...is...going on?

wrong!

My mind is becoming dull!
His pupils suddenly contracted, and Huai Xu mobilized the energy without hesitation. The violent true qi gushed out from the acupoints all over his body, condensing into a translucent crystalline qi barrier.

【Tian Gang Jin】!
Using his true Qi to isolate the inside and the outside, Huaixu finally broke free from the strange remaining divinity. He rushed out of the door without hesitation and locked the mechanism outside. Only then did he dare to breathe heavily.

It was not until this moment that Huaixu discovered that not only his lungs and eyeballs, but also all his exposed skin were covered with a layer of hazy and transparent gray-white silk threads!
These threads seemed to be alive, silently taking root and spreading deep into his flesh and blood, consuming his energy and growing outwards.

After escaping the strange environment in the cell, these gray and white silk threads were just rootless duckweed. Huai Xu mobilized his own spiritual energy to annihilate and consume them. It took him dozens of minutes to completely erase them from his soul and body!

Call ~
After letting out a long breath, Huaixu raised his head and found that Song Li and several members in charge of guarding the cell were looking at him strangely.

"Lao Xu, what's wrong with you? Why don't you respond after I called you for so long?"

"No...nothing."

Seeing Huaixu still in fear, Song Li glanced at the cell behind him and said with curiosity.

"Is it because of Zhu Haomiao? What did he do in there?"

Hearing this, Huaixu's expression changed slightly and he shook his head in shock.

"I don't know, but he must have done something terrible. The remaining pollution here is enough to cause harm to a transcendent at the hegemonic level!"

As he said this, he glanced at the door behind him and gritted his teeth.

"Use at least one meter thick reinforced concrete to completely seal off this room. This area will be permanently abandoned from now on. No one is allowed to approach!"

Hearing this, Song Li and the others looked at each other and hesitated, "Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"The engineering team is already very busy. If you do this, they will definitely slam the table in front of you..."

"As for the energy pollution...it will naturally dissipate in a few hours at most. At most, we can just wait a few more days!"

Seeing that Song Li and others had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, Huai Xu shook his head solemnly and spoke word by word.

"No, you must do as I say!"

"The residual pollution in this cell not only has divine qualities, but also contains a strange inertia that can even dull thinking!"

"If we want to wait for it to dissipate naturally, it will take at least a dozen years, or even decades!"
