Black Book

Chapter 351 Khorne's Torture
Roar!
A shrill roar that sounded like no human voice echoed in the huge, empty cave. Zhu Haomiao stood on the edge of the pit that looked like a Gu basin, watching hundreds of figures fighting frantically below.

Completely out of control anger dominated the soul, people killed each other with the most primitive claws like wild beasts, and tore the enemy into pieces with the most cruel and bloody means.

The boy's dark retina reflected the sticky blood light that was invisible in the real world. Under the pollution of the light of his soul, his reason was burned to ashes by anger. The whole valley was like an endless purgatory. Everyone was killing, destroying, and destroying recklessly...

They seemed to be venting the pain in their hearts, or performing some kind of sacrifice, using the blood and lives of their enemies and themselves to please the great existence in the dark.

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull sacrifice to the Skull Throne... this is Khorne's own torture..."

"I am a bright and cheerful person who does no harm to people or animals..."

"You unruly people are always trying to come up with some weird things to frame me!"

Zhu Haomiao frowned and murmured softly, looking at the last lucky man standing on the hill of corpses. The blood in his body evaporated and turned into an evil yet beautiful crimson blood flame, "igniting" the entire mountain of corpses.

The blood flames that were more than ten meters high burned fiercely, and endless crimson particles gathered and finally condensed into a drop of golden-red blood that emitted high-temperature red light, like liquid metal.

shuh~
With a thought, the drop of blood suspended in the air turned into a dazzling red line and instantly poured into Zhu Haomiao's heart.

Plop plop plop~
Intense pain and joy exploded deep in the soul, the heart beat wildly at an extremely high frequency that was impossible for a human to have, the body expanded rapidly and uncontrollably, and a dazzling high-energy red light seeped from the chest cavity.

Veins bulged all over his body, and the blood in the boy's pupils spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually covering his entire eyeball.

The originally dark and deep pupils disappeared completely, replaced by a pair of terrifying eye sockets emitting high-temperature red light.

The supernatural and violent sight distorted reality. Even the rocks were melted wherever the sight reached. In just a few tens of seconds, the bottom of the entire pit began to bubble and form a sticky, rolling magma lake of fire.

After a long time, the fast-beating heart gradually slowed down, and the blood-red flames in Zhu Haomiao's eyes cooled and dissipated little by little. The twisted body that had expanded to several meters high quickly shrank and returned to its normal appearance.

Call ~
After spitting out a breath of high-energy flame, the last trace of red light in Zhu Haomiao's chest completely disappeared, and his eyes became clear again.

Almost at the same time, a mysterious sensation touched his soul, and the boy subconsciously looked into the distance.

His sight penetrated the barriers of rock and time and space. He saw a pyramid made up of twisted corpses. On top of it was a small golden mountain suspended in mid-air, emitting a gorgeous and bewitching divine light. Together with the base of bones underneath, it formed a strange picture that was both evil and sacred.

"Chaos moves my sublime Creator."

"I am the fruit of divine power, divine consciousness and divine love."

"Before me there was no eternal creation."

…………

With the long whispers from the void echoing in his ears, Zhu Haomiao sensed that the secret ceremony on the other side was also completely completed, and subconsciously looked towards the [Book of Black].

[Anger]: LV.4→LV.7
[Greed]: LV.4 → LV.7
[Strength] +29
[Body] +26 (13×200%)

[God] +31
[Qi] +11
After carefully sensing it, Zhu Haomiao vaguely had an epiphany. Compared with the original sin level of the first heaven, the original sin of the second heaven was more difficult to upgrade in the later stage, but it was also more powerful and treacherous...

By analogy, the higher the heavenly rank, the more difficult it will be to upgrade the original sin in reality!
Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully, took a last look at the gradually cooling magma fire lake, confirmed that there was nothing left that might damage his reputation, and turned away without any reluctance.

After walking out of the cave, Yan Yunsheng, who was standing at the entrance, wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly followed the young man.

"What's wrong? Is it hot?"

Seeing Yan Yunsheng sweating profusely, Zhu Haomiao blinked in surprise.

It is the coldest time of the year now, and the whole earth is covered in silver.

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng glanced at the cave that was still blowing out hot air, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Didn't you notice that the snow around the cave was melting?
Although he secretly complained in his heart, Yan Yunsheng still shook his head tactfully.

"Maybe I'm wearing too much..."

"Oh."

Zhu Haomiao didn't take this little thing seriously. He changed the subject and started asking about the main business. "Is there anything important that you need to report today?"

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng's face turned stern and he nodded solemnly.

"Yes, the Duke of Ningguo who fled for fear of punishment does not seem to be dead. There is intelligence that a figure who looks like him was found in the southern provinces and sailed out to sea."

"Well……"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Haomiao waved his hand nonchalantly.

"He's just a stray dog. When you find him, execute him on the spot. Just give me a result."

"Understood! In addition, the investigation you asked me to do before about the [Transfer Pavilion] seizing your property has made some progress."

"Oh? Which villain is behind this?!"

His eyes lit up, and Zhu Haomiao curled the corners of his mouth as he rubbed his hands together.

"It's Duke Ningguo."

"what?"

Slightly stunned, Zhu Haomiao frowned in confusion.

"That's not right. I had no grudge against him at that time..."

"Well, I'm afraid Duke Ningguo himself doesn't know about this. This was a decision made by one of his white gloves without authorization, in order to raise funds for the Third Prince to win over the hearts of the people."

"You are just one of many victims."

Zhu Haomiao: “…………”

If he had not replaced the deceased Li Lin, the [Pingyang Marquis' Mansion] would have been wiped out quietly.

With a long sigh, the young man shook his head in boredom.

"What a bad fate..."

After returning to the imperial capital, Zhu Haomiao went to the Yanhuang Arsenal for inspection as usual, but ran into an unexpected figure.

"Bai Linglong?"

"Uh……"

After hiding for a long time, Bai Linglong was unexpectedly discovered. She nodded awkwardly and embarrassedly.

"Zhu..."

When the words came to her lips, she suddenly remembered that she had to refer to her job title when working, and changed her words with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"commander."

"When did you arrive in the imperial capital?"

As a partner who is qualified to enter the fantasy realm with him, Zhu Haomiao knows this guy's potential.

He is a high-level [Divine Destiny] and will definitely reach the pinnacle of hegemony in the future!
Compared to Huaixu and others who are on a "business trip" away from home and will return to their "home fantasy realm" sooner or later, they are the tools she can rely on for a long time... No, they are good partners!

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but ask.

"How is your training going? What level are you at?"
