Black Book

Chapter 401 Going straight to Huanglong
boom!
In the magnificent light column with a diameter of several meters, the young man in black floated slowly and uncontrollably. The energy ripples visible to the naked eye spread like tides, causing endless ripples in time and space, and making the space within a radius of several kilometers become distorted and rippling.

After a long time, the overflowing divine flames converged inward, and Zhu Haomiao slowly fell to the ground, supporting himself on the ground with one hand, with wisps of green smoke rising from his whole body.

Chichichichi~
Just like cold water falling on a branding iron, the black-clothed young man was surrounded by mist, and hot energy gushed out from his mouth and nose. The dazzling high-temperature red light all over his body dimmed and subsided little by little.

"Whoo~"

The bright red blood vessels that had burst and wriggled on his face slowly subsided. Zhu Haomiao stood up with difficulty and carefully examined his almost collapsed body.

He harvested the essence and sins of nearly a million people at one time. Such a huge force was poured into his body. If it weren't for his [Physique] attribute of more than 200 points, he would have exploded and died!
But even so, the brutal and unreasonable infusion of power still caused him shocking injuries. Almost every muscle and bone in his body was broken, and every cell was severely damaged.

Immediately, as the power of [Anger] faded, the morbid pleasure dissipated, and waves of blocked pain invaded his nerves, causing Zhu Haomiao's pupils to tremble.

The drastic signal reminded the body that it was on the verge of death. Zhu Haomiao's mind moved, and he released the power of [Lust]. The nutrients in his empty stomach were quickly digested and absorbed, turning into a constant flow of coolness that flowed throughout his body.

The huge life force nourishes the damaged cells, the piercing pain quickly fades, and the torn skin on the body surface begins to scab and heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After his injury was stabilized, Zhu Haomiao breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and made a virtual grab. A dark and heavy book instantly materialized in his palm and opened automatically.

Looking at the information in the [Black Book], Zhu Haomiao's pupils trembled and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

[God]: +100
[Agility]: +100
[Strength]: +100
[Essence]: +100
[Qi]: +100
[Body]: +200 (100×200%)

His gaze continued to move downward. In addition to the huge improvement in the six-dimensional attributes, what surprised Zhu Haomiao even more was the increase in the level of original sin.

[Anger]: LV.7→LV.9
To put it in the game's terms, the former is an improvement in [numerical value], while the latter is a change in [mechanism]!
Many times, when facing beings like Indra, it is difficult for both sides to widen the gap in numbers. The key to determining victory or defeat is the competition at a higher level such as mechanism, law, authority, and status.

After sensing the LV.9 [Anger] power for a bit, a violent and crazy force like a volcano gathered in his heart in an instant, scaring Zhu Haomiao so much that he quickly calmed down.

Concentrating his mind and calming his breath, the young man in black took slow and long deep breaths. It took him a long time to calm the anger in his heart, and he let out a long sigh of relief with fear.

After just a moment of trying, Zhu Haomiao knew that with his body now on the verge of collapse, if he released the LV.9 power of [Rage], he would explode on the spot without the need for any enemy attacks.

Guaranteed to die!
Zhu Haomiao smacked his lips and suppressed the throbbing in his chest. He brought his five fingers together, and the open [Book of Black] closed with a snap and disappeared in his palm in an instant.

The next second, agile figures appeared around, "looking up" at the back of the young man in black with shocked and awed eyes.

In the sea of ​​corpses and blood that stretched for dozens of miles, he was the only one standing proudly.

In the dark, a cold and cruel majesty came towards them. Although his body was not tall, in the eyes of everyone, it was as majestic as a mountain, which made people afraid and look up to him.

Gollum~
After swallowing his saliva, Huaixu finally mustered up the courage and came forward to report.

"Commander, the Jinyiwei vanguard has completed its mission to close the net, and the first batch of 50,000 new troops has also arrived in Yongzhou..."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao turned around, smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

On the other side, seeing the wound on the boy's face that had not yet healed completely, Huaixu caught a glimpse of the flesh and blood under the wound that was as bright as magma, and his heart couldn't help but tremble suddenly.

Through those gaps, he seemed to have a glimpse of the indescribable and horrible monster hidden under the boy's skin.

But before he could think about it, the wounds on Zhu Haomiao's exposed skin slowly closed up, and he returned to his handsome appearance as smooth as jade. The terrifying inner self that had just leaked out through the wounds could no longer be seen.

As if he had seen the devil in human skin with his own eyes, Huaixu's eyes widened, and he seemed to understand something vaguely, and his scalp went numb.

Ignoring Huai Xu's shaky expression, Zhu Haomiao looked around and finally turned his gaze to the north. "The main force of the Golden King's Court is on the westward expedition, and most of the forces left in the homeland have been wiped out by us. Now their lair must be very empty."

Hearing this, Bai Linglong on the side immediately understood what he was thinking and couldn't help but speak.

"But the Golden Royal Court is deep in the northern desert. If a large army were to invade, the supplies would definitely not be enough."

"No, we don't need a large army. We can select two thousand elite soldiers from the Jinyiwei, and let them eat the enemy along the way. Then follow me and attack Huanglong."

With his fists clenched, Zhu Haomiao looked far into the north with a sinister smile.

"Indra...it's your turn!"

………………

"what's going on?"

On the top of a majestic snow-capped mountain, in a magnificent temple, a dozen monks sat together with sullen faces.

"Forget about those lowly people. How could hundreds of thousands of elite Centaurs be wiped out all of a sudden? They are led by the Child of Destiny!"

"I don't understand. Mopu and the others died inexplicably, and they just started fighting out of nowhere."

"I heard that it seemed that the enemy put too much psychological pressure on him, which eventually led to the camp howling."

…………

Listening to the discussions of his colleagues, the leading monk couldn't help but speak.

“Should we inform God?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone else glared at him in unison.

"no!"

"God has just returned to the real world to rest, and before he left, he entrusted us with all the local affairs. How can we fail to live up to God's trust?"

Of course, everyone knows that this is just a grandiose statement.

What they are really worried about is that if you call your leader back right after he leaves, wouldn’t that make you seem incompetent?

How can we make progress in the future?

"It will take at least half a month for the news of the defeat on the front line to be transmitted back. We can use this time difference to discuss this with the First and Third Princes..."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"That's right. Hongjila underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, which led to the annihilation of his entire army. It has nothing to do with us."

As long as they speak with one voice with the son of destiny who stayed behind and put all the blame on Hongjila, they can clear themselves.

By then, even if God comes back, he cannot blame them.
