Chapter 510 Plunder
Just a moment ago.

There was a strange movement in the abyss prison within Lü Yang's physical body and spiritual realm.

Be aware of this.

Hu Qi stood up from his seat.

He sat down cross-legged in front of the porthole.

His eyes were slightly closed.

It appears to be a form of cultivation.

Actually.

His consciousness had already appeared in another place.

……

A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, its cool moonlight pouring down.

Above a lake shrouded in a hazy white mist.

Hu Qi's figure suddenly appeared.

He stood with his feet on the water.

A delicate ripple spread outwards from him.

He glanced around at himself, then lifted his leg and walked forward.

In a few steps, his figure passed straight through the white mist and arrived at the location of the Abyss Prison.

Since the last time I occupied Lü Yang's body.

He never returned to that place.

To outsiders.

This abyss prison is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The prisoners held here are at least at the level of true gods.

With a little effort, one can gain some approval from these true gods.

They can then use the Abyss Prison as a medium to receive the gifts of the true God.

Even the smallest gift from the true God.

That would be enough to create an earth-shattering event.

Moreover, so many true gods are imprisoned here.

The only difficulty.

The problem is that gaining recognition is not easy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken 'Lü Yang' two or three years to barely gain the little girl in the first prison cell a little bit of goodwill towards him.

As for Aphrodite in the third cell, despite her high level of approval, Lü Yang's actions constitute a form of deception.

It was just to make the other party believe that Lü Yang was their biological child.

Limited self-acceptance.

When their relationship deepens to the point where even if Aphrodite knows that Lü Yang is not her biological child, she will still treat him as her own, that will be true acceptance.

Unfortunately, Lü Yang didn't understand this at all.

It's impossible for Lü Yang to have only eighty-odd calories of qi and blood.

In a sense, this is only equivalent to the most superficial level of recognition.

The benefits gained are limited.

If it's a deeper level of recognition.

Lü Yang has probably already broken through to the level of a martial artist.

But for Hu Qi

This is nothing more than a dispensable toy.

Moreover, this item was personally crafted by that being who was suspected to be the Dao Lord.

Therefore, he never paid much attention to or used it.

Standing in front of the prison gate at this moment,

Hu Qi's eyes flickered slightly.

All that could be seen was that large, black iron gate.

A scarlet number suddenly appeared:

【six】

Hu Qi was previously a 'prisoner' in cell number five.

After he left.

Cell number five naturally disappeared, and the number of cells should now be restored to four.

This is why the current situation has occurred.

It is obvious that new 'prisoners' have appeared in this abyss prison.

And unsurprisingly.

This time, two entered at once.

This was something that had never happened before in Lü Yang's memory.

Ever since he acquired this abyssal prison.

so far.

If you really calculate it...

On average, a new prisoner enters the prison only once every six months or so.

Think about this.

A hint of amusement flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

"interesting."

He muttered to himself, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Could this be related to Lü Yang's breakthrough in strength?"

In a flash, he vaguely guessed the connection between them.

This abyss prison is closely linked to Lü Yang's fate, and can almost be regarded as his unique 'golden finger'.

It exists solely for him.

Now that 'Lü Yang' has broken through to the Martial Master realm, this Abyss Prison naturally needs to hold more prisoners for Lü Yang to conquer.
It's like some card games.

As your level increases, you'll be able to unlock more characters.

Think about this.

Without much hesitation, he pushed open the door and went inside.

The prison remains the same, not much different from before.

Inside Prison Number One, the little girl stayed quietly inside.

As 'Lv Yang' appeared.

The little girl named Ya Ya began to tremble uncontrollably, clutching her teddy bear tightly in her arms.

Hu Qi, standing outside the prison cell, seemed like some kind of monstrous flood.

This is true.

Because she knows.

The 'Lu Yang' before my eyes is no longer the Lu Yang of before; he has now been completely taken over by that monster.

As for the old man playing chess in the second cell.

Upon seeing Hu Qi arrive, he immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.

He had seen what Hu Qi had done before.

Fearing that it would attract Hu Qi's attention, he decided to give him a beating as well.

Regarding these two people.

Hu Qi ignored him and walked straight ahead.

They arrived at cell number three.

It was pitch black.

But a woman's mournful cry echoed in the dark corridor, like a dull knife repeatedly cutting into the listener's nerves.

The sound rose and fell, interspersed with intermittent sobs, creating an eerie echo between the stone walls.

"Waaah... my child... where are you..."

suddenly.

Just then, a beast-like roar came from the fourth cell next door.

"boom--"

The heavy impact made the entire wall shake slightly.

"It's endless, right?"

His hoarse voice was filled with malice and anger.

"Damn crazy woman, wait until I get out of here."

As he spoke, he was accompanied by heavy breathing.

"Once I get out, I'll devour you alive, and then I'll find your little brat, chew him up, and swallow him too, so you and your child can have a proper reunion inside my belly."

Hu Qi saw a pair of bloodshot eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light in the shadows of the fourth cell.

This person was none other than the fat man in the fourth cell.

However, his red-glowing eyes fell on Hu Qi's calm face.

The red light in his eyes froze, and the angry curses he was about to utter stuck in his throat.

"M-Sir, you've arrived..."

His tone became cautious, showing no trace of his previous fierce demeanor.

In this regard.

Hu Qi ignored him.

I could hear crying from one side.

Hu Qi frowned slightly.

He reached out and patted the iron gate.

"Keep yelling like that and I'll hit you again! Keep it down this late, you're disturbing the peace!"

The words fell.

The woman's crying stopped abruptly.

Clearly, he was traumatized by Hu Qi's previous beating.

Because she knew that no matter how angry the fat man was, he couldn't do anything to her.

But Hu Qi is different.

That last attack nearly killed her, and she's only just recovered.

Naturally, he dared not provoke Hu Qi any further.

In Hu Qi's view, these so-called true gods all have some kind of essential flaw.

Although they possess the power of true gods, they either fall into mad chaos or indulge in extreme fanaticism.

They were like a bunch of pathetic lunatics.

But yes.

If it is a normal, true God with a sound mind and no defects.

Wanting to master the strategy and gain recognition is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Lü Yang is likely to be played to death.

After all, none of those who can become true gods are kind-hearted.

However, no matter how crazy someone is, as long as they have intelligence, they will still feel fear.

Ignore the grateful look from the fat man in cell number four.

Hu Qi did not linger in front of these cells, and went straight to the newly appeared fifth and sixth cells.

Cell number five. Deathly silence.

The only window that let in light was covered with pale spiderwebs, the fine threads gleaming eerily in the dim light, blocking Hu Qi's view.

See this scene.

His figure swayed slightly, and like a ghost, he passed through the cell wall without encountering any hindrance.

And just as Hu Qi entered the cell.

The entire cell seemed to come alive!
Thousands of spider silk burst forth from all directions, weaving into a vast net in the air.

At the same time, a chilling rustling sound came from above, and a huge black shadow, accompanied by a foul stench, crashed down.

Face this scene.

Hu Qi remained calm.

next second.

boom--!
The air exploded, and the shockwave burst out.

The entire cell shook violently.

Once the dust settled, the spiderwebs turned into scattered ashes.

In the corner, a deformed monster, half-human and half-spider, lay curled up in a pool of blood.

Her girlish upper body was covered in horrific lacerations, most of her eight limbs were broken, and dark green fluid was oozing from her ruptured abdominal cavity.

Hu Qi stepped forward through the viscous blood plasma, his boots making an unpleasant, sticky sound.

The spider girl's only remaining eyeball was wide open, staring in fear at Hu Qi in front of her.

Want to struggle.

But she discovered that chains were protruding from the cell, binding her body tightly.

"...You...who exactly are you...?"

I'm too lazy to waste words with the other party.

Hu Qi reached into her brain and began searching her soul.

Images flashed before his eyes.

The girl's eyes became vacant.

half an hour.

Hu Qi released his grip and frowned.

"Another piece of trash!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the cell.

He had considered obtaining martial arts techniques from these 'prisoners'.

However, like the spider girl, these guys' memories seemed to have been edited out, and they had no information about this at all.

Even if there were a few words, they were not related to martial arts, but rather to information about other extraordinary systems.

Subsequently.

Hu Qi walked toward the sixth cell.

Compared to the half-human, half-spider state in cell number five.

The scene inside cell number six appeared much more normal.

The lights were bright.

A man sat cross-legged in the middle, his red hair cascading over his shoulders.

His face has sharp features and strong lines.

His bare upper body was muscular, every line seemingly containing explosive power.

Beneath the tattered trousers, two scarred legs were revealed, yet their imposing presence remained undiminished.

What is most striking is the faint golden aura surrounding him.

Like the energy released when a Super Saiyan explodes, it scorched the surrounding air, causing it to distort slightly.

Deep dents are often left on the surrounding walls.

He sat quietly in the center of the cell, his eyes closed.

This person is quite capable.

Hu Qi made this judgment the moment he saw the other person.

At least he's much better than the previous prisoners.

It reaches a state equivalent to the middle to late stage of the Dao Seed realm.

Swish!
At this time.

Seemingly sensing Hu Qi's arrival, the man sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes.

Two beams of golden light, like lasers, seemed to shoot out from his eyes, striking the wall with a soft sound.

"So it was you who imprisoned me here?"

The man spoke.

"Release me now, and I will spare your life and even bestow upon you an immense opportunity..."

Hu Qi couldn't be bothered to listen to the man's nonsense.

He simply raised his hand and waved it.

Runes suddenly lit up all around the cell.

A terrifying restrictive force suddenly descended, pressing the man to the ground like a dead dog.

"—Ah! Damn it! How dare you treat me like this! Do you know who I am?!"

Upon seeing this, the man's eyes turned bloodshot, as if he had been greatly insulted.

The golden aura around his body suddenly expanded, and he actually managed to straighten up.

Unfortunately, this abyss prison existed precisely to hold these kinds of people.

Resistance is virtually impossible.

In an instant, the ancient runes on the surrounding walls suddenly burst forth with a blinding blood-red light.

An even more terrifying restrictive force descended suddenly, as if an entire world was pressing down on the man's spine.

--puff!

A cloud of blood mist exploded from his body, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking. The man could no longer hold on and crashed heavily to the ground like a lump of mud.

The ground cracked with spiderweb-like patterns around him, his face was pressed tightly between the rubble, and he couldn't move even a finger.

Hu Qi entered the cell and stood in front of the man.

He crouched down and placed his hand on the man's head.

"How dare you! You dare search my soul!?"

The man's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a hoarse roar.

But the next second, his pupils suddenly dilated, and all his struggles froze on his distorted face.

A few breaths later, Hu Qi suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm? Interesting, it's actually a divine body?"

Although the man's memories were also incomplete.

However, it contains some information about itself.

It also originates from the Black Disk galaxy.

However, it comes from tens of thousands of years ago.

Its own divine body is called: Desolate Heaven Overlord Body.

He also possesses a martial arts technique that leads directly to the realm of a martial god, although it is somewhat incomplete.

But it is still very useful to Hu Qi.

"That's good. I was just thinking about how to disguise my divine body and whether I would give myself away!"

A slight smile appeared on Hu Qi's lips.

This man was clearly preparing for 'Lü Yang'.

If he didn't exist.

Lü Yang is very likely to acquire the other party's divine body later on, allowing him to go even further.

However, the result is now about the same.

next second.

His five fingers suddenly tightened.

The Heaven-Seizing Technique was activated.

All of a sudden.

It seemed that some special energy was constantly flowing out of the red-haired man's body.

It was absorbed by Hu Qi, or more accurately, by Lü Yang's soul and physical body that were covering his body.

Those things were none other than the characteristics of the Desolate Heaven Overlord Body.

After a while, when he let go of her hand.

The red-haired man in front of them had lost a lot of his strength and had fainted.

Hu Qi didn't interfere.

Its body faded and it left this place.

……

outside world.

Inside the cabin.

Hu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.

His aura suddenly surged, but in the next instant, it subsided completely.

Inside the body.

Golden runes emerged one after another.

Enveloping the whole body.

After absorbing the red-haired man's memories, Hu Qi gained a deeper understanding of the divine body.

Not only are the types of divine bodies different, but their power is also closely related to the degree of development.

Even with the same divine body, different levels of development result in vastly different levels of power that can be unleashed.

As a powerful figure who had already entered the realm of true gods, the red-haired man naturally had fully developed the Desolate Heaven Overlord Body to its peak.

Under normal circumstances, even if it is plundered, it cannot be digested and absorbed.

The only result was that this body was stretched to the point of bursting.

However, thanks to the profound power of the Heaven-Seizing Technique and Hu Qi's precise control, this characteristic belonging to the Desolate Heaven Overlord Body is being gradually refined and inherited.

At this moment, if one's gaze could penetrate the membrane, one could see that every cell in the body was greedily absorbing the characteristics of the Desolate Heavenly Overlord Body, and every inch of flesh and blood was being reshaped and grown.

Just as Hu Qi was absorbing this characteristic.

At this time.

The spaceship, having accelerated to its limit, shuddered, and the void ahead suddenly distorted as a beam of eerie blue energy tore through space.

A hideous rift was torn open in the curtain of the universe.

It was a miniature black hole in the process of forming, and the surrounding space twisted and flowed like molten glass, even swallowing up starlight.

The spaceship pierced the black hole like a sharp sword.

The moment it entered, the entire spaceship was stretched into an infinitely thin quantum state.

Outside the porthole, the starlight from the spiral arms of the galaxy was distorted into rainbow-colored bands of light, where time and space seemed to lose their meaning.

Interstellar travel has begun.

……

at the same time.

Inside another unknown spatial rift.

A dormant will suddenly stirred.

"Hmm, is this the fluctuation of a fully formed divine body?"
