Chapter 314 I Want Emerald Whisper, Sacrifice, and a Heaven-Defying Opportunity
After Luo Yi slayed the rabbit clan's Luohan Ani with the force of a "god of death," the cat senior, weakened by the depletion of a large amount of "White Tiger's Fiendish Qi," reverted to his original form. Having lost the Heavenly Punishment Blade, Luo Yi, wielding the "Black Scale Sword," still easily killed the troll Cook, who was of the same level.

All the Silver Realm trolls that posed a danger to him are dead.

At this point, he only had one-tenth of his strength left.

Upon seeing this, the remaining trolls surrendered on the spot. They were not mist beasts, but intelligent beings. The troll civilization had long been wiped out by the rabbit race; they had no written language or spoken language, and the concept of "honor" was foreign to them.

Survival is the only option; survival must be achieved by any means necessary.

[Besides... Anirava is dead. Their guards were inadequate; if they return, they will all be executed by the Rabbit Clan Arhats!]

The only chance of survival is to submit to the man who slew the Arhat!

[Captain Anya, recovering from her shock, saw Luo Yi's pale face and knew he was severely depleted of his source blood. She immediately gave him the last three "Heaven-Sent Seeds."]

[“Bang!”]

Luo Yi's heart jolted violently, like the beating of an ancient war drum. Pale golden blood roared and surged through his veins, each drop carrying the power of new life.

Luo Yi drew his sword and mercilessly slaughtered the remaining trolls; Miss Delilah was no match for them.

They are not loyal enough.

At this moment, no one could stop Luo Yi from leaving.

"Yi, wait a minute."

Captain Anya's pointed ears twitched slightly, sensing the faintest movement underground. She drew her recurve bow with a backhand motion; the air seemed to freeze the moment the bowstring tightened.

"Found you." A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and the arrow shot out abruptly, a swirling shockwave tearing through the ground and piercing straight into the earth!

【"Pfft!"】

The arrow pierced the scales with pinpoint accuracy, and a mournful howl echoed from the ground.

"Yi, this is one of the earth-burrowing beasts raised by Luohan—the Lu… We're safe for now." Captain Anya dug open a blood-stained crack in the ground and pulled out a dead beast. She breathed a sigh of relief.

[The *lu* is shaped like an ox, dwells on a hill, has a snake's tail and wings, its feathers are under its tail, and its cry is like that of a ox.]

[This ability allows him to burrow underground.]

Captain Anya explained that within the mist, communication between the various spiritual realms is cut off, making it impossible to maintain contact. Therefore, each race's "army" keeps "exotic beasts" to help them relay messages.

[Human Companion Spirit Beast - Seven-Colored Spirit Pigeon, Rabbit Companion Beast - Earth-Earing Beast, Star-Moon Companion Beast - Feathered Elf!]

These domesticated beasts can ignore the fog and quickly transmit messages between the two spiritual realms. They are important strategic units, few in number, and generally only the gold-level powerhouses of their clans have the privilege of having "accompanying beasts."

Although Luo Yi killed "Arhat Ani," he could still keep the spiritual realm a secret.

[Once the rabbit clan's higher-ups discover the communication has been cut off, they can dispatch new Arhats to search through the mist. This round trip will delay them for at least three years.]

[A Great Spirit Realm with an Arhat in charge can influence dozens of Middle Spirit Realms in the surrounding area, and it takes time to dispatch such a powerful expert from other Spirit Realms.]

[Luo Yi, don't rush, you can rest for a bit.]

[Jura's side should have been flawless. After that fool breached the Fang tribe, as long as the tribute was paid on time, the Rabbit tribe wouldn't have noticed anything amiss in the short term.]

But unfortunately... the three of them didn't share the spoils equally, leading one of them to betray them.

Luo Yi pondered for a moment, then turned and walked with Miss Delilah towards the core of the spiritual realm, where there were still many "Heaven-Sent Seeds" within the spiritual veins.

In this bizarre, misty world, his meager strength is insufficient even to protect himself!

Captain Anya followed closely behind.

On the flat ground before the lord's castle, these were the "old, weak, sick, and disabled" of the tribe, their cloudy yellow eyes now greedily fixed on the slender figure in the center.

Alice knelt on the ground, her magnificent lord's robes torn to shreds, revealing her milky-white skin covered in bruises—if she had known how cruel the outside world was, she shouldn't have begged her mother to let her come to Emerald Whisper Territory.

【boom--!】

[The entrance to the Spirit Realm suddenly exploded with blinding light, and a violent gust of air swept outwards. Alice felt as if she were a blade of grass in the wind; she trembled as she propped herself up, but dared not raise her head.]

[With the golden-bodied Arhat of the Rabbit Clan personally taking action... there's no way anyone could survive!]

As expected.

The sounds of fighting came and went quickly. When the last scream abruptly ceased, Alice's pupils completely lost focus.

Alice, as a lord of the Spirit Realm, has been consuming spirit seeds for many years. Although she lacks strength, her silver flesh and blood already possess a spiritual essence, capable of giving rise to troll "mutants." Those filthy trolls, after consuming her body, will never waste it.

[Just as Alice was lost in thought.]

A gentle breeze blew by.

[“Thud!” A sharp blade suddenly pierced the throat of the troll in front of her.]

【Da, da, da.】

The sound of combat boots crushing blood grew louder as they approached.

Alice stared blankly at the winding stream of blood on the ground, the dark red liquid reflecting the horrific image of her future being torn apart and devoured by trolls...

"Lady Alice..." A clear male voice suddenly pierced the blood-red illusion. The voice still carried the youthful clarity of a boy, yet it possessed a composure honed by the trials of battle.

"How could it be you..." Alice jerked her head back, her pupils contracting sharply, reflecting the approaching figure and the troll corpses crashing down all around her—each corpse bearing the same identical piercing wound in its throat.

Eighteen-year-old Luo Yi, carrying the Black Scale Sword, strode over the corpses strewn across the ground. His long, unkempt hair was haphazardly tied back with an old strip of cloth, a few unruly strands falling in front of his sword-like eyebrows.

"Young Yi, where is Aniruddha?" Alice asked疑惑地.

"So its name is Ani." A bright smile bloomed on the young samurai's blood-stained face. "It's the most terrifying opponent I've ever faced. I'll remember it."

"Ani is dead?! You actually killed an Arhat!!"

Alice gazed up at the boy before her, bathed in a pure white light from the sky. This was the messenger of the gods who had come to save her. A bright smile curved her lips.

"Young man, you saved me, you saved Cuiyu Territory. I, the lord, will bestow upon you a title, a fief, and more."

Her heart was pounding, and the scene of returning to the royal city flashed through her mind—what expressions would her sisters, who always mocked her territory, and her mother, who always said she was less capable than her brothers, have when they saw this warrior who was comparable to an "Arhat"?

"Lady Alice, wait, please don't misunderstand."

Luo Yi suddenly chuckled softly.

He, of course, had no idea what Alice was thinking; he simply thought Lady Alice was incredibly naive.

"What?" Alice was taken aback.

Luo Yi leaned slightly forward, his gaze sweeping over Alice's bare shoulders. His sharp eyes pierced through her disheveled hair, scrutinizing the Star-Moon Clan lord from head to toe—from the snow-white skin peeking through her slightly open collar to the moonstone belt adorning her slender waist, every detail was exquisitely crafted, like a sculpture in a temple.

The handsome men and beautiful women of the Star-Moon Clan perfectly match the human race's "aesthetic standards."

It's a pity that in the eyes of the trolls, this is just a skinny, ugly monkey. This skin that the human nobles are so obsessed with is nothing more than a "white skeleton with hardly any meat on it".

Cook, however, aspires to be the great "Ancestor of the Trolls," and disdains wasting his energy "favoring" the ugly Alice. He even plans to throw her to the crippled old, useless members of his tribe for their amusement.

"I'm not here to save you, I'm here to give you a choice." Luo Yi didn't even notice her beautiful appearance, and calmly asked, "Lady Alice—would you like to become my subject?"

"What?!" Alice's smile froze on her face, her lips trembling slightly. "I'm...sorry, I didn't understand..."

"Alright." Luo Yi slowly straightened up, his black-scaled sword already pressed against Alice's swan-like neck. He said, enunciating each word clearly, "I—want—the—Emerald—Leg!"

"You?!" Alice's chest heaved violently, a blush spreading from her neck to the tips of her ears.

This is the inherent inferiority of the black-haired human race. Despite being deserving of being lowly commoners with inferior blood flowing through their veins, these mere commoners, once they raise their banners, cry out, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

They even overthrew their own tribal king—"beheading as a sacrifice to the flag!"

Alice could understand her fellow Starmoon Clan member's betrayal of Emerald Whisper Territory, because he was also a noble.

[Young Yi joined her guard, and was supposed to be her loyal bodyguard for life! But now he has betrayed her!]

She couldn't understand.

"Anya!!" Alice screamed.

Captain Anya, who had rushed over, abruptly stopped. When she saw the Black Scale Sword held against the lord's neck, she merely opened her mouth, choosing silence. "Lady Alice, please choose quickly," Luo Yi urged.

"The Morning Star Clan will never yield!!" Alice raised her head, her long hair dancing wildly in the wind, a stubborn smile curving her blood-stained lips. "I am of noble Star and Moon blood, how could I submit to someone like you..."

"I understand what you mean." Luo Yi's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade flashed with a chilling light.

"Wait." Alice realized Luo Yi really would kill her, so she quickly shut her mouth, carefully pushing away the Black Scale Sword. She took a deep breath, and suddenly a bright, spring-like smile bloomed on her face: "Young man, I'm willing."

"Wouldn't that be too much of a burden for someone of your noble birth, Lady Morning Star?" Luo Yi hesitated for a moment. "Lady Alice, please rest assured, my sword is swift; it will only sever your throat in an instant. You will not feel the slightest pain."

Alice nearly exploded with anger when she saw the boy's stunned expression.

[You...?]

Alice gritted her teeth, deciding to endure for now, waiting for her mother's general to arrive before she could... She lowered her noble head: "My lord, Alice is not yet three hundred years old, and does not wish to die..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Yi had already turned to look at Miss Delilah, who had been waiting for a long time.

Miss Delilah began announcing to the Spirit Realm farmers that "Emerald Whisper Territory" had changed hands. The various races of the territory were used to it, but they remembered the new lord, Luo Yi, who, according to rumors, was a lord of the "Black-Haired Human Race" who disliked eating intelligent life forms.

They don't need to sacrifice their young to give to lords who like to try new things.

Miss Delilah and Eve recruited Black Iron Guards from other races to repair the houses, while Captain Anya rallied the remaining Starmoon troops to maintain order.

Led by his maid Alice, Luo Yi entered the lord's castle built upon the spiritual vein, intending to cultivate the entire "spiritual seed" of the Emerald Whisper Realm all to himself.

[After becoming a warrior, the refinement of his source blood became exceptionally slow; he needed more spiritual seeds to cultivate.]

The spirit seeds planted in Emerald Whisper Territory are emerald green, scientifically known as Jade Spirit Seeds.

[A mid-level spiritual realm, where spiritual seeds are harvested twice a year. The maid Alice has been managing this place for thirty years, accumulating a considerable stockpile within the underground cave.]

While first-tier spirit seeds have a slight effect on "warriors," the sheer quantity of spirit seeds and exotic beast meat more than compensates for this shortcoming.

Luo Yi remained in the lord's fortress, refining the spiritual seed and tempering his internal organs.

In just two weeks, the aura of a killing god had completely penetrated his kidneys, giving birth to yet another extraordinary phenomenon. Although his power hadn't increased, his kidneys filtered impurities from his blood, causing a marrow cleansing in Luo Yi's body and a significant increase in the rate at which he consumed his spiritual seed.

The body's already exhausted source blood began to regenerate rapidly.

Luo Yi took a deep breath, the cool night wind carrying moonlight penetrating his lungs and flowing through his meridians like tiny silver streams. He could clearly feel his internal organs greedily absorbing this energy—if he were to fully refine his organs, he could probably cleave an entire lord's castle in two with a single, casual strike.

【late at night.】

The master bedroom in the lord's castle has been occupied by Luo Yi.

After finishing his cultivation, Luo Yi took a hot shower and lay down on the soft bed, his body suddenly stiffening.

【"it's me."】

In the darkness, a soft, warm body pressed against him from behind. Delilah's long, slender legs wrapped around his waist like vines, and her cool fingertips slowly traced the lines of Luo Yi's abdominal muscles, her breath gently brushing against his earlobe.

"Kiss me."

Delilah tilted her slender neck back, her azure eyes glistening with tears, and slowly closed them.

[A sudden flashback to that day—beside the stinking garbage heap, a boy with clearly defined ribs, his face filthy except for a pair of eyes that shone brightly.]

The boy who once cowered at the alleyway entrance has now become someone she can only please by stripping naked.

Miss Delilah's willingness to offer herself so readily is clearly a sign that she senses a crisis. She feels uneasy and needs an heir to ensure Luo Yi's loyalty will not waver in the future.

【"I……"】

Luo Yi's breath hitched—he carefully kissed Miss Delilah's blue eyes.

He was burning up and needed more.

Luo Yi could clearly feel her rapid heartbeat. He suddenly grabbed her slender waist, flipped her over, and pressed down on her.

The moment their lips touched, Delilah let out a soft whimper, but wrapped her arms around his neck even tighter.

[Then, a high-pitched cry pierced the night, Delilah's deliberately drawn-out note echoing in the corridor. Moonlight streamed over their intertwined bodies; they hadn't slept all night.]

The next day, Luo Yi ate Eve again.

[Luo Yi, having just tasted the pleasures of love, indulged in several days of debauchery with Miss Delilah and his girlfriend Eve, releasing his pent-up emotions. During one particular cultivation session, he surprisingly and successfully tempered his "liver."]

The three supernatural phenomena resonated with each other, forming a subtle cycle, and his will was able to extend three feet out like a spider web...

"This is the power of the mind!"

[When Luo Yi asked Captain Anya about this phenomenon, Captain Anya looked at him with astonishment, as if he were looking at a monster.]

After getting to know Luo Yi, she learned that the young man before her was only eighteen years old!

[Luo Yi has developed spiritual power, allowing him to envision a realm "above the warrior level." A warrior doesn't need to refine their internal organs to reach perfection to "ignite" the flame and become a "master of war."]

Captain Anya searched the castle and found a book titled "The Method of Igniting Fire to Ascend to Godhood." She also took out three "golden relics" and gave them to Luo Yi. These were treasures she obtained after burning the remains of "Arhat Ani" for ten days and ten nights.

A rare treasure a hundred times more precious than a "Third-Tier Spirit Seed"!

For the Star-Moon Clan to become Star-Moon Envoys who wield magic, or to ignite the flame to ascend to godhood and enter the "Divine Realm," one treasure is indispensable—

Its name is Mithril, Adamantite!

[The same applies to the Rabbit Clan Arhats. After reaching the Golden Realm, they need to consume "Immortal Gold" to forge an indestructible golden body. By activating this body during battle, they can withstand magic!]

The strange "weapons" used by the human warriors were forged by the humans themselves, primarily using mithril as their material!

"Isn't this... a gold coin?" Luo Yi examined the golden relic of the Rabbit Clan Arhat closely. Just then, the cat senior, who had been lazily curled up, suddenly sprang up, opened his blood-red maw, and swallowed it all in one gulp.

By the time Luo Yi realized what was happening, his palm was already empty.

He stiffly lowered his head, while the cat-like senior in his arms was contentedly licking its paws.

Captain Anya didn't know how humans could ignite their power to enter the realm of "Master of Weapons." It was said that "true skill is needed as a catalyst, mithril as the core, and a lifetime of cultivation and will must be forged into the weapon, which is called a Spirit Weapon."

Only in this way can one forge a weapon that uniquely embodies both physical and spiritual cultivation.

[The wielder of a weapon can inherit the will of their predecessors, and this is the most terrifying aspect of humanity. As long as the spirit within the weapon remains extinguished, it will not be lost or broken on the battlefield.]

Within twenty years, successive generations will rise up and make a comeback, ensuring the unbroken backbone of the clan!

The Mist races come from different worlds, each with completely different cultivation methods. While most races rely on talent, the dominant races are capable of cultivation in all aspects.

However, none of them are as overpowered as the human race's "spirit weapon" system.

The Star-Moon Clan has fought with the Human Clan and obtained many "lower-level true skills" from their inheritance, but mithril is extremely rare. However, Luo Yi knows of a place with countless mithril!

[—The Augu Empire is falling into oblivion!]

[They even possess the inheritance of spiritual weapons! If Luo Yi can return, it would truly be an incredible stroke of luck.]

Luo Yi suddenly realized that the reason why the rabbit clan's Luohan Ani came to the Emerald Whisper Territory might not be for war, but because it had learned of the existence of the Augu Empire!

【One month later.】

[The "Golden Arrow Blue" of Crescent Moon City, along with his squad, arrives in Emerald Whisper Territory. Alice, a maid, embellishes the story and recounts to her brother her tragic life of being humiliated by humans, hoping her mother will seek justice for her.]

Alice had already planned how to thoroughly "torture" that human boy: cripple his cultivation, make him clean and wash clothes every day, and even step on his head to force him to call her "Master Alice"!

"What? You mean... Rohan Ani?!" But when Bru heard his sister mention Ani's name, his face immediately filled with terror.

[After silently leaving to consult his mother, the "Lord of Crescent Moon City,"...]

"Little sister, Mother has decided to let you stay by the side of the White Rainbow Sword Saint," Bru said solemnly.

"Huh? Mother means I should become a personal maid for the human race?" Alice was stunned.

【"Yes."】
