In the hall, Shutak covered his right eye with his blood-stained, withered hand, trying to pull out the pen that had pierced his eyeball.
But no matter how hard he tried, the pen seemed to be embedded in his eye socket, and he couldn't budge it an inch.
"No! You can't do this!"
Shutak growled in pain.
"I am a transmigrator registered with the Otherworld Management Committee, and I am an alchemist under close observation."
"I can revolutionize the alchemy system of the Star World and bring value to the entire Great Yin Empire!"
"If you kill me, you will definitely be held accountable by the Otherworld Management Committee, and you will face judgment from them!"
Luo Tian stared at the ugly, lifeless corpse and asked in confusion:
Do you really think... I would care?
After saying this, even Luo Tian himself couldn't help but chuckle.
If he really cared about the Otherworld Management Committee, he wouldn't have dealt with the dwarf Duer openly, nor would he have taken a car to Cowen's manor right in front of the committee's gate.
Luo Tian longs for a peaceful, easy life, but he won't force himself to compromise just to survive.
Even if someone does cause trouble for themselves because of this, wouldn't it be easy to just kill them?
Although I am vulnerable to some underhanded tactics due to my high offensive and low defensive capabilities, as long as I eliminate all those who know the truth, then no one will know my identity.
If that's the case, then why be so hesitant to kill a scumbag?
Raising his right foot, Luo Tian stepped on the withered head that had been drained of most of its life force.
At this time, most of Shutak's white hair had fallen out, his face was covered with age spots, and his body had a faint smell of decay and antiquity.
This scumbag seemed to already know his fate, but at this moment he couldn't even let out a wail; withering away was like a nightmare devouring everything.
He simply lay quietly on the ground, awaiting the end of his fate.
However, the expected death did not come. Luo Tian, who was standing on his head, asked him:
Do you know why I killed you?
His aged body trembled, and his dry lips parted slightly, as if he were using all his strength to ask Luo Tian a question.
However, Luo Tian merely curled the corner of his mouth, a wicked smile on his face.
"Unfortunately, I won't tell you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the head beneath his feet exploded instantly, spraying out a cloud of grayish-white pulp.
There was almost no blood left in that withered body; only a foul-smelling sac covering the bones remained.
Moving his right foot away, the soul power that interfered with reality ensured that Luo Tian was not tainted by those filthy things.
He stared silently at the completely dead body, as if waiting for something.
The next moment, a soul that seemed to be stained with mud flew out from Shutal's body. The passive soul devouring was activated, and a golden scale seemed to appear behind Luo Tian. Guided by the golden scale, the soul flew towards Luo Tian.
But Luo Tian did not choose to devour the filthy soul; instead, he reached out and grabbed the filthy spirit.
Holding the soul from another world in his hand, Luo Tian murmured to himself:
"I killed it but didn't get any experience points, so it seems that the source of experience is indeed related to the soul of the transmigrator from another world."
Is it only by passively absorbing souls that one can gain experience?
Luo Tian glanced at the filthy soul and crushed it.
"Forget it, the will of the remaining soul is already giving me a headache enough. I'd better not let this thing corrupt me."
However, to Luo Tian's surprise, the moment he crushed Shutak's soul, a notification popped out in front of him.
"Experience +6!"
Chapter Twenty-Four: Too Much Force!
"So I've... gotten past the experience-gathering stage and can start last-hitting minions to level up?"
Luo Tian was stunned, standing there for a long time before he came to his senses.
It wasn't until much later that Luo Tian finally showed an excited expression.
"Could this be a change that occurred after I upgraded to level 2?"
"The experience bar has already defaulted to level 2 Nasus starting to farm creeps and gain experience?"
Luo Tian paced back and forth in the room, digesting this exciting news.
But just a few minutes later, the smile on Luo Tian's face gradually disappeared.
"No, including that magician Moken, this is the second otherworldly transmigrator I've killed."
The magician Moken's soul was devoured by my passive soul devouring ability, which gave me 20 experience points. I subconsciously thought that I could only gain experience by devouring otherworldly souls.
But if I can gain experience simply by eliminating otherworldly souls, does that mean that my +6 experience gain from consuming souls is completely irrelevant?
Luo Tian fell into deep thought.
He always felt that there should be a connection between gaining experience from otherworldly transmigrators and gaining experience by killing otherworldly transmigrators.
After thinking for a long time, Luo Tian slammed his hand on the table and said:
"Who cares about the principle behind it? Just try it out and you'll know."
Since we're already in the suburbs, smashing another interdimensional portal to quickly finish things up won't be a big problem. It actually saves me time traveling back and forth between the city and the suburbs.
With that in mind, Luo Tian prepared to go out for a while.
Looking back at the corpse on the ground, Luo Tian flicked his finger, and the Soul-Sucking Strike shook the space.
The shattered space completely shredded and devoured the corpse, and in the process, it even tore off a piece of the carpet, revealing the floor beneath.
After destroying the evidence, Luo Tian ignored the bare floor, rubbed the bloodstain on his index finger caused by the backlash, and led the knight out of the villa.
Grandpa Qin, who was leisurely basking in the sun at the gate, watched Luo Tian leave, and a kind smile appeared on his aged face.
"Mr. Luo, are you going out on business?"
Luo Tian nodded with a smile.
"That alchemist, Shutal, needs something. I'll go out and prepare it."
After exchanging a few polite words, Luo Tian headed towards the wilderness to the left of the guesthouse.
Grandpa Qin watched Luo Tian leave, glancing discreetly at the guesthouse villa.
After frowning and pondering for a while, Grandpa Qin shook his head slightly and sighed:
"Young people should handle their own affairs; the old folks shouldn't interfere."
Half an hour later, accompanied by a thunderous explosion, the entire sky instantly darkened.
While basking in the sun, Grandpa Qin suddenly sat up and looked up at the sky above the desolate wilderness to his left. A huge, dark crack seemed to tear the sky in two, and from the other end of the crack, a dark and deathly aura seeped into the land.
"An interdimensional portal!"
Grandpa Qin's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"On the other side of the interdimensional passage seems to be... an abyss!"
"Could this direction have been created by that guy?"
"This isn't some young man, he's definitely some old monster playing around in the world!"
"Can't afford to mess with them, can't afford to mess with them!"
Grandpa Qin lost interest in sunbathing and quickly retreated into the security room, pretending that he hadn't seen anything.
Meanwhile, in the wilderness right next to the guesthouse, Luo Tian frowned slightly as he looked at his bloodied right hand.
The deep wound almost tore Luo Tian's entire hand back apart, revealing the bare white bone underneath, and the wound spread to his entire forearm.
Even with the soul-devouring technique working, it couldn't immediately heal these horrific wounds; it seemed some unknown force was hindering the arm's recovery.
"This 'q' seems to have hit something bad; it was a bit too forceful."
Looking towards the spatial passage, one could see a magnificent, dark city on the other side.
......
Unimaginable giant biological skeletons formed massive city walls, while magma from the elemental plane of fire transformed into the moat of the magnificent city.
At the highest point in the city center, a vast number of abyssal creatures gathered to conduct a grand sacrificial ceremony.
Eight-armed serpent demons, lustful demon lords, Balor fire demons, infernal dragons... one terrifying creature after another gathered beneath the altar, offering sacrifices one by one.
Angels from heaven, great mages from the human plane, elemental lords from the elemental plane, golden dragons from the dragon plane... these top-tier powerhouses who traversed countless planes could only become food for the altar at this moment.
The massive altar formed from the irregular heaps of flesh and blood easily tore apart and devoured these creatures, its enormous bodies filled with the original sin known as gluttony.
This is the most common flesh and blood sacrifice in the abyss, offering gifts to the flesh and blood altar derived from the will of the abyss in order to pray for the abyss's blessing and to become an abyss lord of a layer of the abyss plane.
All eyes were focused on the flesh altar. Every time the flesh altar swallowed a living being, a hint of disappointment appeared on the faces of the powerful beings gathered beneath it.
The offerings were consumed rapidly, until there were no more living beings left, and the abyss's blessing they had imagined still did not appear.
"Offerings! We need offerings!"
A Baloro demon wielding a flaming greatsword surveyed its surroundings and let out a frenzied roar.
"The Abyss Lord of the 333rd plane has fallen; this is our only chance!"
If we fail to complete the sacrifice and grant one of us the blessing of the Abyss, then an eternal bloodbath from other Abyssal planes awaits us!
The mere mention of the term "Eternal Blood War" evoked fear in many powerful demons.
That was the most terrifying event in the entire Abyss, a war waged by the Abyss Lords to seize control of the plane. The result was always that one side would be completely annihilated or become slaves.
Even the most powerful demigods and demons were not confident that they could survive the Eternal Blood War.
"I can also summon a high-ranking fire spirit."
"I also have a cub with the bloodline of a sacred beast here."
"Our race is willing to offer up three high-ranking demons!"
......
One by one, offerings were presented, but the greed of the flesh-and-blood altar far exceeded everyone's imagination.
