I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 45 - 36: Fluttering As If Immortal, the Satisfied Chen Mo!
Chapter 45: Chapter 36: Fluttering As If Immortal, the Satisfied Chen Mo!
The sudden prompt startled Chen Mo for a moment.
The maidservant who had just been attending to his bath was now surrounded by swirling energy, and a blue light shone from her forehead. Faintly visible was a miniature version of a scripture.
As the pages of the book turned, characters surged out, condensing into chains that bound the mass of black fog in place.
"Throat Deity and Tiger General, Qi God Yin Jin... Hey, stop zoning out, I can’t hold him off for long!"
The maidservant’s voice was urgent.
The mass of black fog tumbled fiercely, struggling desperately as the blue light flickered, uncertain.
Chen Mo momentarily suppressed the shock in his heart, concentrated Vitality Essence in the palm of his hand, and struck towards the black fog from afar.
The Faceless Man knew that this Essence was the bane of Ghost Qi and dared not confront it head-on. Opening his mouth, he sucked in the black fog, revealing his true form – a greasy, fat man with a hefty figure.
His fingers turned into blades, and without hesitation, he plunged them into his chest, slicing downwards, brutally splitting open his own torso!
No blood flowed from the wound; instead, a dense ghostly light emanated.
It was as if the eyes of Fierce Beasts were watching, chilling to the soul.
"Without the Soul Summoning Banner, I have no choice but to nourish the ghosts with my body, feeding them with flesh and blood, enduring the agony of my heart being devoured by hundreds of ghosts night and day!"
"Three years, do you know what these three years have been like for me?!"
"Since you took my treasure, I’ll let you experience the pain of being gnawed on by Fierce Ghosts!"
Seeing that he couldn’t escape momentarily, the Faceless Man became even more ferocious.
This place was at the foot of the Emperor’s domain, where masters gathered. He had to fight quickly and decisively, for if a Grandmaster were alerted, there would be no escaping, even if he had wings!
He plunged his hands into his chest and forcefully ripped it open. Instantly, an angry wind howled, and countless pitch-black shadows screamed as they lunged at Chen Mo, while the Faceless Man’s corpulent body shriveled rapidly as if deflating.
The maidservant, watching this scene, turned deathly pale.
"Controlling hundreds of ghosts, devouring souls and seizing spirits... Be careful, this man is a Fifth-Level Ghost Official, don’t get entangled by those ghostly creatures!"
As a Magician, she too often dealt with souls but only with the capture of Wandering Souls.
Wandering Souls are the remnants of a living person’s soul after death, wandering aimlessly in the world without consciousness, fading away within days if they do not attach to an object.
But ghosts are entirely different, generally born from evil or refined from Life Souls, extremely fierce, feeding on living flesh and souls, and even possessing various strange and sinister abilities!
Chen Mo’s strength was already top-notch among his peers, but without a Martial Spirit, he was powerless against the gnawing of hundreds of ghosts...
However, it was already too late as soon as she uttered her warning. In a breath’s time, Chen Mo’s silhouette was engulfed by the dense swarm of ghostly creatures!
The mix of screams and gnawing sounds was hair-raising!
"Chen Mo!"
The maidservant’s expression was frantic, and without regard for the Faceless Man, she channeled the blue glowing characters towards the ghosts.
The Faceless Man abruptly broke free, and a cruel smile stretched across his vague face as his hand, shrouded in black qi, reached for the maidservant’s back.
"Sixth-rank Mage? A fine seedling, perfect for becoming a ghost, and surely a boost to my Cultivation Technique!"
"Leave your life behind for me..."
Suddenly, the gnawing stopped, and the room was briefly silent.
The encircling ghosts froze in place, green beams of light shining through the gaps.
"\*Howl\* \*Howl\* \*Howl\*!"
The next moment, as if they had encountered something terrifying, they screamed shrilly and scattered in all directions!
Chen Mo’s form was revealed once again.
He was engulfed in a fierce green flame, and the pitch-black Ghost Qi melted away like snow under intense sunlight, as the bodies of the ghosts around him gradually became transparent and ethereal.
He raised his palm, and black runes appeared on the back of his hand, directly absorbing the ghosts!
At the same time, a stream of incredibly pure energy surged into his Spirit Platform.
Chen Mo felt indescribably refreshed, as if he was floating on air!
"Is this Soul Power?"
Dispelling Ghost Qi with Vitality Essence, then using Soul Capturing Divine Ability to absorb Soul Power, strengthening his Divine Soul...
And with the enhancement of the "Fierce Ghost Slayer," he didn’t have to worry about his mind being disturbed by Ghost Qi, and his refining speed was significantly boosted!
Chen Mo’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the ghosts.
These weren’t Fierce Ghosts at all, but treasures of experience!
Don’t run!
Let me have a suck!
Chen Mo raised his palm, starting to catch ghosts all around.
Watching the man running after ghosts all over the room, the little maid and Faceless Man both had somewhat dazed expressions.
"Is this guy really a Martial Artist?"
"That’s just way too outrageous!"
In just a short while, one could see that Chen Mo had devoured more than a dozen Fierce Ghosts, causing the Faceless Man’s vague features to twitch as if bleeding internally.
Not every living person can be turned into a ghost; a strong grudge is required.
Just these dozen plus Fierce Ghosts would require the sacrificial offering of at least a hundred living beings!
"Damn it!"
The Faceless Man clenched his teeth and pulled out a palm-sized bronze lamp from his chest, rubbed the wick, and a blue-green Ghost Fire flickered to life.
Under the illumination of the fire, the ghosts’ Qi abruptly intensified, resisting the sucking force of Soul Capturing, one by one they burrowed into the opened chest of the Faceless Man.
"Trying to leave?"
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.
How could he let go of the feast that’s served right to his lips?
With a flick of his wrist, an amber crystal fell into his palm, and without hesitation, he crushed it!
On the attribute panel before his eyes, a flashing "+" sign appeared behind Martial Arts and Divine Skills.
"Soul Capturing, up a level!"
Directly upgrading the Divine Skill Soul Capturing from "Beginner" to "Intermediate"!
The black Magic Seal on the back of his hand twisted like a living thing, the edges of the character becoming clearer, faintly emanating a thread of blood light.
At the same time, the sucking force suddenly increased by several times!
The ghosts that were originally entering the chest of the Faceless Man slowed down as if they were stuck in a quagmire. After a stalemate, they uncontrollably flew backwards and one after another were sucked into Chen Mo’s palm!
"One, two, five... Hiss, woo-hoo~"
The sensation of his Spirit Platform being stuffed with Soul Power made Chen Mo involuntarily moan.
Seeing the situation turning dire, the Faceless Man reached out to grab several Fierce Ghosts nearby and stuffed them into his chest, then tried to pull away.
"Stop him!"
Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, the little maid had already made her move.
A blue light shone intensely from between her brows, and strands of blue chains wrapped the Faceless Man up tight.
"You must hurry, I can’t hold on for long..." freēnovelkiss.com
"I know."
Chen Mo stepped forward decisively, thrusting his palm directly into the Faceless Man’s chest!
Activating the Soul Capturing Divine Ability, he devoured all the ghosts inside him cleanly!
Having absorbed hundreds of Fierce Ghosts, Chen Mo felt an unprecedented clarity in consciousness, as if his soul was about to leave his body, looking down upon the entire room from a high position, not missing any minor movements under his perception.
Only then did he discover faint glimmers of light flashing in the four corners of the room.
"Sound Isolation Technique? No wonder no one came in despite making such a big commotion."
"So well-prepared, looks like I’ve been targeted for a while..."
Chen Mo focused his consciousness, looking at the desiccated husk before him, stirred his palm that was still inserted in its chest.
"To speak from the bottom of my heart..."
"That’s all the ghosts you’ve got? Any more in stock?"
Faceless Man: "..."
Despite the indistinct features, it was still possible to see an expression of anger on his face.
"Little bastard, I’m going to flay you alive, make you into a resentful ghost, trapped for eternity..."
Chen Mo’s palm turned, grasping the pulsating heart.
"Speaking truly from the heart this time, is that really all you’ve got?"
"..."
The Faceless Man bowed his head, with a trembling voice said, "Master, I’ve been drained dry by you, really don’t have a single one left..."
