American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 263: The Holy Stone from Heaven
"It’s like a pie falling from the sky!" Xu Yi looked at Tomie Kawakami, who lay in agony on the ground, his face filled with joy.
He was naturally very interested in the so-called "ultimate Power of Sin", but had been vexed by not knowing where the Source of Sin had drifted off to— he hadn’t expected it to come knocking at his door!
Tomie Kawakami’s heart had been pierced by the "Lust" Sin Remains, and blood gushed out profusely.
Although she seemed to exhibit symptoms similar to those of ordinary people with grave injuries, Xu Yi still did not approach her, but instead watched her warily.
The "Lust" had entered a spatial rift and drifted near the islands of Japan, which was somewhat unexpected for Xu Yi, but not an impossibility.
If extreme situations were to arise, it was even possible that all seven Sources of Sin could be surrounding Japan.
Xu Yi was well aware that the host chosen by the "Lust" Origin couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person; Tomie Kawakami must have some special trait that made her compatible with the "Lust" Origin.
"Save me!" Tomie Kawakami extended her bloody hand, her eyes pitiful yet filled with an undiminishable Charm, to which no ordinary man could resist.
Xu Yi remained unmoved; he had already roughly figured out what was happening.
Sin Remains and the Source of Sin would sense each other’s presence and be drawn to each other, much like a king and his steed; the loser would be devoured, becoming the victor’s strength, and the winner would claim everything.
This was meant to be an extremely brutal battle, but unfortunately,
he had cheated!
Because of the Entries, the Sin Remains had been converted and were completely under his control, rendering this not a fair match from the beginning.
Xu Yi was starting to look forward to the reaction of the hosts of the Sources of Sin when they came to him and discovered the truth; it would surely be interesting.
The hosts wanting to reclaim the "Sin Remains" would have to take him down first, but Xu Yi believed his survival ability was still quite good.
"Hyper Accelerated Regeneration", combined with the "Blood God’s Throne", and lastly the "Resurrection Coin" as the safety net... his survival ability was almost at its peak.
"But still, I shouldn’t be reckless! Aside from the hosts chosen by the Sources of Sin, the Ring of Destruction will surely get involved; facing pincer attacks from both sides then might be problematic..."
Xu Yi thought of the fearsome Alchemical Machinery and the dark Barrier that had nearly killed him, and his heart sank again.
The "Lust" Sin Remains vibrated, bursting into a pink glow.

It sensed the Origin within Tomie Kawakami, and under Xu Yi’s manipulation, it prepared to devour that Origin.
But Tomie Kawakami suddenly stopped screaming; she gave Xu Yi a radiant smile, "Handsome, we’ll meet again!"
Before Xu Yi could react, Tomie Kawakami suddenly collapsed, her body withering and disintegrating at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Xu Yi stared at the pile of white ashes left on the ground, his brows slightly furrowed.
The "Lust" Origin had actually disappeared!
Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Xu Yi felt a sense of loss; he speculated that this might be Tomie Kawakami’s ability.
He bent down to pick up the Sin Remains, and a large amount of pink light flitted across the Sin Remains, visible only to Xu Yi, their master.
"Not bad! At least there’s a consolation prize."
Although the Lust Origin escaped, a small part of it had still been devoured by the Sin Remains, which grew stronger as a result.
Most importantly, the Serpent of Finale’s ability had been activated.
Although he was eager to know the effect of the Serpent of Finale, with Yukeni nearby, it clearly wasn’t a good time.
"Thank you for your noble intervention, Your Highness Yukeni, the Supreme Exorcist and Dragon Empress of Evil."
Xu Yi was beginning to get a sense of how she liked things; the more "chuuni" the title sounded, the more she liked it.
Yukeni had specifically come because she sensed something odd about Tomie Kawakami’s aura.
Though he could have dealt with it himself without her help, he still had to acknowledge this favor.
"Hmph! If it wasn’t for seeing you in such a pitiful and weak state, like a sick dog, I wouldn’t have bothered coming!" Yukeni huffed and turned to leave.
"Farewell, Princess Yukeni," Xu Yi said, unfazed by Yukeni’s haughtiness.
...
Golden sunlight sprinkled across the white sand beach where a mass of shredded flesh suddenly drifted in, getting stranded on the shore.
It wriggled like a maggot as it crawled across the sand, and as it moved, the flesh mass grew, expanding until it transformed into the shape of a human.
It was Tomie Kawakami, naked.
"He was really savage... but I like that so much!"
Tomie Kawakami’s legs twisted together as she rolled on the beach, uttering incomprehensible moans.
Moments later, she stood up, flushed, as a female corpse floated onto the shore, dressed in what appeared to be the attire of a Japanese office lady.
Kawakami swiftly stripped the clothing from the corpse and put them on, appearing slightly bulky but doing nothing to hide her beauty.
A fisherman happened by the seaside and, spotting Tomie Kawakami, became mesmerized, staring blankly at her.
"Do you like me?" Tomie Kawakami approached the fisherman, unprompted.
"Of... of course!" The fisherman stuttered, swallowing saliva repeatedly.
"If you like me, why not dismember me?" Tomie’s tone was gentle, yet the words she spoke were chilling.
...
The room’s door lock was broken by Yukeni, but Xu Yi couldn’t be bothered to have someone fix it. To those with even a slight degree of strength, the door was nothing but a decoration.
To prevent the unwary from coming in, he hung a ’Do Not Disturb’ sign outside and asked Annabelle to stand guard.
"What exactly is the ultimate form of the Power of Sin?"
Xu Yi rubbed his hands together, excitedly taking out the Serpent of Finale.
The Serpent underwent a change. The pupil of the "Serpent of Lust" on the far right, originally grey-white, now featured a pinkish speck, bringing the Serpent to life instantly. Read new chapters at novelbuddy
An excited expression spread across Xu Yi’s face.
The pink speck was only the size of a sesame seed, but its significance was epoch-making, like adding the finishing touch to a dragon painting.
Though it was just a whiff of the Source of Lust that had been absorbed, the "Serpent of Lust" was now activated, like opening the meridian channels.
To create "the ultimate Power of Sin" in the future, the Source of Lust would not be needed; common Souls of Lust would suffice, reducing the difficulty by tens of thousands of times.
The mouth of the "Serpent of Lust" had always been sealed shut, but now it suddenly opened, and a deep red liquid trickled out—that was "the ultimate Power of Sin."
Xu Yi hurriedly took out a test tube to catch the liquid below the Serpent’s mouth.
The amount of liquid was minuscule, coalescing into a drop the size of a green bean at the bottom of the tube, gently rolling.
"Is this the fabled Philosopher’s Stone?"
Xu Yi held the test tube in front of his eyes, gazing at the deep red droplet inside, contemplatively sighing.
He had never imagined that "the ultimate Power of Sin" would turn out to be the Philosopher’s Stone.
The Philosopher’s Stone had many epithets, "the panacea," "the alchemist’s Holy Grail," "the Holy Stone from heaven," "the culmination of Alchemy."
Each title indicated the extraordinary nature of the Philosopher’s Stone.
The "red droplet" before him bore no relation to the word "stone," that’s because the Philosopher’s Stone at the moment of its birth is a liquid; given time, it solidifies, turning into a red Crystal Stone.
Mesmerized by the profound and dazzling light emanating from the Philosopher’s Stone, Xu Yi was completely captivated, losing track of time.
After an indeterminate period, cheers could be heard from outside the room, signaling the end of the church’s "quarantine." They would soon be able to leave this place.
Xu Yi packed away the Philosopher’s Stone, eager to return to his Boston lab and thoroughly test the capabilities of the Philosopher’s Stone.
