Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 462 - 457: Parasitic Controller Deity Guise, Devouring Bizarre Demons_1

Chapter 462: Chapter 457: Parasitic Controller Deity Guise, Devouring Bizarre Demons_1

The unknown Bizarre Demons had most likely already been sent into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

Jia Ren’s gaze landed on the Spirit Fish that had been parasitized before.

The Spirit Fish was unaffected by the Suppressing Demon Divine Light within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower and could move normally.

If there were still Bizarre Demons inside its body, it would not have been immune to the influence of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

The Spirit Fish was a means to mislead me!

If he had believed that the unknown Bizarre Demons were hiding inside the Spirit Fish, targeted only the Spirit Fish, and thus let down his guard, the outcome would surely have been tragic.

Where were the Bizarre Demons then?

Jia Ren believed his actions this time had been foolproof. It was highly probable the Bizarre Demons had entered the eighth floor of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

Heavenly Vision activated. His gaze swept around, but the result was not much different from before—he could not see any trace of the unknown Bizarre Demons.

It was as if his previous speculation had been an illusion.

Jia Ren realized his own shortcoming.

He lacked the means to test and confirm the presence of Bizarre Demons.

Previously, he could use the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, which worked wonders. This time, however, although he had suppressed the Bizarre Demons, his inability to locate the invisible ones was frustrating.

With a thought, Jia Ren sent the items that had been transferred into the Demon-Sealing Tower to other tower floors for "isolation."

Uncertain whether the unknown Bizarre Demons had possessed other items, he did not dare release them rashly, lest he dig a pit for himself.

Various items were sent to other tower floors, isolated from each other, to confirm one by one if any Bizarre Demons were present.

The test method was very simple: release the Demon-Suppressing Force in the suspicious target area, and the Xuan Beast Avatar—his "Bizarre Demon Detector"—would personally confirm the presence of any Bizarre Demons.

The Xuan Beast Avatar repeatedly probed, serving as bait.

Moments later, the Xuan Beast Avatar felt an incredibly intense danger approaching. A powerful and bizarre will was trying to forcefully seize control of its body.

Found it!

Jia Ren sensed the change in the Xuan Beast Avatar, confirmed that the fish had taken the bait, and acted without the slightest hesitation.

"Suppress!"

The Demon-Suppressing Force, far stronger than before, erupted. The Xuan Beast Avatar felt the invading bizarre force disappear, and it regained control of its body.

Finally, the location of the Bizarre Demon was confirmed!

It had been hiding on the eighth floor all along. Because the Bizarre Demon was formless and invisible, its presence could not be detected, which was why Jia Ren had been unable to see it.

It was known that this Bizarre Demon possessed the ability to parasitize and control living beings, forcibly taking over their bodies.

Beyond that, it could also contaminate the main body through its connection with its avatars.

This ability was quite terrifying. Combined with its intangible nature, it was extremely hard to guard against.

I’ll call you the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise!

Without a doubt, the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise was a formidable fused Bizarre Demon. If such a Bizarre Demon could be used as a blueprint to create a Bizarre Talisman or Mysterious Instrument, the effects would undoubtedly be very powerful.

To use this kind of Bizarre Demon for experimentation, he first needed a way to observe the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to distinguish the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise’s body. During experimentation, it might seize the opportunity to escape.

He would become the first victim.

After confirming the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise, Jia Ren did not lower his guard.

There was no guarantee that this was the only such imperceptible Bizarre Demon; he could not let any slip through the net.

He checked inside and out dozens of times. Only after confirming there were no issues did he once again release the Bronze Strange Gate to continue capturing Bizarre Demons.

For three consecutive months, Bizarre Demons were captured in a continuous stream.

Another thirteen different Bizarre Demons were sent into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

These included a black mass that continuously produced black flesh-worms, named the Flesh-Worm Bizarre.

One was the Estrus Bizarre, which stimulated Passion Desire, causing everything it saw to enter a state of "spring" or heat.

There was also a humanoid monster, a special Bizarre Demon without facial features, named the No-Face Bizarre.

Besides these, there were also the Rock Bizarre, Withered Bizarre, Silkworm Spirit Bizarre, Kappa Bizarre, Flame Calabash Bizarre, Winter Spirit Bizarre, Electric Eel Bizarre, and Toothless Bizarre.

Each type of Bizarre Demon possessed different abilities and unique characteristics, greatly enriching the variety and number of Bizarre Demons within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.

Jia Ren sent the No-Face Bizarre to the second floor, where it fused with the Two-faced Bizarre (a fusion of the Smiling Bizarre and the Crying Bizarre). It officially evolved into a Dual-Faced Bizarre Person, becoming the third fused Bizarre Demon.

The Dual-Faced Bizarre Person’s crying and laughing abilities were enhanced to an epic level. The Bizarre Demon’s range of influence and its effects increased drastically.

A Bizarre Demon that had undergone three fusions was something even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators found hard to resist.

The Kappa Bizarre was sent to the twenty-third floor. Although it did not fuse with the Black Blood Lake Bizarre, the addition of a new ’companion creature’ still somewhat increased the Black Blood Lake Bizarre’s overall abilities.

The Flesh-Worm Bizarre was sent to the twenty-sixth floor, where it fused with the Corpse Worm Bizarre to become the Flesh Corpse Worm Bizarre.

The Flesh Corpse Worm Bizarre born from this fusion possessed extremely strange abilities.

What amazed Jia Ren the most was the Hungry Bizarre on the sixth floor.

In addition to the Hungry Bizarre, the Hair Bizarre and Pillar Bizarre were also on the sixth floor.

After slightly relaxing the restrictions to test a few Bizarre Demons, he made a surprising discovery...

The Hair Bizarre and Pillar Bizarre were nowhere to be seen.

No trace of the Hair Bizarre or Pillar Bizarre could be found on the sixth floor; only the Hungry Bizarre remained.

Where were the Hair Bizarre and Pillar Bizarre?

If there were no issues with the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, how could two Bizarre Demons simply vanish into thin air?

Could it be...

Had the two Bizarre Demons been eaten by the Hungry Bizarre?

As Jia Ren thought this, his gaze assessed the Hungry Bizarre.

The Hungry Bizarre’s appearance had changed significantly. Its hair was now dark black and dense; otherwise, there weren’t many other major changes.

Did it fuse with the Hair Bizarre?

No, that’s not it... It’s not fusion...

Jia Ren could not sense the slightest trace of the Hair Bizarre’s aura; it had completely vanished. Only the Hair Bizarre’s abilities remained, now part of the Hungry Bizarre.

Moreover, although the Hungry Bizarre’s abilities had been enhanced, the increase was not as significant as with the fusion of other Bizarre Demons.

Although the Hungry Bizarre’s abilities had indeed been enhanced, they weren’t excessively terrifying.

This was not a fusion of Bizarre Demons... It was more like its abilities and power had been forcibly devoured and plundered.

Could it be that the Hungry Bizarre devoured it and acquired the Hair Bizarre’s abilities?

What about the Pillar Bizarre? Was it also eaten by the Hungry Bizarre? Did it also gain the Pillar Bizarre’s abilities?

Wait, could the Hungry Bizarre’s most powerful ability be... the permanent eradication of Bizarre Demons?

Bizarre Demons were considered undying and indestructible; they couldn’t even destroy each other.

Until now, aside from sealing Bizarre Demons or burning them for his own use with the Wicked Flame, Jia Ren had no other way to deal with them.

The disappearance of the Hair Bizarre and Pillar Bizarre led Jia Ren to a sudden realization.

The Hungry Bizarre’s most powerful ability... Bizarre Demons devoured by it couldn’t be reborn?

Complete annihilation?

Why hadn’t it shown this ability before?

Jia Ren thought of the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise.

The Hungry Bizarre had been controlled by it before, unable to feed freely.

Its growth had always been limited by the Parasitic Controller Deity Guise, preventing it from devouring Bizarre Demons.

It was only after Jia Ren’s arrival that the Hungry Bizarre was set ’free’, displaying its astonishing growth potential.

If the Hungry Bizarre truly possesses the ability to eliminate Bizarre Demons, could I use it as a blueprint to create similar Bizarre Objects or Mysterious Instruments that could permanently deal with Bizarre Demons?

Jia Ren became excited, his eyes filled with anticipation.

In his mind, Bizarre Demons had always been an unsolvable problem, impossible to destroy.

After entering the Mysterious Realm, his understanding of Bizarre Demons remained the same.

Even High-Order Cultivators could do little more than Jia Ren; they could only split and suppress Bizarre Demons, sending them into different Sealed Lands.

It was not until this moment that he finally saw hope.

Jia Ren lifted some of the Demon-Suppressing Force on the sixth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower to test the Hungry Bizarre’s strength and abilities.

After dozens of tests, he finally confirmed the answer.

The Hungry Bizarre indeed possessed the Hair Bizarre’s abilities, but it hadn’t gained any similar abilities from devouring the Pillar Bizarre.

Can it only gain one type of ability through devouring?

Or is there a limit to the number of abilities the Hungry Bizarre can acquire from devouring?

Should I continue testing?

If the Hungry Bizarre keeps devouring Bizarre Demons and growing, won’t it eventually become too powerful for the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower to suppress?

Will I create an uncontrollable, horrific existence?

Still, I have to test it!

At least, the Hungry Bizarre’s strength isn’t unmanageable yet.

Only by understanding the Hungry Bizarre’s abilities and confirming that Bizarre Demons can truly be killed can I rest easy.

This was the first time he had come so close to truly eradicating Bizarre Demons. It was a hard-won opportunity he was unwilling to let slip, no matter what.

Time for a new experiment!

Jia Ren’s gaze swept over the Bizarre Demons within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. After a moment’s hesitation, he tossed the Hand Bizarre from the seventh floor into the sixth floor.

Upon entering the sixth floor, the Hungry Bizarre’s ghastly green eyes stared fixedly at the Hand Bizarre, as if looking at a delicious meal.

Under the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower’s suppression, it couldn’t move at all.

The next moment, the suppressing force vanished.

The Hungry Bizarre, its hunger reaching an extreme, suddenly pounced toward the Hand Bizarre.

The Hand Bizarre, sensing an unprecedented danger, slapped down hundreds of palms, trying to knock the Hungry Bizarre away.

The hair on the Hungry Bizarre’s head flowed like a waterfall, seemingly coming alive. It entangled each of the strange hands as its wizened mouth lunged towards the Hand Bizarre’s core.

It bit into the Hand Bizarre’s core, and a mass of black hair constricted it, cutting off any chance of escape.

Bite after bite, the Hungry Bizarre appeared like someone who had been starved for a long time, frantically consuming the Hand Bizarre as if afraid someone else might snatch the meal away.

After the Hand Bizarre was devoured by the Hungry Bizarre, it did not respawn after death, unlike what would happen if it were burned by the Wicked Flame.

Is it dead? Completely gone?

Jia Ren stared at the Hungry Bizarre, clearly sensing minute changes occurring in its palms.

Its aura grew at an astonishing rate; its strength doubled after devouring the Hand Bizarre.

This increase was less than that achieved through the fusion of Bizarre Demons, but it represented steady growth.

Can the Hungry Bizarre really devour other Bizarre Demons?

And can it also plunder their power for its own use?

Since it hadn’t shown any abilities from the Pillar Bizarre, is there a limit to the number of abilities it can plunder?

Or is this plundering only effective against specific types of Bizarre Demons?

Jia Ren hesitated for a moment, then threw the newly acquired Silkworm Spirit Bizarre onto the sixth floor.

The Silkworm Spirit Bizarre sensed the immense threat from the Hungry Bizarre. The moment the suppressing force vanished, it turned to flee.

The Hungry Bizarre moved with startling speed. Its palms pressed against the floor, transforming into massive hands far larger than its body. With a forceful push, it shot out like a cannonball, hurtling towards the Silkworm Spirit Bizarre.

Realizing the danger, the Silkworm Spirit Bizarre turned and spat out a large mass of silken threads towards the Hungry Bizarre.

The Hungry Bizarre was entangled by the sticky silk, slowing its momentum.

Before the Silkworm Spirit Bizarre could escape, black strands of hair shot out like arrows from the Hungry Bizarre, pinning it to the ground.

Its emaciated mouth approached and swallowed the Silkworm Spirit Bizarre in just a few bites.

Unlike the devouring of the Hand Bizarre, after consuming the Silkworm Spirit Bizarre, the power enhancement for the Hungry Bizarre was minimal, nowhere near the growth from devouring the Hand Bizarre.

Why such a big difference?
