Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 547 - 542 Green Pupil Strange Eye, Everywhere_1
The Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf was overly enthusiastic, eager for a bear hug upon meeting.
It is only right to reciprocate!
Jia Ren raised a hand and pointed. The Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower trembled, and an immense tide of Suppressing Demon Divine Light surged forth, transforming into an overwhelming torrent of divine suppression. Within this golden torrent, a golden True Dragon emerged, fully formed with scales and claws, its appearance identical to Jin Sheng’s. With Jin Sheng as the focal point for visualization, the coalesced True Dragon possessed a complete form and spirit, far surpassing anything conjured from mere imagination.
The golden True Dragon roared and charged towards the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf.
The last time Jia Ren encountered the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf, he was only at the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower was merely at Virtual Refining Stage Completion. Now, although the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower had not ascended to become a Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure, it had reached Combined Body Perfection. Its might had undergone a tremendous change.
The golden True Dragon struck down. The Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf let out a mournful cry as it was heavily smashed into the ground. Unwilling to be suppressed, its body’s black flames flickered, constantly colliding with the Suppressing Demon Divine Light, the two forces weaving into each other. The black fire did not hold out for long and was quickly extinguished by the golden light.
The golden True Dragon opened its mouth to bite. Within a few snaps, it shattered the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf’s Bizarre Body, spreading an aura of resentment and hatred. Just as its Bizarre Body had taken shape, the golden True Dragon transformed into golden chains tipped with spikes, swiftly piercing its flesh and bone, securely binding it. The Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf kept howling, its body constrained by the Suppressing Demon God Chains, unable to move an inch. Even as it tried to reignite its black flames, they had no chance to flourish before golden runes emerged on the chains, restricting the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf’s power. The radiance of the black flames dimmed and was subsequently snuffed out. With the Suppressing Demon God Chains binding its body, the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf was like a leashed dog, no longer a threat.
Who would have thought you would meet such a fate! Jia Ren mused.
The golden chains dragged the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. Unlike other Bizarre Demons, the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf’s unique power could contaminate the Suppressing Demon God Chains, making it an extremely high-risk Bizarre Demon. Once inside the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower, the Suppressing Demon God Chains continued to hold it down, ensuring absolute security.
Wicked Flame landed on the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf, burning slowly. Each time, the Wicked Flame produced was of exceptionally high quality.
Excellent nourishment! The strange powers of resentment and hatred, when burned, produce even more Sacrificial Fire than the Longevity Bizarre, Jia Ren noted. Until now, the Longevity Bizarre had held the record for the most Sacrificial Fire produced by a single entity within the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower; even multiple fused Bizarre Demons could not match it. The Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf could finally take its place, officially claiming the title of the strongest "worker" Bizarre Demon.
Jia Ren sealed the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf without paying it much further attention.
If Bizarre Demons from the Bizarre Realm are appearing in the Sealed Land, is Wang Fugui still alive? How is my old foe, the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre, doing? Has it undergone a significant change, integrating new Bizarre Demons? Bizarre Demons cannot be assessed in the same way as Cultivators. Their complete forms are extremely terrifying, and many Bizarre Demons are merely ’segments’ split by Cultivators. If Bizarre Demons could restore their complete forms, the speed of their power progression would be horrific, far faster than one’s own painstaking cultivation. I’m not sure if the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre has changed, but it’s wise to be prepared. I don’t want to enter the Sealed Land without seals; I could unknowingly fall into traps laid by the Heart-devouring Illusion Bizarre. With even the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf entering the Sealed Land, who knows what other powerful Bizarre Demons might be lurking there? I must proceed with caution!
Jia Ren summoned the Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette. He plucked out its original eyeballs and stored them away. While wearing the Evil-Warding Full Body Armor, he then took out two emerald-green pupils, clearly not human.
This is the Green Pupil Strange Eye!
This Mysterious Instrument was crafted using the Green Pupil Eye Bizarre, the primary material found on the fifth floor of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. When crafting the Cabinet Bizarre, he had studied several other Mysterious Instruments, each with unique uses, but they had yet to prove their worth. Using this item to control the Bizarre Puppet was a good choice.
Lacking the time for a careful study to perfectly meld it with the Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette, Jia Ren had to resort to a crude and simple modification. Its most significant function was to endow the Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette with a strange aura, making it easier to navigate the Sealed Land and avoid drawing the attention of Bizarre Demons.
If I encounter a suitable Bizarre Demon, I’ll appear and escort it into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. If the Bizarre Demon is too strong... we’ll just act as if nothing happened and ignore each other.
The two emerald-green pupils possessed a self-adapting capability. Once inserted into the Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette’s eye sockets, they gradually enlarged, perfectly fitting them. Streams of strange aura flowed over the marionette’s body, its color gradually shifting from aqua-blue to emerald green. The marionette, previously resembling a lifeless object, now seemed as though it were about to gain its own will and move freely.
"Take control!" Jia Ren commanded internally.
He entered the marionette’s core, guarding the control mechanism. The Evil-Warding Full Body Armor he wore emitted a protective force, blocking contamination from any strange power. The marionette, which had momentarily seemed alive, once again became silent and motionless.
Let’s go!
Jia Ren issued commands to the marionette’s control core. The Power Source Crystal erupted with Spiritual Power, and the marionette slithered forward like a snake.
Though the marionette’s travel speed couldn’t match Jia Ren’s own, as a Void Refining Level marionette, it could easily traverse tens of thousands of miles at a time. Continuing its advance, the marionette employed the Green Pupil Strange Eye to scan its surroundings, searching for traces of Bizarre Demons.
The Green Pupil Eye Bizarre, a dual-fused Bizarre Demon, was no weakling, and the Green Pupil Strange Eye inherited many of its abilities. Through the eye, all colors appeared as shades of green. When it sensed the power of a Bizarre Demon, the perceived color would change accordingly. Light green represented Bizarre Demons weaker than the marionette, standard green signified those of equal strength, and emerald green indicated those with power surpassing it. Beyond this, there was the highest level: deep green, representing a terrifying existence that was utterly insurmountable.
This color change was the best means to determine the power of Bizarre Demons. The effect was akin to a Demon-Spotting Talisman, but while the Demon-Spotting Talisman sought Magical Beasts, the Green Pupil Strange Eye detected Bizarre Demons.
The sights that met its gaze were startling. Between heaven and earth, a deep green hue pervaded, infecting every region, seemingly omnipresent.
This is a Bizarre Demon whose influence reaches incredibly far and wide, with an area of effect so large it’s unimaginable. It’s akin to special and formidable Bizarre Demons like the Silent Bizarre or the Lie Bizarre, Jia Ren thought. His expression didn’t change much, as he had anticipated this. When he first refined the Green Pupil Strange Eye, he had personally tested it and seen this deep green color in the Mysterious Realm. He hadn’t expected it to exist not only in the Mysterious Realm but also here in the Sealed Land.
This must be a Bizarre Demon with a trigger mechanism, one that only exerts its power over Cultivators under specific conditions. The fact that Cultivators in the Mysterious Realm are still unharmed is the best proof. The taboo of the Silent Bizarre is not to speak or converse; for the Lie Bizarre, it’s not to tell lies. Breaching such taboos means instant death. Without triggering the taboo, one remains unharmed. I guess this Bizarre Demon is... the Oath Bizarre!
The fact that Bizarre Alliance Cultivators in the Sealed Land, and Senior Brother Wu’s family (who possessed the Sinful Bloodline) in the Mysterious Realm, both sought to use the Oath Bizarre to bind him, indicated that the Oath Bizarre was unsealable and omnipresent. As long as one didn’t make an oath using the Oath Bizarre and then break that promise, they would be fine. However, breaking such an oath would result in a gruesome death. The omnipresence of this deep green strange aura in both the Mysterious Realm and the Sealed Land made the Oath Bizarre the most logical explanation.
The most terrifying aspect of such special Bizarre Demons is their unknown rules. Once one understands the taboos, their threat level significantly decreases.
Still, it’s better to be cautious! Jia Ren decided.
Filtering out the pervasive deep green influence, Jia Ren then observed four distinct traces of emerald green aura. The Bizarre Demons represented by this emerald green aura were no less formidable than the Longevity Bizarre or the recently captured Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf.
I thought that entering the Sealed Land at my current level meant I could go on a rampage, unmatched. Instead, it feels like I’ve entered a low-level Bizarre Realm... These unknown Bizarre Demons are intimidating. It’s better to probe their abilities first to ascertain their true power before deciding to strike. If the threat is negligible, delivering four powerful Bizarre Demons to the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower would produce an amount of Sacrificial Fire far surpassing that of more than forty regular Bizarre Demons. The path to sealing Bizarre Demons must focus on high quality. Bizarre Demons like the Misleading Bizarre won’t be overlooked either; they can be sent to the backup Supreme Demon-sealing Tower. No one can be sure if these lesser ones are ’components’ of more powerful Bizarre Demons, potentially able to complete their missing parts.
"Let’s go!" Jia Ren commanded.
The Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette set into motion, heading straight for the nearest source of emerald green light. This Bizarre Demon resembled a koala-like Magical Beast, lying on the ground and exuding an aura of supreme laziness. Around this Bizarre Demon, a number of Magical Beasts and ordinary animals like foxes, rabbits, snakes, and chickens had gathered. They were clearly influenced by its strange power; though emaciated and skin and bones from hunger, with food within easy reach, they were too lazy to take even a single bite. Not far away lay numerous animal carcasses. They showed no signs of being eaten, looking more like... they had simply starved to death.
What kind of Bizarre Demon is this? Jia Ren wondered.
As the Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette drew closer, it too seemed to fall under the influence of the strange power, becoming just as lethargic and unwilling to move an inch. Even though Jia Ren was wearing the Evil-Warding Full Body Armor, he still felt the encroachment of the Bizarre Demon’s power. Fortunately, he was prepared. Beneath the armor was the Suppressing Demon Divine Armor, condensed from Suppressing Demon Divine Light, which resisted this particular strange power.
Is this the Lazy Bizarre? Or perhaps the Lying Flat Bizarre? Bizarre Demons are indeed inexhaustibly diverse! I previously encountered a Slow Bizarre, and now a Lazy Bizarre. No matter what kind of Bizarre Demon it is, the next step is to send it into the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower.
The Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette conjured a plethora of Suppressing Demon God Chains from thin air, which flew swiftly towards the Lazy Bizarre. As the chains drew near, they too were affected by the Bizarre Demon’s influence, appearing listless. Fortunately, the impact was minor, only slightly hindering their movement. Ultimately, they... bound the Lazy Bizarre, which made no effort to resist. It was then delivered to the 20th floor of the Demon-Sealing Spirit Tower. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
That easy?! Jia Ren was surprised. Compared to the recent battle with the Resentful Hateful Demonic Wolf, dealing with the Lazy Bizarre was far too simple. I don’t know the basis on which the Green Pupil Strange Eye judges power. Both showed an emerald green aura, yet the strength discrepancy is enormous. What leaves me speechless is that... when the Lazy Bizarre was ignited by the Wicked Flame, it didn’t react at all. It was too lazy to move, simply lying flat as it burned... Truly a peculiar Bizarre Demon! The advantage is that the Sacrificial Fire it produces is no less than that of the Longevity Bizarre. Perhaps there’s still a lot of potential to tap.
With the Lazy Bizarre’s disappearance, the previously lethargic, waiting-to-die Magical Beasts and animals seemed to snap back to life. Hunger drove their consciousness, and the will to survive took over. Facing the food now within their reach, they went on a fierce rampage, the former peaceful tranquility gone. Seeing that they were emaciated to mere skin and bones, with not even a few ounces of flesh on them, Jia Ren abandoned the idea of taking a few for game.
The Greedy Spirit Snake Marionette regained full control. Jia Ren directed it to continue onward, heading for the other three powerful Bizarre Demons.
