Chapter 534: Chapter 281: The Eroded Statue of Yen God, Glazed Karma Fire_3

In fact, compared to the third option, the first option would at least save on the usage count of the ’Little Evil Spirit Bell’.

However, Lin Xun seriously doubted the first option— even if his senior sister was willing, the efficiency of eliminating malice was too low, and they would still end up utterly exhausted after a real physical brawl.

If both of them entered together, the number of times the bell could be used might not even be enough. If they ran out before getting close to the statue, they would be done for.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, suddenly coming up with a sly move.

He put down his phone and summoned the ’Valkyrie’ in real life.

Afterwards, he instructed the Valkyrie on the next plan...

Once the blonde girl had taken down all of it, he cancelled the concrete summoning and continued the game.

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ is contemplating the next move. The malicious power is too strong, even her amplified divine techniques can’t dispel it... However, your shikigami doll steps into the main hall alone.]

[Just about to reach out for the railing, she suddenly remembers the situation in the main hall. Your shikigami doll seems to be immune to that evil power...]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ immediately understands your intention. She moves close to your ear and whispers, "My lord, you mean to send the shikigami doll into the main hall to investigate, yes?"]

[Seeing your nod, she finally relaxes and waits with you for the return of the ’Valkyrie’.]

[...]

[Shortly after, the Valkyrie steps out of the main gate, appearing before you.]

[The Valkyrie shakes her head at you repeatedly, three times in succession...]

This was the agreement between Lin Xun and the Valkyrie beforehand: one for whether there were useful props or treasure chests in the main hall, two for any potential special events that could be triggered in the hall, three for any clues on how to defeat the Grand Marshal.

The Valkyrie shaking her head three times meant that none of the above were present, and only the eroded statue was in the main hall.

"Could it be that only if I enter personally, will the following plot be triggered..."

Lin Xun squinted. At present, there’s no other way, he can only choose the third option.

He was about to click the option to venture alone.

Suddenly an idea flashed across his mind, yet another possibility.

He opened the inventory and clicked on a tool he hadn’t used for a long time— ’Withered Flower of Evil’

[’Withered Flower of Evil’ (Special Item): ... When this item is used, it will absorb the malice from the specified target, using it as nourishment for the ’Flower of Evil’, and continue to grow this magical plant.]

[Current Malice storage: 29%, once the Malice storage reaches 100%, the ’Flower of Evil’ will progress to the next growth stage.]

[You take out a mildly withered, pitch-black flower and reach towards the main hall.]

[The black flame and candlelight shoot out together, through the cracks of the door. The flower suddenly exerts a powerful, invisible suction force, absorbing all the malice in the light outrageously.]

[This suction force is vast, even causing the malice in the light to twist and bend, all flowing towards the ’Flower of Evil’, causing the flower to become moist and vibrant.]

[Absorbing malice...]

[Current Malice storage: 33% (↑)]

[Holding the flower in your hand, you try to step into the main hall...]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ hadn’t had time to stop you, when you stepped into the main hall and look towards the statue in the back...]

[You seem completely unaffected and even beckon them with the flower in your hand, signalling them to follow you in.]

[’Moon City Purple Moon’ grits her teeth and follows you into the hall. The statue at the back of the hall remains untouched while all the evil powers have been drawn towards the flower in your hand, unable to reach anyone else.]

[You lead ’Moon City Purple Moon’ and the ’Valkyrie’ deeper into the hall, quickly approaching the statue...]

[Current Malice storage: 57% (↑)]

[...]

[Current Malice Reserve: 73% (↑)]

[The evil power on the statue flows incessantly, unweakened by the absorption of the flowers, allowing you to approach the statue unharmed...]

[The jet-black Inferno gleams suddenly amidst the dense foliage, transforming into a pure white flame akin to splendid glazed pottery!]

[You feel a moment of trance, and suddenly your surroundings change.]

[Before you stretches a limitless black ocean. The tempestuous sea continuously churns up monstrous waves. Each crashing wave raises a swirling black mist.]

[You are very familiar with this black mist; it is the overwhelmingly powerful aura of malice, the aura of malice from the ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit’]

[You and ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ are both floating above this boundless black sea.]

[But here, not only are you, but in the center of the black sea, there is also a flame that could burn the sky and boil the ocean!]

[The flame sometimes reveals the color of light as pure as glazed pottery. Bathing in this firelight can calm all malicious thoughts and wash away all earthly filth from one’s mind.]

[The flame sometimes turns into a darkness as black as the Abyss. Those subjected to this firelight will be consumed by endless malice, desiring to taste human flesh and to slaughter all living beings.]

[Finally, the flame briefly maintains a pale color, a vast consciousness pouring into your mind...]

[Offspring of the old gods, He knows you are guided by the ’Tiansui Blooming Rice’ to resist the ’Evil God’.]

[However, it’s all too late...]

[The Evil God has already sowed the seeds of malice among humans. Once the seeds bloom and bear fruit, the Evil God will become the one and only True God, leaving no escape for any creature from His control.]

[He and your Father God will soon be powerless to struggle, and unable to protect their people.]

[The only thing you can do now is to slay the incarnations of the Evil God on earth, slowing down the process of the Evil God corrupting everything...]

[The Evil God has countless manifestations spread throughout every human kingdom. Today, you, being the ruler of this kingdom, have obtained a trace of the breath of the Evil God, becoming an incarnation of the Evil God walking on earth.]

[Yet with your current strength, you may not be able to stand up to Him.]

[You need to find the gods who haven’t been corrupted by the Evil God yet to help you complete this target...]

[His power is nearly exhausted, and He can give you very little.]

[Only the remaining divine light as encouragement to you...]

[The pale flame suddenly releases a dazzling light that illuminates the earth!]

[Faithful Apostle, your current covenant status changes!]

[’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ has now become your allied covenant faction, and ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit’ has remained your enemy covenant faction!]

[You are given the covenant faction title of ’Yama Representative’ bestowed by the allied covenant’s Main God!]

[Because of the ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ covenant faction’s approval of you, your special attribute ’Fallen Karma Fire’ can be normally strengthened!]

[Your equipment ’Harvest Sickle of Tiansui Blooming Rice’ (Legend+ level equipment) has been unsealed!]

[...]

[After illuminating everything thoroughly, the overarching brightness gradually dims and extinguishes. This pale flame is gradually layered with a palpable darkness. The ’Glazed Karma Fire’ is about to turn into ’Fallen Karma Fire’...]

[You feel a moment of trance, and suddenly your surroundings change.]

[When you come back to your senses, you are back in the temple...]

[Beside you, ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ kneels on both knees, worshipping you. She speaks devoutly: Dear sir, no, Honorable Representative! If you need any assistance, I am willing to walk through fire and water and face any danger!]
