The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 549: My Chosen Death Is Rather Cruel

Ah...

The masked man let out a miserable scream as he suddenly discovered that one of his arms had disappeared, with scarlet blood gushing out, making an eerie sight.

Before he could do anything, his other arm also fell off.

Moreover, it seemed as if countless ants were crawling within his body, making him feel worse than death.

Crack!

The masked man’s two legs also broke off, and he knelt to the ground with a thud.

"How do you want to die?" The chilling voice made the masked man shiver.

"Please... please, don’t kill me."

The masked man begged.

He never expected that with his high level of strength, he would be like a child unable to truss a chicken in front of Ye Qingtian, crushed like an ant.

He was full of fear, as if confessing to a demon.

Ye Qingtian glanced at him, "Since you won’t choose your method of death, let me choose for you."

Puff!

One of the masked man’s legs separated from his body, blood splattering.

The other leg also separated.

At this moment, he was without hands or feet, as if he were a cripple.

"I gave you a chance, you didn’t choose, my choice will be somewhat harsher."

After speaking, Ye Qingtian slapped out, turning the masked man into a puddle of blood.

But amidst the blood, there was something glowing faintly.

Hmm?

What is this?

It can actually withstand the power of my strike.

He picked it up and his mouth curled into a smile.

"Spirit Core!"

When a martial artist dies, their physical body perishes, but their original cultivation turns into a spirit core.

Refining and absorbing this spirit core is equivalent to directly converting the masked man’s cultivation into one’s own.

Ye Qingtian put it in his pocket.

Looking at Ye Qingtian’s harmless face, Yao’er couldn’t help but shudder.

How could she have thought that Ye Qingtian’s methods were so domineering and arrogant!

Pausing, she saw Ye Qingtian put the spirit core into his pocket and reminded him:

"Ye Qingtian, that spirit core is useless to you. Refining and absorbing it requires extremely strong power, even the Hidden Sect’s Seven Extremes are not capable of it."

"Otherwise, why would people still work hard on cultivation, they could just kill someone for the spirit core and absorb it instead."

Ye Qingtian snorted coldly, "Woman, don’t compare me to others, what others cannot do, I can."

Yao’er rolled her eyes, muttering to herself, "This bastard, I’m kindly reminding you!"

At this moment, Ye Qingtian looked at the still confused Demon Leopard: "And you, do you want to live or die?"

"I... I am just his mount, beyond my control," the Demon Leopard hurriedly prostrated, kneeling in worship.

"Well, follow me in the future, but the way you are following me is too conspicuous."

After speaking, Ye Qingtian waved his large hand and put it into his pocket.

Now in his pocket, there was a spirit core, a one-star demon beast, and an ancient demon snake.

"It’s too little, not enough even to fill a gap between teeth." Finishing, Ye Qingtian glanced at the ancient demon phoenix.

The ancient demon phoenix shivered and hurriedly pleaded to Yao’er for help.

"Ye Qingtian, you are not allowed to lay hands on my demon phoenix!" Yao’er huffed coldly.

"I do not even fancy your demon phoenix, wait until one day it becomes a three-star level demon phoenix then talk about it."

Ye Qingtian said faintly.

Ah?

You don’t fancy it?

The entire Hidden Sect, who knows how many people covet this demon beast of mine, and it’s just a bit away from becoming a star-level demon beast.

Yet you don’t fancy it!

"Let’s go back." Then, Ye Qingtian stepped on the demon phoenix, and the two, along with one demon beast, returned to the Celestial Martial Academy.

The puddle of blood left by the masked man suddenly rose into a cloud of black mist.

"Luckily, my soul was blessed by the Heaven-Reaching Demon King with magic power, allowing it to persist, as long as I find another body."

"Boy, I will definitely not let you go!"

After speaking, the black mist dispersed.

Upon returning to the Celestial Martial Academy, Yao’er discovered that the demon phoenix’s power had skyrocketed.

It had transformed into a star-level demon beast.

Boom!

The ancient demon phoenix burst with dazzling brilliance, its entire body emitting a faint spiritual light.

Seeing this scene, Yao’er was stunned.

"Ye Qingtian, you... could you give me another mud ball?"

Ye Qingtian didn’t think much, randomly rubbed one from his body and tossed it to her, then turned and left.

Watching Ye Qingtian leave, Yao’er’s feelings became immensely complicated.

In the past, feeding the demon phoenix countless elixirs of life couldn’t push it to star level.

Unexpectedly, a small mud ball casually rubbed by Ye Qingtian managed to evolve the demon phoenix to star level.

This is simply incredible!

Soon, in her apartment, Yao’er gathered several elders from the King Demon Sect.

"Elders, you are authorities in the Beast Taming Realm, I want to ask you, can an ordinary demon beast transform into a star-level demon beast just by eating a mud ball from a human body?"

Upon hearing this, the on-site elders all froze.

One elder shook his head, "Princess Yao’Er, such a thing cannot happen, even if an ordinary demon beast ate an entire person, it could not transform."

"Even if that person were a Martial God."

"Indeed, Princess Yao’Er, the difficulty for an ordinary demon beast to become a star-level demon beast is not less than that of a Martial God becoming a Martial Saint!"

Another elder concurred.

Yao’er nodded, they were not wrong.

Throughout the Hidden Sect’s Yellow Level sects, including the Hidden Sect’s Seven Extremes, not a single person has become a Martial Saint.

They’ve struggled for decades to become Martial Saints.

Only by becoming a Martial Saint can one gain recognition from a Profound-tier sect, thus elevating the sect’s ranking dramatically, becoming a Hidden Sect of the Profound Tier.

But the chance is extremely slim.

And so is the difficulty for an ordinary demon beast to become a star-level demon beast.

At this moment, Yao’er asked: "But my demon phoenix ate that man’s mud ball and truly became a star-level demon phoenix."

After she spoke, she took out the mud ball Ye Qingtian had given her.

The leading elders from the King Demon Sect stepped forward to inspect the mud ball.

"This mud ball looks ugly, it’s basically an ordinary mud ball."

"Indeed, it also has a sweat smell, eating it would probably make one vomit."

"Princess Yao’Er, that kid must have fooled you."

The elders all said.

But the next moment, they all froze, their expressions directly stiffening.

Because the mud ball emitted a faint spiritual light, as if it were alive, gracefully dancing on their palms.

Boom!

The scene was astounding!

This is impossible!

Silence reigned at the scene.

All the elders were frightened.

"Princess Yao’Er, this... this is simply the biggest news in the history of the Demon Beast Realm, and it will be the greatest miracle in the Beast Taming Realm!"

The leading Elder Yao said.

The look on his face gradually became solemn, then turned into astonishment.

Even his back was drenched with cold sweat.

He seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable.

"This is simply shocking, this small mud ball, it actually... actually can transform an ordinary demon beast, it’s too unbelievable!"

The elders looked as if they’d seen a ghost.

Which of these individuals is not well-experienced, which is not sharp-eyed, yet they were still shocked by what they saw.
