Chapter 1263 Becoming a Host
"What?! Night Song has become a religion?!"
Upon hearing this news, Black Sword's face was filled with disbelief, as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world.
"How is this possible? Even if he has broken through to the Soul Emperor realm, he is still just a superhuman at the first stage of the Soul Emperor realm. How could he become a figure of faith?!"
"What kinds of beings have been able to become the basis of faith throughout the history of all races?"
"Gods! Ancient demons! Holy spirits! At the very least, they are demigods who have touched the divine level! What is Ye Ge?! Does he even deserve to be a source of faith?! Are you sure you've got the information wrong?!"
Black Sword's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared out of control, appearing extremely irritable.
Clearly, they cannot accept this fact.
After all, the stronger Ye Ge becomes, the more difficult it will be for him to take revenge.
Sima Qing glanced at him expressionlessly, his gaze indifferent.
Clearly, hatred and anger had completely robbed this person of their reason.
I once heard that Black Sword was a genius that the Evil Nether Clan had only seen once every few hundred years. Not only was he exceptionally strong, but he was also extremely shrewd and calculating, which allowed him to patiently plot for over three hundred years.
However, looking at him now, where can one find any rationality or composure in him? He's just a useless piece of trash blinded by hatred.
Such a useless person would be of little use even if recruited.
However, if the bloodline of the ferocious beast within him is truly pure enough...
"You just said that you are willing to undergo genetic modification using ancient ferocious beast cells, is that right?" Sima Qing asked calmly.
Black Sword turned his head sharply: "Of course!"
“Very good.” Sima Qing said calmly, “But even if you obtain the enhancement of ferocious beast cells, you may not be his match. Don’t forget, Ye Ge was already able to fight against mid-to-low-level Soul Emperors when he was in the Saint Realm. Now he has not only broken through to Soul Emperor, but has also become a ‘faith’. His strength will definitely be a step further, and he may even be close to the top powerhouses of all races.”
Black Sword's cheek twitched. Although he hadn't directly fought Night Song, he had heard many rumors and knew that what Sima Qing said was true.
“However, I do have a way to help you quickly improve your strength,” Sima Qing said.
Black Sword raised an eyebrow: "What method?"
"Come with me." Sima Qing stood up.
He led Karl and Black Sword to a special room in the company's basement. It was a tightly sealed forbidden room with five metal doors made of soul steel from the outside in. Each door was engraved with an ancient sealing array, with complex spell patterns that emitted suffocating energy fluctuations.
"Karara..."
The final sealed door slowly opened, revealing complete darkness inside, from which a cold and eerie aura emanated.
"Roar..."
A deep, violent roar came from the depths of darkness, sending chills down one's spine.
Black Sword frowned: "What was that sound?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Sima Qing led the two deeper into the area.
This was clearly an extremely spacious underground space, and the sound of the three people's footsteps echoed in the empty environment, making them particularly clear.
Finally, they reached the end. Sima Qing raised his hand and turned on the lights in the underground space.
The eerie blue ghost fire lamps suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire space.
Black Sword looked up at the enormous creature before him, his pupils suddenly contracting.
A gigantic undead creature was firmly bound here by hundreds of pitch-black chains!
It was a twisted, writhing mountain of flesh, with the body of a sheep, the face of a human, tiger teeth, and human claws, seemingly forcibly fused together from the remains of countless devoured creatures, exuding a nauseating stench. On the mountain's belly grew a constantly opening and closing mouth and a distorted face, and a pair of murky, violent eyes, located under its armpits, gleamed with a bloodthirsty glint, glaring menacingly at them!
Black Sword's expression changed drastically: "This is...!?"
"An ancient ferocious beast, Taotie." Sima Qing said calmly, "This place is a necromancy sealing chamber with the heaviest yin energy that I specially built, which can imprison undead creatures here."
"During the battle with the Moon Eye Illusion Technique, my soul was severely injured by Night Song's Holy Spirit True Fire. Until my soul is repaired, I probably won't be able to use the Undead Awakening Technique to summon them again."
Sima Qing paused, then turned to look at the black sword: "I am about to launch a war, the largest war of myriad races in tens of millions of years. Ye Ge is naturally one of my targets, but to win this war, we need the power of ferocious beasts."
Black Sword's lips moved slightly: "...So what?" He looked up at the Taotie in front of him, the terrifying aura of the ancient beast causing his body to tremble involuntarily.
He suppressed his fear, pretended to be nonchalant, and tried his best to appear calm.
He is Black Sword, the most outstanding genius of the Evil Nether Clan in three hundred years, and he must not show weakness in front of Sima Qing!
"You have the blood of an ancient ferocious beast flowing through your veins. You should be able to withstand its soul and allow the Taotie to enter your body and become its host."
Sima Qing said, "Once you become the host of Taotie, you will be able to freely use Taotie's power, and your combat strength will even be greater than the undead body I summoned in the Evil Nether Realm before!"
"Roar--!!!!"
Taotie let out an angry roar, and a terrifying necromantic sound enveloped Sima Qing, Karl, and Black Sword. The soul chains binding its body clanged with a piercing clang.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Black Sword gritted his teeth. "This thing is an ancient ferocious beast! If I let it enter my body, won't it slowly devour my consciousness?!"
"Of course I won't let your consciousness be devoured by the Taotie," Sima Qing said calmly. "The Taotie is not obedient to me right now. As you just saw, it's imprisoned here by me and wishes it could devour me alive. If it devours your consciousness, gains your body, and escapes my control, what good will that do me? Don't worry, I will naturally help you control its power."
Upon hearing this, Black Sword hesitated for a moment, recalling the day the Heavenly Star fell into the Underworld City, and all his hard work vanished. His anger instantly overwhelmed his hesitation, and he decisively said, "Alright! Then I'll trust you. But you have to promise me you'll hand Night Song over to me!"
"Of course no problem."
Then, Sima Qing walked up to the black sword.
He reached out and pulled open the black sword's shirt, revealing his pale chest.
