Chapter 55: Chapter 55: You’re Up

"My Lord, I have a request and it’s very important that I complete this reward." said Zixin to Dong Shilin without even greeting him.

"Your gains weren’t small, I’m glad to see that your strength has improved. Tell me, what does my right hand demon need from me?"

Zixin then explained his situation to Shilin and Shilin was surprised by the conditions that Zixin needed to meet in order to continue cultivating the body technique.

"Don’t worry, since you’re my right hand demon, I’ll take care of it for you right now. As for your demon subordinates, they shall wait for you with other demons." said Shilin and a cocoon of roots encased Zixin within it. Without wasting more time, Zixin took out all the dung in his storage ring then activated the 4th Volume of the Primordial Horned Giant Dung Beetle Technique.

Under the guidance of the 4th Volume, Zixin opened his mouth and swallowed the shit one bite at a time and to his surprise, the shit was very delicious and tasty, more delicious than even the taste of children, mind you, Zixin was addicted to child meat. Zixin ate shit for days until he’d eaten all of it. His stomach was bulging from how full he was that he fell asleep and woke up a few days later.

When he woke up, it was like Zixin was possessed by someone because his expression was blank. Not just that, his mouth had changed into two pincers that were sharp and strong. Zixin also put the clothes he was wearing into his storage ring and began to vomit the eaten dung piece by piece and cover himself with it like how beetle larvae cocoon themselves.

The dung looked like it had undergone many refinements because it was beautiful and glowing, not just that, it was also strong, very strong.

Zixin spent many days cocooning himself and fell asleep once the cocoon was complete. After the cocoon was complete, inscriptions drawn all around it glowed and thick white smoke was released inside the cocoon and constantly entered Zixin’s body in a gentle manner.

<It’s interesting right?> said the Nether Tree telepathically.

<The Cocoon or the technique?> asked Gozzl.

<Both. After the inscriptions were activated, I can no longer see what’s happening inside the cocoon, even my special methods of spying aren’t working. Also, this boy’s technique is very mysterious and profound. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.> said the Nether Tree.

<The technique reminds me of "them" but much older.> said Gozzl.

<What, are you certain?!>

<Of course, even though I have a very Low Rank amongst the others, I have met with a few of them by chance in the past. They exude the same feeling to me, an antiquity kind of feeling, like their era has long passed but they still insist on holding on, still insist on going against time.>

<What are you saying, don’t say such dangerous words to me again. I’ve only just been born and still want to live for a very long time. "They" don’t care about us or the Netherworld so watch your words!>

<My apologies, I got carried away for a moment, it won’t happen again, I promise.>

<It better!>

<... Anyway, you’ve felt it too right? They are coming and they are coming in droves. These insects are too weak to do anything to them.>

<I know but worry not. I’ve already called for reinforcements. They will arrive in half a month or in a month. In the meantime, I’ll create a barrier that keeps the strong one’s out and the weak one’s in. Even insects need tempering to grow stronger.>

<I can feel their Desires and it’s very strong Desires. They are not coming here for you or me, they are coming here for him! A Draconic Vampire is still a dragon and those lizards don’t take it lightly when someone or something is Profaning their bloodline. They are going to come in strong and might even destroy this world to get what they want.>

<Then it’ll be your turn to deal with them. If you don’t do your job then you can just give up your status and live a free and carefree life.>

<No ways! I don’t want to be harassed by Noble Class Demons again! It’s the worst! Don’t worry, if push comes to shove, I’ll deal with everything.>

<Great because you’re up! Your "friends" from afar have come to visit. Make sure that no harm comes to this world.>

<So soon... damn it!>

...

In outer space, two figures were standing there and looking at a Small World protected by a greyish barrier.

[Tai, remember our deal. We’ll share the rewards 50-50, afterall, this opportunity is residing on my Plane!]

[Worry not, I won’t go back on my word, once the rewards arrive, I’ll personally deliver half to you.]

[Good.]

The two figures standing in outer space were an old man wearing black robes and a middle aged woman wearing white robes and holding a fan. After their short discussion, the woman grabbed at the air and a massive palm condensed outside the small planet. And it was so massive that the planet it was about to grab was as small as a grain of rice.

The massive palm easily grabbed the planet but the woman didn’t smile in happiness but frowned in confusion and caution. The illusory hand was completely covered in a dust cloud.

[Reveal yourself!] said the woman and waved her fan, clearing the dust but also pushing away many planets. With the dust cleared, the person who just attacked revealed itself and it was a scary looking Sandworm monster many times larger than the two humans.

[Greetings Humans. I would very much appreciate it if you didn’t attack the Small World under my protection. If you want the Demon then send those in the Mortal Shedding Realm or below to deal with the boy or you can wait for a month for my army to arrive then anyone can enter this Small World. What will you choose?] said Gozzl in a scary voice.

[Who are you and why are you hiding in my domain?! How did you even manage to hide in a Small World with your current strength?!]

[I don’t have time for nonsense! Tell me, what will it be, fight now or fight later?!]
