Chapter 341: Chapter 290: The Evolving Red Robe (Request for Monthly Pass)

"Damaged Divinity (Gold)"

Description: A strand of damaged divinity left behind by a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil, different from the remnants of divinity left behind by mythological beings or fallen incarnations of gods. This divinity contains a large amount of contamination and may be used for setting up mythical rituals? The risk is considerable, and further uses require self-exploration."

Fang You clenched the golden divine radiance in his hand.

This was the second strand of damaged divinity he had acquired; after repairing the first one, he had merged it into the Godslayer weapon, Light Red, unleashing its formidable power.

As for this strand...

"Judging by the description, it’s not as good as normal damaged divinity, but at least it’s equal to an artifact containing divine power."

Every part of a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil was valuable—not only had he extracted this strand of damaged divinity, but he had also collected several Blue and Purple Grade materials from its corpse.

And a high-grade Strange Implement.

"Monster Incubator (Purple)"

"Ability: Inject life energy to incubate Three-Star to Five-Star Mysterious Evils within the ’Monster Incubator.’ The number and level depend on the amount of energy and spiritual strength injected. The incubated monsters are not true Mysterious Evils—they can only exist for a period and can only follow simple commands."

"Side effect: The user will be implanted with a monster’s egg, which if surpassing a critical value, could result in a Mysterious Evil hatching from within the body."

"Tch..."

Fang You frowned.

Just looking at the ability, this Strange Implement was definitely SSR level in Purple Grade; the cream of the crop. It seemed akin to a weakened version of a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil’s monster incubation ability.

And the incubation of a Seven-Star could be called endless. If Fang You prolonged a battle, he might even drown amid an Evil Tide.

Maybe a Seven-Star world-ending Mysterious Evil could naturally create a super tide? That’s likely, and perhaps even on a larger scale, endlessly, until the tide engulfs the entire world.

A weakened version, a very weakened version, if it could create even a minor tide, would still be formidable.

But the side effect was also quite repulsive.

Of course, compared to some side effects that led to instant death, this one seemed mild.

It was indeed a product of a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil.

Let’s see if Lao Wang, my mentor, can mitigate this side effect... no, even if it’s attenuated, having a monster’s egg growing inside is still quite unpleasant. See if the side effect can be transferred; if so, this Strange Implement would truly be supreme.

He gained quite a few materials this trip.

Fang You also gained a rough understanding of his combat prowess, as well as that of Light Red.

—Taking on a mythological level being seemed possible.

If he faced a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil behemoth, akin to a mythological level being, Light Red, focusing on destructive power, would have even more advantages. Of course, facing a true mythological being with numerous tactics and rational thought, it wouldn’t be so easy to say.

This venture was overall smooth... not at all!

The most fundamental goal was still to have An Jianyou control a Seven-Star calamity-level Mysterious Evil, so she could ascend to mythological combat power.

That would raise a third of The Torch’s top combat power.

Now it was so near yet so far.

"Don’t lose heart. If we fail, we fail. When you become mythological level, you could control six or seven, or even eight of them."

"I’m too weak. If I were stronger, I could definitely have done it."

An Jianyou was still somewhat despondent.

Through her description, Fang You basically understood.

The act of control, branding inside the body of Mysterious Evil, was like wrestling. He first crippled the Mysterious Evil, reducing its ’power.’ Thereafter, An Jianyou kept ’dragging’ it. The process initially went quite smoothly, and there was hope. Only at the last moment, the rope of the wrestling... broke.

"This might be because the world-ending Mysterious Evil contained a strand of divinity, undergoing a qualitative change."

"Between Seven Stars and Six Stars, there’s ultimately a chasm-like gap."

However,

An Jianyou was of the Golden Legend potential, her talent already upgraded a notch. With a legendary Strange Implement in hand and meditation skills among various other means to assist, her setup was extremely luxurious.

This whole process indicated that with the body of Six Senses, there was a possibility of commanding Mysterious Evils comparable to mythological beings.

She just needed to be a bit stronger, just a little bit stronger!

And An, my sister, still had significant room for improvement.

"Then, mentor, I’ll try again after I raise my meditation to the master level," she said, biting her lip, not content.

She clearly understood that only by possessing mythological level combat power could she reduce some of her mentor’s pressure and be eligible to cut through the thorns, lighting the torch on the dark path ahead.

But a breakthrough in meditation to a new level?

That would be too minor an improvement, and another attempt would likely still be difficult; eating another backlash at that time.

Watching An Jianyou, who was still quite weak, Fang You shook his head, "Don’t rush, increase your strength over a few more days, making sure you’re better prepared before trying again."

"But..."

"No buts. Plus, calamity-level Mysterious Evils are hard to find; we might have encountered the only one in the shallow realms."

Her spirit deflated upon hearing that.

She couldn’t muster her stubbornness anymore.

Fang You wasn’t lying; Seven-Star Mysterious Evils were extremely rare. Discovering this one involved luck. To capture a Seven-Star calamity-level Mysterious Evil, the most reliable method was to dive deep into the Ghastly Realm, into those dangerously unknown lands.

"However, the Seven-Star Mysterious Evils are divinity-imbued beings; even in the deeper layers, they wouldn’t be easy to find."

"You either can’t find them, or when you do, you might end up in the lair of an even more dangerous being."

"In the future, when An Jianyou ascends to the Seven Senses as a mythological being, it’s certain she could contract with Seven-Star Mysterious Evils, at least a few of them. But the difficulty then won’t be how to brand them, it will be how to find them... Let alone finding SSR or SR levels among Seven-Star Mysterious Evils, finding a single Seven-Star will not be easy."

That’s the flaw of the Ghastly-Taming Path!

Well, it could hardly be said to count, at most he had gone from cheat-level to minor cheat-level.

As his thoughts drifted, the two didn’t head back to Blue Star. The hundred-eyed flying fish continued to aimlessly glide through the air, and suddenly, it came to an abrupt halt. An Jianyou directed her gaze towards a certain direction, her eyes blazing.

"There’s a Mysterious Evil!"

"It seems to be a Six-Star Mysterious Evil of rare kind!"

This was the first time An Jianyou had ever seen a Calamity Grade rare Mysterious Evil.

The highest grade rare Mysterious Evil in her team up till now was a strange laughing puppet, but it was not of Four-Star level, rather it was another Five-Star level one she had captured.

Six-Star, she had always wanted to capture those rare ones that could be used in more fighting environments.

But she had never encountered one.

Seeing An Jianyou’s keen interest, Fang You nodded slightly, "Seven-Star Apocalypse-level Mysterious Evils, let’s wait until we’re well-prepared before we tackle them. Before that, capturing a few Six-Star level Mysterious Evils to augment our strength isn’t a bad idea."

"The rare ones are even more worth capturing."

He said, telling a story with a smile.

"In our recorded compendium of Mysterious Evils, the vast majority have fixed star levels. Even with the Three-Star individuals amongst the Knocking Children, that’s called the Door-Knocking Child King, not Knocking Child. Common Mysterious Evils occasionally have anomalies, but at most, they’re somewhat stronger, nowhere near enough to break through to the next star level."

"But some rare Mysterious Evils, the data recorded on them is quite peculiar. Like your laughing puppet, there are Four-Star and Five-Star levels, but there have also been instances of only Two-Star ones that a certain exploration team came across and destroyed."

"According to rumors from the Great Oasis, these rare Mysterious Evils possess unique self-evolution abilities. It’s alright if you can’t contract a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil, who knows, one day, your laughing puppet might evolve into Seven-Star level by itself."

"There’s also a legend that at the deepest parts of the Ghastly Realm, an indescribable and terrifying existence came into being through the evolution of a certain rare Mysterious Evil."

Fang You was just joking.

He wanted to cheer up An Jianyou, who was feeling down. As a boss, caring for his top-performing employee was a must.

However, An Jianyou seemed to be listening rather seriously. She couldn’t possibly believe it, could she?

How could she believe such a far-fetched theory of evolution!

Cough, cough, nevertheless, it’s possible that rare Mysterious Evils have the ’breakthrough’ ability. It’s just that the time scale might be in tens or hundreds of years. If by that time An Jianyou hasn’t surpassed Six Senses, then it’s on him, the boss, for not being an effective cheater.

One dared to say.

One dared to listen.

Seeing the fighting spirit reignited in ’Sister’ An, Fang You also regarded the legend as true.

All the while they talked, they soon arrived at the destination, and the targeted Mysterious Evil came into view... without needing a reminder from An Jianyou, he noticed it too!

It was just a bit odd.

Rare Mysterious Evils, ’petite’ in stature, typically have strong concealment abilities and are the assassins among Mysterious Evils.

This one in front of them was indeed small in size, but as for concealment? It seemed totally inverted. Its bright red figure in the Mysterious Evils’ dominantly ’black’ and ’gray’ hues was just too conspicuous.

It was clad in red!

The features were indistinct, and it seemed about the height of an average person. At a glance, it resembled a human Awakener, but humans, minions of the Evil Gods, and Mysterious Evils are different. That aura, anyone with a bit of experience could distinguish it.

And this red-clad Mysterious Evil unexpectedly did not conceal its aura, letting it roll out unrestrained.

There were rational assaults coming to the ears.

An even more direct evidence was...

"Red-clad Mysterious Evil (Six-Star)"

"Compendium completeness: 10%, information updates in real-time upon contact."

The compendium had already displayed.

The red-clad Mysterious Evil also noticed their arrival, and its entire body distorted and lengthened, the red skirt billowing in the wind, growing dozens of meters tall in a moment.

But Fang You was faster, as the Thunder Light Big Handprint had already been unleashed.

The brilliant Thunderbolt covered the red waterfall-like skirt, the thunder and red shadow colliding with loud explosions. The next moment, from between the fingers of the big handprint, countless blood-like red ribbons spread out.

Fang You: "???"

The mighty Thunder Light Big Handprint, a secret technique created by fusion by his mentor, wasn’t supposed to fail against a mere Six-Star Mysterious Evil, let alone a Seven-Star Apocalypse-level one!

Impossible!

He was the invincible Six Senses!

Fang You clenched his right hand tightly, and the remote hundred-meter giant Thunder Light Big Handprint released an even more dazzling light, pressing forward.

But it couldn’t move.

The red ribbons continued to seep out, attacking like giant pythons.

"Something’s not right."

"There’s something very wrong!"

This definitely wasn’t because his mentor Fang was weak or the Thunder Light Big Handprint was lacking, it was that this Six-Star Mysterious Evil had a big problem! A really big problem!

It...

As the battle continued, the mentor seemed to be at a disadvantage, but certainly, this was to fully ascertain the data of this red-clad Mysterious Evil.

An Jianyou understood perfectly.

Her eyes were fixed intently as well, for she too noticed something was off about this Mysterious Evil—it was much too powerful to be just a Six-Star Calamity Level.

If she hadn’t just faced a Seven-Star Mysterious Evil and known the horror of the Seven-Star level, she might have thought this was a Seven-Star Apocalypse-level Mysterious Evil.

And as the battle deepened, with both sets of eyes watching, the compendium’s data on the red-clad Mysterious Evil also kept updating.

This Mysterious Evil it...

It was evolving towards Seven Stars!
