Chapter 897 - 743: The Death of Blood Cicada and the Big Pit!

Chapter 897: Chapter 743: The Death of Blood Cicada and the Big Pit!

It seems he was shocked by the realization that he was a pitiable wretch.

"Haha..."

After being stunned for a while, the Blood Pearl suddenly burst into insane laughter, with tears streaming down his face.

It took him a moment to calm down, and then he said, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Zijia didn’t speak immediately, saying, "You’re actually like a newborn baby who has inherited someone else’s memories, a pitiful child used to escape disaster. Strictly speaking, we have no enmity."

"Heh!" The Blood Cicada gave Wang Zijia a mocking smile.

Wang Zijia spread his hands and said, "I’m speaking the truth. The reason you’ve ended up like this is all because of your original self. Strictly speaking, not only do we have no enmity, but I’ve even done you a favor by avenging you."

The Blood Cicada looked at Wang Zijia coldly, remaining silent.

"Sigh..." Wang Zijia sighed and said, "You see, how despicable your original self was, even letting you inherit enmity—clearly manipulating you!"

The Blood Cicada paused, his gaze still icy as he said with scorn, "Do you really think that if I believed myself to be a new existence, you would let me live?"

"That’s impossible!" Wang Zijia shook his head firmly and said,

"Although we have no grudges, that’s true, and you are controlled by me, but your original self was too cunning, with too many means of survival. I’m really a bit uneasy. If I let you live, the Blood Cicada could make a comeback, so it’s inevitable that I must kill you, and I should do it quickly."

"Heh." The Blood Cicada fell silent once again.

"Actually, I just want to know some things. If you cooperate, you might suffer less. But looking at you, it seems you’re unwilling." Wang Zijia shook his head, resigned, and said, "Well, it’s a bit of a hassle, but so be it!"

In the midst of speaking, he no longer gave the Blood Cicada the chance to speak.

With a thought, he entered the Chaotic Sea of Knowledge of the Blood Cicada.

This was also the reason Wang Zijia found his own methods so powerful. Each Blood Cicada segment had its own Sea of Knowledge!

Although it looked like a large space, like a soap bubble splitting into two, still sticky and connected, not a completely independent entity.

But each Sea of Knowledge, including the vegetative Blood Cicada segment’s, was indeed separate.

Wang Zijia needed to seed a demon into that particular one before he could enter the corresponding sticky area.

And at this moment, Wang Zijia could clearly see that at the center of the many sticky Blood Cicada’s Sea of Knowledge orbs, the most core one belonging to the Blood Cicada itself was melting away.

Such melting was still slowly spreading, and it wouldn’t take long before all the Blood Cicada fragments would melt, ultimately causing the Blood Cicada’s existence to vanish from this world.

This shows how ruthless his methods were!

So, what exactly is the final move of a Rule Life that does not hesitate to destruct all of itself?

With this heavy thought, Wang Zijia did not continue to delay and began to operate.

He still had many experiments to try on the Blood Cicada—time was short.

The Weights in the Sea of Knowledge of the Blood Cicada segment weren’t too many, which was normal since it was a fake intended to block disaster.

Wang Zijia quickly adjusted the other’s memory Weights, exchanged most of the value points, making it lose its own sense of participation, as if detached from it, turning into a movie mode.

He then started the soul search.

"Ahhhh..."

The Blood Cicada howled in agony; its body melting accelerated, but Wang Zijia remained calm as he quickly reviewed and recorded.

In the basement, the Five Ghosts trembled in fear at this scene.

Thinking back to when their own Spiritual Wisdom had been torturously extracted, they subconsciously returned to their old corner, huddling together, fearing they might be next.

Helpless and pitiable!

...

As he browsed, Wang Zijia saw two distinct sets of life memories.

The memories of Qi Chounu were miserable in his early years. He accidentally obtained the last inheritance of a Demon Lord and a strange crystal, which then led him on a rebellious path of killing his father, annihilating his clan, and continuously desecrating Sects with blood.

This was not only cultivation, but also an understanding of that crystal.

Another set belonged to the Evil Cicada consisting mostly of blurry images of battles with fierce beasts. It looked like in the hundreds of lifetimes of the Evil Cicada, it initially lacked reason, resembling a fierce beast or demon.

Only in the last few lifetimes, by chance taken by a Devil Cultivator and refined into a personal Gu, did it begin to understand and become different.

However, these images were also incomplete.

It wasn’t until Qi Chounu’s death and when the Blood-colored crystal revived him, pulling at the Evil Cicada to break through space-time and fuse into a new life: Blood Cicada, and then becoming the Turbid Immortal of Xinghe Valley, did the memories become clear.

Wang Zijia rapidly flipped through, as the Blood Cicada gradually fell into a chaotic consciousness. The already melting Dimension of Knowledge began to break apart.

Wang Zijia didn’t dare to linger any longer and decisively withdrew.

"Pop!"

With a light sound, this sole conscious segment of the Blood Cicada also turned into a pool of Blood Water.

This also marked the complete end of the being that had been entangled with Wang Zijia for so long—its last chance for revival now gone.

"So that’s how it is. No wonder the Balance Scale marked you as a hodgepodge, no wonder our karma is so heavy. It’s more than just a flesh and blood issue—it’s the freaking fusion of enemies!!!"

"What is this nonsense!"

"Aren’t stories supposed to have you fight the small ones before the big ones show up? How come when it’s my turn, it’s not just one enemy but rather a fusion of another, and they team up?"

"That’s just too..."

Wang Zijia cursed and grumbled, his mood somewhat gloomy.

Most of all, from Qi Chounu’s memory, Wang Zijia saw his research on the crystal.

He could confirm that it was a special Tao Fruit, well, half of one.

What deeply troubled Wang Zijia was that the Tao Fruit was fatally attractive to sinners and had a horrific synergy and augmentation with them.

In his memory, Wang Zijia saw Qi Chounu use crystal Dao power to train numerous sinners, and even used it to create terrifying aggregate monsters.

As for the method that Blood Cicada used in the end, Wang Zijia couldn’t find it in his avatar’s memory, but whatever it was that made Blood Cicada shatter itself to employ it, it must have been a deadly trap!!!

That is to say, the one who ultimately swallowed the Tao Fruit must be a super terrifying sinner!

If luring him in was Blood Cicada’s main purpose...

Then Wang Zijia would have a tough time getting that crystal.

It was even possible that after that person refined the Tao Fruit, they would come looking for him just like Qi Chounu did.

Indeed, it was highly likely!

Otherwise, why would Blood Cicada pay such a high price to leave a trap for some outsider to join the feast???

"Damn it, even in death you want to screw me over, what have I done to deserve this!!! You’re ruthless!"

Thinking up to this point, Wang Zijia’s face darkened as he cursed under his breath.

...

He recorded all the information, saving it for later organization.

He then turned his head to start dealing with the remaining Blood Pearl avatars on the altar.

In the corner, the Five Ghosts, who noticed Wang Zijia’s darkening mood, were now trembling.

"Come over, one of you."

At this moment, Wang Zijia, with a dark face and without raising his head, commanded in a deep voice.

The oppressive atmosphere was so intense that even the air seemed to grow heavier.

Upon hearing the command, the Five Ghosts simultaneously shuddered, with the fifth one scrambling into the crowd, on the verge of crying.

Wang Zijia waited for a response without success, stopped what he was doing, and looked directly towards the corner.

Big Baby, with a jolt, approached Wang Zijia with a stammering step, trembling as he greeted with a bow, "Master... Master!"

"Lie down!" Wang Zijia ordered coldly, with not a word of kindness in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Big Baby climbed onto the Bone Altar with shaking legs and almost fell.

Such a cowardly appearance held none of the presence of a Turbid Immortal level Demonic Being!

Wang Zijia grabbed him by the scruff and tossed him onto the Bone Altar.

Big Baby lay on the Bone Altar, not daring to move, body trembling, eyes closed, all in an attitude of utter submission to Wang Zijia’s handling.

"Look at the lot of you, such an embarrassment to your kind, Demonic Beings."

"Useless children," Big Baby responded meekly.

Wang Zijia paid him no more mind, and magical power fluctuations filled the air of the laboratory, as countless runes lit up.

The Blood-Red Book shimmered into existence, floating above the altar, with a world of light orbs swirling atop it.

A powerful force of Sacrifice and Refinement, in cohesion with the Altar, began to refine the remaining Blood Pearls and Blood Water on the altar.

"Whoosh!"

As the Sacrifice and Refinement proceeded, the Blood Pearls and Blood Water instead of diminishing, began to swell, and Wang Zijia could hear waves crashing like the sea.

Space subtly rippled, and the central part of space above the altar was expanded by the Duobao World, preventing the swelling Blood Water from overflowing the altar and flooding the basement.

As the Sacrifice and Refinement continued, all of Blood Cicada’s body was refined and astonishingly transformed into a surging Blood Sea of several tens of millions of cubic meters!

This Blood Sea was the body of Blood Cicada, or rather, the matter that constituted Blood Cicada.

The next moment, the altar powered up again, and the Duobao World also started to spin.

This time, rather than swelling, the Blood Sea began to thicken, bits of blood-colored brilliance drifted out, converging before Wang Zijia.

Relieved, Wang Zijia watched these sparkles of light.

They were the origin of Blood Cicada, his Dao rules!

It was a good thing they could be extracted; otherwise, he would have had to drink all that stuff down!

Even though Wang Zijia could handle a lot, it would probably be overwhelming!

...

After an unknown amount of time, when the expanding Blood Sea had dried into a paste-like blood mud and no more golden brilliance emanated from it, Wang Zijia ceased the refinement.

Before him, there was now a chicken egg-sized glowing orb.

Looking at the orb of origin, Wang Zijia reached out and a light spot was extracted and introduced into the body of Big Baby who lay on the Altar.

In the Dimension of Knowledge within Big Baby, a Light Point Counterweight slowly emerged.

Counterweight: Rule Life Dao Rule

Status: Incomplete

Value: 34

Description: A miraculous origin birthed by a special Rule Life, influenced by a particular Dao Fruit. This is the core Dao Rule extracted from the split and broken origin.

Indeed, you’re picking up garbage again! But young one, this time this thing is an invaluable treasure for you, capable of supplementing your core Immortal Path!

...

Looking at the Counterweight, and after confirming there were no dangers, Wang Zijia, under the watch of the Five Ghosts swallowing their saliva, decisively swallowed the glowing orb in front of him.
