Chapter 38: New Life
Editor: Henyee Translations
The moonless night should have no light at all.
Bei Wenyao lifted the luminous stone and ran towards the brambles.
Her pursuers were hot on her heels.
Suddenly, there was a glimmer of light among the thorny bushes.
This caused a trace of hope to be reignited in Bei Wenyao's heart.
Under the stimulation of this willpower, her already exhausted body regained some strength.
She ran towards the light without hesitation.
The pursuers saw the light and their hearts tightened.
If there was someone ahead, it was likely that there would be unexpected changes.
The few of them also quickened their pace.
After a long chase, they were about to catch up to Bei Wenyao.
But this patch of thorny undergrowth in front of them had also come to an end.
Passing through the bushes, what appeared before them was a huge pit.
In the pit, silver-colored sparks were flashing.
It was extremely dazzling.
Through the sparks, one could see a black stone throne sitting in the middle of a huge pit.
Countless thorny vines extended out from beneath the throne, circling around the throne and spreading outwards.
From the trajectory of these thorny vines, the thorny forest in the forest had extended from here!
A human-sized egg stood on the throne.
A rhythmic beat came from the egg.
It was like breathing.
Seeing this, everyone held their breaths.
They were afraid of disturbing the life in the egg.
Before they could react.
The rhythm coming from the egg became more and more rapid.
Even the eggshell was trembling.
"Is it hatching?!"
The few people who accidentally barged in were extremely nervous.
Gradually, cracks appeared on the eggshell.
Crisp sounds of cracking rang out.
As the eggshell fell off.
A layer of white fog shrouded the throne.
A humanoid figure with wings on its back and horns on its head appeared in the white fog.
At this moment, a strong wind blew!
A howling gale swept past, swirled around the huge pit and blew away the white fog, revealing the figure's face.
That person glanced over, and a pressure enveloped everyone.
That person was none other than Qi Chen!
"Hah… I finally have a body."
Qi Chen clenched his fists and heaved a sigh of relief.
If he was just an egg, it would be inconvenient to do anything. It was better to have a body.
He opened his status.
[Host: Qi Chen]
[Speed: ?]
[Attack: ?]
[Defense: ?]
The three question marks of the three attributes stunned Qi Chen, who had just broken out of his shell.
"System, what's going on?"
He frowned and asked.
[The host's body is forged from the essence of the Nine Reincarnations Soul Returning Flower and the Black Dragon King, it was then fused with a huge amount of energy. The data is massive and cannot be displayed normally.]
"I see."
Qi Chen's expression softened.
He looked around, and in the light of the sparks, all he could see was a forest of thorns, making it impossible for him to tell where he was.
Fortunately, there were a few people in the distance.
With a thought, Qi Chen flew up into the air and arrived beside those people.
Just as he was about to ask a question, he suddenly smelled a very disgusting aura from four of them.
Qi Chen frowned.
He was now the King of Anti-gods.
It was clearly the first time they had met, but he felt disgusted. This meant that these people had come into contact with the power of God.
"The lackeys of the gods should be executed."
Qi Chen stared coldly at the four people. Before they could react, a huge sword suddenly appeared in Qi Chen's hand.
With a single swing of his sword, he killed all four of them.
Blood splattered on Bei Wenyao's face, scaring the poor girl.
As the King of Anti-gods, Qi Chen not only accepted the power of the anti-gods, but also their memories and mission.
Qi Chen fell silent as he watched the few people that were killed in the most brutal way.
This power is way too strong! There's no way I can control it properly!
He pondered.
In Qi Chen's expectation, these people should have been cleanly decapitated by him with a slash of his sword.
It was not like now where their flesh was messed up.
"Thank you Senior Demon for saving my life."
When she noticed Qi Chen's gaze on her, Bei Wenyao quickly cupped her fists and bowed to express her gratitude.
With this bow.
Things got serious.
Bei Wenyao looked at the naked Qi Chen and blushed.
Noticing this, Qi Chen felt a little awkward.
Qi Chen coughed and turned around.
"About that, do you have any change of clothes?"
Qi Chen could naturally wear the clothes on the bodies of those dead people, but the aura on their bodies made him feel disgusted.
"Yes, yes!"
Bei Wenyao hurriedly took out a neutral-gender robe from her storage ring and passed it to Qi Chen.
"Much thanks."
Seeing that there were clothes, Qi Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly changed into them.
After wearing the clothes, only then did Bei Wenyao dare to raise her head and carefully sized up the demon beast senior who had saved her life.
She saw that this demon beast senior, who looked more like a human, had a handsome and imposing appearance.
The small scales at the corners of his eyes added a few glamorous vibes to him.
The aura on his body was as deep as the ocean and it was breathtaking!
What a handsome senior!
And… and that place is so big…
Bei Wenyao felt her heart beating wildly.
"You're hurt."
Qi Chen raised his eyebrows and pointed at the air with his right hand. An incomparably pure spiritual energy gushed out from his fingertip.
The energy wrapped around Bei Wenyao and penetrated her wounds.
With the nourishment of large amounts of spiritual energy, Bei Wenyao's body was like a withered tree returning to its spring.
New flesh quickly grew.
Bei Wenyao almost couldn't help but cry out at the numbness brought about by the growth of her flesh and blood.
After a moment, the young girl panted heavily, her face flushed.
At this moment, all the wounds on her body had already healed. The clothes that had been pierced by the thorns no longer looked miserable on her body.
Instead, it added some seductiveness.
"I will repay Senior's great kindness!"
Qi Chen's methods shocked Bei Wenyao.
He had not used any healing technique and had instead relied on a large amount of spiritual energy to regenerate her flesh and blood. Just what realm had this mighty figure of the demon clan reached?!
Bei Wenyao couldn't imagine it at all.
"There's no need to repay me."
Qi Chen waved his hand. "Tell me, what's going on with these people?"
"They are all White Lotus Cult's disciples!"
Looking at the corpse on the ground, Bei Wenyao's eyes flashed with coldness. "They are after me today because they want to capture me as a sacrifice to their god."
"Sacrifice to… God!"
After becoming the King of Anti-gods, these words were what Qi Chen hated the most.
Bei Wenyao was shocked when she sensed Qi Chen's violent aura.
She thought she had said something wrong.
After calming down, Qi Chen looked at Bei Wenyao again. "Tell me about this White Lotus Cult."
