Chapter 843: Chapter 542: The Moon God’s Lonely Search for a Male Courtesan, Source Sea Demon Dog Devours All
A seemingly absurd transaction was naturally spoken by the rabbit demon, who resembled an alien fairy.
"You pave the way, and I give you a hundred clansmen as servants..." Sell your kin so easily?
The same bloodline, and yet not a shred of warmth among them?
This trade left many feeling shocked and incredulous.
Then again, given they are the Clan of the Evil God from the Outer Realm, such cruelty is to be expected.
These "female rabbit people" in front of us are indeed useful.
Each rabbit demon, having refined the Supplementing Moon Technique, is a rare beauty in the world, adding to the charm of their non-human race, making it unsurprising that the leading rabbit demon claimed that Human Clan Cultivators favor the service of the Rabbit-man Clan.
The rabbit immortals trained in the Herbal Crushing Technique, although somewhat fierce in appearance, each is adept at alchemy and pill crafting; who wouldn’t want to gather a few for their allies?
What’s more, their cultivation is quite formidable.
Gaining one hundred rabbit people, you could immediately form a medium-sized sect force.
The cost? Simply paving the way.
To the leading rabbit demon, this condition was excellent, and this peculiar Human Clan Cultivator couldn’t possibly refuse.
Unfortunately, this rabbit demon couldn’t have known that Master Tao was guarding for his lady.
Faced with even the most powerful beings, like the Heavenly King, much less a herd of rabbits, he would not yield.
Moreover, the blatant malevolence of these rabbit demons toward his lady angered Tao Qian, whose eyes revealed growing killing intent, making him retort with a sneering laugh:
"You little rabbits practicing the Herbal Crushing Technique and the refining and replenishing, dare to challenge me?"
"Come, bear my True Fire of Suppressing Evil first, then speak of compelling me to give way."
For entities beyond salvation like these evil spirits, Tao Qian always has little patience.
This group of rabbit people belongs to such a category.
Thus upon finishing his words, Tao Qian opened his mouth and spewed out the terrifying True Fire at over ten thousand rabbit people, rabbit immortals, and rabbit demons.
Even though these Rabbit-man Clan members didn’t expect this Human Clan Cultivator to attack so abruptly, as the Moon God’s Clan, they roamed outside, gathering medicinal leads and absorbing essences, naturally wielding formidable means.
They shrieked sharply at first, collectively unleashing a Divine Skill called [Xuan Yin Soul Destruction Sound], whose power was potent but instantly cut off by the Shocking God Bell.
Simultaneously, they brandished extraordinary weapons like Herbal Crushing Pestles, horsetail whisks, Jade Hoes, while those rabbit people not yet transformed, invoked the name of the Moon God to manifest robust, powerful Dharma Bodies, resembling an alien species army charging at Tao Qian.
Had their opponent been other Human Clan Cultivators.
Even if from the Ultimate Happiness Realm, realistically they could delay for a while.
Regrettably, this time they faced Tao Qian.
A mouthful of True Fire of Suppressing Evil was refined using the secret True Fire technique and Outer Heaven Flame Essence, initially gray and indistinct, like ash and smoke, seemingly unimpressive, misleading one to believe it lacked power.
Yet it harbors a million well-tempered Flame Essences inside, with nothing in or outside the realm it cannot burn.
If one knows how to evade, there is a chance to survive.
But choosing to resist ignorantly invites certain death.
This unfortunate group of rabbits, infamous in the Great Abyss for their reliance on allies, misjudged this time, and swiftly met their demise.
Watching the gray wisp of flame flutter over the rabbit crowd.
In an instant, the shrieks ceased.
Whether adorned in silk attire or remarkably robust, they turned first into oil-red roasted rabbits, then into charred black chunks, finally swept away by the Source Qi Tide, vanishing into dust.
Yet before the ashes dispersed, a sudden divine light flickered within, birthing a snow-white, fluffy Snow Jade Rabbit.
Unlike the sinister rabbit immortals or demons, this snow rabbit appeared naive and innocent, adorably refined.
But this image was soon shattered by its own doing.
The snow rabbit bounced forward to the Treasure Boat, suddenly stood upright, its body expanded, and that fluffy "rabbit fur" was torn off with a ripping sound, amid the twisting of flesh and bones, a sticky Human Clan maiden emerged, her body graceful, alluring beyond measure, half-hidden, further enhancing her charm.
The mucus and blood gradually dried, turning into osmanthus flower markings over her body, an intense fragrance, whether of body or flower, wafted towards Tao Qian’s senses.
Simultaneously, an auspicious cloud appeared beneath the maiden’s feet, transforming into a wide-sleeved robe adorned with immortal Qi.
Sounded a nauseating "ugh," a slurping stream of mucus poured out, revealing an elixir the size of a baby’s brain, taken from her parted lips.
Witnessing this scene, one could foresee what follows.
No more than a fairy gifting elixirs, seeking union and alleged blessing scenes, lacking novelty, somewhat stomach-churning.
Sure enough, Tao Qian heard the maiden speak in a rustling voice, reminiscent of rabbits eating grass, a sound inducing hallucinations in ordinary mortals, driving them to wish to be chopped into fodder, thrown into her jagged lips and sharp teeth.
What Tao Qian heard was this:
"I am the Moon God’s daughter, fond of strong ones from the Human Clan; you slew so many rabbits with that True Fire, should become my husband."
"This is the [Elixir of Longevity], consuming one lets you refine the most pure Taiyin Divine Qi within, permitting my entry into Moon God’s Mysterious Realm and Guanghan Palace."
"I like you, and my mother the Moon God will also favor you, we can be joyful and delightful together..."
Amid the rustling noise, this Moon God’s daughter lifted her foot fairer than frost and snow, resembling scallions, intending to step onto Tao Qian’s Treasure Boat, engaging in wild coitus.
As the fairy mentioned "mother and daughter," such scenery indeed was ambiguous and charming.
Yet, suddenly, the scene turned unsightly.
First, the Shocking God Bell displayed disgust, resonating with a sound making even the Evil God uncomfortable, echoing "dong dong dong."
The Miraculous Tree Treasure Boat acted directly; this treasure benefitted from the creations of both Miraculous Tree Great Venerate and Spirit Treasure Sect, its power far from ordinary.
If unwilling, even Tao Qian wouldn’t step onto the boat momentarily, not to mention a wicked rabbit?
The treasure boat only shuddered once, and the Spirit Treasure Immortal Light transformed into countless green vines imprinted with Forbidden Techniques, whipping directly onto the woman’s body, leaving her covered in wounds, her screams unending.
The immortal pill suddenly flew into Tao Qian’s hand, and detailed Record Type immediately burst forth:
[Name: Taiyin Soul Extinguishing Immortal Ascension Elixir.]
[Record Type: Alien.]
[Record: This elixir, also known as the "Elixir of Longevity," originates from the Guanghan Palace in the Great Abyss Secret Realm. Among many life forms in the Source Sea, as well as in all heavens and realms, it is renowned, with countless life forms at the end of their lifespan willing to pay any price for this elixir. Since the Guanghan Palace Secret Realm is hidden deep in the Source Sea, the Moon God often feels lonely, thus her Rabbit God splits into a hundred thousand avatar bodies, either hiding within the body of her descendants or wandering through all heavens, disguised as "Moon God’s daughter" delivering opportunities for the immortal pill, to gather life forms as companions for the mistress.]
[Annotation One: The Elixir recipe was created by the Moon God of the Source Sea, mixing Innate Yin Qi and multiple Yin Attribute Creatures, refining it into a Taiyin Divine Qi.]
[Annotation Two: Refining this elixir causes immediate ascendance and transformation of flesh, extending life by three thousand years.]
[Annotation Three: After taking the pill, one will develop endless admiration for the Moon God and can’t resist the desire to head to the Guanghan Palace Secret Realm... This price may be exempted.]
[Annotation Four: After taking the pill there is a certain chance of being marked by the "Moon God," and a chance of being summoned by the deity for bedtime service... This price cannot be exempted.]
...
"What a Moon God’s daughter!"
"Is she choosing a husband for herself or picking a male courtesan for that blasted Moon God?"
After spitting out these two sentences, Tao Qian didn’t waste more words, showing a face full of disdain and disgust, throwing the Elixir of Longevity back.
The so-called Moon God’s daughter, who intended to seduce him onto the boat, unconsciously caught the immortal pill after being whipped into a state of injuries by the Miraculous Tree Treasure Boat.
Little did she expect that Tao Qian had already "added some ingredients," as ten strands of gray smoky fire Qi emerged from the pill, all of them being True Fire of Suppressing Evil.
The Record indicated that this girl was a Rabbit God’s avatar, though a proper Companion God to an Evil God, she still bore a name.
Even if she was just one out of a hundred thousand avatars, Tao Qian dealt with her cautiously.
Not satisfied with the ambush of True Fire of Suppressing Evil, he quietly prepared other means, ready to unleash a thunderous strike if anything went wrong.
The result, however, was unexpected. Maybe the "Rabbit God" excelled in reproduction rather than combat, and was unprepared for Tao Qian’s Divine Skills, so this somewhat strange and seemingly gentle girl’s avatar, entangled by those ten strands of True Fire of Suppressing Evil, revealed its true form in less than two breaths.
Unexpectedly, it was a jade rabbit as large as a mountain.
Its appearance was fine, but unfortunately, like its group of offspring, it suffered a fire disaster.
The fur, like billions of white jade needles, was incinerated, and as it howled, it cursed Tao Qian with an obscure, hard-to-understand language that seemed to directly impact the soul, a single verse being enough to make one’s head explode.
Once entering Tao Qian’s ears, however, these words materialized:
"Hairless two-legged meat worm!"
"I have remembered your appearance, your scent."
"You can’t escape, you will definitely come to Guanghan Palace, you will definitely come..."
This howl of curses did not last long before fading away.
The previously enchanting body, soft flesh, and tender private parts... all disappeared, transformed into a giant greasy roasted rabbit.
The Power of True Fire of Suppressing Evil naturally wasn’t limited to this; if Tao Qian wished, it would burn to ashes in just a few breaths.
Being roasted into such a state was evidently the perverted taste of Tao Da the Great Master.
Yet it was this perversion that prematurely drew another trouble over.
The fragrance emanating from the giant roasted rabbit naturally permeated every corner, immediately attracting a multitude of Evil Spirit Demons from within the Source Qi Tide.
Shadows of various sizes continually surged forward.
But halfway through, as if they sensed something, they all became agitated, then screamed and scattered.
"Another troublesome big guy coming?"
As this thought arose, the dark Void in front of Tao Qian was torn apart entirely.
Behind countless cracks, churned waves of liquids mixed with starlight and lava, dazzling to behold, yet emitting a gross stench beyond words. Tao Qian had sniffed the scent of [Immortal Fish Dojo] belonging to Li Wanshou, a smell that seemed like all the rotten fish and shrimps in the world piled together, enough to make even an immortal faint.
However, at present, Tao Qian couldn’t compare which was more nauseating.
Quickly, though, he lacked the leisure to ponder over this issue, as the liquid suddenly transformed into dozens of whirlpools, and from each whirlpool, a horrifying monster emerged.
In shape like dogs, the size of millstones, but extremely emaciated, consisting merely of shriveled skin, mottled bones, cracked mouths, and overlapping claws... randomly mixed together. Even while running, these bizarre "thin dogs" constantly transformed, flowed, and emitted malice along with an eternal hunger that could never be satiated to all life forms.
Even Tao Qian, unable to help but frown, revealed a hint of solemnity.
From the first glance, he determined that these abnormal thin dogs were certainly another strange race in the Source Sea, just like those Rabbit-men before.
"Rabbit God’s descendants emerged because of the Doumu lineage, what brought these thin dogs?"
While this thought sparked in Tao Qian’s mind, he suddenly realized the Moon God’s daughter, as large as a mountain, had vanished.
Without sound or trace!
In an instant, disappeared entirely, not even leaving a strand of blood, or a piece of bone fragment behind.
"Devoured entirely?"
"When?"
Tao Qian was taken aback, and in his hands, the Records of Strange Compilations began to rifle through quickly.
Soon, it settled on one page.
Only to see on it, rows of icy, blood-red text described:
"Source Sea Demon Dogs!"
"One of the most unique races in the Great Abyss, not only possessing the Extraordinary Power to swim through the Source Sea, but naturally equipped with teleporting across worlds, transposing themselves, world inversion, devouring all things... and other Divine Skills, these dogs, despite their high intelligence, do not distinguish between good and evil, only gauging the Great Abyss by ’can it be devoured,’ including some Evil Gods and their descendants."
"All Gods and Demons in the Source Sea delight in capturing this dog and taming it as a pet, yet to date, no God Demon is known to have succeeded."
