The Black Book

Roar!

The shrill roar that was not like a human voice echoed in the huge empty cave. Zhu Haomiao stood on the edge of the pit like a Gu pot, watching hundreds of people fighting frantically below.

The completely out-of-control anger dominated the soul. People killed each other with the most primitive claws like beasts, and tore the enemy into pieces with the most cruel and bloody means.

The boy's dark retina reflected the sticky blood light that could not be seen in the real world. Under the pollution of his spiritual light, his reason was burned to ashes by anger. The whole valley was like an endless purgatory. Everyone killed, destroyed, and destroyed desperately...

They seemed to be venting the pain of their hearts, and they seemed to be performing some kind of sacrifice, using the blood and life of their enemies and themselves to please the great existence in the dark.

"Blood sacrifice to the blood god, skull sacrifice to the skull seat... What kind of Khorne is this..."

"I am a sunny and cheerful person who is harmless to people and animals..."

"You unruly people always want to do something weird to frame me!"

Mumbling faintly, Zhu Haomiao frowned and looked at the last lucky person standing on the hill of corpses. The blood on his body evaporated and turned into an evil and beautiful red blood flame, "igniting" the whole mountain of corpses.

The blood flames were burning more than ten meters high, and the endless red particles gathered and finally condensed into a drop of golden red blood that emitted high-temperature red light, like liquid metal.

Swish~

With a thought, the blood drop suspended in the air turned into a dazzling red line and instantly poured into Zhu Haomiao's heart.

Plop plop plop~

Intense pain and joy exploded in the depths of the soul, the heart beat wildly at an ultra-high frequency that humans could not have, the body expanded rapidly and uncontrollably, and the chest cavity permeated with dazzling high-energy red light.

Veins burst all over his body, and the blood in the boy's pupils spread at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually covering the entire eyeball.

The originally dark and deep pupils completely disappeared, replaced by a pair of terrifying eye sockets emitting high-temperature red light.

The supernatural and violent sight distorted reality, and even the rocks were melted wherever the sight reached. In just a few dozen seconds, the bottom of the entire pit began to bubble, forming a sticky and rolling magma fire lake.

After a long time, the high-speed beating heart gradually slowed down, and the blood-red flames in Zhu Haomiao's eyes cooled and dissipated little by little. The knotty body that expanded to several meters high quickly shrank and returned to its normal appearance.

Huh~

Exhaling a high-energy flame, the last trace of red light in Zhu Haomiao's chest completely disappeared, and his eyes regained clarity.

Almost at the same time, a mysterious induction touched his soul, and the boy subconsciously looked into the distance.

His sight penetrated the barrier of rock and time and space, and he saw a pyramid top made of twisted corpses, with a small golden mountain suspended in the air, releasing a gorgeous divine light that bewitched people's hearts. Together with the skeleton base below, it formed an evil and sacred weird picture.

"Chaos drives my noble creator."

"I am the crystallization of divine power, divine consciousness and divine love."

"There was no eternal creation before me."

…………

Zhu Haomiao sensed that the secret ceremony on the other side was also completely completed, and subconsciously looked at the [Book of Black].

[Anger]: LV.4→LV.7

[Greed]: LV.4→LV.7

[Strength] +29

[Body] +26 (13×200%)

[Spirit] +31

[Qi] +11

After a careful sense, Zhu Haomiao vaguely realized that compared with the original sin level of the first heaven, the original sin of the second heaven is more difficult to upgrade in the later stage, but it is also more powerful and treacherous...

By analogy, the higher the heavenly position, the difficulty of upgrading the original sin will probably gradually approach the reality!

Nodding thoughtfully, Zhu Haomiao took a last look at the gradually cooling magma fire lake, confirmed that there was nothing left that could harm his reputation, and turned away without any nostalgia.

Walking out of the cave, Yan Yunsheng, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly followed the boy step by step.

"What's wrong? Is it hot?"

Seeing Yan Yunsheng sweating profusely, Zhu Haomiao blinked strangely.

It is the coldest time of the year now, and the whole earth is covered in silver.

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng glanced at the cave that was still blowing out hot air, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Didn't you notice that the snow around the cave has melted?

Although he secretly complained in his heart, Yan Yunsheng still shook his head very considerately.

"Maybe I'm wearing too much..."

"Oh."

Not taking this little thing to heart, Zhu Haomiao changed the subject and began to ask about business.

"Is there anything important to report today?"

Hearing this, Yan Yunsheng's face froze and he nodded solemnly.

"Yes, the Ningguo Duke who fled for fear of crime does not seem to be dead. There is intelligence that a figure suspected of him was found in the southern province and he went out to sea by boat."

"Hmm..."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Haomiao waved his hand nonchalantly.

"He's just a stray dog. When we find him, we'll execute him on the spot. Just give me the result."

"Understood! In addition, the investigation you asked me to do before about the [Transfer Pavilion] seizing your property has made some progress."

"Oh? Which villain is behind me?!"

Zhu Haomiao's eyes lit up, and he raised his mouth with a smile.

"It's the Duke of Ningguo."

"What?"

Zhu Haomiao was slightly stunned, and frowned in confusion.

"That's not right. I had no grudge against him at that time..."

"Well, I'm afraid that Duke Ningguo himself doesn't know about this. This is a decision made by one of his white gloves without authorization, in order to raise funds for the third prince to win people's hearts and minds."

"You are just one of the many victims."

Zhu Haomiao: "…………"

If he hadn't replaced the dead Li Lin, the [Pingyang Marquis's Mansion] would have been quietly wiped out.

With a long sigh, the young man shook his head with a dull look.

"What a bad fate..."

After returning to the imperial capital, Zhu Haomiao went to the [Yanhuang Arsenal] for an inspection as usual, but ran into an unexpected figure.

"Bai Linglong?"

"Well..."

After hiding for a long time, he didn't expect to be bumped into. Bai Linglong nodded awkwardly and embarrassedly.

"Zhu..."

When the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that he had to be called by his position when working, and changed his words with a look of discomfort.

"Commander."

"When did you arrive in the imperial capital?"

As a partner who was qualified to enter the fantasy realm with him, Zhu Haomiao knew the potential of this guy.

He is a high-level [God of Destiny], and will definitely reach the pinnacle of hegemony in the future!

Compared to Huai Xu and others who are on a "business trip" away from home and will return to their "home fantasy domain" sooner or later, she is the tool person she can rely on for a long time... No, a good partner!

Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao couldn't help asking.

"How is your cultivation going? What level are you at?"
