Chapter 638 - 637: National Guardian Divine Mosquito! The People’s Guardian Deity of Great Xia
Chapter 638: Chapter 637: National Guardian Divine Mosquito! The People’s Guardian Deity of Great Xia
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi paused, then said, "Right now, the only thing you lack is a higher realm."
"Once you advance to the Divine Realm and have your own Divine Country, you can use the Power of Faith to craft the pieces of your puzzle."
Chu Sheng had an epiphany and didn’t press the issue.
After bidding farewell to Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, his consciousness withdrew from the Primordial Grotto Heaven.
’I’ve plundered everything I could.’
Now, only the corpse of Xuanyuan Changfeng was left.
’This is a genuine Pseudo-Divine Realm corpse!’
’It’s bound to be much more rewarding than those five Ancient God incarnations from Sakura Country!’
Chu Sheng extended his proboscis, aimed for the back of Xuanyuan Changfeng’s head, and plunged it in fiercely.
[God-devouring Needle!]
[Ding! The Host’s skill level is too low. Only a small amount of the Power of Law can be absorbed. Continue absorption?]
Chu Sheng froze, hastily retracting his proboscis.
He looked at his Skills panel.
After his full evolution in Sakura Country, God-devouring Needle had risen to level 40.
It had always been sufficient, so Chu Sheng had never bothered to upgrade it specifically.
He didn’t expect that when faced with a true divine body, he would have trouble absorbing from it.
’I can’t waste such a prime ingredient.’
He glanced at his Evolution Points. With over sixty million remaining, he had more than enough to splurge.
"System, use my Evolution Points and max out God-devouring Needle’s level!"
[Ding! Ten million Evolution Points consumed. God-devouring Needle has been upgraded to Lv. 99.]
"System, can’t you upgrade it any further?"
[Ding! Host’s level is insufficient. God-devouring Needle cannot be upgraded further at this time.]
Although it was stuck at Lv. 99.
But Chu Sheng remembered that when God-devouring Needle had been temporarily boosted to Lv. 99, it could even absorb a Celestial Tribulation.
’Absorbing the corpse of a Pseudo-Divine Realm expert now should be no problem at all.’
Chu Sheng raised his proboscis again, aimed at Xuanyuan Changfeng’s head, and plunged it in violently.
This time, as expected, the process was smooth and unobstructed.
[Ding! A large amount of the Power of Destruction Law has been detected. Auto-absorbing...]
[Ding! A large amount of the Power of Earth Law has been detected. Auto-absorbing...]
[Ding! A trace amount of the Power of Wood Law has been detected. Auto-absorbing...]
[Ding! A trace amount of the Power of Space Law has been detected. Auto-absorbing...]
...
Xuanyuan Changfeng had been in the Emperor Realm for several hundred years and had dabbled in various Powers of Law.
His comprehension was simply deeper when it came to the Destruction Law and the Law of Earth.
And now, all the Powers of Law he had spent his life bitterly cultivating had become Chu Sheng’s "rations."
Chu Sheng drank with great relish.
’My own Power of Law is increasing at a terrifying rate.’
Just as he was getting into the swing of things, he suddenly felt the world spin and a wave of drowsiness wash over him.
The sensation was identical to the one he felt before every full evolution: he was about to enter a forced slumber.
’Damn it, I’m just absorbing a Pseudo-Divine! Why is it forcing me to sleep?!’
Chu Sheng had barely finished his complaint when his vision went black and he lost consciousness completely.
The large black dog beside him was lying on the ground, bored, basking in the sun.
It saw Chu Sheng plunge his proboscis into Xuanyuan Changfeng’s corpse. Before it could stop him, it saw Chu Sheng go rigid and faint.
"Idiot! You’re only in the Emperor Realm and you’re directly absorbing the Qi Blood of a Divine Realm being? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
The large black dog was startled and quickly ran over to carefully inspect Chu Sheng’s condition.
After its inspection, it confirmed that Chu Sheng had only fainted and was in no mortal danger, which allowed it to breathe a sigh of relief.
’This mosquito really is something else. To think it can directly and perfectly convert another’s Qi Blood and Laws into its own.’
’I’ve lived for so many epochs, yet I’ve never seen such a heaven-defying ability.’
The large black dog pondered for a long time but couldn’t make sense of it, so it decided to stop trying.
It lay down beside Chu Sheng and began to stand guard.
「Meanwhile.」
The blood-red barrier of light enveloping all of Kyoto shattered inch by inch and vanished completely the moment Xuanyuan Changfeng died.
Lin Yuehua, Feng Wuji, and Xia Hanshan, the three Emperors who had been desperately attacking the barrier, all stopped in their tracks.
They looked up at the once-again clear sky, sensed the dissipating bloody aura, and immediately realized what had happened.
Xuanyuan Changfeng was dead!
Xia Hanshan stared blankly for a moment, then blurted out, "Is the old chief back?"
He focused his senses for a moment, then shook his head. "No, I don’t sense the old chief’s aura."
Then, his eyes lit up, and he said in joyful surprise, "Could it be the Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor?!"
"In all of Great Xia, besides the old chief, only the Illusion Sea Spirit Emperor would have the strength to kill Xuanyuan Changfeng."
"No, that’s not right either..."
He quickly dismissed his own guess.
"There was no aura of any other expert entering the Xuanyuan estate, was there?"
Xia Hanshan frowned, unable to figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
"How exactly did Xuanyuan Changfeng die?"
Feng Wuji hesitated for a moment before cautiously venturing, "Could it be... that he was killed by the National Guardian Divine Mosquito?"
"Impossible!"
Xia Hanshan rejected the idea without a second thought, his tone firm and decisive.
"How could a mere Emperor Realm mosquito kill a Pseudo-Divine?!"
"That’s absolutely impossible!"
Lin Yuehua also shook her head gently. She too felt it was too absurd.
"But besides the National Guardian Divine Mosquito, there really was no aura of any other powerful expert near the Xuanyuan estate."
Feng Wuji still felt his guess was very likely correct.
"No more guessing," Lin Yuehua said, taking a deep breath. "Let’s go to the Xuanyuan estate and see for ourselves. Then everything will be clear."
With that, she turned to the Military Department general beside her and gave an order.
"Relay my orders: immediately organize personnel to begin recovery efforts. Pacify the populace and treat the injured civilians."
"Yes, ma’am!" The general acknowledged the order and departed.
The trio of Lin Yuehua, Feng Wuji, and Xia Hanshan simultaneously transformed into streaks of light, flying toward the Xuanyuan estate.
In contrast to the confusion and disbelief of the Emperor Realm experts, the thoughts of Kyoto’s ordinary citizens were far simpler.
When they saw the blood-red barrier in the sky disappear, their first thought was that the National Guardian Divine Mosquito must have killed Xuanyuan Changfeng, the man who wanted to perform a blood sacrifice of the entire city!
"Wonderful! The barrier is gone! We’re saved!"
"I knew it! I knew the National Guardian Divine Mosquito would win!"
"I heard that Xuanyuan Changfeng guy had already reached the Pseudo-Divine Realm! That’s even stronger than the Emperor Realm!"
"And in the end, he was still killed by the National Guardian Divine Mosquito!"
"Damn right! The National Guardian Divine Mosquito is the guardian deity of our Great Xia!"
"Who cares if they’re Emperor Realm or Pseudo-Divine? In front of the National Guardian Divine Mosquito, they’re all just watermelons, ready to be split with one chop!"
"When I grow up, I’m going to be just like the National Guardian Divine Mosquito! I’ll beat up bad guys and protect everyone!" a little boy shouted excitedly.
"Thank you, Lord Divine Mosquito, for saving our lives! I will burn incense and pray for you every day from now on!" an old man said, bowing piously in the direction where Chu Sheng was.
"From now on, if anyone dares to say a bad word about the National Guardian Divine Mosquito, they’ll have to answer to me first!"
"Right! The National Guardian Divine Mosquito is mighty!"
"Long live the National Guardian Divine Mosquito!"
Cheers from the heart once again echoed throughout Kyoto.
Countless citizens spontaneously poured into the streets, cheering and celebrating their survival.
And at that moment, the four words "National Guardian Divine Mosquito" were deeply seared into the hearts of every person in Kyoto.
Becoming, in their hearts, an irreplaceable guardian deity!!!
