Romance Game: Embrace of the Inhuman

Chapter 72 Muddy Spirit Emperor


The scene changes.

A large amount of murky energy washes over Tie Zhen's wounds, and the wound on his abdomen is healing.

Obviously, although this strike was terrifying, it did not completely kill.

Lin Qianxuan appeared slightly surprised. He felt that even the Spiritual Energy Cannon might not be as effective as this arrow in some aspects, yet this arrow couldn't directly kill Tie Zhen; his health bar was indeed quite thick.

The game character, however, did not stop in awe.

Divine Energy surged across his body.

Suddenly, crimson Spirit Swords surged out from within his body.

Unlike attacking with weapons.

Using Supreme Martial Arts, the game character could receive the blessing of the Sound of Destiny from Supreme Martial Arts.

An effect ten times more potent.

Based on what Lin Qianxuan observed from the game character.

This tenfold effect not only applied to cultivation but also to release.

Faster cultivation speed resulted in stronger effects.

When using Supreme Martial Arts to attack, corresponding enhancements also occurred.

For instance, at the moment, the power attached to these Spirit Swords far exceeded imagination.

The Spirit Swords, formed by condensed Divine Energy, seemed almost tangible, with intensely internalized brilliance.

But it didn't end there; the surrounding water vapor condensed and attached itself to the crimson Spirit Swords, adding a trace of translucent edged blades.

Suddenly, the game character pointed forward with the swords.

"Whish, whish, whish~!"

In an instant, the tens of thousands of gathered Spirit Swords all shot forward.

The flying speed of the Spirit Swords was extremely fast. In just a moment, they were already near Tie Zhen.

In the scene, Tie Zhen tried to block, but his arm was instantly shattered into countless pieces, and the storm of blades rolled forward, entering Tie Zhen's body, swiftly tearing everything in front of it to shreds.

Tie Zhen could barely block or resist.

He could only watch as he was utterly torn into nothingness.

[Tie Zhen (Merciful): Murky God... I will return to your embrace.....]

The Spirit Swords circled once and returned to the game character's body.

This slaughter clearly caused substantial losses.

Of the tens of thousands of Spirit Swords, nearly half were gone.

However, for the game character, it was obviously not a big problem; these Spirit Swords were formed by Divine Energy.

He lacked no Divine Energy; under various blessings, he could form a Spirit Sword every second, making these losses completely acceptable.

The towering pillar of smoke still persisted.

There lay a huge cavern.

That was what Gongsun Ying and the others referred to as the Eye of the Murky Energy.

Destroying the array below and completely sealing this Eye of Murky Energy was the key to ending it all.

Before Lin Qianxuan issued the command for the game character to proceed, he hesitated a bit in his heart.

"String of Destiny" had its patterns of play.

According to Lin Qianxuan's summary, courting the main heroine to obtain the blessing of the Sound of Destiny was the only possible way to clear the game.

Now, having only courted one of the female protagonists, he didn't know if he could truly clear the game completely.

But Lin Qianxuan really didn't want to form more romantic ties.

If he could simply court and simply clear the game,

it would be best to avoid any dalliances.

Previously courting Gongsun Ying, he had always maintained an ambiguous stance, rather than straightforwardly playing the male lead card.

Lin Qianxuan was also afraid of losing.

Don't mind him, who used to brag about his endless dimensions of romantic glory while playing games.

But in reality, executing it was very difficult, okay?

He truly didn't have the confidence to be a master of time management.

After slightly calming his mind and collecting his thoughts, Lin Qianxuan tapped out a command line.

(Proceed to the Eye of the Murky Energy to check the situation.)

With the command given, Divine Energy enveloped the game character, and he entered the Eye of the Murky Energy.

The dim murkiness almost obscured all vision, leaving only the red Divine Energy glow.

The game character's body slowly descended, and nothing around could be clearly seen.

(Use the Myriad Forms to absorb the murky energy.)

The Myriad Forms transformed into a crimson lotus, spun once, and instantly absorbed the murky energy within tens of meters around.

While the Myriad Forms directly gained hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Essences.

If absorbing murky energy here, simulating the billions of Spiritual Essences needed for the Qiankun Cauldron wouldn't be an issue at all.

Once the murky energy was cleared, the surrounding scenery was completely revealed.

It was also clearly a grand hall.

However, countless black blood-flesh tissues had spread through it.

The ground, walls, and bookshelves were all entwined with those blood-flesh tissues.

A path lay ahead.

Lin Qianxuan directed the game character to follow this path forward.

Not long after, a desk and a massive imperial chair appeared before the game character's eyes.

On that desk, there was a fist-sized Seal pressing down on a golden scroll that looked like cloth.

Lin Qianxuan directed the game character to step forward and then saw the words written on it.

It was a succession Holy Decree, stating that Emperor Feng passed the throne to Crown Prince Qi Si.

"Emperor Feng passed the throne to the Crown Prince? He wasn't transformed into an eternal being? Why do this?"

Lin Qianxuan was puzzled, and then he noticed cracks covering the Seal on the desk.

Curious, he directed the game character to pick it up.

(Picking up the seal for examination.)

The game character picked up the seal and held it in his hand, and Lin Qianxuan saw the close-up shot.

This thing has many cracks, looking as if it has suffered a severe internal blow.

"Could this be a Divine Machine?" Lin Qianxuan suddenly said.

The technology of Divine Machines is used everywhere in this world, so there is no reason this seal is an ordinary object.

(Use the simulation to replicate this seal.)

[You attempted to use the simulation to replicate the seal, but you failed; the amount of Spiritual Essence you possess is far from sufficient.]

"Huh?"

Lin Qianxuan raised an eyebrow. Previously, when simulating the Qiankun Cauldron, it didn't seem like there was ever a "far from sufficient" description.

(Ask the simulation how much is lacking.)

[The simulation responds that fifty-two billion nine hundred ninety-nine million six hundred fifty-five Spiritual Essences are needed.]

"Over fifty billion? That's absurd!" Lin Qianxuan exclaimed.

Even within this Eye of Strife, almost completely covered in Strife Energy, the simulation would probably take some time to replicate this thing.

"Needing this many Spiritual Essences, what effect does it have?"

Lin Qianxuan was slightly curious and immediately entered a command.

(Inject Divine Energy into the seal and attempt to activate it.)

[You injected a large amount of Divine Energy into the seal, but it could not absorb or circulate it, as it is completely damaged and no longer has its original function.]

"Knew it!"

Lin Qianxuan wasn't surprised at all.

After all, this clearly looked like a Divine Artifact, and being so ostentatiously placed, it couldn't possibly be functional.

The game character casually threw the seal aside, and Lin Qianxuan continued to let him explore the situation inside.

The game character moved along the path, where more flesh and blood tissues grew, covering the road.

But the amount of Strife Energy here is also astonishingly exaggerated.

Lin Qianxuan took a moment to let the game character check the efficiency of Strife Energy converting into Spiritual Essence, finding that the amount of Spiritual Essence increased by over a million in just one second.

This concentration of Strife Energy is dozens of times greater than outside.

Even the simulation had trouble absorbing it all.

At this point, the game character finally reached the end of the path.

There, a gigantic black rift was seeping out infinite amounts of Strife Energy.

Beside the rift was a person wrapped in countless flesh and blood tissues, his body completely embedded within, vaguely appearing as a middle-aged man.

He seemed to still be alive.

[Qi Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (surprised): Someone actually managed to reach here...]

"Is he Emperor Feng? And he can still communicate?"

Lin Qianxuan intended to engage in dialogue.

[Lin Qianxuan: Are you Emperor Feng?]

[Qi Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (after a moment of silence): It's me, but the current me is no longer entirely myself.]

[Lin Qianxuan (confused): Muddy Spirit Emperor?]

[Qi Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (sighs): That's right. After the Strife Energy entered my body, I managed to retain my consciousness with the Imperial Seal, but the Strife Energy created another self within me. He calls himself the Muddy Spirit Emperor and aims to completely corrupt this world, welcoming the arrival of the Strife God.]

[Lin Qianxuan: How can I put an end to all this?]

[Qi Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (bitter smile): It's too late. The rift connecting to the outside world can't be closed anymore. Strife Energy will endlessly seep out from here, and there's no way to stop it.]

Hearing this, Lin Qianxuan didn't despair.

He thought it was just that Emperor Feng hadn't found a solution himself.

(Activate Eyes of Death and check the Death Mark to completely destroy the Eye of Strife.)

The scene changed, turning gray. The game character's eyes looked at the rift spewing infinite Strife Energy, a red mark appeared on the simulation, and simultaneously, another faint red mark extended along the path outward.

"Can the simulation handle the Eye of Strife? What does the other mark mean?"

Lin Qianxuan, not possessing the Eyes of Death, didn't fully understand the meaning of the Death Mark.

He decided to ask his in-game self.

(Think about what the mark leading to the outside world means.)

[You gave it some thought and have a vague feeling that this mark holds some important significance, but you don't understand it particularly well.]

"Never mind, I'll explore it next time I play. For now, let's try using the simulation to see."

With no clear result, Lin Qianxuan directly instructed the game character to use the simulation.

(Attempt to use the simulation to completely seal the Eye of Strife.)

In the game screen, the game character directly manipulated the simulation to fly towards the huge rift.

The rift was an irregular circle, looking about twenty to thirty meters in diameter. The simulation formed into a red lotus, spinning as it flew towards it, quickly absorbing the Strife Energy and converting it into stored Spiritual Essence.

[Qi Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (shocked and uncertain): What is this? Such a familiar aura. What is this Divine Machine made of to be able to absorb Strife Energy?]

"Made from your ancestor's Protective Armor."

This line, Emperor Feng naturally couldn't hear.

As the simulation approached directly above the Eye of Strife, suddenly, a dark golden blade flew straight out from within the flesh and blood tissues.

"Shwoo~!"

"Clang~!"

The simulation was struck, knocked into the flesh wall, then swiftly withdrawn by the game character at a gesture, while at the same time, Emperor Feng, embedded in the flesh tissues, had a terrifying set of features twist into a hideous grimace.

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (struggling): No.....get away....I am the owner of this body....]

In his struggling expression, the flesh on Emperor Feng's body twisted and pulsed, veins knotted, beginning the transformation.

In an instant, Emperor Feng transformed completely into a pitch-black, ferociously grimacing humanoid monster.

"Splurt~!"

The black-gold sword sliced through the flesh, and Emperor Feng emerged easily, grasping the blade.

[Muddy Spirit Emperor (looking at you): The Strife God will descend upon this world. Everything between Heaven and Earth will return to corruption.]

"Damn!"
