Chapter 3266: Chapter 3286: Immortal Monarch, are you there?

When the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch awoke from a stupor, devoid of her five senses, the first thing that came into view was the pitch-black cave ceiling.

Glancing around, all the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch could see were the dark, hard stone walls.

This was an immensely large stone cave, but whether it was located inside a mountain or underground, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch could not determine.

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s first reaction was to confirm whether her strength remained intact; the result was self-evident, causing her heart to sink to the bottom of the valley.

Both her Sea of Knowledge and her meridians were sealed; she was now like a robust Ordinary person — not to mention escaping, she couldn’t even break through those hard cliffs.

“Awake now, how do you feel?”

A charming and flirtatious voice rang out, echoing in the Mountain cave, becoming increasingly enchanting.

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s eyes narrowed as she turned around and saw the seductive figure of Lord Charm Erosion approaching from the distant darkness, the overwhelmingly beautiful face becoming clearer and captivating.

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch composed herself and calmly said, “I feel terrible. Who would want to be a captured prisoner?”

Lord Charm Erosion appeared before the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and with a casual wave, a spacious Chair made of Purple Crystal materialized on the ground, mysterious and splendid, clearly a rare treasure.

Lord Charm Erosion sat down gently, resting her elbow on the armrest and propping up her chin, her watery eyes fixed intently on the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch.

“So, do you wish to die, or do you want to live?”

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was silent for two seconds: “I want to live, but if I have to be at your beck and call like a dog, you might as well kill me. Even if you don’t, once I escape, my master will execute me by his own hand.”

Lord Charm Erosion smiled sweetly, “If you submit to me, you will be mine, and I won’t let anyone kill you. Even if he is your master, even if he is the Immortal Emperor, it won’t happen.”

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch inquired, “What must I do?”

Lord Charm Erosion extended a slender finger and pointed to the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s heart: “You just need to be my good little doggy. In short, do whatever I tell you to do, and as long as you obey, you will be safe and sound; even if your master and they all die, you won’t.”

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch gritted her teeth and asked, “You won’t corrupt my body?”

Lord Charm Erosion chuckled playfully: “Your Flesh Suit is quite appealing. If it were corrupted, it would become unsightly, just like those ugly creatures outside, and that I couldn’t bear to see…”

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch breathed a sigh of relief; to be corrupted into that horrifying state was unthinkable, not only to Others but even to myself.

If I had to continue existing in that form, it would be better to embrace death, to prevent my soul from being tormented day and night.

“How will you control me? Surely you won’t just take me at my word if I say I submit, would you?”

“Clever!”

Lord Charm Erosion’s slender fingertips stretched forward slightly, gently touching the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s chest.

“I will inject something into your heart. Should you stray far from me, it will begin to corrupt outward, and your body will slowly transform into the very Monster Beast you dread. So, if you wish to live, you better stay close to me, be my obedient dog.”

“Don’t worry, even your Primordial Spirit won’t be able to escape. If your Primordial Spirit tries to flee, it will also be corrupted!”

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s heart trembled, silent for a few seconds: “I need some time to think.”

Lord Charm Erosion let out a silvery, light laugh: “Certainly, I’ll give you one day to ponder. During this day, you can try to escape. If you somehow manage to, consider it your good fortune. But after a day, if you still refuse to submit, don’t blame me for being inhospitable. I will corrupt your body, a Demon will take up residence within you, manipulate you, and you will become a true Demon.”

“I will leave you with a bit of sanity, so that you can fully experience what it feels like when your own body is out of your control, killing your own kin. Think it through clearly, because once you regret it later, it will be too late. Once you’re corrupted, even I have no means to save you.”

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said in a deep voice, “Where is this place?”

Lord Charm Erosion replied, “This is the world of demons, cut off from the outside world. Even your master, the Immortal Emperor, wouldn’t be able to sense your location here. So don’t hold out hope for anyone to come rescue you.”

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch bit his teeth, “Alright, one day, I will give it serious thought.”

“Attempting to escape, aren’t you?”

Lord Charm Erosion smiled sweetly, “Then do try your best, I will enjoy watching it slowly.”

Lord Charm Erosion stood up, turned, and drifted away, while the radiant, colorful purple crystal chair stayed where it was.

After watching Lord Charm Erosion disappear, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch took a deep breath, sat down in the chair, covered his face with his hands, rubbed his face fiercely, then leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

After calming down for a while, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s face regained its composure, he opened his eyes and started to carefully examine the chair in front of him.

The chair, made entirely of purple crystals, shone brilliantly and was exceptionally beautiful. Even though Seven-colored Immortal Monarch could not use his spiritual power at the moment, he could still feel that each purple crystal contained a tremendous amount of energy.

It was an extravagant use of so many purple crystals just to construct this chair!

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch tapped it lightly, producing a clear, tinkling sound. The purple crystals were incredibly hard and naturally not something he could damage at the moment.

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch gave up on further examining, stood up, and began to walk towards the vast passage leading out of the cave.

There were no guards along the way, and Seven-colored Immortal Monarch made his way unimpeded along the passage.

Initially, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch thought he would come to a dead end with a sealed gate or guarded by guards, but as light appeared in front of him and he walked into the brightness, he still hadn’t seen any demons.

The scene before Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s eyes suddenly opened up. He was now at the top of a high mountain, a mountain so tall its height was unknown, covered in clusters of purple crystals, like sharp spears jutting out from the ground, flickering with intimidating cold light.

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch currently stood at an opening at the peak of the mountain. This opening had smoothest surroundings and underneath was a precipice of unfathomable depth. He leaned over to take a look down, his face a mask of complex emotions.

Would a fall be lethal?

No!

Though his spiritual power was sealed, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s body was at the pinnacle of an immortal’s, incredibly powerful. Even if he were to fall from tens of thousands of meters, he would certainly be unharmed.

The height was not the issue, but the ground below was a swamp-like expanse of black mud pits, within which roiled a black substance that looked eerily familiar. Wasn’t this similar to the black clay-like stuff that coated those demons?

Unable to fly, would he end up plunged into the mud pits and become corrupted?

To jump or not to jump?

Or should he try to scale the cliff face?

Even if he could climb down from this altitude and avoid a plunge into the mud pits, would such an act be of any use?

Lord Charm Erosion was probably hiding somewhere watching him make a fool of himself.

As Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was contemplating, a clear voice suddenly rang in his mind.

“Immortal Monarch! Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, are you there?”
