Chapter 619: Chapter 458: Poison God

The Thunder Spirit Queen had a change of thought.

Originally, she had wanted to take Xu Gu as her concubine.

Looking at it from another angle, she realized that it might actually be a good deal for her.

Even a small profit.

With this thought in mind, she glanced at Xu Gu again.

Her heart trembled.

Attracted by Xu Gu’s handsome appearance, she found herself breathing more rapidly for a moment.

It must be said, a handsome man can be just as deadly to women, as a beautiful woman can be deadly to men!

Maybe even more so!

Of course, she was not a superficial woman.

She had always been chaste.

Mainly, it was Xu Gu’s meticulous mind, his knack for strategizing, extraordinary talent, grand vision, and immense personal charisma that made him seem like a born leader.

His future achievements were boundless.

An absolute superhero.

Plus his ‘overwhelming background’, the Thunder Spirit Queen even felt for a moment that following Xu Gu wouldn’t be inappropriate at all!

“Since that’s the case, let’s go then.” The Thunder Spirit Queen hesitated for a second, her face turning from pale to a bit rosy.

She couldn’t help but laugh with pride in her heart.

“Compete with me? You’ll soon learn what high-end tactics are! The real treasures, you won’t even notice them in front of you!”

The two exchanged a glance and stepped together towards the deeper parts of the palace, into the Secret Realm opened by the power of blood.

The Earth Dragon Envoy and others followed closely behind.

As Xu Gu and the others left for the Secret Realm, Xu Gu raised his hand nonchalantly and crushed the followers of Jade Son and the Divine Son of the Ancient Church, Su Ye.

Screams rang out.

Utterly tragic.

Yet Xu Gu and his companions remained unaffected.

Killing is the underlying theme of this world.

No one is innocent. Who hasn’t killed before?

And those who kill, shall be killed in return!

The strong prevail, the weak do not deserve to live.

“My Lord, please be careful. There are many dangers hidden within this Secret Realm, even I must approach with caution,” The Thunder Spirit Queen said to Xu Gu.

She couldn’t afford not to care.

After signing that pact, for this month, she was essentially Xu Gu’s Car Servant.

If Xu Gu died, so would she.

“I have a clear understanding.” Xu Gu nodded.

His seemingly casual demeanor actually hid his thorough observation of the surroundings and he had already deduced everything to ensure nothing was amiss. Should there be an accident, he would be able to anticipate it.

“Speaking of which, tell me about the origins of this treasury.”

Xu Gu looked ahead and spoke to the Thunder Spirit Queen.

The Secret Realm space connected to the fourth star of the Thunder God’s Relics did not come from the Thunder God himself, but had its own source.

Including the Thunder Spirits.

Their origins were not pure either.

“Long ago, there was an upheaval in this Secret Realm that spewed out a vast amount of life essence and the Power of Laws, and then, this part of the power blended with the blood or power of the Thunder God.

“That is how we were ultimately born.”

The Thunder Spirit Queen hesitated for a moment, seeming to think that this was not much of a secret, she did not hide it and reported it directly.

“However, we are not perfect, we have many imperfections. Because the balance of yin and yang is off, the power from the Thunder God is too abundant, creating flaws, just like the Human Clan.”

She, convinced that Xu Gu was not of the Human Clan and considering the Human Clan to be just a cover for Xu Gu’s true identity, thus spoke without much reservation.

“…”

Xu Gu fell silent for a moment.

It seemed that the entire starry universe knew about the Human Clan’s imperfections.

“So, you’re looking to find the source of the other part of the origin power within your body that might be hidden in the Secret Realm, to balance the two forces within you, to achieve a balance of Yin and Yang, and to make yourself perfect? To become a true Divine-level Divine?”

Xu Gu asked curiously.

“Where is there… Divine-level beings only exist in legends, it is said that it’s the Divine who are Divine-level creatures, and as long as it’s a Divine-level creature, there’s a very high hope of becoming a True God!

“Countless times stronger than Demigod Level! Demigod Level simply has a higher hope of becoming a God, that is, a pseudo-god.” The Thunder Spirit Queen at this moment, on the contrary, becomes modest and says;

“I just want to make myself a true Demigod Level creature.

“The former me was not perfect. Although I was a Demigod Level life form, I was the weakest of the Demigod Level life forms.”

Clearly, there were differences among Demigod Levels.

“Wow.” Xu Gu pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

At the same time, he was actually startled. He hadn’t expected to be somewhat more awesome than he thought.

Moreover, there should be Ranks to ascend beyond Divine-level.

But first, he needs to resolve the defects of being from the Human Clan, and then accumulate enough materials for promotion.

He also wondered what kind of amazing talent would emerge by that time.

“What do you think the Origin should be?” Xu Gu asked.

The Thunder Spirit Queen was just about to answer.

Suddenly,

A creature with a body as black as pitch, like a pool of liquid, and like a special fog, appeared in front of everyone.

It exuded an unimaginable Ominous and Death aura.

It also contained Poisonous qualities; wherever it went, everything Withered, even those incredibly hard golden stones in the Secret Realm that could be forged into A-grade components, directly shattered, turning into mush.

“Be careful!” The Thunder Spirit Queen cried out in alarm: “Such creatures, you can’t kill them, they’re extremely troublesome! I didn’t expect we’d be so unlucky to encounter one so soon.”

As she cried out, she tried to repel it, and then ran away with Xu Gu.

These creatures were very hard to deal with, and you couldn’t kill them; upon encountering them, all you could do was flee.

Because they didn’t seem to be living beings at all.

They’re just a piece of terrifying matter driven by a special consciousness.

Unless the substance dissipates, that special consciousness is not extinguished, it’s impossible to slay the opponent.

But,

Before the Thunder Spirit Queen could finish her worried remark,

Xu Gu’s knife had already been unsheathed.

Where the blade passed, all was silence, split in two without exception.

Including the special creature in front.

And crucially, the Undying Monster that should have been extremely formidable, couldn’t stand up again after being bisected.

“Mediocre.” Xu Gu casually commented.

He’d seen quite a few Undying Monsters.

The ones that left the deepest impression on him were the Undying Monsters from the Death Realm, the Golden Beast and the Kan Turtle were among the Undying Lords.

They were undying because they were special life forms born out of the Rule Authority of ‘Death’ and ‘Life’.

However, the creature before him wasn’t even granted Rule Authority.

“It’s just like a remotely controlled robot. Just cut off the signal,” Xu Gu said it with ease.

Yet the Thunder Spirit Queen’s eyes widened, she looked at Xu Gu with shock.

Don’t you want to hear what you’re saying?

It’s not as simple as you say!

She couldn’t even find that signal, how to cut it off!

What she didn’t know was that the Authority of the [Void] Tao Rules, as the ultimate Rule Authority of aspects such as [Death], [Withering], [Destruction], [Darkness], [Ominous], etc., made it too easy to achieve this.

Fortunately, the Thunder Spirit Queen was gradually getting used to it, getting used to Xu Gu’s defiance of nature; she took a deep breath, her heart excited beyond measure, and answered Xu Gu’s earlier question:

“I speculate that it should be the Poison God! The Poisonous God! It’s a drop of his blood, or an outpouring of some of his Origin Power, that blended with the blood or power of the Thunder God to create us.

“Here, what should be buried is likely the body of the Poison God.”
