Eternal Life as False Emperor-Chapter 184 - 151: Evil Ghost Claiming a Life

"What the hell?!"

Zheng Yi was dumbfounded, so shocked that he cursed aloud.

What's going on?

Where is this place?

What am I doing?

One moment I was waiting for Liuu Ling'er, the little loli, to introduce the Immortal Sect to me, and the next moment I was swallowed by her?

Is it true?

Is this world really that dangerous?

"What exactly happened?"

As the perspective changed, Zheng Yi found himself oddly floating in mid-air.

Am I a soul?

Or have I… become a ghost!

From his view, the scene below was clear.

"He" himself was being bitten by Liuu Ling'er.

Of course, that 'him' was Zheng Yi's body.

The body that had lived in this world for twelve years!

Now Liuu Ling'er, no longer resembles the lovely little girl in the white dress.

She had turned into a half-human half-snake monstrosity!

The lower half was human, still wearing the white silk palace dress, with two cute little legs.

Red embroidered shoes adorned her feet, as crimson as blood, alluring and fresh.

While her upper half had turned into a snowy white monstrous python, biting ferociously at his half-body!

A pair of bronze eyes were filled with excitement and madness, even gleaming with a tint of red glow!

Liuu Ling'er clearly wasn't used to eating human flesh regularly, with blood and meat scattered everywhere from her bites.

Her two delicate hands had turned into sharp claws, tearing and biting at the corpse before her, swallowing huge chunks, as if she were devouring the finest food in the world.

"Yummy, yummy, so delicious..."

"Father wasn't wrong, the human race is the most delicious food in the world, truly too tasty!"

"Especially those Human Race Cultivators who have absorbed Spiritual Qi!"

"Yummy yummy..."

Zheng Yi's mouth twitched, now he finally understood what had happened.

This Liuu Ling'er wasn't from any Immortal Sect or Holy Land.

But was a demon!

A Snake Demon!

One that seemed not yet fully grown, but held immense power, a little Snake Demon!

He had been deceived by this loli's adorable and cute appearance, and even fantasized about entering the Immortal Sect under her guidance.

Unexpectedly, what awaited him was the demon's wide mouth!

The Spirit Pool he spent twelve years in wasn't a place to cultivate young disciples for any Immortal Sect.

But a pasture where demons farm humans!

The kind and gentle nannies were actually henchmen aiding the evil!

"Damn it..."

Watching the half-human half-snake Liuu Ling'er tearing into his body, Zheng Yi's eyes were slightly reddened.

The hatred!

Ten years of cultivation, believing he was about to enter the Immortal Sect.

To leisurely seek immortality, roam freely across the world!

Unexpectedly, he ended up being food for demons!

No, not just food.

But...

After-dinner snacks?

Had he worked hard on Body Refinement and Martial Dao just so the demons could have a chewable meal?

Ten years of daily meditation and cultivation, absorbing Spiritual Qi, was it merely to make his flesh tenderer?

Dammit...

Zheng Yi's mindset instantly collapsed.

His spirit became increasingly muddled at this point.

Twelve years in the Spirit Pool, several years in Great Yu, and the modern life of his first lifetime flashed and intertwined in his mind, causing a splitting headache.

And then.

He thought back to his twelve years in Spirit Pool B-7.

One innocent child after another, little girls and boys affectionately calling him brother.

At this moment, they must also be being devoured by other demons.

Hundreds of people in the Spirit Pool, but only a dozen or so had Spirit Roots and could cultivate.

These dozen must be sustenance for other significant demons.

Zheng Yi even imagined, for there to be so many children with Spirit Roots, apart from the abundant Spiritual Qi here, they might all be offspring of other cultivators as well!

He recalled when he first arrived in this world, seeing dozens of pregnant women gathered in a big room giving birth.

A demon farm!

B-7!

That Spirit Pool, no, it should be a pasture of human flesh, sent out at least a thousand human children in these twelve years.

Arranged according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui.

Yi is the second Heavenly Stem, B-7 implies at least seven pastures under Yi.

Let alone Jia, and the ones after Yi like Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, and more!

At least thousands of human children swallowed by demons over ten years.

Considering all the numbers across the ten Heavenly Stems, it means tens of thousands are eaten by demons!

Tens of thousands of human children...

And.

This breeding of human children has gone on in this world for many years...

Thinking of this, Zheng Yi's heart boiled with rage!

While he didn't realize it, his transparent soul started exuding black mist inside him.

In an instant, it flowed all over his body!

Ghost Transformation!

Fierce Ghost!

Twelve years of dreams shattered in a moment.

With a human body, devoured by demons.

Thousands of children became food, becoming sustenance for demons.

In his anger, the resentment grew wildly, and Zheng Yi, in his soul state, actually transformed into a Fierce Ghost!

"Roar!!!"

Silent fury erupted from Zheng Yi's mouth.

At the time of death, he had, after all, cultivated the "Spirit Eating Technique" to the seventh level, belonging to a Qi Cultivation Late-stage Cultivator.

Not only did he possess magical power within his body, but even after death, the Fierce Ghost he transformed into belonged to the category of Resentful Souls and Evil Ghosts.

Innately, he had powerful gifted abilities.

He suddenly charged towards Liuu Ling'er.

His claws extended, immediately transforming into the terrifying Netherworld Ghost Claw, fiercely reaching out to grab Liuu Ling'er.

"Ah woo!"

"So delicious!"

Liuu Ling'er chomped down on the last half of Zheng Yi's head, and even stuck out her tongue to vigorously lick the blood and bone fragments from the ground, all rolled into her mouth, smacking her lips with a look of relish.

"Human children are so tasty, I really want to eat humans every day."

"It's a pity Father King says the human race is scarce now, and the Spirit Pool provides fewer humans each year. Ordinary tribesmen can only share one human among ten members!"

"Such a pity... hehe, luckily I have Father and Mother, or I would be like the others, only able to eat ordinary humans."

Liuu Ling'er reverted to her little girl form, her clothes already torn, the white palace dress had long slipped off her body, revealing large areas of tender, fair skin.

Ignoring the blood covering her, she skipped outside.

"I'll go see if Sister Yinn has eaten; she loves me the most, maybe she'll give me half, since she's eaten so many humans already."

"Hehehe..." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Ah!"

Liuu Ling'er suddenly felt an icy chill sweep through her body, a shiver ran down her spine, as if a pair of icy hands had seized her heart tightly.

It halted her breath for a fleeting moment.

"What ghostly thing is this!"

Liuu Ling'er exclaimed in panic, her big eyes scanning around, yet no one was in sight.

"You devour my flesh, eradicate my people, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

In the void.

The wholly-black Zheng Yi was almost unrecognizable.

Transformed into a mass of black humanoid mist, he clutched at Liuu Ling'er's heart, trying to extinguish her life force.

Most notably, Zheng Yi was overwhelmed with boundless fury at this moment, becoming utterly deranged, his own consciousness slowly vanishing.

What remained was madness and murderous intent!

"Woo woo woo..."

"So cold!"

"So cold!"

"Sister Yinn, Father King..."

Liuu Ling'er started sobbing, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Soon, her body revealed a layer of faint and dense scales, like snake scales, emitting a faint white light.

This was her protective spiritual qi.

Upon contact with these scales, the Evil Ghost transformed by Zheng Yi had an intense reaction, his soul power dissipating, pain coursed through him.

But even so, Zheng Yi paid no heed, only gripping Liuu Ling'er's neck tightly, biting hard to try and kill her.

"Ling'er!"

A tall woman with a perfect oval face and a cold gaze suddenly rushed to Liuu Ling'er's side, supporting her.

"Sister Yinn, I'm so cold..."

"Hmm?"

Liuu Yin'er frowned, her brows furrowing as she carefully examined the pale Liuu Ling'er.

Suddenly she shouted, "What ghost dares intrude on the territory of my Baisu Demon King clan!"

A scorching flame suddenly rose from within Liuu Yin'er.

It transformed into a spiritual light, enveloping Liuu Ling'er.

Immediately.

Zheng Yi's figure was forced out of Liuu Ling'er's body.

"A Fierce Ghost?"

"A human cultivator transformed!"

"It's you!"

Liuu Ling'er also widened her eyes, "Sister Yinn, it's him! The human Spirit Seed I just ate, freshly delivered from Spirit Pool B-7!"

"He's the best-qualified human in this batch from Spirit Pool B, having cultivated to the seventh-layer Qi Cultivation, nearly becoming an 'Immortal Seed'!"

"I think his name is Zheng Yi?"

Liuu Yin'er sneered, "A mere Fierce Ghost dares to cause trouble in the domain of my Baisu Demon King clan?"

"Roar!"

The Fierce Ghost transformed by Zheng Yi roared in anger, charging towards Liuu Ling'er once more.

But Liuu Yin'er waved her hand carelessly, another hot beam of light surged out, forming a cage to lock him in tightly.

The Fierce Ghost continued to roar, trying to escape.

Yet, each time it reached the edges of the fiery cage, the Demon Fire seared it painfully, forcing a retreat.

"Ling'er, you're quite unfortunate."

"The human race claims to be the spirits of all things; when they die, their excessive resentment could transform them into Fierce Ghosts, persistently haunting their killers."

"Take Zheng Yi, for instance, he had cultivated to the seventh-layer Qi Cultivation at just twelve years old, his Spirit Root qualification and Root Bone Comprehension were comparable to some Immortal Seeds, truly a phoenix among men."

"Such individuals, if allowed to mature, would be a great threat to our Demon Race."

"But fortunately, the human race is in decline, becoming mere blood food for our Demon Race, surviving by sacrificing their kin."

Liuu Yin'er tapped Liuu Ling'er on the head, "You little one, didn't you light the Soul Resting Incense, letting him slumber before eating, but just ate him directly?"

"I might have," Liuu Ling'er admitted sheepishly, "I was just in a hurry, but human cultivator flesh is really delicious..."

"Directly consuming human cultivators has a high probability of generating resentment and transforming them into Fierce Ghosts."

"Your luck wasn't too bad this time; the human you consumed only transformed into a Fierce Ghost. If you'd been braver, you could've easily exterminated it; you're just too young."

"If, before his death, you had tortured him in various ways, or let him comprehend the truths of this world, or stimulated him into more intense emotional fluctuations, there's a significant chance of birthing a stronger Ghost."

"Some powerful Ghosts are born with formidable gifts, even I wouldn't be a match for them."

Bai Ling'er raised her head in surprise, "Ah? Sister, you've already cultivated a Demon Core, and there's a newborn Ghost stronger than you?"

"Of course, the human race is the spirits of all things, no one knows what kind of Ghost they'll become after an unjust death..."

"In that case, you'll practice with me from now on, and won't be allowed back in the Spirit Pool until you cultivate a Demon Core!"

Liuu Yin'er waved her hand, and the flame prison suddenly intensified, accompanied by silent screams, causing the Fierce Ghost to disperse into a wisp of green smoke!

"Little one, be careful in the future."

"Humans are delicious, but don't be too greedy..."

"Mmhmm, Sister Yinn, I understand..."
