The sky … was a void. Countless bolts of lightning seemed to be flashing all the time. Sometimes, they would form a huge net, causing the entire world to tremble amidst the violent rumbles.
The earth … was the same!
There was no soil, no mountains, no vegetation. There was only endless nothingness!
Whether it was above, below, or in all directions, there was nothing but lightning and nothingness. It was like a bottomless abyss that was everywhere.
But I … still liked to call this place a tomb. The only time my foolish third master was smart was when he agreed with me on this point.
Because of this, although he was very foolish, I still reluctantly allowed him to obtain my power. But he didn't know that the reason I called this place a tomb was because I was buried here. Or more accurately, I … was born here!
I don't remember when I gained consciousness. I also don't know when, but I could sense my surroundings. In this void tomb, perhaps there were other life forms like me, but the moment I was born, they all trembled.
Perhaps they were afraid of me.
But they shouldn't be afraid, because food … doesn't need to have emotional fluctuations. Perhaps the meaning of their existence was to become nutrients for me when I was hungry.
When you're hungry, you have to eat. This was what my fourth master often said. Every time I recalled it, I felt that it made sense.
So even though they were disgusting to eat and their bodies were hard, making me uncomfortable to eat, in the end, I still found a way to make me like them. That was to crush them and slowly taste them like small pieces.
This way of eating continued until my eighth master, but he didn't like it and tried to stop me many times. So, I simply ate him as well.
I'm old … so my memories will always be guided by twigs. Let's continue talking about my favorite food.
What I liked to eat the most was their souls. They were very delicious. I was so infatuated that I sometimes forgot to sleep and was immersed in the state of eating. Even if I wasn't hungry anymore, I still couldn't help but enjoy the pleasure of eating their souls.
In my memories, ever since I was born, there would occasionally be some resistance among my food. They didn't seem to want to be devoured by me. Every time I came across such food, I would be especially happy … According to my seventh master, that wasn't happiness, but bloodthirstiness and cruelty.
Because I enjoyed torturing them to my heart's content, making them struggle and fall into despair again and again until their entire body emitted a scent that made me infatuated. Then, I would bite them one bite at a time, making them feel the pain of their bodies being bitten until they wailed and died.
But unfortunately, until I met my thirteenth master, I didn't meet anyone who could last for more than three days. This made me miss my thirteenth master very much, and I also regretted that I actually sucked her dry in a fit of madness.
But it didn't matter. Since I was able to suck her dry, it meant that she wasn't the master I had been waiting for.
I don't remember clearly when. Perhaps it was the moment I was born, but there seemed to be a voice telling me to wait for someone. I didn't know who that person was, but I knew that … this was probably my destiny.
But waiting wasn't my personality. So, one day, when I almost finished all the food in the tomb, I wanted to leave this place. I wanted to go to the outside world to find new food … More accurately, I wanted to find new resistance and struggle. But I wouldn't say that out loud. If someone asked me in the future, I would tell them that I left the tomb because I wanted to find my master.
A master that I didn't know who he was.
"So, I spread out my aura and guided the countless wills outside to sense me. Just like that, one day … a person came to the tomb.
It was an old man whose life gave off a sense of decay. I didn't like him because I thought that he was a lunatic. Otherwise … after he saw me and caught me, he was so scared that he froze on the spot. Then, he looked up to the sky and laughed. He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He laughed so hard that his body trembled. It was as if he was extremely excited, and he even shouted some strange words.
"I've finally found it. The torture and injustice that I, Tu Ling, have suffered in my life, I will definitely make you suffer a hundred, a thousand times more.
I was annoyed. So, I … swallowed this lunatic.
So, my first master was gone.
I often thought that the masters after me were swallowed by me for various reasons. Was it because when I swallowed my first master, I felt that his soul was much more delicious than other food?
No matter what the answer was, I was soon led to another existence. It was a young girl who smelled sweet. I liked her a lot and wanted to leave with her. However, when she saw me, her expression changed to one of shock. She turned around and ran away …
So, I, who was humiliated, swallowed her too.
Now that I think about it, I was too impatient back then. I shouldn't have devoured them so quickly. After that, no other existences came for a long time. As a result, I was starved for quite a long time.
Just as I was about to faint from hunger, someone finally came. It was a middle-aged man who was filled with resentment and coldness. There was also the aura of death around him. When he came to my side, he was also stunned, delighted, and mad. It made me think that he was an idiot. Just as I was about to devour him, he said, "I'm going to eat you."
"No wonder this place is listed as one of the Three Forbidden Lands. In this tomb-like abyss, a forbidden weapon was born!"
That was when I learned about the word 'tomb'. I fell in love with it. Maybe it was because of this, or maybe it was because I was afraid that if I continued to wait, I would starve to death. So, I reluctantly let this stupid third master pull me out of the abyss!
Yes, I … was a forbidden weapon born in this universe, in one of the Three Forbidden Lands, in the abyss!
I was a saber that was completely black and looked like a dragon's fang!
And after I was brought out of the Abyss by that foolish third master, my life … began to change. Because my master was a bloodthirsty killer, after helping him kill and devour countless others, I felt that he was a little weak, so in order to better assist him, I made a request of him.
"Every day, use me to kill ten million living things!"
So, on the second day, my stupid third master didn't fulfill my request. He was swallowed by me.
Then, very soon, my fourth master appeared. I recognized one thing about him, because he liked to eat, and ate everything. I thought that we would get along very well, but one day, when he thought of eating me while I was napping, he acted on it, and I instinctively swallowed him. I regretfully lost him.
"But that doesn't matter. What I don't lack the most is masters. I look forward to my fifth master, sixth master, seventh master, all the way up to the 7,546th master …. Over the course of ten thousand years, they have all appeared.
There were men and women, old and young. There were many races, but without exception, they were all devoured by me. It was also because of this that I got another name.
Ominous Soldier of Resentment!
Perhaps it's because I've devoured my master, or perhaps it's because I've killed so many people in my life that I've accumulated the boundless resentment of countless living beings …. Because of that, my new name quickly gained the approval of everyone.
However, I didn't like this name because I always thought that I was just a small knife that wanted to find its true master. If the other party didn't come looking for me, then I could only search for it myself. And in the process of searching, those previous masters who deceived me and led me astray were devoured by me. That was just my respect for the true master.
I was pure.
These four words were what I said when I met a new master many years later and was questioned by him.
My new master was a young girl, a very beautiful young girl dressed in palace attire. When she walked over, the smell of her body was very fragrant and sweet.
In my heart, I thought that she must be very delicious.
