Li Yao frowned. Looking at Dongfang Renxin's panicked and shameless face, he finally couldn't help but ask, "You are still tempting me with such a shameless approach when you are about to be killed? In order to make yourself stronger and more vigorous, you are not even letting go of the heroes who are fighting valiantly on the battlefield who are heavily wounded. Do you not feel that your approach is inappropriate at all? "
Bulging his eyes, Dongfang Renxin chuckled from the depths of his throat. Illuminated by the dim lights, there was no telling whether he looked like a transcendent Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator or a ferocious animal. He shouted desperately, "Inappropriate? What's inappropriate about it? The path of nature is to take away what is insufficient and make up for what is in excess. Only the strong can break the barrier of evolution!
"You and I are both in the Divinity Transformation Stage. Excellent people like us are the pillars of our families, our country, and the hope of the civilization of mankind!
"If we keep ourselves at the peak level, we can do a lot of things and make great contributions to the country and the civilization! How many enemies can you kill with such a high combat ability? How many lives can I save with such brilliant medical arts? How many mysteries of the human body can I explore? How many unknown fields can I explore?
"However, the goddamn longevity limits us. The stronger we are, the faster our life will be burned, and the shorter our life will be! The peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage is as fleeting as a shooting star. It can only last for decades!
"How can it be enough? How can it be enough for us to make contributions to the country and the civilization and explore the infinite peaks?"
"Therefore, sacrificing some insignificant guys and using their essence, wisdom, and soul as nutrients to nurture the most excellent representatives of the civilization of mankind so that we can continue to contribute to the civilization for hundreds of years is perfectly justified and natural, isn't it?
"Yes, I have retrieved the brains and even Jin Dan of the heavily wounded from the frontline. But so what? Those things can help me maintain the most vigorous energy and the keenest senses, allowing me to complete one operation after another for ten days and ten nights and save more lives!
"Sacrificing one to save a hundred is very reasonable! After all, those people have been prepared to be sacrificed since the first day they stepped on the battlefield. Just pretend that they are blown into pieces by the cannons of the starships in the frontline. What's the difference? What's the difference? "
Li Yao took a deep breath and said slowly, "Your actions have completely violated the true meaning of the Great Dao of Immortality."
"No, what I cultivate is the true Great Path of Immortal Cultivation, the ultimate Great Path of Immortal Cultivation!"
Dongfang Renxin had completely gone crazy. Veins protruded out of his face like countless earthworms around his facial organs. His whole face couldn't have been more twisted. "Survival of the fittest is the most primitive and purest true path of immortality! "You and I are both in the Divinity Transformation Stage, so we are more qualified to live than the Yuanying, Core Formation, Foundation Building, and Qi Refinement Stage cultivators. We are the real rulers of this world. Those below the Divinity Transformation Stage are all ants! Are you really going to make an enemy out of one, no, a group of Semi-God Realm warriors for a bunch of ants? "
The corners of Li Yao's eyes twitched. "President Dongfang, you're crazy."
"No, I'm not crazy. It's because you can't see through it, or you don't have the courage to say it even if you do. You are too hypocritical. You guys are all too hypocritical!"
Dongfang Renxin shrieked. "You and I are both in the Divinity Transformation Stage. We are new human beings who are above all living beings and even beyond the category of human beings. We are 'superhumans' that are more excellent than 'hominoids' and 'true human beings'!
"We are superhumans and true gods. We do not need to abide by any rules and morals of mortals. Hominoids slaughter cows and sheep, true human beings slaughter hominoids, and we 'superhumans' devour 'true human beings'. What's wrong with that?
"The world of Immortal Cultivators is a world of cannibalism! Killing with blades, killing with bullets, and killing with teeth is the same! Vulture Li Yao, you have advanced all the way to the Divinity Transformation Stage. I don't believe that you have never killed anyone you shouldn't have, looted other people's training resources, or set other people up with sordid, shameless tricks!
"We are all killing people, but I will simply go through one more procedure and devour all those people after the killing. In such a way, the spiritual root, the Jin Dan, and the lifelong Cultivation that they have worked so hard to build up will not be wasted. Do you know what a great sin it is to waste resources in a world that is in dire shortage of resources?"
Li Yao sniffed and walked to Dongfang Renxin step by step, unmoved.
Dongfang Renxin had already retreated to the corner of the wall. He had nowhere to retreat anymore, but his face seemed to have been ignited by the fire that had dashed out of the deepest level of hell. His expression was even more horrifying than the test subjects in his secret research institute. His smile was even uglier than his crying. "Do you still not understand? Most of the Immortal Cultivators are the same as the hominoids. Their lives are meaningless. Even if they are granted certain strength, it will only be used to brutalize each other and be wasted for nothing.
"However, if the strength is concentrated on the Divinity Transformation Stage, the real elites and rulers, we will be able to do more meaningful things with the strength. We can even break into the unprecedented level. Wake up. We are all in the Divinity Transformation Stage. The Divinity Transformation Stage should not brutalize each other but find a way to rule the ants together!"
Li Yao smiled. "Your words are so touching that I almost believed them. However, even if what you said just now makes sense, how do you explain the operation you performed today? Polishing the spiritual root of a mediocre young man with the brains and bodies of dozens of training geniuses, just because the mediocre young man has a powerful father or grandfather? Is that in line with the 'real' true path of immortality that you described? "
Dongfang Renxin had been talking nonstop just now, as if he were determined to argue with Li Yao to the end.
Li Yao's words, however, were like a fist that was deeply embedded into his face. He stammered for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Li Yao said, "Save your strength. You know that I will not let go of you today."
"I know, I know …"
Dongfang Renxin immediately shriveled like a balloon that had lost all its air. A moment later, he grimaced again, with brutality beaming out of his eyes, "If you are fighting for power, just stop pretending to be so righteous. It makes me sick to see you like this!
"You and I both know that I am not the only family in the entire Imperium that is studying the secret arts of 'cannibal training'. Which of the four Kurfürst families and the forces at the edge of the Imperium are not studying similar secret arts in secret? Which of them have not secretly killed countless Immortal Cultivators?
"However, hehe. How can those idiotic guys develop such marvelous secret arts? Only I, and only I, Dongfang Renxin, in the entire Imperium, can develop unprecedented, unparalleled secret arts that can change the entire world with inspiration from countless ancient books!
"You have absolutely no idea what kind of forces you have pissed off, Vulture Li Yao. Do you think that only a few leaders of the Dongfang family have tasted the taste of 'cannibal training'? Hahahaha. You can't be more wrong if you think so. My 'clients' are enormous beyond your imagination. You can't afford to piss them off. Even though Li Linghai and the entire reformists are behind you, you still have to reach a compromise or even join in and share the benefits!
"Do you think that you can completely annihilate me after you catch me today? That's the greatest joke in the world!
"You can't annihilate me. You can even kill Dongfang Wang, but you definitely can't annihilate me! The most precious thing in the world is technology. Do the leaders of the four Kurfürst families who are hundreds of years old not want to live another five hundred years? I'm the only one who can help them do that!
"So, even if you destroy my secret research institute today, so what? Before long, under the protection of the four families and even your queen, I will be able to change my name and open a larger, more advanced research institute in a secret place with a different identity. Chances are that you will come to me crying and begging me to strengthen you by then!
"So, don't go too far in case we meet again in the future. Vulture Li Yao, remember that!"
Li Yao hesitated for a long time. "Will the four families really allow or even support your approach of 'cannibal training'?"
"What's the difference between the four families, the emperor, and the queen?"
Dongfang Renxin laughed crazily. "In a world of cannibalism, if you don't eat other people, other people will eat you. Is there a third option?"
After a brief silence, Li Yao asked again, "Are your medical skills really so brilliant?"
Slightly dazed, Dongfang Renxin was overjoyed. He nodded quickly and said, "Of course. Of course. I can give you a hundred times the strength!"
"Just now, it was ten times, and now it's a hundred times?"
Li Yao smiled casually. "Alright. Since your medical skills are so brilliant, I'll give you a chance."
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when he suddenly kicked Dongfang Renxin's chest brutally!
The kick was both tricky and brutal. The power rune arrays at the bottom of the Crystal Suit were activated when he kicked, spurting out high-temperature flames that burnt the flesh on Dongfang Renxin's chest immediately.
"Ahhh!"
Dongfang Renxin screamed in excruciating pain.
His face unchanged, Li Yao kicked the joints of Dongfang Renxin's limbs nonstop like lightning. Very soon, the bones were completely blown into powder, but the nerves that sensed pain were not hurt. Dongfang Renxin could still taste the most intense pain.
After only half a minute, Dongfang Renxin had turned into a pile of mud. There was nothing he could do except lie on the ground, breathing hard, and stare at Li Yao in hatred.
"I almost forgot that your soul is so powerful. Even without this ragged body, it is still possible for your soul to crawl into the artificial body and continue harming people."
