"I've told you before that the Ancient Monster's Remains are indestructible. Only the Sword of Qi can kill it." As Dorgon spoke, he raised his left arm, revealing dark green, ugly skin that was covered in blood vessels. The red glow fluctuated, as if it was a parasite that could breathe.
"Defeating Armies's Primordial Spirit was annihilated, but his Remains did not die, because he died under the Monster's Sword of Will, not the Sword of Qi."
Baker Richardson's heart skipped a beat, but he remained silent.
Dorgon continued, "This is the Ruler's Authority, and also the essence of the Ruler's indestructible nature. In fact, the Ruler can be killed, but what is indestructible is the Remains; it is the Authority that has evolved over countless years. Every time they die, it's a restart for them. "
"Defeating Armies's life or death is meaningless to us. In fact, it's a good thing."
Upon hearing that, Baker Richardson nodded slightly.
Defeating Armies was an old monster that had lived for countless years. He had already existed before humans were born. Compared to him, Dorgon was just a child with a lifespan of more than four hundred years.
Baker Richardson did not have much confidence in making an enemy out of such an existence.
In his mind, he was looking for an opportunity to let Defeating Armies die in the hands of the Bosch camp's Supreme Daoists. This was not wishful thinking. He knew that Li Xianyu hated Defeating Armies to the core. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely kill Defeating Armies at all costs.
If that did not work, he would try to join forces with Dorgon and kick Defeating Armies out of the team of three.
Baker Richardson's idea was realized. Defeating Armies was eliminated early, although he died in the hands of the Monster who returned after eighty years.
"In other words, as long as the Remains are still in our hands, it doesn't matter whether Defeating Armies is dead or alive. We can create new allies. "Dorgon's smile was unfathomable.
"Create allies …" President Baker repeated this sentence over and over again.
"That's right. You should know about my deeds. When I was in my prime, I led an army to slaughter a dragon in the Yangtze River, and the one I slaughtered was the Ruler. In the following four hundred years, I destroyed the will of the Remains step by step, repeatedly modified the array, and finally refined it into a great medicine. "
"Aside from me, no one has ever been able to steal the Juggernaut's Authority, not even the Juggernaut himself." Dorgon's voice was filled with pride.
Baker Richardson fell silent. He thought of the Demonic Dao, Forgotten Dust, the human Extreme Dao who had created the Tripartite Sword Art and was viewed as a great threat by the Sovereign.
Although this Prince Regent of the Qing Dynasty wasn't as powerful as the Demon Dao, he was still extremely terrifying. He was the first human in history to steal the Ruler's Authority.
These fellows were truly invincible. To put it in the words of the United States of America, they were all true top students in Harvard.
And he, the strongest man under the starry sky, the President of the Supers Association, was just a tyrant in a second-rate university.
Even though he used to be extremely proud, President Baker had to admit that he was still lacking compared to them.
According to Dorgon's words, he seemed to be afraid of the Unparalleled Fighting Soul. What secrets did this woman have? Or was she a top student?
"But didn't Li Xianyu also obtain the Phoenix's authority?" President Baker questioned.
Dorgon's smug expression froze. "That's an exception."
After a pause, he said, "Don't let the goodies flow to outsiders. I plan to give this shell to you."
Baker Richardson's eyes stopped on Dorgon's left arm. That ugly arm seemed to have become the most beautiful thing in the world.
It was worse than the body of one's first love, worse than the glittering gold, worse than any kind of power.
He swallowed silently.
Dorgon raised his left arm, not caring about President Baker's slight loss of composure. No one knew the temptation of the shell better than he did.
"How long will it take?" Baker Richardson had calmed his turbulent heart at this time. "We have confirmed that the fruit has matured further, and we don't have much time left."
"The results of my more than four hundred years of research are still very remarkable. The most troublesome thing back then was how to erase the will in the shell. Although they are dead, their will still exists, and it's like a deep sleep. In fact, it's to engrave arrays to reduce the burden on the body when absorbing the shell. "
"Even if it's an extreme path, forcibly fusing with the shell will be accompanied by huge risks. This has nothing to do with physique or realm, but with genes. Some people's bodies are born unable to match the shell, and it will cause the collapse of the gene chain. "
This guy, who knows how many people's lives were used in experiments, President Baker thought.
"In the long process of thinking, I improved the array countless times. Around the beginning of the 19th century, missionaries brought Western medicine to China. At first, I didn't care about this Western technique. It wasn't until the end of the second Opium War that the knowledgeable people of the Qing Dynasty proposed the idea of 'learning from foreigners to control foreigners'. "
"It suddenly dawned on me that maybe it's time to go out and see the world. Instead of working behind closed doors, why not go out and find a new path, learn the knowledge of foreigners, and comprehend by analogy? "
"I began to study Western history, learn Western culture, and finally focused on Western medicine. I felt that Western medicine might bring me inspiration. It turned out that my idea was right. Do you know the incubation period in medicine? "
"Let's get straight to the point. Although I didn't receive a good education when I was young, it doesn't mean I'm a fool," Baker Richardson said coldly.
"Past experiments told me that the reason the gene chain collapses is because after fusing with the shell, the Ancient Fey gene will instantly devour the human gene and forcefully modify it. It's like creating another ruler. Humans haven't gone through a long period of evolution, so they don't deserve this kind of authority. They can't bear the great power granted by nature. "
"So I borrowed the inspiration of the incubation period, treating the shell as a virus that invades the human body. It hides in the human body and needs a period of incubation before it can erupt. During this period, we actively refine it, absorb it, and extract the authority bit by bit."
"The theory is simple, but it took 50 years to complete."
"We don't have that long," Baker Richardson reminded him.
"You're lucky. The Demon Dao directly passed the most difficult stage in order to remove the remnant will in the shell. After that, I only need to engrave the array for you, and you can absorb the Defeating Armies' shell and become the second Defeating Armies Ruler. This won't take too long, at least it'll only take a few hours to devour him. "
"Why are you giving it to me? Don't you want the Defeating Armies' authority?"
"Didn't I tell you? The genes between rulers are incompatible, so I can't use it. "
"But if I remember correctly, Li Xianyu has both the Phoenix's authority and the Succubus' remains," Baker Richardson raised his doubts.
There's no point in arguing like this. Dorgon's face darkened. "He's an exception."
As for the reason, he didn't know.
First of all, it was true that Li Xianyu hadn't completely fused with the Succubus' shell. Although he could use the Charm Esper Ability, the power of the Esper Ability was greatly reduced, and his physical body and aura didn't have a huge increase.
After all, Dorgon had devoured part of the shell to reach the peak of Extreme Grade.
Li Xianyu's utilization of the Succubus' shell was too low, so it didn't seem like a complete fusion. However, it didn't make sense that he could use the Charm Esper Ability.
"What do I have to pay?" Baker Richardson asked in a deep voice.
There was no such thing as a free lunch, and Dorgon wasn't his partner. They were only together because of the same interests, so there was no reason to give it away for free.
"First, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is mine."
"Second, I won't give you all of the shell. After you obtain Defeating Armies' Authority, you'll only be able to split into two extremely powerful clones. But don't worry, this won't affect you reaching the peak of Extreme Grade. "
"I'm the best example. I've only obtained part of the shell, but it's enough for me to step into the peak of Extreme Grade. Your current realm is similar to mine back then, and after devouring the shell, it's enough for you to step into the peak. "
"Absorbing too much is meaningless, and it's a waste. I'm an example. As for the rest of the shell, I have my own use for it. "
With a veteran Extreme Grade as the foundation, devouring part of the shell could advance to the peak of Extreme Grade. The orb in his body also came from that dragon, but it was unclear whether it contained Authority. However, the black dragon that Li Xianyu subdued and raised by his side was indeed an Ancient Fey.
Ordinary Ancient Fey didn't have the characteristics of immortality, so it was conceivable that it was part of the shell.
Dorgon didn't lie to me.
Heh, but he definitely wants to restrain me. If I keep part of the shell, I won't be able to split into three veteran Extreme Grade clones like Defeating Armies.
As everyone knows, a triangle is the most stable, and if it's just two clones, the threat is far less.
With the Kusanagi sword in his hands, he has an effective way to kill me.
It seems like I've gained a lot, but I'm actually at a disadvantage. It'll be extremely difficult to snatch the fruit from Dorgon in the future.
"Either give me all of the shell, or return me the Kusanagi sword." Baker Richardson shook his head, disagreeing with Dorgon's plan.
Dorgon clicked his tongue. "You're too greedy. After devouring the shell, you're already at the peak of Extreme Grade, while I've fallen. If the Kusanagi sword is still under your control, then why should I snatch the fruit? I'll just find a place to live in seclusion. "
"You're at the peak of Extreme Grade, and I have the Kusanagi sword. This is the perfect balance." Dorgon shrugged. "If you don't agree, I can find another ally. Although there are few Extreme Grade experts in the world, isn't there one in Africa?"
Both sides fell into a psychological game of silence.
After a long time, Baker Richardson said in a deep voice, "Okay."
His reason was simple. First of all, he had no choice. If he did not cooperate, Dorgon would most likely stab him to death. The Kusanagi sword was already in his hands, and it was unrealistic to take it back.
Secondly, he had to preserve his capital first. No matter who the fruit ended up with, he would first fuse with the shell and become an immortal ruler, which meant that he would have an endless lifespan.
After all, it was a profit.
Dorgon nodded with satisfaction and took out lighting equipment and tools to inscribe formations from his wallet.
He had done some research on this, and Dan Yunzi was a successful test subject. Unfortunately, he died early in Tokyo, and he did not know what the results were.
However, according to his plan, even if Dan Yunzi devoured Poisontail's authority, he would inevitably become a monster with a confused mind. This was because the will of Poisontail's shell could not be destroyed in a short period of time, and that was enough.
Confusion was more convenient to control.
Pantheon Temple.
Ice Shard and Great-grandmother returned to Pantheon Temple. Li Xianyu and the others had not recovered from their confused state, but they were awake. Li Peiyun and Dan Chenzi, who cultivated the Sword of Will, were meditating.
Li Xianyu, who had the weakest mental power, had Hua Yang to help heal his mental wounds.
Their current state was like a hangover, with a needle-like headache. Their consciousness was not very clear, and they could no longer fight.
The top S-classes were unconscious. Only the Black and White Gods were pale, but they were in good condition. At the moment, they were guarding them with the senior employees who had not been affected.
Seeing that Phoenix and Unparalleled Battle Soul had returned, they looked disappointed. Obviously, they had not succeeded in catching up with Dorgon and Baker Richardson. Since they had returned so early, it was most likely that they had escaped.
They were really difficult to deal with. Both sides had fought again and again, and there were casualties every time. However, both sides were unusually strong, and it was difficult for either side to completely defeat the other.
After a while, the three half-step Extreme Daos did not speak. The unconscious Qin Ze coughed violently, and pieces of dark brown flesh came out of his mouth. When the flesh fell to the ground, it lost its nutrients and rapidly withered.
Originally, the tug-of-war would have lasted for a while longer, but Defeating Armies's main body had died a heroic death. His flesh and blood had lost its consciousness and was expelled by the matured sword embryo.
Qin Ze looked around. His face was pale, and he looked rather weak. With a hoarse laugh, he said, "Defeating Armies is dead!"
Ice Shard glanced at him. This person was also within the range of the Sword of Demon Will. Although he was at the periphery, the Primordial Spirit of a person who was unconscious was especially weak.
His Primordial Spirit was indeed strange.
Ten minutes later, the three stinky brothers opened their eyes one after another and ended their meditation. Other than a slight dizziness, they did not have much of a problem.
"The Sword of Demon Will is really scary." Li Peiyun let out a breath of turbid air. She still had some lingering fear.
"Compared to him …" Dan Chenzi sighed. After all, he had practiced the Sword of Will for more than ten years. However, compared to the second personality of the Demon Will, the difference was like the difference between a toothpick and a needle.
"It's Priest Wang Chen." Li Xianyu glanced at Xiu 'er. Because the Three Talents Sword Technique was taught to her by her great-grandfather, she did not have much affection for Wang Chen. She was used to calling Wang Chen the Demon Will.
"Dead, Wang Chen is dead. This time, he's really dead." Slime was depressed.
Your old lover is dead, but you still have me. Li Xianyu touched his left hand. Although I won't give you the chance to show off, it's not a problem to be a companion who walks side by side with you.
Forget about Wang Chen!
"Dorgon has escaped." Ice Shard looked at Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu nodded slightly and said, "What a pity."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Where's Defeating Armies?"
"Dead." Great-grandmother said crisply, "His Primordial Spirit is gone, but his shell was taken away by Dorgon."
Dan Chenzi and Li Peiyun looked at each other and smiled.
The Black and White Gods and the other Bosch employees were relieved.
