Book 08 Chapter 123: The Curse Begins, Seize the Deity



Underground Blood City:


The Black Soul Reaper returned to Blood Shaman Hall. The Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon had already recovered by eighty percent, with only some Curse Energy lingering, which would soon be cleansed.


The bat still hung from the rafters, its eyes glaring crimson at the Black Soul Reaper.


“Bai Zizai agreed?” the bat asked casually.


“Yes, but we have to wait twenty days. Once everything in the nether realm is settled, we can cast the curse!” the Black Soul Reaper replied solemnly.


“Sure, and what about the goods?” the bat inquired again.


“There are too many items. I’m concerned about your space…” the Black Soul Reaper replied hesitantly.


“Bai Zizai has a small immortal firmament, and he has prepared a batch of imitations for you; I know you have ample space. My blood sea is not as simple as you think. Just dump everything into the blood sea!” the bat said indifferently.


“Understood!” the Black Soul Reaper responded.


Splash!


The Black Soul Reaper waved his hand, and countless spirit stones poured out like a heavenly river, gushing into the blood sea.


There seemed to be monsters swimming in the depths of the blood sea, continuously consuming the spirit stones gushing in. Many whirlpools appeared in the blood sea, engulfing all the spirit stones, no matter how many there were.


Three trillion? What a colossal amount. Even the Black Soul Reaper’s eyelids twitched at the sight.


This was the accumulation of the Heavenly Demon Holy Land over millions of years; ninety-nine percent of its reserves were instantly depleted.


The entire blood sea emitted an overwhelming blood mist shrouding the entire Underground Blood City. All the curse cultivators suddenly shivered as nourishing energy surged into their bodies. Excitement flickered in everyone’s eyes.


“Thank you, Master!” Countless curse cultivators bowed respectfully towards the blood sea.


In the city were nine halls, each in a different direction. The Nine Kings looked at the distant blood sea with complicated expressions and said respectfully, “Thank you, Master!”


The Black Soul Reaper’s expression became solemn because he could feel something nourishing his spiritual soul within the blood mist.


“Underground Blood City Lord, I would like to know, what effect will the Nine Cauldron Deity Seizing Curse have?” the Black Soul Reaper asked.


“The Nine Cauldron Deity Seizing Curse can bring Gu Hai’s entire consciousness, along with his ‘deity’ here!” the bat replied indifferently from the rafters.


“Gu Hai’s ‘deity’?” The Black Soul Reaper frowned.


“The deity refers to the seventh physical soul, hidden in the forehead. Curse techniques are a part of divine cultivation, as you well know!” the bat explained calmly.


“However, Gu Hai hasn’t reached the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm yet. He might not have a ‘deity.’ Maybe he hasn’t formed the seventh physical soul yet?” The Black Soul Reaper furrowed his brow.


“If he hasn’t formed the seventh physical soul, it will be even easier to bring his entire consciousness here, making his destruction much simpler!” the bat said calmly.


“Bring Gu Hai’s consciousness to Underground Blood City? What about Gu Hai’s physical body and three spiritual souls?” the Black Soul Reaper asked with misgivings.


“Naturally, his body will faint there. As for the three spiritual souls, they will be fine. They will simply lose consciousness, turning Gu Hai into an idiot. Forcibly awakening him will only cause irreparable harm. Without a consciousness, he will become a walking corpse!” the bat explained.


“That’s how the Azure Dragon Prime died back then. So, he was affected by this curse, passed out, and then became like an idiot? Back then, nobody could figure out the problem. Truly worthy of being a primogenitor-grade curse!” The Black Soul Reaper’s eyes narrowed slightly.


“By the way, Gu Hai has a clone. Will you curse them together?” the Black Soul Reaper suddenly asked.


“That’s right. He has a clone. He nearly fooled me last time. Humph!” The bat suddenly became grim.


“How about it?” the Black Soul Reaper inquired.


“As long as he is in this world, drinking the water and absorbing the energy of this world, he cannot escape the divine cultivation’s curse. Don’t worry!” the bat replied sternly.


“Alright, let’s hope nothing goes wrong!” The Black Soul Reaper nodded.


The Black Soul Reaper then went back and reported to Bai Zizai.

Yin Tiger Deity Hall:


“The Nine Cauldron Deity Seizing Curse? If that’s the case, it’s enough. Black Soul Reaper, you stay in Underground Blood City. Witness Gu Hai’s consciousness being completely obliterated, turning him into a fool. Make sure Gu Hai’s deity disappears forever!” Bai Zizai said solemnly.


“Rest assured, Milord. I will witness everything. If they dare to lie, I will destroy everything in Underground Blood City, leaving no one alive!” the Black Soul Reaper said coldly.


“Good!” Bai Zizai nodded.


Everything was ready.


On the tenth day after Essence Genesis bathed the nether realm in blood, the Underground Blood City finally started the primogenitor-grade curse.


The shamans throughout the city chanted quietly as if storing up Curse Energy.


The Black Soul Reaper and the Bellowing Griever Heavenly Demon witnessed everything. They watched as a blood mist enveloped Underground Blood City. Purplish-azure Curse Energy converged from nine different directions. Slowly, nine colossal beast cauldrons emerged above.


The Nine Kings each presided over one of the Nine Cauldrons. They sat at the mouth of each cauldron, incanting.


The chanting of curses rang out throughout Underground Blood City.


Bursts of crimson aura rose into the sky from the blood sea, slowly coalescing into a row of huge crimson characters in midair.


“The Han Heavenly Emperor, Gu Hai!”


The words stated Gu Hai’s identity.


“Primogenitor of the nine heavens illuminating the world, the Nine Cauldrons are your bones, suppressing the world. Bi-An, Qiuniu, Pixiu, Taotie, Yazi, Suanni, Baxia, Bixi, and Chiwen, the Nine Cauldrons shall suppress. Snatch the demonic deity of the world. Suppress!” The loud shout came from the blood sea.


Buzz!


The Nine Cauldrons juddered.


Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!


The Nine Kings each spat three mouthfuls of blood into their respective cauldrons.


The Nine Cauldrons suddenly emitted dragon roars, revealing nine different monstrous creatures.


Boom!


The nine cauldrons shook, causing the ground to quake. The words “The Han Heavenly Emperor, Gu Hai!” in the air shattered. Then, the entire sky darkened, and ripples spread out.


Countless motes of light descended from the sky like fireflies.


“Gu Hai’s ‘deity’ has arrived. All members of the shaman race, be careful. Anyone who sees Gu Hai’s ‘deity’ must report it immediately. Whoever captures him will be richly rewarded!” A thunderous voice came from the blood sea.


“Yes, Master!” Countless shamans immediately rushed excitedly towards each firefly-like mote.


Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!


Countless bats soared into the sky from the blood sea, flying in all directions, rushing to the endless firefly-like light motes, searching for Gu Hai’s “deity”!


The Black Soul Reaper’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.


------


The Nine Cauldron Deity Seizing Curse, a primogenitor-grade curse with immense might.


Just as the curse was being cast, Gu Hai’s true body in the land of the living suddenly collapsed, leaving the empresses bewildered and terrified.


In the nether realm, the skeleton Gu Hai was originally reviewing memorials when a sudden gust of cold wind swept over his body.


Whoosh!


The skeleton Gu Hai shuddered all over. The cold wind seemed to be trying to sweep away Gu Hai’s consciousness. However, the Void Energy within the skeleton Gu Hai quickly dispelled the cold wind.


As long as one was in this world, one could not escape a primogenitor-grade curse. However, the skeleton Gu Hai’s energy came from the void, not from this world. Naturally, he quickly shook free of this Curse Energy.


“What’s going on?” The skeleton Gu Hai’s face sank.


Whoosh!


The next moment, the skeleton Gu Hai stood up, his expression changing dramatically.


Just then, the skeleton Gu Hai lost awareness of the consciousness of his true body.


Originally, Gu Hai’s true body and the skeleton clone shared a consciousness, but at that moment, their connection was suddenly cut off, just like not long ago, when his true body had entered the hungry ghost path of reincarnation secret realm.


It’s gone?


Did something happen again?


With a worried expression, the skeleton Gu Hai disappeared from the study and instantly arrived at Yinyang Valley.


There, he met Lin Waner, who was rushing over anxiously.


Lin Waner’s eyes were bloodshot. When she raised her head, she suddenly saw the skeleton Gu Hai.


“Husband, your clone is fine, but your true body has suddenly passed out!” Lin Waner said with fear in her eyes.


“Passed out?” The skeleton Gu Hai’s expression changed.


Not entered a path of reincarnation secret realm but passed out? How could this happen?


“Husband, you need to go back and check…!” Lin Waner urged anxiously.


The skeleton Gu Hai pulled Lin Waner along, stepping into the land of the living. In a few flashes, they arrived in the residential area of the palace in the land of the living.


The true body was unconscious there, held by Chen Xianer, while a fretful Long Wanqing looked on, and Long Wanyu rushed over.


“What happened to Brother-in-Law?” Long Wanyu asked anxiously.


Chen Xianer had maintained her calm all the while. However, when she saw the skeleton Gu Hai arrive, she could no longer hold back her panic.


“I don’t know! He suddenly passed out for no reason!” Chen Xianer replied in distress.


The skeleton Gu Hai first grabbed the true body and poured energy into it.


He knew himself the best. After all, they were the same person, so the true body did not resist the skeleton Gu Hai’s energy.


“Brother-in-Law, what’s wrong? What’s wrong with your body? Is it because you’ve been doing that with Elder Sister and the others for too long? Your body can’t handle it anymore?” Long Wanyu asked anxiously.


“You darned lass, what are you saying?!” Long Wanqing glared at her younger sister.


After all, the skeleton Gu Hai was still there; this eased Long Wanqing’s tension a lot.


The skeleton Gu Hai checked his body, then gently activated the palm of his true body, producing a bubble-like small sphere, which was the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. Then he stepped in and quickly came out.


“How is it?” the women asked worriedly.


The skeleton Gu Hai frowned. “Everything is fine. The three spiritual souls and six physical souls are all in a deep sleep. However, the seventh physical soul is missing; the deity is gone!”


“Brother-in-Law, have you formed the seventh physical soul?” Long Wanyu asked in surprise.


The true body did indeed have a seventh physical soul. However, it was not complete. It was the Go physical soul, and there were four of them. He would only truly form a seventh physical soul after merging the four Go physical souls.


“I can only say that it’s a semi-complete seventh physical soul. Besides that, all three spiritual souls and six physical souls are in their respective places. By the way, it seemed like a gust of cold wind blew over my clone just now, but I cleared it with my energy.” The skeleton Gu Hai’s frown deepened.


Chen Xianer frowned, then suggested, “How about trying to stimulate your true body? See if your true body will wake up?”


“Don’t!” Long Wanyu suddenly exclaimed.


“What’s wrong?” the other women asked in confusion.


“Cold wind? Seventh physical soul? The deity disappearing? The consciousness disappearing?” Long Wanyu’s expression changed drastically. “I understand now! I understand now! This is a curse. This was how the Azure Dragon Prime died!”
