Chapter 1573: Rebirth of the Ruthless Bandit (1)
[Well, I suppose I might have spoken too early. It turned out the spear I was given wasn’t something I should have looked down on.
Lesson learned.
But now that I have seen the true nature of the spear given to me by the daughter of the Celestial Supreme, I can’t help but wonder just where she got it from.
That kind of weapon wasn’t something someone like her should have had in her possession to begin with.
It introduced itself as Ryoa, an eldritch evil born from the very essence of darkness. It claimed it was the first of its kind.
I was very shaken when I heard it speak. Later, I learned more about Ryoa and even started treating it as a person.
Ryoa is a living weapon born from the very essence of evil, and so when it linked with me, I finally broke free from the last shred of goodness I had in me.
The relief of finally being free of goodness was intoxicating. It was the best time of my life. Now, I have a weapon that grows with me and bestows on me all kinds of eldritch evil.
I honestly don’t know why that lady gave it to me, but I bet now, if she looked at what I had gained, she would cry tears of anguish. But then again, destiny and fate have their own way of doing things. Maybe I was meant to have this.
Now I do, and I plan on killing another set of gods who have come to seek revenge after news of me killing the daughter of the Celestial Supreme spread all over.]
Kent grinned, flipping to the next page.
Behind him, the Spear of Evil released waves of Evil Qi, the kind that would make even a demigod cower in fear. On its shaft, nine runes lit up one by one, each adding to the already powerful Qi in the air.
After the ninth rune lit up, the spear transformed, taking on the look of a bone dragon.
ROAR
It roared, causing the entire Skull City to tremble. Many felt their souls shaken, and for a moment, they entertained the idea of running. However, they changed their minds when a voice whispered into their ears.
’Mutsu mi o lo’
It wasn’t words they understood, but at once, they all felt a familiar force slip into their bodies. On their foreheads, a skull tattoo appeared, and at once, every last soul was cocooned in a dark, malevolent energy.
The only person who wasn’t affected was Princess Pandora, who sat drinking her hell wine.
Noticing what had happened, she smiled weakly.
It appeared she knew what had happened, and so she could only wait for the awakening of the First Evil Race.
"I don’t know what you saw the last time when you entered that place, Lex, but if this is the path you have chosen, then I will support you to the end."
She flicked her hand, and a red orb flew, merging with Kent’s forehead. He didn’t know something had entered his body just yet. Soon, however, he would be made aware.
***
[I killed 100 True Gods as an Immortal Lord and nearly died against a God King. People are in shock, but I am disappointed. All those 100 gods were powerful, but after Ryoa and I bonded, I had also become powerful.
Nearly dying against a God King was just humiliating for me.
Unfortunately for me, becoming a demigod is proving to be impossible. I’ve tried three times already but haven’t been able to break through. It feels like whenever I am about to break the barrier, something stops me.
Maybe they are afraid of me attaining divinity. Maybe they are scared of what I will become when I tap into the boundless power of Divine Qi.
I cannot let that happen. Now that I am in a God World, I believe it is imperative to have access to Divine Qi and be able to form my own domain, else next time, I will die.
Since that is the case, I will use the method Ryoa gave me. I will use the souls of 1000 gods as a sacrifice to the Evil Dao and finally open the path that has never been tread before.]
Kent flipped to the next page, leaving only two more pages to go...
[The Universe Council is now afraid of me, so they didn’t send more gods after me. But they gave me ample time to hunt, and now that I have 1000 god-beast souls, the ritual will be performed today.
As to whether I succeed or not, the heavens will bear witness.]
Kent closed his eyes, but he still seemed to be reading. However, as he closed his eyes, the grimoire hanging on his waist moved and started to hover before him.
Just when his reading reached the part where the ritual started, it flung open, revealing three red diagrammatic symbols on the front page.
One looks like a star lined with three crisscross bones. The second looks like an eye pierced by an arrow, encased within a triangle. The last is a seal with nine arrays inside.
They glowed faintly.
Kent flipped to the next page, and with it, the three diagrams moved from the page and merged with his forehead. At once, his entire body exploded into waves of Evil Qi, so dense that Princess Pandora was shaken for a moment.
She stood up and walked forward, wanting to see what had happened.
"This..."
Her expression changed at once. The initial smile on her face was replaced by a stunned look, clearly shaken by what she had seen.
"True Evil Awakening... just how..."
She waved her hand, and a black stone appeared. Before she could do anything herself, the stone flew from her hand and vanished into Kent’s chest.
"Oh, how insidious." An evil smile formed on her face as she waved her hand, retrieving a mountain of that stone. They all vanished into Kent’s soul sea.
The black stones are called [Evil Heart Stones], minerals imbued with the power of True Evil. To non-evil cultivators, absorbing it greatly enhances their killing intent.
However, to Kent, something even more sinister had begun to take shape within his Soul Sea.
After a few minutes, he flipped to the last page, where a diagram could be found instead of text. The diagram glowed red and turned to mist along with the book, everything entering his forehead.
Behind him, the bone dragon shrank and entered Kent’s forehead, vanishing into his Soul Sea.
A few seconds later, a dark cocoon, much thicker and denser than the one surrounding the Velkharians, formed around him, encasing his evil self in what promised to be the awakening of the first and last Evil.
Princess Pandora stood guard, her expression back to normal.
Inwardly, however, she couldn’t wait long enough for Kent to emerge from his transformation.
She had only expected Kent to recover his memories and awaken his Evil Heart Seed. However, now it appears he has started his first awakening, one that would not only awaken his Evil Heart Seed but also form his Evil Core, making him a True Evil by all standards.
Many people walk the path of evil in this universe, but in the history of the universe, only two people ever walked the path of True Evil.
The first was an eldritch creature banished into this universe, known as the Queen of Evil.
The second was the Ruthless Bandit, who had died and now returned to reclaim what he had left behind—the Legacy of Evil, something the Unknown Race had been searching for aeons.
