I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 490: Chapter 295: Serendipity at the Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint (Part 6)

Without another word, the Four-Eared People covered with their hands the place on their face where two eyes should have grown. As their index and middle fingers separated, a pair of black pupils instantly appeared between them, identical to the one on Qin Yuesheng’s forehead.

Whew! Whew!

The two black pupils shot forward, carrying a large number of linear zigzagging flashes, rapidly approaching where Qin Yuesheng was located.

The two black pupils seemed to transcend space; Qin Yuesheng barely caught sight of the Four-Eared People’s actions before the pupils were right in front of him in the next breath.

An overwhelming sense of danger instantly enveloped Qin Yuesheng. Upon seeing the black pupils, his vision went black, as if he had fallen into boundless darkness, destined to be lost forever.

In that instant, the Soul-Catching Demon burst forth from Qin Yuesheng’s embrace, taking the black pupils completely into its body in one breath. Yet, these pupils were evidently not something the Soul-Catching Demon could easily handle. It transformed into a ball, dropping to the ground, continuously bulging with things inside as if trying to escape the demon’s constraints.

The two entities seemed to be locked in battle.

This peculiar turn of events allowed Qin Yuesheng to narrowly avoid a disaster. Without the Soul-Catching Demon’s assistance, who knows what dire fate awaited him if those black pupils had collided with him.

Realizing that the Four-Eared People had somehow detected him, Qin Yuesheng immediately leapt from his hiding spot, retrieving all the flying knives from the Celestial Demon pouch, and tossed them like scattering flowers.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In an instant, silver light burst forth, sealing off all directions around the Four-Eared People. No matter where they tried to dodge, they were bound to be struck by one or two knives.

Simultaneously, Qin Yuesheng sprinted, rushing towards the Four-Eared People at the fastest speed.

The sky above this valley was filled with Divine Killing aura; anyone who didn’t tread upon the ground of the valley would be attacked by it.

Hearing Qin Yuesheng rapidly closing in, the Four-Eared People realized their ultimate tactic hadn’t affected Qin Yuesheng at all. They quickly turned to escape to the side.

Yet unexpectedly, a sudden suction emitted from between the two stone pillars, catching the Four-Eared People off guard, forcing them to step onto the stone platform.

"Not good!" The Four-Eared People exclaimed in shock.

The moment someone approached, the surface of the platform instantly oozed numerous black water droplets, impacting the Four-Eared People’s body and forming a layer of black membrane on their surface.

As the droplets surged out more and more, the Four-Eared People soon lost their original appearance, completely enveloped by the black droplets, no longer recognizable.

Gurgle, gurgle!

Seeing this bizarre scene, Qin Yuesheng naturally didn’t dare to approach rashly, standing firm where he was, intending to see what exactly was happening.

After three breaths, all the black droplets retracted into the platform, leaving only a red skeleton above it.

For a moment, the platform appeared extremely dangerous.

Qin Yuesheng retreated three steps, moving back to where he had slain the Cyclops, searching their body.

Yet aside from a few porcelain bottles containing pills, Qin Yuesheng found nothing else, feeling compelled to remark on their poverty. He then decomposed the Cyclops.

[Decomposition successful, obtained ’Inner Strength Pills x10’ ’Qi Replenishing Pill x10’ ’Celestial Evil Profound Scripture x1’]

Inner Strength Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills were no strangers to Qin Yuesheng. Being in the critical moment of advancing from the eighth to the ninth level, he consumed all the pills readily, then began examining the ’Celestial Evil Profound Scripture’.

After insightful reflection, Qin Yuesheng became enlightened.

It turned out the Celestial Evil Profound Scripture was the cultivation method Wang Mazi had mentioned, and the so-called Celestial Evil Curse was the curse the master of the Celestial Evil Sect must implant upon disciples upon initiation.

Only by relying on both the Celestial Evil Curse and the Celestial Evil Profound Scripture could disciples of the sect begin their cultivation.

Now with this item, Qin Yuesheng didn’t need to worry that once the time arrived, the curse on his brow would claim his life.

Yet, this item wasn’t a treasure at all; cultivating the Celestial Evil Profound Scripture meant one would be controlled by the curse-caster, unable to live or die at will.

"It seems many disciples of the Celestial Evil Sect are secretly lurking in Chengshan City," Qin Yuesheng thought.

This place was peculiarly unusual, with Celestial Evil Sect disciples specifically guarding it, indicating the valley held great significance for the sect.

Perhaps this stone platform producing black droplets was the sect’s target.

Examining the naturally formed platform and the two stone pillars, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

He didn’t know how others would deal with such things.

Qin Yuesheng only knew he possessed a means able to dismantle everything, his decomposition ability.

Prepared to deploy the Heaven and Earth movement technique to escape at any moment, Qin Yuesheng reached out toward the edge of the platform.

The moment his palm pressed against the platform, black water droplets the size of soybeans immediately oozed, having witnessed their power firsthand, Qin Yuesheng activated the decomposition ability without hesitation.

[Yes/No—Decompose ’Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint Seal Stone’]

"Yes!"

Qin Yuesheng shouted, and the entire platform vanished from his sight.

But although the platform disappeared, the black droplets showed no sign of stopping, continuing to gather, enveloping Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng’s expression changed instantly; he activated the Heaven and Earth movement technique, disappearing in a blink.

Yet the black droplets persisted, following him relentlessly.

Without the platform’s suppression, the valley’s underground echoed with rumbles. Black Qi soared into the sky, utterly disrupting the area’s balance.

Qin Yuesheng activated the Golden Bell Shield while escaping above the valley. Seeing the black droplets still following, he mobilized his entire Nine Yin Internal Power, ceasing avoidance, attacking the droplets directly.

The Nine Yin Internal Power was extremely cold, and though the black droplets were formidable, they were limited in number, ultimately no match for Qin Yuesheng, freezing into icy beads and dropping down.

Looking down from above, Qin Yuesheng saw the entire valley, now enveloped in nearly tangible black Qi, resembling an immense formation.

Simultaneously, four large white characters appeared above the valley.

They were ancient script: Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint.
