580: pollute

“I’ve long felt that you weren’t a good person.”

“Hmph, showing your true colors now, aren’t you!”

Communication was hopeless, and Sorrowful Disciple couldn't be bothered to continue playing along with Yun Che.

He directly chose to mobilize all his strength, attempting to break out of this Small World.

But it was futile; no matter how much force he exerted, he only managed to stir up ripples in the surrounding space.

Whenever he was about to break through a certain spot, the space there would recover at an astonishing speed, as if it were alive.

Because this Small World was no longer a pure world.

It was... Chen De’s body!

Yes.

Chen De’s true form had merged with this Small World; one could also say he had devoured it.

Now, Sorrowful Disciple was inside him, and to get out, he first had to get past Chen De.

Just then, a phantom slowly emerged behind Yun Che.

It had no specific shape, merely flowing there like a mass of chaos.

Sorrowful Disciple unconsciously looked at the mass of chaos, as if all his attention was drawn to it.

Even his consciousness seemed to be drawn into its flow, and his pupils became somewhat unfocused.

However, Sorrowful Disciple was, after all, at the Immortal Law Realm Fifth Transformation, and he quickly realized that something was amiss.

His eyes instantly regained clarity, and he broke free from that strange state.

He initially thought everything was fine, but he then discovered that his divine soul seemed to be covered by something.

No, it wasn't covered; rather, some unknown transformation had occurred.

Contamination!

For some reason, these two words suddenly appeared in his mind.

When cultivation reaches a certain level, an individual's existence carries a certain radiation.

This radiation affects irradiated objects, causing them to undergo a transformation biased towards the source of the radiation.

The most typical example of this is the Divine Tribulation Realm, whose very existence is said to be able to reflect upon all realms.

For instance, if an incredibly powerful Divine Tribulation Realm expert appears, many individuals with similar growth paths will emerge in certain Small Worlds, or even in corners of the universe.

Especially in some Small Worlds, it's as if their growth trajectory was tailor-made, identical in every way, even their appearance and names might be the same.

Due to different platforms, although they all eventually stood at the pinnacle of their respective worlds, their achievements were vastly different.

But the situation before him was definitely not some so-called reflection; no reflection looked like this.

So there was another possibility—contamination!

This origin was even greater than that of the Divine Tribulation Realm, because it involved some mysterious existence.

Evil God!

Even though Sorrowful Disciple had lived for so long, he knew very little about Evil Gods.

It was as if matters concerning Evil Gods were a taboo, deliberately erased and diluted by someone.

Sorrowful Disciple had very little information about Evil Gods; his realm was still too low, and the only thing he knew was contamination.

Evil Gods possess the ability to contaminate and assimilate, capable of contaminating any existence that has come into contact with Them in any form.

Including but not limited to touching, seeing, hearing, knowing... and this contamination is bidirectional; whether you see Them or They see you, a connection will be established, and you will be contaminated.

Even if it's just an image of an Evil God, seeing it will still lead to contamination.

Similarly, the more information one knows about an Evil God, the more severe the contamination will be.

Just knowing an Evil God's name is nothing, because Evil God is just a general term.

The words “Evil God” themselves do not carry a contaminating effect.

But if one learns information about an Evil God, they will immediately be contaminated by it.

Of course, the degree of contamination still depends on the Evil God’s own strength.

Also, the Indestructible Realm possesses Indestructible Matter, which can resist this contamination or reflection to a certain extent.

So, as long as one doesn't know too much information, they will be fine.

But an Evil God should at least be at the Divine Tribulation Realm, right? It still carries the word 'God'.

Yet, what he saw was merely a hazy divine soul, with no other abnormalities.

If it were a true Evil God, with just that one glance, let alone him, even someone at the Saint Extreme Realm would perish.

So what exactly was it he saw? Was it reflection or contamination?

Sorrowful Disciple was more inclined to believe this change was contamination.

“What connection do you have with an Evil God?”

“Could it be that your so-called Holy Mother Sect actually worships an Evil God?”

Without hesitation, Sorrowful Disciple directly voiced his conjecture.

As he spoke, he had another guess, “Are you trying to contaminate me?”

As soon as he spoke, a pair of crimson eyes, as if about to drip blood, suddenly appeared in the chaotic phantom.

The eyes had no pupils, only a blood-red expanse; through them, one could almost see mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

At the same time, Yun Che’s eyes were also instantly dyed red.

Seeing this, Sorrowful Disciple understood that the other party was getting serious.

Yun Che, expressionless, spoke word by word, “Master, it’s one thing for you to insult me, but you dare to insult the Holy Mother Sect, which represents the righteous path of heaven and earth? Do you know what you are doing?”

“I originally thought I could persuade you to put down the butchers knife and turn over a new leaf, but I didn't expect you to be so deluded and stubborn.”

“So be it, the master-disciple relationship between us ends today.”

“Master!”

“This is the last time I will call you Master. From now on, there is no Master!”

With that, an incomparably black blade appeared in Yun Che’s hand, and he slashed towards him.

The speed was extreme; light speed was weak in front of him.

As Yun Che made his move, Sorrowful Disciple almost instantly judged what realm the opponent was displaying.

Immortal Law Realm Fifth Transformation!

Roughly in the late stage, equivalent to Sorrowful Disciple’s own cultivation.

In reality, Chen De was currently only at the initial stage of Demon Venerable Realm Fifth Transformation, but with various enhancements, he was already comparable to the late stage of Fifth Transformation.

A narrow path leads to a fierce encounter!

After discerning the opponent's approximate strength, Sorrowful Disciple did not believe he would lose.

Everyone is in the same realm, who's afraid of whom!

“Great Sorrowful Heaven-Rending Hand!”

“world-descending demonic blade!”

The two sides engaged in close combat, exchanging just one move before separating.

They stood back to back.

Yun Che stood with the black blade in hand, completely unharmed.

As for Sorrowful Disciple, where his hands had been, there was now nothing.

Clearly, after that brief exchange, Yun Che had gained the upper hand.

Looking at the place where his hands had been, a trace of disbelief flashed in Yun Che’s eyes, “It’s a Divine Ability!”

Divine Ability!

Even in the Upper Plane, it was an incredibly rare thing, with few Immortal Law Realm cultivators able to master it.

It could be said that at the Immortal Law Realm level, apart from those born with it.

The rest of the Immortal Realm cultivators, only the most elite few were qualified to master it.

Except for a very few individuals, it was almost impossible to obtain it below the late Immortal Law Realm.

Even within the entire Tianzhao Strange Domain, only the Tian Zhao Sect possessed a single Divine Ability.
