Berserk God of War

As the voice fell, a phantom snake tail fiercely swept towards Sikong Jing, instantly binding him.

Venerable Ba Lian, whose face was covered in scales, frantically tried to burst out with True Qi, shouting: "Dead demon beast, how dare you!"

Saying this, she wanted to rush forward to protect Sikong Jing...

Unfortunately, Venerable Ba Lian couldn’t move at all, mysteriously restrained by some power.

It seemed it was the blood belonging to the Nether Lotus Sea Snake within her, anchoring her body...

Unable to break free, Venerable Ba Lian raged, "Damn it, if you dare to harm Ajing, I’ll destroy you."

Sadly, the spirit shadow of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake on the stone stool merely let out a chilling laugh.

Then, its snake tail tightened around Sikong Jing, pulling him in front of the stone stool, and it said sinisterly: "Young human clan member, although your realm is still weak, you’re much younger and more vibrant than this old woman."

"Your body is better for me, heightening my anticipation."

"Hehe, I’ve decided. I’ll first transform you into a half-human, half-snake entity, then I can use your body to break out of this damned Heavenly Pattern Treasure."

Its words were icy, spraying directly at Sikong Jing.

A drop of blood suddenly emerged from the Stone Stool Magic Box, exactly the blood of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake. Next, it would do as it did with Venerable Ba Lian, infusing its blood into Sikong Jing’s body to modify him.

It intended to transform Sikong Jing into something like Venerable Ba Lian.

Across from him, Venerable Ba Lian could only shout furiously, struggling wildly...

Sikong Jing was already bound, appearing to have no way to resist. The Nether Lotus Sea Snake, even as a mere spirit shadow, seemed to retain its terrifying energy from when it was alive.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to trap them.

In short, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake completely ignored Venerable Ba Lian and continued moving its blood towards Sikong Jing...

"Young human clan member, it will be quick if you don’t resist."

"Actually, you’re not that old woman who has reached the Holy Martial Stage; your realm can’t resist at all anyway."

With that, its blood shot towards Sikong Jing, instantly entering his body.

"Hehehehe..."

Seeing this, the spirit shadow of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake laughed sinisterly, ready to transform Sikong Jing immediately.

But at that moment, Sikong Jing suddenly spoke: "Hold on, can you answer a question for me first?"

It seemed that only now did Sikong Jing finally regain his composure...

To Venerable Ba Lian and the Nether Lotus Sea Snake’s eyes, Sikong Jing had been too scared to speak until just now.

Having this understanding, upon hearing Sikong Jing, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake briefly paused.

In its eyes, Sikong Jing could not possibly resist in his Martial Arts Realm, and was merely indulging in a final curiosity before death, so it thought it was being magnanimous as it nodded its snake head: "Alright, ask away."

Indeed filled with curiosity, Sikong Jing lightly asked: "You just mentioned, is this stone stool a Heavenly Pattern Treasure?"

Upon this question, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake froze.

It had expected Sikong Jing to ask about what would happen to the old woman or post-transformation plans—whichever is none other than familiar questions to Canghai Wujiang’s human and beast folk.

Unexpectedly, he asked such a common sense question.

Finally, it nodded and said: "Yes, see the patterns on the stone stool?"

"These are methods of the Heavenly Pattern Master. Treasures with these patterns are all called Heavenly Pattern Treasures. They are what you humans use to transfer strength. The Heavenly Pattern belongs to encrypted methods."

"Specific details are only clear to you humans. It’s said that a powerful Heavenly Emperor from your human clan invented this."

Upon agreeing to Sikong Jing’s request, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake earnestly answered to satisfy Sikong Jing’s final wish...

Upon hearing this, Sikong Jing gained more understanding about the treasure like the Magic Box; the Divine Turtle had mentioned that one among the Five Heavenly Emperors liked to craft things from live demon beasts.

The so-called Heavenly Pattern...

Should have been invented by this mighty Heavenly Emperor; created after fierce beasts and Divine Beasts were locked away in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison. So they couldn’t name it accurately.

Understanding this, Sikong Jing nodded in thanks: "I see, thank you for informing me."

As these words were spoken, the frenzied Venerable Ba Lian froze on the spot; the Nether Lotus Sea Snake also froze. The spirit shadow ponderously asked: "How can you remain so calm? Aren’t you afraid?"

Sikong Jing’s calm demeanor was completely out of line with what it expected.

Who, while being bound and transforming into a demon beast, could still be so calm? They should be scared to death.

At that moment, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake felt a peculiar unease...

But Sikong Jing didn’t answer its question, and instead asked: "I have a second question, can you break this stone stool Heavenly Pattern Treasure once you’re free?"

At this question, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake couldn’t help but blink...

It hesitated for a moment, then coldly laughed: "Of course, if we transform completely and use your power, we can break this Heavenly Pattern Treasure, allowing my spirit shadow to no longer be constrained."

It suppressed its inexplicable unease, still thinking Sikong Jing couldn’t have a chance to resist.

And Sikong Jing suddenly realized as well, understanding the Nether Lotus Sea Snake’s plan; it seemed that as a container, it could somehow manage to free itself from the Stone Stool Heavenly Pattern Treasure...

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing added: "I have a third question..."

But this time, before Sikong Jing could finish, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake erupted into anger: "Ask your mother! Don’t forget your current situation, become a half-human snake first and then ask you damn questions."

Constantly asking questions—do I have no dignity?

After speaking, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake prepared to activate the blood just infused into Sikong Jing’s body...

However, at the next moment, its spirit shadow froze.

It widened its snake eyes, dumbfounded, asking Sikong Jing: "Where is my blood? Why can’t I suddenly sense it?"

Indeed, it suddenly couldn’t sense its blood within Sikong Jing.

At the same time, the tense Venerable Ba Lian opened her mouth wide, seemingly understanding something, as if Sikong Jing’s calmness wasn’t a façade and he wasn’t afraid of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake at all?

To this, Sikong Jing replied with a smile: "Your blood seems to have been absorbed by me, care to try another drop?"

Of course he wasn’t afraid...

If it was a complete Nether Lotus Sea Snake in the Holy Martial Stage, he would indeed turn tail and run, but this instance was merely a spirit shadow.

And moreover, confined within the Stone Stool Heavenly Pattern Treasure—he, as the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, could hardly be afraid.

When the Nether Lotus Sea Snake’s blood entered Sikong Jing’s body, it was naturally absorbed by him. Even accidentally gaining further insights into the Nether Lotus Sea Snake’s meridians.

"Absorbed?"

Hearing this, the Nether Lotus Sea Snake stammered, then let out a ghostly wail: "You gotta be kidding, impossible."

And then... buzz!

It adamantly refused to believe and sent out another drop of its blood, viciously striking Sikong Jing and burrowing inside.

Then, it commanded loudly: "Transform for me..."

The words had just fallen when it immediately froze, once again unable to sense it.

It seemed to be watching as Sikong Jing absorbed its blood till it dissolved within him.

And Sikong Jing purposely looked at his belly, lightly smiling: "Still a little hungry, how about another drop?"
