Book 07 Chapter 098.2: The Fly Daoist’s Despair, Part 2
The Mosquito Daoist was already on his last breath, but he still appeared worried.
“Fly Daoist, the Blood Shaman Resentful Spirit is already destroyed. You collected the Blood Shaman’s deity? I don’t want that Blood Shaman’s deity; return my Mosquito Heart to me, and we will part ways,” the Mosquito Daoist said weakly.
“Hah! Hahahahaha! Return your Mosquito Heart? Do you think I am stupid? To think you want your Mosquito Heart back now that it is in my hands! At best, I will let you leave!” the Fly Daoist guffawed while showing a ferocious expression.
Rip!
The Fly Daoist ripped away from the Mosquito Daoist, the two immediately separating.
The Fly Daoist remained as he looked, with faint black flames around his body.
However, the Mosquito Daoist got tossed into the distance. He slumped over, drained of energy, with a large hole in his back; his heart was gone.
“Mosquito Daoist!” The weak Chang Ming rushed over and supported the Mosquito Daoist.
“Cough! Cough! Cough! I mistakenly trusted a vile person. Chang Ming, leave quickly! Ask His Reverence to avenge me. Cough! Cough!” The Mosquito Daoist aged rapidly.
“No. His Reverence can rescue you. This…Mending Heaven Energy! His Reverence’s Mending Heaven Energy!” Although horrified, Chang Ming quickly took out the small bottle Gu Hai gave him and poured the energy into the Mosquito Daoist’s heart position.
The area around the Mosquito Daoist’s heart slowly healed, but he continued to age.
“It’s useless. You don’t know the Fly Daoist and me. We have bodies of darkness, which rely on the guidance of the heart. The heart is the source of our energy. This bottle of Mending Heaven Energy can heal wounds, but it is not enough to create a heart. This bit of Mending Heaven Energy is far from sufficient. Without a heart, I’m just a corpse,” the Mosquito Daoist sighed weakly.
“I brought harm to you,” Chang Ming said, feeling guilty.
Nearby, the Fly Daoist raised his eyebrows, feeling some regret. However, his long-awaited dream dominated his thoughts.
“Mosquito Daoist, don’t blame me. Our hearts are not complete. We can accomplish the Mosquito-Fly Heart of Darkness only by merging them. So, either you die or I die. This is fate; it was destined since long ago,” the Fly Daoist sneered.
“Fly Daoist, I should not have trusted you!” Chang Ming looked at the Fly Daoist with sorrow and fury. He should not have trusted the Fly Daoist.
The Fly Daoist looked at Chang Ming and sneered, “My excellent disciple! Hahaha! Truly my excellent disciple! I initially did not expect to obtain the Mosquito Heart, but you helped me get it! You even helped me get the Blood Shaman’s deity. Do you know, I refused to leave the Corpse Mound World because of the Blood Shaman’s deity? Now that I have obtained this deity, I can use it to reach the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. By then, I will not have to bow even to the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon. Truly my excellent disciple, indeed! Hahahaha!”
After the Fly Daoist spoke, he swallowed the Primal Essence Pearl fused with the Blood Shaman’s deity.
Buzz!
The Fly Daoist’s body shone with a faint crimson light.
“I now have the blood sea domain and the darkness domain, the power of two domains! Hahahahaha!” the Fly Daoist guffawed excitedly.
As the Fly Daoist guffawed, he exuded an aura that shook space. He had reached the peak and was now even stronger than the earlier Blood Shaman Resentful Spirit.
Crack!
Just as the Fly Daoist was feeling cocky, a small hole appeared in his head. Then some faint black energy wafted out of that hole. A corpse worm could be vaguely seen, moving around inside. His body froze, unable to move.
“Wh-what?” The Fly Daoist appeared shocked and horrified.
“Not bad, Fly Daoist. Even I failed to obtain the Blood Shaman’s deity, but you managed to? You even obtained the Heart of Darkness. You will be my strongest subordinate!” A powerful voice came from the Fly Daoist’s forehead.
“The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon? No, Peak-Peak Master! What did you do? Why can’t I move? Ah! There’s a corpse worm in my brain? It’s devouring my brain, trying to control my body? No! No! A corpse worm in my brain? Why is it in my brain?” the Fly Daoist roared as he trembled.
“Have you forgotten? Back when you joined my peak, you ate that Loyalty Pill!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s voice rang out.
“Loyalty Pill? I removed that from my body. Don’t tell me there was a corpse worm in it? You buried a corpse worm in my brain long ago? No!” the Fly Daoist exclaimed.
“You are quite smart!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s voice rang out.
“Peak Master, spare me! Peak Master, spare me! I will always be loyal to you. Don’t destroy my consciousness! Don’t! I’ll be loyal to you!” the Fly Daoist pleaded in horror.
“There’s no need. Rather than trusting you, I trust my corpse worms more. As you have seen, corpse worms control all my subordinates in the Corpse Mound World. You and Lifespan Chunshen are exceptions because I still need your memories. It looks like I was right. The Primal Essence Pearl? The Blood Shaman Resentful Spirit? Also, your ambition? This is good. You have already obtained them and become strong. It is time to control you,” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon said indifferently.
It sounded like the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon had planned all this. The Fly Daoist initially felt happy because of his luck and tricks. Unexpectedly, he had actually long been a dead man.
The Fly Daoist suddenly discovered how lamentable his situation was.
The enemy he had fought for many years worked hard to rescue him earlier, even trusted him unconditionally at the end, and let him take control of his enemy’s life and death.
However, the person he swore loyalty to had sentenced him to death.
“Hah! Hahaha! Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, I was truly blind! Blind!” the Fly Daoist roared in despair.
Buzz! Buzz!
The corpse worm continuously chewed on the Fly Daoist’s brain. He weakened, his resistance failing. His consciousness turned hazy.
“In my name, I give the Heart of Darkness to the Mosquito Daoist! Return to the Mosquito Daoist’s body!” the Fly Daoist called out sorrowfully.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a black light came out of the Fly Daoist’s chest, ripping its way out, before rushing towards the aging Mosquito Daoist’s chest.
Buzz!
The Heart of Darkness entered the Mosquito Daoist’s body. It felt like an injection of boundless life and energy into his dying body, helping him recover quickly.
“How audacious!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon roared furiously.
The Fly Daoist’s body trembled, rapidly aging and declining.
“Hahaha! Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, you want to turn me into a puppet? Even if I die, I will not let you have anything!” the Fly Daoist snarled in a hate-laced voice with a ferocious expression.
“Chang Ming, take back the Primal Essence Pearl, also the Blood Shaman’s deity. Refine them properly! Refine them well!” The Fly Daoist weakly spat out the Primal Essence Pearl and tossed it towards Chang Ming.
Buzz!
The Primal Essence Pearl entered Chang Ming’s forehead.
“You!” Chang Ming trembled as a strange energy filled him. Surging crimson energy poured out from the Blood Shaman’s deity and into his body. He felt his entire body receiving tremendous nourishment.
“Fly Daoist, you are crazy!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s furious voice rang out.
To think the Fly Daoist gave all his energy and everything he had to Chang Ming and the Mosquito Daoist!
“The most correct thing I have ever done in my life is take in a disciple, Chang Ming. Master has failed in teaching you and can only give you the Blood Shaman’s deity. Even the Mosquito Daoist does not know some secrets. When the Primal Essence Pearl merged with the Blood Shaman’s deity, it purified the Blood Shaman’s deity. The Blood Shaman’s deity has become a masterless deity. Anyone can merge with it and refine it into their deity. The deity is a person’s seventh physical soul. One can reach the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm only by having a seventh physical soul. Chang Ming, take care!” the Fly Daoist said weakly.
Chang Ming’s body released a crimson light. When he waved, a blood sea appeared, surrounding the Fly Daoist.
“Mas-Master!” Chang Ming’s face stiffened. He wanted to force out the corpse worm in the Fly Daoist’s forehead. However, the corpse worm had already vanished, leaving only the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s furious voice coming from there.
The Mosquito Daoist had recovered, and faint black flames appeared around him.
“Fly Daoist, you…you gave me the Heart of Darkness?” The Mosquito Daoist gazed at the Fly Daoist in shock.
After all, the Fly Daoist was like the Mosquito Daoist. Without the Fly Heart, the Fly Daoist would die.
“Mosquito Daoist, after fighting for so many years, I finally defeated you once. Hah! Hahaha!” the Fly Daoist laughed weakly.
“To think you can still laugh at this moment. I’ll return your Fly Heart!” the Mosquito Daoist said anxiously.
The weak Fly Daoist grabbed the Mosquito Daoist’s hand. “It’s…it’s already too late. Take care, my eternal rival!”
Boom!
The Fly Daoist’s head suddenly exploded.
“No!” Chang Ming and the Mosquito Daoist exclaimed.
