Chapter 52 - Soul Taming
Chapter 52 – Soul Taming
Rank 2 Violent Corpse Worm Queen. Skill: Mental Shock.
“You have broken my understanding of humans, you are very powerful.”
The moment Violent Corpse Worm Queen woke up, the first thing it did was display its reverence towards Yang Tian. Dark Terror had it understanding how powerful was the human in front of it.
“It is a bond of the soul, I believe we are both of equal standing.”
After Soul Taming, Violent Corpse Worm Queen was able to communicate much more smoothly with Yang Tian now.
“No! I am the master, you are still my slave.”
In Yang Tian’s perspective, all tamed creatures are his slaves, no matter how he tamed them.
“What a joke, this is on the level of the soul, not something you can decide alone. If I self-destruct, you will not be anywhere better.”
“You are free to try it.”
Yang Tian did not show any traces of his emotions being affected when the Violent Corpse Worm Queen threatened him. He reacted as though it was an extremely common matter.
After experiencing Dark Terror, Violent Corpse Worm Queen has already developed a fear that was ingrained in its soul. Moreover, it also did not dare to self-destruct, in front of Yang Tian, it could only lower its proud head.
“I believe… you should know your status!”
“Pfft, you are crazy.”
At that moment, Yang Tian detonated a small portion of his soul; this action dealt a significant blow to the already weakened Violent Corpse Worm Queen.
“I am telling you what is your status now.”
A faint trace of blood flowed out of the corner of Yang Tian’s mouth, but the damage he got was obviously lesser than the Violent Corpse Worm Queen.
“Yes… yes, M… Master.”
Violent Corpse Worm Queen was genuinely terrified of Yang Tian’s actions, the latter was vicious to his enemies, but he was even more vicious to himself. In the eyes of Violent Corpse Worm Queen, Yang Tian was an utter madman. Violent Corpse Worm Queen could not help but submit itself to Yang Tian.
“Now, tell me truthfully. When did you arrive on Earth?”
“I came to Earth a very long time ago but the moment I arrived, Earth experienced a catastrophic blow and I had no other choice but to enter deep hibernation. I only woke up after Earth’s magnetic field experienced a change.”
“What did Earth looked like when you first arrived? Who ruled over Earth at that time?”
“I lost a lot of memories during the hibernation and I am unable to recall. However, I am very sure that humans did not exist at that time.”
The Violent Corpse Worm Queen had arrived on Earth even before humans were born. If that were the case, then would it meant that before the Apocalypse, there was already a passage connecting Earth and the Insect World.
Other than the Violent Corpse Worm Queen and the Violent Corpse Worms, there was also the remains of another creature.
Rank 2 Mutated Beast, Flame Yak
The Violent Corpse Worm produced by the Queen would possess the corresponding element of the creatures that it consumed. By consuming the Flame Yak, these batch of Violent Corpse Worms would undoubtedly possess the Fire Element. Also, they would also have inherited the Flame Yak’s strength and endurance.
The lifeforms that formed a symbiotic relationship with this batch of Violent Corpse Worms will also possess those traits.
The Violent Corpse Worm Queen was currently Rank 2, and it devoured a Rank 2 Flame Yak. So the Violent Corpse Worms it produced were Rank 2 as well.
“You must be greatly depleted from producing this batch?”
Under normal circumstances, a Violent Corpse Worm Queen would only produce Violent Corpse Worms that were lower in rank then itself, and rarely those at the same level. On top of consuming enormous amounts of energy, to produce the Violent Corpse Worms with the same rank also places a significant burden on the Queen.
“They are originally my first batch of subordinates, it is a pity we were discovered by you.”
Yang Tian checked the Violent Corpse Worms and counted seventeen, this also meant there were seventeen Rank 2 Creatures. During this period when the Post-Apocalyptic Era had just started, it was undoubtedly a terrifying strength.
“Swoosh Swoosh”
The Violent Corpse Worms all entered the body of the Queen, indiscernible from the outside that Violent Corpse Worms were hiding within the Queen.
“Come here.”
It was impossible that Yang Tian will allow the Violent Corpse Worm Queen to be exposed. Therefore, his left arm became the place for the Violent Corpse Worm Queen to reside in.
“Here? Let me stay in your heart where I can give you even more power and strength, you can even use my power whenever you like.”
Violent Corpse Worm Queen could not help but try to delude Yang Tian.
However, Yang Tian had no intention of borrowing the power of the Violent Corpse Worm Queen. The latter was able to give its host power way beyond a regular Violent Corpse Worm, but the body would subconsciously develop a reliance on the Violent Corpse Worm Queen’s power. It was something that Yang Tian will never allow.
“You still did not know? What I need is your ability to control Violent Corpse Worms, not the power you can bestow.”
Violent Corpse Worm Queen was still unresigned, it could not help but give up and obediently hide inside Yang Tian’s left arm.
Many creatures dream of forming a symbiotic relationship with a Violent Corpse Worm Queen, but Yang Tian could not be bothered about it.
“Boss, where is that round ball worm?”
“It is in here.”
Yang Tian lifted his left arm in front of Xu Dafu, but the next moment, Xu Dafu felt as though his brain had received a hammering blow.
“Ah…”
Xu Dafu grabbed his head in pain.
“It says, don’t call it a… round ball worm.”
Without a doubt, Xu Dafu had just experienced the Mental Shock of Violent Corpse Worm Queen. Fortunately, the latter knew how to restrain itself or else the defenseless Xu Dafu might turn into an idiot due to the attack.
“Where is the worm egg that he took earlier?”
“He ate it.”
The Violent Corpse Worm Queen was startled for a moment but it knew that it cannot attack Xu Dafu again, or Yang Tian will not respond in kindly.
“Boss, get it to come out. See how I beat it to death.”
“That’s enough, time to return.”
They rode Dark Crimson Fire Wolf and quickly returned to the Manor.
“These creatures are all very powerful, do you want to bestow them with some power?”
“They are all my subordinates, you are not allowed to touch them without my permission.”
Violent Corpse Worm Queen wanted to implant the Violent Corpse Worms inside Brain-Eating Terror Hog and the rest, but the notion was immediately rejected by Yang Tian.
The Violent Corpse Worms was indeed capable of enhancing the power of creatures, but it would also cause their host to develop a reliance on the power given. Once the Violent Corpse Worm leaves the host, many problems would appear on the host’s body.
Strength and effort are relative.
“Boss, Xiao Xiao is asleep.”
Yang Tian entered the small house and had to see it for himself that Xiao Xiao was in a deep sleep before he could relax and rest as well.
“You are a king in the Insect World, do you have any specific recovery method?”
“I do, but other species would not be able to use it.”
Violent Corpse Worm Queen’s tone was cautious as it thought Yang Tian was interested in its secret arts.
“I am not interested in your secret arts, I only want to know your status and ranking in the Insect World!”
“I might as well tell you. Us, Violent Corpse Worms is the number one tribe in the Insect World. I may only be Rank 2, but I possess the greatest bloodline in my species, even when other Violent Corpse Worm Queens see me… they…”
Violent Corpse Worm Queen started to notice that it had spoken too much and immediately stopped talking.
From the information, Yang Tian was able to obtain a clue; this Violent Corpse Worm Queen’s identity is not simple. He reckons that it is likely not an ordinary Violent Corpse Worm Queen.
Yang Tian also knew that the Violent Corpse Worm Queen would no longer continue speaking so he closed his eyes to start cultivating Purple Sun Divine Art.
