Chapter 2366 - Back to Night Charm (1/2)

Katcha!

The green light flashed. Hell King’s head was cut off.

The strange woman was stunned. She stared at the man who looked so skinny, clutching that green sword. All the other creatures around them were dead.

The woman squinted, trying to remember exactly what had happened when she came out of the black stone. She remembered that the skinny man had been in the stone factory when she emerged. He would have been the one she killed first.

But now that she thought about it, she didn’t remember actually killing him; he had been too ordinary to keep her attention. She just tossed some red light his way and ignored him.

“He isn’t dead?” The strange woman looked at the man, who was smiling as he held the green sword. For some reason, when she saw his smile, the woman wanted to smile with him. It was like his smile was contagious.

The woman looked at Ning Yue and said, “You are not bad. If you ally with me, you can use my deified powers. Then, you can become defied as well. Unstoppable. You will become the greatest in the universe.”

Ning Yue smiled and didn’t answer. He walked slowly toward the woman.

“You don’t believe me?” The woman looked intently at Ning Yue’s face. She knew she should be wary, but she couldn’t resist that infectious smile. She found herself treating him as a friend rather than a foe.

“I believe you,” Ning Yue said seriously.

The woman looked relieved. Somehow, what Ning Yue said felt incredibly trustworthy. His words seemed rock-steady, as if whatever he said had to be a universal truth.

The woman sighed, and just as she was about to respond, Ning Yue used the little green sword to lop her head off.

The woman’s head rolled across the ground, with her red eyes still staring at Ning Yue as if she couldn’t believe what he had just done.

Ning Yue sighed and said, “I believe you can give me power, but I cannot beat the one I wish to with power alone. I need to take this step by step, my way, before I can stand before him.”

Ning Yue wiped his little green sword. In his mind, he was still standing in that man’s shadow. Determination flashed through Ning Yue’s eyes. Then they became calm again. He walked up to the bodies of the strange woman and Hell King.

…

Han Sen maintained his claim on the primary root king dragon to absorb the king air. He stayed there for a whole month.

The blood kirin also absorbed a lot of king air, and over the month of training, he healed fully. Over the same period of time, Han Sen managed to get five hundred Duke genes.

But The Story of Genes could only open three gene locks before it stopped. As for the rest of the Duke genes Han Sen collected, he used them to open the gene locks of Jadeskin and the Blood-Pulse Sutra.

Jadeskin seemed to have the same limit of three gene locks.

“Opening the first gene lock grants an astral body. Opening the second gene lock provides a celestial body. Opening the third gene lock provides something above a celestial body. The third body feels different from a celestial body, but I can’t pinpoint exactly what that difference is.” Han Sen was amazed by the results of opening the third gene lock, even if he didn’t fully understand what had happened.
