CapĂtulo 2181: Chapter 2180: Northern Secrets, the All-Devouring Worms
âWhat great secret?â Xu Zimei asked with interest.
He was indeed very curious about the situation in the north.
The Holy Court has gone to great lengths, not hesitating to use an entire domain as an experiment. What are they actually cultivating?
âActually, I didnât see it very clearly,â replied Nine Snack True Man.
âBecause it was too dangerous at the time. The people of the Holy Court were chasing me, I didnât even have time to react before my soul was almost shattered.â
âLuckily, my clan has this secret technique, the Golden Snake Shedding.â
Even though a long time had passed, Nine Snack True Man was still somewhat shaken.
He continued, âAlthough I only caught a glimpse of it, I could still see that enormous creature clearly.â
âIt was a gigantic monster.â
âJust by glancing at me, I felt as if my soul was about to freeze.â
âWhat kind of monster?â Xu Zimei asked.
Nine Snack True Man frowned slightly, pondering for a long time before saying, âI canât remember, itâs an indescribable feeling.â
âYouâre missing memories?â Xu Zimei frowned slightly.
With a wave of his hand, a powerful force enveloped Nine Snack True Man.
Generally speaking, for an existence with powerful abilities, erasing someoneâs memory is quite a simple matter.
Take Xu Zimei, for example; he could easily erase the memories of Old Sun or even Nine Snack True Man.
The two of them absolutely wouldnât remember their experiences.
Just that Nine Snack True Manâs memory was not thoroughly erased; perhaps they didnât expect Golden Snake Shedding would be a factor.
Under the cover of Xu Zimeiâs immense power, Nine Snack True Man didnât dare resist.
He prostrated on the ground, letting Xu Zimei search through his memories.
When Xu Zimei entered the consciousness sea of Nine Snack True Man, he utilized the power of tracing origins.
He began to climb the River of Fate of Nine Snack True Man.
This River of Fate is where everyoneâs life record is, essentially everyone has their own River of Fate.
Xu Zimeiâs River of Fate has long since broken free of the Nine Domains Worldâs control, returning to his Divine Continent.
But others still need to depend on the Nine Domains World.
After finding the River of Fate of Nine Snack True Man, Xu Zimei treaded upon it, searching through his memories.
From the time Nine Snack True Man met Old Sun until his soul was about to dissipate.
But after walking a journey, Xu Zimei finally understood why Nine Snack True Manâs memory was lacking.
It was apparent that a section of his River of Fate, which pertained to memories, was being corroded and devoured by a blue-green power.
This power was incredibly strong, continuously eroding Nine Snack True Manâs memories.
If left unrestrained, Nine Snack True Manâs River of Fate would eventually be entirely eroded.
By that time, Nine Snack True Man would truly become a person without a past, a future, or even a present.
As a person without identity, he wouldnât need others to intervene; by then, the Heavenly Dao would erase Nine Snack True Man.
âŠâŠ
Xu Zimei acted, preparing to see what exactly was devouring the River of Fate.
Itâs important to know that erasing someoneâs memory from the River of Fate to cause mere amnesia is easy.
But to silently and completely destroy a person by devouring the River of Fate is no simple task.
Even as Xu Zimei, he may not necessarily be able to do it.
This must be some special ability.
Xu Zimei waved his hand, his formidable power surged forth.
When the power was abundant, it turned into torrents, beginning to clear the corrosive elements on the River of Fate.
Those corrosive elements seemed to have consciousness.
When Xu Zimeiâs attack arrived, the surface corrosion elements were cleared, revealing a swarm of little bugs underneath.
These bugs were about the size of an index finger, but appeared fierce and intimidating, as if they could devour everything.
When Xu Zimeiâs attack landed on the bugs, there were two âbangâ sounds, and the attack was completely bounced off.
Xu Zimei looked at the bugs with interest.
He waved his hand again, his powerful force directly immobilizing the bugs, capturing them in his palm.
The bugs struggled ceaselessly.
Though they were fierce, they were still somewhat lacking in front of Xu Zimei.
Upon careful observation, Xu Zimei could almost confirm that he had never seen such a species before.
These bugs could devour all things.
Subsequently, Xu Zimei directly brought this creature to the Divine Continent.
Nowadays, the path of technology on the Divine Continent is quite prosperous and can gradually study this bug.
Afterward, Xu Zimei glanced at the River of Fate of Nine Snack True Man, and that section of memory had already been devoured and could not be replenished.
It was somewhat regrettable.
He returned to the outside world, and at this moment, Nine Snack True Man was just waking up.
In fact, when Xu Zimei was fighting with the Corrosion Bugs, Nine Snack True Man had remained unconscious.
Now awake, Nine Snack True Man felt an indescribable comfort.
Although he had always been feeding on blood meals these days, progress had been slow, and he always felt something was off about his body.
Now that the ill effects on the River of Fate were cleared, he finally felt completely unburdened.
He knew it must be Xu Zimei who had helped him.
Nine Snack True Man hurriedly expressed gratitude, âThank you, Demon Lord. I am but a worthless life, you can kill or let me be as you wish.â
âNow youâve faced life and death, arenât you asking for mercy?â Xu Zimei retorted.
âWhat does it matter if I donât look at life and death? Itâs all at your discretion,â Nine Snack True Man replied.
âThe enormous creature you saw, was it insect-shaped?â Xu Zimei asked again.
âIâm not too sure,â Nine Snack True Man didnât dare to speak recklessly.
âIf you wish, I can investigate it for you again.â
âI know you want to live,â Xu Zimei replied.
âI will personally make a trip to the north.â
âI not only want to live, but I also wish to follow you,â Nine Snack True Man said eagerly.
âI have always admired the Demon Race, but Iâve never had a chance to join. Meeting you is a great fortune.â
âPlease take me with you,â Old Sun hurried over and knelt down, saying.
âOur Sun Family has worshipped the Demon Race for generations. Even in the current situation, we have never abandoned our faith.â
âFollowing me, you might face life-threatening dangers,â Xu Zimei stated flatly.
âWe are willing to take the lead for you,â Nine Snack True Man quickly responded.
âShould danger arise, we will die first.â
Though these two might be burdens, Xu Zimei found them interesting.
So he asked, âDo you truly want to follow me?â
âAbsolutely,â Nine Snack True Man looked up, his eyes firm, then carefully inquired.
âIs your return to reclaim the Catastrophe Demon Domain?â
âWhat if I do reclaim it?â Xu Zimei countered.
âItâs something with no meaning anymore.â
âIf you can reclaim the Catastrophe Demon Domain, it would deal a significant blow to the Holy Court,â Nine Snack True Man said.
