I Created a Containment Object at the Start, and Became a God

36: The empty mulberry jade silkworm body!Li Songzhou suppressed the excitement in his heart, but the slight tremor in his fingertips betrayed him—even though he had wielded this power for several days, each time he used it, he was still awed by its vast might.

The monitoring room was already in an uproar. Li Songqi suddenly grabbed his cousin Li Songlan’s arm: ”Did you see that? Cousin, was that... a superpower?!”

”So cool!” Li Songlan’s eyes were full of envy. ”If only we could...”

The younger generation of disciples gathered around the screen, discussing animatedly, their voices filled with astonishment and longing.

Only Li Jingyao and his siblings looked surprised—though they had long known of the existence of supernatural powers, witnessing their nephew wield such a miraculous ability still sent chills down their spines.

Li Xiaohan’s hand, gripping his crutch, trembled slightly. This centenarian knew better than anyone that his sudden recovery and his grandson’s newfound power were both boons from the lord of the heavens.

”Big brother is amazing!” Li Songyun happily tugged at her mother’s sleeve, a blush spreading across her pale face. ”Now we won’t have to be afraid of those bad guys anymore!”

Gu Minghui forced a smile as she stroked her daughter’s hair, but her eyes held a hidden worry—whether her child gaining this power was a good or bad thing.

Li Jingting struggled to shake off the remaining restraints on his body. As his silkworm body violently twisted, his white jade carapace emitted a harsh grinding sound.

He stared at Li Songzhou in disbelief: ”I didn’t expect you to also gain supernatural power... Where did you—” His voice abruptly stopped as he suddenly realized something and turned to White Tiger. ”It’s you!”

He was utterly horrified—to gain power, he had not hesitated to sacrifice his wife and countless riches to the Monkey God Sect, only to obtain a contract with the Kongsang Jade Silkworm.

And this nephew, who had always detested evil cults, could actually control spatial power?!

White Tiger’s mouth curved into a sinister grin, and his body suddenly twisted and expanded! The moment his black robe tore, a pair of fleshy wings covered with human-face patterns unfurled with a roar.

Before Li Jingting could react, he was brutally kicked in the face by that scale-covered giant claw, his bloated silkworm body smashing through an entire alloy wall!

”It really is you!” Li Jingting crawled out of the rubble, the compound eyes on his silkworm abdomen flashing wildly.

He suddenly spat out a sky full of silkworm threads, each strand glowing with corrosive green light. ”I’m going to turn all of you into nutrients!”

White Tiger, however, simply spread his wings, and the hundreds of human faces on them simultaneously opened their mouths, emitting a soul-shattering shriek!

The sound wave struck the silkworm threads like a physical force, shattering them into dust.

The spatial imprint on Li Songzhou’s palm suddenly lit up.

He seized the moment White Tiger was repelled by the sound wave and retreated, suddenly activating a spatial warp—White Tiger’s figure vanished into thin air, only to reappear from the shadow behind Li Jingting the next second!

”Wh—” Before Li Jingting’s compound eyes could turn to his back, White Tiger’s sharp claws had already torn through the air, aiming straight for the vital point of the silkworm’s abdomen.

In the nick of time, Li Songzhou activated his ability again, teleporting both White Tiger’s claw attack and Li Jingting’s hastily defensive silkworm threads into mid-air!

The corrosive silkworm threads and the dark-gold claw shadow collided ten meters high, exploding into a cloud of dark green poisonous mist.

”Good teamwork.” White Tiger grinned as he brushed past Li Songzhou, their figures crossing.

Li Jingting seized the opportunity to spray out an overwhelming deluge of cocoons, instantly transforming the entire basement into a white jade prison.

But Li Songzhou had already anticipated it, joining his hands to activate a large-scale spatial displacement.

All the cocoons suddenly appeared directly above Li Jingting’s head, heavily pressing down on his bloated body!

White Tiger seized the chance to soar into the air, the human faces on his wings chanting in unison, as dark-red energy condensed into a spinning vortex at his claw tips.

”Now!” Following White Tiger’s roar, Li Songzhou slammed his spatial imprint onto the ground.

The floor beneath Li Jingting suddenly collapsed into a black hole, while White Tiger’s claw strike simultaneously descended from above!

In this pincer attack, Li Jingting’s silkworm armor emitted a grating, shattering sound, and white jade fragments mixed with green bodily fluid splattered everywhere.

Broken armor scattered, and the dust had not yet settled.

Li Songzhou knelt on one knee, the spatial imprint on his palm still glowing with a faint blue afterglow.

He gasped for breath, looking at Li Jingting’s shattered body after being caught between the black hole and the tiger’s claws—his silkworm armor completely destroyed, green bodily fluid pooling into a foul-smelling puddle.

”It’s over...” he murmured.

White Tiger, however, retracted his blood-stained wings, his pupils slightly narrowed, and said in a low voice: ”Not necessarily. Perhaps—it’s just beginning now.”

Li Jingting’s bloated, mangled body suddenly convulsed, a hoarse wail squeezed from his throat: ”No... don’t! Don’t devour my soul!”

His distorted face seemed to be kneaded by an invisible hand, features displaced, as if countless tiny worms wriggled beneath his skin.

The massive body thrashed wildly, shattering the surrounding floor tiles, green bodily fluid splashing like rain.

Li Songzhou’s heart tightened: ”What’s wrong with him?”

White Tiger landed, his tone as calm as a pronouncement: ”He pledged his soul to the Kongsang Jade Silkworm in exchange for a moment of fierce power. Now... the true owner has come to collect the debt.”

Before his words finished, Li Jingting’s struggles ceased abruptly.

His bloated flesh collapsed and withered at a visible speed, its color changing from sickly green to grayish-white, as if all moisture and vitality had been instantly drained. Then—

Crack, crack.

Amidst a crisp, tearing sound, a pale arm ripped open the shriveled chest from the inside out.

Its fingers were long and slender, its joints covered in translucent white silk. Then came the second hand, and then the entire body—

A ’person’ woven from jade-white silkworm threads slowly emerged.

It had no facial features, only a smooth curve on its face, but a vertical slit opened in the center of its head, like an unblinking third eye.

Viscous silken fluid dripped from the Silkworm-Human’s body, turning into wisps of white smoke upon touching the ground, emitting a faint hissing sound.

The air suddenly dropped ten degrees.

Li Songzhou instinctively took half a step back. White Tiger’s wings spread again, and the human faces on them chanted in unison.

The Silkworm-Human tilted its head slightly, and that vertical slit gently opened—

A dark, black pupil emerged from the pure white, gazing at Li Songzhou and White Tiger.

There were no words, but an invisible pressure enveloped them.

An invisible mental shock wave surged, and Li Songzhou instantly felt his head splitting, kneeling on one knee, blood oozing from his nose and mouth.

The human faces on White Tiger’s wings simultaneously let out ear-piercing shrieks, forming a mental barrier to barely resist.

”This is... the true form of the Kongsang Jade Silkworm?” Li Songzhou wiped away the nosebleed, struggling to stand. ”It’s much stronger than Li Jingting...”

White Tiger’s skin cracked in pieces under the mental impact, yet he revealed an excited smile: ”If I can drain its blood... I can break through to C-rank!”

He licked his fangs; the UMA he had hunted during this period had already brought his power close to its critical limit.

”Still thinking about draining blood at a time like this?” Li Songzhou shook his head helplessly, but his hands didn’t stop moving, the spatial imprint beginning to glow.

”What’s there not to think about?” White Tiger grinned. ”Teleport me behind it!”

Li Songzhou took a deep breath, then abruptly clapped his hands together.

A spatial rift opened beneath White Tiger’s feet, instantly teleporting him behind the Silkworm-Human.

White Tiger’s sharp claws, imbued with dark-red energy, aimed straight for the Silkworm-Human’s back, but were entangled by suddenly appearing cocoon threads before they could touch!

The Silkworm-Human didn’t turn its head, yet that vertical pupil eerily appeared on the back of its neck, coldly staring at White Tiger. Countless cocoon threads burst from the ground, wrapping White Tiger into a cocoon!

”White Tiger!” Li Songzhou was about to rescue him when he saw the cocoon suddenly vibrate violently. Dark-gold light pierced through from within, accompanied by White Tiger’s wild laughter:

”Hahaha... just as I wished!”

The cocoon exploded, and White Tiger was covered in blood, but he was biting into a thick silkworm blood vessel! The Silkworm-Human made a sound for the first time—like the rustling of a thousand silkworms simultaneously eating mulberry leaves.

Li Songzhou seized the opportunity to activate the maximum range spatial displacement.

The entire basement’s gravity field suddenly reversed, and all objects ’fell’ towards the ceiling.

The Silkworm-Human was caught off guard and flung into the air, while White Tiger took the chance to pounce, his sharp claws deeply piercing its chest!

”Now!” White Tiger roared. Li Songzhou immediately deactivated his ability, and gravity returned to normal. Their coordination was seamless; White Tiger used the momentum of the fall to smash the Silkworm-Human fiercely into the ground!

As the dust settled, White Tiger’s mouth was full of jade-white silkworm blood, and a large hole had been torn in the Silkworm-Human’s chest, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out—it was entirely filled with wriggling silkworm eggs!
