718: Chapter 131: Seed of Calamity (4) 718: Chapter 131: Seed of Calamity (4) It’s unclear when the sky completely darkened.

Nagato Munachika plummeted into the Nagato family’s old mansion — before this, he had endured a heavy punch from a Demi-Demon wearing a fiery red robe.

He crashed effortlessly through the roof beam, then broke through the floor.

As Nagato Munachika got up, he spat out a mouthful of thick blood.

So strong.

That was his only feeling in his heart.

No… it wasn’t that the opponent was too strong, but that he was continuously becoming weaker!

Nagato Munachika struggled to look at his hand — starting from there, the fingers on his hand began to show signs of fading without him realizing when it began.

It will disappear…

An inexplicable fear made Nagato Munachika feel insignificant.

At this moment, the threat from that Demi-Demon and the Samurai still existed… he absolutely could not fall here.

Staggering, Nagato Munachika quickly groped forward.

Shortly after his escape, two figures simultaneously descended at the hole in the roof.

Zhuifeng was staring at the pit created by Nagato Munachika, while Mo Xiaofei was looking around, seemingly sensing something. “Zhuifeng, how do you feel?” Mo Xiaofei suddenly glanced at Zhuifeng at this time, noticing his slightly pale face. “A bit tired.” Zhuifeng didn’t hide it, directly saying: “Earlier, my power increased, which counts as a Secret Technique, so there’s a price to pay of course.

Also, because I am inherently not strong enough!

But big brother, I will definitely work harder on my training in the future!”

Mo Xiaofei just smiled and said nothing, casually patting Zhuifeng’s shoulder and then ruffling his hair.

Whether in the main world or in this Yan Wuyue World, Mo Xiaofei’s appearance was significantly older than Zhuifeng. “Strange, I really can’t smell that weird guy’s scent?” Zhuifeng frowned at this moment, “It’s like he suddenly vanished?”

Mo Xiaofei nodded and said: “In fact, I also feel like he vanished into thin air, but I think I might know where he went back to…

Since he eventually escaped back to the Nagato house, he probably had nowhere else to go but that place.

Zhuifeng, be careful later.

In this Nagato house, there should still be something terrifying!

Follow me!”

Where Mo Xiaofei was heading, naturally, was the Nagato family’s dungeon! …

There are two passages in the dungeon.

Nagato Munachika stumbled his way and finally opened the entrance to the dungeon.

When he reached the fork in the road, he vaguely heard sounds coming from the direction leading to the ‘Eternal Palace’.

He knew what was happening there at this moment, but he had no intention to find out.

He chose the other direction.

Supporting himself against the wall, every step was an extremely heavy burden for Nagato Munachika…

Watching the fading marks already spreading to his arms, the anxiety and unease on his face became even more apparent.

I won’t die…

I am the strongest…

Faith supported this gradually fading body — when Nagato Munachika reached the end of the passage, he reached out to touch a certain block on the wall.

The wall at the end automatically contracted to the sides, and Nagato Munachika took a deep breath, quickly walking inside, not even planning to close it.

He knew that the temporarily formed team of the Demi-Demon and the Samurai was relentlessly pursuing behind, and he couldn’t waste any moment!

I won’t lose…

Abandoning the human body…

I absolutely won’t lose!

Blue fire orbs appeared one after another along Nagato Munachika’s path.

The floor here was polished smooth, and all around, numerous wooden beams were added for support.

At the entrance at the end of the passage, there were faint streaks of mist-like blue gases, slowly flowing.

Whether due to illusion or not, when immersed in these blue mists, Nagato Munachika felt a noticeable mental uplift.

In front of him was a square pool, filled with black, mud-like substance, and in the center of this square pool, there was a woman’s corpse.

Her entire body was already naked, yet what was exposed was not beautiful skin, but flesh that seemed to be corroded by something!

Before the woman’s death, she was probably in extreme terror, her half-preserved face showing a horrifying expression that would make anyone break into a cold sweat at first glance…

This is indeed Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto, one of the Munakata Three Goddesses, who was recently captured by Nagato Munachika!

At this moment, Ichikujikunohime-no-Mikoto’s corpse is ‘floating’ on the black substance of the square pool, her wide-open eyes staring straight above.

However, Nagato Munachika doesn’t even glance at it, his body has further faded and become very weak.

He can’t even stand up, the simplest action.

Half of his body is already leaning against the edge of the square pool, and he stretches out his hand into the black substance, trying hard to scoop something out of it!

A low exclamation is heard! “What on earth is this thing!”

Nagato Munachika barely turns his head and looks at the duo—a demi-demon and a samurai—who have appeared behind him, suddenly letting out a sinister laugh…

He’s almost found it!

Just a little more time, just a tiny bit of time… “This is the biggest secret of the Nagato House.” Nagato Munachika looks at these two who want to take his life and says in a deep voice, “Surprised?

The great research of my Nagato House!

The true secret technique of the Nagato House!”

Mo Xiaofei’s face turns grim.

His sharp eyes have already seen the terrible state of the goddess in the square pool—he has never seen such cruel methods, “You… what did you do to her!” “It’s just about letting ‘it’ devour fresh flesh and blood.” Nagato Munachika sneers, “Only by continuously devouring fresh flesh and blood can ‘it’ maintain a certain degree of vitality and prevent its true death.” “It?” Zhuifeng frowns at this moment, “The monster’s aura that’s filling this room is very similar to yours…

Is this the source of your power?” “Exactly!” Nagato Munachika laughs heartily, “My ancestor once participated in the hunt for a powerful fox!

After the fox died, it was torn apart!

Its soul was sealed and taken away by a powerful Onmyoji.

As my ancestor had contributions, he was rewarded with the land of Zaodao Village.

However!

My Nagato family suffered great casualties back then, and in the end, only exchanged for such a small piece of land, whereas the Kondo family’s samurais or other prestigious families, who were just helping to cheer, received great rewards!

The Nagato family was indignant!

But, what nobody expected was that at the place where we fought the fox, we found ‘it’!”

Zhuifeng has no interest in the past antics of the Nagato House, only in ‘it’, “What is ‘it’ exactly!” “A heart!” Nagato Munachika’s face bears a trace of fanaticism, “No one could have imagined that the fox’s heart was obtained by the Nagato House!

And it was a heart that was still beating!

After generations of research, we finally found a way to gain tremendous power from this heart!”

At this point, Nagato Munachika tears off the remaining fragments of his clothing!

His abdomen is exposed, revealing a centipede-like wound!

Nagato Munachika, as if possessed, laughs crazily, “See?

Just by putting the fox’s heart’s flesh into one’s body, the Nagato House can gain great power!” “You actually devoured the monster’s flesh…” Zhuifeng looks at Nagato Munachika, a sudden, instinctive killing intent appearing.

Yet, in an instant, the scene that occurred at the roadside teahouse shortly after arriving in the Yan Wuyue World flashes in Zhuifeng’s mind… the faces looking at him in terror. —”Please… don’t eat me.” “Monsters can eat humans, so why can’t humans eat monsters!!” Nagato Munachika roars!

Monsters eating humans exists both in the real world and in Yan Wuyue.

Since monsters can eat humans, why can’t humans eat monsters?

Zhuifeng’s shoulders suddenly feel heavy and find that Mo Xiaofei has forcefully slapped him on the back.

Startled, Zhuifeng realizes that at some point, cold sweat had broken out on his back.

He takes a deep breath, nods towards Mo Xiaofei, and murmurs, “Big brother, I’m fine…

Just feeling that we really shouldn’t…” “We’ll talk later.” Mo Xiaofei says firmly, “Right now, our enemy is him!”

Mo Xiaofei stares intently at Nagato Munachika.

After resetting for a year, due to the disparity in strength, he could never know the truth from Nagato Munachika’s mouth, but now the opportunity is the best, and he doesn’t want to miss it. “Nagato Munachika… the elders in the village who suddenly died were said to have died due to a curse, but in fact… they were used by you to feed what’s in this pool… that fox’s heart, right!”

Nagato Munachika gives Mo Xiaofei a surprised look, not knowing the samurai’s origins, but still snorts coldly, “The weak have only the value of becoming food.”

Mo Xiaofei clenches his fists in anger, “What about the ‘Eternal Palace’!” “How can the flesh and blood of ordinary people be enough to keep ‘it’ vital?

We need a large amount of strong things to feed ‘it’!” Nagato Munachika says indifferently, “The black market is filled with materials taken from hunted monsters, and that’s the good stuff to feed it.

But this requires a lot of wealth.

The existence of the ‘underground palace’ naturally came about.

On the other hand, through copulation, men and women who fall into the abyss of ecstasy emit a kind of… Forget it, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained!” “Nagato Munachika!!” Suddenly veins bulge on Mo Xiaofei’s forehead, a tremendous pressure radiates from the center of his body, “You dare…”

Zhuifeng also felt a heaviness in his body, unsure of where this pressure was coming from, only sensing it was definitely related to his elder brother.

But Nagato Munachika suddenly stood up, laughing wildly, “Foolish ones, do you think I told you all this for no reason… I’ve found ‘it’!!”

Munachika stood, holding a heart the size of four fists in his palm… black substances still emanated from the heart’s blood vessels, and more frighteningly, the heart was still beating! “Sure enough, it’s the goddess’s flesh, not yet fully nurtured, and it beats so fiercely!

You’ve never been this fresh… even just a piece of fox heart flesh has granted me immense power!

If I were to completely devour it…” Munachika’s mouth suddenly split open, his voice sharp to the point of losing its original tone, “What kind of immense power will I gain!!”

He lunged madly at the beating heart!

Yet, Munachika suddenly felt his palm lighten, and the heart he was about to bite disappeared… impossible!

Munachika stood aghast, staring blankly ahead… the fox’s heart now ascended in mid-air, then fell, ultimately landing into another palm—into the palm of the demi-demon… into Zhuifeng’s hand. “Are you an idiot?

Did you forget Zhuifeng the Great’s speed?” Zhuifeng triumphantly held the heart in his palm, before flipping Munachika the third finger in succession, “You stupid old fool!” “My heart!

Give it back!!” “Pah, this thing!” Zhuifeng spat, then threw the heart to the ground, without hesitation, he stomped down!

Just like stomping on a watermelon… In an instant, the beating fox heart was crushed by Zhuifeng, pieces of black substance scattered with shattered flesh! “My heart… give it back… ahhhhh!!!”

Munachika rushed forward madly, but rather than attacking, he fell to the ground, “My heart!!

Mine!!

It’s all mine!!!”

He began picking up the shattered flesh from the ground, like a starving man, stuffing it crazily into his mouth! “He’s gone mad.” Zhuifeng frowned, looking at him, Munachika, however, seemed pitiful… but simultaneously his body began fading again!

This time the fading caught Mo Xiaofei and Zhuifeng’s attention as well.

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed… the entire underground palace began shaking violently! “It’s… coming from the Eternal Palace side!” “Brother, it seems like it’s about to collapse!”

Both spoke almost simultaneously.

Mo Xiaofei frowned but said nothing, directly rushing out, Zhuifeng had no time to ask but followed without hesitation. “Save me!

Save me…”

Behind, came Munachika’s weak voice, Zhuifeng glanced back to see Munachika lying on the ground, his body almost completely faded, reaching out… “Stop grabbing, no one will offer you a hand.” Zhuifeng said without turning back, “You won’t hold onto anything.”

Shattered stones directly fell on Munachika, burying him. … …

White flesh intertwined constantly before his eyes.

No matter how many times he’d seen it, Nagato Shinji always felt these scenes were extraordinarily ugly.

But there was no choice; this was his father’s command… the ultimate power of a father over his son.

Perhaps, already too numb, even though Shinji loathed this place, he didn’t resist.

Maybe after he marries and has children, inherits the family business, he will command his descendants so… What is the splendid feeling of controlling a family?

Shinji looked at the beads in his hand.

It’s said the ancestors found this place and these beads during their discovery, which can capture the pleasure’s power from the union of man and woman.

Why Nagato Munachika desperately needed this bead’s power was a mystery.

Perhaps when he truly inherits the Nagato House, he will unveil this bead’s secret and become strong as his father? “Mm ah…”

Lewd sounds rose from the ground, a village woman nearly entirely lost her sense, now clinging to Shinji’s leg, with a blank smile, extending her tongue.

Snort!

He snorted coldly, kicking the woman away.

Yet, she remained oblivious, grabbing eagerly at what she fancied, seemingly crazed… caught in a man’s ecstasy.

Women are indeed just tools.

Shinji shook his head. “Ah… Miss Tsuruko, is that you… mm… ah… feels so good…”

Suddenly, Shinji heard Ah Xiu’s voice, startled with a bad premonition, instinctively glancing towards the underground palace entrance.

Nagato Tsuruko stood silently holding a book at the entrance.

Before her, Ah Xiu cried mournfully beneath a frenzied man, seeming to brim with joy.

Body sprawled on the ground, Ah Xiu fiercely raised her head, grasping the floor, eyes unfocused, “Miss Tsuruko… join us… Miss Tsuruko… feels so good…”

Pak—!

The book Tsuruko was holding dropped at some point.

She took a step back slowly.

She let out a scream… Thus, the entire underground palace began to shake!

The old residence of the Nagato Clan suddenly crumbled, the supports of the cell above couldn’t hold, stones fell… collapsing, a large hole straight through to the ground from the Eternal Palace opened.

Outside, a high-hung full moon. … “Why is this happening… this place exactly!”

Relying on memory, Mo Xiaofei used his powers to block the falling earth and stones, until reaching the palace entrance, “Nagato Tsuruko… why are you here?”

Wasn’t this child unconscious? “Brother, who is this?” Zhuifeng frowned, asking.

Mo Xiaofei, however, worriedly crouched down, shaking Tsuruko’s shoulders but saw her eyes lifelessly raise her head, seemingly seeing nothing… eyes had lost focus, empty. “Dead woman?” Zhuifeng was startled, subconsciously exclaiming “why’ve you become so small…”

Zhuifeng didn’t feel he’d mistakenly recognized, even if she appeared younger than the witch he knew, he recognized instantly.

Meanwhile, wisps of green demonic power emitted from Tsuruko.

These tendrils of demonic power were far denser… far purer than Munachika!
