Villain Cultivator

Chapter 691 – Pangu's New Toy

Hiiro gazed at the team of gods, who rushed from the Heavenly Dao Faction's portal to the Chaos Realm Faction's portal. While he was looking away, he murdered another player.

His gold name remained unchanged. However, his level now reached 6,000.

Camping in front of the player's portal had its perk. He ambushed every player and slaughtered nearby tar monsters, farming EXP and levels.

The progress was good, but it was far from enough. He needed to at least max his level so that he could solo Pan Mei's castle and the defensive structures.

As Hiiro was bored of killing low-level players, he turned his attention to the group of Olympian gods.

'Killing other testers won't yield any more EXP. I need something different. Should I probe the Heavenly Dao Universe?'

Hiiro leisurely leaped forward. Instantly, he got in front of Zeus.

Without introducing himself, he brandished his twin swords and coated them with his Providence Law of Cursed Swords.

Seeing the ambusher, Zeus didn't bother talking as well. He bellowed and cladded himself in Lightning Tribulation Providence Domain and Connate Lightning.

SWUA

SWUA

Hiiro's two swords simply sliced through the protective barrier of lightning, separating Zeus into four pieces of flesh.

The god of Olympus widened his eyes in shock and confusion. He didn't understand why his absolute protection barrier was destroyed as it had never been broken.

Zeus' severed bodies merged and restored themselves. However, he also paid the price of self-resurrecting with something disgusting.

"AHHHH!!"

The damages were transferred to one of his sons instead. One of his followers turned into four pieces of meat before he dissipated to dust.

Hiiro frowned and glanced at his notification panel. His game system sent a message that he had killed a deity, but it was someone else.

Zeus grudgingly glared at Hiiro, "Damn sage! Don't you have no shame?! Why are you bullying lowly gods?!"

"This is war. There is no such thing as bullying, only stomping!"

"You!"

Hiiro vanished. As he noticed the ability of Zeus, he went for his followers instead.

The world stopped moving, but a thousand red and black lines flashed, leaving afterimages. When the time resumed, everyone but Zeus and Hades was reduced to dust.

Hiiro's pupils left a trail of flame. He stopped the time again and charged at Zeus.

As Zeus had no time ability, his last vision was a downward slash. Then, his consciousness and vision turned black forever.

Just like that, the God-King of Olympians was dead. He wouldn't remember anything in the next life.

Hiiro turned around, targeting Hades next.

But Hades was quick on his feet. He had already vanished and retreated into Heavenly Dao's portal when Hiiro attacked Zeus.

The game protagonist clicked his tongue as one of them slipped through his grasp. He turned his attention to Jieyin and others next.

Jieyin sneered at Hiiro. He waved his hands and gestured for Jian Xian and the other men to retreat.

Hiiro noticed the terrifying presence of Jieyin and chose not to chase after him. After all, he didn't need to go into a life-and-death situation with another unrestrained sage yet.

As Hiiro had no one else to fight, he turned to the tar monsters at the south of the medium plane. He avoided the great dao slimes while he picked a fight with tar monsters.

…

Today was Mu-Nyang's turn to manage the game. However, as lazy as he was, he did nothing fancy other than throwing all 10 airdrops to the medium plane.

The tar monsters and Hiiro were the only ones who secured the crates. The gamer stored everything in his game inventory while the tar slime secured five crates. Then, they hid them far south of the plane.

Meanwhile, at Chaos Realm's plane, Adam and Fu Daotian finally decided to promote their cultivation base. They felt useless, and they now wanted to participate or contribute to defending or securing daily airdrop events.

However, as Miaomiao and Tlaloc were busy cultivating, Xie Tian ended up being put on duty to manage the altar.

Adam and Fu Daotian ended up advancing to the sage realm by sacrificing one Orochi's clone each. After getting their sage power, their subordinates and sentinels requested to use the altar as well.

Xie Tian disliked the idea of promoting random deities as they would never contribute to war. However, Miaomiao was strangely kind as he sent a sound transmission to Xie Tian.

'Xie Tian, if any non-representative wants to use the altar, let them use it. However, they must bring sacrifices to the altar themselves. If they want to use Orochi's clones, tell them that only official representatives can use them, and they must at least become a pseudo sage first.'

Xie Tian disagreed with this idea. He had planned to use the sacrifice resources on Fuxi, Nuwa, Venti, and other dragonewts who were more trustworthy than the fillers from the Eden Garden Sect.

He voiced his dissatisfaction.

"Miaomiao, I know that you want to increase our combat strength, but we're wasting our resources. Adam's representatives are not that useful."

'Don't worry. Every promoted cultivator has its uses. This sacrificial system is so flawed that I always wanted to try this for a long time. Let them use it and promote their cultivation base to sages or unrestrained sages.'

"But we will lose a lot of sacrifices."

'We won't lose anything. Rather, we'll have a lot more sacrificial lambs for our main combatants.'

"You mean… oh, wait."

Xie Tian finally caught onto something.

If one pseudo sage could be used to promote another pseudo sage to sage, would a sage be enough to promote another sage to the unrestrained sage realm?

If that was the case, wouldn't it be cheaper to sacrifice the newly promoted sage to the other sages? Instead of losing 10 pseudo sages to promote a sage to the unrestrained sage realm, wouldn't this method be cheaper?

Xie Tian slapped his forehead. He had never thought of this.

"I overlooked this simple method. I was too worried about sacrificing honest people."

'Just fatten the useless representatives. For sentinels and plus-one side characters, let them go out and capture the tar monsters or something if they want to grow stronger. Be sure to kill any bastard that tries to sacrifice our allies, especially if they mess with our the Cathulhus and catopuses!'

"I get it. I'll tell the crowd."

…

When the crowd heard that they could now use the altar if they provided the sacrifices, every follower of Adam and Fu Daotian was delighted.

But as they couldn't use fellow sentinels and the cats as sacrifices, they began looking at the portal.

Although it was risky as the medium world was plagued by tar monsters, which had the strength of sages, they decided to brace for the danger and try their luck.

After all, they would die in less than a month. They had nothing to lose other than their life and memory!

A thousand non-representatives charged out of the portal, leaving a few followers of Adam and Fu Daotian behind.

While everybody was out, Joshua, Fuxi, and Nuwa changed their minds. They went to the altar and decided to promote their strength. They sacrificed the captured clones of Orochi and promoted both Nuwa and Fuxi to the unrestrained sage realm. Joshua also joined the sage rank.

Although their foundation was lacking, it was better than nothing. Both sages went back to seclusion, solidifying their new strength. Joshua also returned to recommend this altar to the archangels.

But before Fuxi left, he passed the captured pseudo sage clones to Xie Tian. Currently, 868 clones remained.

"You should use them as well. Otherwise, you won't be able to help if another great dao sage comes."

"I know. Thanks, senior."

Xie Tian opened his sleeves and sucked the suppressed clones inside his pocket dimension in his clothes. Then, he turned his attention to the altar, resetting it with his time domain.

Hours later, Xie Tian, Xie Qingtian, and Xie Lian all used the altar once each. Xie Tian promoted himself to the unrestrained sage realm while both Xie Lian and Xie Qingtian were upgraded to the sage realm.

Xie Fan also wanted to use it, but the three men of the Xie Clan refused. They ordered her to go back to take care of her child.

Xie Fan pouted and rushed to the radar tower, planning to pester Miaomiao instead.

After using the altar five times in a row, Xie Tian was exhausted. Xie TIan counted the remaining resources. 856 clones remained for the future usage.

He stopped resetting the altar and went back to rest.

…

The next day

DING

<You have received the daily resources!>

<You have obtained 160,000 Dao Stones!>

Miaomiao opened his eyes when the loud notification bell repeatedly annoyed him. He frowned and cursed at Mu-Nyang and Dion.

"Pipe it down, will ya!"

The daily resources came from all 160 Divine Qi Refineries, which Miaomiao had planted on top of gas caves and holes on the ground.

Currently, only a hundred available gas caves remained, but Miaomiao left them for the local cultivators to use.

Still, the 160 refineries and 8,000 catopuses were worth the investment. Aside from the daily resources, Miaomiao got roughly 80,000 Dao Stones per hour.

Miaomiao had enough resources to spam building units and various structures now. He opened the Yin-Yang Sect's menu and trained more grand elders.

DING

<You can only build 5 grand elders.>

Unfortunately, Miaomiao could only train four more grand elders. Each took 12,000 years to build, but Miaomiao could decrease it to 12 hours per unit.

Miaomiao didn't stop there. He constructed nine more defensive turrets to support the frontline, wasting another 90,000 Dao Stones.

He wanted to upgrade the turrets again. Unfortunately, the game limited the strength of structures to the unrestrained sage realm. No building could produce or kill any Great Dao Sage.

As Miaomiao was short on Dao Stones at the moment, he returned his attention to cultivating.

Strangely, after throwing out more stars to the Chaos Realm, Miaomiao sensed that he could bring out the power of his dantian stars better. Now, he felt like he could contribute 7 or 8 stars at once.

Miaomiao tried to do so. He focused on contributing more stellar stars to the Chaos Realm.

Seven stellar stars of Death Providence, Life Providence, Twilight Providence, Karma Providence, and three advanced elements came out.

Flutter

Seven feathers turned white, and the flow of energy between him and the Chaos Realm got faster. Like a clogged tunnel being opened, the Connate Qi and Providence Qi flow became smoother, and the Connate Qi no longer damage his dantian and body as much.

Now, Miaomiao could gather and collect more Connate Qi!

"I see. This is how sages get stronger."

Miaomiao ignored the worldly affair and solidified his cultivation base.

…

Primordial Chaos Realm

While Miaomiao was working hard, a certain creator was working tirelessly to cheat Mu-Nyang again.

He attempted to create new karmic souls by using his blood and flesh, experimenting and researching on a way to create a great dao sage directly.

While he was busy, Mu-Nyang's voice echoed in his ears.

'It's your turn, munya. Aren't you gonna cheat today?'

Pangu clicked his tongue, "Not now!"

'So, you're admitting that you're cheating. What are you trying to do next, munya? Hack the game that you created, munya?'

"How about cutting Mao Miaomiao's karma and erasing his existence together."

'Good idea, munya! I've been searching for a way to kill Hongjun and Pan Mei. Let's see if the karmic souls of their clones are in my hands…'

"…"

Annoyed by Mu-Nyang, Pangu threw the half-finished creature into the medium world.

"As you wish! Here is your next opponent! I hope your king piece is ready!"

'Huh?'

…

Medium Realm

RUMBLE

Something descended from the sky and landed in the middle of the tar monster army.

The great dao slimes glared at the newcomer. As they were programmed to attack everybody, they spat corrosive acid at the unknown monster.

"NYAAAAAAAAAAAN!!"

Suddenly, the monster meowed. Its sound created a shockwave, destroying everything in a radius of 100 meters. All great dao slimes were burnt to ash!

A small cat silhouette emerged from the crude oil. The liquid dispersed, revealing its true body.

It was a black Maine Coon cat with three eyes, four sabertooth fangs, and a unicorn horn. Its tail moved around like a snake, and the tip of the tail was a Demogorgon's flower mouth that spat fire.

However, it had the same aura as other Cathulhus!

"NYAN!"

A great sage beast, Nian, was born.
