Qin Xiao stepped into the passage, which resembled a den of flesh and blood, and ventured deeper inside.

The ground was completely covered by a thick, fungal carpet-like substance, obscuring the original passageways and walls.

The further you go in, the more active these fungal mats become, and there are even thick, blood vessel-like substances.

"Holy crap, could this really be a Zerg hive? That shouldn't be the case. Why haven't Zerg of this level overwhelmed this world and started mass-producing their own units?"

Suppressing his curiosity, Qin Xiao walked deeper into the area.

Finally, a large door, tightly wrapped in fungal carpet, appeared. Judging from its location, it should have been the former council hall or main bedroom of the palace.

Qin Xiao stretched out his hand, and a large amount of wood spread forward, reaching towards the gate while destroying and sweeping away all the surrounding fungal carpet.

The door was blocked by thick wooden blocks, and then slowly pushed open inwards.

This wasn't Qin Xiao exerting his own power, but rather the force brought about by the expansion and growth of the wood.

The force was incredibly powerful; even the tightly sealed door was smoothly pushed open.

The scene inside came into view, and Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

It's not really scary, but rather... somewhat erotic and bizarre.

A completely naked woman, her hands and feet wrapped in a dark substance, was bound in mid-air in a spread-eagle position.

Countless strands of jet-black, fleshy threads spread throughout this space.

The woman's head hung low, her long, fleshy black-red hair trailing on the ground. Her chest was enormous, but her left side had been sadly cut open.

Numerous fleshy threads drilled into it—no, they should be said to emerge from it—and then converged into the ground, gradually spreading outwards.

Qin Xiao remained silent for a moment; it was hard not to think of something from this scene.

It seems that someone has been corrupted by some kind of substance?

Qin Xiao did not step forward, but instead used the Jianmu wood to explore the area.

At least check if there's any danger around her, and whether the woman is dead or alive.

The wood of the Jianmu tree resembled a swimming dragon, and in the next moment it was beside the woman.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

The numerous fleshy threads within the chest seemed to come alive, swirling and surging as they ravaged the wood of the Jianmu tree.

Qin Xiao was caught off guard, and the first half of the Jianmu tree was entangled by the fleshy threads, which tightly bound the wood.

The wood of the Jianmu tree is incredibly hard, yet the fleshy threads shredded it all in an instant.

Then, as the silk thread retracted, it gradually stuffed all the wood into the heart.

It was as if it had been eaten and digested; after a short while, the piece of wood was completely digested.

Qin Xiao's eyes widened. This is incredibly powerful, and the attack method is so bizarre.

Upon seeing the fleshy threads surging towards him, Qin Xiao quickly took a few steps back.

He summoned Yunyun and said, "Baby, attack with all your might, let's see if this thing has a soul!"

Yun Yun woke up a few days ago and is fine, but her body has become a little strange.

Previously, it existed as a mere illusion within the Sword of Calamity, but now it has become the Sword of Calamity itself.

She is the sword, and the sword is her; moreover, her soul and body have become completely solidified.

The changes were significant for Yunyun; she could now wield the sword herself and attack with the blade.

For Qin Xiao, there wasn't much change; the only difference was that his soul body became more realistic and condensed when he was having fun.

Now it can be done even with the physical body and soul.

Ahem, we've strayed from the topic.

Yun Yun's body appeared beside Qin Xiao as if she were a real person, with the sword still in his hand.

"Master, what's going on?"

Qin Xiao shook his head. "I don't know. I don't know if this thing still has consciousness or a soul. You try it."

The simultaneous attack of Annihilation Qi and Soul Slaughter is so powerful that even a Diamond-level or Transcendent-level cultivator might not be able to withstand it, let alone a Transcendent-level cultivator.

He believed that even a demigod would cry out in pain if subjected to such an attack!

With a swift swing of his sword, the surging, chasing black and red flesh threads were cleanly severed. The severed flesh threads were erased by the annihilating aura and vanished without a trace.

One of the invisible waves rushed straight towards the main body, and it felt as if something had been struck in its heart.

A violent scream rang out, but Qin Xiao, whose body was now made of wood, was unaffected by the scream.

I just watched coldly, but the scream was quite interesting; it was actually a woman's scream.

Moreover, the bound body did not react at all, except for the heart, which reacted strongly!

"Looks like it's a monster with a soul after all. Interesting."

Qin Xiao smiled and twirled his sword with one hand, directly controlling Jianmu to grip the sword and attack again.

This time, we're going straight for the heart!

As if sensing the crisis, a large number of fleshy strands appeared in the heart area, and in an instant, the entire room was filled with the surging fleshy strands.

Holy crap!

Qin Xiao quickly spun the sword, severing all the flesh threads nearby.

However, there were just too many of these threads, and to be honest, they were really tough. Qin Xiao himself felt that they were probably almost as tough as his Jianmu wood.

Soon, the silk threads completely enveloped the Jianmu wood, directly shredding and swallowing a section of wood.

Yun Yun's sword fell into the silk thread, and Qin Xiao frowned.

Yun Yun waved her hands, and the sword spun rapidly, severing all the fleshy threads before flying back.

The trailing thread couldn't catch up and stopped at the doorway, refusing to move forward.

Qin Xiao was puzzled. Why isn't it coming out? Is this thing trapped here?

"Yun Yun, how is the sword?"

Yun Yun shook her head. "It's nothing serious, but I can feel that the other party wants to devour my body, and it's already digesting and breaking it down."

Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed. This guy is so awesome, what kind of monster is he?

"This monster has a soul, but it doesn't seem to have any consciousness."

Yun Yun nodded, "Indeed, he has no consciousness, but his strength is very strong. Just his attack power should exceed that of an ordinary transcendent.

However, it was merely a reaction of instinct—no, not really a reaction, more like devouring, subconsciously consuming all matter.

The two men stood at the doorway, preparing to try attacking again.

Footsteps sounded behind me; Qianyun's notification had already been given.

Qin Xiao only turned his head to look when the other party was almost upon him.

The newcomer had long hair, an extremely burly build, and wore a black cloak.

She has an outstanding appearance and an even more imposing figure. Her black cloak and clothes are like those of a nobleman, but they have been modified to be very tight and capable, like a combat suit.

Qin Xiao frowned and looked at the man he had met once before.

"Lord of Capricorn City, Reias Forsis Wu Lie, is there anything you wish to say to me?"
