"roar!!!"
"Demon! You demon deserve to be torn to pieces! Heaven will punish you sooner or later!"
At the summit of a towering, cloud-shrouded mountain, a gigantic, pitiful-looking monster was pinned in a bizarre posture to an enormous piece of jade.
Its enormous body resembled a capital "人" (human), with its limbs and head pinned down by sharp, long nails, rendering it unable to move.
But it can speak.
At this moment, the beast was letting out extremely shrill roars that echoed throughout the entire mountain range, moving all who heard them.
This monster resembles a bull, but it has four sharp horns and three strange long tails.
now.
Its body had already been cruelly dissected, the flesh in its abdomen had disappeared, and streaks of blood hung from the huge bones.
Not only that, its internal organs also suffered severe damage, with many organs being cut open alive by sharp instruments, and parts of all its internal organs missing.
That's right, part of each organ.
Whether it's the spleen, stomach, or kidneys, they were all cut open in large quantities, with some parts remaining.
However, the remaining internal organs and wounds were filled with strange energy, which prevented the bull demon, a powerful god-king, from healing.
Splash—
As the monster struggled slightly, thick blood flowed continuously from its body, like a blood-red waterfall cascading down the mountainside and flowing all the way down to the foot of the mountain.
If you look down from the top of the mountain, you can see that the entire mountain is dyed blood red, like a bloody world.
Everything on the mountain, including flowers, trees, soil, and rocks, was scarlet or dark red, giving people a sense of oppression and terror.
Further away, there was an endless sea of blood, its surging waves emitting a pungent stench of blood.
In that sea, as the waves surge, you can also see pieces of snow-white, withered bones.
Who knows how many innocent lives have been buried in that sea?
Buzz—
Suddenly, a slight spatial fluctuation emanated from the sky above the sea of blood, and the figure of a monster covered in eyes and resembling a toad slowly emerged.
The toad was holding a trembling creature in its mouth. The creature was also a demon beast, with almost no flesh and blood left, and it was almost just a skeleton.
It seemed to have long since lost its vitality, and even in its miserable state, it made no sound.
It was just an involuntary tremor in my body.
"How boring!"
A cold voice rang out, and the toad seemed to have no intention of continuing to torment the monster in its mouth. With a whoosh, it curled its long tongue around the monster's body.
In an instant.
The little flesh and blood the monster had left disappeared as its long tongue swept across, leaving only a bloody skeleton.
Along with it, the soul of the demon beast also disappeared.
With a snap.
The toad released its grip, spitting out the skeleton which fell into the sea, creating a small ripple before sinking back down.
It mingled with other skeletons, indistinguishable from them.
"Hehe, now it's your turn!"
Eating a monster at will seemed like a common occurrence for the toad. It appeared so casual and indifferent, forgetting about it in an instant, and instead chuckled as it looked at the bull demon.
"No!!!"
Looking at the terrifying smile on the toad's face, the bull demon couldn't help but instinctively show fear and frantically tried to struggle and escape.
However, its limbs were nailed down, and even its soul sea was nailed down, so how could it escape?
call out--
The next instant, a small silver-white knife slashed through the void and appeared in front of the bull demon.
With a soft "pfft".
The knife was inserted directly into the bull demon's internal organs and began to slide inside the bull demon's body, cutting it.
"roar!!!"
The bull demon's pitiful cries did not stop the toad's actions; instead, they excited it even more.
The toad chuckled, "The more desperate you are, the better your meat will be."
The toad stared at the pitiful-looking bull demon as if admiring its own work of art, its eyes filled with excitement.
Instead of killing the bull demon with a single blow, it slowly cut flesh from its body.
The bull demon roared in anguish, "You beast, you wicked creature, have the guts to kill me! Have the guts to kill me!"
"Hey, kill you? That would be too easy for you, that won't do!"
The toad shook its head, naturally refusing to agree to the bull demon's request, as it thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of torturing and killing other creatures.
In particular, the torture and slaughter of such divine kings and geniuses made it so immersed in the process that it could not extricate itself.
hiss—
It's unclear whether the toad did this on purpose or the knife was too dull, but it always seemed to cut the bull demon very slowly, yet it made a very strong cut.
Not only were the bull demon's internal organs cut open piece by piece, but other parts of its body were also affected, and the wounds were deformed due to the pulling.
"Hiss..."
The pain was so intense that the bull demon trembled all over, and more blood flowed out.
It was only at the level of a God-King; an ordinary being would probably have died from such suffering long ago.
Slurp!
Each time a piece of the internal organs was cut off, the toad seemed to be enjoying a delicious meal, slowly chewing the organs in its mouth. Judging from its expression, it seemed to find it very palatable.
"Moo..."
The bull demon roared again, its eyes filled with sorrow, as if it had already resolved to die.
"It's only been 30,000 years, you're not going to give up already, are you?"
The toad looked at the bull demon with surprise, seemingly not wanting it to give up so quickly. After all, in its mind, there was no fun in killing an ascendant who didn't struggle.
The toad said softly, "Don't give up so quickly. You have to believe that you can escape this calamity. After all, as you said, God will take me sooner or later. If you give up now, what if God really takes me the next moment? Wouldn't you have perished in vain?"
Because the toad enjoys the pleasure of torture, it does not completely control the cultivation and soul of these creatures, giving them a glimmer of hope to survive.
However, if these beings are determined to die, they can disperse their souls on their own.
This is not something the toad wants to see.
It hoped that the bull demon in front of it would live as long as possible, because that would make things more interesting.
otherwise.
It won't be easy for it to find another genius at the God-King level.
"you're right!"
Hearing this, the toad showed a gratified expression, very satisfied with the result of his persuasion. But soon, he realized something was wrong. This voice... did not come from the bull demon.
"who?"
The toad's face darkened instantly, and its immense spiritual power swept across its surroundings.
The next moment.
It was astonished to discover that the once boundless sea of blood had turned gray, and the entire world had lost all its color.
The toad was horrified. Its many eyes darted around, scanning its surroundings, but it found no living creatures.
When it looked at the bull demon it had ignored, it was horrified to find that even the bull demon and the blood mountain had disappeared.
But it was now in another space.
Buzz!
As spatial fluctuations emanated, a black-haired youth dressed in a dark robe appeared, gazing at it indifferently.
But within that calm gaze lay an endless chill.
Upon seeing this, the toad instinctively shivered. It saw endless killing intent in those eyes, as if the powerful figure who had inexplicably appeared before it had already decided to kill it.
The toad's divine soul power swept towards the youth, but it couldn't detect the youth's cultivation level.
It feigned composure, but secretly channeled its divine soul power into the communication artifact, intending to send the news back to Yulong Heaven and summon the God Emperor to rescue it.
To its astonishment, its message could not be transmitted.
In an instant, the toad was filled with fear. It called out to Lu Tao with weak voice, "Who are you, senior? I am... a disciple of the Demon Desire Sect. I am here to guard this prison. Senior, do you have any orders for me?"
Unable to discern the young man's intentions, it invoked the power behind him, hoping to subdue him and prevent its own demise.
but.
But deep down, it couldn't quite understand.
How could such a powerful figure suddenly break into the domain prison of Yulongtian?
Although the domain prison of Yulongtian can be freely entered and exited by anyone who has reached the God Emperor realm.
However, all the major powers and races have long since reached a tacit understanding that no other creatures will rashly enter a domain prison that is not their own.
Otherwise, it will incite friction between forces.
The person in front of me not only came in, but also harbored great hostility towards me.
"Could he be... a spy from Heaven?"
Subconsciously, the toad made this guess.
But it didn't seem like it.
The reason why the Divine Dynasty does not impose other restrictions on entering the Domain Prison is because, in the early days, the Divine Dynasty used these Domain Prisons to catch many spies from the Heavenly Court.
Not only were there God Kings and God Emperors, but even a God Emperor was lured out.
Since then, no spy has ever been foolish enough to enter the prison to save lives.
Lu Tao ignored the toad and instead summoned the Celestial Hound, casually saying, "Celestial, go and enslave it!"
"Ugh, this thing is disgusting!"
Looking at the toad covered in eyes, the Celestial Dog couldn't help but get goosebumps. It complained, "Boss, why don't you enslave it yourself?"
Lu Tao glanced at it and casually said, "What is your boss's status? How could a mere God Emperor be qualified to become my servant?"
"..."
The Celestial Dog was speechless, but unable to refute it.
Because it knew that its leader had already enslaved Mo Hao, the God Emperor.
"Woof!"
With a fierce howl, the celestial dog pounced on the toad.
The toad cried out in alarm, "Croak! Get out of the way! What are you doing? Who are you? Do you want to be enemies of my Demon Desire Sect?"
However……
What terrified it was that even though it was already at the mid-stage of the Divine Emperor realm, it was like a chick in the hands of this big black dog, unable to resist in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, it was branded with the mark of enslavement.
Feeling the mark of enslavement on his soul, the toad felt dizzy and was still somewhat unaware of what had happened.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, the Celestial Dog sent a tremendous pain through the toad's soul.
In that instant, the toad felt as if its soul sea was about to shatter into countless fragments. A tremendous tearing sensation surged over it, almost causing its soul to collapse.
"Caw! No! My lord, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't!"
The toad writhed in agony in the void, its aura chaotic, and even its eyes began to burst, oozing white liquid like pus, making Lu Tao and the Howling Celestial Dog feel nauseous.
Snap snap snap—
Like firecrackers exploding, one after another, the toad's eyes burst open, but it was completely unresponsive, for it was already tormented to the point of near death by the pain in its soul.
Only then did it realize how much suffering the other creatures it had tortured and killed in the past had endured.
"No! Lord, spare me! Lord, spare me!"
The toad tumbled wildly in the void. In a short time, all its eyes exploded, and even its flesh began to crack, with terrifying wounds appearing out of thin air.
It looks as if it has been severely damaged by an external force.
In reality, it was its own imbalance of power that led to all of this.
The pain in my soul was so intense that I wished it would kill itself.
Unfortunately, without the command of the Celestial Hound, it couldn't even disperse its own spirit.
That's how it is.
The toad was tormented for a full quarter of an hour before the pain in its soul slowly subsided.
The moment the pain subsided, the incredibly weak toad, with immense willpower, controlled its wretched body and came before Howling Celestial Dog and Lu Tao, respectfully saying, "Greetings, Master!"
Even in the agonizing pain of its soul, its voice did not tremble when it spoke.
seem.
It didn't want to go through the pain it had just experienced again because of anything else.
Lu Tao looked at the toad expressionlessly and ordered, "Hand over all your valuables to me."
"Yes, my lord!"
Although it wasn't his master's order, the toad dared not refuse. He hurriedly took out many precious items from his own world and handed them over to the terrifyingly powerful figure before him.
"Tsk!"
Lu Tao stared at the nearly eight hundred items that conformed to the rules, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
This is the harvest of the toad's less than 50 million years of rule. If it waits until its rule ends, it will probably gain even more.
It is different from the Miao Yi of the desolate region.
Miao Yi rarely appeared in the Desolate Region. Apart from hunting down prodigies with excessively high comprehension and half-step Divine Emperors of the True Dragon Clan, he almost let the Desolate Region develop unchecked.
The toad, on the other hand, revealed the truth to this realm, causing its inhabitants to live in constant fear.
He lived his entire life in despair and pain.
Therefore.
The many rare and precious treasures born in this region were naturally all plundered and taken to its own world.
Lu Tao put away the various resources and instructed, "Next, continue with your usual actions. Do not let the Demon Desire Sect discover anything amiss. Also, do not continue to torture and kill the creatures of this region, and do not torture other creatures."
"Yes, my lord!"
Although he felt very aggrieved, the toad had no choice but to obey.
The only saving grace is that, although he suffered greatly and his life was no longer in his own hands, at least he survived.
Buzz!
After dealing with this matter, Lu Tao gave some instructions and then put the Howling Celestial Dog into the Great Thousand World. At the same time, he also withdrew his own world and disappeared again.
With Lu Tao's departure, everything on the Sea of Blood returned to normal.
only……
When the toad saw the bull demon again, he no longer felt the same torturous enjoyment he once had.
The toad quickly recovered its eyes, then glared fiercely at the bull demon and commanded, "From now on, you shall continue to scream as before. If you lower your voice even slightly, you'll be sorry!"
"..."
The bull demon was somewhat surprised and uncertain.
It was not only surprised by the sudden disappearance of the toad, but also by the toad's miserable appearance and even more surprised by the toad's attitude.
It had no idea what was going on, and was about to retort when it suddenly realized that the energy preventing its wounds from healing had disappeared.
Its injuries began to heal.
The bull demon looked at the toad in bewilderment, "What...what exactly do you want to do?"
In its view, this was definitely a way for the toad to continue torturing it, just to prevent it from dying.
"Just do this well and don't ask any other questions!"
The toad glared coldly at the bull demon, then plunged into the sea of blood to begin seclusion and recover from its injuries.
——
"This toad isn't too stupid!"
Lu Tao, who was watching from the shadows, couldn't help but nod slightly.
All he can do now is enslave the powerful figures guarding the prison. As for rescuing the creatures in the prison... he is willing but unable to do so for the time being.
but.
After enslaving the powerful figures guarding the various domain prisons, although on the surface the major domain prisons will not seem to change, at least there will be no more brutal killings like the toad's.
Naturally, there would be no tragic event of devouring living beings.
In fact, this kind of thing happens quite often in various domain prisons. If it doesn't happen every day, it happens at least every year.
and.
It's not just one or two living beings at a time, but a whole host of them.
The sheer number of them is chilling.
And there are quite a few seas of blood like the toad, which have been formed after fifty million years of brutal killing.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't the right time to kill him, Lu Tao would never have allowed him to continue living.
but.
Even so, it won't live for long.
And so, Lu Tao continued to traverse the Domain Prison, enslaving one Domain Prison Guardian after another and plundering all their precious resources.
During this time, Lu Tao also witnessed the cruelty of the world and the ruthlessness of the Divine Dynasty!
