Upon seeing Hu Le arrive, the centipede, fearing its Yuan Dan would be stolen, quickly tilted its head back and swallowed it. Its previously stiff body trembled and suddenly became much more agile.
It is a spirit beast born from the Taiyin star. It is born with a fierce and malevolent aura. Even after many years of cultivation, its intelligence is still suppressed by its malevolent aura, and it mostly relies on instinct when it acts.
Seeing Hu Le at this moment, one could see that his body was surrounded by Dao energy, and his bloodline was formed from pure chaotic primordial energy. The description of his "immortal skin and jade bones" was beyond words, and he seemed to contain immense fortune.
Its ferocious instincts constantly reminded it that if it could swallow the person before it, it would surpass billions of years of cultivation and allow it to ascend to heaven in one step, attaining the fruit of the Great Dao.
Unconsciously, saliva was already gushing from the corners of his mouth.
Driven by instinct, it suddenly became ferocious, howled, and sprang up, pouncing towards Hu Le.
"You beast! You have no sense of mortality!"
Hu Le chuckled lightly, flicked his finger, and released a spark of lightning.
Since he obtained the Thunder Dao Fruit, his control over the power of thunder has become increasingly proficient. No matter what kind of divine thunder he uses, it contains the power to destroy the world.
With a loud bang.
The lightning struck the centipede's head head-on, exploding with a bang and sending it tumbling head over heels, its massive body flipping over.
Fortunately, it is no ordinary thing either. Having absorbed and exhaled the innate Yin energy for hundreds of millions of years, its body is naturally exceptionally tough.
Only a ferocious beast like it could withstand such a lightning strike; any other person would likely be instantly obliterated.
It only felt a slight pain, rolled around a few times, and then regained its vitality.
The centipede, in pain, became incredibly ferocious. Its bloodlust flared, and its eyes turned bloodshot. A dark cloud of malevolent energy swirled around it, enveloping it and making it appear and disappear, like a black dragon rolling in the dense clouds.
After it recovered, it roared again and spat out a beam of Primordial Yin Extinction Divine Light.
This is its innate divine power. If someone below the Great Luo level is struck by this divine light, at best their physical body will be completely destroyed, and at worst their primordial spirit will be reduced to ashes and their soul scattered.
"Hmm, this supernatural power is quite interesting."
Hu Le nodded approvingly, raised his hand and pointed, a beam of innate Yin-Yang chaotic divine light shot out from his fingertip.
The two beams of divine light collided in mid-air.
boom!
The stalemate lasted only a moment before the innate Yin Extinction Divine Light emitted by the centipede could no longer withstand it and collapsed first.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the innate Yin-Yang chaotic divine light surged out and shot in front of the centipede in an instant. Before it could react, the divine light swept over it and blasted it away.
Before it could recover, Hu Le took a step forward, his figure dissolving like a dream bubble, and reappeared above the centipede's head.
He looked down at the centipede with a cold glance.
"You wicked beast, today I will send you back to the origin of creation!"
Just as he was about to throw the bamboo staff in his hand to pierce the centipede's head like an arrow, the voice of Fairy Wangshu suddenly rang out from afar.
"Your Majesty! Please show mercy!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Le suppressed his murderous intent and turned to look, only to see that Fairy Wangshu had already arrived on auspicious clouds.
When the centipede saw Fairy Wangshu arrive, the fierce light in its eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a pitiful look. It made whimpering noises and pounced on Fairy Wangshu, circling around her.
"Huh? Could this be something you keep at home, fellow Daoist?"
Seeing this, Hu Le naturally did not continue to kill, but instead asked a question with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Fairy Wangshu's brows furrowed with sorrow, and she sighed, "Alas, Your Majesty is joking. This beast should have been born from the Taiyin Star, but for some reason, its body has been tainted by malevolent energy."
Over the years, I have tried every possible method, but I have never been able to eradicate the malevolent energy within it.
This has resulted in it having little intelligence despite its cultivation, and it still acts solely on instinct.
The Moon is an extremely cold place, and very few living beings are born there.
Since the beginning of time, only three beings have been born.
The first one is Chang Xi, who is now married to Di Jun.
The second is Fairy Wangshu, who has been living in seclusion in the Moon Palace and rarely appears in the world.
As for the third one, it's this centipede. Compared to the two women, its opportunities and good fortune are far inferior.
In terms of their origins, they are both formed from the essence of primordial Yin energy, but it was inexplicably tainted by malevolent energy, resulting in the slow development of its intelligence, and it has yet to take form...
Of course, there are other people living under the Moon Star, namely the Twelfth Month Woman.
The Moon Maidens are of noble birth, just like the nine little golden crows, all born to Di Jun and Chang Xi.
However, unlike the little golden crows, they prefer quiet to activity and have always lived in the Moon Palace, cultivating with Fairy Wangshu, rarely appearing in front of the world.
Because they have always avoided creating karma, they have enjoyed a peaceful life in recent years, unlike the little golden crows who were plotted against and perished...
Returning to the centipede, as a spirit beast born from the Taiyin Star, Fairy Wangshu, mindful of their shared origin, had always paid close attention to it. Sensing that Hu Le was about to harm it, she had no choice but to appear and stop him.
When Hu Le saw that Fairy Wangshu's brows were furrowed with worry when she mentioned the centipede, he smiled and said, "Well, since you have allowed me to enter the Taiyin Star to collect good fortune, I am naturally grateful. Today I will lend you a hand, which can be considered as settling this good deed."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a ball of golden light of merit flew out from his sleeve, transforming into a wisp of primordial yellow energy that floated to the top of the centipede's head.
"It's actually the Xuanhuang Qi of Merit! The Emperor is quite generous!"
Fairy Wangshu was delighted to see this and bowed slightly to Hu Le, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be so polite."
Hu Le laughed nonchalantly.
This wisp of meritorious primordial energy was a reward bestowed by Heaven for him collecting fragments of the Sun Star, preventing them from falling into the primordial world and causing widespread suffering.
However, as Pangu, the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and the supreme human emperor, he was not lacking in merit and Xuanhuang Qi.
Even if he refined it, it wouldn't increase his magical power much. In addition, his primordial spirit had once refined a strand of innate merit Xuanhuang Qi, and had already obtained the wonders of innate merit, so he naturally wouldn't lack this bit of Xuanhuang merit.
Of course, he can also use this to refine magical treasures.
However, even if all this merit is used up, it can only barely be refined into a postnatal merit treasure.
Moreover, he has no shortage of spiritual treasures. Even if he were to refine a merit-based spiritual treasure, it would be of little use to him.
Now that this centipede has been bestowed upon her, it's not bad to form a good connection with Fairy Wangshu.
The centipede, by instinct, had already sensed the wonder of this wisp of meritorious, mysterious yellow energy.
Even though it was already drooling with desire, it didn't dare to swallow it rashly since Fairy Wangshu hadn't spoken. It stared at Fairy Wangshu with pleading and flattery in its eyes...
