Chapter 2425: The Soulful Gaze and a Smile (2)

It was an indescribable feeling…

Yu Zhiwen knew that Xu Xiaoshou was being pretentious, flaunting, and pandering to the crowd!

She used to despise people like him.

But now, as she looked at him, what she saw was genuine, a long-lost truth of “I derive my happiness from your suffering, and I want you to know that I do it with malice.”

This tastelessness, even if others replicated every move of Xu Xiaoshou, they couldn’t recreate it.

It was uniquely Xu’s!

Xu Xiaoshou, seated on the golden throne high above, abruptly turned towards her.

He no longer peered down on others with disdain but instead lowered his gaze seriously and focused on a certain spot.

“Thump, thump…”

Yu Zhiwen’s heart skipped a beat.

He was looking at her!

She was absolutely certain that this guy, right here in front of everyone, was looking directly at her!

The faint smile that had been hanging on his lips suddenly vanished.

Yu Zhiwen felt a bit fl.u.s.tered, blinking rapidly, pretending nonchalance as she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the side, reaching out to pick up a peculiar stone that had been blasted into a hexagonal shape, resembling something hand-carved.

But then, the world disappeared!

Vanished into thin air!

In an instant, she felt a tremendous sense of loss, like losing a treasure, urging Yu Zhiwen to forcibly calm herself and look back up.

She looked up as if nothing had happened.

The guy on the throne seemed to blink rapidly for a moment, or perhaps not, then calmly averted his gaze.

The world returned.

But the feeling of loss intensified.

He wasn’t looking at her… Yu Zhiwen’s smile vanished from her small face and never returned.

…

Actually, the smile hadn’t disappeared; it had just s.h.i.+fted.

When Xu Xiaoshou saw Little Yu smiling, he understood that he had helped her to avenge her grudge against Bei Huai.

“Must feel good, right?”

“I do feel pretty good, but saying these things out loud feels kind of cringy…”

Clicking his tongue, Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the pa.s.sive points he had acc.u.mulated from a satisfying meal, then turned his gaze to the battle.

After The Divine’s strike, instead of pressing his advantage, his state plummeted from its peak into a trough.

He retreated into the Gate of h.e.l.l.

When he emerged, he had reverted to the form of a burly, bald, s.h.i.+rtless man and landed beside Xu Xiaoshou on the golden throne.

Xu Xiaoshou was already quite tall, with a physique that was not overly muscular but perfectly proportioned, especially on such an opulent golden throne.

But next to the brawny bald man, even the golden throne seemed to lose its l.u.s.ter, like a dilapidated wooden stool.

Without turning his head, The Divine said coldly:

“Kid, close the door, and release what?”

“Startled, Pa.s.sive Points, +1.”

Xu Xiaoshou didn’t perceive the slightest chill in The Divine’s eyes, but at that moment, he felt as if ants were biting his spirit, sending s.h.i.+vers down his spine.

“Let me off the hook, let me off the hook…”

He hurriedly got up, pus.h.i.+ng the throne under The Divine’s b.u.t.tocks. “Brother, have a seat, you sit…”

The Divine moved aside, glaring at the disrespectful kid, then stomped his foot onto the golden throne with brute force.

“I am not in my true form; the Hungry Ghost Path can’t remain open all the time.”

“Unlike his time during the era of the Ten High n.o.bles, Bei Huai has already ascended to the rank of Holy Emperor. Otherwise, if I had hit him just now, I could have shattered his entire soul body with one punch.”

After a click of his tongue, The Divine clenched his fist, his words tinged with a sense of lingering satisfaction:

“On that note, it’s quite a rare experience. During the War of the Ten High n.o.bles, I beat up everyone but solely missed this guy.”

Glancing at the crumbling golden throne beneath his feet, Xu Xiaoshou shrank his neck.

Alright.

This was the real boss!

In response to The Divine’s words, Xu Xiaoshou looked up towards the horizon.

The huge soul body of Bei Huai was completely displaced, his head turned towards his back.

His soul body shattered completely, and dark blue blood oozed from the numerous wounds, not dripping but gradually being reabsorbed.

He was embedded in the barrier of the Soul Capturing Realm that he himself had opened on the Four Symbols Secret Realm, but his eyes were fixed firmly downward.

Or rather…

Throughout, his gaze was fixed solely on Xu Xiaoshou!

“Locked-on, pa.s.sive points, +1.”

Xu Xiaoshou took a deep breath, concealing his shock.

Taking a punch of such intensity, Bei Huai wasn’t dead yet!

If it were someone else, the reincarnation pa.s.sage would have been blasted to smithereens by The Divine!

Was this the strength of a divine soul of a Holy Emperor’s thought incarnation? And this was just a mere incarnation!

But after a glance at The Divine, Xu Xiaoshou felt relieved.

Bei Huai was indeed just a thought incarnation of a Holy Emperor, but wasn’t The Divine just a mere virtual image?

The Ten High n.o.bles were truly unparalleled!

“Is there any way to maintain the Hungry Ghost Path in this state?” Xu Xiaoshou asked eagerly.

“There is.”

“What way?”

“But it’s costly.”

Costly?

Xu Xiaoshou was momentarily stunned. What kind of method was this?

“The ‘Hungry Ghost Path’ among the Six Paths can reverse spirit flesh, turning all my output and damage into a divine soul state.”

“But before opening it, I need to swallow a large number of spirit medicines to enhance my divine soul, preferably Holy Medicine, otherwise it will devour my own divine soul and enhance my strength.”

“Just now, I only threw a punch, consuming the equivalent of a hundred years of a Higher Void Family’s foundation.”

“But since Xiang’er isn’t here, I didn’t take the Holy Medicine, so I can only throw one punch; otherwise, it would damage my foundation…”
