Chapter 958: Grilling Squid!
When Squidit spoke, he trembled. His eyeballs shook and fell from their sockets, hanging by a blue thread on his face. At the same time, his nose retracted while his mouth widened to twice its usual size, stretching up to the ears and tearing them open to become part of his mouth.
"Heh! Hehehe...!"
Squidit seemed to be convulsing, his eyes wobbling as he looked at Yun Xiao, displaying an extremely excited smile. A tongue extended from his mouth, covered in white blisters, each blister harboring a tiny humanoid tentacle monster...
Indeed, this was how the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe reproduced. They didn't have typical genders; their offspring were parasitic and reproduced asexually. Newly born Necrosquids were only as big as a fingertip. But they were numerous, thriving on death, and growing invincible. Their sheer numbers lead them to aggression!
It had been prophesied that the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe would ultimately wage war and destroy all life in the Samsara Galaxy, eventually becoming the sole path of survival in this celestial journey...
However, what Yun Xiao saw was only madness akin to a clown's.
"Here I come, hehe...! I'm coming!"
Squidit couldn't hold back any longer. He approached Yun Xiao, and as he got closer, his upper half, humanoid in shape, gradually merged into his lower half, transforming entirely into a tentacle monster with a central vortex of flesh, surrounded by tentacles!
This form was different from squids—similar, but fundamentally unrelated to these fish species!
They were merely tentacles of flesh formed from greed and destruction, half of their bodies made of resentment!
It was a disgusting sight! But the path of immortality didn't care about appearances; only the strong were respected!
"Your so-called heavenly defying rise ends here!" Squidit shrieked in a chilling voice.
The flesh and tentacle monster descended upon Yun Xiao's head like a cloud of blue and white!
From his tentacles, each sucker expelled a black mist, forming a hexagonal star, while the central flesh vortex, like a blooming pistil, contracted and expanded, spewing out small vortexes resembling blue flowers.
Meanwhile, the tentacles, bristling with barbs, elongated like sharp steel whips. They multiplied in number, resembling hundreds of hands, their hardness comparable to many celestial treasures!
WHOOM! An eerie sound emanated from the suckered vortexes. Yun Xiao's ears buzzed, and he felt as if he were being dragged into hell. On opening his eyes, he was surrounded by blood, corpses, and the countless wails of people, including many vulnerable women and children with severed limbs. The horrific scenes of war and cries tore at the heart; once thriving cities were now reduced to ruins!
Above in the sky, numerous fleshly blue-white tentacle vortexes swept across, dropping countless blue flowers. These flowers, planted on the heads of the people below, drained the blood and soul to blossom fully...
At this moment, Yun Xiao felt three kinds of attacks! The first was that of the barbed steel whip tentacles. The second was a psychic type of soul attack. The third was a devouring force bursting from those suckers, consuming his very vitality.
This third was the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe's deadliest form of attack, their signature move.
But the more he struggled, the more fiercely he burned. His tentacles broke off one by one, and the fleshly vortex was charred full of holes, just like Yun Xiao had described before—like grilling squid!
"It's impossible! There can't be such power..." Squidit was terrified, not of death, but of Yun Xiao's power. This was the only time in his life he had ever felt fear, sensing that this power could potentially destroy his entire tribe!
"Father! My tribe! Kill him! We must kill him! Kill!!!" Squidit wailed in agony, emitting the most pitiful and fearful sound in the world, still struggling wildly inside the Supreme Dragon Cauldron, like a fish frantically jumping in a pot!
However, he didn't know that Yun Xiao was already standing atop the cauldron, sealing it shut!
Around the cauldron was only the righteous violet aura!
He stood with his hands behind his back, violet energy coming from the east, looking down at it.
Squidit was indeed remarkable; even at this moment, he still had plenty of flesh and resentment. He glared at Yun Xiao, roared, and charged at him, intent on mutual destruction!
"This world has no place for saints like you! This is a world of sinful slaughter, where the strong devour the weak, and the saintly must die!" Squidit snarled.
"Who the hell told you I was a saint?"
At that moment, Yun Xiao drew the Heaven Burial Sword Soul. The three-foot blade exploded with deathly energy, filling the entire Supreme Dragon Cauldron.
"Huh?" Squidit was utterly dumbfounded.
He gave up all resistance, burned by the violet flames, staring blankly at the young man before it, a fusion of sin and sanctity.
He purified himself with sanctity! Yet, his other aspects—sin, brutality, death, slaughter, greed, wrath, and foolishness—surpassed even those of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe!
What kind of monster was this? Was he here to save the world, or to destroy it?
Squidit's psyche shattered completely.
"I'll just roast you on a skewer!" Yun Xiao, devoid of such complex psychological turmoil, pinned the fleshly vortex of tentacles with the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, absorbing Squidit's deathly power while turning him over like a skewer.
Red Moon peered out, drooling, and said, "Hey bro, sprinkle some cumin."
