Blue Star.
Lin Yu had just set foot on Blue Star when he waved his hand, and a rat and a person enveloped in purification flames appeared on the spot.
The Curse God Statue, as soon as it was released, immediately showed a fawning smile.
In its eyes, Lin Yu had accepted its surrender. Once the master-servant contract was signed, they would all be family.
Although it was humiliating, it had changed its appearance. Its former acquaintances would not recognize it, and it was willing to give up everything to save its life.
The big rat, on the other hand, looked furious.
"Human, kill me or dismember me as you please!"
It straightened its chest, looking like it was bravely facing death.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Since you wish to die so much, I shall grant your wish!"
Lin Yu stared at it, muttering words that were too quiet to be heard by anyone.
Then, he raised his hand and punched out.
With Lin Yu's strength, a single punch could shatter a small world, let alone a mere peak Grandmaster rat.
The big rat's expression changed slightly, but then it burst into laughter.
The laughter was cut short as a fist shattered its chest.
"Human, I... I will not surrender even in death..."
This scene, witnessed by the Curse God Statue, filled it with dread. Seeing Lin Yu's cold expression, it quickly praised him:
"Master, such stubborn fellows deserve a lesson. Well done, excellent, truly satisfying!"
Its demeanor formed a stark contrast to that of the big rat just moments before.
The difference was evident.
Suddenly.
Lin Yu let out a soft shout: "Disperse!"
Instantly, the soul power that enveloped the surroundings vanished.
With a soft pop, as if something had shattered, the scenery around them changed dramatically.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Everything just now was an illusion."
As he spoke, the big rat looked around in a daze.
"I'm not dead?"
"Congratulations on passing the test, you may return!" Lin Yu pointed to the spatial gate behind him.
The big rat was stunned. It stared intently at Lin Yu, wanting to see him nod.
It didn't want to die, but to die for its integrity was something it could accept without regret.
However, to survive because of its integrity was the best outcome.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "You have backbone, so you don't have to die. Leave now!"
The big rat was filled with excitement.
The Curse God Statue, however, was dumbfounded. It had a bad premonition, a sense of impending doom.
The big rat bowed deeply, "Although you did not kill me, I killed my kin. Are you not afraid of my revenge?"
Lin Yu smiled, "You are not a creature who forgets favors. Besides, it is better for those ferocious beasts to die than to live in a dazed state."
The ferocious beasts of the Divine Realm, influenced by the divine nature, lacked intelligence.
Such creatures, alive, were no different from being dead.
The big rat took a deep breath. It knew this naturally but had been unwilling to admit it.
Those kin were merely what it considered kin. If its kin lacked food, it might also become their target.
Could ferocious beasts without intelligence truly be called kin by a sentient being like itself?
Did they deserve it?
It couldn't help but ask itself.
Lin Yu said, "Think about this question yourself when you return. If you wish to seek revenge, feel free to come. But next time, you won't be so lucky."
With that, Lin Yu waved his hand and sent it back through the spatial gate.
Afterward, he looked down at the Curse God Statue.
Upon returning to Blue Star, he could finally wield his blade.
He had been coveting the skills on this fellow for a long time.
Lin Yu's intense gaze gave the Curse God Statue a bad feeling.
The next moment, Lin Yu chuckled.
"You are utterly defiled in this life and must be cleansed of your filth in the flames of purification!!"
The Holy Word was activated, and the statement carried the power of purification.
As the words fell, streams of purification flames followed.
"No, no, no, Master, you can't kill me! I've already surrendered!"
However, the purification flames did not slow down.
Seeing this, the Curse God Statue despaired.
It roared, "Human, may you die a terrible death! I curse you to never break through your realm for all eternity! I curse you to exhaust your lifespan! I curse you to have no descendants! I curse you to be struck down by a Grand Luo existence!"
A string of venomous curses spewed from the Curse God Statue's mouth.
But Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged, unfazed.
He possessed the power of purification. These curses could not even penetrate the barrier of the purification flames and would not affect him in the slightest.
"Die!"
As the word fell, the purification flames descended.
"Ahhhh!!!!"
A piercing scream echoed.
Shortly after, a system notification sounded in Lin Yu's mind.
"Ding, you have killed the Curse God Statue (God King realm), upgrade points +......."
With the Curse God Statue dead, Lin Yu quickly went to search its remains.
In truth, calling it a corpse was inaccurate; it was a clone of Lin Yu.
Because Lin Fan was a permanent clone, he did not dissipate into energy after being possessed, thus leaving behind a physical body.
"Only one?" Lin Yu was somewhat disappointed.
He picked up the crystal and placed it on his forehead to perceive it.
Instantly, streams of information surged into his mind.
Yan Sheng Art (厌胜之术): Can imbue objects with curse power to suppress people, objects, or monsters. For example, Voodoo dolls.
Lin Yu was very familiar with this skill. The act of sticking pins into a straw effigy he had seen in television dramas in his past life was one application of the Yan Sheng Art.
In reality, it wasn't limited to straw effigies; jade pendants and weapons could also be used to perform this technique.
The prerequisite was that the object must have been used by the target for the spell to be effective.
However, the power of this curse art lay in its long range, allowing it to be performed covertly.
"With this art, I can curse enemies to death. However, I have no enemies at the moment, so it's not of much use to me now."
Despite feeling it was not of much use, he still had his clone collect objects used by powerful individuals from various realms.
He would store them in his pocket dimension, labeled with their names and origins. If anyone dared to offend him, he would not hesitate to employ the Yan Sheng Art.
"The Curse God Statue is dead, I can resurrect Lin Fan!" Lin Yu muttered to himself.
He mentally chanted "External Incarnation."
Soon after, Lin Fan reappeared beside him.
As soon as he appeared, Lin Fan was furious.
"Big Brother, why are we back on Blue Star? I'm not going to die anyway, I'm going to settle the score with him! I'm so angry!"
Saying that, he strode towards the spatial gate.
Lin Yu smiled and stopped him, saying, "No need to go. I've already killed him. See over there? That's the body he possessed."
Lin Yu pointed to the corpse on the ground.
Lin Fan turned his head to look and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, finally killed that monster, it was too tenacious!"
"I see, it must have been because he was possessed and had a physical body that he was easily killed!"
"Main body, we stumbled upon this by accident."
Lin Yu tapped his head.
"So, in your eyes, I didn't contribute anything?"
Lin Fan grinned and quickly apologized, "What are you saying, Big Brother? If Big Brother contributed nothing, then no one would have contributed!"
"Such a smooth talker!"
