I Take Life Seriously Chapter 109: The Poisonous Demigod (Part 1)

Perhaps once accustomed to the daily battles against the temporal anomaly codes, life gradually grew numb and dull, and time itself seemed to lose all meaning, abandoning people with increasing haste and disregard.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed since the second wave of temporal anomaly codes invaded Earth. Although skirmishes occurred during this period, the Taoist team managed them with ease.

On this particular night, Zhang Mingjing remained deeply troubled by the dangers posed by the temporal anomaly codes. Coupled with matters of the heart, he found himself tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He had been sleepless for six consecutive nights; were it not for meditation to recharge his spirit, the dark circles under his eyes would have been impossible to hide.

Tonight, clad in his battle armor, he flew alone to a structure rising more than a hundred meters above the earth’s surface...

“Not yet! Not yet! Once the ‘Flame Furnace’ settles down, you’ll be welcome to come and open it. By then, I won’t stand in your way,” the Knight Ah Huatian yawned as he spoke, as if what he said was trivial and unimportant.

At that moment, Barrett leapt down from the stern deck. His weapon, the ‘Rift Peak,’ hummed with a piercing shriek that reverberated through the air. Instantly, the wooden plank spanning two ships was sliced cleanly in half.

“No special instructions. I just saw you making money over here and thought I might get some work done. I wonder if Brother Shu City would grant me this favor,” Zhao Ritian said bluntly.

“I knew you would come,” the Earl Borem greeted him with a smile upon his arrival. Yet Barrett, sharp and perceptive, noticed the hidden fatigue and weariness beneath the Earl’s cheerful facade.

Dol, however, expressed delight: “The clan leader has an intermediate star chart?” To him, as long as it was in Jiumang’s possession, he was willing to pay a high price to buy it. After all, he knew that the Mos Planet lacked spiritual crystal stones; at worst, he could exchange some of these crystals with Jiumang for the star chart.

Recalling the cultivators who had been reduced to ashes by Dol and his eerie, inscrutable figure, along with his unpredictable power, a wave of dread involuntarily crept across the faces of those scheming cultivators who had hoped to take advantage of the chaos. Some instinctively took a few steps back, eyes fixed on Dol as if facing a formidable enemy.

A male mage burst through a shield from the flames, but barely a few steps forward, he was struck by a swift tail swipe from a giant lizard lord that had just landed, shattering his soul shield and sending him flying rigidly through the air.

Dol was a genius of rare caliber, having comprehended the power of the Heavenly Dao at such an extraordinary level.

“It cracked... it actually cracked. The power of this forbidden spell—if unleashed on Earth, it could shatter the moon completely,” Merlin murmured, mesmerized as the forbidden flames raged through the void, annihilating the demonic armies within its reach.

Every legend, every demigod’s gaze was like an invisible arrow, piercing him relentlessly. Were it not for the fact that he himself was a legend, he would have collapsed from the assault long ago.

“A primal secret carp.” Zhao Zhe was equally stunned. “It can soar through the sky? And live for several centuries?”

Under such circumstances, once Mary’s magical power was exhausted, the Yellow Whirlwind could do nothing but silently rest upon Mary’s shoulder in wait.

This was why the young girls stayed nearby, even entering the mesh cage with Xinya, who was afraid of the creature. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether they would have been able to retrieve it.

Liu Pucheng’s face was pale as death. Having remained calm since the incident, his body now trembled uncontrollably.

“Uh?” Although Wilin did not understand why Sean had such a strange hobby, for Joe’s sake, he agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, Lou Guanning was intensely curious about who this person was—someone who could hold their own against a great god in battle. He wanted to stand and take a closer look, but since he was pretending to be engaged in a match, he could only continue crouching behind the screen, feigning operation.

No one dared to believe it anymore. After all, leaping into a higher realm within just two years was almost unheard of in history. Who could believe such a thing was true?
