Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 108

Zhao Gou’s reputation was indeed formidable.

First, there was his infamous “Salvation to Myriad Beings” leading to their destruction, followed by the chilling proclamation, “Living under my care is worse than death.”

Now, Zhao Gou’s notoriety reached new heights.

He had transformed people directly into beasts!

Suddenly, even the onlookers who enjoyed the spectacle dispersed.

The reason was simple:

They feared that Zhao Gou might take offense at them and instantly turn them into animals as well.

Within the small world, despite possessing significantly higher cultivation bases than Zhao Gou, the mighty beings couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat upon witnessing his abilities.

Some of these powerful individuals swiftly sent secret messages to their clans or sects:

“In future encounters with Zhao Gou, avoid him at all costs. Remember, show utmost respect; do not offend him under any circumstances.

“And if you disobey, be prepared for expulsion from the clan.”

At this moment, within the Heaven Wrath Temple of the small world, a voice echoed:

“No matter what, Zhao Gou must not be allowed to exist – he has to be eliminated! At any cost, Zhao Gou must die!”

As the voice trailed off, experts from the Heaven Wrath Temple began mobilizing immediately.

Already, experts from the Heaven Wrath Temple were mobilizing.

As for Zhao Gou,

seeing that there was no further need for treatment among the Heavenly God Cult members,

he ceased his efforts.

However, gazing at the cult disciples now behaving like wild beasts, Zhao Gou couldn’t suppress a grimace.

“So this is what you meant by becoming the renowned Savior of The Suffering, Heavenly Venerable Zhao?” Zhao Gou’s face turned ashen.

Especially when he noticed the fear and horror in the eyes of those cultivators looking at him, it weighed heavily on his heart.

“You bloody Liu Shunyi…” Zhao Gou cursed inwardly and stormed off angrily to confront him, demanding an explanation.

Zhao Gou left the scene, but Abe Luoxue remained standing amidst the Heavenly God Cult encampment, watching her disciples sprawled on the ground like animals, feeling utterly despondent.

“Why? How could such absurd and bizarre events afflict my Heavenly God Cult?”

Seeing her disciples completely devoid of rational thought, Abe Luoxue felt her vision darken.

“Lost, lost! The Heavenly God Cult is utterly ruined within this ancient secret realm!”

At that moment, Liu Shunyi’s eyes were bloodshot.

Never could he have imagined that this Heavenly Tribulation would present such a visually disturbing scene.

Before him, burly men with unkempt beards danced seductively like flowers, accompanied by various nauseatingly flirtatious gestures. It was enough to make one retch.

The key issue was that his own revolting reactions were transmitted directly to the Heavenly God Cult members.

While not strictly negative effects, these eye-watering experiences still constituted extreme torment for Liu Shunyi.

After barely enduring through this ordeal, another sight emerged – an adorable pack of puppies surrounding Liu Shunyi.

“Join us, join us, join…”

Their voices echoed incessantly in Liu Shunyi’s mind, amplified by their incredibly cute gazes. If it weren’t for his Grand Dao Golden Book, he might have succumbed to their charm.

Fortunately, it seemed these mental afflictions also fell under the negative effects category and were absorbed by the Heavenly God Cult.

With a shattering sound, the path to immortality broke apart.

Liu Shunyi’s body floated mid-air as the shattered fragments transformed into terrifying magical energy, infusing directly into him.

Normally, reaching the Nascent Soul stage should have been immensely joyful for Liu Shunyi. However, after enduring such a bizarre and torturous Heavenly Tribulation, he found no joy whatsoever.

Instead, he remained silent for a long while before finally sighing deeply.

“I’d rather get struck by lightning! I truly wish I had!”

Just as Liu Shunyi finished Transcending Tribulation, he spotted Zhao Gou flying furiously towards him, dragging along a terrified white-clothed woman.

Liu Shunyi stared, bewildered.

Zhao Gou’s anger flared at the sight of Liu Shunyi.

“What did you do exactly? Why have all members of the Heavenly God Cult lost their human reasoning and turned into beasts?”

“Do you realize how much this has screwed me over? Now people privately call me the most terrifying demon around!”

“Some even go straight for ‘Old Demon Zhao’!”

Liu Shunyi was taken aback.

“Really turned them into dogs?”

Zhao Gou shook his head.

“Not physically, but mentally they believe themselves to be actual dogs!

Wait, that’s not the main issue here. Didn’t we agree beforehand? I was simply meant to be the Savior of The Suffering, so why did you pull such a stunt on me?”

Feeling somewhat awkward, Liu Shunyi had no idea the Heavenly Tribulation would turn out like this. He hastily produced two Golden Spirit Pills.

“This was truly unexpected; consider these as compensation.”

Zhao Gou seemed ready to protest further, but upon seeing the Golden Spirit Pills, he swallowed hard with temptation.

“No way, my losses were significant this time. You need to add two more pills!”

Liu Shunyi blinked in surprise.

Adding two more wasn’t an issue. With ease, Liu Shunyi handed over two additional pills.

Zhao Gou eagerly accepted the Golden Spirit Pills, grinning from ear to ear.

Liu Shunyi found this reaction somewhat peculiar.

“You’re genuinely not upset anymore?”

Zhao Gou sighed.

“My reputation has already been tarnished by you; making it even more notorious doesn’t bother me now. I’ve realized that ever since joining you, a peaceful life is simply out of reach.”

As he spoke, Zhao Gou’s eyes filled with resentment, resembling a wronged young wife.

However, Zhao Gou quickly changed the subject.

A faint golden glow emanated from his body once again.

“How did my karmic virtue increase again? Also, what exactly can it be used for?”

Smiling, Liu Shunyi explained.

“Karmic virtue is versatile, like a universal remedy. With sufficient karmic virtue, you can instantly upgrade your Magic Treasures or Magic Artifacts to a higher tier. Alternatively, it can be used to enhance your cultivation base, although I wouldn’t recommend that option.

“Or, you could use karmic virtue to forge a Golden Body, known as the Golden Body of Karmic Virtue. It confers immunity and invincibility against myriad laws.”

Zhao Gou’s expression turned contemplative.

After a moment of hesitation, he asked, “Can it be used for healing others?”

Liu Shunyi was momentarily speechless.

“It’s possible, but it’s akin to spending your money on someone else’s medical treatment. Unless you’re insane for hundreds of years, I doubt anyone would opt for such a thing.”

As Zhao Gou spoke, Liu Shunyi noticed Leng Shuang trembling incessantly in his grip.

“Who is this? Why are you holding her? Wait, she has reached Nascent Soul Great Perfection!”

Zhao Gou was somewhat taken aback.

“This little scaredy-cat already attained Nascent Soul?”

Liu Shunyi rolled his eyes.

“Is that the main point here? How did you capture a Nascent Soul cultivator?!”

Zhao Gou’s expression turned serious.

“Well, although she’s quite timid, the medicinal decoction she prepared is genuinely impressive. In fact, it managed to reverse the temporary memory loss caused by your Sorrow Forgetting Pill.”

Liu Shunyi was astonished.

“That powerful?”

At this moment, Leng Shuang couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Lords Yama, please, throughout my life, I’ve never committed significant wrongdoings. I beg you, spare me from further blood and divine soul extraction.” As she pleaded, tears streamed down her face.
