Chapter 20: How come your cheat code is still a yandere?
After dealing with the rampaging Gu Ziyue, Dong Mo took Xiao Bai to rest on the spot.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to rest and reorganize, Dong Mo also roughly figured out the specific abilities of the Devouring Heaven True Blood he had just obtained from the system.
After sensing the power granted to him by the Devouring Heaven True Blood, Dong Mo slowly opened his eyes and shook his head with a complicated expression.
"Sigh... System, why is this Devouring Heaven True Blood you gave me the basic version...?"
Yes, that's right...
Just as Dong Mo said, the Devouring Heaven True Blood he had just obtained from the system was significantly less valuable than the genuine blood in Gu Ziyue's body.
However, Dong Mo couldn't find fault with the system, because the system had just stated when distributing the rewards that the Devouring Heaven True Blood Dong Mo obtained was only the initial version...
Compared to the complete version of Devouring Heaven True Blood, Dong Mo's version lacks the most crucial inheritance of the Demon Emperor.
However, considering that Gu Ziyue has not yet awakened the Demon Emperor's inheritance, Dong Mo does not expect to find a bargain out of thin air.
Secondly, after Dong Mo obtained the true blood, he was also able to activate the berserk blood mode of the Devouring Heaven True Blood.
However, the increase in combat power is only two times, and it is still unable to use the Taotie's devouring divine power that can refine all things; at most, it can only absorb some pure energy.
However, everything has two sides. Although Dong Mo did not obtain the heaven-defying power of the original Devouring Blood, the side effects of activating the Berserk Blood Mode were terrifyingly small.
First of all, Dong Mo was able to maintain his rationality after entering the berserk state, unlike Gu Ziyue who suddenly went berserk and attacked anyone she saw.
Secondly, after Dong Mo's berserk state ends, his period of weakness lasts only half a day, which is a huge advantage compared to Gu Ziyue's long, three-day recovery period.
Therefore, the beggar version of Devouring Heaven True Blood that Dong Mo obtained can only be described as having both good and bad qualities.
Although the upper limit is much lower than the original version, the lower side effects are a real boost for Dong Mo at this stage.
What satisfied Dong Mo the most was the passive skill that granted immunity to deadly poisons, which came with the Devouring Heaven True Blood.
Thanks to this passive skill, most poisons in the world cannot harm Dong Mo. Any poison that enters his body will be digested into spiritual power by the Devouring Heaven True Blood.
Except for a very few extremely rare poisons that cannot be digested, Dong Mo can now truly be considered immune to all poisons!
Most importantly, Dong Mo's poison immunity is a passive skill that is always active, unlike Gu Ziyue who needs to activate her Berserk mode to digest the poison.
Thinking of this, Dong Mo couldn't help but lick his lips, took out a Qi-replenishing pill from his spatial bag and put it in his mouth. Almost the instant the pill entered his mouth, it transformed into spiritual energy and flowed into Dong Mo's limbs and bones.
Thanks to the passive skill of Devouring Heaven's True Blood, Dong Mo's pill absorption efficiency increased by more than 20%.
More importantly, while ordinary cultivators would accumulate pill toxins in their bodies after taking pills continuously, Dong Mo, who was immune to all poisons, could directly transform the pill toxins into spiritual power, achieving a near 100% utilization rate of the pills.
Even the efficiency of breathing is greatly enhanced due to the presence of the Taotie bloodline.
Dong Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although the Devouring Heaven True Blood he obtained was only a castrated, basic version, in terms of practicality, the genuine product in Gu Ziyue's body at this stage might not be as useful as his.
"Unfortunately, this ability is great in every way, except..."
[Devouring Heaven's True Blood: Mom! Mom! Mom!]
[Devouring Heaven's True Blood: Mom~ Mom...]
.........
Looking at the group of players who seemed to be addicted to playing the game, and seeing the screen full of "motherfucker" characters on his system panel, Dong Mo couldn't help but feel a vein throbbing on his forehead.
Ever since she entered Dong Mo's body, the girl who liked to call him "Mom" and was devouring the Heavenly True Blood was like a pop-up ad on some shady website, constantly calling him "Mom" in front of Dong Mo's eyes...
And no matter how Dong Mo tried to correct her, the other person insisted on calling him "Mom".
"Forget it, out of sight, out of mind..."
Dong Mo breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to lead Xiao Bai to find the array plate and escape the maze.
However, at that moment, the Purple Nether Sword that was originally hanging at Xiao Bai's waist suddenly flew to Dong Mo's side.
Immediately afterward, a message pop-up from the Purple Nether Sword appeared right in front of Dong Mo.
[Purple Nether Sword: Master~ I contributed the most during the battle just now, don't you think... I should be rewarded properly?]
[Tranquil Sword Technique: Tch... It's as if it was all thanks to your sword just now!]
[Purple Nether Sword: Oh... the iron tree is blooming? Or did the sun rise in the west? You arrogant jerk, you actually know how to curry favor with my master now?]
[Tranquil Sword Technique: I didn't! I just can't stand that certain swordsman taking all the credit for himself!]
Looking at the pair of bickering lovers on the panel, Dong Mo, who was already used to it, decisively chose to ignore them.
But when Dong Mo felt the buzzing coming from the hilt of the Purple Nether Sword...
Dong Mo changed his mind again and prepared to infuse the Purple Nether Sword with some spiritual energy to nourish it.
After all, he and Xiao Bai would still need the Purple Nether Sword to guide them in the future!
However, just as Dong Mo grasped the Purple Nether Sword, preparing to infuse it with spiritual power, he suddenly froze.
The spiritual power within his body seemed to be blocked by something, and he was unable to channel it into the Purple Nether Sword no matter what he did.
[Purple Nether Sword: Huh? What's going on? Why hasn't the spiritual power you gave me arrived yet, Master?]
Dong Mo scratched his head: "I don't know either..."
As Zi Mingjian and Dong Mo were wondering, the next second the pop-up window for Devouring Heaven's True Blood appeared aggressively.
[Devouring Heaven's True Blood: Mom! Mom! Mom!]
[The Devouring Heaven True Blood declares that her mother is hers! The spiritual power within her mother naturally belongs to her too! She will not relinquish her mother's spiritual power!]
[Purple Nether Sword: Hey...you newbie, why do you like to hog everything? Don't you know about first come, first served? I'm your senior, you know!]
[Devouring Blood: Mother! Mother...]
[The Devouring Heaven True Blood declared that she didn't care about any of that; her mother belonged to her, and no one was allowed to take her away.]
[Purple Nether Sword: Heh...you little slut! Just wait and see how I deal with you!]
Dong Mo felt a sudden tremor in his palm as a sharp spiritual force surged from the Purple Nether Sword, threatening to attack the Devouring True Blood within his body.
Clearly, the Purple Nether Sword intended to use its own spiritual power to force out this unruly third party from Dong Mo's body.
However, the moment that spiritual energy surged into Dong Mo's meridians, the Devouring Heaven True Blood eagerly rushed towards it. It should be known that the Devouring Heaven True Blood's favorite thing to consume is spiritual energy; this move by the Purple Nether Sword was truly like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone with no return!
[Devouring Heaven's True Blood: Burp! Mom! More!]
[The Devouring Heaven True Blood declared that the spiritual energy the Purple Nether Sword had just infused into her was delicious, and she wanted more!]
[Purple Nether Sword: You...you! Master! Can't you control this little slut?! She's bullying the sword!]
Seeing that Zi Ming Sword had finally suffered a setback, the Tranquil Sword Technique, which had been relentlessly suppressed and ridiculed by Zi Ming Sword, couldn't have been happier!
[Tranquil Sword Technique: Hahaha! You old hag, Zi Ming, you've actually met your match! I'm dying of laughter!]
Looking at the furious Purple Nether Sword and the gloating Tranquil Mind Sword Technique, Dong Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing at the Purple Nether Sword.
"Pfft..."
Dong Mo finally understood. The system had previously noted to him that the Devouring Heaven True Blood was extremely possessive, and that was no exaggeration at all.
The Purple Nether Sword has finally met its match with this junior sister Wa!
.........
At the same time that Dong Mo was busy mediating the conflict between the Purple Nether Sword and the Devouring Heaven True Blood in the secret realm maze, outside the Heming Mountain Trial Secret Realm, in the vast forest...
Four figures were flying through the treetops, their eyes scanning every inch of the forest below like those of eagles. They were the four Nascent Soul stage elders sent by the Dong family to monitor Dong Mo.
"Hey? Boss, where do you think the young master could go?" The one who spoke was the youngest of the four, with a fair complexion and no beard, looking to be in his early thirties, with a hint of helplessness between his brows.
Upon hearing this, the purple-robed elder at the head of the group remained silent, but the woman in red beside him spoke up.
"Who knows about that? All I know is that the young master came to Heming Mountain most likely to use the suppression rules on divine sense and realm here to shake us off."
"Sigh... I just don't understand." Another man with a kind, dark face sighed. "What on earth is the young master thinking?"
"He gave up being a perfectly good young master and insisted on running away from home, even threatening to sever ties with his family."
"Shut up." The old man in purple robes gave him a cold look.
"Hmph! How dare you speak ill of someone as distinguished as Young Master?"
The dark-faced man shrank back and awkwardly fell silent.
The old man in purple robes withdrew his gaze and looked into the depths of the dense forest, where towering mountains stretched out. A hint of worry flashed in his cloudy old eyes.
Young Master Dong Mo is the only legitimate son of the family head, and he is also born with double pupils and is valued by his own ancestor. If something really happens to the young master, the four of them would not be able to explain it even if they risked their lives!
The four of them then left without saying anything more and used their movement techniques to rush deeper into the dense forest.
However, none of them noticed that not far behind them, on a branch of an ancient tree, a slender figure was leaning against the trunk, her pale golden beastly eyes gleaming faintly in the dappled shadows.
