Chapter 1164 - 594: Bitter Taste for the Empire
Ruthless, striking without mercy.
Ji Jue grabbed the terrified Wolf Beast in front of him, and instantly began the transformation—
Useless? If you're useless, then die! Otherwise, should I really keep you to make the Holy Dynasty great again? Even if we were to recreate eternity, we wouldn't need something like you…
Relying on a wolf's loyalty is less dependable than counting on a craftsman's ethics and the quality of a Heart Core!
It'd be better just to utilize waste…
"No, no, that's not right!"
Within the burning Black Flame, the rigid face gradually twisted, screaming in terror: "No, no, you're not Lu Changsheng, you're not… who are you… the Saints won't let you go, the Saints will surely…"
"Really? But I am your Sacrificial Master Saint."
Ji Jue's eyes lowered coldly, overlooking: "If you have succumbed to the Mutated, why not bow to me? If you hoped to turn corruption into purity, why not sacrifice a little part of yourself?"
Amidst the swirling Blood Light, the Secret Ritual of the Great Evil abruptly activated, and within the flood of spiritual essence, like a tide, it swallowed up that terrified, twisted face.
Kaelbasu roared and wailed, pupils blood-red, his body suddenly swelling, showing his true form in captivity—a bizarre beast covered in hair, madly struggling, as if about to devour people, yet to no avail.
No power to fight back anymore.
Not even time for a final desperate struggle…
Too late.
Already too late.
If he could let the material escape from his Melting Furnace, what would Ji Jue still be doing as a craftsman?
At this moment, the Flame Light rising from the orifice of the Great Evil surged like a waterfall, continuously pouring into the helpless beast's body under the grip and control of a single hand.
The tangible chaos began rapidly spreading, expanding and eroding, dazzling and ravaging everything.
But after the burning of the Black Flame, in that emptiness, it seemed as if something was being recreated!
Ji Jue didn't intentionally do anything, just naturally applied this chaotic Black Flame from his soul.
As if by instinct.
Then, he realized that this out-of-control Black Flame was simply a perfect match for Mutated Alchemy—discarding all trivial details, focusing on the big picture and whole, easily causing destruction, twisting, and mutation, fully activating every ounce of potential and capability within the material at hand.
Immediately, the process of Assimilation began!
Accompanied by the infusion, erosion, and assimilation of the Black Flame, within the senses of the Governance Axis, the presence of the beast in front of him became increasingly clear.
It was as if taking everything from the other party, turning it into a part of oneself!
As if the Great Evil was bestowing a gift upon its follower…
If Ji Jue were considered the Mutated, then the beast receiving the Black Flame's gift was undoubtedly a follower receiving a blessing and undergoing Transformation.
Its essence was the assimilation and erosion among the Mutants!
The difference lay in that numerous followers worshiping the Great Evil seemed like a monopolistic giant under the Vortex, wealthy and arrogant.
While Ji Jue, detached from the Vortex, was like a low-profile black workshop, a sweatshop, and the type that evades taxes to the Vortex.
But does a small company's boss not count as a boss?
Everyone is striving to survive; the Sacrificial Master Saint isn't having an easy time either. If you have something to say, tell it to my Blessing Park!
Grabbing tightly, instantly employed!
Thus, amid the entanglement of the Black Flame, the beast howled, screamed, and soon could make no sound at all.
The last trace of fear in its eyes faded, leaving only emptiness.
Dumbfounded.
When the last remnant of the Black Flame vanished beneath its flesh, the beast, void of any breath, retained a wolf's appearance on the outside but had essentially become an extension and appendage of Ji Jue's Mutant nature under the relentless erosion and assimilation.
Hence, the Sacrificial Master Saint joyfully welcomed his first disciple and follower.
Only, it seemed not too bright…
After Ji Jue's merciless act, its consciousness was completely dissolved, leaving only the final instinct within its Mutant soul.
A shell with an empty gaze.
Ji Jue thought for a moment, then took a Spirit of Creation from a nearby Fly King, forcibly pairing it within. After a rough adjustment, the empty pupils immediately regained a familiar glint of expression.
Then, right before Ji Jue, a half-human, half-wolf beast began to squat on the ground, meowing.
[?]
Ji Jue remained silent, unable to speak.
The corners of his eyes twitched, damn it Lord of Huangliang, here you are waiting for me!
Most hated cat scene ever...
Then, he saw the beast squatting on the ground, licking its paws, and then raising its leg to extend its tongue towards...
That's enough!
The beast's movements stopped abruptly.
Motionless.
Sitting obediently on the ground, holding its head in its hands like a tool, obeying every command.
But in reality, what's in front of him has little difference from a tool... it's entirely a living creation processed through Corruption Alchemy.
Unfortunately, coordinating and controlling it always feels awkward, like wearing shoes a size too small, the material's potential can only be tapped up to about nine-tenths of its capability, ultimately a discounted performance.
Ji Jue, after all, is not a wolf; the compatibility is insufficient, making many maneuvers difficult to execute. For a craftsman, to wield something as if it's part of his own body, machines or inanimate objects might be more convenient.
