Chapter 480

Inside the military camp, the Book Saint looked at the captive man and the statue exuding evil qi before him, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Adam, it seems the extent to which the Evil God has invaded this world is far deeper than we imagined!"

Adam nodded. "Yes, so I’ll leave it to you, start the interrogation!"

The Book Saint’s face twitched, this guy only knew how to increase his workload. However, for something this important, it had to be done.

An ancient, unadorned book scroll appeared in his hands.

"Truth!"

"Words!"

Two words floated out from the scroll and gently landed on the goateed man’s body.

"What did you do to me? I’ll tell you whatever you want to know," the goateed man said, looking at the two men in terror.

"Nothing much, just a minor technique." The Book Saint smiled.

"How did you become a hunting dog of the Evil God?"

"I didn’t... One day, I was just cultivating normally, I had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, but suddenly a voice appeared in my mind, it said that if I helped him do a few things, he would let me break through to the Deity Realm."

"I couldn’t resist the temptation, so I agreed."

The goateed man’s pupils violently dilated, he hadn’t intended to say any of this, but the words just tumbled out on their own, and everything he said was the absolute truth.

He immediately clamped his mouth shut.

"It just appeared suddenly? Before the voice appeared, what were you doing? Were there any changes in your environment?"

But following the Book Saint’s questioning, his mouth seemed completely out of control. "I was in my secluded cultivation cave at the time, there didn’t seem to be any changes, as for before my seclusion, I robbed and murdered a merchant caravan to buy pills and resources for my breakthrough."

The Book Saint and Adam’s expressions instantly darkened.

The goateed man turned frantic. "I... I... didn’t... I’m sorry, I definitely won’t do it again, my two lords..."

"Shut up." the Book Saint shouted.

"Tell us exactly how that voice arranged things afterward, repeat every single word without leaving out one."

"Y-yes... yes!"

He nodded hurriedly and began to recount. "In my secluded cave, after I agreed, a powerful force inexplicably appeared in my body, helping me break through my Deity bottleneck..."

As he spoke, sentences appeared on the scroll beside them, transcribing his every word, the Book Saint recorded it all, preparing to study it carefully later.

"After I broke through to the Deity Realm, that voice made me go to remote worship sites, sometimes he had me set up formations, other times he made me carve incantations on the worship statues..."

"The first one was at... and I just kept repeating this kind of work non-stop."

He spoke for a full hour before finishing all the information, he had polluted as many as fifty worship sites, Adam raised his eyebrows slightly, his workload had just skyrocketed.

"Has that voice contacted you recently? Can he read your thoughts?" The Book Saint furrowed his brows, although an isolation formation was set up in the tent, since the Evil God could directly transmit his voice to this man, it was highly likely he already knew the man had been captured.

Suddenly, just as the Book Saint asked the question, the black runes on the man’s face began to writhe.

His face instantly became twisted, he clutched his head in agony as the runes squirmed madly on his skin, as if some force was trying to break free from the inside.

"No... no!" He screamed, voice filled with terror and despair.

"He... he’s here, that voice, he’s inside my body."

Adam and the Book Saint exchanged a glance, both seeing grave seriousness in each other’s eyes, the Evil God’s power had begun to backlash against this man.

"Tell me, what did that voice say?" The Book Saint stared intently, attempting to get more information.

"He... he said..." The man’s voice turned hoarse, as if every word brought immense pain.

"He said you... you shouldn’t meddle in things that don’t concern you, this world will eventually be ruled by us Evil Gods, you are all just ants, all sacrifices..."

"Hmph, what a big tone." The Book Saint sneered and stepped forward, slamming a palm onto the man’s shoulder.

"You think the Evil God can rule this world? As long as we are here, your ambitions will never be realized!"

The moment his words fell, the man’s body began to tremble violently, the black runes spread from his face to his entire body, enveloping him in complete darkness.

"Not good, the Evil God is initiating a backlash." The Book Saint’s expression changed, he pulled a talisman from his robes and threw it at the man.

The talisman ignited in mid-air, turning into golden light that shrouded the captive.

But the golden light didn’t last long before the dark power swallowed it, the Book Saint frowned, this power was too bizarre.

"Ahhh!" The man let out a blood-curdling scream, his body twisting in darkness as if experiencing unimaginable agony.

The Book Saint pulled out another, more dazzling talisman, otherwise, this man wouldn’t hold on.

The beam of light clashed fiercely with the dark power, but the Evil God’s power was clearly stronger, the light gradually dimmed during the struggle.

"This won’t do, if this continues, we can’t win." He had to find a new method, he hadn’t expected his own power to fall short.

Suddenly, light appeared in Adam’s hand, and a formation materialized beneath the goateed man’s feet.

...

The black qi on the man began moving toward the statue beside him.

Adam was transferring the evil qi.

The man’s expression eased slightly, the Book Saint breathed a sigh of relief.

The evil qi surged rapidly toward the statue, emitting a bizarre aura, and the man’s complexion gradually returned to normal.

However, right at that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from within his body, he swelled instantly, as if a massive creature was attempting to break free from the inside.

"Not good!"

Formation runes surfaced in Adam’s hand as he tried to reinforce the formation.

But it was too late.

"Hehehe... I remember you. You will all die..."

The moment the goateed man finished speaking...

His body exploded violently, sending countless drops of black blood flying.

An indescribable stench filled the air, along with the splattering black blood, the entire military tent was instantly plunged into darkness.
