Chapter 1082 - 561: Holy Seed

At this moment.

Vivian was standing inside a top-floor room of a six-story apartment, gazing through the glass at a checkpoint at the intersection ahead.

During the early days of the Age of Calamity, Great Xia constructed numerous outposts at major traffic intersections in various cities, each guarded by a platoon, to respond to all sorts of emergencies, including mutated creatures.

Now, Great Xia has entered a period of black technology explosion, with various new safety equipment continuously being utilized, and outposts, these inefficient facilities, have long been dismantled.

On the other side of Canglan Star in the Carmenia Federation, however, checkpoints have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

In each state, each city of the Federation, many checkpoints have been established on every major traffic route, manned by armed soldiers, and even modified weapons clad entirely in metal armor.

The Federation used to keep it under wraps, but now they don’t bother disguising it; modified weapons have publicly appeared an unknown number of times.

But Federation checkpoints are not just for dealing with dangers like mutated creatures; they also target local civilians, and the latter is even more prominent.

From afar, Vivian saw all the vehicles passing through the intersection being stopped, with people inside getting out for safety checks.

The soldiers carrying out the task directly ran their hands all over the bodies of civilians of all ages during the checks, with a focus on whether they were hiding electronic products.

When a young woman underwent inspection, the middle-aged soldier responsible felt her up extra carefully, repeatedly touching private areas, his hand even obviously squeezing.

This amounted to blatant harassment.

Yet the young woman dared not say anything and stood there, stiff and motionless.

All the people around were furious but too afraid to speak.

Because now Carmenia has fully implemented the loyalty badge authentication system, Federation soldiers have received third-level loyalty badges, considered defenders of the Federation, and hold a status slightly higher than ordinary people.

Even if the young woman shouted harassment or filed a lawsuit, the authorities would side with the Federation soldiers.

"Smack!"

The middle-aged soldier finished the inspection and actually slapped the young woman’s butt, shouting, "Next!"

The young woman silently crossed the passage, exited the checkpoint, and returned to the vehicle.

Other civilians numbly lined up, numbly accepted the inspection.

Judging from this scene, harassment during inspections seemed to be a very common occurrence.

Vivian witnessed all of this, feeling a bit regretful in her heart, "This Federation is already rotten and degenerate."

It was the upper echelons of the Federation that were decaying, and the whole society that was degenerating.

Demons did not force the Federation’s top, merely used formidable power as lure, and what was once the world’s most powerful country, in just a few years, became what it is now at an astonishing pace.

Vivian’s gaze skipped to a building on the side of the road.

On the wall, a slogan was boldly painted: "Resist Great Xia’s tyranny, be wary of Great Xia’s infiltration."

She shook her head, feeling this world is too mystical.

With her current power, she can freely transform between human and demon forms, currently being in human shape, where her human emotions surpass those of a demon, which is why she is quite sentimental.

At this moment.

A voice suddenly echoed inside her head, "Hello, Miss Vivian!"

Vivian was momentarily startled.

The next sentence from the voice made her relax, "I am the Spirit Realm wanderer, sent by Mr. Ghost to assist you."

This voice was naturally Zhuang Jun.

Vivian responded indifferently, "Hello!"

At first, she chose to accept the secret technique to become a demon, constantly being hunted by demons from the Red Flame Race.

Later, she received help from Yang Fan, obtained the Deceitful Artifact Hunting God’s Spear, and according to Yang Fan’s guidance, refined the deceitful artifact into a demon artifact.

Just half a month ago, she finally completed the refinement work and started taking the initiative to hunt demons from the Red Flame Race.

But she quickly realized one thing—she wasn’t good at tracking.

All the demons from the Red Flame Race avoided her, each hiding very well, making it difficult for her to find a demon.

Vivian asked again indifferently, "Wanderer, did Mr. Ghost tell you about our ultimate mission?"

Zhuang Jun listened somewhat confused, "No."

Vivian directly said, "The evidence I have shows that the Holy Seed Plan of the Red Flame Race is almost nearing completion.

"According to Mr. Ghost’s speculation, once the Holy Seed Plan is successfully executed, a fragment of a Demon Venerable will most likely descend onto Canglan Star.

"Mr. Ghost sent you to assist me to fully disrupt the demons’ Holy Seed Plan..."

In the ocean of spiritual light.

"...Stop the fragment of the Venerable’s descent!"

The phrase from Vivian’s soul’s spiritual light sent a huge surge of pressure into Zhuang Jun’s heart.

Holy crap!

I’m just a warrior, yet the boss wants me to stop the fragment of a Venerable’s descent, isn’t that thinking too highly of me?

Is this the world of the bosses, dealing with knights and Venerables just like that?

Zhuang Jun suddenly realized, "Ghost Lord arranged it this way, there must be some reason behind it, but I’m not at a high enough level to understand the details within."

In his bones, he possessed extraordinary resilience, quickly making up his mind, "Whatever this Venerable or not, I’ll do whatever the boss tells me to do."

Zhuang Jun suppressed his shock and replied in a calm tone, "Miss Vivian, I will do my utmost."

Vivian’s voice carried a tone of newfound respect, "Wanderer, you’re quite impressive; if the Venerable really descends, Canglan Star will most likely be destroyed, then I can take you to the Primordial World."

Zhuang Jun firmly refused the other party’s good intentions: "Thank you for your kindness, but if the Canglan Civilization is ever truly destroyed, I will undoubtedly have already died in battle before that."

Vivian curiously asked: "Aren’t you afraid of death?"

Zhuang Jun candidly replied: "Of course I’m afraid of death, but for me, Great Xia surpasses life and death."

Vivian was silent for a moment, then sighed: "You Great Xia People are a very strange group."

In the Spiritual Light perspective.

Vivian turned away from the balcony and entered a nearby bedroom.

Zhuang Jun glanced over and was immediately shocked.

He saw a horrifying male corpse lying on the bed in the bedroom, its mouth wide open, as if silently protesting something.

Notably, the corpse had no clothing whatsoever.

From this, it’s not difficult to deduce that the deceased must have been engaged in something indescribable at the time of death, drained by the Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique, and turned into a corpse.

Vivian seemed to sense Zhuang Jun’s shock and laughed: "Last night was too boring, so I found a Carmenia soldier as a snack."

Zhuang Jun was taken aback.

Using a living person as a snack? Truly a Demon, with such ruthless conduct.

He steered the conversation back: "Miss Vivian, earlier I discovered over two hundred hidden Red Flame Demons, with a dozen of them not far from you."

All of these were found through the Spiritual Light ocean.

Vivian spoke in an admiring tone: "No wonder Mr. Ghost brings you in as my assistant."

She suddenly cast a flirtatious glance: "If you want to experience my Pleasure Secret Technique, I guarantee you won’t be used as a sacrifice, and you’ll enjoy the utmost pleasure."

Zhuang Jun shuddered, managed a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I already have a girlfriend, and our relationship is very good."

Vivian hummed lightly: "Old-fashioned and boring Great Xia People."

Zhuang Jun’s face twitched.

Is this called old-fashioned and boring?

To you, an unorthodox person, in a normal human’s view, that’s insanely perverted, isn’t it!

Zhuang Jun said no more: "I’ll now tell you the information on the surrounding Demons."

He activated the Spirit Treasure Eye’s data transmission ability and sent over a stream of information.

After receiving the information, Vivian contemplated and muttered quietly: "Let’s start with the one called ’Kennedy.’"

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded within her.

Her pajamas instantly burst into powder, revealing a perfect body with alluring curves.

Zhuang Jun glanced briefly and had to admit, in terms of allure, this Demon knocked his girlfriend out cold, no wonder Carmenia soldiers fell so easily.

But moments later.

The seductive charm vanished, replaced by a sinister air that made one’s heart race.

Vivian’s skin rapidly grew black scales, her forehead sprouted a pair of horn-like protrusions, a sharp blade-like tail emerged, and her arms grew extremely sharp claws.

Just now, she was a stunning beauty.

Now she became a terrifying monster.

Zhuang Jun gulped, feeling his horizons widen.

He could sense very clearly that moments ago Vivian’s strength could merely be considered that of a relatively strong Superpower User, but after her transformation, she directly reached the High Rank Warrior Level.

Vivian suddenly giggled: "You might not know, Mr. Ghost taught me many Secret Techniques, including the current Demon transformation and the Pleasure Blood Sacrifice you saw.

"Without Mr. Ghost’s help, my strength would at most only reach Warrior Level."

Zhuang Jun was utterly shocked.

Impossible, right?!

The Ghost Lord also proficient in Demon Secret Techniques?

At this moment, in his mind, the image of Mr. Ghost had an earth-shattering transformation.

Vivian left behind a "gone," her figure "poofed" into a cloud of blood mist.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhuang Jun personally witnessed an extremely bloody massacre.

In the grand hall of a magnificent hotel, hundreds of elegantly dressed guests, along with numerous beautiful waitresses, had blood spurting from every pore, turning into a cloud of blood mist in the blink of an eye.

"Bang! Bang!"

Bodies exploded one after another.

The hall instantly became a nauseating flesh and blood slaughterhouse.

Each pile of flesh began to squirm, a blood mist transformed into a human silhouette emerged, rushing up to the second floor of the hotel.

Zhuang Jun instantly felt an unprecedented impact.

He had seen many cruel scenes on the battlefield, but such bloodiness was a first for him.

Vivian’s voice entered his ears: "This is the ’Blood Servant Blood Sacrifice,’ taught to me by Mr. Ghost two months ago, which I only mastered last week, and this is the first time I’ve successfully cast it."

She let out a charming laugh: "Wanderer, another hidden side of Mr. Ghost, has it deeply shaken your young heart?"

Zhuang Jun didn’t say anything.

But he acknowledged in his heart, that this female demon was right.
