Stronger with Crimson Modifier

However, it is now too late.

"In this world, you are no match for me."

At this moment, the Confucian scholar who had been silent in the center slowly spoke. His voice was calm, yet it carried an unfathomable authority.

Before his words had even faded, the monk and the Daoist standing beside him both took a step forward. Their figures became as transparent as phantoms and silently merged into the scholar's body.

In an instant, the scholar's aura surged explosively, as if all the power between heaven and earth had converged within him.

Although he spoke as if he held Hu Qi in contempt, he was, after all, facing the Snake of Destruction, a fellow overlord of the Spirit Realm.

He would not be careless.

This current state, a fusion of three beings into one, was his strongest form.

Then, he raised his hand and waved. A brilliant Flowing Light shot toward the Heaven-Sealing Stele in the center of the Immortal Court.

The Flowing Light sank into the stele's body, and the Heaven-Sealing Stele immediately erupted with a dazzling white light that illuminated the entire world.

"Seal heaven and earth! Let the cosmos be inverted, and all laws return to one! Suppress! Net of Fate, bind!"

As his voice thundered through the clouds, the power of the Heaven-Sealing Stele was fully unleashed.

A formidable restrictive power materialized out of thin air.

It was as if in that instant, the air all around Hu Qi solidified, and his every attempt to move became exceedingly sluggish.

At the same time, the Net of Fate, which had been hidden in the void, suddenly appeared. Countless threads interwove, forming a colossal net that blotted out the sky and completely sealed the entire space.

Seeing this, Hu Qi violently whipped his tail, lashing out at the Net of Fate. However, the net was like an incredibly elastic thread; no matter how he attacked, he could not break through it.

The Profound Yin Heavy Water, the Destruction Beam from his Primordial Eye, and the Twisted Light bombarded the net one after another. Although they could briefly tear a small hole, it would mend itself in the next instant.

This part of the world was now completely enveloped by the Net of Fate. There was no escape.

Seeing Hu Qi struggling in the net, the scholar smiled faintly.

His voice echoed in Hu Qi's ears.

"It's useless. I don't understand what method you used to evade fate."

"But ever since you killed those Immortals, you have been marked by destiny."

"Unless your power is great enough to destroy the entire Cangzhou Realm, you have no hope of breaking free."

Before his voice faded, the Net of Fate suddenly constricted, tightly enveloping Hu Qi's body.

From a distance, he looked like a small snake trapped in a giant net.

The Net of Fate, meanwhile, resembled a massive ball of yarn, constantly writhing as it tried to force its threads of fate into Hu Qi's body and turn him into a Puppet of fate.

However, Hu Qi's body was covered by a layer of Twisted Light.

The moment the threads of fate touched it, they would snap, completely unable to penetrate his body.

But upon seeing this, the scholar was not anxious.

His opponent was already trapped within the Net of Fate.

'It's only a matter of time before he's parasitized and controlled by fate.'

Faced with this desperate situation, Hu Qi appeared to be struggling constantly.

But the look in his crimson snake eyes was exceptionally calm.

'My opponent's methods are indeed troublesome.'

'Killing him will be difficult.'

'But if I truly wanted to escape, it's not like there's no way.'

His recent actions were merely a facade to mislead his opponent.

At this thought, he stared ahead, and a line of crimson text slowly materialized:

[Essence accumulation complete. Divinity transformation progress: 1%△]

At this very moment, his essence had already met the requirements to advance to a True God.

However, the progress was currently only at one percent.

According to Hu Qi's calculations, it would take several years at the very least to complete the transformation.

Under normal circumstances, that would be nothing.

But right now, Hu Qi obviously couldn't wait that long.

His gaze shifted to the Modification Point column.

[Modification Points: 267,100 (12%)]

After he slaughtered all those Cultivators and the Demon Race, in addition to the thirty-six Immortals, his accumulated Modification Points had reached a whole new level.

A total of over two hundred and sixty thousand.

'Crimson! Modify it for me! Accelerate the Divinity transformation!'

As Hu Qi's thought command fell, the panel shook violently, and all the text began to distort.

This had never happened before.

But Hu Qi couldn't be bothered with that now.

All his attention was focused on the changes within his body.

After he gave the command, the vast energy converted from his Modification Points poured into his body.

Through Introspection, he saw the four Spirit Seeds within him all melt away, completely integrating into his body.

Certain things that had been slowly changing began to transform rapidly, as if an acceleration button had been pressed.

A few breaths later, with a 'CRACK', a transparent, pale golden light slowly emerged from the depths of Hu Qi's consciousness, like the first light of dawn.

As the light gradually condensed, it formed a single strand of gold, dazzling to behold, radiating an immortal and sacred aura.

Divinity!

The moment it appeared, this realization flooded Hu Qi's mind.

Once the golden Divinity appeared, it quickly sprouted several branches, spreading and growing continuously like the Tree of Life.

They interwove into a golden network that swiftly occupied Hu Qi's soul before spreading toward his physical body.

At the same time, his consciousness was elevated infinitely, climbing ever higher.

In just an instant, his consciousness broke free from the entire world.

Soon, he came into contact with a vast, boundless, and terrifying will.

In his perception, he 'saw' a black dot.

The instant his gaze made contact, a supreme, deathly still, and ice-cold aura spread out.

It felt as if it would freeze his very soul.

Affected by this, Hu Qi's already cold personality grew even more indifferent.

All distracting thoughts vanished.

It was as if nothing in the world mattered in his eyes.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment.

A cool stream of air flowed through him. It jolted Hu Qi's will, and he came to his senses.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong.

He hastily focused his will to protect his mind, not daring to look directly at that black hole again.

Just then, a vast amount of information emerged.

It was information gifted from the Spirit Realm—secrets that only a True God could know.

...

On the ground below, the common people had already fainted.

Seeing this, countless Cultivators had looks of excitement.

It was as if justice had finally triumphed over evil.

The Snake Demon was bound, and the dawn of victory was at hand.

In contrast, the members of the Demon Race looked ashen-faced, their eyes filled with incredulous despair.

'This Demon Immortal, who once slaughtered thirty-six Immortals, was suppressed just like that?'

...

The scholar—the Fate Weaver named Zalasos—gazed at Hu Qi, who was tightly bound by the great Net of Fate and suppressed by the Heaven-Sealing Stele.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

As a Fate Weaver, his greatest pleasure was to toy with destiny, turning the threads of fate into a web that he held firmly in his grasp.

Controlling the destinies of more powerful beings also brought him greater joy.

Originally, under normal circumstances, he would have needed to wait at least a thousand years to achieve his goal.

But now, with this powerful Snake of Destruction, once he completely controlled its destiny, not only would he gain a top-tier Apostle Level combatant, but as the Snake of Destruction, the destiny it carried was bound to be exceptionally terrifying.

And he could reap even greater benefits from it.

The essence he had accumulated might even take a huge leap forward.

As he was pondering this,

SNAP!

It was as if some kind of thread had snapped.

Zalasos's body froze.

He abruptly came to his senses.

He looked down.

What met his eyes, below, was a golden radiance seeping out from the threads of fate that had enveloped Hu Qi.

The moment they came into contact with it, the threads of fate melted and snapped apart like snow touching the scorching sun.

"No, how is this possible? This... this is the aura of a True... a True God?!"

Zalasos's pitch-black eyes shrank abruptly, as if he were witnessing the most terrifying sight in the world. His face was filled with horror and disbelief, like he had just seen a ghost.

After he reacted, fine ripples appeared on the surface of his body, spreading rapidly like waves on a calm lake after a boulder is thrown in.

In the blink of an eye, the ripples solidified.

Then, with a dull and gruesome "SHLICK," like a sharp blade slicing through cloth, several pale arms tore through his skin and reached out.

At that moment, he had actually torn apart the Human Race skin he used as a Disguise, revealing his true form.

In an instant, the Immortal was gone, replaced by a monster.

His entire body exuded a primordial and sinister aura, as if he were a Demon that had crawled out of the Hell Abyss.
