Curse of Death, one of Diaochan's Daos that slingshot her status to Second Alter's main wife, had a lot of potentials. However, due to the suppression of Lilith and Devil, combined with Diaochan's uncooperative attitude, Second Alter couldn't make full use of this power.
The Dao was inspired by the nature of negative karma. The original creator, Diaochan, believed that she could use negative karma threads and energy like a curse, and she came up with this Dao.
The Curse of Death Dao gave Diaochan the power to decrease lifespan and inflict random illness on her opponents. Whenever she sacrificed her undead creatures or living beings to curse her opponents, her victims would be branded with a Grim Reaper's Mark, and their luck would continue to decrease. Once the victim's luck was depleted, they would always die by a strange accident.
It was not very useful against clones in Miaomiao's dantian space. However, it was useful against real opponents with limited luck and lifespan.
And now, Miaomiao had comprehended it.
Miaomiao's third pylon tower transformed into a 10 kilometer tall Dao Pillar and stood at the center of the Unholy Karma Element Continent.
After the Dao Pillar construction had been completed, Miaomiao sat on the ground to rest, watching how a million karma snakes fought to claim the right to coil around the Dao Pillar.
Soon, the entire tower was covered by sinister giant snakes. The sight reminded him of various religious symbols, such as a cross with a snake or a cross with double snakes.
While Miaomiao was catching his breath, Diaochan crawled to him, wiggling her butt and begging to be punished.
"Master, your little whore has been bad. Please punish me."
"…"
Not wanting to waste time having sex, Miaomiao transformed his penetrator into several tentacles and violated her mouth, anus, and front hole.
It took Miaomiao a day to regenerate his luck energy and Life Essence to the fullest with a bit of distraction.
While Diaochan was being played by the tentacle penetrators, Miaomiao pulled back the negative karma strands inside her and replenish her strength.
Then, Miaomiao threw Diaochan, who was soaked by his tentacle's semen, to the Dao Pillar. He formed a hand incantation and began to chant.
Diaochan's soul was sucked into the Dao Pillar, and she slowly transformed because of the Dao. Her skin, sclera, and pupils became the same as Miaomiao's because of the negative karma. Yet, her stunning beauty and ideal three-size remained the same.
…
A year later in the space, nine 10 kilometer tall totems surrounded the Curse of Death Dao Totem, which was upgraded from the previous Dao Pillar. Diaochan merged with the new embryo of this Dao Totem, and successfully became Miaomiao's second Totem Nascent Soul.
A new Dao Sentinel was created, and Miaomiao could summon Diaochan to the real world as his assistant now.
Miaomiao swiped his sweat and nodded, being proud of his hard work.
As Miaomiao was about to check on Xie Tian to consult with him regarding the next Dao Totem, he sensed someone in the hotel room, near his real body.
Although Miaomiao could split his consciousness to cultivate here while he was operating in the real world, he decided to use only one consciousness for now since the visitors were all immortals.
…
Real World, Hotel Room Top Floor
Miaomiao opened his eyes and gazed at the uninvited guests.
Lilim brought her goons over. Her subordinates pointed their lances, spears, and halberds at Miaomiao's neck while he was sitting on a king-sized bed.
"Brat, you're under arrest. Come with us or die."
Miaomiao smirked, "Under arrest? What's the charge? What did I do?"
"You crippled my mother."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Then, you got the wrong person. I'm a useless mortal that can't even harm a weak immortal. How could I cripple her majesty Lilith?"
"Don't pretend that you know nothing! You were the only one with my mother a few days ago!"
"Only one? Are you sure? I'm positive that there were many immortals in this room with her that day. It could have been them."
"No. The culprit was you! It can be only you!"
"What's the proof? Where's the evidence?"
"Want to see a proof? Here you go!"
Lilim brought a record orb and showed him the CCTV hologram of that day.
The hologram quality was top-notch. Miaomiao could zoom in to the point that he could see microorganisms, aka random spiritual parasites, on Lilith's skin.
It was disgusting. Miaomiao couldn't believe that a beautiful deity like her didn't take a bath properly like the smelly local cultivators.
While Miaomiao was zooming to inspect Lilith's parasites, Lilim fast-forwarded the hologram and showed him the incident.
She paused the hologram at the moment a hole appeared in Lilith's chest.
"This is it! Are you going to deny your deed?"
"Huh," Miaomiao sighed. "How did I create a hole in her chest, then? I didn't even move or touch her."
"YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE IN FRONT OF HER, YOU IDIOT! IT MUST BE YOU!!"
Indeed, Miaomiao was a suspect in this case, but Lilim literally had no proof of him doing it. It was merely her conjecture.
"By the way, this is a nice record device here. Can you check someone's Qi circulation and aura with this thing?"
"Of course, we can!"
Miaomiao sneered and pointed at the hologram, "Can you replay the hologram frame-by-frame? Replay everything in slow-motion and pay attention to my Qi circulation and movements.
Lilim snorted and did what Miaomiao had asked, but Lilim's subordinates looked reluctant.
The hologram was replayed frame-by-frame.
When a hole in the chest of Lilith appeared, everyone stared at Miaomiao in the hologram.
However, he made no movement. His arms and hands were by his sides, and he didn't circulate his Qi.
He didn't do anything!
"…"
Lilim's face turned ugly. She yelled at Miaomiao, "It must be you! My divine deduction tells me it's you!"
"Deduction? Are you going to believe YOUR DEDUCTION over the SOLID PROOF?"
"Y-You…"
Lilim was infuriated. She was confident that Miaomiao should be the one responsible for her mother's injuries since she saw a faint karma string in Lilith's chest.
A knot of that karma was tied inside her. As for the other end, it pointed at Miaomiao's belly, but it wasn't tied with anything. It was as if the karma thread couldn't locate the assailant, or the culprit was hiding inside Miaomiao's body!
That day of the incident, Lilim was nearby. She saw her mother's mysterious hole in her chest and was panicked. Along with the other subordinates of Lilith, Lilim followed her mother to the Netherworld Realm to ensure her safety.
However, she had seen Miaomiao's expression that day.
After Lilith was injured, Miaomiao didn't seem surprised. He was too calm that it aroused her suspicion.
Lilim consulted this with everyone, including Devil, who came to check on her mother. Unfortunately, Devil didn't say anything regarding Miaomiao.
Thus, she came here to find fault with him first. Then, she could extract more information from him later.
While Lilim was stomping her feet and trying to come up with an excuse to win the argument, Miaomiao's golden pupils scanned the room, reading the invisible karma strings around him.
Then, he discovered a long strand of karma, which was pointing at his abdomen. However, it didn't touch Miaomiao, only following him.
'Haiz. You aren't very thorough, Xie Tian. You left behind evidence.'
Miaomiao disabled his eye abilities and turned to Lilim. He changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that a loose Cathulhu from Mu-Nyang's Constellation is lurking on this planet. I think you should investigate that since it might connect to this case."
"… This is the first time I hear about this. And… who's Mu-Nyang?"
"How come you don't even know the name of your mother's rival? He's the hero of the first Player Calamity!"
"O-Oh, I see," Lilim looked away and broke a sweat. But a second later, she turned to Miaomiao and yelled at him again, "Don't change the subject. Just come with me or die!"
The subordinates of Lilim returned their attention to Miaomiao and resumed their stance.
Miaomiao slowly raised his hands over his head, but he summoned one of his familiar to the real world.
Meowmeow, the catopus, appeared out of a magic circle above Miaomiao's head.
"What a cute monster!" One of Lilim's subordinates exclaimed. Then, everyone looked at the catopus.
Lilim stared blankly at the cat for a moment as she was captivated by its cuteness as well.
Before everyone could get back on their senses, Miaomiao's voice sounded in Meowmeow's mind.
'Can you use a sound wave to attract Mu-Nyang's attention?'
Miaomiao had an idea. Since Mu-Nyang seemed to be strong enough to intimidate Devil in the other timelines, he believed that the cat deity might notice Meowmeow's SOS if the latter were to cry for help.
Meowmeow's ears perked up, 'Calling the God, Munya? I doubt he could hear me.'
'Just try. I need you to create a distraction.'
'Okay… It's embarrassing since I have to yowl like I were in a mating season. I want a piece of Catnipium ore after this, Munya!'
'I'll give you ten catnips. Just try to call him.'
'You should have said that earlier, Munya!'
Meowmeow's head was bloated like a balloon. Then, he yowled.
"MU-NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
The vibrating high-pitched sound of the cat was barely audible. As soon as Meowmeow cried, the girls laughed, thinking that the cat just meowed.
"How cute."
Lilim coughed and looked at her subordinates, "Once we bring this man to our prison, take this cat with us and sever their pact. I want him as my pet!"
"Hahahaha! Okay, your highness!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe subordinates giggled and turned their attention to Miaomiao.
Suddenly
BOOM
A strange cultivator in a hooded cloth destroyed a section of the wall and entered the room. His jet-black pupils expanded as he scanned the room for the source of the noise just now.
Upon finding Meowmeow, the mysterious man widened his eyes, "What the fuck, Munya!? Your voice was too sexy! I thought a sexy pussy is asking this father's sperm, Munya!"
The newcomer was the Cathulhu in hiding, who was also a wanted man. Upon hearing Meowmeow's mating cry, he rushed here by instinct.
But he got baited.
The catopus smiled at the newcomer, "Oh, hi, Munya! Never thought of seeing a fellow comrade here… wait a minute, how did you come here?! I thought all of us are supposed to stay on their planets, Munya!"
Meanwhile, Miaomiao took a deep breath and bellowed, "LORD MU-NYANG, I'VE LOCATED THE RUNAWAY CATHULHU!! IF YOU HEAR THIS, TAKE ME AND THE FUGITIVE TO YOUR PLANET ASAP!!"
"DAMN YOU!!"
The clothes of the man were ripped, and the cathulhu revealed his true form. He transformed into a ten-kilometer tall cathulhu with a large head and several hundred tentacles, breaking the roof of the hotel. His weight crushed a few floors of the grand building.
As for his aura, it was similar to a low-tier deity!
He had been devouring human cultivators and stray immortals on the Holy Land Continent. He got a lot stronger than before!
The sudden appearance of a gigantic cathulhu shocked everyone nearby, including the people inside the stadium. Even Lilim, who was confident in her power, was intimidated.
"Retreat!"
Lilim opened a portal to the Netherworld Realm, planning to flee from here. She didn't want to fight a strange monster, who seemed to have devoured so many immortal souls.
However, she didn't forget to drag Miaomiao and Meowmeow along with her. Using with only her divine force, she pulled him toward the portal.
As Miaomiao got closer to the portal, he took a deep breath and recited the magic words.
'Za Warudo! Toki wo Tomare!'
CLICK
A domain expanded and covered the entire flying continent. Then, everything inside the massive dome stopped moving.
Everything was frozen and darkened. No one but Miaomiao could move in this Chrono Element Domain.
The power to stop time was activated.
Even Karen couldn't move or sense the power of time!
Unfortunately, Miaomiao hadn't completely constructed the Chrono Element Continent yet. He could only pause time for two seconds at the cost of 90% of his Qi, and his range only covered a small area. It would take a log time before he could freeze the entire universe.
Two seconds were enough for him to break free from Lilim's power. Miaomiao released himself from Lilim's invisible bind and cut the karma string, which was left behind by Xie Tian.
The evidence was destroyed. Lilim shouldn't be able to connect the dots once the karma string was gone.
But instead of using the remaining second to flee, Miaomiao punched Lilim to the face!
No more Mr. Nice Guy, Miaomiao now believed in gender equality. Even a bitch deserved a good punch to the face!
He also activated the Dao of Plot Armor Plundering and the Dao of Death Curse.
He stole a portion of Lilim's negative karma, luck, and random Qi that he could gather. At the same time, he sacrificed the living karma centipedes inside him to brand her with the Grim Reaper's Mark!
Even if he couldn't possibly kill Lilim with his current power, he could curse her!
