I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 302: A Ruthless Person

"The Wolf God," said the Land God.

Next to the cavern, even though the Land God Li Shan looked withered and distressed, he still respectfully saluted Lu Heng.

Now that the strange and eerie aura inside the cave has dissipated, even Li Shan dares to approach the cave.

Li Shan's heart was filled with awe.

Lu Heng smiled in return and then looked down at the cave, which was no longer eerie.

He said, "It seems that the evil demons of this place have been dispelled."

Although he said these words, Lu Heng didn't plan to jump in directly.

This cave was incredibly deep. Previously, it was only estimated to be bottomless based on visual observation. However, now that the evil demons have been dispelled and Lu Heng's divine awareness can scan everything inside, he realized that he had underestimated the depth of this cave.

This nearly vertical cave was as deep as 99,000 feet.

If you were to say such a depth out loud, it would be enough to scare someone to death.

If an ordinary person were to fall into it, they wouldn't even touch the bottom for a while.

Out of caution, Lu Heng didn't enter it. Instead, he used the technique of controlling objects to lift the big cauldron out of the cave.

Inside the pitch-black cave, a cauldron full of cracks kept rising. The viscous green liquid inside it remained still, like solidified gel.

When the entire cauldron finally emerged from the cave and appeared in the sunlight, the green liquid inside it began to bubble and gurgle upon exposure to the sun.

A strange odor kept emanating continuously.

Soon, about 80% of the cauldron's green liquid evaporated rapidly. In the end, only about 20% remained in the cauldron. Moreover, this remaining 20% of the liquid was no longer green, but an incredibly clear and transparent liquid.

Furthermore, when a gentle breeze blew past, the residual liquid emitted a delicate and elegant fragrance, like a rare and exquisite wine that is rarely found in the human world.

Lu Heng and the other two people were suspended two meters above the ground, looking down at the cauldron which was over three meters high. They also gazed curiously at the liquid inside the cauldron that had lost its pale green color and regained its transparency.

Li Shan, the Land God, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said, "Could this be the legendary ancient godly brew?"

Lu Heng gave it a strange look and said, "There's still a corpse soaking inside it… Would you dare to drink it?"

The words of Lu Heng made the huge lynx smile awkwardly and it lowered its head in embarrassment.

The cauldron was now covered with tiny cracks, but it should not shatter unless it was struck by a powerful external force.

The cauldron was engraved with grotesque and hideous faces, all of which had the same appearance - a woman with bleeding eyes, a frightened expression, and an open scream.

Just by its appearance, this cauldron exuded an evil nature that made people feel uneasy, not to mention the fact that there was a gnawed female corpse soaking inside it.

Even though the liquor inside this cauldron is clear and fragrant, like a divine wine, it still makes people too scared to drink it now.

Watching this scene, Xiao Ai looked up and down, and suddenly spoke up.

"This is an ancient evil ritual, the Pregnant Evil Embryos."

As Lu Heng looked on in surprise, Xiao Ai said, "The Pregnant Evil Cauldron is made by using the body of a top cultivator as the main ingredient, supplemented by top-notch wine and 81 types of rare treasures from heaven and earth. It is buried in the deep underground and cooked with real fire using a special technique for 81 years, before it is consumed… After consumption, it can prolong life for thousands of years, a preparation made by top evil demons to extend their lives when their destiny is close to an end."

Xiao Ai's narrative left Lu Heng greatly surprised.

"Did your mother tell you this too?" Your mother seems to know too much, doesn't she?

But this time, Xiao Ai shook her head and said, "It was when I was reading through some books in the collection at Fu Shan City that I chanced upon this piece of trivia."

Lu Heng nodded with sudden realization, "I see."

Prior to this, in Fu Shan City, Lu Heng was granted permission to access many secret books on cultivating techniques.

Although Xiao Ai didn't have such privileges, she was granted access to all the diverse books in the library.

The little girl enjoyed the feeling of explaining in detail to the Wolf God every time he encountered something he was not familiar with, so she devoted her spare time to thoroughly reading all the miscellaneous books in the entire library.

Remembered numerous rumors and knowledge related to the world of cultivation.

Now it was useful, she recognized the identity of this large cauldron at a glance.

After hearing Xiao Ai's explanation, Lu Heng lowered his head and looked at the woman's body floating in the cauldron. He said, "Since it is the Pregnant Evil Embryos, the body in the cauldron was supposed to be used for blood food to extend life… Then why does this corpse still exist? Aside from a few bite marks, this body seems intact, isn't it?"

Saying nothing, Lu Heng directly waved his hand and shattered the large cauldron in front of him.

The large cauldron, now without its sinister ability, was as fragile as a thin paper in front of Lu Heng. With a gentle breeze blowing by, the entire cauldron crumbled and dissipated into the swamp, turning into scattered dust particles in the air.

But the liquid inside the cauldron and the woman's body in it still floated in the void, supported by an invisible force.

Lu Heng circled around and examined it carefully, only then did he notice something peculiar.

"This woman seems to have suffered a heavy injury, and her origin is damaged… Was she caught by the demonic creature after being injured? Or was she injured after being caught by the demonic creature?"

Lu Heng frowned, pondered for a moment, then discovered another strange thing, "Hmm? There seems to be something in the woman's mouth…"

As he spoke, Lu Heng had a thought, and the body of the woman suspended in the liquid opened her mouth.

Then, a half-chewed finger fell out of the woman's mouth, appearing in the sight of Lu Heng and the others.

"This…"

At the sight of this half-chewed finger, Lu Heng and the other two were all stunned.

Although the finger was chewed badly, it still had a residue of sinister energy, obviously belonging to a demon before it died.

Looking at the woman's body floating in the liquid with bite marks all over it, Lu Heng came up with a terrifying conjecture.

"This woman was used as blood sacrifice to cultivate, but she not only managed to survive the ordeal, also turned the table on the demon which tried to cook her and even devoured it?!"

Lu Heng's eyes widened slightly.

He examined the woman's body in front of him again and saw the cruel expression on her face. It seemed as if he could visualize the pleasure and delight she had while devouring the demon alive in her dying moments.

Furthermore, the fact that she was able to resist and kill the demon even in her dying moments implies that her strength at her peak was definitely not inferior to the demon that wanted to eat her.

In other words, this woman must have been injured in a fight and taken advantage of by the demon for blood sacrifice. During the ritual, the woman struggled and ultimately killed the demon by devouring it alive, resulting in both of them perishing.

With this thought, Lu Heng's emotions were inevitably shaken.

Looking again at the woman's corpse with the fierce and joyful expression, a hint of respect rose in him.

…This young lady, she's quite the fierce one!

Clearly, she was a righteous cultivator and also a female one at that, yet she acted so fiercely and ruthlessly when pushed to the brink…

Thinking again about how after being revived by borrowing a corpse, the first thing this young lady did was to arrogantly seek trouble with the strongest person of this generation…

Lu Heng held his forehead and murmured, "Friend Jiu Mie, oh Friend Jiu Mie, I wonder if you can withstand the opponent this time… "

If you can't handle it, then I will be in danger.
