Chapter 473: Chapter 373: The AI_1 Who Wants to Upgrade

The power of the curse quickly seeped in through vampirism; curses are not physical entities but special abilities. Under the influence of the infiltrating curse, Zheng Yichen began to feel his body stiffen, and the environment of Hell exerted a pulling and even tearing force on him.

The Bull God, with a ferocious expression, intently stared at Zheng Yichen. It saw the traces of various curses that had accumulated on Zheng Yichen’s face and body, among which were some of its most adept ones – the puppet curse, Vampirism Curse, Calamity Curse, and others. Beyond these curses, there was one that was even more special.

Reincarnation Curse.

This curse requires the blood pool of Hell. For Supreme Demons, the cost of using this curse is extraordinarily high; it is a curse that could involve the Supreme Demon itself. However, Supreme Demons usually do not undergo reincarnation unless they are crippled and suppressed by their own kind, which might make it possible.

For humans, this curse means eternal torment. Those inflicted with the Reincarnation Curse will not live past fifteen years of age, will have no offspring, and after death, will endlessly cycle through reincarnation. Memories will gradually recover with age, though in a chaotic manner.

At the moment of death, memories will be fully restored, but for the cursed individual, it also signals the beginning of the next painful cycle of reincarnation.

Moreover, this curse can blend with other curses. The Calamity Curse and Vampirism Curse will integrate into it, causing the person affected by the Reincarnation Curse to become an existence like the Heavenly Extermination Solitary Star, with gender in the cycles of reincarnation not always being consistent.

Zheng Yichen was already over fifteen years of age, the time when the effect of the Reincarnation Curse is most potent!

Moreover, the Reincarnation Curse is connected to Hell, and the place Zheng Yichen found himself in was, indeed, Hell!

The Bull God could see Zheng Yichen’s black-and-white hair rapidly turning to withered white, as thick Death Energy emerged from him.

Feeling the curse within him, Zheng Yichen twirled his long spear, pinning the heavily injured Bull God to the ground, stepping on its head. Despite this, the Bull God continued to laugh wildly. Though the Reincarnation Curse had taken effect and the other curses were secondary, their cumulative effect was not insignificant.

Zheng Yichen was already showing signs of the Celestial Being’s 5 Decays; it wouldn’t be long before he died!

Although Zheng Yichen would subsequently suffer the torment of reincarnation repeatedly due to the Reincarnation Curse, unable to live beyond the age of fifteen – a form of ’immortality,’ yet, this type of immortality was excruciatingly painful.

Before Zheng Yichen died, he just needed to hang on, and he had many ways to preserve his life. As for his own depletion, he could let himself drain away. The more power he used up, the harder it was to suppress the curses.

"Do you think you’ve won?" A mocking voice sounded. At that moment, Zheng Yichen replicated an action he had done after his initial Demonization; he thrust the black spear into his own body, and a surge of Power of Death burst forth.

The environment of Hell tore at him, while the Power of Death that filled his body pressed down that tearing force, making Zheng Yichen’s skin look as pale as a corpse’s, but the influence of the curses was suppressed.

The Bull God’s eyes widened. It was just about to say something when another black spear pierced through its eye socket, followed by a second spear. Power of Death corroded the Bull God’s body, and it could feel its Supreme Demon Blood rapidly being plundered.

It had been prepared for such an eventuality, but Zheng Yichen’s method of suppressing the curse caught it by surprise. It struggled with all its might against the power’s influence, and unlike the Wolf God, it did not face the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills head-on and become a buffoon incapable of resistance.

But such resistance only allowed it to hold on for less than a minute. The remaining horns were broken, skin and bones separated, and internal organs, muscles were pulverized – these injuries were not instantly fatal for a Supreme Demon, but the most lethal aspect was the influence of the Power of Death.

In its last struggles, the Bull God continuously attempted to trigger the curse upon Zheng Yichen. If Zheng Yichen died first, the severity of its injury would not matter; it would just need more time to recover, instead of truly dying.

Crack—

Only a skeletal head connected to its body was torn off from the Bull God, and its ravaged body turned to bone dust, as if weathered, upon separation from the head. The flesh remaining on that head withered rapidly, pierced from the crown by a black spear and nailed to the ground.

The surroundings turned into chaos amidst the Bull God’s final struggle, scattered with fragments of bone and flesh stripped from its body.

Amidst the din from the spear pierced into the ground, a piercing howl was heard. The Bull God’s soul was enveloped in Power of Death, weakening rapidly.

The approaching cat spirit, witnessing the ominously auraed Zheng Yichen, paced anxiously, not daring to get close. It was an existence akin to a Vengeful Spirit, an omen of misfortune, but Zheng Yichen’s current state instilled even greater fear in such a creature.

As the Supreme Demon’s Soul shattered, Zheng Yichen glimpsed that ’vacuum’ once more. However, this time he paid no attention to the vacuum as his consciousness was nearly pierced through by the surging demonic thoughts. Merely killing the Bull God was not enough to quell the frenzy in his heart.

It still wasn’t enough...

Zheng Yichen looked towards another direction.

The girl in red was frozen in place when those pitch-black eyes stared at her, but she subsequently cast aside the weapon in her hand, resolutely approaching Zheng Yichen. As she drew nearer to Zheng Yichen, the dye in her hair rapidly faded away, returning to its original blood red.

"Brother Chang Qing, no matter what you become, I’ll always be with you."

Watching Zheng Yichen, who seemed to have succumbed to demonization, the girl in red voluntarily chose to undergo Demonization as well.

The raised long spear tapped on the girl’s head, interrupting Liu Hongzhao’s self-induced Demonization. The black spear thrust into the sky, a destructive, blood-colored power coalesced into a beam of light, seemingly trying to pierce through the heavens of Hell. After the strike, the Black Light in Zheng Yichen’s eyes dissipated.

He took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead, "...I can still be trusted."

The girl in red quickly threw herself into Zheng Yichen’s arms. She held him tightly, and as she gently placed her hand on Liu Hongzhao’s back, Zheng Yichen’s eyes underwent a fierce change, and the remaining demonic thoughts were finally suppressed.

At that moment, Liu Hongzhao spoke, "Brother Chang Qing, no matter what you become, I will always stay by your side."

She wasn’t afraid of undergoing Demonization through martial arts training, but she feared that Zheng Yichen might become unrecognizable from his former self.

"What are you thinking about?" Zheng Yichen touched Liu Hongzhao’s hair, "I’m not that fragile."

Liu Hongzhao reached up to touch Zheng Yichen’s face, which looked exceptionally pale. When her fingers touched his skin, the girl didn’t feel the normal warmth of a living person, and she was indifferent to the dangerous traces of curses on Zheng Yichen’s body.

But Zheng Yichen pushed the girl in red away from his embrace, looking at his own hands, "For now, it’s better not to get too close to me. I need some time. How about you help me collect those things?"

Zheng Yichen looked into the distance, where there lay a gigantic horn left by the Bull God and, in another place, a shattered claw left by the Wolf God.

"Leave it to me," Liu Hongzhao answered, yet her gaze never left Zheng Yichen, as she was more worried about his current physical condition.

"Go ahead," Zheng Yichen said with a smile to Liu Hongzhao.

After she left, a projection appeared beside Zheng Yichen, "BOSS, your physical condition needs immediate adjustment."

A holographic screen appeared in front of him, displaying information detected by energy monitoring checks. Zheng Yichen’s body harbored a strong Power of Death, but this didn’t significantly affect him—it was just too intense, temporarily impacting his physical state and making him appear lifeless.

This Power of Death disguised the changes in Zheng Yichen’s body, influencing another power that caused him great harm. There are many branches sharing the same origin as that power, which is the curse of the Bull God. Now, Zheng Yichen is like a portable hard drive storing a vast amount of curse data.

Through energy monitoring, Lilith’s database was updated with a lot of information. Although the nature of these curses was unknown, in the future, similar reactions could be promptly compared. The priority of recording this part of the information wasn’t high.

The first priority was still the safety of Zheng Yichen.

"My hardware also needs an upgrade trial, the effective range of energy interference is severely inadequate," Lilith said in her distinct artificial intelligence tone. Energy interference could only affect basic Elemental attributes, and it had little effect on energies beyond that range.

If the range of interference were broad enough, the curses on Zheng Yichen’s body could be attempted to be dispelled through interference.

"But that requires corresponding hardware..." Zheng Yichen rubbed his forehead, suppressing the chaos within. The surging demonic thoughts had been consumed by his unleashed Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, but the residual effects wouldn’t disappear immediately. However, he was now starting to miss his previous state of madness.

Compared to the unbearable frenzy, the somewhat more stable state of cold indifference seemed better: "I’ll take some medicine."

Click—

A built-in storage compartment on the motorcycle opened, and Zheng Yichen took out some emergency medicine and tossed it into his mouth. This medication was to alleviate mental states, and while not very effective at this moment, it could still have a certain degree of impact.

Yet the inner madness and surging urge to kill were still difficult to dispel, and the Bull God’s last words made him now very, very eager to exterminate every last Supreme Demon... Initially, he had indeed come for the hunt, but now the nature of the situation had changed.

"Am I being too presumptuous?" He tossed the empty medicine bottle aside and sighed.

"BOSS, you are currently only having mental and psychological issues, your physical state is very good."
