Chapter 565 Tricking the Eternal Heavenly Maiden to Become a Follower
Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity admitted that she couldn't do anything to Jun Xiaoyao.
But for Jun Xiaoyao to deal with her was also impossible.
This nineteenth layer of Hell Star was her domain.
Every moment, endless energy was being channeled into her body.
So the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity in this nineteenth layer was practically an immortal existence.
Unless Jun Xiaoyao could destroy the entire Hell Star.
Jun Xiaoyao walked up to the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity, reached out to grip her jaw, and said coldly: "Don't act superior in front of this Divine Son. You're nothing but a being formed from the resentment and karmic forces of cultivators buried on the Imperial Road."
"If you truly provoke me, destroying the entire Hell Star isn't impossible."
Jun Xiaoyao couldn't accomplish this by himself right now.
But the power behind him could.
"So, what else do you want?"
Because she suspected Jun Xiaoyao might be a Destiny Void Being, the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity was wary and didn't make any moves.
If she were an ordinary woman, being this close to Jun Xiaoyao would likely make her blush and her heart race.
But the Eternal Goddess wouldn't. She was purely a being formed from the convergence of sin and resentment, with almost no human emotions.
"Your abilities aren't bad. You qualify to be this Divine Son's follower," Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
Jun Xiaoyao intended to create followers like his father had, the Eight Divine King's Divisions.
So he had always been on the lookout for talented individuals who caught his eye.
And up until now, Jun Xiaoyao had three followers.
Ancient Imperial Clan descendant Yi Yu, Devouring God Demonic Art inheritor Yan Qingying, and Reincarnation Sacred Body Wangchuan.
As for the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity, though her origins were special, her terrifying ability to control karma and sin made her truly a rare talent.
"What, you want to take me as your follower?"
Even the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity was stunned, her beautiful face marked with black curse patterns frozen in shock.
Who was she?
The controller of the nineteenth layer of Hell.
The embodiment of sinful power.
Feared by countless people, becoming one of the legendary Seven Great Mysteries.
Yet now, Jun Xiaoyao was saying he wanted to take her as his follower.
This was simply insane.
"Are you joking?" the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity asked coldly.
"From your speech and behavior, I can tell you've developed your own thoughts and soul."
"Are you really willing to stay forever in this godforsaken place?"
"Besides, putting it nicely, you're the controller of karmic forces, but less nicely, you're nothing but a puppet of those vengeful spirits."
Jun Xiaoyao's words were like needles, piercing into the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity's heart.
Indeed, the meaning of her existence was merely the resentment of countless cultivators buried on the Imperial Road.
In plain terms, she was just a tool.
And one forever restricted in her freedom.
"You control karma and sin, yet cannot sever your own karma. Isn't that also a tragedy?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
He felt like a religious con man, deceiving someone.
And the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity had always stayed in the nineteenth layer of Hell Star.
Her thinking, in some ways, was quite simple.
Compared to Jun Xiaoyao, who was full of dark schemes, she appeared quite naive.
"Besides, to tell you the truth, only I have the ability to give you freedom, and I promise to help you break free from the restraints of resentment and gain true freedom."
Jun Xiaoyao continued his persuasive speech.
The Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity finally showed some interest and asked, "You can truly give me freedom?"
"Of course," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
"But I cannot leave Hell Star, and Hell Star is the source of my power. If I leave, my power will weaken significantly," the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity said.
"Don't worry about that. If you agree, I will naturally return in the future to take you away."
"As for your power source, I'll find a solution when the time comes. Besides, with your talent, even without Hell Star, your future strength won't be weak," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Then... alright," the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity nodded.
She truly wanted to break free from the influence of those resentful spirits and gain freedom.
Jun Xiaoyao had merely awakened this desire within her.
Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
Since the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity had agreed, this established a karmic connection.
However, right now, Jun Xiaoyao alone didn't have the ability to take the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity away.
But there would definitely be an opportunity in the future.
"What now? Are you leaving?" the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity asked.
"Of course not. Having come all the way to the nineteenth layer of Hell, how could I leave so easily?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
Since he had entered the depths of Hell Star, the Supreme Bone in his chest had been constantly heating up.
"Could it be... that my Supreme Bone's third divine ability is about to awaken?" Jun Xiaoyao wondered.
His Supreme Bone's first divine ability was the Power of Heaven, and the second was the Power of Reincarnation.
Could this third divine ability be the Power of Sin?
With this thought, Jun Xiaoyao sat down cross-legged and activated the Supreme Bone.
Instantly, the Supreme Bone radiated ten thousand rays of divine light, and a terrifying suction force erupted.
The surrounding sinful power and lotus karma fire all surged toward Jun Xiaoyao's chest like rivers flowing into the sea.
This scene was mind-blowing!
The Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity also took a deep breath, not expecting Jun Xiaoyao to undergo such a transformation.
"Indeed, it seems my Supreme Bone's third divine ability is related to the power of sin. In that case..."
Jun Xiaoyao opened his arms and fully activated the Supreme Bone.
"Thousands of karmic connections, all added to my body; eternal sin, all return to my form!"
Jun Xiaoyao used his Supreme Bone to absorb the endless karmic force from the nineteenth layer of Hell Star!
He seemed to become the center of hell!
A terrifying power appeared to be gradually brewing, gathering, and awakening in Jun Xiaoyao's chest.
In his chest, that crystal-bright Supreme Bone seemed to be defiled, starting to be contaminated with a dark red color, carrying a demonic intent and sinful power!
Clearly, the power of this Supreme Bone's third divine ability would be extremely bizarre and terrifying!
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao's Supreme Bone didn't have much presence because Jun Xiaoyao could sweep through everything with just his Ancient Sacred Body, without needing to use the Supreme Bone.
But now, as Jun Xiaoyao's Supreme Bone's third divine ability was about to awaken, the power of this bone would be revealed.
Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao vaguely seemed to have gained some insight.
"Karma, sin, creation..."
Jun Xiaoyao murmured as he sat cross-legged, with a strand of sinful immortal energy appearing on his body.
Endless sinful power formed a cocoon, enveloping him within.
Seeing this scene, the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity also showed silent shock.
She had never seen anyone who could use sinful power so proficiently.
"Is this the power of a Destiny Void Being?" the Eternal Goddess of Perpetuity secretly wondered.
If Jun Xiaoyao truly was the legendary Destiny Void Being, then being his follower wouldn't be humiliating, but rather an honor.
Jun Xiaoyao maintained this state continuously.
Time passed imperceptibly, and more than half a year had gone by.
Outside Hell Star, the cultivation grounds were filled with clamor, everyone discussing matters concerning Jun Xiaoyao.
