The Unruly Immortals

"Hey! Hey! Li Huowang, what are you doing! Why are you biting the dice! Those cheat dice may have mercury inside!"

Seeing Li Huowang's strange behavior, Chen Hongyu ran over, reached into Li Huowang's mouth, and tried to snatch the dice away.

"Quick! Spit it out and rinse your mouth immediately! Liquid mercury is highly toxic! Do you want to die?" Wu Qi took a glass of milk from the fridge and held it in front of Li Huowang.

Even though everyone was trying to stop him, Li Huowang had no intention of letting go. His gums started bleeding, yet he kept increasing the pressure; today the dice must die!

"Ha~ Another good show to watch." Ba Nanxu, with an amused smile, lay on the sofa and brushed her phone while watching the commotion from afar.

While the chaos ensued, Qing Wanglai approached with a smile, first wrapping his arm around Li Huowang's shoulders, then he clenched his right fist and delivered a left hook punch to Li Huowang's stomach.

A muffled "bang" sounded as the powerful force sent Li Huowang flying upward, forcing the cracked dice out of his mouth.

Quickly withdrawing the hand that hit Li Huowang's stomach, Qing Wanglai caught the cracked dice in his palm.

"Li Huowang, don't be rash, no matter what happens, stay calm. We are here for you," Qing Wanglai said, passing the milk Wu Qi handed over.

"Rinse your mouth first, then drink it all. Proteins in milk will chelate with mercury, preventing your body from absorbing it. Mercury is no joke; ingesting it can truly be fatal."

Li Huowang slapped the milk away, his eyes fixed intently on the dice in Qing Wanglai's hand.

Li Huowang swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva, reaching to grab the dice back, but Qing Wanglai refused, fearing he might chew it up again.

"Dice! You think having a new backer lets you do whatever you want? Let me tell you! Fate Commander will always be Fate Commander; in this battle, this guy is only fit to be a pawn!!"

Upon hearing Li Huowang's words, the battered dice seemed unconcerned about its injuries and spoke with a grin: "Listen to yourself, everyone needs a purpose, right? Compared to being a dice, I'd rather be the one throwing it. Without purpose, what's the difference between being alive or dead?"

"Besides, I can't partner with you; you're far too unreliable, don't forget even Zhuge Yuan couldn't trust you back then."

"Die!" With Li Huowang's furious shout, the dice shattered into pieces.

But as its head rolled on the ground, spinning, the dice showed no fear towards the Seven Wheels Li Huowang.

"Hehehe~ Li Huowang, you're probably running out of time to waste on me, look, Zuo Qiuyong isn't doing well."

Hearing this, Li Huowang immediately turned his head to see Zuo Qiuyong was nowhere in sight but replaced by a pool of twisting, multicolored dark liquid.

Li Huowang recognized this substance; it originated from Fusheng Heaven! Back then, the entire Da Qi was covered by this stuff, leaving no grass alive!

A chill shot up his spine. "Not good! This guy isn't just targeting Zuo Qiuyong's doppelganger; his massive flesh body is in danger too!"

With the traitor eliminated, Zuo Qiuyong was now on their side. If anything happened to his physical body Fate Commander, their side would suffer a significant loss!

As Li Huowang swiftly drew a line with his hand, a gate to Tianchen appeared before him.

Just as he was about to go through, he looked at the dice's head in the distance. That situation was urgent, yet trouble persisted here too.

After a quick moment of consideration, Li Huowang directly pulled out his Spine Bone from behind and tossed it to the ground.

Before the Spine Bone hit the ground, flesh and skin rapidly grew from it, eventually forming a new Li Huowang.

"Kill the dice for me!" Li Huowang quickly ordered the newly formed self and hurried towards Tianchen Country.

Upon arriving in Tianchen Country, Li Huowang immediately noticed something was wrong; Tianchen's sky was broken! It was clear something had descended.

"Damn!" Li Huowang muttered, then charged toward the hole below. With his rapid Shrinking Ground into Inches, soon after, darkness engulfed the sky, causing the world to shake.

When Li Huowang stabilized his figure, he saw Zuo Qiuyong's massive flesh body fall to the ground amid tremors.

The body seemed riddled with wounds; the facial features were barely visible, covered in dense holes like a meatless lotus pod sans lotus seeds.

Such a powerful Fate Commander now looked as if stricken by a plague, his body uncontrollably trembling, his face a pale sheet.

Zuo Qiuyong struggled to rise again, but each attempt ended in failure.

Zuo Qiuyong, managing the growth Heavenly Dao, should be undeterred by minor injuries; yet, these holes not only persisted but spread.

Not just the flesh, but even trees, rocks, and soil appeared dotted with holes as if they were contagious.

These were not mere holes; something was pulsating within them!

Clearly, the enemy had planned for this; it was their contingency. Upon seeing him eliminate the traitor, Fusheng Heaven's Fate Commander promptly deployed their contingency.

Unfazed by other matters, Li Huowang first went to Zuo Qiuyong's ear opening, entered through a door, and disappeared inside.

After examining inside his mind, confirming no traitors, Li Huowang finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Good thing, the previous Fate Commander is truly dead, at least ensuring Zuo Qiuyong won't aid them."

Li Huowang emerged and stood on Zuo Qiuyong's face, observing the contents of the holes on his face.

If his guesses were right, these things had fallen from the sky.

Though he hadn't noticed earlier, this meatless lotus pod indeed had "lotus seeds."

These lotus seeds appeared to be some kind of oval creatures, their bloated, obese bodies covered in fleshy folds, shockingly disgusting.

Amid the folds were long tendrils resembling hair at first glance, yet closer inspection would reveal them as densely grown dark elongated tentacles or immature filaments.

As the creature continuously expanded and contracted, strange black liquid from its holes overflowed, gradually covering Zuo Qiuyong's massive flesh body.
