The main culprit of the Ninth Hell was a giant eyeball monster. Its overall form resembled an oversized happy soccer ball, with skin showing varying degrees of indentation—just like the surface of the moon—ugly enough to make one unable to look directly at it.
Never mind why it was bound by so many chains; based on appearance alone, Jun Changxiao felt it deserved to be imprisoned. Otherwise, if it escaped and scared crying children or frightened flowers and plants, that too would be a crime.
However.
Speechlessly.
This guy actually had the gall to call itself a perfect living being!
He’d seen shameless beings before, but never one this shameless.
The system promptly complained: “Compared to the host, it’s still lacking a bit. I can guarantee this with my personality.”
“Scram.”
Jun Changxiao glanced at the giant eyeball again and, suppressing the urge to vomit, said: “Evolving into such an ugly appearance—aren’t you afraid of scaring yourself when you sleep at night?”
The side quest was to defeat it, so Dog Leftover would definitely mock it mercilessly.
“Clack clack clack!”
“Clack clack clack clack!”
The giant eyeball monster began struggling.
Unfortunately, bound by chains, it couldn’t lunge forward and could only roar with eyes full of fury: “Boy, I’m going to eat you!”
Jun Changxiao, who had been somewhat worried, saw that the opponent couldn’t break free from the chains. He took another step forward, maintaining the closest distance, and smiled in an extremely punchable manner: “Come on, come on!”
“Whoosh!”
Just then, the patterns on the chains vanished into thin air, and with a series of “bang bang bang” sounds, they all shattered.
The smile on Jun Changxiao’s face froze.
“Hu hu!”
Without the chains’ sealing suppression, the giant eyeball monster immediately erupted into its strongest state. Mighty evil energy pressed forward like ocean waves.
“This is trouble…”
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound came from the Ninth Hell. Ripples of energy frantically undulated, shaking dozens of array barrier walls hidden in the darkness into gradual materialization!
…
“Boss.”
In the patrol room, Chou Envoy said with a grave expression: “Releasing the Void Eye’s seal without the master’s permission is probably inappropriate.”
Mao Envoy worried: “What if the commotion gets too severe and shakes the prison’s defensive system? That would be troublesome.”
“It won’t.”
Zi Envoy interlaced his ten fingers and said seriously: “The Void Eye has been sealed for so long. Even if temporarily freed, its strength will be greatly diminished. It definitely can’t bring harm to the defensive system…”
“Boom!”
Before he could finish speaking, another powerful disturbance came from the projected light screen.
The ceiling of the Ninth Hell suffered a fierce impact from the giant eyeball monster, immediately transmitting waves of energy ripples.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Dozens of arrays began to distort!
Zi Envoy sneered coldly: “Just broke the seal and already wants to break out? What does it think the Stellar Fortress is?”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The giant eyeball continued ramming the defensive barrier. Though its explosive power was strong, it only made it tremble without signs of being shaken.
The prisoners in the Eighth Hell, feeling tremors similar to an earthquake, couldn’t help but speculate—could that guy have already started fighting with the main culprit of the Ninth Hell?
Yi Feixue thought darkly: “This isn’t the disturbance from combat. It’s more like deliberate ramming. Could it be… that guy is trying to violently break out?”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In the Ninth Hell, the giant eyeball monster continued ramming the Stellar Fortress’s defensive system. Though the commotion was great, it was actually useless.
“Ugly freak.”
Suddenly, from the dark area below, a voice came: “Are you pretending I don’t exist?”
“Hm?”
The Void Eye, which was preparing to impact the defensive barrier, rotated its eyeball and discovered that the human it had sent flying was walking out step by step, carrying a long spear.
“You’re still alive?”
“Pfft.”
Jun Changxiao couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Undeniably, when the giant eyeball had suddenly attacked just now, though its power was very strong—even surpassing Yin Tiger—how could he, wearing the Great Sage set, possibly be instantly killed?
Jun Changxiao looked up: “We two are of the same kind—both refusing to accept our fate, urgently wanting to break free from our cages to pursue freedom.”
“Come.”
He pointed the spear tip forward and said heroically: “Become my contract beast. Together we’ll pierce through these heavens!”
“Hu hu hu!”
As soon as the words fell, dark energy suddenly materialized in midair, quickly condensing into a substantial giant hand that tightly grasped Jun Changxiao, who had just entered persuasion mode, in its palm.
The Void Eye sneered: “Boy, haven’t you realized that crushing you is as easy for me as crushing an ant?”
“Hu hu!”
“Hu hu hu!”
Evil dark power erupted again, seeming like a swarm of demons dancing wildly nearby.
“You look down on me this much?”
Jun Changxiao grinned.
Clearly being controlled and about to die at any moment, yet he could still smile. This infuriated the giant eyeball, which said: “Detestable fellow, I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The dark power surrounding the area instantly pressed toward Jun Changxiao.
However, just as it was about to approach, Dog Leftover suddenly opened his mouth wide and actively absorbed the swarming evil attributes into his body.
The Void Eye was dumbfounded.
Zi Envoy, Chou Envoy, and the others were also stunned.
“He…” Mao Envoy covered his mouth in shock: “Actually ate it!”
Jun Changxiao wasn’t just eating—he was eating with great relish, his eyes squinting into lines.
“Dad!”
Inside his dantian, Little Evil exclaimed excitedly: “I love you!”
“Hu hu hu!”
The absorbed sinister evil power was all transmitted over, like a super supplement being swallowed by the little guy, then gradually strengthening itself!
The Void Eye was an evil entity.
Little Evil, born in the mortal universe, was likewise an evil entity.
Therefore, when Jun Changxiao arrived at the Ninth Hell and saw the giant eyeball covered in dark energy, his heart immediately rejoiced: “Little Evil has food!”
Just like earlier when the seal was released and the terrifying energy wave pressed down—before the opponent could infiltrate his body, he actively absorbed it himself, then had the evil spirit transform it all into energy.
“You…”
The Void Eye stirred with surprise.
Its sinister evil attribute was an unsolvable poison to any living being. This guy actively absorbed it—absorbed so much—yet nothing happened at all. This was truly inconceivable!
“Hu hu!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao had already swallowed all the dark power that pressed over. Still unsatisfied, he lowered his head and pointed his mouth at the large hand tightly gripping him.
Eat it.
Eat it all!
“Dad!”
The evil spirit called out loudly: “Can I come out myself!”
“Sure!”
Jun Changxiao raised his head and opened his mouth.
“Whoosh!”
Little Evil flew out from his dantian. In the form of a two or three-year-old child, it stuck to the dark large hand. Its eyes flashed with wild joy, then it began eating voraciously without restraint.
“This is…”
The giant eyeball exclaimed in shock: “An Evil Spirit!”
The voice transmitted through the array to the patrol room. Zi Envoy and the others all shot to their feet with a “whoosh,” shock rising in their eyes.
In the mortal universe, certain special consciousnesses would form, then gradually gather into spirit seeds, finally evolving toward spirit bodies and spirit infants until evolving into complete beings.
Simply put.
It was an upgraded version of heaven and earth attributes.
But because they were conceived and born in the endless universe, their might far exceeded their kind and were even hailed as attribute kings.
Spirit seeds were extremely rare—objects that top-tier experts dreamed of obtaining.
Now, a spirit body representing the ultimate in evil… no, an infant spirit appeared in the Ninth Hell, immediately making the patrol envoys unable to remain calm!
“It’s over!”
Despair rose in the Void Eye’s gaze.
It wasn’t a spirit body—just an evil-type fierce beast. Before an infant spirit conceived by gathering universal essence, it truly became delicious food, because no matter how powerful its negative attacks, they absolutely couldn’t shake the King of Evil!
“Calm down, calm down!”
The Void Eye hadn’t lost its composure yet and thought darkly: “This infant spirit doesn’t seem very strong. I should still have a chance…”
It stopped thinking. Its eyeball once again bulged to the extreme.
Because another red light flew out from Jun Changxiao’s mouth, then floated before it. From a lotus shape, it gradually unfolded into a three-year-old child who patted its little belly and said: “Who gave you the courage to bully my father?”
