Chapter 538: Angry Karen
Isolation Training Space
"Ha!"
Xu Chu destroyed another system clone. This was the 100th immortal clone that she had killed.
Ding
[Congratulations. You have killed Liu Che's Clone 100 times!]
[You have learned one of Liu Che's Dao, Dao of Emperor Authority!]
"Meh, can I change it to his Sword Arts? I don't need that stupid Dao."
[You may fuse the Dao with one or more Daos to create a new one.]
"Oh, cool. That's convenient!"
Xu Chu was addicted to Miaomiao's system after she got to know the detail. Now, she stopped bothering Miaomiao for sex and spent her time killing clones of immortals.
She was collecting system skills and Daos.
Meanwhile, Diaochan wasn't idle either. She kept fighting a certain 9th-stage cultivator to copy his abilities.
Ding
[Congratulations. You have killed Huang Hansheng's Clone 100 times!]
[You have learned one of Huang Hansheng's Martial Arts, Yellow Emperor Archery!]
"WOOO!! Jackpot! I need that martial art!"
The purple seductress jumped in joy and ran around the Unholy Karma Continent with a thousand snakes following behind her as if she were their master. She now could control, order, and make the karma snakes fight alongside her as if they were her pets!
From the top of the Life Essence Pylon Tower, Miaomiao sat there, gazing at the cheerful women and shaking his head.
"This world is getting too noisy."
Miaomiao turned away from the happy Dao Sentinels and looked at Xie Tian. The guy was watching Xu Chu and Diaochan in envy.
"I want someone to spar with me, too..." Xie Tian mumbled.
"Once we can make you the next Totem Nascent Soul of Chrono Element Dao, you can use my system to play like them."
"Now, I'm motivated. Master, I'll replenish my Qi ASAP, and we'll expand that crystal again!"
"Tell me when you're done. I'm already recovered."
"Y-You're fast, master. I only recovered 2% of my strength."
"That's because you're a god, but I'm still a freaking mortal. Your energy pool is a lot bigger than mine! Hell, I'm having a headache right now since I have to feed you my excess Soul Qi in my Soul Dantian. I could have used that Qi to form a Soul Formation and breakthrough to the 9th-stage, but I'm feeding them to you!"
"Ahahaha. I'm so sorry, master. Once I can stop being a parasite, I'll return this favor a thousand times."
"Hmph!"
While complaining, Miaomiao directed the energy that he had stolen from Lilim to Xie Tian. The protagonist absorbed everything like a sponge, recovering his strength at a rapid rate.
Unfortunately, it was far from enough. Xie Tian reported that he managed to recover his strength to 5%, and he needed at least 20% to resume his task.
Miaomiao grumbled. Having strong familiars was good and all, but the upkeep was extremely expensive. He might as well swindle Karen or some gods to rob their energy to feed his needy parasites.
Still, the existence of Dao Sentinel and their access to his system gave him hope. He wondered if he could keep upgrading them and bring everyone to the other timeline.
But before that could happen, Miaomiao needed to make a pact with his wives first.
...
Present
Miaomiao explained the perks of being his Dao Sentinels, using Xu Chu and Diaochan as examples. However, he didn't tell them about the other timelines and his ulterior motive yet.
Dian Wei bit the bait, "That's... quite interesting. Can I eat the clones that you mentioned?"
"No. But there is plenty of food. Meowmeow can vouch for that."
Meowmeow came out without Miaomiao's permission as he had been eavesdropping on the conversation. He rested on top of his slave's head, "Food is plenty, Munya! Don't come over. All food belongs to Meowmeow, Munya!"
"What?! You stupid cat wants to monopolize all food to yourself? Okay, that's it! Miaomiao, make a pact with me and make me whatever familiar or Dao Sentinel. I want in! Give me a lot of food!"
Miaomiao bitterly smiled and scratched Meowmeow's chin. He got another fat parasite to feed, but he didn't mind it.
As Miaomiao came prepared, they completed the pact, and Dian Wei instantly jumped into his dantian space. Meowmeow also followed after the spider woman to compete with her.
"Now, what about you two?"
Ma Xingjuan and Kang Yan hesitated. They looked at each other.
Unfortunately, their Heavenly Fate Power still influenced their mind.
Kang Yan shook her head, "Not yet. I have other things to do. Being someone's Dao Sentinel might damage my Dao."
Miaomiao nodded as he respected Kang Yan's decision. After all, she most of inherited Ling Tianlong's fortune.
"What Dao are you pursuing?"
"Dao of Sword Element."
"Is there such an element?!" Miaomiao was astonished.
"There is. Once you cultivate your sword intent to the limit, you can merge the Perception of Death and Sword Intent to create Sword Qi. Sword Qi will slowly grow stronger once our mind is as sharp as a sword, and it will eventually evolve into an element. However, the sword element cultivator must dedicate their life to the Dao of Sword, or the element won't form. I don't think being your Dao Sentinel will work for me."
"..."
"I'm sorry, Miaomiao. But don't worry. I'm fine with my current status. Let me continue being your yin slave."
Miaomiao sighed and patted Kang Yan's head.
She was now a sword freak protagonist. He could only give up on her, "Alright. Tell me if you run into problems or you change your mind."
"Sure."
After Miaomiao was satisfied with Kang Yan's life goal and decision, he turned to Ma Xingjuan next.
Ma Xingjuan had set her life goal as well, but she declined his invitation, "I can't join you now. You see, I've been having a strange dream."
"What dream?"
Ma Xingjuan blushed and she glanced at her belly, "I always dreamed... I had a baby."
"..."
"Miaomiao, I want to have a baby, but I don't want a demon or an orc child. I want a normal one."
Miaomiao sighed. It seemed that Lu Fengxian had done something to Ma Xingjuan, and she might be destined to become a protagonist's mother.
"Okay. How about I dedicate some of my time to make one?"
"R-Really?"
"Everybody has been captured, and you girls are the only ones left. I need to bring you back to Aves Continent to avoid the mess and start over."
"Great!"
Ma Xingjuan was so glad that she hugged Miaomiao, which aroused Kang Yan's jealousy.
"Hey. I want a baby, too."
"Sure, sure. I'll give both of you my babies, okay? Don't fight."
Miaomiao hugged both of them. Yet, he couldn't stop sighing.
What a waste!
They could have just followed his instruction obediently and entered his dantian world so that he could move around freely. Now, he had two baggage to worry about.
BOOM
As Miaomiao was having a private conversation with Ma Xingjuan and Kang Yan, someone destroyed his soundproof array and barged into the locker room.
It was Karen.
"There you are. I've been looking for you!"
Karen sneered and cracked her knuckles. Behind her, a few Miaomiao haters sneered at him.
"What do you want?" Miaomiao let go of the girls and stood in front of them. He no longer feared any deity or immortal.
"You went away for too long. The Holy Land Tournament has resumed, and you're queued to fight tomorrow. I was worried that you would have run away during the chaos."
"Why should I run? Anyway, we no longer have any business here. We want to withdraw every participant from this tournament. I also have something to do."
"That's impossible. As soon as your girls enter the top 32 round, they can no longer forfeit before the match starts. They have to continue fighting even if their dantian is crippled!"
Miaomiao narrowed his eyes and walked closer to Karen, "Who makes that rule?"
"Of course, ME!"
"Don't you understand what will happen to you if you mess with me and my backers?"
Karen paused. She looked at the immortals behind her.
Then, the Swan Goddess and the immortals burst into laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
"Oh, shit! I know that's it's gonna be funny, but this takes the cake!"
The immortals couldn't help but mock Miaomiao. They seemed to know something.
Karen raised her chin to look down on Miaomiao, "As expected of an infamous retarded DaoTuber, you know nothing!"
"I know nothing?"
"Don't you realize that your channel is permanently deleted? Joshua and Devil have abandoned you! Even Lilith and Lilim took their people away! No one is here to protect you anymore!"
Miaomiao raised one of his eyes and smirked, "So?"
"So?! SO?! Oh, wow. I know that you're stupid, but you're actually retarded! You know what? I have to make this clear to you, so you can understand your position."
Karen walked closer to Miaomiao and stared into his eyes, "You are at our mercy. We can kill you any time we want now, boy! Now, on your knees and beg me for mercy. If you do so, I'll allow you to enter the tournament with all your limbs! Of course, you have to give us all time-and-space mural pieces that you've been collecting!"
"Hohoh?"
Miaomiao smiled and deeply inhaled.
As he had expected, his protagonist's luck might have attracted troubles.
Still, he was disappointed with the Zenith Heaven Dao. It said that it would prevent other villains from interfering with his feud, but Karen was still here, trying to ruin his happy life.
Since Zenith Heaven Dao couldn't protect Miaomiao, he could only rely on himself.
Miaomiao began talking to Xie Tian and Xu Chu, using the consciousness inside the dantian world to relay the messages.
'Xie Tian, I need your help. I know that your power hasn't fully recovered yet, but can you help me kill a few idiots? You, too, Xu Chu! Don't just play around with the clones. Come out and earn your keep!'
Xie Tian's voice sounded in his mind, 'I can't come out right now, but I can activate the Chrono Element Domain for you. The range will be small, though.'
Xu Chu also replied, 'I'll come out when your power of time is active. I still need to hide my presence from the horny gods.'
Miaomiao was surprised, 'Can you move when I stop time?'
'I was watching everything through your perception when I dual-cultivated with your consciousness. The dryads and others can't move, but I, Diaochan, and that new guy can move just fine.'
'Good. Well, Xie Tian, tell me when you're ready.'
'Just send me the signal. I'm ready at any moment. Oh, by the way, with my current power, I can only freeze time for one second.'
'Good enough. Well, first off, I need insurance. Save Respawn Location!'
Before Miaomiao started doing something extreme, he used Liu Yan's system skill to save his respawn location in the real world.
He didn't know if it would work, but he had to try.
After saving his respawn location, Miaomiao smiled at Karen and the immortals behind her, "Now, you're bullying me?"
Karen scoffed, "I always hate you, Miaomiao. Because of Devil and other gods, my life has always been miserable. Now that they're gone, I can make you a beautiful sex toy and sell you to perverted immortals!"
"I see," Miaomiao had decided. Karen was now on his kill list.
He sent the signal to Xie Tian right away.
'TOKI WO TOMARE!!'
CLICK
As soon as Miaomiao bellowed, a small domain of Chrono Element expanded and covered the range of 100 diameters around Miaomiao. Everything inside was frozen in time.
Xie Tian activated the domain power for him, using his own power.
Meanwhile, a Totem Nascent Soul of Miaomiao appeared. Xu Chu came out with her real appearance while the time was frozen.
Without waiting for Miaomiao's instructions, Xu Chu, whose current body was ethereal-like, possessed one of Miaomiao's arms.
That arm carried the power of the succubus ancestor. She controlled it and punched Karen to the stomach, and Miaomiao's hand punctured through the back.
Seeing the golden opportunity, created by Xu Chu, Miaomiao activated his favorite Dao and skill.
Plot Armor Plundering, Vampiric Touch!
A surge of energy flowed into Xu Chu and Miaomiao's merged arm. Providence Qi and Luck of Karen were sucked into Miaomiao and Xu Chu's dantian.
Miaomiao only kept a portion of Soul Qi to refill his dantian while the rest of the Luck and Providence Qi were shared between Xie Tian and Xu Chu.
That was not all. He managed to locate the hidden karma strings, which contained Karen's bad karma that she had done throughout her life.
He immediately channeled the newly acquired baby karma centipedes into her.
The karma centipedes reacted to the abundant Providence Qi, Soul Essence, and Soul Qi of Karen. They used Miaomiao's arm as a medium to enter her body.
A swarm of Karma Centipedes flooded into Karen's stomach and entered her soul dantian, devouring everything that they found!
Unfortunately, one second was too short. Before Miaomiao could pull his hand out, the time resumed.
As soon as the time resumed, Karen discovered the state that she was in.
There was a hole in her stomach, and Miaomiao had punched through it!
Moreover, 30% of her Providence Qi was gone, and it continued to decrease!
"BASTARD!!"
