Seven Deadly Sins System

In the Myriad Demons Forest, Patriarch Li lay on a pool filled with his own blood, but he didn't try to move away.

At this time, his entire attention was on the giant corpse of the Gem Beast in the distance, which fell from the sky and left a huge crater on the ground.

Beside this corpse, the cat-eared woman was standing and was fiddling with its body, as if she was searching for something.

It took a few minutes for the woman to find what she was looking for, and after she put the corpse of the Gem Beast away, she turned her head towards Patriarch Li.

When Patriarch Li noticed her gaze, he couldn't help but become nervous.

After all, this woman had actually killed the Gem Beast right in front of his eyes.

The Gem Beast was already enough to make him feel hopeless, and even his strongest attack couldn't harm, yet, this woman had killed it with relative ease.

So, just how strong was she?

Patriarch Li couldn't help but swallow nervously and he took the initiative to speak:

"Senior. Thank you for saving me."

"Don't worry. I'm a member of the Blood God Temple. As long as I go back, the temple will reward you handsomely.", he said, having chosen to use the name of the Blood God Temple to prevent this woman from becoming murderous.

If he was facing a monster, these words wouldn't work, but for humans, it was fairly helpful.

After all, monsters could always retreat to the Myriad Demons Forest and didn't have to worry about the revenge of the Blood God Temple.

On the other hand, not only could humans not run away, but they also had families, friends, and disciples.

Even if they were able to escape the Blood God Temple's chase, the people related to them would become targets for the Blood God Temple's revenge.

As such, not many people would offend the major forces.

Thinking of this and seeing that the woman had not killed him yet, Patriarch Li became increasingly confident.

He was about to open his mouth and speak when suddenly, the figure of the cat-eared woman disappeared.

The next moment, the woman appeared behind him, and under his shocked eyes, she stretched her hand and hit him on the back of the head.

"Bang!"

Patriarch Li felt his eyes spin and he soon lost consciousness, causing his body to become limp.

Standing above the comatose Patriarch Li, the woman waved her hand, smoothing the surrounding land and destroying the evidence of what happened in the process, before she picked him up and rushed away.

Soon, this area became empty, and only the complete silence, the result of the death of all the creatures within hundreds of meters, remained as evidence of the previous battle.

****

After the woman went deeper into the Myriad Demons Forest, she chose a random place and opened up a cave.

Placing the unconscious Patriarch Li on one of the cave's corners, she sat on the opposite side of this makeshift "room".

The moment she sat down, the woman's appearance rapidly changed.

The fluffy ears on her head quickly merged back into her body and her black tail disappeared, while at the same time, the color of her hair and pupils changed and turned pinkish-white and scarlet respectively.

In the blink of an eye, the woman had lost her previous monster-like features and had turned into an ordinary-looking human.

"I didn't expect that I would be so lucky to meet a Level 3 Monster.", the woman whispered and if anyone familiar with the true disciples of the Original Desire Sect was here, they would instantly recognize her.

Not surprisingly, this woman was Chu Wuyao, or to be more accurate, it was Chu Wuyao's Devil Clone.

After the death of Wu Feng and the dispersion of the Mother's phantom, the Devil Clone didn't return to the Original Desire Sect like the God Clone but instead chose to visit the Myriad Demons Forest.

This was because although Chu Wuyao's real body did not need resources and could increase her strength by understanding more Authorities and supplementing her Vision, she still needed to obtain Sin Points to enter the Enlightenment Space.

Moreover, the God and Devil Clones didn't have the great conditions of the real body and couldn't improve their strength as easily.

The Devil Clone was fine since it could always wait for the real body to break through and match its progress, but the God Clone couldn't.

As a God, the God Clone needed to consume faith to increase the size of its Kingdom of God, and to speed up this process, it needed a huge amount of believers.

Unfortunately, spreading her faith in the territory of the Original Desire Sect or the territory of other major forces was basically impossible, especially now with the invasion of the Divine World.

Chu Wuyao could guess that as long as a new religion appeared, the powerful cultivators of the major forces would immediately come to hunt her down, thinking that she was an otherworld invader.

Knowing this, Chu Wuyao could only send the Devil Clone to the territory of the monster race and look for an opportunity to spread her faith.

In fact, she originally wanted to send her God Clone, whose strength was way higher, but in the end, she chose to send her Devil Clone.

This was because although the strength of the Devil Clone was worse, it was actually more suitable for this task.

With the upgraded Camouflage ability, the Devil Clone could change its aura and appearance, disguising itself as a member of the monster race.

"Moreover, the new ability of the Devil Clone is surprisingly suitable for such an environment.", Chu Wuyao thought.

King's Armor was the ability that the Devil Clone had awakened with its advancement to a Medium Devil and allowed her to absorb the souls, blood, and blood essence of other creatures in order to increase the power of its armor, and thus, its physical strength.

It was through the use of this ability that the Devil Clone was able to defend against the Gem Beast's attacks without any injury, as it had swallowed the soul of Wu Feng and some cultivators she had met on the way.

"Killing human cultivators is bound to attract the attention of powerful cultivators, but in the Myriad Demons Forest, monsters dying is very common and should not alarm anyone.", Chu Wuyao whispered.

Remembering the Gem Beast's corpse inside her space ring, she felt as if this forest seemed to have been made for her.

However, Chu Wuyao didn't rush to absorb the Gem Beast's blood, having to deal with something first.

With this in mind, she waved her hand and a deep red drop of blood appeared in her right palm, which was the blood essence of the Gem Beast.

If it was before, Chu Wuyao would have used the King's Armor to swallow it, but now, she had a better option.

"Let's test the effect of the Bloodline Tome...", she whispered and under her control, the skin of her right palm parted and a mouth appeared.

This mouth didn't have any upper or lower teeth, and only had a long black tongue, which moved around eerily.

Seeing this strange-looking mouth, Chu Wuyao didn't show any reaction.

Instead, she controlled the tongue to roll up the blood essence of the Gem Beast and swallow it.

The moment the drop of blood entered the mouth, Chu Wuyao felt the blood all over her body boil.

Unconsciously, her body tensed up and colorful gems emerged out of her skin, covering her own body as if it were armor.

At the same time, her pupils became more snake-like, while her four limbs became thicker and turned into claws.

Just like what would happen when she activated her True Form, her body began getting bigger and bigger, until finally, a 20-meter-long and 10-meter-high beast appeared inside this newly opened cave.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Wuyao had turned into a Gem Beast, looking similar to the Gem Beast she had just killed.

This transformation was not merely a change in appearance, but a deeper, more real change.

In particular, Chu Wuyao could feel that she had inherited the strong defense of the Gem Beast, and there were some abilities hidden in her blood, that she could try to activate.

Turning her head and examining her own body, although Chu Wuyao was a little uncomfortable with this change in perspective, she forced herself to accept it.

At the same time, she checked her own body, making sure that there was nothing wrong with her.

"According to contents of the Bloodline Tome, using this technique to swallow the blood essence of bloodline creatures can allow the practitioner to transform into those bloodline creatures."

In fact, this was not the first time that Chu Wuyao had used such an ability.

Although the effect of the Blood Essence Analysis skill, the skill she obtained by practicing the Blood Demon Body, was not as strong and had certain limitations, its effects were very similar to the Bloodline Tome.

When she first went through the contents of the Bloodline Tome, Chu Wuyao was a little surprised, but she quickly understood the reason why this happened.

"The Blood Demon Body should be a technique created by a powerful cultivator based on this Bloodline Tome."

This seemed strange but was actually fairly common.

After all, although the Cultivation World was vast and there were many powerful cultivators, the truly powerful techniques were very rare.

As such, once cultivators reached a certain realm, they would all come into contact with these techniques.

Later down the line, when they created their own techniques, they were bound to base them on these powerful techniques, making them possess certain characteristics of these techniques.

As far as Chu Wuyao knew, most of the techniques that casual cultivators practiced were based on the techniques of the major forces, and it was normal for the techniques of the major forces to be based upon stronger, rarer techniques.

Shaking her head, Chu Wuyao suppressed those thoughts and turned her attention back to reality and her own body.

She could feel that although her power and speed had not increased at all, her defense had been enhanced significantly, far surpassing that of her own body.

"In this form, even Aspect Stage cultivators like Patriarch Li will have trouble breaking my defense. Only Creation Stage cultivators, or cultivators who own powerful Dao Weapons can injure me.", Chu Wuyao analyzed, understanding that if she didn't have the Dragon Slaying Sword, she wouldn't have been able to kill the Gem Beast.

But soon, she couldn't help but think of something.

What would happen if she were to activate her True Form in this state?
