Evil of all ages

Chapter 5 Breakthrough to Grandmaster Realm
Although Huang Taichu was unclear about the conditions of the second and third levels of the prison, he believed they were larger and contained more prisoners than the first level.

No matter how large the space or how many prisoners there are, it cannot compare to the speed at which the Greedy World-Devouring Gu splits.

256 in 2 hours

4096 in 3 hours

That's 65536 in 4 hours.

There couldn't possibly be more than 60,000 people in a single prison.

In just over three hours, Huang Taichu could take control of the entire prison.

"Go back to lying down and getting stronger."

Huang Taichu returned to his private room and lay down.

An hour had passed since I lay down, and the Greedy World-Devouring Gu had already split into 32.

Not only were all the prisoners under their squad parasitized, but even the prisoners under the management of the neighboring team led by Shi Boyi were all parasitized.

The range of parasitism is expanding.
Huang Taichu did not choose to retaliate against Shi Boyi and the others immediately, but instead allowed the Greedy World-Devouring Gu to parasitize their bodies and keep them under surveillance.

They're just minor characters; we can deal with them anytime.

Compared to them, taking control of the entire prison is the most important thing.

As the Greedy World-Devouring Gu continues to split and plunder life energy, it feeds back to the world.

Huang Taichu's Nen power grew increasingly immense, but fortunately, he concealed his existence with Zetsu as soon as he awakened his Nen ability.

Otherwise, his ever-increasing aura would have terrified everyone in the prison.

Even many powerful figures in the capital city would be alarmed by his aura.

In the world of martial arts, how could Huang Taichu not practice martial arts?

Immediately, his Divine Martial Sacred Heart Technique began to operate on its own.

He doesn't need to cultivate specifically; the life energy he plunders is enough to help him break through to higher realms.

In a short while, he directly skipped the third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate stages and entered the Acquired Realm.

At this moment, all the prisoners on the first floor had just been parasitized by his Greedy World-Devouring Gu, and his Greedy World-Devouring Gu was entering the second floor of the Heavenly Prison.

Perhaps the Mind Beast is too special; even though the second level of the Heavenly Prison is more heavily guarded than the first, the Greedy World-Devouring Gu can still easily enter the second level.

The second floor was indeed larger than the first floor, and it held more prisoners.

The difference between the first and second layers is:
The first level is mostly made up of ordinary people; there are very few truly skilled martial artists.

However, martial artists who have reached the second level are everywhere.

Of course, the second level wasn't all martial artists; there were also some people waiting to be squeezed dry and thrown in.

Huang Taichu didn't care about these things; a martial artist's life energy was much greater than that of an ordinary person.

Why be polite? Immediately let the Greedy World-Devouring Gu plunder it.

The prisoners on the second level were all parasitized by the Greedy World-Devouring Gu.

Huang Taichu's martial arts realm has reached the peak of the Innate Realm.

It felt like he was about to enter the Grandmaster realm.

Huang Taichu's desire to break through was a matter of a single thought.

Huang Taichu didn't care about that, and instead let the Greedy World-Devouring Gu enter the third level.

When entering the third level
Huang Taichu finally realized what was different about the third floor.

The third floor was where the Zhenwu Division imprisoned prisoners.

In other words, the third level of the Heavenly Prison has been taken over by the Zhenwu Division.

Huang Taichu couldn't help but wonder if the Zhenwu Division had taken over the third level of the other four great prisons, except for the Central Court Prison guarded by that supreme master.

After a moment, Huang Taichu put the guess out of his mind.

Whether or not everything was booked is none of his business.

As long as it doesn't affect his breeding of Gu poison, he doesn't care about anything else.

I must say, the prisoners held here by the Zhenwu Division are of good quality; even the worst ones are second-rate martial artists.

High quality means high returns, so why should Huang Taichu be polite? Parasitize, and parasitize again...

"This is... a master of innate strength."

"That's true. With so many prisoners locked up on the third floor, how could there not be any innate experts guarding it?"

"Let's see what parasitic life is like."

Huang Taichu immediately had the Greedy World-Devouring Gu parasitize it.

Upon receiving Huang Taichu's command, a newly split Greedy World-Devouring Gu shot directly towards the Innate Realm expert who was sitting cross-legged cultivating. The moment the Greedy World-Devouring Gu touched the Innate Realm expert's skin and burrowed inside...

The innate expert opened his eyes.

He first cautiously observed his surroundings, but found nothing unusual. Realizing he was being too paranoid, he closed his eyes and continued cultivating.

"The innate senses of a martial artist are keen, but unfortunately the Greedy World-Devouring Gu is a thought beast, not a real Gu worm."

"However, if the innate senses of innate martial artists are already like this, the senses of those grandmaster-level experts will only be stronger. It will probably be very difficult to use the Greedy World-Devouring Gu to silently parasitize them."

Huang Taichu just smiled and didn't take it seriously. He had plenty of ways to control someone if he wanted to.

When all the prisoners on the third level were parasitized, Huang Taichu had already reached the highest level of mastery.

"Alright, the entire Heavenly Prison is now under my control, and there are so many more Greedy World-Devouring Gu that have split off..."

Huang Taichu thought about it for a moment.

"Then let's continue to split, go out and parasitize other people."

Huang Taichu did not stop the Greedy World-Devouring Gu from splitting. He was a bit greedy, and he allowed the entire capital city to be parasitized. Wasn't that better?

Of course, the people outside are different from the prisoners inside the prison.

It doesn't matter what happens to the prisoners; whether they become sickly or skin and bones from drug use.

But the people outside had neither provoked him nor were they bad people, so how could Huang Taichu possibly treat them as criminals?

Although Huang Taichu has done things like massacres after traversing so many lifetimes, it was only when others provoked him first, or when they were on opposing sides, that Huang Taichu would do such things.

Huang Taichu has his own bottom line when it comes to innocent people; he will not kill indiscriminately.

Those who live outside the world are simply looking at it through the eyes of others when they are bored.

Furthermore, ordinary people cannot freely manipulate their life energy like Nen users.

For ordinary people, a small amount of life energy is lost spontaneously every day.

Lost life energy can be replenished through food.

The life energy that is being lost is wasted anyway, so it's better to give it to the Greedy World-Devouring Gu.

While the loss of vital energy may be minimal without harming the health of ordinary people, it should not be forgotten.

With more people, more life energy is accumulated.

He treated outsiders this way, but he wasn't as vicious as the prisoners in the Heavenly Prison.

Apart from the jailers and guards who are just like everyone else outside, they only lose a tiny amount of life energy.

Huang Taichu didn't touch those who were wrongfully imprisoned or who had no criminal record; he only wanted the life energy they had voluntarily lost.

The Greedy World-Devouring Gu contains the word "greed," so it can naturally determine whether a person has been wronged.

"It still caused a commotion."

"That's true. Although I didn't kill them while I was fleecing them, the prisoners in the dungeon, apart from those who were wrongfully imprisoned, are all innocent."

"They're all sickly; how could that not cause a commotion?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Huang Taichu went out.

They discovered that everyone except the jailer, Ren Zhengnian, was present.

"Uncle Gao, Uncle Xu, Master Chong, what happened?"

Huang Taichu asked the question knowing the answer already.

"What's different about the prison now compared to usual?"

Gao Zhiming did not answer, but instead asked a question.

"Nothing's different!?"

Huang Taichu scanned the twenty cells under their management with his eyes, as if he hadn't found anything wrong.

"It's so quiet!"

"Too quiet?"

Huang Taichu cooperated perfectly.

"Alright, just tell me directly, instead of guiding Xiao Chu to guess."

"Xiao Chu, don't pay attention to him. Something strange is happening in the prison right now. Except for a few prisoners, all the other prisoners are sickly and weak."

"So much so that the prison was very quiet..."

Xu said nervously.
