The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

The giant rat was excitedly waving its bone staff, frantically attacking the wounds of the Thousand Corpse Tai Sui.

The dark green plague venom was splashed on them as if it were free.

On the already disgusting mountain of flesh, pustules suddenly appeared one after another.

The yellowish-green liquid mixed with the original corpse fluid bubbled and emitted a stench so foul it would make even biological weapons pale in comparison.

"Sizzle!"

Tuqi turned around and grinned at Gu Xu, his beady green eyes filled with a plea for praise, as if to say, "Master, look how well I did it!"

Gu Xu: "..."

Pretty.

It's so damn beautiful.

At this moment, Gu Xu's last remaining desire to "become stronger" was completely extinguished by this pot of "biochemical soup" with added ingredients.

"Forget it, whoever gets this good fortune will want it."

Gu Xu, his face dark, took several steps back, as if afraid of getting even a speck of sauce on him: "Although I, Gu Xu, am not exactly a gentleman, I still have some principles when it comes to food hygiene."

"If I eat this stuff, I'm afraid even my wife won't want to kiss me anymore."

Give up on devouring.

Nothing is more important than mental health.

"Men, hurry up and send it on its way; it's disgusting to look at."

"boom--!"

At his command, the Eye of the Past, which had been poised to strike, suddenly turned.

The purplish-black rays pierced through the Thousand Corpse Grand Duke without any fancy embellishment.

The enormous mountain of flesh melted and evaporated instantly upon contact with the rays, eventually turning into a lifeless pile of black ash.

The world is finally quiet.

[Ding! LV55 Lord-level BOSS Thousand Corpse Tai Sui - Human Jinchuriki defeated!]

[Ding! You have reached the job advancement bottleneck; your level remains unchanged!]

[Ding! Legendary item dropped: Thousand Soul Corpse Robe (Legendary)!]

[Ding! Legendary item dropped: Tai Sui Meat Fungus (Legendary)!]

[Ding! Legendary material dropped: Resentful Spine (Legendary Material)!]

A series of pleasant notification sounds rang in my ears, followed by a sound from the previously filthy ground.

Three dazzling golden beams of light illuminated the scene.

"That's more like it!"

Gu Xu's originally gloomy face instantly brightened, his expression changing as fast as turning the pages of a book.

He rubbed his hands together, even though the strange smell still lingered around him.

But in his eyes, this place is now a treasure trove of good fortune.

It's still the boss fights that bring the most joy, the loot drops.

What's disgusting about it? In the face of golden light, all of that is insignificant.

He controls the realm of calamity.

He skillfully made the spoils float over by themselves.

First, there's an inner armor that looks like it's made of some kind of biological membrane. Although it's called "corpse shroud," it feels surprisingly warm to the touch and has a faint gray sheen.

【The Thousand Souls Corpse Robe】

[Quality: Legendary]

[Part: Top]

[Equipment Level: LV50]

[Attributes: Constitution +3000, Spirit +1500, Strength +2000, Agility +1000]

【Special Effect 1: Corpse King's Body (Passive) - Forcefully reduces physical damage taken by 30%, and grants immunity to all poison and corrosive negative status effects.】

【Special Effect 2: Scapegoat (Passive) - Every 24 hours, automatically blocks one fatal attack and transfers the damage to any enemy unit within 50 meters.】

"A life-saving item!"

Gu Xu's eyes lit up, and he put it away without saying a word.

These days, this kind of damage transfer effect is practically an inhumanly powerful skill.

Even if I don't need it, having it and not having it are two different things!

Next came a piece of meat that looked like a lingzhi mushroom, emitting a strange fragrance.

【Tai Sui Meat Fungus】

[Quality: Legendary]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Permanently increases maximum health by 5000 points and grants the "Limb Regeneration" trait (as long as the heart and brain are not damaged, severed limbs can regenerate within 10 minutes).]

"This is not bad either. Although it can't compare to immortality, it's still quite resilient."

Gu Xu casually put it into his backpack.

As for the spine used as material, if we can find a blacksmith later, maybe we can get Tucci a new crutch.

That way it won't keep carrying around those rotten bones.

After collecting his spoils, Gu Xu clapped his hands, in high spirits.

"Let's go, let's go see where that demon mother is hiding."

However, after Gu Xu and his three henchmen wandered around the Tujia village for ten minutes...

His good mood vanished again.

This village is built like a maze.

Everywhere you look, there are identical black stone houses, winding corridors, and dead ends that lead nowhere. The most absurd thing is that there aren't even any road signs; you have to guess everything.

"No, does this ghost mother have paranoia?"

Gu Xu stood at a fork in the road, kicking the stone lion beside him in exasperation: "Do I have to navigate a maze to get back to my own home? Aren't I afraid of bursting when I need to pee and not being able to find a toilet?"

He now understands why the main characters in those horror movies can never escape.

This isn't a case of being lost in a maze; it's simply because the road is poorly constructed.

Fortunately, thanks to the heaven-defying attributes of the Calamity Domain.

Gu Xu finally figured out a path leading to the back mountain.

It was a winding stone path leading upwards, with spider lilies planted on both sides, which could only survive in places with extremely heavy yin energy.

The sea of ​​red flowers looked both alluring and eerie against the gray sky.

I just stared at those endless steps.

Gu Xu's laziness has returned.

"That high? Climbing up there would be exhausting!"

Gu Xu curled his lips. He was now the Lord of Calamity, a big shot with legendary equipment. If he still had to climb mountains on his own two legs, how embarrassing would that be?

"Wife!"

Gu Xu turned his head and called out to the red-clad figure beside him quite naturally, his tone self-righteous: "Show me your car, let's go for a ride."

The ghost bride paused slightly, seemingly still trying to understand the modern term "drive around".

But she quickly understood what her husband meant.

Beneath the red veil, her beautiful eyes curved into a lovely crescent moon.

"Yes, my husband."

As her soft voice faded, the surrounding space suddenly darkened.

It was as if countless invisible hands had covered the sky.

"Waaaaah—"

A sharp and ethereal suona sound suddenly rang out, this time no longer the kind of noise that would disturb one's peace of mind.

It is a solemn and dignified wedding song with an ancient rhythm.

Immediately afterwards, a strong, eerie wind arose.

One hundred and eight illusory figures slowly rose from the ground.

They were dressed in red wedding attire, their faces pale, their feet barely touching the ground. Some held up signs to indicate they wanted to avoid the procession.

Some were playing the suona, while others were carrying large red lanterns.

In the very center of the procession stood the "Styx Ghost Carriage," which had just been incorporated and evolved.

It is quietly suspended in mid-air.

The sedan chair has changed a lot since then.

Not to mention that his whole body was bright red.

A golden phoenix, about to take flight, perched atop the sedan chair, while the tassels hanging around it were actually miniature skulls.

It made a crisp, clanging sound in the cold wind.

A faint black mist swirled around the sedan chair, which seemed to be a tangible force of rules.
