Chapter 5566
The moment the divine power was activated, Rachelle's mind was cleared as she felt
awakened.
At that moment, her instincts kicked in, telling her to look at the infant. So she did, her
gaze slowly moving in that direction while she felt herself shaking. She took a deep breath
of cold air as a look of sheer shock overtook her beautiful face.
There was no small boy in front of them; it was a queer-looking fellow quietly laying on the
floor. With greenish-tinted skin, a sharp face, and long eyes that revealed a vicious ray, his
thin lips curled up into a scary, frightening grin.
The dark cyan long robe was made out of an unknown material. It was wrinkled and shiny,
as though the creature was wearing a coat made out of lizard skin. This was a character
straight out of a horror book.
The thing that shocked Rachelle the most...was that the cries did not come from the
creature's mouth.
It was from the belly instead!
"Waa...waa... Waa...waa..."
The belly of the creature rose and fell regularly as the pitiful cries of a baby rang out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a clear contrast between the crying and the creature's appearance, which
proved to be a frightening sight.
Rachelle's heart raced rapidly in nervousness and bewilderment. How could there be such
a queer-looking being in this world? Was this a human or a monster?
She did not know the history of The Nine Mainland dated so far back that there were many
fellows and things like Scitalis existing in this world. The being in front of her was not a
monster but a transmogrified spiritual serpent instead.
Every creature in this world had a soul, and the name of this spiritual serpent was Scitalis.
2000 years earlier, Scitalis had cultivated enough power to transform into a human. Due
to his extraordinary ability, Scitalis was subdued by Emperor Hou Yi to serve at his side,
which was his proudest moment.
Scitalis was even conferred the title of Commander-in-chief of the Royal City, ranking
together with Grandmaster Erlang and the rest of the strong people. Scitalis' future was
beyond infinity.
Unfortunately, Scitalis' prowess was just as powerful as his lust. Because of this, he failed
his mission many times, and there came a moment when he was so bold as to voyeur
Lady Chang Er. Emperor Hou Yi burned with rage upon finding out and had Scitalis
punished and ousted from the Royal City.
After that, Scitalis continued to cause trouble in the world of cultivators, oppressed the
weak, acted tyrannically, and did all sorts of evil things. Any woman that Scitalis had his
eyes on could not escape the misfortune.
At that time, the enchanted barriers between each Mainland were still there, but they
could not stop Scitalis. After he committed too many evil things in the North Moana
Continent, Emperor Hou Yi ordered his subordinates to kill Scitalis.
Thus, the being escaped to the other Mainland and continued to do as he pleased.
Good and evil would always be responded to in kind.
After a year and more of doing evil things around The Nine Mainland, Scitalis' ego was
boosted, so much so that he believed only Emperor Hou Yi could stop him.
Arriving in the jungle with nice scenery, he stumbled upon a beautiful woman taking a
bath in the mountain spring. His lustfulness prevailed.
Little did Scitalis know, however, that the beautiful woman was one of the Nine Heaven
Shieldmaiden, Yennie Johanson.
The result was predictable. Although Scitalis was a strong being, he was just a spiritual
serpent in nature, unable to contend against the Shieldmaiden, Yennie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Yennie taught Scitalis a lesson, she cast a forbidden divine energy curse on Scitalis
and dumped him into the abyss.
Due to the forbidden divine energy curse, Scitalis could not see the sunlight; his body
would burn to death upon contact. Therefore, Scitalis was trapped in the pit of the abyss.
For thousands of years, he tried to devise many methods to leave this cave and return to
the outside world, but nothing worked.
Within those thousand years, many elites of the community had accidentally fallen into
the abyss and decided to explore.
With his ruthless nature, Scitalis would not let them go so easily. In the beginning, Scitalis
would fight face-to-face with those elites of the community who came to explore and
crush them with his powerful ability. Gradually, he realized that these elites were no
weaklings. Even if Scitalis won the fight, the recovery period was very long.
Once he realized this, Scitalis began studying the surroundings, wanting to utilize
everything to kill people. Soon, he discovered the dark cyan igneous rocks could not only
glow, but those rocks could disperse a special type of fog. No matter how strong the
cultivators were, as long as they inhaled the fog long enough, they would start to
hallucinate.
