"Pfft!"
The avatar of Evil God Suruk took Beef Noodles' punch head-on. That strike almost blew apart the face of Chi Mo's body under Suruk's control!
Physical damage didn't really matter to Suruk's avatar.
However…
"That punch shattered thirteen wisps of this Evil God's will?!" Suruk's avatar shrieked in terror.
"Well done! As expected of my proudest disciple!" He Yiming couldn't help but shout loudly, wearing a righteous expression.
"Holy crap, Brother Ming is shameless! Who was it that used to call him 'despicable brat' every day?"
"Damn, has Brother Ming been corrupted by those third beta test scumbags?"
"Oh no! You're not like this, Brother Ming! Give me back my pure and simple Brother Ming!"
The other players were dumbfounded.
"Brother Ming, you've changed!"
"Where did the lecherous, evil, perverted you go—the one who liked peeking and squatting behind everyone with that creepy smirk?"
"Yeah, could Brother Ming have been possessed by the Evil God?"
The players all chimed in.
Then He Yiming knocked each of them on the head with a punch.
"Come on, Suruk! Come at me! Let's hurt each other, you trash!" Beef Noodles raised his fists, hopping around and shouting.
"???" Suruk's avatar was going insane.
What the hell?!
This thing?
This guy?
How could he possibly be the master of Purgatory Immortal Emperor?
No matter in power, realm, or anything else—this so-called Handsome Noodles wasn't even worth one of the Purgatory Immortal Emperor's hair!
And yet Purgatory Immortal Emperor's will had clearly acknowledged him as master?
What was going on?
A guy who hadn't even lived a hundred years, who from head to toe radiated the word "idiot"—how could he be the master of one of the two strongest beings from tens of thousands of years ago?
WTF?
"Hold on! The will of the Purgatory Immortal Emperor is only a remnant—it will dissipate soon! Just endure it… pffft!" Suruk's avatar muttered through clenched teeth—only to get punched in the face again by Beef Noodles.
"Hahaha! Trash Evil God! Get up! Bounce again! Today I'm gonna smash you to death with fists the size of sand pots!" Beef Noodles laughed wildly, looking more evil than the Evil God himself—wicked, vicious, utterly arrogant. Every word he spoke was begging for a beating.
"Damn it… This Evil God is Suruk!!! Endure! Hold on! I must endure until the last moment!" Suruk's avatar raised both arms, defending with all his strength, minimizing damage. Knocked down again and again—yet he kept climbing back up!
His figure was filled with hot blood, tears, and—
"Wait." He Yiming tilted his head.
Something felt off.
Normally, shouldn't the Evil God be unleashing divine might, sweeping everything aside, while he led the players in a bloody struggle, persevering until the final moment?
Why had it turned into this?
Beef Noodles acting outrageously arrogant, wantonly beating and bullying Suruk's avatar?
Was this even reasonable?
But thinking about it carefully…
Beef Noodles had the will of Purgatory Immortal Emperor augmenting him. Beating up Suruk's hundred wisps of will didn't seem strange at all!
"Ahhh!"
At that moment, Suruk's avatar was knocked down again by a punch.
Beef Noodles stretched out his foot and stepped on Suruk's face.
"Hahahaha! Trash! Get up! Hit me! Huh? Garbage Evil God! Trash Suruk!" Beef Noodles was worse than a villain—evil, wicked, arrogant beyond measure.
"Damn…" Suruk's avatar gritted his teeth and struggled to rise—only to be stomped down again and again.
"Why do I feel like Brother Noodles is the bad guy?"
"I was just thinking that!"
"Let's be honest—Brother Noodles was never a good guy, okay?"
The players were speechless.
Wasn't this supposed to be a legendary mission? Everyone risking their lives to stop the Evil God's descent? The quest interface clearly said so!
But what was this now?
A shameless villain Brother Noodles publicly beating up and bullying Evil God Suruk while being spectated by countless people?
What nobody could understand was—
"How did Brother Noodles become Purgatory Immortal Emperor's master? Is this a bug? This isn't just the child of this version—he's the grandfather of this version!"
In the Immortal Emperor Era, who was the strongest? Obviously the Immortal Emperors!
After everyone fought so hard to reach the final boss, before they even had a chance to shine—
Brother Noodles transformed into the master of Purgatory Immortal Emperor and started beating up the final boss live.
WTF!
Where's my gameplay experience?! Damn you, Dog Planner—come out and die!
So the players began shouting—
"Evil God Suruk, come on! Get up!"
"Yeah! Beat him, Suruk!"
"You're Evil God Suruk! Get up and beat Brother Noodles to death, that despicable brat!"
They actually started cheering—
For Suruk.
He Yiming: "???"
Suruk's avatar: "???"
Beef Noodles: "???"
"Pwa!!!"
After struggling desperately, Suruk's avatar was finally blasted apart—ninety-nine strands of will destroyed. Only the very first strand remained—the one that once controlled the Evil God Labyrinth and possessed Chi Mo.
"Has this invasion… truly failed?" the final strand of Suruk's will muttered unwillingly.
But at that moment—
The will of the Purgatory Immortal Emperor on Beef Noodles finally dissipated!
Almost simultaneously—
"!"
Beef Noodles' vision went dark. He found himself in a black world.
Not far away, a familiar figure appeared.
From the Primordial Era—his adorable little disciple, Purgatory.
"Disciple?"
"Master!"
Teacher and disciple reunited, deeply moved.
"I didn't expect… you really became an Immortal Emperor?" Beef Noodles sighed.
But thinking about it—
His disciple was basically a walking bug, ridiculously overpowered. Just a few random words from him and the kid would gain enlightenment and grow stronger. It was perfectly reasonable for such a cheat to become an Immortal Emperor!
"Master, there isn't much time. Remember what I'm about to say!" Purgatory's phantom looked extremely anxious.
"Hm? What is it?" Beef Noodles froze.
"The one you see is only a final strand of my will. It has existed for tens of thousands of years. Originally, it could never have gathered into form again!"
"But because you carry my aura, it was able to assemble."
"However, I will soon dissipate. Master, you must remember this next sentence!"
"If in the future you encounter me—remember, he is no longer me!"
"He is your enemy! Do not hesitate! If possible…"
"Please kill me!"
"Master… do not forget. And do not be soft-hearted…"
After speaking hoarsely, Purgatory's phantom slowly dissipated.
"Disciple! Disciple! Purgatory!!!" Beef Noodles shouted three times—no response.
"What do you mean… you're no longer you?" Beef Noodles didn't understand, but he faintly sensed—
Something extremely bad had happened to Purgatory.
Thinking carefully…
When they met in the Primordial Era, Purgatory truly was human—the last member of the Refine Clan.
But then why…
Why was the Purgatory True Demon Body one of the Ten Supreme Demon Physiques, cultivated by demons?
Purgatory became Purgatory Immortal Emperor—yet after battling the Heavenly Dao Five Calamities in the Primordial Era, he was exiled.
And after that exile…
What happened?
"No matter what! You will always be my disciple! If you're truly in danger, and as your master I can't even save my own disciple, then what the hell am I even playing this game for?!" Beef Noodles said seriously.
"Whoosh!"
Light flashed around him. Beef Noodles' eyes brightened as he regained consciousness.
"So the will of the Purgatory Immortal Emperor has finally been exhausted? Hahaha! Now it's this Evil God's turn to strike back!" The final strand of Suruk's will rejoiced and threw a punch!
"Pfft!"
Before Beef Noodles could react, he spun thirty-six thousand degrees midair and crashed to the ground.
He didn't die—but was left with only a sliver of life.
"Without the will of Purgatory Immortal Emperor, this Evil God—"
Suruk's final strand laughed, just forming a smile.
From behind him, a voice rang out—
"Second Demon Body, Purgatory True Demon Body!"
"Purgatory Incarnation!!!"
