Chapter 5395: The Parasitic Physique’s Nature

Davis walked alongside them in the middle, finally explaining his founding and building on it.

"Indeed, the rare case of Parasitic Physique is still in its dormancy, suppressed by her bloodline powers. There is no need to worry. The side effect is quite similar to what Eden is going through right now, and Jillian has diagnosed him as well and began to prepare a poison concoction that would help him regain his true emotions. She said the best time to deal with these kinds of issues is when they are young. She is also helping Quentin and a few others who seemed to be affected by their physiques. It’s a lot of troublemakers in Class Three. Nonetheless, different than Eden’s physique, Esvele’s is a parasitic one that would instinctively retaliate upon being threatened, so we need to be careful when we deal with it."

Shirley and the others nodded.

However, they were still shocked to know that Esvele was affected by such a thing.

They had never come across a Parasitic Physique in their lives. That was how rare it was. As mortals, it was not impossible for it to awaken, and even if it did, it might end up controlling the host, and for immortals, it would’ve already transformed into a lifeform and flown away to cause calamitous disasters before getting easily killed by some sect.

They wouldn’t even be able to guess its origin, or how that physique came about, since there would be no source to be found.

The source would’ve been consumed by the lifeform instead.

Some of them didn’t even know until now, as this was a thing of the past when poison curses sects were more active.

Even Schleya hadn’t heard of it until the past decade, when she looked through ancient texts.

"I’ve encountered one before in the First Haven World. It was like the Blood Realm Calamity, hard to deal with since it acts like a human and is practically a human since it is born from one or controlling one, but is not one. It would prey on humans, devour them. It doesn’t differentiate between humans and other races as everything is in its palette. In the end, it went off a cliff and didn’t survive the fall as a mortal. I chased it to death." Zenova said without blinking as though she had done something insignificant.

"..."

Davis was speechless.

Nonetheless, he advised her, "Zenova, what are you doing walking around everywhere? Go take some rest. You need to have the awareness that you’re still pregnant, in the third trimester at that. Learn from Panqa and Illumina. They’re staying in one place, and haven’t even sent their avatars, learning other stuff with them."

Zenova simply smiled, walking with one hand on her swollen belly and the other gesturing coolly, "They have so much more to learn unlike me. Naturally, I also have a lot to learn after becoming an Empyrean and have my avatar do the learning for me. I rest a lot too, and walking is good for me. However, it doesn’t trump being together with you. You have just returned after a gruesome mission, my Emperor. Allow me to accompany you for it is my utmost duty."

"..."

Davis looked troubled yet moved at the same time.

His Zenova always freaking had her way with her words, rendering him unable to talk some sense to her. She made preposterous things sound as though it was his right, and then treated him like a real Emperor.

Mingzhi narrowed her beautiful brows.

"So... are you saying you’re going to remove it? Is growing along with it and utilizing it not an option? Pew, pew, pew~"

She raised her hands, extending the thumb, index finger, and pinky finger while curling the middle and ring fingers down into the palm as she shot some light strands into the hallway. Darkness swirled over it as it shot through the hallway.

"Hey, careful~"

"Ah~"

Fiora pulled on Mingzhi’s ear while pulling her away from Zenova.

Davis shook his head with a silent chuckle.

"Venom will not manifest. All we have is a Realm Calamity. Maybe if we kill it, I would be able to control it through necromancy as I did for the Eternal Eclipse Bird that has completely been robbed from me by a childish adult darkness spirit and won’t give it back to me. However, this plan is too dangerous."

Shirley and the others’ gazes flickered.

It might mean accidentally killing Esvele and reawakening her as an undead, too.

"Still- ou-ouch. Just imagine the possibilities...!" Mingzhi’s eyes gleamed.

"..."

The others looked at her as though she was a monster.

Only crazies would allow parasites to live in them.

"You still don’t learn!" Fiora began pinching Mingzhi’s waist, causing Mingzhi to dance painfully.

Davis suppressed his laughter, "Mingzhi, we have no idea what that is. Jillian Hayden said she had not heard about such a parasitic physique either. However, she said it’s really strong and can become a Realm Calamity given Esvele breaks through to the Exalt Stage. I’d like to help Esvele control it, but I’m not sure if she’s up to the task. Her battle instincts aren’t bad, but she’s still our Head Maid. It’s better if we remove the lifeform and keep the mutated physique. Jillian Hayden said it was difficult since it was one and the same."

"Usually, killing it would mean the collapse of the physique, and her cultivation would also fall by a huge margin. But through the interaction with another suitable accursed poison of the opposing nature, Jillian Hayden claimed that the lifeform can be cannibalized, allowing Esvele to obtain the mutated physique for herself. Only, Esvele doesn’t know what kind of accursed insect poison she swallowed, making it incredibly difficult. But fortunately. I have determined it is a centipede from what I saw in her Emotion Physical Soul. It’s hiding there like an insect hiding under a table, ready to pop up and... eat you!"

"Ahh!~"

Davis suddenly jumped on Aila and embraced her, causing her to jump.

"..." Xiu Juili was speechless.

Did this family take nothing seriously? How could they not feel fear when an Exalt threat was living right underneath their noses?

In truth, everyone felt a chill hearing Davis explain, but they could also tell he really didn’t care.

Why?

Because he beat up the Celestial Transcendent a few times, he really didn’t put other Exalts in his eyes anymore. To him, he only needed to locate them with his soul sense, and he might be able to suppress them to death. And in this sanctuary, it must be known he also shared a connection with Stella after eating her special fruit, so he was able to have control over this space as much as she could, if not better when he wore the Temporal Voidplane Ring, which was in Stella’s hand now.

She seemed to like it so much that Davis was having a hard time asking for it back.

Aila looked embarrassed.

She puffed her cheeks at Davis and harrumphed, but because they were still walking fast, she was left behind.

"Ah, wait~"

She chased after them.

Mingzhi rubbed her red ear and wounded waist after Fiora let it go, "So it’s a Parasitic Physique borne from a curse poison, but it was a Darkness Malevolent Physique. The resulting mutation wouldn’t be simple. What else did you find? If Teacher Zera Nullheart of the Aurora Cloud Gate was here, she might know."

She said with a bit of nostalgia. Guardian Zera Nullheart was the one who made her twilight physique possible.

"The physique itself manifested in Esvele’s heart like a cavity, absorbing all of her emotions, but it’s main attribute is... space."

Davis suddenly stopped, causing all of them to stop and Aila to crash into Isabella’s back. She felt like she had hit a rock, causing her to rub her forehead while Isabella giggled at her. Zenova was careful. She straight away pulled Yilla to her side and made her a shield against the absent-minded ones who were deep in their imagination.

Yilla turned speechless.

Davis ignored everything happening and uttered in an excited voice, "It’s a damn Hollow Law Physique-"

"...!"

"-like the one Venerable Hollow Knight has, a fusion of Darkness Laws and Yin Fusion of Space Laws, but I don’t know how similar they are unless she gets to use it."

"...!"

Shirley’s jaw dropped, and so did it for many others.

This... wasn’t this Law too overpowered that it put the Venerable Hollow Knight amongst the strongest of the Venerable Knights?

And their Head Maid was going to inherit something like that?
