Chapter 856
Above Dong Hai City, on a thin cloud suspended a thousand feet above the ground, Lord Bowang was strapped by a soft rope woven of reeds to a stake made of the bones of some spirit beasts . He was fully naked; the rope was green, and countless bizarre runes were drawn on its surface using human blood . Although it was made of reeds, when coupled with the runes, it had a very strong power to keep one tightly bound .
The rope could, at most, trap a peak-level Gold Immortal though, and Lord Bowang had already obtained the cultivation base of a ninth-tier Primordial Immortal an eon ago . Of course, as the crown prince of the Heaven, most of his overall strength came from the virtues of the mortal world . He was the so-called Primordial of Virtues . Although he had the attainment of a Primordial expert, he did not have the corresponding foundation; his magic power and cultivation base were only about the same as a common upper-tier Gold Immortal . Therefore, he could not stand a fight against Wu Qi .
As a result, the rope could easily imprison him, and no matter how he struggled, he could not free himself from it .
If he wanted to get out of here, there was actually another way . He could crack the crown of his head and flee with only his immortal soul, abandoning his fleshly body . With his attainment of a Primordial Immortal, the rope could not stop him from doing that . However, as he had worked so hard to obtain his Primordial body, it was a tough decision to make . Hence, all he did was keep cursing while being imprisoned on the bone stake, and let all the soldiers and civilians in the city admired his fair, flawless body .
Dozens of whips made of the skins of venomous pythons could be seen hovering on the cloud . They had all been soaked in some bizarre, deadly venoms, and were drawn with various weird runes as well . Every now and then, groups of soldiers and generals would ride their mounts and fly into the sky, then land on the cloud and lash Lord Bowang with the whips .
The runes on the whips made them as sharp as blades and as heavy as mountains; each lash tore his delicate skin and made him bleed . On top of that, as they were soaked with venom, the crimson venom irritated his nerves and muscles, and magnified his pain by a hundredfold as it entered his body . Even though he had the attainment of a Primordial Immortal, he still screamed at the top of his lungs due to the excruciating pain . The wind carried his miserable cries and screams hundreds of miles away . Over the last two days, many children in the vicinity of Dong Hai City had been frightened by his howls and woken up with a start in the middle of the night .
The venom not only magnified the pain Lord Bowang was suffering, but it also came with a very strong life force . As it entered him, it stimulated his body to rapidly heal the wounds; each lash had torn his skin and flesh, and when the whip left, his flesh wiggled and regenerated at an incredible rate after being stimulated by the venom . The strange itchiness when the wounds healed was another deadly punishment, especially when the venom had the ability to magnify the itchiness by several hundred times . It really taught him what it meant to have a life worse than death .
It had been two days since he was captured by Wu Qi, and Lord Bowang had been suffering for two whole days on the cloud . On the first day, Huang Liang and the other eighteen military officers of Dong Hai had tortured him with the whips for one whole day . The torture had severely battered him and almost ripped all of his flesh from his bones . Had it not been because of the strong life force that came with the crimson venom, he would have been turned into a skeleton by now .
On the second day, it was the soldiers and generals of Dong Hai who got the chance to enjoy the pleasure of brutally beating him . He was the crown prince of the Heaven, a man standing among all the other top figures of the universe . How could these soldiers and generals, who were so loyal to Wu Qi after being brainwashed by him, let go of this rare opportunity?
Right beneath the cloud, a large wooden chest was placed on the street, and a few civil officials of Dong Hai were sitting lazily next to it . Whenever they saw some soldiers or generals walk by, they would cry out, "Here's your chance to beat the crown prince! You can torture the crown prince with a whip! It only costs you three coppers to whip him ten times, and twenty for one hundred times! This is your only chance! You can't find it anywhere else! Come over here, my friends! Here's your chance to torture the crown prince! The crown prince of the Heaven!"
It was an insult, a complete humiliation! And it was not only targeted at Lord Bowang, but also the Heaven . Wu Qi was furious that Lord Bowang had harbored an ill intention against Princess Zhang Le, and even more angry that he had invaded Dong Hai City with an army . Since Lord Bowang thought so great of himself and did not give Wu Qi face, then he would let him know what it truly meant by face-slapping!
On the top floor of a tall pagoda located in the middle of King Dong Hai Mansion, Wu Qi, Ao Buzun, Lord Xiansheng, and other demon immortals were drinking and merrymaking . From time to time, someone looked out of the window at Lord Bowang, who was screaming miserably as some soldiers or generals lashed him with the whips, and happily drank a toast .
After a while, Catfish, a little annoyed, picked up a wine jar and drank half of the liquor in it before snapping, "Why hasn't this guy cracked his own crown and fled with only his immortal soul? We had a deal…one of his legs is mine! Once his immortal soul flees, we'll immediately share his delicate fleshly body!"
When she said that, Gold Horn, Silver Horn, and a few others began to drool . The group of demon immortals fixed their eyes on Lord Bowang, all hoping that he could quickly flee with his immortal soul . Wu Qi had given him the opportunity to do that, so what was he waiting for? Once he fled, they would be able to taste the aromatic, delicate, and fair body of a Primordial Immortal!
Catfish and others had eaten countless immortals and cultivators, but they had never tasted the body of a Primordial Immortal, especially when this Lord Bowang was the crown prince of the Heaven! Just this title alone was worth them giving him a taste!
For them who had solved the problem of survival, food was no longer something that they had to work very hard to get . Therefore, it was time for them to satisfy their desire for better food! Now, they loathed to eat common cultivators; Heaven Immortals could still excite them, and Gold Immortals were considered a proper meal . But, a Primordial Immortal was like a grand feast to them, which was hard to come by!
Therefore, they were drooling while waiting impatiently for Lord Bowang to crack his crown and escape with only his immortal soul . Wu Qi had already prepared some means to make fun of him . When his immortal soul would have fled for a certain distance and he would be rejoicing for having escaped from here, six Blood-draining Celestial Fiends who had sealed off the surroundings millions of miles away from here would show him what was called an endless nightmare . By that time, Lord Bowang's fleshly body would have become their food . How wonderful was that?
