Chapter 726: 726
Quinnmani quickly swept its gaze across the other heads . It wanted to find out which head was not supposed to be there .
However, no matter how it looked, the other eight heads looked the same . None of them was any different .
It was born this way . Besides the main head, the other heads were nearly identical . Many a time, it would not even be able to differentiate them itself .
After checking for half a day, it was still unable to tell which one was the extra head . Suddenly, it had an idea .
“By the way, who was the one who was the most eager to sign the name?!”
Quinnmani did not sign its name with its fingers, but its tongue . The tip of its tongue was more flexible than its fingers . By wetting the tip of its own tongue with the sticky goo on it body, the goo could be used as a corrosive ink to write on scrolls .
When it thought about this, it immediately remembered about the scroll which it just signed .
“That’s right, that scroll!”
It suddenly had a bad feeling . A chill crept down its spine and spread toward all parts of its body .
“I…”
“Contract established . ” Suddenly, a vast and muffled voice came from the depths of hell .
At the same time, an indescribable power originating from the void came upon it without taking form . This power was not suppressive; it was more of a kind of binding and communication .
Quinnmani was stunned . However, when a new piece of information surged into his mind, its brains almost went haywire .
“I… I’ve become the sacrifice for the contract?!”
It shuddered in cold . It suddenly remembered the scroll just now . There must have been something fishy about that scroll!
Suddenly, a strange voice spoke, “What’s wrong? We should be happy that the contract is established, no? Why’re you all looking so devastated?”
Quinnmani’s numerous eyes looked up at the same time . They looked at the head that spoke .
“It was you!” it said through clenched teeth .
The sixth head from the left was displaying a faint smile right now . It was looking at Quinnmani’s main head, feeling secure in the knowledge that it had backing .
“Yes, it’s me . I did some meddling during the signing of the contract, but that’s nothing . Even without a contract, the Transport Door is now complete . You won’t be able to escape from me . ”
As it spoke, the sixth head slowly broke away from Quinnmani’s body . The lone head with a part of the neck separated from the body and melted into a ball of flesh .
The flesh ball wriggled for a while and quickly morphed . A few seconds later, it turned into a big and tall handsome man who looked strong without equal .
“I’m Lu Sheng . You may address me as your lord, boss, or big brother, I won’t mind . Naturally, from this moment on, you’ll be directly under my command and will do my bidding . ” The man was Lu Sheng who had sneaked into this layer of hell .
Initially, he’d planned on summoning the feudal lord of hell through conventional means, and would later decide if he would actually eat it . However, he changed his mind .
This was also inspired by his experience of having his meal interrupted by the abyssal consciousness . If the great lord of hell charged out and fought him as well, he would suffer too great of a loss .
Hence, he chose another, gentler path .
He signed a contract with Quinnmani while its mental waves were extremely stable .
As long as the feudal lord’s soul did not put up a fierce resistance, the great lord of hell would not be able to sense it . This way, he would gain control of a feudal lord without alerting the powers that be .
Also, this feudal lord seemed foolish enough . Lu Sheng merely used his body-controlling art and illusion arts, and he was able to fool this feudal lord in no time .
What a pitiful child .
Lu Sheng looked at Quinnmani with a pitiable look .
“Rargh!”
The eight-headed gecko was infuriated . It had been duped into signing a contract under baffling circumstances . It had now offered itself up as a sacrifice to this monster who resembled a human before him!
A sacrifice! That was an absolute contract which stated that it was willing to offer up its own life and soul . The void and hell also bore witness to this .
Quinnmani could not suppress the rage it felt .
Even if it was a contract of sacrifice, if the difference in strength between them was too huge, it could still forcibly break free from the bond of the contract .
It wanted to make this little maggot understand that power was everything in these parts . Power would crush everything! In the face of absolute power—

“Puh!”
Suddenly, an unimaginably powerful force suddenly rammed into Quinnmani’s abdomen .
The force was so powerful that it felt like a compressed mountain range crashing against its own abdomen .
All eight of Quinnmani’s head spat out blood . Its body bent like a bow as it reeled from the intense impact .
“Rumble!”
An intense vibration suddenly spread out from the inner wall of hell’s tunnel . The dull vibration spread in all directions .
Some of the transparent souls which had just fell in from above were instantly shattered by this strong vibration . They were granted release from their suffering .
After a long while, the eight-headed gecko slowly got to its feet on the inner wall of the tunnel . If its body had not been covered in sticky goo, it would have most probably directly fallen down like the other souls from that blow .
“You lowlife!” it roared . “Are sneak attacks all that you’re capable of?! A maggot from the main plane dares to make a fool out of the great master Quinnmani! I’ll have your soul—”
“Boom!”
Another beam of yellow light reached it . Like a cannonball, it crashed heavily against the middle of its chest .
“Crack…”
A crisp sound of bones cracking could be heard from Quinnmani’s body .
It looked down with fear at the gaping, bloody hole which was opened up in its own chest .
‘That’s it . I’ll kill you!’ Quinnmani shouted angrily within its own heart .
“Death Goo!” It struggled and roared . Its skin quickly excreted a huge amount of poisonous goo which exuded toxic fumes .
The toxic goo became emerald green in color, and emitted black toxic fumes . It grew in quantity and thickness . In no time, it formed a layer of thick gooey armor on its body .
“Go!” it shouted furiously . The sticky goo all over its body erupted at the same time .

The emerald-colored toxic liquid sprayed everywhere like raindrops . It came from all directions, seemingly leaving no blind spots .
Lu Sheng hovered in midair with his arms crossed before himself .
“In the name of the contract, all of your attacks will naturally be weakened by 99% . There’s no way that you can harm me…”
Naturally, Quinnmani was aware of this . However, it was betting on the fact that the remaining sliver of strength it was left with would still be extremely powerful against a mere mortal . Even with the weakened strength, it could still easily wipe out a legendary expert .
This was Quinnmani’s plan . However, when it saw that the goo was automatically repelled by a formless airflow around Lu Sheng, the hope it harbored in its heart gradually fell to the bottom of despair .
“Alright, play time’s over . Shrink yourself . We’re leaving,” Lu Sheng ordered with a hint of impatience .
“Bzz…”
A formless power in the void immediately covered Quinnmani’s eight heads .
It raised its head, intending to roar, but its body obediently shrunk under the control of this unexplainable power . It morphed into a little emerald lizard and rested on Lu Sheng’s shoulder .
“Let’s go . ” Lu Sheng turned around and stepped into the Transport Door . In no time, the red light of the Transport Door swiftly dimmed and darkened . The entire Transport Door shrunk again, this time becoming a ball of red light . Then, with a poof, it vanished without a trace .
Over four consecutive days, Lu Sheng ordered men to investigate the whereabouts of the seven-colored dragons while he continued to summon feudal lords from hell for his own consumption .
Besides Quinnmani, whom he did not eat, he summoned another five feudal lords . He left two tactful ones as his servants and ate the other three .
One of them was Barnes, who was in charge of torture hell . It was the standard three-headed hellhound king .
The other one was Scheernighting, a humanoid feudal lord with a trunk of a venomous serpent .
These two feudal lords were tactful enough . After Lu Sheng led a feudal lord of hell and an abyssal feudal lord on an assault against them, the two of them wisely signed the contract of souls with Lu Sheng . Like Quinnmani, they became his helpful servants .
With this, Lu Sheng managed to gather the Abominations and four feudal lords under his command . His extremely powerful organization in the main plane was basically established .
However, due to the natural suppression of the main plane’s will, the strength of the feudal lords was only at the divine region rank .

However, there were not many divine region-ranked beings in the main plane .
The Golden Dragon Tribe and the Black Dragon Tribe were the two most powerful tribes among the dragons . The number of divine region dragons they had were only in the single digits .
The large churches had some, but there were not many . After all, the divine region rank was the upper limit of the ranks attainable by life in the main plane .
Once a divine region being pledged himself to a deity, he would be able to transform into a divine spirit at the very least . If a divine spirit was granted Godhood, he would be able to ignite God Fire, establish a god nation, and become a true god in no time .
For ordinary living beings, even if the legendary experts were granted Godhood, they would have to experience countless trials and hardships to ignite God Fire . They would only be able to assimilate their souls with the Godhood and become a true god after amassing huge amounts of Divinity .
“The divine region is the rank attained by a being at the peak of the legendary rank . They are demigods without God Fire . ”
Within the great hall underneath the cursed land .
Lu Sheng sat on his high perch . To his left sat a row of Abominations . To his right sat the feudal lords of hell and the abyss .
The feudal lords instinctively held the Abominations in contempt and disgust . However, the Abominations were different . They were not at all afraid of the natural suppression of the main plane . They were naturally immune to this .
Hence, if they fought one-on-one, any single one of these Abominations could take on a group of feudal lords .
“If that’s the case, does this mean that we’re very powerful now?” After Lu Sheng listened to the hellhound king, Barnes’s explanation, he gained some understanding about the divine region rank .
“We’re powerful, unprecedentedly so . ” Barnes was a sly character . He would set the helm according to the wind, but he was also well-learned . In terms of knowledge, none of the monsters present here could be his match .
“Now that the Light Church and the Shadow Church are at war, their most powerful individuals are none other than their archbishops and their popes . Other than that, there are military officers such as the presiding judges . In the Light Church, they have three divine regions, and 10 to 13 legendaries, at most . ” Barnes gave a detailed analysis .
“If they summon an angel on a short notice and offer up their bodies as hosts, they could produce at least three to five demigods in no time . In our case, our Abominations alone are equivalent to eight demigods and four divine regions . On top of that, we have us four feudal lords, who are at the peak of the divine region . That’s almost the strength of two Light Churches!” Barnes face was filled with passion .
When the others heard this, they nodded slightly .
If they looked at it that way, it was true that they were almost unparalleled in the main plane . They could practically act as they pleased .
They had this power and their master Lu Sheng, who was unfathomable .
