16 The Devil's Curse!

::::::

Boom!

The ground under his feet shattered and a huge crater appeared from which Kaido emerged in his human form, carrying a boy and a girl on his shoulders.

After that, he threw them on the ground like bags.

Cang Yue was unconscious after being heartbroken when she witnessed the death of her Contracting Profound Beast and it seemed that she wouldn't come out of this setback easily.

Indifferently, Kaido's gaze changed toward the boy, who was looking at him with hatred.

The past innocent expression on his face seemed to have disappeared.

"Hmm? What is that look on your face… Do you want to hit me?!"

"..."

"Heh? Did you have a breakthrough in two small realms? Interesting… Are your profound veins starting to wake up because of the anger?!"

Kaido knew that he was really gambling on his fate now. He could sense a different flux of profound energy from this boy who seemed to hate him deeply at this moment as if he was ready to eat him alive.

Getting him to become a subordinate under him, was Kaido's goal from the start.

But at this point, it will be difficult to achieve his goal using the normal way.

Well, it's not like Kaido intended to do it in used normal way anyway.

Suddenly, a red-dark Devil Fruit appeared in his hand.

This was a Logia-type magma fruit! Not quite like the magma fruit from the Pirate World, but rather the devil fruit that the Devil Tree generated within his profound vein after consuming the magma laws of the Pirate World and the fire laws of the Primal Chaos.

It could be said that it is a new devil fruit, although its ability is magma, it is profound magma and not an ordinary magma like what Akainu has…

This Devil Fruit could evolve as its user breakthrough the level of its cultivation base.

With this devil fruit, a so-called someone with trash talent in the cultivation world could become a strong immortal...!

It's definitely a supreme treasure that contains the laws of the world.

But no matter how distinct and wonderful it is... It's a Devil Fruit.

And what is known about the Devil Fruit?

Of course, the devil's curse!

And since he is the owner of the Devil Tree, he can create the curse he wants on the Devil Fruit.

For his own good, Kaido decided what kind of curse he would put inside the Devil Fruit a long time ago already.

In this world, there is such a wonderful thing called a slave imprint.

This slave imprint could be formed with profound energy and spiritual power and infused into the soul sea of ​​the person you wanted to enslave.

The moment the slave's imprint is implanted in the soul sea with complete conviction on the part of the recipient, he becomes a slave completely subject to the whims of the user.

Right now, Kaido cannot form the slave imprint because he simply hasn't reached the lowest requirements. Spirit Profound Realm. Nor does he have the ability to convince someone to become his slave.

However, the moment the Devil Tree awakened in his profound veins... It completely belonged to him. So the will of Devil Tree becomes his will, too.

Kaido removed the sea curse from the Devil Tree's consciousness and replaced it with a new curse.

From now on, anyone who eats the devil fruits he produces will be cursed to serve him forever!

This is the new curse!

Kaido's lips curved into an evil smile as he approached Yuanba who was still looking at him with eyes carrying a great deal of hatred.

Ever since he heard about what happened in the New Moon Profound Palace from Cang Yue, Kaido had become a bloody enemy of Yuanba.

"Are you hungry? You can eat this..."

Yuanba struck the devil fruit away with his hand refusing to even talk let alone eat it.

"Hm? You don't want to eat it? Well, you won't see your sister and your father after today."

When Yuanba heard what Kaido said, his body shivered and turned cold.

"You…! What do you mean…? My older sister…? My father?! Where are they?!!!"

Yuanba started crawling toward Kaido and grabbed his leg... He really looked in dire straits.

"Eat that fruit first, then I'll tell you what you need to learn."

It is easy to deceive this boy. Since Kaido knew it, why not deceive him?

No, in fact, everyone in this cultivation world is easy to deceive.

And not only Yuanba.

When he heard that from Kaido, Yuanba didn't even guess what he was going to eat. he ran towards the place where the fruit had fallen and instantly swallowed it.

It tasted disgusting, but he didn't care because the moment he ate the Devil Fruit, the light from his eyes disappeared and was replaced by an extraordinary devilish light.

The curse has entered into force!

"From this moment on, you will be the Beast Emperor, above everyone and only below me. I am Kaido the King of Beasts… Your King! Is that understandable?"

"From now on I'll be the Beast Emperor, above everyone and only below the King of Beasts, Kaido!"

"Understood, My king!"

Yuanba kneeled toward Kaido with abnormal piety in his eyes, although some parts of his body were starting to turn into liquid red lava, Yuanba didn't notice it at all.

The curse required him not to harbor any thoughts of betrayal towards his master, forever, as long as he's a Devil Fruit user.

But the devil's curse didn't take away his consciousness, thoughts, and core, he was still worried about his family's safety, it's just for him now, Kaido is more important.

"Wororororo!! That's good!"

Kaido was so satisfied with this result before his eyes. he'd never wasted a precious devil fruit.

For him, he basically possessed the abilities of the Magma Fruit and even the Fire Fruit, and any new Devil Fruit would grow on the Devil Tree in the future.

If he gives it to his slave, there is no loss, because the slave belongs to him anyway.

"You don't have to worry about your family, it was a joke. Since they are your family, I won't hurt them… Now, go, pick up that unconscious girl and follow me."

"Understood, Master!"

Yuanba followed Kaido's instructions as if they were heavenly orders, quickly put the unconscious Cang Yue on his shoulder, and followed behind Kaido who made his way through the green trees.

Along the way, Kaido killed any profound beast that dared to approach and slowly but surely made his way towards the Phoenix Clan.

Undoubtedly, in his current form, the Phoenix Spirit guarding the trial ground would not associate him with the Azure Dragon Race.

That is why he will participate in the trials like any other participant in the past.

His grand plan is already taking shape... One of the protagonist's most loyal friends is drawn to his side and becomes his powerful slave.

Undoubtedly, in the next few weeks, Yuanba's cultivation base would accelerate to its peak, since his profound veins were starting to wake up, and most importantly, he took the title of Beast Emperor that his master had given him very seriously.

The moment the owner of a Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins recognized his qualifications as an emperor, ascending to the top of the cultivation realms would be the next thing that would happen.

A big smile formed on Kaido's face... In this world, Yuanba would be the new Alber of the Pirate World.

...

As they turned around a short hill, a small village appeared before their eyes. A few middle-aged adults dressed in rough clothing stood in the front of the village, wearing expressions of Anxiety and stress.

The reason was, of course, the Black Demon Mercenaries Group who had noticed their existence.

Since yesterday, when Black Tiger tried to storm their village they have been terrified.

But the appearance of Kaido and Yuanba carrying a girl on his back made their fear come true.

"Mother... That big man, he has horns!"

"Hush!" The mother shut her daughter's mouth from saying more.

Kaido's height was too much for a human, so in their hearts, the villagers knew that their guest this time was not a human.

The annoyed expression on Kaido's face turned into a gentle smile... Although he didn't look like it, he tried his best to show good intentions.

This clan, they have phoenix blood in their bodies... They would be good members crew for him!

"Hello, who is the village chief here? I'd destroyed the Black Demon Mercenary Group on my way here, we are not members of them."
