Chapter 3787
As soon as Skylar was done talking, he removed a crimson red bead from his body and examined it vaguely. The
red bead had lost its opaque appearance and turned translucent. A closer look unveiled a black-coloured worm
encased within.
In the next second, he struck Neil's acupoints and stuffed the bead into his mouth.
"Hrrrk!" Neil gagged.
Before he could react, the bead had already made its way to the pit of his stomach.
"You... What did you make me eat?" Neil was stunned. Although he was also brimming with anger, he couldn’t
resist the urge to ask.
Skylar looked at him with a tranquil gaze. "What you just swallowed is called a Soul-devouring Bloodworm. This
special worm will make its way to your skull and embed itself in your brain. It will slowly feed and eat away at
your essence, just like a parasite.
"Don't worry! It's not the end of the world yet; I have full control of this bloodworm swimming in you. As long as
you listen to my every word and do as I say, I will guarantee your survival. Unless you prefer having a worm
slowly suck the last remaining ounce of essence from your soulless body — you decide," Skylar said, slightly

"Also, to save both of US time, here's some advice. Don't even bother trying to remove the
bloodworm. As we're talking, the bloodworm has already sufficiently fused with your
essence," Skylar conveyed his final warning.
'Soul-devouring Bloodworm?' Neil was still frozen in shock.
After hearing all this, he was filled with all sorts of conflicting thoughts and emotions. His
body froze in place.
'Such a terrifying name for such a minuscule-looking worm. Just thinking about it sends
chills down my spine. I've been wandering in the world of cultivators for years but have
yet to witness anything this eerie and oppressive,' Neil thought.
At this time, he was still unaware that the Soul-devouring Bloodworm was an ability that
stems from Skylar's demonic essence. It wasn't something that he could just find in The
Nine Mainland, so it was only natural for him to be clueless about this.
A few seconds later, Neil looked at Skylar with squinted eyes and gritted teeth. "Are you
trying to blackmail me? You must be dreaming if you think putting my life on the line is
enough to crack me! rd rather die than be manipulated into being your pawn."
With these final words, Neil was about to bite his tongue and end himself.
In Neil's heart, his father, Chester Wilson, was a great hero. He was well known throughout
the world and was a man of indomitable spirit.
'If I go down, I shall go down honoring him! I can't let myself fall by the hands of someone
like him,' Neil pondered his final thoughts.
Skylar snapped his fingers. He had seen through Neil's attempt to finish himself off. At
once, a buzzing sensation jolted through Neil's brain and his body was stuck in a state of
paralysis, so naturally, he lost control over his tongue.
It was obvious that this was Skylar's doing. He triggered the activation of the Soul-
devouring Bloodworm inside Neil's brain.
"Tsk tsk tsk... When you work for me, I decide when I'm through with you. You die when I
want you to," Skylar mocked with a forced faint smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith that, he flashed towards Lucia, taking out another bead with a Soul-devouring
Bloodworm and force-fed it to her.
"No! You..." Neil screamed in agony and despair.
It didn't take long before Lucia's body grew frail and her face turned pale as a ghost.
"You bastard! Take it out on me all you want; what does this have to do with her!" Neil shouted at Skylar.
"If you would just listen to me like a good little boy, I wouldn't have to resort to such a lowlife tactic. How else do
you suggest I make you submit to me?" Skylar replied with a chuckle, feeling dumb having to answer something
so rhetorical.
"I know that you don't mind dying, but when we bring your cute little girlfriend into the equation, however, it
becomes a different story. Do you have the heart to watch your loved one slowly deteriorate until all that's left is
their cold, soulless body?" Skylar spoke in a slow manner, emphasizing the words 'cold' and ' soulless.'
Skylar's last words sent chills down Lucia's spine, she couldn't stop her own limbs from trembling as though they
had a conscience of their own.
"Neil..." Lucia mumbled with the little breath she had left, her eyes locking onto Neil's.
Her gaze shot straight through Neil's soul. This was the final straw.
Neil's heart was battling an internal conflict. He gritted his teeth and started to contemplate, 'If I don't give in, I
can still retain my good reputation. But if I don't give in, Lucia will have to suffer inhuman pain, maybe even
death’ Neil pondered before giving a response. “Fine, you got me. I give up"
