Hatred Is Love Taken to the Extreme - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Hurk!”

Covering my mouth, I hurried back to the Demon Palace and finally dry-heaved.

I was thoroughly sickened by what had been done to me.

I couldn’t help clutching my throat as my stomach and esophagus contracted in repeated spasms. But I had long since stopped needing food, so my stomach was completely empty. Waves of nausea and suffocation kept surging through me, and I spent what felt like half the day retching.

It was so unbearable that tears welled in my eyes.

At last, I vomited gastric fluid mixed with bile, leaving my throat burning with pain.

I immediately stripped off my clothes and jumped into the spirit pool. Thanks to my unusual constitution, the suggestive red and purple marks that had covered my body had already healed without leaving a trace.

Even so, I frantically scrubbed my skin. I scrubbed it red, then scrubbed it raw. Fine streams of fresh blood ran from my body and dyed the entire pool crimson.

But the vivid red wounds soon scabbed over, only for me to compulsively scrub them open again.

Disgusting!

It was utterly disgusting!

I wanted nothing more than to cut open my abdomen, pull out my intestines, wash them clean, and stuff them back inside!

Once again, my mind returned to those ten days and nights in that pocket realm…

The excruciating pain. The unbearable sensation of something foreign inside me. The sticky, filthy fluids. It had been like two white worms, stripped of all reason, writhing together…

And it had been with my sworn enemy!

My spiritual power surged out of control around me. I abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood as agony tore through my insides, as though all my organs had been ripped apart and pounded into pulp.

I nearly suffered qi deviation.

Me: “…”

Jiang Yilan, I swear one of us will die by the other’s hand!!

I had nightmares for three days and three nights straight.

Every dream was filled with Jiang Yilan’s handsome, refined, and aloof face. He had a pair of cold, tranquil phoenix eyes that never seemed to ripple. Sometimes reason prevailed within them. At other times, they drowned in a sea of lust and predatory desire.

He chuckled softly. “Ji Fen, your bones are so hard and your temper so fierce. Who would have thought you’d be so soft and hot inside?”

“Just what have I been missing all this time…? If I’d known sooner…”

My answer was to plunge an ice blade straight into his chest!

Jiang Yilan met my eyes as I struggled against the lust and saw the venomous fury, brutality, and revulsion written across my face. He lowered his head and slowly pulled out the ice blade.

Then he tossed it onto the ground with a clang.

Blood from his chest splashed across mine, nearly drenching us both from head to toe.

He seemed incapable of feeling pain. A crazed, exhilarated smile curved his bloodstained lips.

He gripped my waist.

Then he bit down on my lips, forced his tongue past my clenched teeth, and filled my mouth with his breath.

His thrusts were vicious.

…

……

I woke with a dark expression.

Then I climbed back into the spirit pool and scrubbed off another layer of skin.

I kept telling myself that I had merely been bitten by a dog.

It was only a dog bite…

But I still felt as though I had suffered a tremendous loss!

I had left in such a hurry, sickened the entire way back.

I hadn’t even taken the divine artifact with me!

How had the two of us fallen victim to the trap?

We had both received word that a divine artifact had appeared in a certain pocket realm.

Countless cultivators had gathered to fight over it.

Jiang Yilan and I were each more ruthless than the other. We used the other cultivators to gradually wear down the guardian beast at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Some of the cultivators died, while the rest fled.

Only then did Jiang Yilan and I finally show ourselves. Barely able to stand each other, we reluctantly joined forces and killed the guardian beast.

But who would claim the divine artifact?

Who would it belong to?

We immediately turned on each other and began fighting without mercy.

Every attack targeted a vital point. Each of us wanted nothing more than to kill the other.

As it turned out, the guardian beast wasn’t quite dead. With its final breath, it released a poisonous mist in the hope of dragging both of us to the grave with it.

However, wherever there was poison, an antidote was bound to be within three steps.

With a flick of his foot, Jiang Yilan caught the divine artifact and began manipulating it with calm precision. He seemed to know the artifact inside and out, and it purified the poisonous mist on the spot!

But.

Once purified, the poisonous mist turned into a nonlethal aphrodisiac.

Me: “?”

Jiang Yilan: “?”

Despite being at Soul Formation Great Perfection, I immediately succumbed. So did Jiang Yilan, even though he was at Middle Mahayana Stage.

Given my constitution, I could truly be called immune to every poison. Mere poisons and aphrodisiacs had no effect on me whatsoever, not even those from the Cultivation World.

Yet for some reason, the mist purified by that divine artifact made all the blood in my body boil and robbed me of part of my reason.

Jiang Yilan’s usual aloof indifference vanished as well. He dropped to one knee and panted heavily, fine beads of sweat forming across his forehead. His eyes were already shot through with a terrifying amount of red.

Our gazes met, and we attacked at the exact same moment.

Strike while he is weak and take his life!

The result?

As a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, I couldn’t defeat a Mahayana Realm cultivator who had turned vicious. Jiang Yilan, nearly out of his mind, slammed me to the ground, pinned me beneath him, and had his way with me for ten days and ten nights.

My constitution possessed an extraordinarily powerful ability to heal itself, so the intimate marks he left on me vanished within minutes.

Like an unreasonable beast, Jiang Yilan watched the territory he had claimed lose the marks he had personally branded upon it. Something twisted and dark flashed through his phoenix eyes. His movements grew even rougher and more brutal, and his teeth sank deep into the flesh of my chest until he drew blood.

The pain made my vision go black. I grabbed his long hair and yanked it backward, then slammed his head into the ground as though I were bouncing a ball, smashing a crater into the earth!

…

……

Unbelievable!

Being pinned beneath him was bad enough, but I hadn’t even brought back the divine artifact. I felt like I’d lost a hundred million!

The cultivation ranks in this cultivation novel were Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation Realm, Mahayana Realm, and Tribulation Transcendence Realm.

I had already languished at Soul Formation Great Perfection for two years without making a breakthrough.

That divine artifact was the key to my breakthrough into the Mahayana Realm!
