Chapter 1702 A Baffling Victory?
After being promoted to Chosen One, those favored by the gods will experience a significant enhancement in all their senses.
This is why it is possible to quickly identify and lock onto similar auras.
As a deity of higher status, Eternal Night naturally has a greater capacity for perception.
After a simple comparison with the distant memories in his mind, he confirmed the identity of those eyeballs.
He is the slumbering lord of the boundless sea, the father of the deep-diving, the watcher when the stars return to their places, and a fragment of the dream of the void.
The unspeakable ruler, Kr'thun!
Although the other party is currently in the same state as Him, both are merely projections descending to the lower realm, rather than the true self arriving in person.
But Eternal Night still couldn't understand why Krsuun was here.
You should know that this guy is a genuine 'Pillar of the World', a level higher than a true god who holds dual authority.
Instead of striving to advance further and become an even more powerful 'Primordial Creation'.
Why are you trying to get involved in the real world?
Just as He had guessed, the high-ranking gods were so cruel that they wouldn't even let a single chance slip through their fingers.
Why must all avenues for advancement be blocked?
But without the emergence of new pillars, the old pillars like Krsuhn will never be able to ascend to the Primal form, right?
It's harmful to others and doesn't benefit oneself, what's the point?
Is it really just about protecting oneself?
He simply didn't want to perish in the higher-level battle for godhood.
Yongye couldn't think of an answer for a moment.
Because even in its strongest state, it was only at the peak of a true god.
Having not even reached the half-step pillar, one naturally has no way of understanding what the pursuits of beings of higher status are.
So for now, we can only fight and think as we go, taking it one step at a time.
However, after a brief stalemate, the eyeball materialized by Krsuun still did not make any further moves, causing Yongye to feel puzzled once again.
Still sensing no killing intent, He decided to make a simple move as a test.
[Soul Devouring] cannot be activated.
After all, the container of Kusun's projection, the Flame Shell Geoduck, was already a Soul King, and now it was shielded by an unknown force field, making it completely uncontrollable.
The only option is to use the Moon-rank talent ability [Burning Body in Karmic Fire] to try and regain control.
The eerie green flames reignited.
Driven by the eternal night, the golden-horned ant-man mechanically moved toward the direction where the eyeballs were densely packed.
Seeing that the latter did not react further, he gritted his teeth and had the Golden Horned Ant-Man raise his hand, which was burning with eerie green flames, and press it down.
The small gesture was like throwing a burning match into a pile of dry cotton.
In an instant, green will-o'-the-wisps swept across the entire dark space, enveloping every eyeball manifested from the black mist!
then,
There's no after that.
The dark space sealed off by the black mist disappeared.
Yongye found himself standing once again in the corridor leading to the basement.
On the other side of the door stood Lin Qinxue, her face filled with terror, and Lin Qinyue, still unconscious on the ground.
The Silver Horned Ant-Man, now completely controlled by the ghostly green flames, was lying on the ground, feasting on the corpses of the three Corpse-Eating Ant-Mans.
Ant-Man, who had just seized control, stood quietly to the side, motionless.
The Soul King Luo Yonghao, who had previously posed an endless threat to Him, had also disappeared without a trace, and the powerful equipment [Embrace of Netherfire], which could match His talent ability [Nether Lamp], had also fallen to the ground.
The blue and white flames at the center of its demonic claw had long since been extinguished, and the whole thing looked gray and dilapidated.
He is...
Won?
Yongye was a little confused for a moment.
Shouldn't Kusuon, represented by the Flaming Geoduck, be on the same side as Luo Yonghao, Lin Qinyue, and others?
Shouldn't the goal be to condemn Him to eternal death?
How come it seems that after unleashing a powerful attack with great momentum, instead of killing He Yongye, he defeated Luo Yonghao and Lin Qinyue?
Is that unspeakable ruler playing a spy game here?
Or was the attack that was launched earlier just a random, accidental event?
"Kusun seems to be asleep most of the time... Could it be that he's in a daze, which is why he sent down a projection and got involved in my affairs?"
A bold conjecture surfaced in Yongye's mind.
The more you examine the details, the more reliable it seems.
"...They can't communicate even on ordinary days, which is consistent with the state of being in a semi-conscious state during deep sleep..."
"I even paid special attention to this Soul King, and rushed over immediately after sensing his exact location..."
"If I had known things would turn out this way, I would have let it stay by Lin Qinyue's side!"
"Who knows, one day I might not be able to distinguish friend from foe and just kill this woman... She could be a relief then..."
"Seriously, what is all this nonsense..."
Yongye shook his head, stopping his wandering thoughts.
He gently flipped the golden ring broadsword in his hand, without lifting it, simply dragging it behind him.
He took slow, deliberate steps forward, causing the broadsword to whirr and swirl.
Although the direction is towards Lin Qinyue on the ground,
But Yongye's gaze never left Lin Qinxue for a moment.
as predicted,
When Yongye was less than five steps away from Lin Qinyue, Lin Qinxue finally drew the Azure Phoenix Sword!
Suddenly, a frosty wind arose, whipping her skirts and making them flutter wildly.
Yongye paused, feigning surprise, and said:
"how?"
"You want to kill me like your sister did?"
Lin Qinxue shook her head, giving a rather conflicted response:
"No, I just want to protect my sister."
"Sisterly affection, so touching." Yongye chuckled softly.
"According to your logic, shouldn't I let her go now, and let both of you go?"
Lin Qinxue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
The smile on Yongye's face vanished abruptly, replaced by a venomous ruthlessness in his eyes.
"Then what about her attacking me just now?"
Am I just unlucky?
"The Lin family will pay the price for my little sister's foolishness." Lin Qinxue glanced at Lin Qinyue, who was still unconscious, her tone as hard and sharp as ice.
"But the price must never be my little sister's life."
"If you say no, then I'll lose face!" Yongye continued walking forward slowly, looking relentless.
Lin Qinxue seemed a little anxious and spoke faster:
"I know what you need right now! If you're willing to let Lin Qinyue go, my entire Lin family is willing to lend you a hand!"
"Give me a hand?" Yongye stopped again, his face showing genuine curiosity.
"How exactly will you help? Tell me about it."
"I know that you no longer have a physical statue, and your anchor of faith is missing," Lin Qinxue said quickly.
"As long as you spare my little sister, the Lin family is willing to help you snatch a portion of believers from the Chosen One, Xu Xiao!"
"Snatch it from the Chosen One Xu Xiao?" Yongye murmured, repeating himself, about to nod in agreement.
But suddenly, memories of being hunted down by the gods in the divine realm surfaced in his mind.
This made Him immediately stop moving.
