Chapter 1936: Thunder Beast Evil Spirit
Chapter 1936: Chapter 1936: Thunder Beast Evil Spirit
The entire Thunder Light Cave Mansion was filled with a sea of blue lightning.
In the center, only Murong Lingyun and Su Cheng stood surrounded by roaring thunder; the demonic aura was faintly visible, elusive to the naked eye.
A few dozen steps further, the situation changed dramatically.
Amidst the dense lightning, a mass of demonic aura, black as ink, was terrifying beyond words.
Xiao Yi’s body was completely enveloped in the demonic aura.
Behind him, Murong Lingyun and the others’ expressions changed.
"Told him not to go forward, but he wouldn’t listen. Now he’s in trouble," Murong Lingyun was both angry and frustrated.
Su Cheng frowned, "I observed that he doesn’t seem like a rash individual."
"The fact that he could surpass us and move forward again proves his strength is greater than ours."
Murong Lingyun interrupted, "No matter how strong, what’s the use if his brain doesn’t work?"
"I, Seven Killings Lingyun, embarrassingly lost to this guy a few days ago. It’s truly disgraceful."
Just then.
A shout from the front, "Break."
The demonic aura surrounding Xiao Yi instantly dispersed.
Xiao Yi took a few steps forward, his brows tightly knit.
How could there be such a dense demonic aura in the Thunder Light Cave Mansion?
Moreover, the demonic aura just now did not invade his body, only bound him from the outside.
If it had entered his body, the Ice Phoenix Sword would have absorbed it directly, unable to hinder his steps at all.
The demonic aura did not penetrate his body but only confined externally; as the aura grew denser, the mere presence was enough to affect a martial artist’s mind.
"What’s going on?" Xiao Yi frowned silently.
This Thunder Light Cave Mansion was increasingly making him uneasy.
However, it was still within his tolerance level. Just now, he relied on his Poison Power to forcibly disperse the evil power.
Ahead, no more than a dozen steps away, was the end.
There, at the end, floated an object resembling an inner core, gleaming with Thunder Light.
"Thunder Light Relics," Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
Should he advance further, the aura of lightning would become even more terrifying; who knows to what extent the mysteriously emerging demonic aura would rise.
Xiao Yi also didn’t know if he could withstand the advance.
If truly trapped, with the demonic aura’s intensity far exceeding his endurance, he would have no way back.
"I’ll risk it," Xiao Yi gritted his teeth.
The treasures of the Eighteen Cave Mansions, he must acquire them.
In his inner Small World, there still remained residual Soul Power.
Previously, in slaughtering those hundreds of martial artists and that middle-aged man, he exhausted more than ninety-nine percent of his Soul Power.
Yet, some remained.
If he moved quickly enough to seize the Thunder Light Relics and retreat immediately, using the residual Soul Power to withstand, there should be a chance.
Having thought this, Xiao Yi’s eyes hardened.
Whoosh... His figure transformed into a black streak, leaping forward.
The dozen-step distance was merely an instant for him.
Whoosh... With a flash, Xiao Yi snatched up the Thunder Light Relics, his eyes lighting up with joy, "Got it."
Immediately, he stepped back.
But just as he was about to retreat, a sinister laugh suddenly exploded in his mind.
"Jie jie."
A gigantic creature, at some unknown point, had formed ahead of him.
"Human greed truly knows no bounds, enough to push you all to risk everything."
"What is that?" Xiao Yi’s heart skipped a beat.
A mere meter away, at the very end of the cave mansion, appeared a giant beast cloaked in lightning.
"Thunder Beast?" Xiao Yi’s eyes widened in shock.
"No."
It wasn’t a real Thunder Beast, merely an illusion.
"Thunder Beast Spirit?"
In that moment, Xiao Yi was immobilized.
A wave of ancient, thunderous, evil breath came rushing from the gigantic beast before him.
The entire Thunder Beast Spirit was bathed in lightning, but within it contained an extremely dense Evil Power.
The distance between Xiao Yi and the giant beast was just an arm’s length away.
Xiao Yi could even distinctly see the beast’s ferocious face right before him.
So savage, evil, terrifying.
This was already a Thunder Beast Evil Spirit.
Just witnessing it from such a close distance, Xiao Yi felt his entire body shiver uncontrollably, a chill rising in his heart.
The Thunder Light Relics in his hand had already flown out, merging into the Thunder Beast Evil Spirit.
With Xiao Yi ensnared by the demonic aura.
But the demonic aura still did not invade his body but swirled around externally.
Bang...
The Poison Power within Xiao Yi surged out all at once.
A booming burst, and the evil power enveloping him dissipated entirely.
Run!
This was Xiao Yi’s first thought.
The moment the evil power dissipated and his body regained freedom, Xiao Yi quickly retreated.
Having exhausted his Poison Power to dispel the evil power, he was now powerless, thus he withdrew immediately.
"Think you can run?" A sinister voice emanated from the Thunder Beast Spirit.
Boom... boom... boom...
The entire Thunder Light Cave Mansion was ravished by increasingly rampant lightning.
The once barely visible demonic aura suddenly erupted into a colossal wave of malevolent energy.
Xiao Yi’s figure was instantly trapped.
The monstrous Thunder Beast’s wicked, massive eyes stared down at Xiao Yi intently.
"Think you can run? Jie jie, I’ve waited long for greedy humans like you to enter. You’re not getting away."
"But don’t worry, I won’t kill you."
"Demonic aura can indeed invade your bodies, turning you into Evil Cultivators."
"But Evil Cultivators, in the end, will die."
"I’ll use the Evil Power to refine you into demonic puppets, to accompany me forever in this ancient cave mansion... forever and ever."
The massive Thunder Beast Spirit’s face was full of madness.
Xiao Yi’s pupils constricted; once turned into a demonic puppet, one would be neither living nor dead, but a mere walking corpse.
Mind and Spiritual Sense would be shackled by the Evil Dao.
That would be a fate worse than death.
In the distance, Murong Lingyun and Su Cheng’s faces changed drastically upon hearing these sinister and insane words.
"Could it be we’ve entered the lair of Evil Cultivators?" Murong Lingyun swallowed nervously.
Su Cheng’s gaze was icy, but his face couldn’t hide his fear.
On Xiao Yi’s side, his eyes hardened as he faced the giant Thunder Beast.
"Now’s the time, Ice Storm Devouring Soul."
Striking unexpectedly amidst the madness, then swiftly fleeing.
Boom...
The entire Thunder Light Cave Mansion turned abruptly white.
Lightning and demonic aura instantly froze.
Extreme Cold Ice Storm surged toward the giant beast.
The giant beast’s face turned cold, a more terrifying lightning surge erupted from within.
The soul-powered Extreme Cold Ice Storm shattered instantly under the lightning.
Then the relentless lightning crashed heavily onto Xiao Yi.
"Pfft." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.
The lightning did not cease, decimating everything in its path.
The destructive force swept through.
Su Cheng and Murong Lingyun were directly blasted out of the cave mansion, their fate uncertain.
"The entire Thunder Light Dangerous Land is under my thunderous control; you little mice won’t escape."
The Thunder Beast Evil Spirit laughed coldly, descending before Xiao Yi.
"First, I’ll refine you into an Evil Dao puppet," The Thunder Beast Evil Spirit’s sinister gaze seemed ready to devour Xiao Yi whole.
Xiao Yi was terrified, yet his hands reacted swiftly.
From his fingertips, a stream of primordial power flowed, triggering the Universe Ring.
The only thing that could save him now was the treasures within the Universe Ring.
And the first thing Xiao Yi thought of was those Beast Hands and Beast Feet.
However, before he could even summon the Beast Hands and Beast Feet, a sharp sword flew out of the Universe Ring on its own.
The sword was entirely black.
The sword had no edge.
But upon its emergence, the Thunder Beast Evil Spirit retreated hastily.
On its sinister face, there appeared an expression of fear.
Xiao Yi instantly realized, gripping the sword with one hand.
It was the God Slaying Sword he had barely ever used.
