Chapter 340 Possession?
Chapter 340 Possession?
"Use me as a key?"
Chen Yifan scoffed inwardly.
He had already planned it all out. The moment he got the book, he activated the [Void Travel] technique he had just stolen from Wang Qingyun and made a quick getaway.
These idiots, keep playing around here.
However, the moment his fingers touched the cover of "Starry Sky Bible", something unexpected happened!
hum!
A terrifying surge of spiritual energy, as vast as a collapsing starry sea, gave him no time to react and poured into his sea of consciousness with overwhelming force!
This force was so immense that Chen Yifan felt as if an entire sun had been stuffed into his head!
"Hold!"
Chen Yifan groaned, feeling as if his head was about to explode.
The activation of the [Void Travel] skill was immediately interrupted by this violent energy.
He tried to let go, but found that his palms were as if welded to the book cover, and he couldn't break free at all!
At the same time, the black worm emitted a sharp hiss.
Those parasitized puppet assassins lost the last shred of human reason in their eyes, turning into pure killing machines.
Energy cannons, plasma blades, distorted claws, corrosive venom...
Dozens of attacks erupted at the same time, weaving together into an impenetrable net of death, completely enveloping Chen Yifan and the platform beneath his feet!
Ahead lies the backlash of the sacred texts, behind lies an ambush by assassins!
In an instant, Chen Yifan found himself in the most dangerous predicament of his career!
"You want me dead? You don't deserve it!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Yifan's ruthlessness was fully unleashed.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a suppressed roar.
Within his sea of consciousness, the newly formed external Daoist Heart Palace was running rampant with unprecedented power!
His immense spiritual power, now unreserved, burst forth from his body, instantly forming a semi-transparent white jade palace phantom around him, completely enveloping him!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The next second, countless attacks slammed into the palace phantom.
The palace phantom shook violently, and countless fine cracks appeared on its surface at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.
Within his body, the spiritual torrent from the "Starry Sky Codex" was frantically assaulting and eroding his will, attempting to completely overwhelm and assimilate his soul.
Chen Yifan felt as if his soul had been thrown into a meat grinder.
Every second he endured excruciating pain as if pierced by thousands of steel needles, and blood seeped uncontrollably from his seven orifices.
The black worm watched this scene and emitted an extremely smug mental fluctuation.
"Struggle! Within the sacred texts dwells the remnant soul of an ancient god. Before him, all your resistance is futile! Soon, you! Along with the sacred texts in your hands, will fall into the hands of the great divine religion!"
Its gaze fell on the holy book in Chen Yifan's hand, filled with greed and calculation.
All of this was part of its plan.
It had long known through ancient documents that this sacred text contained the remnant soul of an ancient deity, and anyone who tried to forcibly seize it would suffer the most violent backlash.
Its purpose is to use Chen Yifan to lure out the remnant soul of the ancient god, and then reap the benefits.
In its eyes, Chen Yifan was already trapped and was doomed to die!
At this moment, Chen Yifan's clothes were torn and he was covered in blood, but he still clung tightly to the ancient book, and the madness in his eyes grew even stronger.
Excruciating pain!
Indescribable, excruciating pain!
Chen Yifan felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, while ten thousand ants were gnawing at him.
Outside, the puppet assassins attacked wave after wave, each impact causing the palace phantom surrounding him to tremble violently, the cracks widening as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Inside, the spiritual torrent from the "Starry Sky Codex" was even more domineering, like a surging galaxy, washing over every corner of his sea of consciousness, trying to completely submerge his consciousness.
"Damn it...we've gone too far..."
Chen Yifan gritted his teeth, and blood dripped continuously from the corner of his mouth.
He could feel his mental energy being consumed at an alarming rate.
Each time the palace's illusory image repairs a crack, it requires an enormous amount of power.
The torrent of spirit that surged into his mind was endless, carrying an ancient, proud, and unquestionable will, determined to completely erase him and replace him.
If this continues, he will be attacked from both inside and outside within ten seconds, exhausting all his strength, and then torn to pieces.
At this critical moment between life and death, Chen Yifan captured an extremely clear consciousness, imbued with supreme majesty, within that raging torrent of consciousness!
"So many years... Finally... Finally, I have a healthy body..."
"Junior, give up resisting. To become the vessel for my descent is your highest honor!"
A blurry figure, formed from endless starlight, slowly emerged from the torrent of spirits, carrying an arrogant air of looking down on all living beings, and rushed straight towards Chen Yifan's soul origin!
Possession!
These two words exploded in Chen Yifan's mind instantly.
After all that, it turns out there's an old ghost hiding in this book, trying to find an unlucky soul to be resurrected!
Grass!
This is a big problem.
Fighting an ancient monster who has lived for countless years in my own sea of consciousness, with the opponent fighting on home turf, my own cultivation level is simply not enough.
Once he succeeds, my body, memories, and even my inner palace will become someone else's spoils.
No! Absolutely not!
Chen Yifan's mind raced amidst the excruciating pain.
What should I do?
There was no way to run away; my hand was still stuck to the book.
Even if you fight, you can't beat them; their total mental strength is many times greater than yours.
Are we just going to accept defeat like this?
Do not!
A hint of madness flashed in Chen Yifan's eyes.
Since I can't beat you on my turf...
What if...we go to a different place?
An extremely crazy idea took shape in his mind.
He recalled his own heretical mind palace.
That white jade palace was the source of all his power and the absolute core of his spiritual world.
Although it was just beginning to take shape, it was entirely his own "domain"!
Rather than passively taking a beating in one's own mind and letting the other party run rampant, it's better to... let the wolf into the house!
Drag this old devil, along with his immense spiritual energy, into my heart!
Close the door! Unleash the dogs!
This decision is too crazy. If it fails, his heart palace will be instantly burst open, and his soul will be annihilated on the spot.
But given the current situation, there is no other way to go.
I'm taking the gamble!
"Trying to possess me?" Chen Yifan roared silently in his heart. "I'll make sure you never leave here alive!"
Instead of continuing to resist the invasion of that spiritual torrent, he completely abandoned all defenses!
Not only that, he also frantically activated his external path heart palace, generating an unimaginably huge suction force in his sea of consciousness, like a bottomless black hole, actively pulling towards that illusory figure in the imperial robe and that sea of stars!
"Um?"
The ancient consciousness was clearly taken aback by Chen Yifan's unexpected move and was slightly stunned.
Throughout his long life, he had seen countless powerful figures who tried to resist him, but this was the first one to open his soul core and invite him in like this.
"Foolish junior, since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"
