The sudden incident turned the situation worse. Shi Yan was shaken directly. He had almost failed to maintain his power. He exhaled to calm down and suppress Hui’s soul.
At the critical moment, Yuan had used the black water from his soul to subdue Hui.
However, at this moment, Shi Yan didn’t trust Yuan even a bit. He considered the old man an enemy tougher than Hui. His body and soul were extremely tense.
Yuan had concealed his sinister conspiracy from the beginning. His mercy in front of Hui, his tender and warm smile: all were fake!
His flawless calculation was made to create this current situation. He made Shi Yan consume his energy greatly and use both the SS and the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower to join hands with him to subdue Hui. He had instigated Zi Yao to resist Hui’s host soul.
He wanted to keep Shi Yan and Hui busy to carry out his plan without any disturbance. Attacking Forefather Dragon Lizard was just his first step!
“I can’t believe you killed my Ancestor!” Forefather Dragon Lizard was frightened. He figured it out quickly. He knew everything they had done was for Yuan’s malignant plans.
Instantly, Forefather Dragon Lizard roared. His lizard body swelled up at a speed that naked eyes could see. The skin of his lizard body was scorching red like red iron, his energy boiling formidably. He opened his massive mouth and gushed lava like a waterfall towards Yuan’s body.
“Unfortunately, you are only at First Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm. You’re far behind Lizard,” Yuan’s smile didn’t cease.
His human body distorted for a while and disappeared in front of the thick burning lava.
Yuan’s continent-like body that looked dormant suddenly moved. Dark sea water flooded over from everywhere and covered the lava stream from the giant lizard’s mouth. At the same time, Forefather Dragon Lizard’s power was locked. He couldn’t urge his energy anymore.
Forefather Dragon Lizard turned into his real body and roared in the immense ocean. Lava rolled torrentially in his body and created a big, blazing lava pond.
Inside the red lava pond, he roared angrily and used his power to resist the ink-black sea water, struggling hard to resist Yuan.
As the immense sea water swarmed over, the lava pond was forcefully reduced by an extremely harsh power.
Yuan’s human clone disappeared and reappeared quietly by Shi Yan’s savage body by Hui’s snake head. He was still smiling and looking at the hot-tempered Shi Yan and his blood-red eyes. He spoke casually, “You better not stop me from attacking Dragon Lizard. As long as you’re distracted, Hui will erase that little girl’s soul. She will never recover.”
Shi Yan wanted to share his power to attack. Hearing Yuan, he pulled himself together immediately.
He knew that Yuan was speaking the truth. He could feel Zi Yao inside Hui’s soul and she was struggling pretty hard against Hui. At first, Zi Yao had the upper hand and she almost got the soul. However, when Yuan attacked Dragon Lizard, he had retreated part of his power.
Yuan’s suppression on Hui’s soul weakened, which made Zi Yao lose her advantage. They were in equal positions now. If he did what Yuan did and spared part of his energy to fight Yuan, Zi Yao would be erased shortly after.
Hui would never forgive Zi Yao for her backfire. As long as the others ceased the attack, it would destroy Zi Yao, the hidden danger, right away!
The situation changed because Yuan had reduced his energy at Hui. He had planned everything precisely and created this desired situation.
Shi Yan needed to boost his energy without any distraction. He had to suppress Hui and ensure that it wouldn’t counterattack. Yuan made use of Zi Yao’s soul struggling against Hui’s host soul to make time for himself to attack Dragon Lizard.
Even though Shi Yan knew his plan, he couldn’t do anything. Even though Hui knew that, its hands were tied too.
Because Shi Yan, Zi Yao, and Hui were controlling each other, if any of them got distracted, that person would be erased shortly.
“Shi Yan, it’s not that I’ve noticed you for only one or two days. I collected information about you since you got the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower. Haha, you don’t know that I even went to Desolate Territory because of you. Aren’t you curious why I’ve noticed you so early?”
Yuan’s real body was eroding Dragon Lizard’s lava pond. At the same time, his human clone was chatting with Shi Yan relaxedly.
——Actually, he was mumbling alone. At this moment, Shi Yan couldn’t talk to him; he could only listen to him passively.
“Because you’re different from anyone else!” Yuan’s smile finally ceased. “Sauron told me that he couldn’t see your string of fate when he observed you! Every creature has a string of fate! The members of the Seven Great Clans have it. Ordinary humans have it and even Absolute Beginning creatures like us have one! But you don’t have any string of fate!”
Yuan’s face turned dark and sinister, his voice cold. “I’m very curious. Who are you after all? Or what is your soul, your real body? You have Desolate’s clone souls and the black hole of Devour. I can’t imagine it. Your existence has broken rules of this world! Everything you’ve done, your power Upanishad, and your breakthrough haven’t been following common logic!”
Pausing for a long time, Yuan’s look drilled into Shi Yan as he hissed, “What are you, after all?”
Shi Yan’s Soul Consciousness had fused with extreme negative energies. Using his soul energy as the guide and the Blood Soul Sea as the container, it entered the outer layer of Hui’s soul, which blurred Hui’s consciousness and restrained its mobility.
It was the reason why he couldn’t talk to Yuan.
Still, he could hear all of what Yuan had been suspicious about. No string of fate, continuously breaking the rules of Nature… It seemed like his existence didn’t follow any rule in this world…
It was Shi Yan’s definition in Yuan’s head!
He vaguely guessed that all of these were because of Shi Yan’s special soul.
—— He came from another universe. Because his soul wasn’t born in this world, he wasn’t bound to any rule and he didn’t meet any restriction in developing himself!
Of course, it was just Sauron’s presumption. He didn’t know if it was true and he didn’t have any means to prove it to Yuan!
Yuan’s eyes were cold and dark. He observed Shi Yan for a while and then said, “I will know the reason. Soon.”
Then, he stopped minding Shi Yan and gathered energy to hit the lava pond created by Dragon Lizard’s power. He used the black sea water to hit the weak spots of Dragon Lizard’s defense.
“GRRROOOAAARRR!”
An indignant roar shaking the sky came from Shi Yan. The void above his head shattered into pieces. Since the cracks in the sky emerged, Yuan’s black ocean ran away. The sea level in the void lowered.
It was Shi Yan’s counterattack.
“No use. Let alone you can’t use all of your power now. Even if you are at your best condition, you will lose from fighting me.” Yuan’s mocking voice arose from every direction. “You think you are Desolate, the God of War from the Absolute Beginning Era? Unless that man has recovered fully, you alone can’t change the current situation.”
Then, he urged his power. The space Shi Yan had shattered mended magically. The sea water that had lowered was increasing rapidly once again.
However, he didn’t know that because of the lowering water level, the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower above Hui’s head had emerged and so did Shi Yan’s giant head.
Neptune and the others hiding far from them didn’t mind Shi Yan’s head. They only saw the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower!
Many of them knew the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower was related closely to the Absolute Beginning Gateway. And of course, they knew that the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower could produce the Absolute Beginning Original Symbol. When the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower emerged, they couldn’t control their greed. They made up their mind soon after.
—— They decided to join the battle!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Shadows moved like lightning strikes and crossed the dark sky, spaces, and the black ocean.
“Power Upanishad Symbol Tower!”
At this moment, Jia Ni of the Secret Pattern Tribe arched her brows, her beautiful face bright with amazing lights.
They saw the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower swayed slightly in the black sea and released the soul-soul-subduing power.
Underneath the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower, because of Shi Yan’s Star power Upanishad, countless beautiful lights emerged, which gave them a partial view of the twelve-headed snake. However, Yuan’s body was in a deeper place and they couldn’t see him attack Forefather Dragon Lizard.
“I want that Power Upanishad Symbol Tower!”
Neptune shouted and rode his clouds of billions of brutal souls, barging towards the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower.
As Yuan was devouring Forefather Dragon Lizard, he got enraged when he saw some Territory Ancestors go above his head to vie for the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower. He roared, “Get lost! All of you!”
He knew that the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower was the key to subdue Hui’s soul. Once the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower got a problem, Hui could get rid of it shortly after and erase Zi Yao’s soul. Then, it would furiously retaliate against him.
He had to maintain the current situation. No one was allowed to break this balanced situation. He could not let Shi Yan, Zi Yao, or Hui escape.
Thus, he had to take action now!
