Chapter 880: Chapter 627: Shapeshift Two Realms Flower_2

"Moreover, you are not in your original form, and naturally have your own matters to attend to. If you were to forcibly kill me, the price would be too high. We both know this very well. You would not act rashly before resolving your issues!"

"It seems we have no negotiations to discuss?"

Wang Yang smiled helplessly. The Ghost Master had seen through his identity, and his deductions were roughly correct. Without the Demon Clan fully appearing, Wang Yang could not expose himself, nor could he use the power of the Heart of Pangu!

The Ghost Master was right—completely obliterating him would come at a great cost. At the very least, Wang Yang would need to use the power of the Heart of Pangu!

And the Heart of Pangu was currently absorbing the celestial Dao Origin Force, not yet fully assimilated. Using its power recklessly would delay its consumption of the celestial Dao Origin Force!

Once the Heart of Pangu’s support was lost, it would be very difficult for Wang Yang to kill the peak existences of the Demon Clan in the future!

Wang Yang’s purpose in coming to this Square World was to prevent the Demon Clan from devouring the world’s Primordial Force, not to duel with the Ghost Master to the death!

Wang Yang was very clear on this point!

He had initially planned to intimidate the Ghost Master as a bargaining chip for negotiations, but it now seemed that the Ghost Master was not falling for it!

"Our negotiations might have to wait until Lingyu awakens and makes a choice!"

"Very well! It’s a deal!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Yang had no further hesitation. He leaped and jumped into the River Styx!

The Water of River Styx was icy and bone-chilling. As soon as Wang Yang entered, he felt a piercing cold, as if he were about to be frozen.

At the same time, the flow of blood in his body slowed drastically, even his heartbeat was greatly affected.

A force of the Laws of Death formed, pressing down on him, devouring Wang Yang’s vitality, flesh, and bones.

"Yin Fish! Underworld!"

With a thought, the black Yin Fish of the Yin Yang Fish surrounded his body, instantly completing a Zhou Tian cycle, repelling all the Power of Death!

With a burst of strength from his legs, Wang Yang’s figure shot forward, heading towards the bottom of the River Styx!

But just as he sped up, Wang Yang suddenly spun and dodged to the right!

In the spot where Wang Yang had been advancing, a Ghost Fish, the size of a palm, all bones without any flesh, snapped at him.

The Water of River Styx was too murky, and it blocked perception. His vision extended only about a meter around him. If not for the Yin Fish expanding his sight range, Wang Yang might have had a chunk of flesh bitten off by the Ghost Fish!

The creatures in the River Styx were unlike those in the outside world, especially under the suppression of the River Styx Law. Once injured, it was hard to heal.

Moreover, the scent of blood would attract all the creatures within the River Styx!

The Ghost Fish missed its target. Its gaze instantly locked on Wang Yang, its face hideous, its mouth opening, emitting waves of ghostly wails.

"Not good!"

Wang Yang mentally exclaimed. The Ghost Fish wasn’t expressing anger; it was summoning its school!

Sure enough, as soon as the ghostly wails ended, the water around them surged, the sound of flowing water echoing from all directions.

"Water Pit! Great River Flow!"

The Zhou Tian Bagua Technique erupted within Wang Yang. His hands rapidly formed seals. Around Wang Yang, the water flow reversed, forming a massive whirlpool!

Within the whirlpool, a powerful suction force emerged, swallowing the Ghost Fish completely. Wang Yang took this opportunity to dash downward!

The Ghost Fish roared and tried to stop him, but the suction force of the water whirlpool was too tyrannical, forcibly dragging the incoming Ghost Fish into its depths!

With the experience of dealing with the Ghost Fish, Wang Yang directly expanded the Water Pit Domain. Whirlpools dotted the surrounding waters. Any creature in the River Styx that got close would be completely devoured!

In the murky River Styx water, Wang Yang didn’t know how long he had been diving until his feet finally touched the ground, signaling he had reached the bottom of the River Styx.

The bottom of the River Styx was extremely dark, devoid of any light. In such conditions, finding the Two Realms Flower was like searching for a needle in a haystack!

"Rumble!"

Just as Wang Yang was troubled by this, a rumble erupted from the void not far away, immediately drawing Wang Yang’s gaze.

From the source of the sound came heavy, resonant footsteps. Four flames, as green as ghost fires, jumped, like four lanterns burning in the dark void.

"Those who trespass into the River Styx! Die!"

A very old, hoarse voice rang out, as if it hadn’t spoken in a long time. However, to Wang Yang, it sounded harsh, filled with chilling killing intent!

Wang Yang’s eyes shot sharp gleams, the Li Fire Domain expanded, dispelling the darkness, finally allowing him to see the newcomer clearly!

A colossal Dragon Turtle stepped forward. A giant serpent coiled around its body, with hellfire burning in its pupils, exuding a menacing aura.

Wang Yang couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile, without a hint of fear. The presence of a guardian Xuanwu indicated that the Two Realms Flower was indeed nearby!

In the depths of the River Styx, no creatures could survive, except for Ghost Fish born over time. There was no reason for a Xuanwu to exist this long, even if it was among the longest-lived Divine Beasts of the Demon Race!

The Xuanwu’s appearance meant it existed since the birth of the Two Realms Flower, surviving in the River Styx by relying on its aura!

Once the Two Realms Flower was plucked, the Xuanwu, deprived of its protective aura, would be annihilated by the River Styx Law. So the Xuanwu was indeed the guardian of the River Styx, but more precisely, the guardian of the Two Realms Flower!

"It seems the Two Realms Flower is nearby. Lead the way, and I can promise to take you out of the River Styx!"

Wang Yang pointed at the Xuanwu, speaking in a deep voice, with an irrefutable tone!

"Hehe, a mere Human, and you wish to take me out?"

The Xuanwu seemed lonely after millennia, not launching an immediate attack. Instead, it showed interest in Wang Yang’s words, though it did not believe them!

"I naturally have a way to counter the River Styx Law. Do you think I would have reached the bottom here otherwise?"

Wang Yang was in no hurry, smiling as he explained. The Xuanwu seemed to find some reason in his words, unable to rebut it and fell silent for a moment.

"The Two Realms Flower has already been consumed by me! Leave now!"

After a while, the Xuanwu slowly said.

Hearing this, Wang Yang’s lips curled into a mocking smile; his earlier conjecture had some errors!

The Xuanwu was not the guardian of the Two Realms Flower. The River Styx water could not give birth to other creatures, nor allow them to exist, be they living beings from the World of the Living or spirits from the Underworld!

With just a few words, Wang Yang tested the authenticity of the Xuanwu. This imposing Xuanwu was the shapeshifted spirit born from the Two Realms Flower!

Its aura was merely a front to intimidate Wang Yang. Pretending to have the power to ignore the River Styx Law, Wang Yang induced fear in the Xuanwu, making it claim the flower was gone, urging him to leave!

"Did you not hear what I said?"

Seeing Wang Yang sneer in place, the Xuanwu roared, the water of the River Styx surged, bearing down upon Wang Yang!

"Two Realms Flower Spirit, reveal yourself!"

With a loud shout, Wang Yang stomped fiercely, making the River Styx floor shake. A massive mountain pressed down, and the water retreated to the sides wherever it passed!

"Earth Kun! Nine Palace Mountain!"

The space around the Xuanwu was filled with immense gravity, immobilizing its body!

"Escape!"

In a moment of crisis, the Xuanwu’s body exploded into a stream of light, trying to merge into the void!

Wang Yang sneered coldly, well-prepared; his Water Pit Domain had been in place for a long time, sealing off the surrounding void!

The Two Realms Flower Spirit tried to merge into the water whirlpool, but Wang Yang’s five fingers grabbed, seizing it in his palm!

"Still trying to run?"

"Let me go!"

In Wang Yang’s hand, the Two Realms Flower Spirit struggled violently but could not break free from Wang Yang’s grip.

Though it had taken shape, the Two Realms Flower Spirit could not cultivate. The Xuanwu it had transformed into was a mere facade!

"Come with me, you have your destiny!"

Wang Yang sighed. The Two Realms Flower had gained intelligence, perhaps in a thousand years, it could cultivate and break free from the River Styx Law!

But Wang Yang could not wait that long. Lingyu’s situation was critical!

The Two Realms Flower must fulfill its destiny!
