Chapter 458: Chapter 304: United

Ghosts transform other creatures into their own kind in hundreds and thousands of ways, targeting different species, different levels of cultivation, different constitutions, and even different personalities.

Some ghostifications occur in secret, and the entire process can take years, during which the victim is completely unaware of their abnormality.

From consciousness to body.

Others are simple and brutal, forcibly infusing massive "Life Origin" into their victims, allowing it to multiply and flourish within their bodies.

From body to consciousness.

The transformation Xu Yuan underwent belonged to the latter category.

Forcibly transforming from a position of superiority.

His low level of cultivation meant he was unable to resist the Life Origin’s alteration of his body at first, but fortunately, the presence of the Ink Snake Demon Crystal allowed him to temporarily maintain his human consciousness.

But a ghost is a ghost, after all.

Every time he used the ghost’s body to heal itself, every time he transformed Life Origin into usable Origin Qi, and even every time he utilized the Black Death Bacterial Armor, the ghostification process from body to consciousness accelerated.

When it reached a critical point, the struggle between the original consciousness and the ghost’s instincts would plunge the consciousness into a chaotic state.

Of course, this struggle was merely a transition.

Because ghostification is irreversible.

Ten thousand years ago, in a grand era brimming with prodigies, not a single person was able to overcome a ghost’s instincts at this stage.

Although no one defeated a ghost’s instincts, many cultivators chose to have their friends strike them down in their final moments.

The chaos of consciousness makes those being transformed almost incapable of resistance at this point, and thus it is the most vulnerable time for a being to transition to a ghost.

However, it’s different with an external guide.

The sudden explosion of sound beside Xu Yuan’s ear made his consciousness snap into focus, and a glimmer of lucidity appeared in his blood-red eyes.

Luo Xiran...

Why would Luo Xiran’s voice be here?

As a fellow ghost, why can’t he sense her?

The moment human consciousness held sway over the body, many thoughts flashed through Xu Yuan’s mind. However, these thoughts were immediately suppressed when he saw the Barbarian King before him, his eyes filled with uncertainty and doubt.

Wasn’t this Barbarian King half-dead just a moment ago?

Why has his aura suddenly become so eerie?

In the fleeting moments of thought,

An endless abyss of blood-red mist had spread from all directions, enveloping the entire cave, and Luo Xiran’s voice rang out again beside Xu Yuan’s ear:

"Xu Changtian, what are you dazed for? Can’t you see he’s about to break through? I’m borrowing your abyss for a moment, kill him now!"

"...." Xu Yuan felt his brain freeze.

The Barbarian King, breaking through?

No, this isn’t right...

As a transmigrator, shouldn’t he be the one to break through to comprehend the Heavenly Gate Sword Intent during battle, slaying the Barbarian King first, then Luo Xiran?

And what realm does one break into from halfway to Saint level again?

"......"

Feeling the connection with the blood mist abyss, Xu Yuan immediately knew he could once again use Luo Xiran’s abyss to deploy his Seductive God Dao Domain.

His thoughts may not have been clear, but Xu Yuan’s body had already moved back a step, his boots tracing an arc on the ground, with the Qingyu Sword blade immediately covered in Blood Ink.

At the same time, enchanting melodies lingered, with numerous enticing female figures beginning to appear faintly visible within the blood mist.

The Seductive God Dao Domain had quietly unfolded.

The concept of the Seductive God within would produce different visions according to the target.

In the next instant,

Xu Yuan’s hand drew a beautiful splash-ink arc in the air with the tip of the Qingyu Sword, aiming for Chi Su’s neck.

"Buzz——"

Amid the loud ringing of the sword, Chi Su just stood there calmly, watching as the sword swung at him, pure Origin Qi forming a shield around his body, making him look like a celestial being!

But the expected collision never happened.

Because Xu Yuan didn’t use the Blood Ink Sword Technique but instead used Step Void Slash.

He was making his escape.

"...." Luo Xiran.

"...." Chi Su.

Watching the vanishing figure in the blood robe, the Barbarian King didn’t bother to chase after him and instead sat down directly at the bottom of the cave.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Semi-Saint level; under normal circumstances, it would take another year and a half to break through naturally.

This breakthrough, precipitated by the brink of life and death, was unexpected but also an opportunity in crisis.

And since it was an opportunity, he must grasp it firmly.

For those who worshiped him as a god were still waiting for him in dire straits...

.....

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the abyss to deploy the Seductive God Dao Domain, the Step Void Slash covered nearly double the usual distance.

In a flash, Xu Yuan had disappeared from the cave, not looking back as he ran toward the location of Li Qingyan and Bai Muxi.

At that moment, the tunnels within the Blood Demon Lair were already filled with the abyss of the ghosts.

Strengthened by the abyss, Xu Yuan’s ghostly body moved freely through it, using the costly Step Void Slash to rapidly traverse the distance.

The blood-red figure almost instantly escaped several miles away.

"Xu Changtian, what are you doing?!!" Luo Xiran’s exasperated voice once again rang out in Xu Yuan’s ear as he dashed away: "Go back! Kill him!!"

Hearing this voice, without a second thought, Xu Yuan replied:

"Shut up, stop bothering me."

"....."

Luo Xiran, gasping for breath, spoke earnestly, "Changtian, he hasn’t broken through to Saint level yet. If you don’t kill him now, once he completes his breakthrough, we’re all going to die."

"......."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan fell silent.
