Chapter 638: Chapter 409: Seizing the Body

As his words fell, Xu Yuan’s peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of dark absence of any light in the depths of the cave.

Instinctively glancing back, before he could react, that patch of darkness had already swept across the soles of his feet like a flash, rapidly spreading toward the deeper parts of the cave!

For a moment, his vision blurred and then, coming back to his senses, the world around him had already changed.

The cramped underground cave had disappeared, and the surrounding space expanded a hundredfold under the cover of darkness.

Furrowing his brow and looking up, once he had a clear view of his surroundings, various negative emotions began to spread within Xu Yuan’s heart.

Panic, fear, and involuntary, slight trembling in his body.

The vast dark space before him was shrouded in an indescribable mist, with countless suspended corpses handing like willow branches, layered upon one another, vast like a sea of smoke, all the way to the edge of his vision,

And there,

Stood a blurred shadow as towering as the sky.

Like an eternal existence, in its presence, all things seemed as insignificant as the ants beneath one’s feet.

"Dah...."

Xu Yuan subconsciously took half a step back, his footsteps exceptionally clear in the pitch-black space.

At that moment, two crisp voices almost simultaneously rang out.

"Calm your heart."

"Condense your spirit."

The spreading cowardice and panic in his heart suddenly halted, as two streams of coolness penetrated his heart, quickly dispelling the chaotic and disordered thoughts.

Xu Yuan concentrated his mind and cursed softly in his heart.

Damn it, fell for it.

This Yin Ghost was so powerful that it could directly affect the spiritual intelligence of someone in the Primordial Realm!

Glancing sideways toward where the voices had come from, the radiant golden eyes of the two girls shone like the morning sun in this dark space.

Tsk, it seems even the Saint Level Ghost’s mischief can’t affect the Yantian Art.

"If you cringe without a fight, I would really look down on you, you know~"

Under his gaze, Tian Ye’s voice was playful and frivolous, not the least bit serious: "But seeing that you, Xu Yuan, are not immune to the Yin Ghost’s mischief, I’ll forgive you this time."

Xu Yuan regained his composure and rolled his eyes:

"You don’t have to forgive me."

Tian Ye walked over with a smile, her exquisite features unmarred by urgency:

"No, I was just joking before, we are all bound by the same lock of life. Whatever you do, Tian Ye will forgive you...."

"You could talk less of such nonsense."

Tianyan appeared instantaneously beside Xu Yuan, her cold voice interrupting the enchantress: "This Ghost Domain has already sealed off all the exits around us."

Tian Ye was not angry, her golden eyes surveying the surroundings:

"Hmm... indeed, I can’t seem to find a way out, but speaking of which, this is my first time entering the Ghost Domain of a Saint Level Ghost. I never expected the descriptions in the ancient texts to be true."

"Descriptions?" Xu Yuan glanced at Tian Ye as she stepped closer.

Tian Ye pointed toward the countless willow strands hanging from the dark dome above and said with a curved smile:

"A high-level Yin Ghost’s Domain can corrode and transform reality. These willow strands and corpses you see are not illusions, nor are they phantom images constructed out of Origin Qi, but rather things created out of nothing by the erosion of this Ghost Domain. If you don’t believe me, take a look at the willow strands on your hand."

"...."

Xu Yuan paused for a moment, instinctively glancing at the slender willow strand that was entangling his entire right arm along with the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed.

His will-spirit wrapped around it, and he could immediately feel its pulsation and the vitality within.

His scalp suddenly tingled.

Although this world possessed the supernatural, the logic of all things followed the fundamental principle of conservation of energy, and no one could artificially create living life.

And yet this Saint Level Ghost’s Domain could break this principle?

Why?

How could it be?

Thousands of questions flickered through his mind, but it was clearly not the time to delve into the principles behind it.

The situation before him was already the greatest crisis he and Tianyan had faced since entering the Illusionary Realm.

Saint Level Ghost.

"Xu Yuan...."

Tianyan’s voice came softly from the side, looking at the gigantic, blurred tree shadow in the mist: "What do we do now?"

Xu Yuan was rendered silent by the question.

What do we do now?

Good question.

There were three of them in the Primordial Realm, two of them half-crippled and one nearly fully crippled, to face a Saint Level Ghost Willow?

No hope left, just wait for death.

Internally voicing his resignation, Xu Yuan still asked calmly, "Tian Ye, how long would it take for a Saint from Jiatiange to get here?"

Tian Ye pondered with her finger tapping her cheek, providing an answer after a moment’s thought:

"Hmm... I disappeared near the Yin Ghost Forest, so they would probably start searching from there in all directions. This place isn’t too far from the Yin Ghost Forest; if we’re lucky, it may take less than half an hour, if not.... it might take as long as half a day."

Great, it seems the Saints of Jiatiange are not to be relied on.

His spirits sinking once more, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the dark fog surrounding them: "This Ghost Willow is for now digesting Xia Qing and that Mortal Transcendence Yin Ghost, using the Ghost Domain probably just to trap us...."

"As Tianyan has already said, you could talk less nonsense."

Tian Ye blandly interrupted Xu Yuan’s narration, stating matter-of-factly, "Our three conditions are all sub-optimal, and even if we were at our full strength, we wouldn’t be able to match this Ghost Willow. It’s keeping us because it’s busy with other things."

As she spoke, Tian Ye narrowed her golden eyes and whispered:

"If you, Xu Yuan, have a plan, then don’t beat around the bush with things that are obvious to everyone."
