Chapter 640: Chapter 409: Seizing the Body_3

As Xu Yuan was recounting, Tianyan and Tian Ye suddenly turned their gazes,

almost simultaneously looking in the direction of a hazy mist.

Xu Yuan noticed but, without the Yantian Art, he could not see through the dark mist and slightly frowned:

"What’s happening over there?"

After a few moments of silence, Tianyan bit her lip, turned her head, and her voice almost seemed to seep from between her lips:

"Xu Yuan,

"The Ghost Domain, has been unlocked by the Ghost Willow....."

"....."

Upon hearing this news, Xu Yuan’s eyes instantly brightened.

It seemed that the Saint Level Ghost Willow really could communicate, even overhearing the conversation between the three of them.

"Is this... betting correctly?"

A hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, Xu Yuan looked towards the looming shadow in the mist and said in a low voice, "Since it’s unlocked, that means it agrees. Tianyan, you should leave quickly."

"Xu Yuan...."

"Stop playing the tragedy here."

Xu Yuan turned away, slightly impatient, waving his hand: "Even comic books aren’t as long-winded as you. Besides, perishing here in this great calamity suits Jiatiange’s wishes, doesn’t it, Saintess?"

The hazy black fog swirled, and the skeleton-like willow branches swayed gently in the wind,

looking at the man’s back before them and then at the towering, hazy giant tree.

An indescribable bitterness welled up from her heart, and Tianyan, trembling, took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened them again,

there was no longer any complexity in those golden pupils.

All that remained was a touch of indifferent divinity.

She looked at him, her youthful voice crisp and detached:

"I’ll take my leave first."

"....."

Xu Yuan did not turn around, merely curling the corner of his lips.

This was not the first time he had seen her in this divine state.

He had once thought that after completely subduing the Washboard Saintess, he’d have her role-play in this manner just once, to see what a Fairy casting off divinity would look like.

He wondered whether he would still have the chance after this trip....

Tianyan left, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

In the vast darkness, it seemed as though only he and Tian Ye remained.

Tian Ye stared with interest in the direction Tianyan had left and suddenly said with a laugh:

"It seems... she really is Tianyan from 20,000 years later, even mastering the nature of divine impassiveness."

"You leave too."

"What?"

"I said, you’re also a hinderance here, hurry up and leave."

"....."

Tian Ye’s expression was slightly odd as she blinked, "Are you... worried about me?"

"Are you an idiot?"

Xu Yuan sighed and pointed to the location of his Sea of Consciousness.

Bound by the Lock of Life together.

If the Ghost Willow were to attack Tian Ye and kill her, the person would instantly become an idiot, and there would be no talk of negotiation or threat.

Tian Ye hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"But if something happens to you, on my side...."

"You can untie it," Xu Yuan thought, without hesitation: "Once it’s untied, we’ll have nothing to do with each other."

"Tsk...."

Tian Ye smacked her lips without any image, her enchanting features showing a hint of disdain: "Ah~ this feeling of entrusting your fate to someone else is really unpleasant."

As she spoke,

Tian Ye suddenly changed her expression, closed in on Xu Yuan, hooked her arms around his neck, and whispered temptingly in his ear with a smile:

"You... you’re planning to control the Ghost Willow using the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, right? I can feel the connection between you and the seed."

"....." Xu Yuan was slightly surprised.

Tian Ye beamed a smile and whispered:

"Although I don’t know why, I just can sense it.

"Don’t disappoint Tian Ye, Brother Xu Yuan~ you must survive, otherwise, it’s likely that most of Tianyan will end up in my hands, oh."

As the words ended, Xu Yuan felt a lightness come over him, accompanied by a frivolous and seductive laugh, Tian Ye also disappeared on the spot.

"....."

Felling the atmosphere around him become utterly still, Xu Yuan once again gripped the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed in his hand, the only thing that could give him some sense of security.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan took a deep breath and spoke clearly:

"Let’s talk, what do you want?"

"....."

The sound of the wind wailed mournfully, as the hanging corpses clattered, the noise echoing within the indescribable mist, eerily quiet.

There was no response.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan did not hesitate, his right hand immediately clenched tight, and with the gentle sway of willow branches, petals of cherry blossoms drifted down calmly.

He was ready to directly destroy part of the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed:

"Ghost Willow, if you don’t show yourself, I will..."

Thud.

Before he could finish his sentence,

a muffled sound of something heavy falling came from Xu Yuan’s right side.

Glancing sideways,

Xu Yuan saw a hand at his feet.

A hand, gripping the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed.

Slowly turning his gaze back to his own right arm, it was already empty.

Whoosh...

Is this the gap between the Primordial and a Saint?

Xu Yuan let out a quiet sigh within himself.

However,

this was probably the best choice after all.

As long as the Ghost Willow swallowed the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, then he still had a chance to turn the tables.

But the very next moment, under his gaze, the hand holding the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed was gradually pulverized directly by countless willow branches.

Not consumed, not absorbed, just directly destroyed.

It was over.

With the help of the Enchantress Divine Tree Seed, the plan to temporarily control the Ghost Willow completely collapsed.

Feeling the excruciating pain from his right arm, Xu Yuan looked up somewhat stunned at the towering ancient willow that had reached close to him without him realizing.

In front of it, he was as insignificant as an ant.

"Rumble—"

An earthquake shook the ground, and the ancient willow that had reached close by split open within its unimaginably high trunk, revealing a ferocious and massive wooden maw.

Swish!

A slender willow branch suddenly shot out from within.

The speed of the willow branch was not fast, allowing its trajectory to be clearly captured.

But, there was no way to dodge it.

Without any ability to resist, the willow branch just pierced straight into Xu Yuan’s forehead.

Then,

a tortuous and obscure, ancient voice rose up from the depths of Xu Yuan’s heart:

"I... need your body to go to the outside world."

"....."

With his forehead pierced, Xu Yuan’s pupils and consciousness began to dull.

He suddenly realized something.

This time, he had gambled with his life and had made a grave mistake.

As his vision of the towering Ghost Willow started to blur and sway, Xu Yuan’s consciousness gradually scattered.

Its purpose, it seemed, was to possess him...

However,

why was there still a spirit capable of awakening by itself here?

In the midst of confusion, Xu Yuan’s heavy eyelids could barely hold up, his consciousness gradually sinking into darkness.

Just as everything was about to fade to black,

at the spot where his forehead was pierced,

a cherry blossom mark gradually emerged, gradually becoming radiant...
