Chapter 1146 - 1146 1132 Spellcasting Failure

Chapter 1146: Chapter 1132: Spellcasting Failure Chapter 1146: Chapter 1132: Spellcasting Failure He came to the thirty-six islands for today, didn’t he!

He was also worried that the people of Sacred Spirit Island would not agree to help, but now it was certain—it was just his own overthinking. Whether he could become a normal person depended on tonight.

He had fantasized that if he really destroyed the Wolf King’s Ring, he could return to the Central Plains. He was also curious about what would happen if that old monkey knew he was still alive—would it be anger or an attempt to kill him?

Since they had cast a spell last night, they had gained experience in how to stabilize the strong energy of the Sacred Spirit Stone, which was growing more powerful again.

The Black Demonic Spirit looked at the somewhat nervous Nangong Yan and said with a laugh, “Hey, what are you worried about? It’s just the destruction of the Sacred Spirit Stone, not using Pangu’s energy to deal with Ye Chen. It won’t make him neither man nor woman.”

On hearing this, Nangong Yan slapped him, exclaiming, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

The Black Demonic Spirit dodged in a flash.

“Nothing can withstand the energy of Pangu when he created heaven and earth, I know that. Therefore, the Sacred Spirit Stone will certainly destroy the Wolf King’s Ring. You should just think about how to celebrate when the time comes.”

“Can’t you shut up and eat your roast chicken? You sound so effeminate and yet you talk so much,” Ouyang Yue said.

The Black Demonic Spirit really wanted to pounce on her, but as a gentleman of leisure, he didn’t deign to stoop to her level.

Before long, Li Mo and the Red Demonic Spirit also arrived, only to find out that the spellcasting had already begun.

The powerful energy surged into the ring, intending to destroy it with the most powerful force—like the rays of the sun, nothing could withstand it.

Ye Chen felt something was wrong. Why did he feel so uncomfortable? It seemed that the ring was causing mischief—but no, he began to sweat. Having bonded with the ring, destroying it would inevitably affect him.

His discomfort grew increasingly intense.

Nangong Yao also noticed the ever-increasing energy and how much worse Ye Chen was feeling, as if he were on fire.

He screamed, “Ah…”

Shao Hengjiang looked over and said, “No, the ring and Ye Chen are bound together. If we destroy the ring like this, it will kill him too.”

Indeed, the ring and he were like conjoined twins, especially after the chaos from the poisoned gas in Bell and Drum City had tangled the Eight Extraordinary Meridians—destroying the ring would certainly not leave him unscathed.

Nangong Yao also realized this and shouted, “Ye Chen, see if you can break free from the ring’s connection.”

A stream of red energy was seen wandering between Ye Chen and the ring, moving to his body one moment and back to the ring the next.

Ye Chen exerted his strength, trying to sever the connection with the ring. But that wouldn’t be so easy—if it were before he had been beset by demonization, perhaps he could have done it. After succumbing to demonization, breaking free from the magic power became even more difficult.

The magic power, linking one end to the ring and the other to Ye Chen, kept going back and forth. Destroying the ring meant destroying the magic power, and with the other end linked to Ye Chen, it was akin to a connected city gate catching fire, implicating the fish in the moat.

Ye Chen kept sweating profusely, his body felt as if it were about to combust from the intense pain. He tried to kick away the magic power, but it clung to him like silken threads, seemingly determined to drag someone down with it.

In this moment, it tightly grasped Ye Chen, the magic power taking a desperate gamble, betting that the others wouldn’t dare to exert their full strength, otherwise, it would directly kill them both.

Ye Chen followed the instructions of Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang, but it was not so simple.

To destroy the ring was to destroy the magic power, which would not consent, so it stubbornly entwined Ye Chen. Last time, he nearly succumbed to demonization, throwing his meridians into disarray; escaping now was not that easy.

Ye Chen cried out in agony, feeling himself burning, unable to stand the pain any longer.

Nangong Yan paced outside, anxious and unaware of what exactly was happening. She wanted to enter and understand what the matter was, but she couldn’t; the people inside were in the midst of spellcasting.

Black Demonic Spirit joked, “They really might not tell man from beast after all.”

Ouyang Yue glanced at Nangong Yan, who was clearly anxious. The Black Demonic Spirit’s words only heightened Nangong Yan’s nerves. Pushing the Black Demonic Spirit aside, she snapped, “You sissy, even eating can’t shut you up; why so much babble?”

Standing up and walking over to Nangong Yan, she said, “Hey, don’t listen to that guy’s nonsense. We’re destroying the ring, not casting a spell on Ye Chen.”

The Black Demonic Spirit gave a slight smile and said, “How could the spell not be directed at Ye Chen? Ye Chen and the Wolf King’s Ring are entangled with each other, as if they have become one. To destroy the ring is to destroy the magic power within him. If he doesn’t rid himself of the magic power during the process, he could also be dragged down to hell.”

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yue became anxious and said, “What? Why didn’t you say so earlier, why didn’t you tell us this before?”

“It has always been this way. If one can rid oneself of it, then destroying the ring wouldn’t cause any trouble. If not, he might as well be dead.” When the Black Demonic Spirit wrapped someone up, it often went like this: they used it, and it entwined itself even deeper with them; if they tried to destroy it, it would cling to them.

The Black Demonic Spirit continued, “Thinking you can just use someone and then get rid of them when you’re done, how could it be that simple? Back when I was still a soul, with no difference from magic power, I used this method to protect myself.”

Nangong Yan asked, “If that’s the case, then Ye Chen can’t rid himself of the magic power?”

“That’s not necessarily true. It depends on how deeply he’s entangled with the magic power. The less clear the entanglement, the harder it is to rid oneself of it. Moreover, it depends on whether he can hold on.” The Black Demonic Spirit continued to eat the roasted chicken and added, “The entanglement of Ye Chen with the magic power is quite obscure indeed.”

Hearing this, Nangong Yan grew even more anxious and asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“Although I wasn’t involved in the events that transpired in Bell and Drum City, that turmoil must have disrupted everything. Otherwise, how could he have gone mad and nearly succumbed to demonic possession?”

Nangong Yan tensed up even more at this.

The Black Demonic Spirit carried on, “To destroy the ring, one must first find a way to disentangle oneself. Otherwise, in the process of destroying the ring, the one cursed would be destroyed as well.”

Li Mo said, “Divine Doctor Zhu didn’t tell us this initially, nor did he mention that it was so complex.”

With a smile, the Black Demonic Spirit replied, “Your Divine Doctor Zhu might be very skilled in medicine, but on this matter, I am clearer than he could ever be. I was once a soul, captured for the practice of martial arts. The practitioners wanted to control me and use me for their training.

I surely couldn’t let them cast me aside after using me. While they controlled us, we also sought ways to counteract them, lest we be used and then directly destroyed. The only way to protect myself was to entwine myself with them beyond clarity, ensuring my own survival. That’s always been our approach.

So, you see, I understand this best. Just like the entanglement of Ye Chen and the magic power, it’s the same thing. Ye Chen used magic power to confront the Dragon Slaying Clan, so why wouldn’t the magic power use him to protect itself?”

Li Mo was shocked, and then it dawned on him as he said, “So Ye Chen can’t disentangle himself?”

“It depends on their entanglement. But from what I see, it’s doubtful.” Judging from Ye Chen’s screams, the Black Demonic Spirit added, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You think you can just walk away without paying after you’ve had your fill? Unlikely. But it also depends on whether the magic power is willing to let him go. However, I believe it’s improbable, as Nangong Yao is outside trying to destroy the ring, which means destroying the magic power. The magic power will cling tightly to Ye Chen, and even in death, it would seek someone to take down with it.”

On hearing this, Nangong Yan almost fainted.

Ouyang Yue exclaimed, “If you knew all this so clearly, why didn’t you speak up at the start instead of waiting until now?”

The Black Demonic Spirit explained, “How was I to know that Ye Chen and the magic power were so tightly entangled? I thought he could have rid himself of the magic power. I believe Divine Doctor Zhu also thought the same at the beginning, only he couldn’t ensure it; hence, he suggested that trying the Sacred Spirit Stone could be an option, to ensure that its power might save Ye Chen.”

Ye Chen was like burning in a fire of charcoal, on the verge of collapsing.

The energy kept releasing, and he felt as though he was suffocating.

Anxiety gripped those behind him.

“I can’t take it anymore.” Ye Chen was shaking, his entire face covered in sweat, his clothes drenched through.

Nangong Yao looked on and said, “No, this won’t do, he’ll be killed along with it.”

Shao Hengjiang also noticed and, although they were at the final stage, if this continued, Ye Chen would definitely be killed. If not killed, then he could end up paralyzed.

Nangong Yao continued, “His entanglement with the magic power is too deep. If this goes on, destroying the ring will also destroy him.” Even if Ye Chen could theoretically endure it, the injuries would be severe, and nobody could guarantee that he would survive.

“Alright, stop, we can’t continue the spell.”

Nangong Yao nodded. It seemed they had to find another way. He couldn’t continue at the risk of killing the young man. That was certainly not his intention.

No one knew how much time had passed before the people inside ceased casting spells, and the doors of the great cabin opened. A group of elders walked out, their faces filled with dejection.

Nangong Yan rushed in and saw Ye Chen collapsed on the ground, as if drenched in heavy rain, half dead.

The ring lay beside him.
