And just as this magnificent, gentle, and vibrant radiance appeared, enveloping Xuanjing Zhenren—

Attached to the jade pendant, Jiang Chan's senses acted like the most precise detonator, instantly locking onto the deepest part of Ling Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness!

The deep-seated, twisted seed of jealousy, upon sensing this incredibly familiar yet incredibly piercing radiance, was as if doused with boiling oil, as if a fuse had been lit, and suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, destructive tremor!

A monstrous surge of emotion, a mixture of jealousy, resentment, hatred, and the madness of "it should have been mine," burst forth like volcanic lava that had been suppressed for millennia, breaking free from all the constraints of reason!

Ling Xiao's body stiffened fatally the instant the light shone!

For the first time, a clear, almost distorted crack appeared on the gentle expression that had never changed on his face. In the depths of his usually calm and indifferent eyes, a trace of crimson, like ink dripping into clear water, suddenly spread!

The time has come! Now is the time!

Just as that clear, lotus-like radiance completely enveloped Xuanjing Zhenren!

Just as cracks appeared on Ling Xiao's gentle mask and his eyes turned bloodshot!

Jiang Chan's consciousness, like a venomous snake that had been gathering power for millions of years, transformed all her strength, all her calculations, all her hatred and desire for survival into a pure and deadly mental shock. Through the invisible venomous barb of [Mind Perception Amplification], it pierced the deepest part of Ling Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness with ruthless precision!

The target is that seed of jealousy that has reached its boiling point!

Bang!!!

A silent explosion resounded at the very core of Ling Xiao's consciousness!
