Chapter 298 Half-human, half-ghost Wei Mubai felt infinite despair and bit...
Wei Mubai was filled with despair, gritted his teeth and made a decision.
If that's the case, then just self-destruct! No matter what, he can't become a god!
Fortunately, he had placed restrictions on the core of the law in advance, so detonating it was just a matter of thought.
Wei Mubai looked up, as if he could see through all the obstacles and see Xu Hui.
It is also appropriate to say "see", as he could indeed sense Xu Hui's existence through the eyes of other clones.
Wei Mubai's eyes dimmed slightly, and he felt both bitter and relieved in his heart. Then his expression became stern, and he immediately probed into the core of the law, preparing to self-destruct.
At this moment, the originally pure space was filled with black death energy.
The wisps of deathly energy quickly wrapped around the stone pillars and grew rapidly, causing the originally pure and flawless soul power inside to be instantly contaminated with the thick aura of hell.
Wei Mubai paused and suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with golden light. This time he could really see through the void and see the situation above clearly.
In mid-air, Xu Hui stood in the void, looking anxiously at the three clones below, with an expression that was indescribably complicated.
As clones with interconnected thoughts, the three clones sensed everything that happened to Wei Mubai below.
They knew that he was about to become a god, but they also knew that he didn't want to become a god and chose to self-destruct.
The four of them had the same idea. They didn't want to become gods, nor would they let each other become gods, otherwise they would not be able to be with Xu Hui.
But they also had differences. Wei Mubai below wanted to sacrifice himself and blow himself up directly, and they would take Xu Hui and break out the rest of the way.
However, the three clones above believed that compared to them, Wei Mubai, who already had the strength of a Mahayana cultivator, was more powerful and could better protect Xu Hui.
So they would rather sacrifice themselves in exchange for Wei Mubai staying, but they would also interrupt his path to becoming a god!
Wei Mubai couldn't do this by himself, as he was completely trapped in the formation.
But the three clones above can!
The most crucial point of this formation is that the soul power must be pure enough and cannot tolerate any impurities, otherwise it will fail directly.
The best way to deal with souls is to let them come into contact with death energy. Soul power with the breath of the underworld will never make them become gods no matter what.
Therefore, they used their ethereal roots to transform all their spiritual energy into death energy, poured it into the stone pillars, and teleported it to the underground palace.
The mutated soul-calling formation is too powerful, and even with the combined strength of five people, it is impossible to break it. So instead of breaking it, they will just let the death energy in.
The soul power contaminated by the aura of death was no longer pure. After being absorbed by Wei Mubai, it directly blocked his path to becoming a god, and formed impurities in his body that were difficult to remove, like maggots in the tarsal bones.
From then on, his strength could no longer be increased. Due to the existence of death energy, he even became a half-human, half-ghost being, and would lose control if he was not careful.
But Wei Mubai and others believed that they could control it. With the peak strength of the Mahayana period, they could also better protect Xu Hui.
When Xu Hui ascends to become an immortal, he will directly dissolve into death. In this way, the part of his soul that is contaminated by the dead will be drawn into the underworld and become a vengeful spirit on the Underworld Mountain, which is the same consequence as the curse.
Later, Xu Hui came and could complete the soul replenishment by either luring away the vengeful spirit or killing it directly.
But by doing this, the three clones above cannot be saved.
They were originally residual souls, contaminated by the aura of death, and they would either dissipate or enter the underworld, just like Wei Mubai.
That's why Xu Hui's expression was so complicated. She watched Wei Mubai give up the chance to become a god for her and sacrifice himself again and again.
This made her heartbroken, but she was powerless to stop it.
How to stop it?
Allow Wei Mubai to become a god?
Not to mention that she herself didn't want to, even Wei Mubai wouldn't listen.
Just like she didn't listen and gave up on becoming Qilin before, Wei Mubai made the same choice as her.
Xu Hui smiled bitterly. The test of heaven was really interesting. Did everyone have to go through it?
What's the point of this?
Does it prove that their love is stronger than gold, that they are willing to go to each other? Or does it prove that their love is selfless, that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for each other?
But they never doubted each other's feelings from the beginning to the end, so there was no need for such a test.
Moreover, Xu Hui didn't think that passing the test would prove that their love was steadfast.
This is meaningless. Love only needs to be felt personally and does not need external proof.
She could feel Wei Mubai's love for her, and her love was also clearly conveyed to Wei Mubai. That was enough!
The so-called test is only needed by couples who do not trust themselves or each other. Only in this way can they see clearly how much emotion each party has invested.
Xu Hui sneered, thinking that all this was extremely boring, but she could do nothing about it.
I'm still too weak and always being led by the nose.
At this moment, she desperately wanted to ascend to become an immortal, not only to leave this world, but also to master more powerful power!
Her destiny has never been controlled by others, and she doesn't need them to tell her what to do.
No one is allowed to interfere with her feelings!
Xu Hui's eyes were deep. She drew out her spiritual power and poured it into the three clones to help them continue to transform the death energy.
Doing so would undoubtedly lead them to death, but this was Wei Mubai's choice.
Just as Wei Mubai would not influence her at critical moments, she would not interfere with Wei Mubai's arrangements for her own destiny.
Whether it is becoming a god or dying, since it is Wei Mubai's own choice, she will respect it.
And this is the absolute love and respect between her and Wei Mubai.
As more and more death energy was released, the three clones underwent irreversible changes.
The deathly aura was like black fog, slowly condensing around them, casting a shadow of death.
The lively expression on the clone's face was gradually replaced by grayness, and the skin lost its luster and became dull, like a dead tree that had been weathered by the wind and frost.
The body began to break down, the muscles gradually atrophied, and fine cracks appeared.
The death energy continued to corrode their bodies, making their originally solid bodies become fragile, as if they would shatter into countless pieces with the slightest touch.
Gradually, even his eyes became more and more empty, losing their spirit and liveliness.
But they still did not stop. Even though their bodies were gradually decomposed, they continued to transform into death energy.
Xu Hui's heart trembled, knowing what they were going to do.
Not only did she sacrifice herself, but she also transformed her incomplete soul into soul power, which was completely absorbed by Wei Mubai.
In this way, they will not become vengeful spirits and Xu Hui will need to go to Mingshan to retrieve them.
The Underworld Mountain is boundless, and it is already difficult to find a residual soul. After finding it, it needs to be purified, which consumes countless efforts.
Since they had a choice, they didn't want to cause more trouble for Xu Hui.
It would be a bit of a waste to disintegrate directly, so it would be better to transform it into nourishment for Wei Mubai and help him consolidate his cultivation at the peak of the Mahayana stage.
Perhaps it was the original power of his soul, which, even though it had become part of the dead air, still remained one of his core.
With the help of this core, Wei Mubai actually formed two completely different cultivation systems in his body.
One set is pure spiritual power. Using this system, he will be a normal Mahayana practitioner.
One set is pure death energy. After the conversion, the core continuously absorbs the influx of death energy and advances rapidly, moving forward as if there is no bottleneck.
The souls were led, the souls were born, the ghosts were gone, the ghost soldiers, the ghost officials, the ghost generals, until the ghost king who had the cultivation level equivalent to the Mahayana stage, slowly stopped.
Under this system, he became a qualified ghost cultivator, with deathly aura all around him. He was no longer the banished immortal with the breeze and bright moon, but a ghost king with blood-red pupils and a gloomy and strange expression.
At this moment, his face was gloomy, and the gaze he cast over was as cold as ice, as if he was looking at a dead object. His hair turned pure white, moving without wind, with an almost insane beauty.
There is a blood-red ghost seal rune on the forehead, emitting waves of heart-pounding blood evil and sin, weird and mysterious.
This is the karma created by the disintegration of thousands of souls.
If the ghost seal is not removed, he will be plagued by sins and suffer from the wailing of thousands of souls day and night, and will never have peace.
Xu Hui's heart trembled when she saw this. It turned out that there was no absolute good thing in this world.
She didn't know how much merit would be needed to dispel the murderous sin, and how many good deeds she would need to do to reduce Wei Mubai's pain.
She cried out in pain, "Mu Bai!"
The two were separated by a thick layer of soil, but they could "see" each other. Since becoming the Ghost King, Wei Mubai was no longer bound by anything in this world, as if everything in front of him was blank.
The two of them were connected by a Heavenly Dao Contract, and with his connivance, this characteristic could actually be used by Xu Hui.
So she could see everything around Wei Mubai and his entire transformation process without any obstacles.
Hearing her call, the sinister and mysterious look in his lifeless eyes gradually disappeared. Her reflection appeared in his blood-red pupils, becoming clearer little by little.
Then, a cluster of flames lit up, flickering her figure.
Wei Mubai curled his lips and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, which was filled with an indescribable strangeness and a hint of temptation from Mo Youlai, "Ahui, come here!"
Xu Hui only felt that the voice was ringing in her mind, not in her ears. Her whole body stiffened and she sank involuntarily, ignoring the layers of restraints and falling straight into the underground palace.
The moment she landed, she was bound by a force, dragged towards the throne, and fell into an embrace filled with cold air.
She shuddered involuntarily and couldn't help frowning.
The biting cold and the permeating deathly aura around her seemed to devour all her life. The breath of death followed her like a shadow, enveloping her bit by bit, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.
Wei Mubai's delicate eyebrows were now furrowed, and his eyes gradually became cold, like ice in winter.
He stretched out his icy fingers and gently stroked Xu Hui's cheek. The cold touch made her shiver again.
Xu Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to look up and meet his gaze.
Those red pupils were too strange, as if they held some kind of magic, making her afraid that she would be unable to resist sinking into them.
How could he be so tempting? He is the King of Ghosts, not the King of Demons. How could he be so ghostly and yet so sexy and alluring?
Xu Hui raised her eyes slightly, but then quickly lowered them.
It is really... so charming and mouth-watering!
She was really afraid that she would lose control and kiss those tempting lips directly.
But that was the Ghost King. Just from the embrace, she could already feel the strong invasion of ghost energy. If she really kissed him, wouldn't she be half dead?
However, Xu Hui's actions caused Wei Mubai to misunderstand.
His eyes suddenly became fierce, and he asked in a cold voice, "Are you afraid of me? Do you hate me?"
In those eyes, there is hurt and self-abandonment that is difficult to conceal
Xu Hui: ...
Is there such a big change in temperament?
So the question is, how can she comfort her lover who has become dangerous, self-loathing, cruel, fragile, easily hurt, and prone to overthinking?
