"I didn't possess him, I just took him back." Lou Munan looked at A Yao's incredulous expression and her shocked state, and smiled smugly.
"No, that's impossible! I don't believe it!" Ayao shook her head and said.
"I'm really sorry, but that's the truth. Otherwise, why do you think I would use his body?" Lou Munan said with a smile.
A storm raged within A Yao's heart, as if thunder were raging deep inside. Her expression of shock, pain, and struggle pleased Lou Mu Nan.
But Ayao quickly composed herself, coldly staring at Lou Munan, a murderous intent lurking deep in her eyes.
“I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that even if Xu Fengzhi is my clone, he’s still different from me. You’re even thinking that if you help him regain control of my body and make me disappear, the two of you can live happily ever after.” Lou Munan looked sharply at A Yao, seeing through her thoughts.
That's right, that's what Ayao was thinking.
Even if Xu Fengzhi is an avatar of Demon Lord Xuantian, he is not Demon Lord Xuantian. Judging from Lou Munan's actions, Xu Fengzhi is opposed to his true self.
Combined with the past lives of Xu Fengzhi that she had seen in her illusions, she had reason to believe that Xu Fengzhi was constantly reincarnating in order to get rid of his original self, Lou Munan. Using reincarnation to sever the connection with the original self was indeed a feasible method, but it was also a dangerous one, as it could very likely lead to losing oneself in the cycle of reincarnation.
Regardless, she believed that Xu Fengzhi was on her side. Even though he had been taken back by Lou Munan, he was still protecting her and preventing Lou Munan from killing her.
She would not let him down, given how he treated her. As long as Xu Fengzhi devoured Lou Munan, all the problems would be solved.
In the future, there will be no Demon Lord Xuan Tian, only Xu Feng Zhi.
"Do you think the Xu Fengzhi you know is a good person? He's my alter ego; he's exactly what I am," Lou Munan said.
Ayao snorted coldly: "He's different from you. I believe what I saw."
"That bastard betrayed me, but do you know how many people he killed for freedom? Do you know how many worlds he destroyed? For trillions of years, I have been suppressed while he has run rampant outside. The number of beings he has killed is many times greater than the number of beings I, his original self, have killed." Lou Munan said, revealing a wicked smile as he looked at A Yao.
He could see the wavering in A Yao's heart.
"He has only been the young master of the Divine Dream Sect for a little over three hundred years, but as my clone, he has memories spanning trillions of years. What is a little over three hundred years? I'm not afraid to tell you, he didn't know he was my clone at first, but now he has regained his memories."
"Even if he could defeat me, devour me, and become his true form, he still wouldn't be the Xu Fengzhi you know. Three hundred years is insignificant compared to trillions of years. You will never find him again!"
You'll never get him back!
These words were like a sharp sword piercing A Yao's heart. A flood of memories flashed through her mind, memories of being with Xu Fengzhi. Even if he could defeat Lou Munan, would he still be the Xu Fengzhi she knew? The Xu Fengzhi she knew was gone.
Lou Munan felt an immense sense of satisfaction watching A Yao's pained expression. This satisfaction was especially strong when he sensed that his rebellious alter ego was also suffering.
"How pitiful!"
Lou Munan sighed and reached out to pinch A Yao's chin. A Yao flew into a rage and slapped him in the chest.
This palm strike was delivered with full force, and as she made the move, the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly towards her. In the past fifteen years in this Void Realm, A Yao's clone had actually reached the early stage of the Fusion Realm, but she had been hiding her strength.
A violent palm wind swept across the canyon, causing the entire canyon to tremble. With a deafening roar, a huge palm print was imprinted on the towering peak. This palm print resembled the handprint of a lava giant, flowing with a magma-like light and emitting black smoke.
This palm strike terrified the demons and other living beings within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
However, this terrifying palm strike missed Lou Munan.
"Hahahahahaha..."
Lou Munan emerged from the dust, laughing heartily, and appeared ten feet away from A Yao. He was extremely pleased with himself.
"Your reaction sounds like impotent rage. You're so angry because you know I'm telling the truth. The lover you've been longing for can't come back, because he never existed in the first place."
"He's nothing but a fake personality created by my rebellious alter ego, hahahahaha..."
"You love a phantom. The real him is just as cold-blooded and ruthless as I am, just as bloodthirsty and cruel, utterly wicked. Do you still love him? Lu Xueyao, do you still love him?"
Lou Munan shouted loudly, his voice striking A Yao's mind so hard it nearly drove her to a mental breakdown.
"Shut up!" Ayao snapped.
Her voice echoed between heaven and earth, creating a sonic boom.
"What does it matter to you whether I love you or not? Whether I love you or not, you're going to die!! You want to play games? Are you scared of me? I will not only wipe out all the demons in the entire Kongmeng Realm, but I will also make sure you die without a burial place, and make you vanish into thin air, never to be reborn!" A Yao said angrily.
Lou Munan looked at the hatred in her eyes and suddenly became unhappy.
It must be that bastard Xu Fengzhi who influenced him again, he sneered:
"Fine! I'll wait. I'll see if I die at your hands, or if you break down first and kneel before me begging for my life."
After he finished speaking, his figure turned into black mist, which was then blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.
Standing there, Ayao was breathing heavily. It took her a long time to calm herself down before she transformed into a long rainbow and flew towards the boundary gate. She crossed mountain after mountain, countless forests, plains, and swamps before finally arriving at the location of the boundary gate.
The place was filled with miasma, the dark peaks were barren, and the ground was littered with corpses and broken magical artifacts. Most of these artifacts had lost their spiritual power, but occasionally some fragments could still be seen emitting a faint light.
The gate, though called a gate, is actually a massive, naturally formed spatial rift. This rift is hundreds of feet high and over fifty feet wide, filled with colorful orbs of light, making it impossible to see anything clearly. Beyond the rift lies the endless abyss of the Canglan Realm.
Ayao's clone looked at the boundary gate ahead, increased its speed, and rushed into it in one go.
————
In the deepest part of the endless abyss, all is deathly silent. The ground is littered with the remains of many living beings, and the phosphorescent flames flicker. From time to time, the cries of the dead can be heard.
A colossal gate stood here. It was more of a frame than a gate; a simple structure comprised of massive bronze pillars and a lintel. Inside, orbs of light of various colors filled the space, obscuring the view. Even with divine sense penetrating inside, the visible information was extremely limited.
Suddenly, a beam of red light flew out from the door and landed, transforming into a young man dressed in black robes.
