Gu Yucheng reached out and grabbed Ye Sheng's hand, stopping her from getting any closer.
"Obtaining it will grant you the divine power and malevolent energy within it, but a human body cannot suppress the malevolent energy within the bones; the end result will simply be that you become nourishment for the malevolent energy..."
Moreover, the divine power within is not so easy to inherit. The divine power contained within it is of the same origin as Jiang Yu's. As long as Jiang Yu does not die, the divine power will be continuously transported to Jiang Yu.
Therefore, even if someone devours the corpse, he will be brought to Jiang Yu's side by the divine power within the corpse.
Divine power and malevolent energy compelled him to confront Jiang Yu with weapons, but only one of them could survive.
Ultimately, whoever survives will have their malevolent energy leaked from their bones. At that time, it will surge into the world like a tide, and the world will be completely shrouded in darkness, never to see the light of day again.
That's when the real disasters for humanity began.
Only Jiang Yu can master it, and even if she can't...
His thumb, which was gripping the longsword, twitched slightly.
Now it seems that Jiang Yu, who has fully developed her own consciousness, has decided to completely merge with this body.
Jiang Yu slowly approached the corpse, placing his palm above its head.
A continuous stream of light emanated from his palm and spread in all directions.
The weight of the corpse gradually decreased in his hands, and its color became lighter and lighter.
Only then did Gu Yucheng realize that he didn't want to merge with the corpse, but rather to destroy it.
Looking at the body that was exactly the same as his, Jiang Yu remained expressionless. This body was more like a cage that imprisoned him here. If he really merged with this skeleton, he would never be Jiang Yu, but rather an appendage of this skeleton.
Endless.
It's better to destroy than to merge.
Thinking of this, he moved his hands even faster, and the corpse began to become transparent. However, just when everyone thought the corpse was about to be destroyed.
Suddenly, the ancient tree, which had been quiet all along, began to hum and chirp.
The sound instantly pierced their eardrums.
The tree trunk twisted and swayed wildly, its branches and leaves moving erratically. As if sensing Jiang Yu's intentions, it actually launched an attack on Jiang Yu on its own.
It was protecting the body.
Thick fog spread from its body, completely enveloping them in an instant.
In the thick fog, Jiang Yu could not see anything, but he did not stop what he was doing. His brows were slightly furrowed as he used one hand to deal with the attacks of the black ancient tree and the other hand to continue to destroy the corpses.
However, just as he couldn't see it, the transparent corpse slowly stood up and kept approaching him.
By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late; the corpse was completely overlapping with him.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yu's attempt to destroy the corpse also failed, and he himself began to merge with the corpse because he resonated with it.
When the mist dissipated, Jiang Yu had already merged with the corpse.
Jiang Yu's face was contorted with rage, and black smoke billowed from his body.
Qi Nuan watched him carefully, while Gu Yucheng quietly pointed the sword in his hand at Jiang Yu.
As time went on, the murderous aura emanating from Jiang Yu made it hard for him to breathe.
At this moment, he could no longer control his body and could only let it do as it pleased. He struggled to raise his hand towards his heart, and just as his hand was about to touch his heart, he was about to completely lose his self-awareness.
Without further hesitation, Gu Yucheng drew his sword and flew towards Jiang Yu.
In a moment of desperation, Qi Nuan rushed over, the sharp sword heart slicing through her heart, but was deflected by a golden light bursting from her heart.
Gu Yucheng fell to the ground, sword and all.
Qi Nuan clutched her chest, blood seeping from between her fingers.
Ye Sheng, who was standing to the side, was stunned by the scene before her. After regaining her senses, she was filled with rage.
"Ah...why...why did you do this?"
She asked angrily, her anger stemming from both Qi Nuan and Gu Yucheng.
Stimulated by this scene, Jiang Yu regained some clarity in her eyes, and then even more black smoke billowed from her body.
"Take her away."
He managed to utter a few words.
Qi Nuan smiled at Jiang Yu, then shook her head at Ye Sheng.
"sorry……"
"don't want……
Ye Sheng shook her head. Hearing this, she knew what Qi Nuan was going to do, and quickly pleaded.
Before she could finish speaking, the dagger in Qi Nuan's hand had already plunged into her own heart. The tip of the blade spun twice inside her body before the dagger fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth and from her heart.
It was soaked with stains.
Qi Nuan pulled a red heart out of her chest.
Actually, calling it a heart isn't entirely accurate; it's a combination of the heart and a Chengxin stone.
The Clear Mind Stone is Qi Nuan's natal magic weapon, ensuring her clarity of mind under any circumstances.
This is also why she and Ye Sheng were able to experience so many worlds without losing their way or sinking into depravity.
It had been nurtured by her heart for so long that it had become completely integrated with it.
She had originally intended to give it to Ye Sheng if she couldn't step into the void, but now...
She looked at Jiang Yu, who was filled with malevolent energy, and placed the Clear Heart Stone into his heart.
Seeing the Clear Heart Stone steadily fall into Jiang Yu's body, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her body could no longer hold on, and she collapsed softly into Ye Sheng's arms.
Gu Yucheng, lying on the ground, just watched all of this quietly. He hadn't expected things to develop this way. He gripped his longsword tighter and tighter, but in the end, he didn't launch another attack.
Unbeknownst to them, who were preoccupied with their own thoughts, a group of uninvited guests were stepping into the Void Realm and slowly approaching them.
The Clear Heart Stone entered Jiang Yu's body, and his body trembled violently as the crimson in his eyes gradually faded.
However, as soon as he regained a sliver of his senses, he snatched Qi Nuan from Ye Sheng's arms.
"What are you doing? Give her back to me!"
Ye Sheng held the curved sword and looked coldly at Jiang Yu.
At this moment, her eyes were bloodshot, and her heart was filled with hatred for Jiang Yu and Gu Yucheng.
Jiang Yu ignored her words, only looking at Qi Nuan in his arms, at her pale face, her aura was extremely cold, and she was suppressing infinite violence within her.
She said softly, "You won't die. I won't let you die."
At this moment, Qi Nuan was on the verge of death and didn't even have the strength to speak. She could only try to open her eyes wide and look at him.
Actually, you don't need to be sad, Yu. I've lived for a very, very long time.
Jiang Yu knew what she meant, so she turned her head away and stopped looking at her, but she couldn't help but keep her gaze on her.
All he knew was that she wouldn't die, and she couldn't die.
He carried her and walked quickly, continuously channeling divine power into her body.
Ye Sheng was about to block his way when Gu Yucheng stopped her.
He grabbed her sleeve, "The God has a way to save her."
Ye Sheng stared at him for a moment, then pushed him away forcefully.
"Get out of here."
After saying that, he quickly followed.
