Chapter 1084: Chapter 681: PossessionFalling.
Staring at the ever-diminishing light atop the vault of the heavens, Xu Yuan’s consciousness kept plunging into the pitch-black abyss.
It felt like lying on a sunset beach, the cooling tide steadily rising, wave after wave lapping at his neck.
Something was gradually submerging him.
But based on Xu Yuan’s experience with dying, he figured he wasn’t dead yet.
Death was a state of ignorance and oblivion—a stark, chilling void.
The very ability to think meant he was still alive.
This physical sensation, perhaps, was an abstract manifestation of his duel of devourment with Mu Nuo. Maybe the moment he was fully engulfed by the tide would mark the time Mu Nuo completely consumed him.
Or it could be the reverse.
After all, this devouring process was a mystery to both parties involved.
Xu Yuan had no idea what he ought to do. He couldn’t do anything anyway—he couldn’t even lift a finger. All he could do was passively perceive his surroundings.
If this were an action game, his current experience would undoubtedly qualify as a trash-grade title.
He speculated that this method of devouring and grappling must resolve itself through a battle within the spiritual realm to determine who would be consumed.
Like some Crown Prince fighting Nine Horns in a past-life manga.
The loser is enslaved.
Playing the role of a passive CCTV that keeps staring at the ever-dimming light above really felt too abstract.
The descent seemed endless, and his thoughts spiraled on endlessly, until at some moment, Xu Yuan suddenly sensed something amiss.
He was too calm,
so calm that he felt unexpectedly relaxed.
This shouldn’t be the case.
When facing Emperor Bai, despite remaining composed, he had racked his brain frantically seeking a way out. Yet in this moment of equally dire straits, instead of plotting his escape, he was idly mulling over such thoughts.
As he’d feared—the devouring process had brought about some kind of shift, warping his mind.
But was this shift a subjective construct of Mu Nuo’s will, or an inevitable objective phenomenon during the act of consuming?
As the thought flickered past, a faint, sardonic chuckle stirred within him.
If Mu Nuo had the intelligence to influence his thoughts like this, it wouldn’t have ended up being battered into such a pitiful state by Emperor Bai despite its powerful physical attributes.
The shift in thought was likely an inherent feature of the devouring process.
Which, in turn, meant Mu Nuo might also be undergoing similar changes.
How utterly unfair.
His transformation into calm indifference constituted a weakening, yet for the emotionally volatile little ghost like Mu Nuo, the loss of emotion was an absolute boost in strength.
Grumbling inwardly, Xu Yuan began
So, it must end with a boss fight after all?
But why did the brat’s materialized form look like it was covered entirely in sword wounds?
Tsk tsk,
It seems the Heavenly Gate Sword Intent’s quality keeps rising.
With such musings, Xu Yuan slowly lifted his hand to press his fingertips against his brow, the corner of his lips curling into a helpless smile.
Then,
he looked up once more at Mu Nuo before him,
at this,
towering Mu Nuo whose body loomed like a mountain.
