Chapter 305: Obsessed
In a cave within the vast mountains tens of thousands of miles from Bright Moon City, Wang Yufan continuously absorbed the power from the Dragon Orb.
Meanwhile, Wanru of the Ice Moon Sect, who had been tracking him, was still searching tirelessly in the mountains.
She had clearly seen Wang Yufan enter these mountains, but in a few blinks, Wang Yufan’s aura had vanished without a trace, which Wanru found extremely strange.
Just as she was searching, a sudden burst of power echoed through the mountain.
She slowly walked towards the source of the commotion and soon saw a dark cave entrance.
Sensing a familiar aura emanating from inside the cave, Wanru murmured to herself, "So you ran here. Today, I must figure out the reason for that familiar feeling you give off."
As Wanru thought this, she was about to enter the cave, but a formation of runes suddenly appeared at the entrance, protecting it and preventing anyone from entering.
However, these were all very easy for Wanru.
Just as she was about to strike with her palm, she suddenly stopped and pondered.
Such an action would disturb the person inside, so she took out a jade tablet from her Pregnant, on which the large character ’untie’ (Jie - Dispel) was written.
Indeed, this was their Ice Moon Sect’s special method: the Dispel Array Tablet.
With this tablet, as long as the cultivation of the person who cast the array did not reach the cultivation level required to create this Dispel Array Tablet, the array could be directly broken by it.
Wanru also knew that Wang Yufan’s cultivation was not too high, so she directly pressed the Dispel Array Tablet onto the formation.
Within a dozen breaths of her placing it, the array set up by Wang Yufan was slowly deciphered.
Wanru then concealed her aura and slowly entered the cave.
At this moment, Wang Yufan had already unsealed himself, and his power was continuously soaring.
However, as Wang Yufan absorbed the power of the Dragon Orb, he found that he couldn’t break through to the Primal Spirit Realm, even though he had already reached the late Eternal Realm.
He wondered why he couldn’t break through.
As Wang Yufan’s emotions fluctuated, the energy around him began to riot, and the Dragon Orb suspended before him now emitted not golden light, but a crimson glow, a bloodthirsty impulse.
Wang Yufan had absorbed the power of the Dragon Orb, but he had not digested that power.
With continuous absorption, Wang Yufan’s own consciousness began to become chaotic.
This scene was fully observed by the hidden Wanru.
When she felt the Dragon Orb suspended before Wang Yufan, her heart pounded.
She could tell that the Dragon Orb in front of Wang Yufan was definitely not simple, because she herself felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression from it.
Just as her emotions fluctuated, Wang Yufan seemed to directly sense someone’s presence here and immediately looked towards Wanru.
Knowing she had been discovered, Wanru chose not to hide and revealed herself.
Wang Yufan did not react when he saw Wanru, because at this moment, his consciousness was completely chaotic and unclear.
As for Wanru, when she saw Wang Yufan turn his head and look at her, she was also somewhat shocked.
This was because Wang Yufan’s original appearance had undergone a huge change; half of his face was now covered in dense, golden scales, and his eyes were completely red, completely out of place with his entire being.
"What happened to you? How did you become like this?" Wanru asked.
However, after she spoke, she received no response from Wang Yufan.
Wanru tried calling out a few more times, but the result was the same.
"Could it be that this person has gone berserk after absorbing this Dragon Orb? His aura has now reached an extremely terrifying level."
Wanru said this, but she had no intention of leaving.
She wanted to see what would happen to Wang Yufan.
She wasn’t worried about being harmed, as she had absolute confidence in her own strength.
However, it was precisely this self-confidence that put her at a disadvantage in the upcoming battle.
At this moment, in Wang Yufan’s consciousness space, Wang Yufan stood on a vast body of water, observing the situation outside.
No matter how much he shouted from here, his physical self in reality was like a block of wood, making no movements.
Just then, a voice rang out, a voice Wang Yufan was very familiar with, because it was his own voice, yet it wasn’t him.
"Don’t waste your effort; you can’t call out to anyone here, because your body is no longer your own body at this moment."
As the voice fell, a red-robed figure appeared.
Wang Yufan looked closely and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
The figure he saw was identical to himself, except for the clothes he was wearing.
Although Wang Yufan was very surprised, he still calmly said, "Who exactly are you? I was absorbing the Dragon Orb, so how did I inexplicably end up in my consciousness space? Moreover, I can’t get out."
To Wang Yufan’s words, Wang Yufan in red merely gave a cold laugh and said, "You ask who I am? Am I not you, Wang Yufan? What? You don’t even recognize yourself?"
"Hmph, that’s absolutely not me! Tell me, are you the evil read born from this Dragon Orb, or my own inherent evil read? If I’m not mistaken, you should be the evil read from this Dragon Orb, right?
Because I absorbed it, you are now residing in my consciousness space.
Is that so?" White-robed Wang Yufan spoke.
Hearing White-robed Wang Yufan’s words, Wang Yufan in red smiled and said, "You truly live up to your name, Wang Yufan; you can even guess this.
You’re not wrong.
I am a wisp of evil read from this Dragon Orb.
I will amplify the desires already present in your heart, and thus I came into being.
Therefore, today is also your time to leave.
I have only one soul, which is me, and you will ultimately be replaced by me."
Hearing Wang Yufan in red’s words, White-robed Wang Yufan spoke, "Fake is fake and can never replace the real.
The desires in my heart are merely my normal thoughts; there’s no need for you to amplify them.
My only pursuit is to cultivate and become the strongest—that is my sole desire.
Do you think you can achieve that?
Not to mention, you are the evil read of the Dragon Orb, even that Golden Dragon was tied to stone pillars by others."
Hearing White-robed Wang Yufan say this, Wang Yufan in red roared, "What do you know? That Golden Dragon sacrificed himself to suppress a taboo!"
Upon hearing this, White-robed Wang Yufan’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected Wang Yufan in red to know this.
He immediately said, "So, those eight colossal pillars reaching the heavens are all for sealing the ’taboo’ you mentioned?"
Hearing White-robed Wang Yufan’s words, Wang Yufan in red seemed to realize something and said, "You don’t need to waste your efforts.
I know everything you’re thinking, but I won’t tell you.
Didn’t you just say that your only desire is one thing?
I think there’s a good one right in front of us, so I’ll give it a try."
