Chapter 516: Soothing the Spirit

Poison, spreading rapidly.

Strong toxic mist had entered Zhang Mu and the others’ bodies, causing blisters to form on their skin.

In the darkness, Zhang Mu couldn’t find the way out at all.

Just then, a green light suddenly appeared on Qing Ling and Luo Wanxun, enveloping them almost instantly.

“It’s Father’s aura!”

Qing Ling looked at the protective layer on her body, the gentle green light completely dispelling the toxins that had just invaded her, protecting her in the poisonous mist.

Qing Ling’s eyes were a bit red, it was a power left by her father, Wan Xu, on her, which allowed the peak third-rank Qing Ling to resist the life-threatening crisis.

Unlike Qing Ling, Luo Wanxun had a majestic aura coming from high above.

Luo Wanxun’s power came from Vaidehi, Luo Wanxun was Queen Vaidehi’s chief guard, silently protecting Luo Wanxun with blessings from the queen.

Using this green light, they could see Zhang Mu’s current dire situation, quickly wrapping his arms with protection, covering Zhang Mu with the protective green light.

However, because of this, sharing the burden, the green light on both of them dimmed a lot and weakened.

“I didn’t expect both of you little girls to have such power in your bodies, but it’s a pity that you have to share this life-saving power with a stranger.”

“Otherwise, maybe you could hold on a little longer. Why not abandon this person, so you can live longer? Being alive is better than dying, isn’t it?”

The current Corpse Emperor looked contentedly at them, watching the battle between the two Beast Emperors beside him, appearing relaxed, enjoying seeing the selfishness in human nature.

He had already experienced the pleasure of deciding others’ life and death in the human race, believing there would be no exceptions among the plant tribe.

He wanted to see Zhang Mu being abandoned by his friends, rotting slowly in his domain of corpse poison, where the toxicity of the decomposed water would be the strongest.

It is this kind of corpse poison that is delicious enough.

At that moment, Zhang Mu suddenly asked Luo Wanxun beside him, “Xun’er, what is your awakening domain? Or rather, direction?”

Hearing Zhang Mu’s serious question, Luo Wanxun replied, “I have not comprehended the awakening domain yet, but I have roughly sensed the direction now. My domain is still in its infancy, focusing on space, which is why I can move quickly.”

I advanced to the early stage of the fourth rank because I matured the source within me.

The girl before instructed me not to enter the Era Battlefield, so I have been suppressing my own power. But then, since you are leaving too, I decided to stop holding back and focus on increasing my strength.

Unexpectedly, I accelerated the maturity ahead of time and completely lost control. I originally intended to stop at the peak of the third rank, but ended up barely managing to halt at the early stage of the fourth rank.”

So that’s the truth of the matter. Luo Wanxun was the one who suppressed her power to avoid entering the Era Battlefield. No wonder Zhang Mu felt something was amiss when he first saw Luo Wanxun. She had matured her source.

But now there is no time to worry about this. Luo Wanxun is the one among the three who truly has strength. Zhang Mu’s intuition tells him that the key to escape may lie with her.

“Space, teleportation, Xun’er, can you use this power to teleport us out?”

Seeing the expression on Zhang Mu’s face, Luo Wanxun shook her head with difficulty and slowly said, “My self-domain is not fully completed yet, but the Corpse Emperor’s corpse poison domain is really strong, my spatial teleportation cannot work here at all.”

His aura is locking us, we can’t escape the range of this domain.

The only awakening power I can use now is one, but I don’t think it’s of any use.”

Detecting Luo Wanxun’s disappointment, but upon hearing her last sentence, Zhang Mu hurriedly urged, “Xun’er, what is this power you can use?”

Luo Wanxun saw the green light on her body slowly weakening, quickly speaking softly, “My fourth-rank awakening ability is actually unrelated to the domain, it is connected to my previous power, calming the mind.”

It can resist the influence of mental power users and enhance the power of the mind, but there is a major flaw, it cannot be added to the mental power that already has attack power, otherwise it will cause conflict.

But I don’t have mental power myself, Zhang Mu, you have your own domain, definitely you also have your own attack power.

And the Corpse Emperor is not an evolved mental creature, cannot defend against it, so I say this awakening ability is currently of no use at all.”

Calming magic helps to enhance mental awakening abilities.

It doesn’t have any attacking power itself, only for defense with many limitations, but it’s great for working together with other powerful illusionists.

Got it!

Finally found a method to try out!

Zhang Mu’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, “Xun’er, you may not have mental power, but I do, and it’s the exact type you need – no self-attack power.”

“Release your calming magic on me, let’s see what happens. This is our last hope.”

Luo Wanxun looked at Zhang Mu somewhat uncertainly. Zhang Mu’s spiritual realm surprisingly lacked his own attacking power?

The protective green aura was almost invisible, but they had to try forcefully, or else they would end up dissolved.

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Just then, the Corpse Emperor seemed to notice their little actions, but casually said, “Oh, have you figured out a way? If not, you’ll have to become a part of my corpse poison domain. What a pity for you.”

So, as long as you release the protection on this man, I can let you live. Then, I can trade you with Queen Vaidehi, at least you can stay alive.”

The Corpse Emperor continued to tempt Luo Wanxun and Qing Ling to harm Zhang Mu. He needed Zhang Mu to feel desperate, that deep despair of facing death, which would help his corpse poison domain grow.

If Luo Wanxun and Qing Ling weren’t so innocent, they might have already been swayed.

If a normal human faced this problem, knowing that death was certain, sacrificing one to save the other would be considered the right thing to do for Zhang Mu. There would be no need to die alongside him.

However, all the Corpse Emperor received in response was a cold snort from Qing Ling, and Luo Wanxun remained silent with her head down.

“Ungrateful!”

“If you won’t let go, then let’s die together!”

Unfortunately, you won’t reach heaven or cross into the underworld. Instead, you’ll endure eternal torment in my corpse poison domain, becoming a part of it.”

As soon as the words “Corpse Emperor” were spoken, Zhang Mu felt some energy fluctuations and sensed that something was wrong.

Even though he realized that Zhang Mu and the others had turned into a pile of pus due to the poison, his mind was constantly under psychic attacks!

The intermittent stabs of pain made him think it was just excitement.

As the warning signs in his heart grew heavier, he finally realized it.

It’s an illusion!

With Luo Wanxun’s calming assistance, Zhang Mu’s illusions had evolved into a blend of substantial attacks.

No longer purely illusory.

A silent killing move!
