Chapter 291 - 291 He’s Awake!

291 He’s Awake!

Having lost too much blood and having most of his spiritual power sealed, Qian Yuan’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and he was unable to attack at all.

Ye Xuan was now surrounded by the black mist after the strange heart had entered his body.

Shen Changling, who was originally the weakest in the team, was suddenly the strongest among them due to his condition.

He wanted to save Ye Xuan, but the black mist around him was too fierce. He felt great pressure when he tried to approach Ye Xuan. The black mist was akin to a wild ancient beast. He was in danger of being crushed to pieces if he was the slightest bit careless.

Even the high priest had suffered a setback, so Shen Changling did not dare to act rashly.

“What should we do now?”

It was impossible to escape. Even if the high priest had gone crazy, there were so many humanoid creatures surrounding them. It would probably be difficult for them to escape.

With Ye Xuan’s current state, Shen Changling couldn’t just leave him here.

Just as Qian Yuan was deep in thought, a burst of creepy laughter suddenly rang out. It was the high priest. He laughed strangely and kept shaking his head.

He mumbled, “It doesn’t matter. As long as Master can descend, it doesn’t matter whose body He possesses. I can continue to work for Master. As long as Master can descend…”

Qian Yuan and Shen Changling looked at each other. They knew that things were going south.

The high priest alone was already difficult to deal with. If the mysterious Master was added to the equation, how could they possibly make it out of here alive?

The black Qi wrapped around Ye Xuan’s body, and no one could see what was happening to him. Even if the high priest wanted to sneak peek, it was futile.

“If your master were to descend, what would happen to the original owner of the body he possesses?”

Hearing Qian Yuan’s voice, the high priest looked at him as if he was an idiot. However, he had accepted the outcome and was in a good mood. He was willing to make small talk with this sacrifice.

The high priest said haughtily, “Of course, he will die. You should be happy that he can become Master’s vessel with his lowly body.”

He continued, “Master’s heart actually chose him. This means that they are tied together by the red string of fate. Perhaps he is the most suitable vessel for Master.”

As he thought of this, the high priest became even more excited. His tone was much cheerier. He was not in a hurry to get rid of Qian Yuan and Shen Changling. Instead, he kept them alive.

“You can all die without regrets now that you’ve witnessed the arrival of our Master.”

Qian Yuan and Shen Changling’s hearts skipped a beat. They knew that Ye Xuan was in grave danger. To put it bluntly, his body would be taken over by another soul!

The heart was obviously very satisfied with the choice of vessel. Compared to the high priest, it felt a more powerful force from Ye Xuan. It also felt a little familiar with him.

It was as if the heart was attracted to something. Therefore, even before the ritual was over, it couldn’t wait to break free from the altar and rush to Ye Xuan’s side.

As expected, when he entered Ye Xuan’s body, it could feel a strong warm power, as if it had returned to its mother’s womb. Soon, it settled down here, and its blood-like veins quickly spread out in all directions.

The evil and filthy power began to contaminate Ye Quan’s internal organs, trying to assimilate and devour everything. In an instant, his blood turned dark.

Ye Xuan’s heart was beating slower and slower, and it even ended up stopping.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s head was dizzy. There was an inexplicable force tugging at his soul. An indescribable pain spread throughout his body. His soul actually felt like it couldn’t resist the force and flew out the very next moment.

The moment his soul flew out, he arrived at a place filled with darkness. This place seemed to be the deepest part of the universe. There was no light present, only endless darkness. It was enough to make one go crazy.

In the darkness, he could vaguely make out a huge creature that was asleep. Ye Xuan even stopped breathing momentarily. He could clearly sense how terrifying this creature was. It was indescribable.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This creature’s abilities could no longer be measured by any means in this world. Could it be an immortal?

As if sensing his presence, the giant creature slowly opened its eyes, and an unprecedented fear welled up in Ye Xuan’s heart.

He definitely couldn’t let this creature wake up! Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!

Before he could do anything, a voice rang.

[A foreign object has been detected in the host’s body. Activating protection mechanism!]

The cold mechanical sound in his mind pulled Ye Xuan back to reality.

Ye Xuan’s originally groggy mind was now clear. His soul that wanted to leave his body was pulled back by something. Just as the creature was about to wake up, Ye Xuan’s soul finally returned to his body.

It was as if everything just now had been an illusion, but the terror and fear that reached the depths of his soul clearly told Ye Xuan that the behemoth was definitely real.

What was that thing?

Right now, he didn’t have much time to think. He seemed to have developed a pair of heavenly eyes that could clearly peer inside his body. He could see the heart that was trying to occupy his body.

He felt that this heart had some connection with the creature just now.

This power was indeed tremendous, even Ye Xuan couldn’t resist it. If it wasn’t for the system’s intervention, he might have met his end this time.

Under the system’s suppression, the heart that was originally restless quickly shriveled up, as if all its essence, energy, and spirit had been sucked dry. Even the blood vessels withered, turning into ash and dissipating completely.

Ye Xuan’s own heart madly absorbed all this energy and began to beat again. He didn’t know if he was imagining things, but it even seemed to grow a little.

Just then, the black mist that wrapped around him gradually dissipated. The high priest looked at the scene in front of him and his breathing became rapid.

He exclaimed, “Master! Master is about to wake up!”
