Chapter 631: Strange Jian Xin
Chapter 632: Ye Li, Guess if Teacher Freya and I were really acting?
Outside the Naya Illusionary Realm.
The Great Hall.
The banquet continued, with gentlemen and ladies conversing and chuckling. Some occasionally glanced at the sky above, where the dome was covered by a layer of golden light, preventing anyone from seeing the scene within this barrier. What had happened?
Dipus’s eyes flickered. Through a special investigative spirit robe, he couldn’t penetrate the barrier but could sense the fluctuations of spirit pressure. He was surprised to find four strong spirit pressure reactions within the barrier, and the intensity of these reactions clearly indicated a battle!
Dipus recognized one of the spirit pressure fluctuations as belonging to the Peach-faced Person who had killed Gu Xun at the Sky Lantern Pavilion – someone who shouldn’t have been here. How did this guy get inside the barrier? Dipus wondered. What surprised him even more was that this Peach-faced Person dared to barge into Ye Li Dongjun’s barrier domain alone. Was he seeking death? Dipus knew very well that even a Sacred Realm existence wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant on Ye Li Dongjun’s territory. Over the years, many had tried to assassinate Ye Li Dongjun, but none had succeeded. Killing this former super genius, who was confined to a wheelchair, was no simple matter.
At the same time, the Heavenly Revelation Knight, Shi Qi, sensing the disturbance, finally stopped chewing his apple and looked up at the sky dome with interest, a strange grin splitting his shark-like teeth.
Uncle Wei, hidden among the inconspicuous crowd, also frowned and looked up at the barrier in the sky. What was Xia Feng up to? Could he be assassinating Ye Li Dongjun inside? The absurd thought flashed through his mind, and Uncle Wei shook his head. Although he knew Xia Feng was a genius before their escape, he didn’t think he was capable of such a feat. To possess the strength to kill Ye Li Dongjun in just a year and a half seemed like fantasy. But if not to assassinate Ye Li Dongjun, what was Xia Feng trying to do? Uncle Wei’s brow furrowed, his silver-plated gentleman’s cane tapping lightly on the ground. On the side of his wrist, a small, thin-winged cicada crawled out from his sleeve onto the back of his hand before retreating back into the darkness of his cuff. His calloused finger tapped anxiously on the silver-plated cane.

The souls of the resentful wailed. In a daze, Xia Feng seemed to see a hellish world constructed from endless mountains of corpses. Outside White Emperor City, warships were arrayed, and thunderous swords hung in the air. Countless armored soldiers fell from the clouds into the sea of corpses. The sky was stained crimson, and withered bones formed landscapes. Finally, it seemed as if only endless, piercing wails remained in the world, igniting the boundless negative emotions within Xia Feng.
“Everyone has negative emotions. Unless one abandons humanity at birth, under the influence of the Naya Illusionary Realm, your past experiences of loss, displeasure, shame, unwillingness, and despair will all become swords aimed at you,” Ye Li Dongjun’s leisurely, light laughter echoed from all directions. “Therefore, arrogant boy, feel the despair. The more negative and terrible your past, the more you will be unable to withstand the emotional attack of these one hundred thousand vengeful souls.”
“I, for one, would like to see how long you can last?”
After hearing Ye Li Dongjun’s leisurely and mocking explanation, Xia Feng was somewhat surprised but nodded with satisfaction. So that’s the effect of your so-called ultimate move. What if the ultimate move was used on Ye Li Dongjun, and then he learned that I am actually Xia Feng, and that the one Teacher Freya was acting with earlier… Xia Feng instantly conceived a new, decisive plan. He abandoned the idea of activating the Sirius Saint Seat and instead quietly activated his Absolute Twin Pupils, absorbing all the negative emotional attacks surging into his soul.
The heavens and earth changed color, and the vengeful spirits, like a tsunami and a whirlwind, submerged the Titan Giant. They then surged into the giant’s chest and into the mask of the ancient robe-wearing man. But Ye Li Dongjun didn’t know. These vengeful spirits didn’t enter Xia Feng’s soul through his brow. Instead, they were absorbed by the twin pupils of Xia Feng’s right eye. The strange, rose-gold twin pupils spun in reverse, absorbing all the ferocious vengeful spirits that rushed in, accepting them all. One thousand… three thousand… ten thousand…
The use of Absolute Twin Pupils required a massive amount of mental power. Any attack that Xia Feng’s spiritual sense could perceive could be absorbed by the twin pupils. The intensity of the attack that could be absorbed depended on Xia Feng’s mental power. If it were just Xia Feng himself, his mental power would only allow him to absorb attacks equivalent to a few level four Venerables. But now, merged with Miss Mu, and with Miss Mu’s mental power… Ye Li Dongjun’s attack was like a kindergarten child throwing a punch.
Ghosts howled across the land. The gardenias on the ground had long since disintegrated, their petals swirling in the wind like terrifying tornadoes of shattered flowers. Ye Li Dongjun smiled lightly, calmly watching the Titan Giant engulfed by the sea of vengeful souls in the distance. Yet, after a full ten seconds, and with ten thousand vengeful spirits reduced, it still hadn’t ended. Ye Li Dongjun couldn’t help but frown. Could this mouse hold out for so long?
In the next instant, what astonished him even more was that the speed at which the vengeful spirits were decreasing began to accelerate. Twenty thousand… thirty thousand… sixty thousand… In just three more seconds, all one hundred thousand were gone! Before Ye Li Dongjun could even understand what was happening, the one hundred thousand vengeful spirits, comparable to hell itself, vanished in an instant.
Silence descended upon the world, and countless white flower petals rained down from the sky. The Titan Giant stood tall, bathed in this floral downpour. The ancient robe-wearing man at the center of the giant stood with his hands behind his back, unharmed. Ye Li Dongjun’s astonished, strange pupils widened, and his expression gradually turned grim. How could this be? What method did this mouse use?!
Jian Xin was also greatly surprised. Her phoenix eyes looked at the white-clothed man in astonishment, her previously calm and collected expression finally turning tense. But no matter what this mysterious man did, she couldn’t stay here any longer! Jian Xin reacted quickly, and the mirror surface lit up again beneath her high heels. But before she could pull Ye Li Dongjun away to escape, the mirror surface blossomed with more hands, numerous arms emerging to grab both her and Ye Li Dongjun.
The King’s Will descended! It was that same powerful control combo again!
“Roar—!!!” The world, which had been silent, was again filled with piercing ghostly wails. Jian Xin’s phoenix eyes, and Ye Li Dongjun’s strange pupils, contracted instantly. In the distance, the vengeful spirits that had been absorbed into the Titan Giant’s chest were now madly spewing forth! With ferocious faces, like countless fiercely evil spirits crawling out of the abyss of hell, they lunged towards Ye Li Dongjun with mad laughter and sinister grins! One hundred thousand vengeful souls! Filling the sky and covering the earth! Ye Li Dongjun felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his contracted, strange pupils trembling. He mentally roared, “Jian Xin, why aren’t we leaving yet!!”
The Absolute Twin Pupils, optimized by Xia Feng, possessed absolute rebound capability, and this rebound force automatically tracked the original attacker. Therefore, although Xia Feng could not see through the Floating Life Mirror, he could easily locate Ye Li Dongjun’s hidden location based on the rebound trajectory of the Absolute Twin Pupils. Jian Xin behind him did not respond to Ye Li Dongjun. Beads of sweat formed on Ye Li Dongjun’s forehead, and the hairs on his body stood on end. Yet, time seemed to freeze, and everything moved so slowly. He could only watch as the one hundred thousand vengeful souls, carrying torrents of wicked laughter and hatred, surged towards him! The young man in the wheelchair was completely submerged by the one hundred thousand vengeful souls crawling out of the terrifying hell.
