Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 682 Devouring
The fighting in the city stopped.

Because of the demise of the insect tide, the city, which was like a phoenix, became much quieter. The body parts and blood plasma that were originally scattered everywhere disappeared completely. In the crowded streets, only the faint sounds of the resurrected people hugging and laughing with their relatives and friends could be heard.

Staring at the dark eyes of Mu Nuo in front of him, Xu Yuan's eyes seemed to drift to the memory that he least wanted to recall.

Huizhou County.

The place where he devoured the entire city's flesh and blood.

The souls of all the living things inside were dispersed, their bones were crushed, their blood and flesh were sucked dry, and then they were swallowed into his stomach with a "gurgling" sound.

The feeling of fullness, satisfaction, and nausea after waking up are still deeply engraved in his memory.

Gently raising his palm, a wisp of brown-red gauze-like smoke immediately seeped out from the surface of Xu Yuan's skin.

Since then, Xu Yuan has been able to strengthen himself by devouring the flesh and blood of living creatures, just like Mu Nuo is now.

If there is an if line in the real world, he Xu Yuanxing might build a giant mansion somewhere in Dayan, attract batches of cultivators, secretly kill and devour them to strengthen himself.

Very evil, and very villainous.

But he can.

Because the Prime Minister's tremendous power is enough to make him treat human life as worthless.

However, if you walk on the road often, you will get your feet wet. Sooner or later, he will be discovered if he does this. Maybe it is an accident, or maybe some inconspicuous person secretly escapes from this den and reveals his true identity.

Then, as the evidence became more and more solid, he finally appeared as the real calamity to the world.

By then, Xiao Si at home will probably stand against him, Da Bingtuozi who failed to fulfill his promise will also fight with him, and the two saints of Jiantian Pavilion will want to eliminate him out of responsibility.

Very twisted, and very touching.

But it's good to just think about this kind of thing.

As a human being, Xu Yuan felt that doing this was disgusting, and the distortion of his subjective consciousness caused by his transformation into a ghost was still vivid in his mind. He was afraid that devouring living beings would affect his subjective consciousness.

He has not been forced to give up these bottom lines for the sake of power.

But now he seems to have no other choice.

She glanced at Tian Ye who was still in East City, and looked into those golden eyes for a moment, but she just stood there with her arms folded across her chest, not showing any intention of interfering in Baidi's affairs.

This reminded Xu Yuan of a conversation he had with this witch.

[Among the ten thousand years of disasters recorded by your Jiantian Pavilion, there should have been ghosts? 】

Tried, but failed.

[Sword Valley? ]

[It seems that you still remember some things in the illusion. That was indeed the place where we tried to cultivate the vessel of disaster. It’s a pity that the Charm God’s disaster came first.]

[It’s a good idea]

[We have to make some attempts. Jiantian Pavilion can't just passively take the beating forever. It's a pity that disasters can't be cultivated artificially. I don't know if it can be guided.]

This evil woman had indeed come here to bring disaster, and the current situation was probably exactly what she wanted to see.

Xu Yuan could even think of some of the other party's arrangements.

If he succeeds in devouring Mu Nuo and remains conscious, then the disaster can still be controlled.

If he fails, the Ghost Willow Yin Source in the patterns will return to Mu Nuo's body, and the disaster will still be controllable.

Even if Xu Yuan could understand and figure this out, he still had to move forward according to the path planned by Tian Ye.

The character of the person who is destined to be calamity is truly terrifying.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

He thought of the woman Tian Yan.

There is no harm without comparison. The washboard saint is really much worse than this witch.
While stroking the head in front of him with the red gauze oozing from his palm, Xu Yuan was thinking about some random things in his heart, trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Evolving towards a stronger direction is the nature of all living things and the basic principle of all things in the world.

Subjective pursuit may lead to bad changes, but instincts from nature will generally make us evolve in a good direction.

Mu Nuo wanted to devour him because of his instinct, to make up for some of his own shortcomings. On the other hand, he devoured Mu Nuo for the same reason.
Right?
Xu Yuan really didn't want to go berserk again. The last time he went berserk and was beaten up by his uncle, he had already deeply realized that Unit-01's model would not work in this world, and that magic and skills were the real hard truths.

If he retains his sanity, perhaps he can still have a chance to fight with Baidi. If he loses his sanity, he will be nothing more than the next Mu Nuo. He has terrifying strength but cannot even make a wave in the hands of Baidi.

While he was thinking, Xu Yuan had already pressed his palm on Mu Nuo's head, but the next moment some crazy emotions surged in his heart and made him take his hand back.

This little bastard can actually resist even with only his head left.

Seeing this scene, Baidi slightly exerted force on the hand holding the head:
"Why stop?"

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment and explained in a clear voice:
"My cultivation is low, and if I forcefully devour it while this ghost baby is resisting, I'm afraid I'll be attacked back."

Although he has the markings given by Tian Ye, Xu Yuan's essence is still a fused body. It is basically impossible to swallow this guy while he is conscious.

As he spoke, under the gaze of the White Emperor, Xu Yuan glanced at the other party's dull scales and said:
"Demon King, you don't want to face a complete Mu Nuo, right?"

"Complete?" Baidi asked with scrutiny.

Xu Yuan considered his words for a moment, and said, "Dragon Emperor, you gave up your long life to pursue a human body. The previous Insect Saint gave up his life to choose inheritance in order to gain wisdom. All living things are pursuing evolution and perfection. Mu Nuo is no exception. You should have also noticed the difference in this little ghost after it devoured its mother, right?"

Baidi was very good at gathering intelligence, and he came up with the answer after a moment of thought:
"You mean emotions?"

"Before he ate his mother, Mu Nuo was a madman who followed his instincts and would devour me at all costs. But when he woke up just now, he didn't come to me the first time, but chose to protect his father in the hands of you, the Demon King."

"But emotions don't make people stronger."

“So I’m just giving you an example.”

Xu Yuan immediately took over and said quickly: "Now none of us know what kind of changes will occur to Mu Nuo after he devours me. It may be that he will have the meridians of the human race, or it may be that he will have my thinking mode, but it is more likely that he will have both. You should be able to imagine how difficult Mu Nuo will be to deal with by then, right?"

"The ancient beast's huge life source, the ghost's soul skills, the human race's meridian techniques, and the absolutely calm thinking, plus its own immortality and this strange living dead zone, this kind of existence must be a headache for even you, the Demon King."

silence.

Perhaps because of the ghost realm, the summer breeze in the desert also brought a hint of coolness, ruffling the long hair and even feeling a little chilly when blowing on the face.

Baidi's voice was still low and calm:
"What do you want to say?"

"I hope that you, the Demon King, can split its body and let me devour it bit by bit. This way there should be no risk."

"not enough time."

"."Xu Yuan.

Baidi held the head in his hand horizontally in front of him, his dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone gradually became lower:

"Once this ghost baby's body is restored to 30%, it will be able to use the black shadow shape-changing instant body technique in this ghost realm. Now that the Insect Saint is dead, there is nothing to worry about. It will be difficult for me to catch it again."

"You are very smart, and what you said is what I am worried about, but at this point, many things are no longer a choice."

Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan suddenly felt the air around the middle-aged man covered in dragon scales begin to vibrate faintly:
"Three breaths. If you don't act within three breaths, I will slaughter everything in the government office, including you."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan knew that the talk therapy had failed. Without any hesitation, he directly pressed his striped right hand on Mu Nuo's head.

Under the gaze of Baidi and Li Junwu,
The black fungus blanket in Xu Yuan's palm turned into brown-red gauze, which instantly covered the boy's head.

Then, under the effect of the Patterned Holy Source, it transformed into countless spikes that directly pierced Mu Nuo's head, and continued to spread and grow inside like vines, extracting some things from it, and then transformed into tubes that "gurgled" and transported them into Xu Yuan's body.

And at this time,

The head wrapped in blood-colored gauze in Xu Yuan's hand also underwent some changes.

Wisps of black smoke seeped out from the blood cocoon, circling in the air for a moment, and then transformed into thousands of thin snakes that went against the blood-colored silk and climbed up along Xu Yuan's arm.
then,

Buzz————

As a strong Qi vibration spread out, Xu Yuan's eyes became empty and lifeless.

Strong negative emotions gradually began to surge up, and waves of buzzing echoed in my mind.

Everything around,
Whether it was the White Emperor in front of him, Li Junwu beside him, the ghostly sky lurking in the sky, or the common people living or dying in the streets, everything began to become distant.
Looking down from the sky,
The black smoke and blood silk intertwined with each other, and in an instant a huge cocoon was formed in the air, wrapping the young man in brocade robe and the head in his hand, preventing outsiders from seeing what was inside.

In this strange blood-black cocoon,
Some changes are happening quietly.

The black marks on Xu Yuan's right hand began to spread rapidly, and what was even more bizarre was his lifeless eyes. Bloodshot black air gradually appeared in his eyes, and soon swallowed up the whites of his eyes as it spread, and then surged into the bloodshot pupils that were shining with golden light.
