Chapter 260: Chapter 161: Final Willfulness; Lord of Malignant Spirits, Part 2

She suddenly bit her lips tightly, as if she had deflated after making a major decision.

"Hold me," she said softly.

The promises of never seeing each other again in the future, the sisterhood of the Snake Race, the Hidden Earth Jade Ring Pool, none of these mattered to her at this moment. Once back in reality, she would have to play the role of the noble and aloof clan leader, but here in the dream, she only wanted to indulge in the gentle illusion one last time.

"Hold me," she said softly again.

She didn’t believe it, didn’t believe You Su had never thought of staying here with her until the end of time, didn’t believe she didn’t occupy a bit of space in his heart.

And she was right.

You Su lunged at her, holding her tightly in his arms. He forcefully pried open Ji Xueruo’s teeth. Her tongue was as light as cotton yet very real, the intoxicating ’snake venom’ was transferred into You Su’s mouth by her tongue, and You Su greedily sought it out as if poisoned.

They kissed passionately, as intensely as two pythons entwined in a rainforest.

...

After several forgettable times of dual cultivation that set aside its essence, the two finally emerged from the dark cave.

They made a grand vow, and the power of the Feather Realm Perfection poured into their bodies. This time, without any abnormality, they steadfastly headed towards the ancient, heavy underground divine palace.

In perfect silent understanding, they quietly awaited Yui Zhen’s appearance. After the madness of indulgence came extreme clarity.

There was no unexpected trap, nor was there an earth-shattering entrance; Yui Zhen appeared calmly at the end of the cave.

This time, he did not transform into Shenxi’s appearance, but showed his original face, which looked like a handsome and gentle middle-aged man.

"You... made me wait a long time..."

Yui Zhen spoke leisurely, his voice seeming to come from the eighteenth layer of the abyss, carrying a millennium’s worth of frost and vicissitudes.

A half-step Void Realm You Su no longer needed to open his eyes; his naked eyes alone were enough to see the brilliantly attired Yui Zhen clearly.

No matter the countless cycles of reincarnation, Yui Zhen was still just a line away from the Void Realm. This is the Void Realm, a chasm that time simply cannot bridge.

"If I were you, I wouldn’t wait to die for so long," Ji Xueruo said sternly.

Yui Zhen grinned, revealing gleaming fangs:

"I just hope you don’t make any more futile struggles, for even if you undergo millions of reincarnations, you still won’t defeat me. Instead of wasting time, you might as well reincarnate early."

Facing two cultivators of the same realm as himself in the half-step Void Realm, Yui Zhen showed no fear, instead appearing very confident. This gave You Su a start, not knowing if he truly had a trump card or was bluffing.

"Blustering won’t make us fear,"

You Su said, braced, having long prepared himself to fight to exhaustion, ensuring he reserved the strength to call for time reversal if needed.

Yui Zhen, however, disdainfully raised an eyebrow, making his eyes look even bigger.

He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, like lamenting the folly of the world, and when he opened them again, You Su’s pupils constricted instantly!

For in Yui Zhen’s eyes, there were countless compound eyes like swarming flies!

Ji Xueruo also saw those eyes, nearly unable to suppress the urge to vomit, and she forced down her nausea through sheer terror:

"Hidden Earth!"

Yui Zhen laughed heartily with gaping mouth, endless tentacles stretching from his throat, wildly spreading like demons released from hell. And indeed, Hidden Earth had escaped the confines set by the Master of Dreams, supported by a whole spiritual blessed land, it would become the world’s fourth Great Evil God after devouring the little white fish!

"You really surprised me..."

Yui Zhen spread his arms, his five fingers also transforming into tentacles, with every one of those countless compound eyes throbbing rhythmically in a peculiar and mysterious beat.

"Should I thank you for finding the flaw in the illusion, or should I be angry... forcing me to descend upon this filthy human body... But no matter, once I eliminate you two anomalies! My illusion... will be flawless!"

As soon as the words fell, the wind howled intensely, and the eerie cavern suddenly became a pure white, much like the world inside the Dream-eating Ghost’s belly.

Ji Xueruo’s hair stood on end; she felt something in the illusion had changed, yet she didn’t know exactly what had happened. She was about to ask You Su, but was shocked to find her voice seemed to have been stripped away.

You Su watched Ji Xueruo’s opening and closing lips intently, attempting to respond, yet similarly found himself unable to produce any sound.

Hidden Earth had made a wish within its own illusion! No one could utter a sound anymore!

The situation had reached unprecedented severity. Ji Xueruo furrowed her brows in frustration but noticed You Su’s expression showed no fear. Gripping the hilt of the Mo Song Sword tightly, he was brimming with fighting spirit and eagerness.

Not even a Void Realm Venerable would dare face a demon that had lived for thousands of years directly. She didn’t understand where You Su’s momentum came from but was inspired by it, calming her mind and preparing for battle.

Hidden Earth’s compound eyes locked onto You Su’s, seemingly wanting to see through all his secrets. Whatever results they obtained, the compound eyes bulged as if about to burst like overripe berries!

The battle was on the verge of breaking out! Countless tentacles loomed like an enormous net, threatening to shred space wherever they passed!
