513: Chapter 513 The protagonist's mentality collapses
A short while later...
Ye Xuan once again felt an intense crisis of death.
It felt as if in the next moment,
he would no longer be able to hold on.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
The slaughter immortal bone within Ye Xuan's body once again emitted a gray light.
A powerful force of slaughter suddenly surged from within him.
He felt the power that had previously dissipated surging back once more.
"Is this... my Immortal bone about to recover again?
This is wonderful!"
Ye Xuan was instantly overjoyed.
He had thought that since the slaughter immortal bone's recovery had just failed,
it wouldn't recover again so soon.
But now, not long after, it was recovering again!
Truly, the heavens are looking after me!
"I don't know if this space is some trick of the Martial Immortal's,
but it's a blessing in disguise,
as it's causing my slaughter immortal bone to recover directly.
This time, it will surely succeed!"
Ye Xuan said with certainty.
But then, his expression suddenly froze.
Because the surrounding Martial Artists had stopped their attacks again.
Just like before, they suddenly retreated a certain distance.
"???"
"What's going on? Again?"
Ye Xuan's eyes widened.
An ominous feeling rose in his heart.
This time, he finally understood.
These Martial Artists were deliberately forcing his slaughter immortal bone to recover,
and then they would stop attacking.
Once he was no longer in a life-or-death crisis,
the slaughter immortal bone would stop recovering.
After a few rounds of this,
the slaughter immortal bone would eventually be completely damaged.
Who exactly was targeting him?
Perhaps it wasn't the Martial Immortal.
Then who was it?
Not only did they see through the slaughter immortal bone hidden in his body,
but they had also specifically found a way to target it.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Could it be that his enemies from the Immortal Realm had discovered his whereabouts
and had deliberately come to the Lower Realm to torture him?
No.
That possibility wasn't high!
Setting aside the fact that the Haomiao Realm was already sealed off,
if those enemies had truly discovered his whereabouts,
they would have moved to capture him long ago.
Soon, Ye Xuan felt the powerful force of slaughter that had emerged within him fall silent once more.
The gray light emitted by the slaughter immortal bone also dissipated directly.
In other words, the recovery of the slaughter immortal bone had failed.
Step, step, step—
The surrounding Martial Artists closed in again.
They attacked directly,
repeating the previous operation once more.
"Damn it! Stop! You all, stop it!"
"I admit defeat!
What do you all want?"
Ye Xuan was completely numb.
Then, after being ravaged by a large group of burly Martial Artists,
his mentality collapsed, and he cursed furiously:
"Which ant is targeting me!
Get the hell out here!
F*ck!!!"
But no matter how Ye Xuan cursed,
these Martial Artists paid him no mind.
After an unknown amount of time,
a cold gleam suddenly pierced through Ye Xuan's chest.
Bang~
It pierced straight through.
"Aaaah!
This is...?
You want to seize my slaughter immortal bone?"
Ye Xuan, who had been beaten until he was dizzy, only then reacted.
At this moment, due to repeated recovery failures,
the already incomplete slaughter immortal bone was even more broken.
Even more cracks appeared on it.
It could no longer recover on its own.
Therefore, it had no power to resist.
Ye Xuan only felt the large hand of one of the Martial Artists
directly grab the slaughter immortal bone within his body and start pulling it out.
"Hmph, no one can take my Immortal bone!"
Ye Xuan said coldly.
As things stood,
he could only release a wisp of the power of his immortal soul from his previous life.
The slaughter immortal bone absolutely could not be taken by anyone.
"Go to hell!"
Ye Xuan's eyes were bloodshot.
A terrifying aura suddenly emerged from his body.
The surrounding space began to warp.
The nearby Law suppression was instantly shattered.
An immortal soul that looked extremely similar to Ye Xuan appeared behind him.
That immortal soul was surrounded from head to toe by endless Slaughter Dao Principles.
With a casual wave,
it released a terrifyingly powerful Slaughter Immortal Light.
It seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth
as it surged toward the surroundings.
The surrounding Martial Artists were instantly erased.
But at this moment, what Ye Xuan didn't notice was that
before the Martial Artist in front of him disappeared,
they had broken off a small piece of the slaughter immortal bone.
And that small piece of the slaughter immortal bone vanished immediately.
In an instant, the Slaughter Immortal Light shattered the space,
revealing the scene inside Martial Immortal City.
At this moment, Ye Xuan's face was pale,
and he was incredibly weak.
This was the price for forcibly activating his remaining immortal soul.
But there was no other way.
If the slaughter immortal bone were truly seized,
the loss would be far greater than the exhaustion of his immortal soul.
After releasing this strike, the immortal soul behind Ye Xuan became extremely ethereal, as if it were about to dissipate.
At this time, countless Immortal Runes appeared nearby and began to repair the space.
Immediately after, ripples of spatial fluctuations flashed, and a large number of Martial Artists appeared around him once again.
One after another, they charged toward Ye Xuan.
"No, I can't stay here for long.
I must leave this place quickly!"
Ye Xuan's expression turned ugly at the sight.
He activated the remaining power of his immortal soul,
wrapping it around his body.
He transformed into a streak of gray light and flew toward the sky.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
A huge opening appeared in the sky,
revealing the scene outside Martial Immortal City.
The gray light that Ye Xuan had become charged straight out of Martial Immortal City and then vanished.
...
Beneath the Martial Immortal Hall.
"As expected of an Immortal Rebirth!
Truly impressive!
A mere wisp of a broken immortal soul is that strong?"
Su Yun was somewhat surprised.
He had still underestimated the terrors of an Immortal.
This move of Ye Xuan's
had directly torn an opening in the Immortal formation.
Fortunately, from the first time he had encountered Ye Xuan,
he had remained hidden in the shadows.
If he had been exposed earlier,
he would likely have been in a very dangerous position.
If he were hit directly by this move of Ye Xuan's,
even a Cultivator at the Ninth Stage of Mahayana Realm probably wouldn't be able to withstand it,
let alone him.
But thinking of the harvest this time,
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief and murmured,
"Though my plan didn't succeed completely, it was partially successful."
With a thought,
a thumbnail-sized piece of gray bone was taken into the Heavenly Flame Palace.
"So this is the slaughter immortal bone?"
Observing it from a distance through the Heavenly Flame Palace,
Su Yun could feel that
this tiny fragment of the slaughter immortal bone contained Slaughter Dao Principle power capable of destroying heaven and earth.
However, because it was only a small fragment of the complete slaughter immortal bone,
this Slaughter Dao Principle power was incomplete.
But even so, it was enough to show its formidable nature.
"Fortunately, my plan was thorough enough,
otherwise it would have been impossible to seize this slaughter immortal bone fragment."
Su Yun thought to himself.
Why was it so easy for him to seize a small fragment of the slaughter immortal bone?
It was because the slaughter immortal bone in Ye Xuan's body was already shattered.
It had not been fully restored,
but was merely barely held together.
So, it came off with a simple break.
But Su Yun felt it was also related to the plan he had implemented earlier.
As everyone knows, when a protagonist encounters a life-or-death crisis, they 'Burst.'
But everything has a price.
Bursting happens because potential is consumed,
or Luck power is consumed.
But can one use this 'bursting' characteristic to deal with a protagonist?
Of course one can.
Su Yun had implemented a special plan,
and the results were unexpectedly good.
Just as Ye Xuan felt the crisis,
and a powerful aura emerged from his body,
at the very moment he was about to 'Burst,'
Su Yun would control those NPCs to stop their attacks.
This caused the crisis to vanish,
and the 'Burst' to suddenly stop.
After all, if there is no pressure of death,
how can one 'Burst'?
After a few more times,
the consumption became too great.
Ye Xuan was indeed unable to 'Burst' anymore.
Su Yun then executed the next step of his plan,
which was to directly plunder the slaughter immortal bone.
However, as expected, it failed.
A protagonist with gold-Rank Luck
is not so easily dealt with.
Their greatest Golden Finger is also not easy to snatch.
But it was only that it couldn't be fully snatched.
Su Yun still managed to snatch a small fragment of the slaughter immortal bone.
"This slaughter immortal bone fragment might contain a part of Ye Xuan's immortal soul; I must be on guard.
So it's safer to use the power of the heavenly flame immortal essence to refine it."
Immediately, Su Yun once again controlled the Heavenly Flame Palace,
and that small fragment of the slaughter immortal bone was directly enveloped by streaks of crimson light.
