412: Chapter 412 Mu Bai, the Gluttonous Body

Chapter 412: Mu Bai, Gourmand Physique

Ultimately, she still did not step into the village.

She would not go back on the oath she had made.

However, she clearly remembered this was a trial, and this was a trial space.

It should have had no connection to her village.

But after a flash of white light, she appeared here.

She felt that everything before her was either an illusion, another test for her, or that the white light had teleported her out.

But no matter which it was, she could not ignore everything before her.

Her eyes became resolute, and she turned and left!

When she was on the verge of death back then, she saw where those who slaughtered the village had gone.

She wanted to take revenge.

Whether it was an illusion or reality, she had to do it.

Moreover, she now had an understanding of strength and weakness.

Those demons who slaughtered the villagers back then seemed incredibly weak to her now.

She would capture all of them and slowly torture them to death, cutting them piece by piece, in front of the graves of her uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas.

She would make them experience hellish torture.

Under the setting sun, her small retreating figure cast an exceptionally long shadow.

......

In another mountain range.

Qin Yuan's figure appeared here.

However, at this moment, he instantly froze in place.

His gaze shifted from shock to recollection, then to anger, and finally filled with killing intent.

This transformation lasted for dozens of breaths before he regained his senses.

Under his feet was still that familiar, dilapidated courtyard.

This was where he lived when he was a servant disciple.

But the him of today was no longer the him of back then.

All the humiliating scenes from that year resurfaced one by one.

This was the source of the killing intent in his eyes.

He had sworn a year ago when he left the sect that he would either die outside or, upon his return, make those who treated him like an animal repay a hundredfold.

He also wanted to make everyone in the sect who had looked down on him regret it.

He never expected this time to be so short.

In the past, a year and more might not even be enough to advance a small realm in Qi Refining Realm.

But now, he was already in the Yuanshen Realm.

Moreover, he was an invincible existence, sweeping through everything in the trial.

A third-grade sect, if he remembered correctly, the strongest sect master was only at the Great Perfection of Golden Core.

At this moment, he already possessed this capability.

He didn't know why he suddenly came here, but the old grudges, he... would not let them go.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he walked out of this dilapidated courtyard towards the dwelling that once made him fearful and tremble...

......

Outside the star.

Lin Yu stood with his arms crossed, watching all of this from a god's-eye view.

He could imagine what White Xiao Ya and Qin Yuan would do next.

This was also what he wanted to see.

This was the only knot in their hearts.

Once untied, their minds would undergo a complete transformation.

Especially White Xiao Ya, don't let her murderous nature fool you; she had killed millions of trial-takers, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was a true demon from hell.

But her heart was the purest.

Pure does not mean innocent, nor does it mean kind.

In her young heart, she had actually only learned two emotions.

One was love, love for the village, and love for the villagers who had cared for her.

The other was killing.

Killing everyone who was hostile to her, killing all her former enemies.

To her, killing and loving were essentially no different; they were just expressions of a thought.

If there was love in her heart, she loved; if there was killing intent, then she killed.

A very pure way of thinking.

This was also why she, at such a young age, had killed so many people without being affected by killing intent or malevolence.

It was precisely this purity that, once her heart's knot was gone, left her with only cultivation and becoming stronger.

Those she loved were gone, and those she wanted to kill had been killed.

Becoming stronger became her sole purpose.

As for Qin Yuan, he was most like a Child of Destiny, the kind of person who sought revenge for grudges but did not lose his domineering aura and benevolence.

He was the type of person who possessed what was called the aura of an overlord, most suitable to become a hegemon or emperor who would awe the stars, and could even lead a faction to stand at the pinnacle.

He greatly admired both of them; if cultivated well, they would be his two most important chess pieces.

Of course, there was also the last young man—Mu Bai.

However, this fellow seemed a bit special.

Lin Yu had slowly noticed Mu Bai in the last month.

Completely different from the previous two, his rise was definitely something many people disliked.

Because his strength was built upon the sacrifice of many companions.

This kind of behavior might even lead to direct execution in some righteous sects.

He did not personally kill a single companion, but the number of people who died indirectly due to his schemes, deceptions, and various other reasons was simply countless.

And the opportunities of those people all went into his pocket.

This was one of the reasons he could rise quickly in the later stages.

Of course, his physique was also a very important reason.

When the Immortal Dao was completed on the Eternal Continent, a celestial phenomenon called the Myriad Demon Diagram of the Vault of Heaven once descended.

Its appearance created a monstrous physique, the Gourmand Physique.

In the starry sky, there was a star beast that had existed since chaos, the Gourmand, which could devour all things.

It had always been the absolute overlord of the starry sky.

However, it had disappeared in ancient times, and no one knew where it went.

It might have passed away in some corner, or it might have gone to a place beyond the starry sky.

But in later generations, a physique with the same abilities as the Gourmand suddenly appeared, so it was named the Gourmand Physique.

When the Gourmand Physique reached perfection, its terrifying devouring ability could rival that of the Gourmand in its peak period.

It was a very terrifying physique.

This information was common knowledge in the starry sky; he had already seen it in the data Xia Wei provided.

Once this physique appeared, it would almost always be annihilated by everyone in its infancy.

Because in the later stages, this ability to devour all things could even swallow everything in the starry sky, and no one could stop it.

At that time, the original sanity of the physique holder would be almost negligible, leaving only instinct.

That desire to devour was not something everyone could control.

This was Mu Bai's special quality.

His personality and way of doing things could be said to perfectly match this physique.

To put it bluntly, he was very insidious and cunning.

He belonged to the level of a hypocrite.

His outwardly gentlemanly image perfectly concealed his underlying insidiousness.

If he weren't observing from a god's-eye view, it would be difficult to discover his true nature.

But Lin Yu greatly admired him.

He had even considered him as the next person to form a Life Soul Chain with.

Because he was his person, and in the future, he was destined to be driven by him.

Even if he truly lost his sanity in the future and became a beast driven by desire, he would still be a beast controlled by him.

He didn't care at all.
