175: Chapter 175 Fusion!

But in the next second, a thick darkness surged in the depths of Chen Yuan's eyes, and a non-human roar escaped his throat.

Watching the changes in Chen Yuan, Lu Yin's heart tightened.

The depth of his mental control was clearly beyond Lu Yin's imagination.

On the other side, Lin Xiao's sword also slashed into that black heart.

Puchi!

The god slaying sword cut into the black heart, producing a tooth-aching muffled sound.

The pulsation of the black heart stopped abruptly, and countless fine cracks split across its surface, oozing a viscous black liquid.

As the heart of annihilation suffered heavy damage, the entire space fell into a strange stagnation at this moment.

The churning sea of blood seemed frozen, and the shadow monsters dissipated into black smoke after emitting shrill wails.

The contraction of the flesh walls came to a sudden halt, and even the air seemed to stop flowing.

"Did it succeed?!"

Lu Yin watched the scene before him, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

However, amidst this stagnant dead silence, a new mutation occurred!

The black heart that had been cut by the god slaying sword suddenly began to vibrate violently.

The black liquid oozing from the cracks did not dissipate; instead, it reconverged as if possessed of life.

"Not good, it's restructuring!"

Lin Xiao shouted sharply. In his Sword Demon Form, his perception far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he detected the abnormality immediately.

Lu Yin's heart tightened as he saw the heart of annihilation merge into the black liquid, which then twisted and deformed in the air.

It actually turned into countless tiny tentacles, surging frantically toward Chen Yuan.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Lu Yin wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

The black tentacles flooded into Chen Yuan's body like a tide, and the dark patterns on him instantly lit up with a blinding light.

"Ugh, aaaaah—"

Chen Yuan let out a roar of agony, his entire being completely swallowed by black mist.

The cold glint on his Tang sword was eroded by darkness, turning into a heart-palpitating evil aura.

The heart of annihilation had actually fused directly into Chen Yuan's body.

"This is bad!"

Lu Yin's face filled with alarm as he saw Chen Yuan, now completely shrouded in black mist, slowly lift his head.

Those eyes, which were originally sharp, now held only a darkness so pure it was spine-chilling.

The Tang sword in his hand was now completely covered by a black substance.

Eerie patterns similar to those on the heart of annihilation appeared on the blade, and every breath he took carried a suffocating pressure.

"Teacher!" Lu Yin shouted through gritted teeth, trying to wake Chen Yuan's consciousness.

However, what answered him was a black blade light that tore through space.

"Watch out!"

Lin Xiao shoved Lu Yin aside, holding the god slaying sword horizontally in front of him.

Boom!

The shockwave from the collision of the two forces caused the entire heart chamber to shake violently.

The blood vessels on the flesh walls burst one after another, and a rain of blood poured down.

Lu Yin was sent flying several meters by the aftershock, barely managing to steady himself.

"He is no longer your teacher."

Lin Xiao said in a heavy voice, his gaze more solemn than ever before.

Clearly, fusing with the heart of annihilation had turned Chen Yuan into an incredibly terrifying existence.

"Teacher..." Lu Yin gripped the dragon bone longsword tightly, his knuckles turning white.

"There's no time for hesitation." Lin Xiao's voice was cold and resolute: "That eerie thing has completely fused with his body."

"If we don't kill him, none of us will leave this place."

Lu Yin's breathing almost stopped. He looked at Chen Yuan, who was now completely eroded by darkness, and his heart felt as if it were being squeezed tightly by an invisible hand.

Lin Xiao's words were cold and cruel, but they were an indisputable fact.

Although Lu Yin didn't have a very deep bond with Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan had only come here because of him.

The blackened Chen Yuan was surrounded by surging evil energy, and the Tang sword in his hand had transformed into a demonic blade wreathed in ominous black mist.

He didn't say a word, only slowly raised the tip of his blade and pointed it at Lu Yin.

In that instant, Lu Yin felt a bone-chilling cold rush from his spine straight to his head.

"Teacher..." Lu Yin whispered through gritted teeth, the dragon bone longsword trembling slightly in his hand.

Before his voice had even faded, Chen Yuan's figure suddenly vanished.

In the next moment, a black blade light tore through space, aimed straight for Lu Yin's throat!

Fast!

Chen Yuan's speed was incredibly swift. Lu Yin subconsciously performed a Space Swap, switching positions with Lin Xiao.

Because the two were of one mind, the swapped Lin Xiao quickly raised his sword to block.

Lin Xiao's god slaying sword collided violently with that black demonic blade!

The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing seemed ready to tear eardrums apart. The exploding energy instantly evaporated the surrounding sea of blood, revealing the violently twitching flesh walls beneath.

In this collision, Lin Xiao was actually forced back half a step.

Surprise showed in his eyes. In his Sword Demon Form, he possessed strength no weaker than a Fifth Sense Professional.

But even so, it was still difficult to resist Chen Yuan's overwhelming power.

"Screeech!"

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan emitted a non-human sound, and the terrifying black energy around him instantly surged.

He raised his demon-patterned Tang sword high and then slashed down violently.

The brilliant blade light swept out, as if it would cut through heaven and earth.

"Demon Descent: Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Void!"

Lin Xiao's pupils shrank, and Sword Demon power flooded frantically into the god slaying sword, the blade glowing with a dark red blood-light.

Countless sword shadows emerged from the void, each one wreathed in a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

"Slay!"

With a thunderous shout from Lin Xiao, the ten thousand sword shadows merged into a dark red torrent, crashing into the black blade light Chen Yuan had unleashed!

Rumble!

The entire heart chamber shook violently. At the center of the collision, space shattered like glass, inch by inch.

The sea of blood was completely evaporated, revealing the violently twitching flesh walls below.

This time, Lin Xiao was sent flying directly, the webbing between his thumb and forefinger splitting as blood flowed down the sword hilt.

"His power is constantly increasing!"

"Lu Yin, stop hesitating!"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth. The dark red light of his Sword Demon Form was faintly dimming; clearly, his power was about to reach its limit.

Lu Yin's breathing became rapid. He could feel Lin Xiao's aura weakening quickly.

Although the Sword Demon Form was powerful, the burden on the body was immense. It was clear that Lin Xiao was about to reach his breaking point.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan—or rather, the monster controlled by the heart of annihilation—was surrounded by an even denser black mist.

Those black patterns writhed under his skin like living things, emitting a nauseatingly evil aura.

"Teacher Chen Yuan... I'm sorry." Lu Yin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, the last trace of hesitation had vanished, replaced by a resolute, cold light.

"Soul Devouring!"

In an instant, countless souls of death flooded into Lu Yin's body, sounding like the wails of ten thousand vengeful ghosts.

Lu Yin felt an incredibly vast power surging within him at high speed, his four-dimensional attributes jumping at a rate visible to the naked eye.

400,000... 500,000... 700,000... 900,000...

Not until it reached one million did those rapidly jumping numbers slowly come to a stop.

The attribute limit before the second turn was 100,000, while the limit after the second turn was 1,000,000.

Currently, Lu Yin was relying on devouring the souls of death to raise his attributes to the limit before the third turn.
