176: Chapter 176 Ten Million Attributes!

Lu Yin's aura surged violently, and the surrounding space warped slightly under the weight of this majestic power.

He gripped the dragon bone longsword tightly, its blade shimmering with a dark, deathly luster as if countless vengeful spirits were entwined around it, whispering.

His limit attributes, raised to one million, were amplified tenfold by the Life Mark.

This meant that the current Lu Yin possessed four-dimensional attributes in the tens of millions.

Such a terrifying increase gave him combat power comparable to Luo Xiu, especially since he also possessed the divine skill, Attribute Conversion.

Lu Yin felt the majestic power surging within him, as if he could tear through space with a mere gesture.

His gaze was like lightning as he stared intently at Chen Yuan, who had been completely eroded by darkness.

With a thought, Lu Yin converted most of his attributes into Agility.

Lu Yin's figure flashed, his speed reaching the extreme, leaving an afterimage in his wake.

In the next instant, he appeared before Chen Yuan, and Attribute Conversion was activated once more.

This large portion of attributes was entirely converted into Strength.

With the support of a terrifying value of thirty million, this single strike unleashed a sword beam that tore through heaven and earth.

A strange glint flashed in Chen Yuan's pitch-black eyes; he blocked with his Demon Blade as black mist surged like a physical substance.

Boom!

The collision of the two forces caused the entire space to let out an overwhelmed wail.

The fleshy walls shattered inch by inch, the sea of blood surged backward, and even time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Under Lu Yin's near-frenzied attack, Chen Yuan was sent flying instantly.

Lu Yin pressed his advantage, converting his attributes to Agility and appearing in Chen Yuan's flight path as if teleporting.

Death Soul Slash!

The dragon bone longsword in Lu Yin's hand erupted with a blinding, eerie light, and the deathly aura entwined around the blade condensed into a physical form, as if ten thousand vengeful spirits were shrieking at the sword's edge.

This strike gathered all his strength and determination, carrying the power to tear apart souls as it slashed fiercely toward the flying Chen Yuan!

-123565894!

A damage number in the hundreds of millions suddenly appeared.

Chen Yuan's body was struck by this sword containing terrifying power; half of his body exploded directly, sending black blood and shattered internal organs flying everywhere.

However, even after a successful hit, Lu Yin did not relax in the slightest.

Because he clearly saw that beside the staggering damage number above Chen Yuan's head, the health bar had not been completely emptied!

In the next second, a hair-raising scene occurred.

Chen Yuan's completely shattered body did not meet death; instead, it was connected by countless black, tentacle-like substances, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state.

Lu Yin, the heart of annihilation has completely fused with him,

Lin Xiao said while panting, the dark red light on the god slaying sword growing increasingly faint.

We must attack the heart. As long as the heart is not destroyed, he has an immortal body.

Lu Yin's heart jolted; Lin Xiao's words had awakened him.

His gaze quickly locked onto the position of Chen Yuan's chest.

There, a pitch-black, throbbing shadow was emitting a heart-palpitating evil aura.

His heart can move within his body; we must deliver a fatal blow in one strike.

Lin Xiao spoke up to remind him at this moment.

Alright, I understand.

Lu Yin took a deep breath and raised the dragon bone longsword again.

However, Chen Yuan clearly noticed their intentions, and the black mist around him surged.

Countless tentacles extended from his body, dancing wildly like living creatures.

I'll pin him down!

Lin Xiao forced out the last of his strength, and the god slaying sword radiated its final dark red light.

Demon Descent: Soul-Severing Strike!

Lin Xiao's figure turned into a dark red stream of light, and the god slaying sword, carrying the power to sever souls, pierced straight toward Chen Yuan's heart.

This strike condensed Lin Xiao's final Sword Demon Power; wherever the dark red sword beam passed, even space was distorted by it.

However, the black tentacles around Chen Yuan's body danced wildly like living things, weaving into a dense, impenetrable black net in front of him.

Clang!

The god slaying sword struck the giant net, actually producing the sound of clashing metal.

The dark red sword beam and the black tentacles collided violently, bursting with blinding light.

Now's the time!

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Yin's eyes, and he converted his attributes again, focusing all his strength onto the dragon bone longsword.

A deathly aura surged on the blade, and the dark light grew brighter and brighter.

However, just as Lu Yin was prepared to strike, a sudden change occurred!

The throbbing black heart in Chen Yuan's chest suddenly detached from his body and suspended itself in mid-air.

The surface of the heart was covered in eerie patterns, and every throb emitted a suffocating pressure.

It's trying to escape! Lin Xiao shouted sharply.

Lu Yin's heart tightened as he saw the black heart suddenly erupt with a blinding black light.

Countless tentacles extended from the heart, shooting toward Lu Yin like black lightning.

No! It's trying to change its parasitic host!

Lu Yin, watch out!

In this critical moment, a look of determination flashed in Lu Yin's eyes.

Perfect timing! Since you want to come, let's settle this once and for all!

Instead of retreating, he proactively met the sky full of incoming black tentacles.

At the moment the tentacles were about to touch his body, Lu Yin converted all his attributes into Spirit value.

He intended to use his powerful spiritual force to resist the heart of annihilation's parasitism.

Just as the black tentacles were about to touch the space between Lu Yin's eyebrows, the spiritual power within him erupted like a bursting flood.

In an instant, Lu Yin's consciousness was dragged into a mental space constructed entirely of darkness.

Countless twisted illusions flashed before his eyes: Lin Xiao's chest being pierced by black tentacles, Chen Yuan's hideous, wild laughter, and the wails of countless souls devoured by the heart of annihilation.

Give up your resistance... Fuse with me, and you shall obtain eternal power...

A whisper full of temptation echoed in Lu Yin's mind, every syllable carrying a magic that eroded the psyche.

Lu Yin gritted his teeth, and the dragon bone longsword manifested in the mental space, its blade radiating a pure light of the soul.

You think you can shake my will with just these illusions?

He swung his sword and shattered the illusions before him, every step he took firm and steady.

In this battlefield constructed purely of spiritual force, Lu Yin felt the core consciousness of the heart of annihilation; it was an ancient existence filled with greed and tyranny.

Lu Yin's consciousness drifted in the endless darkness, which constantly eroded his will.

However, at this critical juncture, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Although the consciousness of the heart of annihilation was vast and ancient, there were countless tiny cracks deep within it.

Those were the residual wills of the countless souls it had devoured, like tiny fragments of starlight in the darkness, weak but never extinguished.

So that's how it is... A flash of realization appeared in Lu Yin's eyes.

He no longer tried to resist forcibly with spiritual force, but instead transformed his consciousness into a soft light, gently touching those shattered soul fragments.

Together with me... break free from this eternal bondage.

Following his whisper, those soul fragments that had been suppressed by the heart of annihilation began to tremble slightly.

One, two... more and more lights lit up in the darkness, like stars being ignited one by one in the night sky.

No! This is impossible!

The consciousness of the heart of annihilation let out a roar of shock and anger, and the darkness surged like a tide, trying to re-devour these lights.

But it was too late.

Lu Yin condensed all his spiritual power into a pure pillar of light, and the dragon bone longsword let out a clear, ringing hum in the mental space.

In my name, I grant you all... liberation!

The moment the sword light fell, the entire mental space shook violently.

Those imprisoned soul fragments turned into streaks of light, like a reverse meteor shower, crashing one after another into the core consciousness of the heart of annihilation.

Outside, Lin Xiao was shocked to see that the black tentacles, which were just about to touch Lu Yin's brow, suddenly froze in mid-air.

A pure white light erupted from Lu Yin's body, and the surface of the suspended black heart began to show web-like cracks.

Crack!

Accompanied by a clear sound of shattering, the black heart completely disintegrated.

Countless imprisoned souls escaped from it, turning into specks of fluorescence in the air before finally dissipating into nothingness.

The dark patterns on Chen Yuan's body also faded away; he stumbled a step, and his Tang Dao fell to the ground with a 'clang'.
