72: Chapter 72 A Desperate Gamble!

"Jie jie jie... Human, I see it."

"Your summons killed Athos and used his corpse to resurrect that fellow."

"I must say, the power you wield... is truly terrifying."

That cold, soul-piercing will slithered into Lu Yin's mind like a venomous snake.

Lu Yin felt as if his consciousness was being pierced by an ice pick, and his vision suddenly plunged into endless darkness.

Deep within the darkness, a pair of crimson Demonic Eyes slowly opened.

With undisguised mockery and greed, they locked onto his soul.

"Such a weak shell, yet it carries an authority that makes even the Abyss tremble..."

"Become this Emperor's new vessel!"

Aiolia's frenzied thoughts surged like a tide, attempting to seize Lu Yin's Sea of Consciousness.

"Not good! Aiolia wants to possess Lu Yin!"

Ye Fenghua, Commander cried out in alarm, sensing that eerie and powerful soul fluctuation.

Hong Feng and Lin Haina's expressions also changed drastically.

With the talent Lu Yin had displayed, it was no exaggeration to call him the future of the human race.

If he met with an accident now, it would be an incalculable loss for humanity.

But at this moment, even though they were burning with anxiety, they were powerless to intervene.

Outsiders could hardly interfere in a confrontation on the soul level.

Moreover, given Lu Yin's current Spirit stat, his soul strength was quite fragile.

Aiolia had targeted exactly this weakness.

"What do we do then? Are we just going to stand by and watch Lu Yin be possessed by Aiolia?"

Lin Haina's voice was tight, his fists clenched so hard the veins bulged.

He would rather be the one possessed than see a genius like Lu Yin perish here.

Meanwhile, Lu Yin's pupils were dilated, and his consciousness was being swallowed by the boundless darkness.

But at the very moment his consciousness was about to dissipate completely, two cold flashes of blade light suddenly ignited behind him.

Squelch! Squelch!

-125,796! -116,586!

The blade light instantly severed Lu Yin's neck!

"You! You!"

Accompanied by Aiolia's incredulous voice, the two damage numbers instantly emptied Lu Yin's health bar.

Aiolia never dreamed that Lu Yin would be so decisive.

Using his few remaining thoughts, he had commanded two Phantom Assassins to behead him.

"No!"

The death of Lu Yin's body directly shattered Aiolia's scheme.

Furthermore, because he was in the process of occupying Lu Yin's body, his consciousness was about to die along with Lu Yin.

"Master!"

Watching Lu Yin's head fly off, Yarberna's beautiful eyes turned feral.

She had once been the personal attendant of the Death Monarch and was the one who revered him most.

Seeing her master's death now drove her nearly insane.

"Wait, the Monarch will not die just like this..."

The other Legion Commander, Kasa, held Yarberna back and shook his head calmly at her.

"Lu Yin!"

Not far away, Ye Fenghua, Commander's eyes nearly split with grief as he almost rushed forward.

Hong Feng held him back firmly. This usually wise elder...

...was now pale, his lips trembling, unable to say a single word.

Lin Haina even squeezed his eyes shut, unable to bear looking any longer.

One moment they thought they were out of danger, and the next they were facing such an end.

Although they had eliminated an Abyssal Demon Emperor this way, compared to Lu Yin's value, their loss was far greater.

The God Realm Space, which had been incredibly chaotic just moments ago, now fell into a deathly silence.

Just as they felt their hearts bleeding, a brilliant green light erupted from Lu Yin's body.

"It's a life crystal!"

The rich aura of life caused hope to surge once more in the desperate group.

The green light spread like a tide, and Lu Yin's severed head and body reconnected under the shroud of life energy.

The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and mysterious runes surfaced under his skin, as if countless tiny green vines were moving through his blood vessels.

In almost the blink of an eye, a cold light reappeared in Lu Yin's dim pupils.

He stretched his neck, as if the beheading just now had been nothing but an illusion.

"Get out."

The moment he resurrected, Lu Yin spoke in a frigid tone.

When he had previously executed the mission to lure the demon generals, Xiao Wanguo had given him three life crystals.

Lu Yin had thought that with the strength of his class, he would never need such a life-saving measure.

He hadn't expected it to truly become his trump card for breaking this deadlock today.

As Lu Yin's consciousness recovered, Aiolia's soul intent also reconsolidated.

"You! Are you not afraid of death?!"

Aiolia's voice vibrated violently in Lu Yin's Sea of Consciousness, filled with unbelievable shock and fury.

He never expected this incredibly fragile human would dare to break the situation in such an extreme way.

"3..."

But Lu Yin completely ignored Aiolia's shock, merely uttering a single character calmly.

Aiolia's mind contracted violently; he could sense the absolute certainty in Lu Yin's tone.

"2..."

Lu Yin's countdown was like the whisper of the Reaper, gripping everyone's thoughts tightly.

"1..."

As the last number fell, Aiolia's soul let out a terrifying scream.

"Wait! Wait!"

However, Lu Yin gave Aiolia no chance to explain.

Squelch! Squelch!

The two Phantom Assassins struck again, accurately piercing his own heart.

"No! You lunatic!" Aiolia wailed shrilly.

"This Emperor can give you eternal life! Endless power! Succubi from the Abyss! Everything you humans desire!"

With Lu Yin's second death, Aiolia's voice came to an abrupt halt.

He had used this method to tempt countless humans before.

But he had never seen such a ruthless and decisive person, a madman who could discard his own life without hesitation.

But Lu Yin was also gambling.

He was betting that Aiolia would not dare to easily throw away his own life.

As an Abyssal Demon with an infinite lifespan, the longer they lived, the more they feared death.

What Lu Yin wanted to do was make Aiolia not only fear death but also fear him.

Aiolia never expected that his own scheme would end up being his own undoing.

Green light erupted once more, and Lu Yin's body was rapidly reconstructed under the shroud of life energy.

The wound at his heart healed at a visible speed, and new muscle fibers intertwined and regrew like wriggling earthworms.

"Lunatic! You are a complete and utter lunatic!"

Aiolia's soul shrieked in Lu Yin's Sea of Consciousness, his voice clearly trembling with fear this time.

This Abyssal Demon Emperor, who had lived for thousands of years, felt a bone-chilling coldness from a human for the first time.

Lu Yin slowly opened his eyes, the cold blades of the Phantom Assassins reflected in his pupils.

"Get out. This is your last chance. My life crystals are all used up."

Lu Yin's tone was terrifyingly calm, as if he were stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

But Aiolia heard a hair-raising resolution within it.

This human truly dared to drag him down to the grave together!

"Wait! We can talk!"

Aiolia's soul fluctuations rose and fell violently.

"This Emperor can sign a contract with you and will not pose a threat to your life!"

Hearing Aiolia's clearly softening tone, a mocking curve appeared at the corner of Lu Yin's mouth.
