Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884: Chapter 690: Who Is Obsessed With Becoming Stronger? (2)

The pool water was icy cold, piercing to the bone, as the two embraced and sank deeper, the black hair like clouds intertwined with the moonlit silver hair, inseparable, reluctant to part.

Shen Tang had once taken the Water-Repelling Pearl given to her by Jia Lan, and now she could breathe freely underwater like an Aquatic Beastman.

However, the black fog snakes around Xue Yansi grew more frenzied.

They seemed to sense the threat from the female in front of them, and lunged to bite at her.

Shen Tang’s expression turned cold. The spiritual power in her palm instantly transformed into a Light Blade, and she raised her hand to slash at the attacking black snakes!

The snake’s body was directly split in half, and with a thunderous crash, it dispersed into mist and disappeared.

Immediately after, she quickly severed several surrounding fog snakes, finally finding an opening to strike.

Light appeared on her forehead, a thread of pure white silk extracted from it, piercing into Xue Yansi’s forehead, forcing entry into his Spiritual Illusion Realm.

This was her second time in Xue Yansi, more accurately, Xue Yinzhou’s Spiritual Illusion Realm, so she was relatively familiar with it.

After spending some time, she successfully found his spirit body.

It was a dim cave, so black that almost nothing could be seen. Above, a difficult-to-describe cacophony echoed, accompanied by the sound of large airflows blistering, as if something carrying a stench swept by from above.

When Shen Tang reached the cave center, a crack above cast dim, weak moonlight, barely illuminating this spacious, towering cave.

And at the very center of the cave, hung a "Black Cocoon" as tall as two people.

The black cocoon seemed to be formed from dense fog, nearly solidified.

Xue Yinzhou’s spirit body was enclosed within this black cocoon, its shape completely obscured.

Countless strands of black silk floated in the air, continuously winding towards the center, causing the cocoon to grow larger.

These black mist strands are the Devouring Power.

If Xue Yansi could resolutely sever these black strands, actively breaking the connection to the Devouring Power, he could recover.

Although he would lose considerable strength, it was the best option at the moment, far better than being fatally backlashed.

As the owner of the Bone of Devouring, he should know this.

Yet he chose to abandon resistance, allowing the Devouring Power to spread unchecked.

Shen Tang’s vision was almost completely obscured by the surging mist.

She braced against the strong wind, her hand shielding her forehead, barely maintaining her stance, struggling greatly even to take a half-step forward.

Step by step, she struggled towards the center of the cave, gazing at the cocoon suspended in the void, she shouted angrily and anxiously, "Are you courting death! Hurry and sever these Devouring Powers!"

She knew Xue Yansi should still have awareness at this moment, should be able to hear her words.

Externally purging the Devouring Power was too difficult, unless he willingly severed the connection.

However, nothing changed.

Black fog continued to wrap the giant cocoon unrestrainedly.

The System too spoke anxiously, "The Devouring Power is inherently domineering and chaotic, extremely demanding on cultivators, requiring a long time to cultivate."

"How long has he cultivated to reach this stage, consuming a brother equally matched in power, it’s too hasty, it’s no wonder he’s gone astray."

Shen Tang’s eyes gradually reddened, her angry voice tinged with sobs, "Xue Yansi... do you really want to become strong this much? Even if it means sacrificing your life?"

Inside the Black Cocoon, chaos and disorder filled the energy.

The silver-haired man trapped within, his consciousness already blurred.

He was unaware of who had intruded, couldn’t hear the external sounds.

Only vaguely grasping a questioning voice.

...

Indeed, why is that?

Even Xue Yansi himself didn’t know why he was so obsessed with strength, as if an idea in the void became his unbreakable fixation.

He must become strong, must become the strongest.

He must become the strongest person in the world.

Only then can he...can do what?

He almost crazily chased strength, even willing to sever all useless affections, yet suddenly forgot his original reason for pursuing might.

He only felt a dense, inexplicable stabbing pain coming from his heart.
