Chapter 188

This situation made Luo Chenyu think of the boss in the Ninefold Abyss with spatial abilities.

But this feeling…

Definitely not spatial ability.

"Hehehe…"

The eerie laughter echoed through the Spirit Realm, and instantly the dark winds grew fiercer, all sweeping toward Luo Chenyu.

Luo Chenyu frowned; these dark winds felt deeply wrong.

Leap!

His figure vanished from where he stood and returned to his original position.

And at this moment.

The red-clad Young Lady suddenly appeared before him, separated by only a breath, her icy chill rushing against his face.

"々｀ You… are very strong…"

Her vermilion lips did not move, yet the voice echoed throughout the icy space, as if everywhere at once.

Driven by instinct, Luo Chenyu raised his right hand and threw a punch.

Directly smashing into the red-clad Young Lady's exquisite face.

Yet…

To his shock, the powerful punch struck nothing, as if hitting air, with no sense of solidity at all.

Not even Blood Rage triggered.

"Hehehe…"

The red-clad Young Lady's face remained expressionless, yet the eerie smile sounded again.

The next instant, Luo Chenyu was stunned…

The red-clad Young Lady's pale eyes flickered with a sliver of red light, then her body dissolved into a streak of red radiance and sank into his third eye.

In Luo Chenyu's vision.

A prompt followed immediately.

"Ding, the Undying Soul has been officially activated!"

…

Luo Chenyu was now bewildered—he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

The next moment.

A chorus of screams suddenly rang out in his mind.

He couldn't understand those strange words, but he felt clearly: those eerie sounds were screams!

And as the screams rose, instead of discomfort, a cool, soothing sensation flowed through his mind.

"This… isn't scientific!"

Based on his past-life novel-reading experience, he should have been pulled into the Illusion Realm or had his consciousness invaded, forced to resist the red-clad Young Lady's assault.

But now, he felt increasingly awake.

Even, a sense of enjoyment.

A hundred tries, can't ride the sister!

What Luo Chenyu didn't know was…

In a mysterious space.

The red-clad Young Lady crouched like a frightened white rabbit, tears of blood streaming rapidly from her pale eyes.

Around her stood six figures of varying heights.

One of them, a powerful phantom, clenched his fists and said: "A mere spirit dares enter the Master's mind-sea and interrupt Ye's cultivation? You're begging for death!"

"Perfect… Ye hasn't devoured a spirit yet. Let Ye taste something fresh!"

With that, he bared his white teeth, looking like a ravenous wolf.

"Asshole, you didn't lift a finger just now and now you're thinking about eating? How thick is your face?"

(Qian Dede) Another tall phantom's dismissive voice cut through the strong phantom's words.

"Fuck, you wanna fight again, huh?"

"Think I'm scared of you?"

The two phantoms instantly bristled, as if ready to brawl at the slightest provocation.

At that moment, a clear female voice rang out.

"Stop fooling around—the Master treats us so well; now is the time to repay him!"

These words halted the standoff between the two phantoms.

The strong phantom sneered and snapped: "One day, Ye will devour you!"

"Say that like you could even beat me."

The strong phantom slowly approached the red-clad Young Lady, then turned to the female phantom who had spoken earlier: "How do we do it?"

………………

"A-le?"

Luo Chenyu stood frozen, listening to the voices in his mind.

"There's such a move? So amazing?"

【Prompt: Your skill 【Steel Shield】 pinned the invading boss 【Spirit Aggregation · Phantom Heart】 to the ground and used its devouring ability to extract the boss's core essence!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Protection of the Life Goddess】 used its innate talent to purge the evil force from the boss's core essence, obtaining pure soul essence!】

【Prompt: Your skill 【Protection of the Life Goddess】 gifted you the soul essence—your soul essence has strengthened!】

【System Notice: The invading BOSS 【Phantom Heart · Soul Aggregate】 has lost its source power and was thrown out by your skill 【Steel Shield】!】

【System Notice: Your skill 【Steel Shield】 is displeased that your skill 【Goddess of Life's Sanctuary】 is currying favor, and has decided to train even harder!】

The sound cut off abruptly.

In Luo Chenyu's line of sight, a grey stone appeared — precisely the one that had burrowed up from the "ground" earlier.

Without hesitation.

He reached out and caught that grey stone.

A system prompt popped up out of nowhere.

"Ding. Do you accept the special BOSS 【Phantom Heart】's submission, forming a pet contract?"

Luo Chenyu: "???"

This…

What kind of move is this?
