Chapter 372: Abnormality

"Tao Baibai, what exactly are you..."

Even with the Sage's intellect, the scene he saw at this moment gave him a tremendous shock.

The Mental Island, which should have been narrow, was not submerged or lost to the self after the impact of the Mental Storm he triggered and the Collective Unconscious Sea.

Instead, it began to undergo bizarre changes.

Tao Baibai's Xilingti appeared cracked like porcelain, and then pitch-black energy began to emerge from within; that energy represented other consciousnesses.

Hidden within Tao Baibai's body were a vast number of conscious existences.

Furthermore, those consciousnesses did not belong to Tao Baibai himself at all!

Then, under the Sage's gaze, the so-called Mental Island expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and strands of unfamiliar consciousness began to appear in this world.

The space occupied by Tao Baibai grew larger and larger, and the consciousness he could command became increasingly powerful.

Finally, a true, pitch-black Mental Island actually appeared, and Tao Baibai roared at him from atop it.

The next moment, it was as if tens of thousands of consciousnesses were roaring simultaneously.

In the Sage's eyes, a consciousness resembling a giant Ghost dragon flew out from that island and slammed into his consciousness body with a boom.

Although he was close to becoming a mythical creature, a new Mental Dragon, this impact still affected the Sage.

He was nearly knocked out of this Collective Unconscious Sea by the attack.

But the more terrifying attack was not this, but what followed.

Not far from the "sea area" where the two were located, the Mental Islands that had gathered together like fireflies began to perish in swathes.

Terrifying power began to spread in the mental realm.

It was a kind of resentment that seemed to emanate from the depths of the soul.

Emitted by a Monster that was already powerful enough to shake the world.

Almost instantly, the Sage was caught in the blast and wounded.

Yet Bai Cangshu stood within the pitch-black island, feeling the impact that seemed intent on killing all living things, his mind shaken.

He felt his Consciousness Space cracking due to the Sage's attack, and then realized that he was likely out of control to some extent at this moment.

But power is something that has its uses when controlled, and also its uses when out of control.

Bai Cangshu had rich experience in losing control of his body; he was not panicked, but rather excited.

Because for the first time, he felt the terrifying energy intensity within his own body!

Although it was not something he could wield alone, it is no exaggeration to say that the Wuji that Hongchen had previously unleashed when he died and was resurrected, which could freeze a thousand miles in one strike, was completely unworthy of mention compared to this power of his right now.

"Ha, haha~"

"Sage, since you wanted me to go mad, then you had better endure it well!"

The next moment, Bai Cangshu's Xilingti turned completely pitch-black.

Boom!

The pitch-black Ghost dragon slammed into the Sage in the sky.

The Sage was currently suffering from the blast of the Spirit World Evil Lord ravaging the living world, and in the chaos, he felt countless consciousnesses rushing toward him.

It was as if countless mad souls were gnawing at him.

Those consciousnesses were pervasive, and every thought was roaring in madness.

They did not want to die.

They should not have died.

If they must die...

Then they would drag everyone down with them!

This group of human Ghost spirits who had died miserably as innocent sacrifices by the White Face roared madly, constantly charging at the Sage's powerful consciousness, wanting to take his place.

Resurrection, resurrection, resurrection!

This was the consciousness that remained after this group of Ghost spirits had soaked in the Yellow Springs for who knows how long, experiencing round after round of mutual slaughter and resurrection.

The cyan giant dragon that the Sage had transformed into was also tossing and turning continuously at this time.

He had already given up on using this method to attack Tao Baibai.

The Sage took one last look at Tao Baibai, who had also turned into a pitch-black spirit body on the black island, and he understood one thing at this moment.

He had made a wrong choice.

This guy Tao Baibai had very poor compatibility with him.

Not only was he difficult to Hypnosis, but that intuition, which was so sharp it could almost be called "abnormal," was his nemesis.

He possessed the ability to sign a Contract with everyone whose cognition had been rewritten by him, and this Contract would not be written down in text.

Once a Contract was effectively signed, he could have the person who signed the Contract with him pay the price when he suffered a fatal wound.

And his Demon ability was inherently good at passing off the fake as the real and deceiving others' cognition; combined with the Visionary sequence potion produced in the Lord of the Mysteries world, he was almost invincible in all mission worlds.

Most Reincarnators had a contract planted on them before they even knew his ability, and ultimately died powerlessly in battle.

The very few Reincarnators who were difficult to influence would also be killed by him finding the flaws in their abilities because they could not kill him.

The battles of high-level Reincarnators are battles of Intelligence and rules.

In this domain, he was extremely powerful.

But a guy like Tao Baibai should perhaps be left to Tang Sanzang to solve.

The Sage frowned, took one last look at Tao Baibai's abnormal mind, and exited the Collective Unconscious Sea.

He watched as those mad consciousnesses, having lost their target due to his Xilingti leaving, rushed back to Tao Baibai's side and opened their mouths to gnaw at Tao Baibai.

His gaze was cold; as he expected, this ability to hide so many consciousnesses and souls within one's body was bound to be unstable and possess great negative effects.

Watching Tao Baibai's consciousness begin to be gnawed away, the Sage's eyes shifted, and he finally left completely.

Because of his own ability, he was very sensitive to factors like "coincidence" and "accident."

For ordinary people, it is quite normal for combat arrangements to have errors and omissions, leading them to subconsciously find a target with poor "compatibility" to fight.

But for the Sage, such "coincidences" and "accidents" often have deeper meanings.

In his view, the anomalies of Tao Baibai were already quite numerous at this moment.

Abnormal physical ability, abnormal thinking ability, an abnormal mind, and this kind of abnormal "Strong Luck".

However, it is a pity that no matter how much of an Outlier a guy is, if they are too reckless before they have grown up, they will inevitably encounter a powerful enemy they cannot handle and perish prematurely.

"I will remember you, Tao Baibai."

The Sage opened his eyes, then felt his body had been completely frozen; the next moment, his body vanished and appeared outside the ice layer.

And the figure inside the ice layer had already turned into the short-haired one who was already severely injured and dying.

This poor guy, the moment they felt the cold, only had time to open their eyes and convey a single thought with their Spirit before being frozen to death within the ice.

That massive block of ice followed its inertia and flew into the black void.

Lilith heard the sound by her ear, her heart panicked, and tears already welled up and spilled from her eyes.

"Coward, run away~"

There was only powerlessness and sadness in the short-haired one's voice.

She had never liked being called a coward by Luoka and the short-haired one, but from now on, there would be no one else who would protect her while calling her a "coward".

Those two ordinary, plain do-gooders were both dead...

Even though... they hadn't done anything.

Drip.

Bean-sized tears fell.

Fubuki turned her head and saw the man wearing a black priest's robe with his hands behind his back, already standing behind them.

"Go quickly!"

Fubuki was startled; she used her Superpower to barely lift Lilith and the unconscious Lily, throwing them toward the distance, but she herself no longer had the strength to fly.

Hongchen stood in the distance, seeing the Sage escape, and there was already fear in her eyes.

It's no use, there's no chance, these two Monsters... are simply unkillable...

Hongchen gripped the Snow Drink Blade tightly, the force so great that the hilt made a crackling sound.

Those pitch-black Ghosts standing all around turned their heads at the same time the next moment, looking at the Sage.

The Sage's eyes were cold as he looked at Tao Baibai, who was constantly spitting out various Ghosts as if "leaking air", and spoke.

"Has your consciousness already collapsed to the point where you cannot control a single Ghost within your body..."

"What a pathetic way to die."

Tens of thousands of Ghosts, while terrifying to others, were nothing to fear for the Sage.

Moo!

The black Cursed Spirit closest to Bai Cangshu suddenly raised its head and shrieked; the next moment, accompanied by a bang.

The Cursed Spirit's body exploded with a boom.

Then the next one.

Bang bang bang bang...

The Ghosts exploded one after another, and the terrifying spiritual power began to surge back.

That huge figure wrapped inside the Greed Cocoon suddenly moved.

"Hoo~"

A huge breathing sound emerged from within the Greed Cocoon, scarlet mist appeared from the ice, and the next moment, the ice cracked directly and shattered with a bang.

The huge figure landed on the ground.

"Sage... how could those idiots whom I have killed countless times possibly resist me..."
