Chapter 1143: Invasion of Evil Intent

From the blood egg, which split in two, half fled while the other half invaded the space within Li Luo's palm; it happened in the blink of an eye, and by the time everyone came to their senses, shock surged across their faces.

That blood egg was clearly a technique of the Demon King of All Sentient Beings; it must be a product of the Alien Kind, and things tainted by the Alien Kind are all filled with a thick aura of evil intent. Now that half the blood egg has drilled into Li Luo's hand, will it not corrode and corrupt him?

As for the shocked gazes of the crowd at this moment, Li Luo himself had no time to attend to them, because as that half of the blood egg merged into his left hand, his palm began to undergo rapid changes.

First, the skin turned blood-red, even the finger bones thickened, the fingertips became sharp, and the entire left palm swelled several times over, resembling a monster's claw.

It looked somewhat like a dragon claw after "Dragon Transformation," but a dragon claw is majestic and under Li Luo's control, whereas this current blood claw radiates a twisted and eerie sensation, with blood-red lumps squeezing out from the flesh and blood.

On the back of the hand, a bloodline appeared; the bloodline was slowly opening, and beneath it, a ferocious and eerie eyeball seemed to be trying to emerge.

All of this was a mutation corrupted by the Alien Kind.

Moreover, that blood-red aura continued to spread along the arm, and from the look of it, it seemed intent on corroding Li Luo's entire body.

Li Luo's expression grew gloomy; he knew that if this aura of evil intent truly spread to his whole body, the situation would likely become extremely severe.

Therefore, the spread of the aura of evil intent must be contained.

Li Luo immediately urged his surging Xiang Force toward his left arm, roaring as he resisted the corrosion of that aura of evil intent.

However, upon contact between the two, the effect was not obvious; Li Luo even felt his own Xiang Force gradually being polluted by the aura of evil intent.

"Ordinary Xiang Force cannot contend with the aura of evil intent within the body; the polluting power of this thing is too strong."

"Fortunately, I possess the Light Xiang Force!"

Li Luo did not panic; after a brief thought, he mobilized the Xiang Force within his body, poured it into the Mysterious Golden Wheel, and instantly transformed it into mighty Light Xiang Force.

The Light Xiang Force, filled with sanctity and purification, surged toward the left arm, quickly forming layer upon layer of defense lines.

And this time, the spread of the aura of evil intent finally slowed down.

The Light Xiang Force and the aura of evil intent intertwined and clashed, like two elite armies engaging in an extremely fierce battle at Li Luo's left arm.

While Li Luo focused on controlling the Light Xiang Force within his body to battle the aura of evil intent, outside, Feng Lingyuan, Wang Kong, and others watched Li Luo, who stood motionless, their expressions becoming somewhat wary; after all, they had seen far too many cases where pollution by the aura of evil intent caused one's own consciousness to be swallowed.

However, while they were wary, Li Hongyou walked straight over.

"Hongyou!" Feng Lingyuan called out in concern.

Li Hongyou paid no heed; her willow eyebrows knitted tightly. Li Luo absolutely could not have an accident here, otherwise how could she fulfill her wish in the future?

Li Luo's situation was dire at this moment; she had to provide help as much as possible.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Hongyou went straight to Li Luo's side, then directed her gaze at his left arm, where the skin was red and ugly, like the back skin of a blood toad; however, she still sensed the confrontation of two energies there.

"It is the Light Xiang Force..."

"Li Luo possesses the Light Xiang; he is currently using this Xiang Force to resist the aura of evil intent." Li Hongyou breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then she extended her slender jade finger, pointing at Li Luo's brow, and immediately a red flow of air carrying a faint fragrance flowed in.

These red flows of air circulated within Li Luo's body, maintaining the clarity of his mind, and could help him resist the corrosion of the aura of evil intent.

Seeing this, Feng Lingyuan and others also gathered around; looking at the two energies constantly oscillating at Li Luo's arm, they frowned tightly.

"To resist the aura of evil intent, the Light Xiang Force is still the most effective; our Xiang Force cannot enter his body to help him." Feng Lingyuan frowned and said.

This kind of pollution was useless for them to handle alone; they could only ask a stronger power from a higher level to intervene.

"I will help contain the spread of the aura of evil intent from the outside, but whether it can truly be stopped depends on his own ability." Yin Yue Zhiyu thought for a moment and said.

"Additionally, be prepared for him to lose control. If Li Luo's consciousness is truly corrupted and eroded, we will have to subdue him first and take him back to the Academy to figure out a solution."

Feng Lingyuan sighed helplessly and said, "Li Luo cannot have an accident. If something happens to him here, I'm afraid the Li Li Tianwang lineage will not let the Tianyuan Ancient Academy off easily."

"That is something the Academy should worry about; we have no way to handle it," Duanmu said.

Everyone nodded, and after some discussion, Feng Lingyuan, Wang Kong, and others made preparations; as their Xiang Force flowed, they surrounded Li Luo in the center.

At this time, Lu Ming, Jing Jing Taixu, Sun Sun Dasheng, and others also approached; looking at Li Luo's appearance, they were also somewhat worried, but they also understood that at this moment, they could not offer any help.

The atmosphere, which had relaxed somewhat because the great enemy was eliminated, became tense again at this moment.

However, this time, the one being watched with caution by the crowd had become the previous great merit-maker.

Li Luo paid no attention to the commotion outside; feeling the red fragrance circulating within his body, he also understood that Li Hongyou must have provided timely assistance.

Immediately after, he sensed some holy waves coming from outside his left arm, and at the same time, that ferocious aura of evil intent seemed to have weakened somewhat.

"Is it Yin Yue Zhiyu's Light Xiang Force?"

Li Luo muttered to himself, but Yin Yue Zhiyu's Light Xiang Force could only achieve an external containment effect; the place truly being corroded by the aura of evil intent was within his body.

If the internal defense line fell and the aura of evil intent spread, then his consciousness would also be corroded, and he would become a living corpse.

The three Xiang Palaces within Li Luo's body roared; Xiang Force surged out continuously, then was transformed into Light Xiang Force via the Golden Wheel, entangling with the aura of evil intent in the left arm.

And as Li Luo did his utmost to form a defense line, the spread of the aura of evil intent was indeed contained.

However, Li Luo did not relax in his heart, because this containment was merely superficial; as time passed, the aura of evil intent was still advancing.

It was just that the rate of erosion had become much slower compared to the very beginning.

But no matter how slow, it was still spreading.

According to this progress, I'm afraid in just a few days, the scope of the erosion by the aura of evil intent would still reach an astonishing degree.

"Even the Light Xiang Force cannot completely contain it?"

Li Luo's heart sank slightly; he had already done his utmost, but this aura of evil intent coming from the eerie "blood egg" was also extremely stubborn, clearly not an ordinary thing.

Li Luo pondered for a few breaths, then suddenly his spirit moved, turning toward the small Formless Fire in the center of the Mysterious Golden Wheel.

This fire is profound and mysterious; perhaps it can also become a source of assistance.

He controlled this object with his mind; he saw that the small Formless Fire actually floated up slowly, then circulated through his body, appearing at the place where the Light Xiang Force and the aura of evil intent were fighting.

And with the arrival of the small Formless Fire, wisps of flame rose up and joined the Light Xiang Force.

This time, the two combined achieved an unexpected effect.

As the Light Xiang Force rose, faint flames circulated; this defense line actually became as solid as gold and stone, and no matter how the mighty and ferocious aura of evil intent corroded, it could not break through even slightly.

Only then did Li Luo breathe a complete sigh of relief.

He even attempted a counterattack, wanting to drive the aura of evil intent completely out of his left arm, but that aura of evil intent seemed to have sensed the crisis and began to hunker down and contract.

For a moment, it was as if two armies faced off.

Li Luo, unwilling to give up, still tried to find an opening, but the evil qi was so viscous that with his current strength, he could not expel it at all.

This made him realize in his heart that being able to protect his interior, preventing this evil qi from spreading through his body and corroding his divine consciousness, was already the limit of what he could do.

To completely expel it, he feared powerful external force would be required.

And this, perhaps, could only wait until after this mission.

Li Luo sighed inwardly, then opened his tightly shut eyes.

And the instant Li Luo opened his eyes, he immediately felt powerful energy fluctuations surge from all around, as gazes filled with wariness and vigilance were cast toward him.
