Chapter 625

Her hands were pressed firmly on the hilts of the twin blades.

If that person made any move, she would rush over immediately.

But the other had held this pose for a long time, and still showed no sign of movement.

Naizi felt puzzled—this guy looked bizarre, and the aura he emitted was deeply strange.

"Stop interfering in this matter—it's far beyond your reach."

The man suddenly spoke, his voice like metal scraping against metal, harsh and grating.

Luo En's expression subtly changed; he could sense an aura in that voice capable of influencing his mind.

Yet to Luo En's surprise, the man carried no trace of curse energy.

This man was not a curse, yet why did he speak such words?

Luo En spoke calmly.

"Curses plague the entire mortal realm—how can we ignore them?"

"Our very purpose is to eradicate every single curse."

The man let out a soft sigh, then shook his head.

"You still don't understand—your current strength stands no chance against those curses."

"If you insist on meddling, you'll only bring ruin upon yourselves."

Luo En said.

"Who are you? Why are you speaking on behalf of the curses?"

The man lifted his head toward the front, where a strange energy seemed to be slowly forming—he said:

"Once, I thought as you do—intent on slaying every curse one by one."

"But even now, I have failed to fulfill my lifelong wish."

"Worse still, I myself have fallen into an endless abyss."

"You've surely seen—the abyss before you is my prison. I've spent countless eons here."

"Even I don't know how much longer I can live."

Luo En stared at the man in surprise.

He had assumed the man came to block him, yet now he learned this man had once been like them.

Luo En said.

"But if we don't eradicate them, countless others like us will eventually be trapped here."

"I believe we can succeed."

As he spoke, he suddenly extended his hand.

A massive surge of curse energy erupted from Luo En's palm.

That energy flowed into the man, and his complexion improved slightly.

He gazed at Luo En with deep gratitude.

"Thank you for saving me, but I can never leave."

"This world concentrates all its energy here to imprison me."

"If all this energy could be removed, I could escape."

Luo En considered it, then decided to use his own absorption ability to draw in the energy.

Though he didn't know if this method would work.

But previously, Luo En had gained vast energy through absorption—he believed he could succeed again.

Luo En took a deep breath and sank his consciousness completely.

The man, seeing Luo En's state, was taken aback.

Moments later, Luo En suddenly opened his eyes.

Powerful suction surged from within him, directly drawing nearby energy into his body.

He then converted that energy into curse energy—but the process was exceedingly slow.

Naizi watched Luo En's condition, her brow slightly furrowed.

She wondered whether Luo En could fully absorb this energy.

The energy was extremely volatile—if it entered the body and couldn't be calmed,

it could cause severe harm.

As Luo En felt the energy enter his body, his expression shifted slightly.

He immediately focused all his mental strength inward, beginning to suppress the energy relentlessly.

The energy surged wildly, churning violently within Luo En's body.

Luo En sensed this energy was different from those outside.

"What is he doing?"

The man stared at Luo En in horror—he could sense Luo En rapidly absorbing the surrounding energy.

Naizi said.

"It seems he intends to absorb all this energy."

"This… this is impossible! This energy was released by curses—it's saturated with evil aura."

"Absorbing it will inevitably corrupt your mind."

The man's face was filled with alarm; he hurriedly cried out:

"Stop it! Don't absorb any more energy!"

But Luo En was at a critical moment.

No matter how loudly Nai Zi shouted in Luo En's ear, he could not hear it.

Now all his consciousness was immersed within his own body, nearly completely cut off from the outside world.

"He can't hear a word I'm saying."

Nai Zi's expression subtly changed.

If what that person said was true, then Luo En was in danger.

The man struggled to step out.

But he was now imprisoned within a cage made of energy, unable to escape.

Nai Zi spoke with deep concern.

"Then what should I do?"

The man said.

"He has already submerged all his awareness within his body; external forces cannot affect him at all."

"The only thing that can pull him out of this state is to enter his consciousness."

Nai Zi was at a loss.

Luo En also sensed that the energies within his body had suddenly become strange.

At first they were relatively calm, but as time passed, they grew increasingly agitated.

Luo En tried desperately to suppress them, but he was astonished to find these energies completely uncontrollable.

When he strained with all his strength, the energies grew even more restless, even attempting to burst through his body.

Luo En tightly furrowed his brows; he knew that if this continued, his life might be in peril.

The only thing left to do was to calm these energies.

For a long time, Luo En fought against these energies.

Nai Zi and the man watched Luo En with worried expressions.

Luo En's brows alternately tightened and relaxed, but it was clear he was suffering greatly.

Nai Zi said.

"What can we do to help him?"

The man shook his head helplessly.

"It seems we can only rely on his own strength now—we cannot enter his consciousness at all."

Suddenly, a muffled boom rang out, and Luo En's face turned extremely pale.

Beads of sweat the size of beans continuously fell from his forehead.

Seeing this, Nai Zi grew slightly panicked.

"What on earth is going on with this guy? Why has he become like this?"
