Chapter 882: You Will Have No One Behind You! A Chilling Evil Aura!

Demon?

The moment he heard that title, Su Yang couldn't help but picture a ferocious, terrifying face in his mind.

He lowered his gaze, staring at the unknown‑material yet unusually hard emblem in his hand, his eyes flickering slightly.

Exactly the same as what Su Qi said before dying.

'Taboo' truly is an inheritance.

Unlike the traditional abdication, the prerequisite must be being killed.

She sacrificed her life for a Task, sinking forever.

Thus, Su Yang couldn't help but wonder—'Why does this tiny object possess such great power?'

It provokes the hatred of countless people, yet also the covetousness of countless others.

He doesn't understand the value of this thing.

He only knows that Yue Zhao cannot muster any arrogance in front of Su Qi.

It even carries a hint of servility.

Just as Su Yang was pondering, Yao Ri's voice sounded again:

'Taboo' was born in the Ancient Era, founded by my own hand.

The core goal is singular—use slaughter to tread the Golden Road and ascend the Divine Throne!

Since its founding, it has witnessed three appearances of the Golden Throne.

Now the fourth.

'Demon', your task is only one... ascend the Divine Throne!

The Organization will give you no assistance, nor any camaraderie like fellow comrades.

You must remember—'Taboo' fights individually; each person is the top player of their era.

Being top means you are the hunting target of all 'Taboo' members.

Therefore... if you encounter members of the same Organization, do not hold back.

Hearing this, Su Yang instantly understood, his gaze heavy.

He could figure out why Su Qi said that those of 'Taboo' would battle across different eras.

The reason is not merely greed.

It is also mutual vigilance.

Everyone has a hunting target.

Yet everyone is also a target to be hunted.

'I know you have many questions in your mind.'

'But now is not the time for Q&A.'

'My time is short; I'll be brief.'

'After the Twelfth Death Game, you will go to the New Era Continent with your Dependents.'

'Then, using the Taboo Emblem, you can breach the Era Barrier and go to the Old Era.'

'No doubt, this is Taboo's rule, and also the world's rule.'

'In the future you will face countless challenges, and behind you will be empty.'

'The Newbie Protection Period is about to end; thereafter you will receive no assistance.'

'Even so... you are his son!'

'Let go and act, go forth without worry.'

'I'll be waiting for you on the Golden Road...'

The voice grew fainter until it vanished.

'Yao Ri!' Su Yang shouted loudly.

The voice echoed in the room for a long while, but no response came.

This one‑sided notice caught Su Yang off guard.

It also gave him a deeper understanding of this world's cruel rules.

The Newbie Protection Period described by Yao Ri is spot on.

They are all greenhouse flowers.

Cared for, never exposed to wind or rain.

Even if they occasionally encounter the Old Era Remnant Faction, they are merely the pitiable ones who can't keep up with the version.

The reason the Eleventh Death Game gave them a chance.

Is because Yue Zhao pre‑planted an Anchor Point on Jiang Chengyu.

He forced open the Cross‑Era Matching Mechanism by exploiting a loophole.

Otherwise, they could never have met Su Yang so quickly.

Meanwhile, Yao Ri was also stirring things behind the scenes.

It can be said that all this was her scheme.

She used two lives to carve a path for Su Yang.

One—

A road unlike any before!

'Pressure... suddenly feels heavy,' Su Yang exhaled at length.

A sudden heavy burden landed on his Shoulder.

Receiving a gift itself is a very happy thing.

But this gift is a bit too heavy.

Sister Yao Ri didn't even ask whether he wanted it, just forced it into his hand.

Su Yang raised the Demon Emblem and placed it under the light bulb to examine.

The metal reflected a dazzling glare under the lamp.

"How can such an ordinary thing possess the powerful ability to break barriers?" Su Yang wondered.

His thought was simple—

It might be a sword, spear, axe, or halberd that can break the barrier.

A forceful slash could split the shield.

Now it seems he overthought it.

"Although it's a bit sudden, I gladly accept this gift!"

Su Yang slowly pinned the emblem onto his chest.

In an instant, Su Yang's eyes suddenly turned blood‑red.

A snarling, fierce Evil Ghost Phantom flashed behind him.

"Dong— dong—!"

The room door was suddenly pushed open.

"Su Yang, what are you shouting?"

Lin Yang felt a chill run through his whole body as soon as he entered, and his body shivered uncontrollably.

"Did you set the air‑conditioner to 16 degrees? Why is it so cold?"

He looked up and saw the vent tightly closed.

Then he glanced at the shut window, a bewildered look on his face.

The Demon Shadow had already vanished without a trace the instant Lin Yang entered the room.

Su Yang turned around and asked, "Anything?"

Lin Yang touched his head, looked around, and said, "No, I just heard you shouting outside, worried you might have run into a problem, so I came in to check."

However, after scanning every corner, he found no clue.

How strange.

"I clearly heard Su Yang calling for… sister," Lin Yang's doubt remained in his eyes.

But when he looked up and met Su Yang's gaze, he was suddenly stunned.

What did he see?

It was a pair of utterly indifferent eyes.

Deep as an abyss.

Staring at them felt as if invisible hands were pulling him in.

Even scarier was…

Lin Yang found himself unable to extricate himself.

Only when someone patted his shoulder did he snap back to his senses.

"Why do you look like you're possessed by a ghost? Did you encounter a demon?" Su Yang said with a smile.

Lin Yang blinked, suddenly noticing Su Yang's eyes had returned to their usual state.

Calm and composed.

His clear pupils were like a pool, containing no speck of impurity.

"You just…" Lin Yang began, then abruptly changed the subject, "The hot pot outside is ready, come out and eat."

"If you want to ask, just ask; there's no need to hide it from me," Su Yang said.

Lin Yang blurted out, "Why did you look like an Evil Ghost just now? One glance almost made me pee two drops in fright."

Su Yang couldn't help laughing, "That exaggerated?"

"Really!" Lin Yang nodded heavily, describing vividly, "You have no idea, I just thought a ghost had entered your room, and I almost couldn't hold back from pulling out a knife."

Su Yang turned, went to the Dressing Table, sat down, and slowly closed his eyes.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes.

His scarlet eyes were interspersed with abyssal blackness.

Malevolent aura was imposing, and killing intent boundless.

"Yes, yes, that's it!" Lin Yang quickly said.

A slight curve formed at Su Yang's mouth.

He looked even more demonic and charming.

His already handsome face now added a few extra distinctive airs.

It gave off a sense of distance.

Yet it was irresistibly captivating.
