Chapter 506: Killing Desire Out of Control
Hua Changxi tried several times, but the weak flame at her fingertips just emerged, only to be ruthlessly pinched out by the cold wind that permeated everything in the air.
Ghost fire is ultimately dependent on ghost energy to burn. She is not a real Ghost Clan member and does not have a continuous supply of ghost energy.
"It seems I can only move forward in the dark."
After confirming that she couldn't light the ghost fire, Hua Changxi quickly adjusted her state and raised her five senses to the extreme.
She had the black broken blade, so even if her line of sight was blocked, she could find the direction to move forward, and she wouldn't be reduced to a headless fly.
Hua Changxi began to carefully grope and move in the darkness.
However, the danger of the fourth layer of the Nine Nether abyss was far more hidden and fatal than she had imagined.
The thick darkness like ink was not the most terrifying; the most terrifying was the air here—not only did the cold wind scrape the bones, but it also emitted an unpleasant smell.
Every time she breathed, the cold air mixed with rust and rotten bones drilled into her nasal cavity, and then spread rapidly to her limbs and bones along the meridians.
Hua Changxi felt that her blood seemed to be getting cold and freezing bit by bit, and the surface of her skin felt a tingling and stinging sensation like being gnawed by thousands of ants.
The turbid energy of the Nine Nether was frantically eroding her physical body!
The turbid energy in the first three layers of the Nine Nether territory also eroded the physical body, but not as severely as in the fourth layer of the abyss. The erosion here reached the soul body.
After being eroded, the operation of soul power became sticky and stagnant, as if falling into a deep mud swamp.
Hua Changxi only felt that every time she operated soul power, it took several times more energy than in the outside world, and the effect was greatly reduced.
Physical erosion and stagnant soul power operation, although making people feel heavy, were not what Hua Changxi was most worried about.
What Hua Changxi was most worried about was that being in the fourth layer of the Nine Nether abyss, her negative emotions were being quickly mobilized and infinitely magnified.
Here, loneliness is magnified into despair, fear is magnified into collapse, and the desire to kill is infinitely magnified into a madness that wants to drag the whole world to be buried with her.
Only the cold wind whistling remained in her ears, and the sound drilled into her eardrums, as if someone was sticking to her ear and provoking her with a sneer.
In a trance, an extreme voice emerged from the bottom of Hua Changxi's heart: This place is full of malice; if you want to live, you must destroy all threats first.
Thoughts of violence and destruction swept through her heart like a tide. If it weren't for the severe stinging pain from the black fish pattern on the back of her right hand reminding her at all times, she would have almost been unable to control herself, taken out the black broken blade, and swept across the Nine Nether.
Hua Changxi's lips opened and closed quickly, silently reciting the Heart-Clearing Mantra, trying to suppress the various negative emotions surging in her heart; while following the vibration of the black broken blade, she continued to move forward in the darkness.
'The negative energy of the fourth layer of the abyss is too strong. Should I continue to the fifth layer of the abyss? Should I just forget it?'
'But, Soul Nightmare Valley has many precious and rare soul plants. If I miss this village, there won't be this shop.'
Along the way, these two voices kept fighting in Hua Changxi's mind.
Negative emotions not only magnified fear but also pushed the greed in her heart to the extreme.
Because of the confidence brought by the black broken blade and the fluke mentality of gambling, greed eventually defeated fear, prompting her to continue moving forward.
On the way to the Chongyuan Mouth from the fourth layer of the Nine Nether abyss, Hua Changxi didn't meet many people.
In order not to fuel the desire to kill in her heart, as long as she perceived strange auras approaching in the surroundings, she would bypass them without hesitation, preferring to walk a little more road than to face others head-on.
Under the guidance of the black broken blade, she finally arrived near the fourth Chongyuan Mouth.
However, looking at the bottomless Chongyuan Mouth, she stopped and didn't dare to approach rashly.
There was no other reason; around the Chongyuan Mouth, many forces had already gathered—some in groups of three or five, some in groups of dozens, with mixed auras and hidden killing intent.
Hua Changxi actually saw the Bone Lady she had encountered before, as well as the five human practitioners carrying the sedan, among them.
What made her eyes sink even more was that among those forces, there were also the Asura Gate disciples she had always wanted to find.
The various forces were in a state of confrontation, with swords drawn and bows bent, as if no one could easily step into the Chongyuan Mouth.
Hua Changxi originally thought that when she arrived at the Nine Nether, the human race would naturally be at a disadvantage. But the next scene made her pupils shrink and feel shocked.
The one who started the war first was actually the Asura Gate disciples!
Without any warning, an Asura Gate person raised his hand, and a cluster of dark black flames suddenly rose in his palm.
He flicked his fingertips, and the black flames shot out like a living thing, instantly sinking into the center of the eyebrows of a Ghost Clan member opposite.
That Ghost Clan member stiffened, the ferocious look in his eyes originally aimed at other forces changed suddenly, and he actually turned around without warning, hacking at his companions beside him without hesitation!
It wasn't just one person!
All the Asura Gate disciples attacked at the same time, and the black flames were like threads, drilling into the bodies of practitioners of different tribes.
The war broke out completely!
The various tribes controlled by the black flames, except for the Asura Gate disciples, were all ruthless when facing others, each move taking lives.
Hua Changxi hid in the distance, holding her breath, feeling horrified in her heart.
This means of the Asura Gate to control others through black flames was far more bizarre and terrifying than she had imagined!
"Hmm?"
The disciples of the Asura Gate practiced the Yin Flame path and were extremely sensitive to the aura of Yin Flame.
Yin Flame triggers the negative desires of people. Although such things as desires are colorless, odorless, formless, and shapeless, for those who practice this path, they can be perceived within a certain range.
In the chaotic battle, an Asura Gate disciple seemed to sense something, and his gaze suddenly turned to where Hua Changxi was hiding.
The next moment, he began to chant the spell to control the black flames.
In the distance, Hua Changxi, who originally thought the chaotic battle at the Chongyuan Mouth had nothing to do with her, felt her heart shrink suddenly, as if it were being gripped hard by an invisible hand.
Immediately after, a seductive whisper sounded in her mind—kill all the forces in the Nine Nether!
"Not good!"
Hua Changxi's heart shook violently, only to feel a cold will forcibly invade her mind, trying to control her.
If it were in the human world, she might not have fallen for it.
However, this is the fourth layer of the Nine Nether abyss.
The negative emotions in her heart were already mobilized and magnified. Now that someone was inducing her, even though the back of her right hand was already numb with pain, it couldn't pull back her sanity.
Hua Changxi stood up slowly, black flames churning in her eyes, and the black broken blade appeared in response. The next moment, her figure was like a ghost, rushing into the battlefield!
The blade edge cut through the air, and wherever it passed, the Nine Nether tribes controlled by the black flames fell one after another, their spirits dissipated, and their bodies shattered.
Hua Changxi was full of killing intent, like a god of death descending, regardless of friend or foe, hacking them all with one blade!
The Asura Gate disciples were shocked, especially the one who controlled the black flames.
Hua Changxi's black flames were obviously more vigorous. He suffered a backlash, vomited blood, his aura flowed backward, and he had no resistance. Soon, he was hacked to death by Hua Changxi who rushed over.
"Run!"
The moment Hua Changxi appeared, the Bone Lady's gaze had been stuck on the black broken blade in her hand.
Watching Hua Changxi sweep across the Nine Nether tribes like chopping melons and vegetables, the look of horror on her face could no longer be hidden, and she urged Chu Junyi and the other five to escape with a sharp voice.
Even if the Bone Lady didn't speak, Chu Junyi and the other five only wanted to escape as far as possible at this moment.
"Xiu~"
The white bone sedan turned into a lingering shadow and flew into the Chongyuan Mouth instantly.
A quarter of an hour later, the chaotic battle in front of the Chongyuan Mouth came to an abrupt end.
The ground was covered with corpses, and the air was filled with heavy turbid energy and the filthy aura of soul power dissipating.
Hua Changxi stood with the blade.
As the Asura Gate disciples fell, the will of forced control dissipated, coupled with the stinging reminder of the black fish pattern, the desire to kill in her heart finally stopped growing.
Sensing that the black broken blade in her hand was vibrating violently, Hua Changxi, who had regained some sanity, quickly put it back into the Shennong Cauldron, not letting the broken blade devour the corpses all over the ground.
Afterwards, she passed through the mess and walked towards the Chongyuan Mouth, her eyes filled with cold indifference, but her brows were always tightly locked.
She actually felt refreshed in the slaughter!
Sanity reminded her that this feeling was extremely dangerous and she should leave the Nine Nether as soon as possible and not continue to go deeper, but sanity ultimately failed to defeat desire, and Hua Changxi still walked to the Chongyuan Mouth and jumped into it. ===== CHAPTER 507 =====
