The black scythe landed squarely on Li Xiang's body. When the blade pierced through his chest and blood splattered everywhere, Ming Xu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"What's going on? Was Li Xiang tricked? Why did his strength suddenly drop so much? " Ge Yuan stood up and stared at the screen as she muttered to herself. Li Xiang's previous opponents had the same question as her.
'What's with that fluctuating state?'
"It seems like it's either a secret technique or you're having trouble controlling the weight for the first time. No matter what, I'll take victory in this battle." Finis pulled out the black scythe and smiled slightly. He waited for Lu Sheng's body to shatter and turn into specks of light. Then, a pillar of light would descend and bring him to a higher place.
That should have been the case …
The black scythe stopped a few centimeters in front of his heart and did not go any further. Finis did not find it strange that someone of his level had protection over their heart. After all, that fatal wound was enough to defeat Li Xiang.
But after a few minutes, Li Xiang did not die.
"Hiss —"
Lu Sheng's chest was burning. It was the feeling of his blood boiling.
Li Xiang's vision blurred for a moment. The moment he released the core, the six chains that bound the Calamity Heart suddenly broke. Without the restraint of the chains, the Calamity Heart, which had been silent all this time, suddenly erupted with a terrifying commotion.
It was fighting with Li Xiang for control of his body.
This heart had been silent all this time, as if it had merged with Li Xiang's body. But in reality, it did not accept anything from him. It was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely take control of Li Xiang's body!
The Heart of Disaster's tenacity far exceeded Li Xiang's expectations. Even if it was just a Origin Substance clone, it still wanted to possess it.
The Heart of Disaster in his body beat violently, disrupting his aura. Even his magic circuit was forced out of its materialized state. It was sometimes high and sometimes low because it was constantly fighting with the Heart of Disaster.
And when external pressure came, it would temporarily yield and work together with Li Xiang to fight back. But when the pressure was reduced slightly, it became active again.
Wisps of strange black smoke slowly wrapped around Li Xiang's face.
Ming Xu and the other five saw it clearly and guessed the reason for his abnormality.
Baimiya, who had just finished her battle, turned on her screen and noticed that something was wrong with Li Xiang. Even the usually fearless Baimiya was worried about the consequences if Li Xiang's Calamity Heart was exposed.
"This damned idiot, must he force Li Xiang to this point?" She kept cursing Fenix in her heart, but at this moment, she could only wait and see like everyone else.
If they were discovered, it would be difficult for them to escape death.
In front of the giant screen, Dark Night Shadow, who had been drinking wine elegantly, suddenly spat out a mouthful of wine.
"The Ogheim Family …" She gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Hestria, who was standing at the side, gently touched her forehead. The Ogheim Family was going to be in big trouble.
The strange black energy soared into the sky, and the weather changed in the blink of an eye.
As if a pair of invisible hands had suddenly grabbed his throat, Fenix's expression became extremely ugly. He struggled to rush toward the protective shield, but was dragged back in front of Li Xiang like a little chick.
At this moment, Li Xiang's eyes were empty, and his body was surrounded by the aura of death, as if he was another creature.
In Fenix's eyes, he had transformed into a terrifying unknown existence.
That feeling was definitely not the Li Xiang that he had been fighting with all this time.
Many people saw his strange transformation, but almost immediately, they believed that it was a magic trick created by Dark Night Shadow, a trump card given to Li Xiang.
After all, the aura was too similar to that of a creature from the Shadow World, and Zhe Yuan had just displayed the transformation spell that she had learned from Dark Night Shadow.
Dark Night Shadow was a famous Shadow Magician, so it was normal for him to have such a terrifying technique.
But looking at Li Xiang's appearance, it was obvious that he had used it without fully mastering it.
"Should we stop this battle?" At the top of the sky, Felix stood in the air and looked down at the battle below.
This was the highest level of VIP seats. Only a small portion of the dozen or so seats were occupied by Source Form Avatars. Most of the seats were empty.
"There's no need. Even if they lost control, they're only using Source Form Avatars to fight." An old man who was curled up in a black cloak shook his head.
Everyone else was silent.
After a short while, a charming young woman sitting in the front row stroked her hair behind her ear and smiled sweetly. "Yes, it's rare to see two of the continent's top young people fight. Let's let the children of the Northern Continent learn more."
"What does the Dong Ling Family think?" Felix turned his gaze to the corner of the VIP seats. There was a projection of a woman wearing a light red kimono. The hem of her kimono was spread out like blooming cherry blossoms.
Half of her face was covered by a mask, and only half of her face was revealed. The Dong Ling Family member actually had a head of rarely seen long black hair. The charming young woman from the Northern Continent couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. When she saw the light golden Dong Ling Family emblem on the woman's neck and the Roman numeral "I" below it, her expression suddenly changed.
The playful expression from before disappeared instantly.
"I … I'll excuse myself for a moment."
"Cough, cough, cough. This old man also has something to do. I'll take my leave first."
The two Source Form Avatars left the VIP seats as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Felix sighed softly. They probably didn't see the woman in the corner when they said that they were just here to watch the show. Otherwise, they wouldn't have responded to his question in such a teasing manner.
The woman lowered her head and uttered a single word. Her voice was like that of a young girl.
"Continue."
After she expressed her opinion, the other onlookers who were eager to make a move immediately fell silent.
"Then I won't interfere." Felix nodded and floated back to the arena.
In the arena.
Li Xiang used the invisible giant hand to choke Fenix's throat. He was now in a very strange state. Even though it was his own body, he felt as if there were two consciousnesses controlling it at the same time. One of them was himself, and the other came from a faraway void.
The other party couldn't interfere with his actions or choices, but the other party's consciousness could influence his thoughts and thoughts.
He didn't intend to intimidate Fenix, but his hand moved on its own. He also felt a strange sense of pleasure.
Fenix was still struggling, but he couldn't break free from his control.
Near his body, there were some blue magic particles circling around. Whenever he looked at them, they would quickly condense together, as if they could immediately condense into an ice crystal wall — although it was completely ineffective against him in his current state.
"Is this the essence of the magic he inherited? His body's constitution attracts these magic particles. Whenever he encounters danger, they will condense on their own. In other words, this small portion of blue magic particles will always be affected by his constitution and will always circle around him. Even if there are fewer of them, they can be replenished immediately. "
Li Xiang felt that he could see more clearly through the eyes of disaster. The essence of this Origin Substance world and the things that could be broken down.
He felt an urge to destroy all the Origin Substances.
"Now his movements are so slow that it's as if they're still. The degree of change is too great." Li Xiang tried to reach out his arm. He saw Fenix's pupils dilate and his fear increase. The negative emotions on his body could easily break through his mental barrier and further corrupt him.
The black energy beam that outsiders couldn't see pierced Fenix's chest like a sharp sword. The Origin Substance clone couldn't withstand the attack of this energy at all. It began to disintegrate bit by bit, dissipating into the light pillar below him.
Everyone in front of the screen only saw that Li Xiang didn't move. Fenix floated in midair, looking as if he was in great pain. Then, a flower of blood suddenly bloomed from his chest. The Origin Substance clone had disintegrated.
This attack had been aimed at the heart. The pain was unimaginable.
However, what Fenix was more afraid of was the terrifying aura that had inexplicably invaded his mind. He had never encountered such negative emotions before. Compared to this, his black scythe and the Pursuer's attacks were like child's play.
He let out a muffled groan as his consciousness began to fade.
At the same time, Fenix, who was enveloped by the light pillar, began to bleed from his seven orifices. His entire body began to convulse, as if something was invading his body.
"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a battle between Origin Substance clones? Why is his main body so heavily injured? " A middle-aged man from the Dong Ling Clan, who was watching the battle, harrumphed coldly as he looked at Felix in the sky. "Did you not completely extract the Origin Substance clone? Is there still a bit of the main body's consciousness?"
"Are you doubting that person's magic?" Felix abruptly landed on the VIP seat. The other ten or so people remained silent. The woman in the corner, however, raised her head slightly and glanced at him.
That glance was like a knife, striking fear into everyone's heart.
Felix reined in his anger and bowed slightly. He said to the middle-aged man, "You can doubt my judgment, but please do not casually question the magic of the Chronometer Tower's scholars."
"Hmph, if anything happens to Fenix, I don't mind seeking justice from the Chronometer Tower. Others may be afraid of the Chronometer Tower, but the Dong Ling Clan is not. " The middle-aged man was a member of the Dong Ling Clan. Originally, his status was not high enough to sit here. However, he was Fenix's supporter this time, so he had the right to be a spectator.
As soon as his voice fell, the woman's heavenly voice followed closely behind.
"Hei Zhi, since when have you been able to represent the Dong Ling Clan?"
The middle-aged man named Hei Zhi abruptly stood up. Before he could say anything, the Origin Substance clone was sucked into the woman's stomach.
She reached out her hand and gently wiped her lower lip. Her fair arm was covered in red curses and strange bite marks. No one dared to look directly at them.
The woman lightly clenched her teeth, emitting a sound that made one's teeth ache.
What a lunatic. Felix felt cold sweat run down his back, but he still said, "Don't worry, First Lady. We will give the Dong Ling Clan an explanation."
"No need. After the final ranking, I will give him a small gift. In the future, none of you are allowed to approach this little guy." The woman lowered her head again, and the screen of light slowly dissipated.
"Yes." Felix nodded. He felt that things were getting more and more troublesome. From the looks of it, she had set her sights on Li Xiang. However, Li Xiang was backed by Night Shadow. These two women were not to be trifled with, so it was better to let them deal with it themselves.
He left the VIP seat and silently mourned for the guy named Hei Zhi. After the First Lady swallowed his Origin Substance clone, his vitality would be greatly damaged for a while, and he would have to endure that terrifying pain day and night.
First Lady.
This title originated from her husband, the current King of Dong Ling.
Before that, she had an even more resounding nickname.
Daughter of Disaster.
