The Instinctive Suppression

This claw, shrouded in black mist and dripping with blood, with bits of flesh still clinging to its tip, exuded a malevolent energy.

This Evil Energy was even more evil than his own aura.

Black blood trickled from the corner of the Gaunt Man's mouth. He pressed down on the claw and turned around in disbelief.

Behind him, Shentu Nantian, whose hair had turned completely white and whose face was ashen, stared at him with eyes that had no black pupils, only whites.

Shentu Nantian's facial expression was as ferocious as a wild beast, and he had completely lost his mind.

"What exactly are you...?"

The Gaunt Man coughed violently, and streams of black blood gushed from his mouth.

He never expected that his companion would suddenly go into a frenzy and attack him from behind!

He used all his strength to defend against Yi Yun's attacks, leaving his back completely unguarded, which allowed Shentu Nantian to strike and destroy his physical body in one blow.

"Snap!"

A flash of Sword Light, another fatal attack. Yi Yun appeared before the Gaunt Man as if by teleportation, piercing his heart with a single sword strike!

Flames hissed and burned on the broken sword, scorching the Gaunt Man's black flesh and blood, emitting a stench reminiscent of burning a corpse.

The Gaunt Man stared blankly at the broken sword embedded in his body, then followed the hand that held the sword to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun, with a cold expression, gently took the Sound Transmission Token still clutched in the Gaunt Man's hand.

"Call--"

Flames rose, and a token was scorched into molten gold by the Pure Yang Flame.

After eliminating this potential threat, Yi Yun did not stop there. He activated his Pure Yang Vital Energy to seal off the surrounding space, forming a net of Pure Yang Flame.

Yi Yun knew that the Gaunt Man in front of him had only had his physical body destroyed; his Yin Sha Main Body was still alive, and Yi Yun certainly wouldn't let it escape.

"Why...?"

The Gaunt Man's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness. In this battle, the situation changed drastically, and he still didn't understand what had happened to "Shentu Nantian".

Although he didn't understand, he firmly believed that all of this was related to Yi Yun, especially now that Yi Yun had cut off his last escape route, leaving him with no chance of survival.

He glared at Yi Yun with venomous hatred, spitting out a few words through gritted teeth, "I want you to die with me!"

"Call out!"

A black beam of light shot out from between the brows of the Gaunt Man, the tip of which was a black skull, and it shot straight at Yi Yun's brow!

Yi Yun knew that this black skull was the Gaunt Man's Yin Sha Main Body!

Knowing it had no hope of survival, the Yin energy attempted to rush into Yi Yun's soul sea.

If Yi Yun's strength is insufficient, he will be directly Body Snatching by this Gaunt Man.

However, in reality, Yi Yun was very strong and had powerful mental strength. The Gaunt Man knew that it was impossible to directly Body Snatching Yi Yun in his peak state, so he thought of rushing into Yi Yun's soul sea and self-destructing to perish together with Yi Yun!

Yi Yun was prepared; he held his sword horizontally in front of him and retreated swiftly.

"Boom!"

The explosion of Pure Yang Vital Energy slowed the black skull's momentum, and in that instant, screams rang out, clearly indicating that the fragile Yin Sha Main Body had been injured.

Having made preparations, Yi Yun naturally wouldn't be allowed to successfully self-destruct.

Just as he was about to completely destroy this Yin energy, suddenly—

"Huh!"

A piercing, ghostly scream emanated from Shentu Nantian. His face was ashen, and his pupils were deathly white. Suddenly, Shentu Nantian opened his mouth, revealing a set of sharp teeth.

"Call out!"

A stream of black energy shot out from Shentu Nantian's mouth, striking the flying skull head!

Black energy enveloped the skull, which was only the size of a finger joint, and no matter how much the skull struggled, it could not escape.

In just a few breaths, the skull was completely engulfed by the black energy.

"Aaaaaah!"

Yi Yun heard a series of screams. The black, Evil Energy spread out many black energy threads, which pierced into the skull and began to absorb the Yin energy within it!

The Evil Energy, carrying the skull, flew back into Shentu Nantian's mouth!

Shentu Nantian shut his mouth, as if nothing had happened.

Yi Yun was astonished to see this!

He activated the Purple Crystal, awakening the Evil Energy that had already occupied Shentu Nantian's soul sea. However, unexpectedly, after this Evil Energy awakened, it not only devoured the Yin Sha residing in Shentu Nantian's body, taking over and controlling Shentu Nantian, but it was also able to separate a portion of Evil Energy to devour the Yin Sha within the Gaunt Man's body as well!

Now, the Gaunt Man's Yin energy has been swallowed into Shentu Nantian's body and is being slowly digested!

This situation was completely unexpected for Yi Yun.

At this moment, Shentu Nantian turned around and looked at Yi Yun with resentment. His face was ferocious and his eyes revealed endless killing intent.

He gripped his bloodied claws, seemingly about to strike at any moment.

Seeing this, Yi Yun understood that the "Shentu Nantian" body, which was controlled by the Evil Energy, was actively attacking the Gaunt Man not because it was completely under his control, but because the Evil Energy itself wanted to kill the Gaunt Man and devour the Yin energy within Gaunt Man.

It wants to become stronger!

An energy source with its own consciousness—this is extremely bizarre!

However bizarre it may be, it still cannot escape the control of the Purple Crystal.

Back when Shentu Nantian was still alive, this energy was completely suppressed by the Purple Crystal. It was originally hidden, and even the Lin family's Supreme Elder could not discover it. In the end, however, it was easily extracted from the Empress's relic by Yi Yun.

It has grown so much over time, but it's still useless!

Purple Crystal, as the source of energy for all things in the universe, has an absolute suppressive power against this Evil Energy.

With a thought, Yi Yun connected his spiritual power to the Purple Crystal, and the power of the Purple Crystal spread out, enveloping Shentu Nantian's entire body like a large net.

Enveloped by the power of the Purple Crystal, Shentu Nantian shrank back, revealing an instinctive fear.

He no longer dared to attack Yi Yun, but looked at Yi Yun with some fear. The Evil Energy had a survival instinct, and it could sense that Yi Yun, who possessed the Purple Crystal, could easily subdue it. It had no choice but to submit to Yi Yun.

Yi Yun looked at Shentu Nantian, or more accurately, he used his Energy Vision to look at the Evil Energy within Shentu Nantian's body.

This Evil Energy has completely taken over Shentu Nantian's soul sea. It splits into countless threads, penetrating every inch of Shentu Nantian's meridians and taking control of his physical body.

An energy slowly devoured Yin Sha's soul, and then completely occupied and controlled this body, which sounds unbelievable.
