This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 170 Killing the Small Beast, Gray Orb

"Howl—!!!"

The little beast howled in pain, unable to hold back any longer, and its body instantly swelled up, returning to its original size.

Click click~

With a cracking sound, a demonic body over ten meters tall was revealed.

However, Ye Yang was not afraid at all. His moves were as smooth as flowing water as he slapped down with his claw!

Mouth!

The beast's head instantly developed a wound several tens of centimeters deep, and its demonic aura emanated from it.

"Spare me! I was sent here by the Dharma Protector—."

The strange beast repeatedly sent telepathic messages, realizing it couldn't win and wanting to beg for mercy, but Ye Yang condensed his divine sense into a sword and suddenly thrust it down!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even if the beast realized Ye Yang's strength and wanted to resist, it was too late.

In less than 0.01 seconds, Ye Yang unleashed several attacks, killing it.

Then, he began to manipulate the laws of the void, disrupting spacetime with all his might.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it! Untie me! Untie me!"

Ye Yang wanted to break the void seal, but he couldn't.

After trying for a while but still unable to break through, Ye Yang silently floated in this void.

Upon calming down and thinking it over, the Hengxing system, where the Jili Daomai is located, shouldn't be so easily breached.

It wouldn't be easy for the Void Order to concentrate such a large force to destroy a star system guarded by more than a hundred True Immortals.

Sending a demonic beast to infiltrate the planet they are stationed on to find them is a more feasible option.

After Ye Yang figured it out, he stopped rushing; there was no point in rushing anyway.

"Not only is space stretched out here, but time is also stretched out. If I can't find the reason for maintaining the void seal, I'm afraid I'll be trapped here until I die and never get out."

Time flows extremely fast here; only a very short time should have passed outside. Ye Yang is unable to contact the outside world and must find a way himself.

Now not only is his first clone trapped, but his second clone is also trapped!

Ye Yang originally planned to leave his second clone, the first Golden Horned Beast, on the Dao Vein's home planet, while his first clone, in human form, would go to participate in the selection and training for the "Enlightenment Project".

Therefore, both clones are currently in one place, with the second clone cultivating within its inner world.

Now they're all trapped.

"This demonic beast from the Void Cult is dead, but the Void Seal remains. If it's not being maintained from the outside, then the reason lies with this demonic beast."

Ye Yang turned his gaze to the collar around the monster's neck, walked closer, and found four characters on the collar: "Jia 40" (Is it a number or a name?).

He continued searching and found the bell where the collar was pressed down by the corpse.

A bell with a diameter of approximately 20 centimeters.

Ye Yang frowned. He hadn't noticed it before when he hadn't observed it closely, but now he could see that the bell was subtly distorting spacetime within a very small and minute range.

However, his soul did not hear any fluctuations in this space-time.

"Could this be the strange thing?"

For a fifth-tier demon beast to be able to infiltrate a heavily guarded Dao vein stronghold, it must be something extraordinary.

They either possess special abilities or carry special treasures.

If it had special abilities, such as the ability to hide itself and disappear without a trace, this monster would have used them when it was being brutally beaten by Ye Yang.

Therefore, he must have brought some kind of special treasure.

Ye Yang thought for a moment, then inserted his fingers into the gap of the bell and forcibly opened it!

Although this action was somewhat dangerous, he was currently trapped in a lockdown and in a hurry to get out and check the situation, so he couldn't care less about anything else.

As Ye Yang unwrapped the metal casing of the bell, a hazy, translucent bead was revealed inside.

The bead has an incredibly smooth and round surface, and a diameter of 16.1803 centimeters. At first glance, it looks ordinary and unremarkable, like a typical translucent glass bead.

But when Ye Yang's divine sense came into contact with the bead, a strange aura, which he couldn't quite describe as either icy or scorching, surged into his consciousness, invigorating him.

Darkness that brings peace of mind.

The stars gradually dimmed and went out—yet he felt incredibly at ease. Ye Yang felt as if he were lying on a comfortable, soft bed, his body able to stretch out freely, utterly liberated—

Buzz!

Something was vibrating slightly, but Ye Yang remained unmoved.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Boom!

A loud noise finally jolted Ye Yang awake. He paused for a moment, then quickly took out the inherited magic artifact of the "Tai Xu Refining God Method".

"Void erosion rate - 0.2025%?!"

"Oh my god!"

Ye Yang was shocked and quickly threw away the hazy gray bead.

Previously, his void erosion level was only 0.0012%, but now, just by probing the bead with his divine sense, it instantly increased to 0.2025%.

Is it?

It increased by 168 times!

The recommended course of action for inherited magical artifacts is to seek medical help if the rate exceeds 0.21%, and Ye Yang is now approaching that threshold. "What the hell is this thing?!"

Ye Yang stared at the gray, translucent bead with extreme apprehension, but as he looked at it again, he could gradually sense the strong aura of emptiness emanating from it.

vast!

Hollow!

The price surge of "Never Stop Singing"!

It subtly tried to draw Ye Yang's mind into it, guiding him back into that special state.

"No, now I can't even look at it anymore."

Ye Yang quickly shook his head.

However, he was also surprised to find that his understanding of the laws of the void had increased sixfold without him even realizing it.

Years of comprehending the laws of the void have yielded less than the gains made in that brief moment just now.

Could it be—

Ye Yang thought of the Devouring World, the Chaos Stele in Chaos City, the Beast God Inheritance of the Ancestral God Sect, and the Beast God Statue on the Blood Luo Continent, etc.

These inheritances or items all have the ability to emit a certain aura or bestow a certain power, bringing cultivators closer to a certain path and greatly accelerating their progress in comprehending the laws in a short period of time.

After obtaining the Golden Beast God Statue in the Blood Luo World, Luo Feng, through comprehending the Beast God's intent on it and working with the Linmu Statue, mastered more and more of the Beast God's intent, greatly increasing his attack power.

In addition, the Beast God statue made Luo Feng's analysis of the essence of space smoother and faster.

And this hazy gray bead in front of us seems to have a similar function?

Was what he just sensed the "state of mind" of "emptiness"?

Ye Yang subconsciously licked his lips, then shook his head, trying hard to suppress the desire in his heart.

"No, this is a conspiracy by the Void Order, a sugar-coated bullet!"

"Comprehending this gray bead and grasping the essence of emptiness will undoubtedly lead to a leap in strength, but it will also certainly plunge one into the abyss!"

"But I—the more I try to forget the wonderful feeling of emptiness I just experienced, the more uncomfortable and painful I feel, as if I'm losing something extremely important. Damn it! Is emptiness poisonous?"

Ye Yang's expression grew increasingly grim. As he realized he couldn't follow his inner desires to comprehend the bead, a surge of resentment...

A feeling of heartache and regret welled up inside me, incredibly intense!

It feels like life would lose its meaning without this bead.

Without the ability to perceive the essence of emptiness, life is utterly joyless and heartbreaking!

But this also shows that the situation is extremely critical and serious.

Ye Yang's consciousness had been distorted and altered in that brief moment, and the lingering void imagery from his memories was rapidly spreading and expanding.

It erodes all of Ye Yang's memories, thoughts, and personality.

If left unchecked, one will eventually be unable to resist this addictive urge.

The level of this void realm is too high. With Ye Yang's current cultivation level and Dao heart, it is simply impossible for him to resist it.

"Go to hell, you trying to seduce me?"

Ye Yang gritted his teeth and entered the Devouring World with his consciousness.

On the planet Cuiyan in the Cuilang Starfield of the primordial universe.

The second Golden Horn clone and the second human clone simultaneously widened their eyes, their expressions crazed: "Let's begin! Let's just begin!"

"Either be reborn, or die!"

Ye Yang would never allow himself to degenerate into a believer in the void.

In his first true rebirth and self-recreation, Ye Yang unified his two avatars, integrating his human and first-generation Golden Horned Beast forms into one.

At the same time, it also integrates the laws of heaven and earth.

The Soul of the Void has been integrated into one-third of its essence.

The battle of geniuses, by leveraging the invincible momentum forged from defeating countless geniuses, propelled the true essence to perfection, entering a state where a second rebirth could be performed at any time.

All it takes is a trigger – Ye Yang has been waiting for this trigger.

However, now that he feels himself being influenced by some terrifying rules and an aura and artistic conception that far exceeds his level, Ye Yang can no longer care about any opportunity or not.

I don't care about the risks of failure or even death anymore!

Now, let's begin the second true Nirvana!

As the two clones of the soul actively broke free from the sea of ​​consciousness of the physical body, and the souls left the body and gradually dissipated into the universe, Ye Yang's consciousness also triggered the recycling mechanism of the Gate of All Heavens.

Without hesitation, he reversed the true meaning: self, past, belief, the Great Way—all vanished, all became nothing!

The only way to remove the void realm that erodes and distorts consciousness is through utter death.

All Ye Yang could do was kill himself!

Suppressing the Golden Horned Beast? Savior of Earth? No!

A battle of geniuses? An invincible force? No!

A path to the fusion of space and time? Understanding the essence of space? Surpassing all other geniuses of the same level?

Deny them all!

These are all meaningless.

Once all the "anchors" are removed, the "self" itself loses its meaning.

Consciousness returned to a deathly stillness, without a trace of fluctuation, awaiting only the return of its body to the Immortal Alliance Master's world, bringing with it both bodies in the main world to their inevitable demise.

However, the consciousness that seemed to have no fluctuations, the consciousness that seemed to be completely still, suddenly began to beat!

"Aaaaaaah!"

"My precious pearl! That's my precious pearl!"

"We can't give up!"

Ye Yang screamed in agony, his eyes now completely crazed.

"With the jewel, I can surpass everyone! It's my destiny! A destiny given to me by heaven! How could I possibly give it up?"

"Without it, how can I maintain my excellence? How can I remain the number one genius in the Primal Secret Realm? How can I keep suppressing Luo Feng and prevent him from surpassing me?"

"I must have this bead!"

"We can't give up!!!"

He screamed wildly, but his face split open from the middle, and Ye Yang, with an extremely calm look in his eyes, struggled to emerge from it, as if shedding his skin.
