Excessive ferocity due to caution

At this moment, Yunfang was caught in an extremely difficult choice.

On the one hand, her personality didn't quite support her abandoning her companions like that; on the other hand, she wasn't strong enough and wanted to compromise with her cowardice in the face of death.

Just as she was struggling with this decision, Zhao Yi's voice came from her mind.

"retreat."

Yunfang looked at Zhao Yi beside her in surprise.

The latter was still refining its own soul, without making a move.

"You...are you done?"

Yunfang asked uncertainly.

Zhao Yi replied:

"I have a hypothesis that I'd like to try."

Yunfang's expression was complicated.

She couldn't see the slightest fear or panic on Zhao Yi's face; his extreme composure soothed her inner anxiety.

She took a deep breath and nodded:

"Then be careful, I really can't hold on much longer..."

After saying this, Yunfang put away her soul magic weapon, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated backward!

As soon as she left this place, without the power of the laws to stop the ominous aura, Zhao Yi was almost instantly swallowed up by the dense ominous aura!

A black, rotting arm was still frantically clawing at the red-lacquered wooden door. The owner of one arm had almost reached out his shoulder, and ancient clothing was scattered on it, recreating an era that could no longer be traced.

In the distance, Yunfang nervously stood on tiptoe to look around.

The place where Zhao Yi was was shrouded in darkness, and she couldn't see clearly. She could only judge that Zhao Yi was not dead by the occasional blue light that emanated from within.

"..."

From the misty distance, whispers gradually drifted from where Zhao Yi was.

It was as if living beings were reciting fervently.

And there's more than one.

Gradually, these whispers began to mingle with roars and venomous curses, carrying a terrifying power.

"Trying to leave now...it's too late."

Suddenly, Zhao Yi's voice rang out.

Like the resounding toll of a bell, it echoed continuously in this area, dispelling much of the fog.

The blue light gradually began to be mixed with colors.

Yunfang stared intently at the location where Zhao Yi was in the distance, and she could see his body again.

At this moment, Zhao Yi was completely enveloped in colorful flames, containing extremely mysterious power, the source of which was the exquisite pagoda between Zhao Yi's eyebrows.

The malevolent thoughts that had previously seeped out from behind the door, carrying an ominous aura, were now all imprisoned within the exquisite tower!

These evil thoughts originated from behind the red-lacquered wooden door, sneaking out under the cover of an ominous aura.

It must be related to those black, rotting arms.

"Ahhhhh—"

Evil thoughts howled wildly within the Linglong Tower, coalescing into human faces with expressions of extreme pain and resentment!

"You deserve to die!!"

"How dare I!"

We will grind you to dust!

Crazy shouts and curses came from inside the exquisite pagoda, while dozens of arms on the other side of the red lacquered wooden door struggled more and more violently!

However, they were never able to escape from behind the red lacquered wooden door.

It seems that all they can do is extend a hand and unleash some evil intentions.

Even so, it's terrifying enough.

Yun Fang, who was in the distance, finally understood what Zhao Yi wanted to do. She was shocked and trembling with excitement!

"This madman... actually wants to melt his malevolent thoughts, brimming with ominous energy, into his new body!"

Yunfang was truly shocked.

Zhao Yi is not only bold and daring, but more importantly, he possesses many mysterious and powerful secrets that allow him to put his madness into action!

If it were her, Yunfang was certain that if she dared to play like Zhao Yi, she would most likely be completely devoured by evil thoughts!

But Zhao Yi... now actually wants to refine all these evil thoughts and dense ominous aura!

The three divine powers, like raging waves, flowed around the Linglong Pagoda, constantly providing it with a source of divine power. Zhao Yi saw divine light like torches, which transformed into shackles, binding all evil thoughts and refining them together with his own soul into a source of essence.

Those evil thoughts were naturally unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their death. They struggled frantically, attacking Zhao Yi's soul and the Linglong Pagoda. However, the Linglong Pagoda was too tough. Their curses, attacks, and even ominous breaths could not leave the slightest mark on the Linglong Pagoda!

Outsiders may not know, but Zhao Yi understands that this exquisite tower is actually his third incarnation.

Although, like "Eight Arms" and "Annihilation", it had to be greatly weakened because its soul was incompatible with the Church's Experiment No. 6, its strength is still extremely considerable!

At this moment, if Zhao Yi can successfully complete the transformation after severing himself, then there will no longer be a mismatch between his body and soul, and he will be able to slowly recover all the power of his first three bodies!

As the colorful flames continued to burn, the intense aura emanating from Zhao Yi gradually weakened.

All that remained was the pure divine power that permeated the Linglong Tower.

But this is not over yet.

Zhao Yi will continue to use the remaining consciousness to fuse the karma within him into the Linglong Pagoda!

boom!

A powerful impact came from behind the red lacquered wooden door, accompanied by a terrifying sound wave, attempting to influence Zhao Yi!

At the critical moment, Yunfang suddenly appeared and stopped these powerful impacts!

The situation has improved, and she doesn't want to see it worsen again because of her inaction.

Yunfang, who was experienced in the ways of the world, knew very well that she and Zhao Yi were now in the same boat. If something happened to Zhao Yi, her fate would be very bad!

Ding--

The sunset ring appeared, grew enormous, and split into hundreds, completely protecting the two of them!

Yunfang no longer held back, unleashing her full power to fight against the torrent emanating from behind the red lacquered wooden door, determined to fight to the death!

She had a vague feeling that Zhao Yi was her best chance to successfully take that step!

She must hold on tight!

When their gaze fell upon Zhao Yi, they noticed that the aura of a living person emanating from him was growing weaker and weaker.

Yunfang's heart was pounding. Having seen the "Severing Self" method left by Ren Wudi, she knew very well that of the three stages of Severing Self, the final stage of Severing Cause and Effect was the most troublesome and dangerous!

If anything goes wrong, even without external interference, it will be beyond saving!

"Gods and immortals high above the stars... please let him win this time!"

Yunfang prayed for Zhao Yi in her heart.

Although she had never believed in these things, it was the only thing she could do now.

Soon, Zhao Yi's life force completely disappeared.

The divine light in his eyes and the colorful flames around him died out at the same time.

A deathly silence descended upon me.

The exquisite pagoda between his brows no longer emitted a blue-green light, but instead disappeared into Zhao Yi's body.

Seeing this, Yunfang panicked.

After I am severed, doesn't the old self perish and the new self be born?

Where is Zhao Yi's new self?!

PS: Second update.

Goodnight, my darlings!
