Chapter 838 - 686: Traitor_2
Prince Zhenyuan and Eunuch Yang were also listening on the side.
They too were curious about how exactly to operate it.
The Eternal Body pondered for a moment before pointing again to the heart: "To resist the arrival of the Heavenly Demon, you must draw endless power from this heart and manipulate the body formed by my obsession to unleash all its power explosively."
"And the most crucial part is the manipulation."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin An immediately understood and frowned.
"You mean to say that I am to operate that terrifying body? How is that possible?"
He had already understood that to achieve the goal, the body composed of corpses must be used, leveraging its power.
However, to solve the problem, one must first control that body, but how to control it is a great conundrum.
The Eternal Body said lightly: "Exactly, Mr. Qin, you might need to enter the heart and endure the impact of countless obsessions."
"If you can withstand this impact, perhaps you can manipulate that body and gain the power to resist the Heavenly Demon."
"Of course, this endeavor is dangerous, extremely dangerous, and if you’re not careful, you’ll be influenced by the myriad obsessions, ultimately leading to endless downfall."
"Moreover, when acquiring the power of manipulation, the strange entity formed by countless corpses will surely retaliate, and I need to manipulate this heart to weaken its retaliation."
"Therefore, Mr. Qin and I cannot resist the leaked power, and we will need these two gentlemen to assist us."
Saying this, the Eternal Body’s gaze turned to Prince Zhenyuan and Eunuch Yang, the implication was clear, and even the roles had been assigned.
Qin An would enter the heart, endure the impact of obsessions, and find a way to control the strange entity formed by countless corpses.
The Eternal Body would be responsible for weakening the resistance exerted by that strange entity, and as for the residual resistance, Prince Zhenyuan and Eunuch Yang would act as the final line of defense to withstand it entirely.
This would create the best possible space for Qin An.
Qin An pondered and then nodded: "Alright, I agree."
His agreement was resolute because there was no other option now.
The first is that strange entity, the second is the external Emperor Tianwu, and the third is that the Heavenly Demon is about to arrive.
Together, these three leaves Qin An with only this one path.
Prince Zhenyuan said solemnly: "Mr. Qin, proceed without worry. As long as Mr. Qin hasn’t finished over there, Eunuch Yang and I will stay to the end, even at the cost of our lives."
Eunuch Yang also said: "I am ready to die in battle, please Mr. Qin, fight without holding back."
Both expressed their determination.
Qin An did not hesitate and then looked at the Eternal Body.
The Eternal Body hadn’t expected Qin An to agree so resolutely, merely praising him: "Worthy of the Savior."
Then, the Eternal Body raised a hand and pointed in mid-air at the strange heart.
The strange heart immediately ruptured with a crack, within which thousands of obsessions swirled, exuding an aura of terror.
"Savior, go in."
Qin An nodded slightly, said nothing more, and then soared into the air, leaping into the dark fissure.
As he leaped inside, he felt a sliver of darkness rapidly expanding, enveloping him heavily, followed by the crack behind him closing abruptly.
As the crack closed, terrifying obsessions surged toward him immediately.
Qin An immediately circulated the invisible Dharma Aspect, enveloping his entire body to resist the impact of the obsessions.
Each time an obsession impacted, it would diminish slightly.
And Qin An’s Void Essence was also being continuously depleted.
This was a tug-of-war, requiring time to slowly smooth out until all the obsessions dissipated.
Fortunately, the obsessions within the heart were not as terrifying as those outside, and Qin An’s progress was smooth.
It’s just that his consciousness was a bit hazy in his mind.
As Qin An resisted these obsessions, the Eternal Body outside suddenly opened his hands and leaped into the air above the heart.
Immediately, his legs melted, merging with the heart.
At this moment, a terrifying obsession came rushing like a torrent, attempting to erode the heart.
But the power emanating from the Eternal Body weakened this obsession to a certain extent.
However, some of it leaked out.
The Eternal Body shouted: "Gentlemen, I need you!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhenyuan and Eunuch Yang nodded together.
The two took action consecutively, dispersing the remaining obsessions.
More and more obsessions surged once again.
Yet the two continued to act, and with excellent cooperation, managed to barely withstand the impact of these obsessions.
At this moment, everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
The Eternal Body integrated with the heart, showing a slight relaxed smile.
"Very well, if things continue like this, the Savior will surely absorb the obsessions inside, controlling the corpse outside, and will also delay the arrival of the Heavenly Demon."
Prince Zhenyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
This journey was perilous, but fortunately, the final result was favorable.
Although after dealing with the Heavenly Demon’s arrival, they still had to face the external Emperor Tianwu.
But for now, resolving this matter was the priority.
As for Emperor Tianwu, it would be something to confront later.
The only one who was different was Eunuch Yang.
Though he and Prince Zhenyuan were jointly resisting the impact of the obsessions exerted by that strange entity, wielding the yin-aspected Void Essence, as he gazed at Prince Zhenyuan, there was an unnoticed flash of contemplation in his eyes.
After the contemplation appeared, Eunuch Yang fell into a complex dilemma, as though torn about whether to do something.
But after a moment, this look of dilemma turned into a trace of ruthlessness, and it seemed he had made a decision.
Eunuch Yang took a deep breath and suddenly struck a palm towards Prince Zhenyuan.
At this moment, Prince Zhenyuan was confronting a wave of obsessions, and when he felt the incoming palm wind, he instinctively swung his spear in a sweeping motion.
"Boom!"
A terrifying roar sounded.
His figure was knocked back several steps, barely stabilizing himself.
But some obsessions surged forward.
The Eternal Body confronted them head-on for Prince Zhenyuan, showing a look of astonishment, as if he didn’t understand why this scene was happening before him.
Prince Zhenyuan said in a deep voice: "Why? Why attack me?"
Eunuch Yang didn’t explain, continuously striking with his palms, the terrifying yin energy overwhelming and surging at Prince Zhenyuan like a covering sky.
Prince Zhenyuan repeatedly wielded his long spear, scattering those obsessions along with it.
But he retreated continuously, a trickle of blood already seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"I understand now, there is a spy for the Heavenly Demon among the high ranks, and you are that spy!"
"We were always wondering who among the high ranks it was, thought of everyone like General, the Prime Minister, the Dean, but never thought it would be you, you castrated dog!"
At this moment, Prince Zhenyuan finally understood, and knew why Eunuch Yang had attacked him.
This man was the spy for the Heavenly Demon.
This time, knowing that the Sea of Hope could delay the arrival of the Heavenly Demon, Eunuch Yang had unhesitantly volunteered to be here, just for this moment.
Eunuch Yang’s eyes flashed with a hint of resentment: "I didn’t want to either, but ever since I gained that endless power, I knew what choice I had to make."
"You are all whole, but I don’t even have any offspring, to restore myself as a man, I can only rely on the Heavenly Demon’s power."
"I want you all to die, as long as Qin An dies today, and you all die, then the Heavenly Demon will descend here, the world will be destroyed, and I will be able to restore myself as a man!"
Prince Zhenyuan was furious, repeatedly thrusting his spear at Eunuch Yang.
But Eunuch Yang parried with his palms, intercepting such advances.
"You are already badly injured, and now also disturbed by obsessions, you cannot stop me, today I will first kill you!"
