Chapter 1306: Nearly Lost
Yang Yan stood in the second layer of the palace, feeling the surrounding darkness, already shrouded in thick evil energy, the atmosphere seemed extremely oppressive.
For a moment, Yang Yan felt it difficult to breathe and had to gather his Qi to settle his mind.
He suddenly realized that not only was there evil energy here, but there was also the evil thoughts of Evil Soldiers, constantly affecting his mind.
Fortunately, he had Wish Power to aid him, otherwise he would have lost his sense upon entering and fallen into illusions.
If the evil energy eroded further, he would soon become part of the Evil Spirit Army.
Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, and simultaneously released part of his internal Wish Power, firmly protecting his body and isolating himself from the surrounding evil energy.
Then, he once again focused his mind, injecting Wish Power without reservation into Nascent Void.
Because to repair the seal here, it ultimately depended on Nascent Void.
The stronger its power, the greater the chance of success.
At that moment, Yang Yan suddenly felt a moment of confusion in his mind, as demonic sounds echoed in his sea of consciousness.
He wanted to resist, but it was already too late.
Damn!
Earlier he thought he had luckily avoided being controlled by the evil energy, but now it seems it was merely wishful thinking.
He protected his whole body with Wish Power, but the evil thought had already hidden in his heart.
After a period of dormancy, as soon as he consumed almost all of his Wish Power, it jumped out.
Evil is evil indeed, truly despicable!
For a moment, Yang Yan saw countless illusions before him.
Emotions like arrogance, jealousy, anger, sloth, greed, lust, and gluttony continually spread in his bloodline and soul.
Gradually, these emotions turned into flames of different colors, continuously burning him.
He felt completely engulfed by these seven-colored flames, sinking into an endless deep sea.
In a dazed state, a golden shimmer appeared in front of him.
Is this...
Wish Power?
Yang Yan had a feeling of déjà vu.
But simultaneously, a feeling of rejection arose in his heart, wanting to extinguish it.
However, this golden brilliance grew increasingly stronger, illuminating the endless deep sea before him.
Then the seven-colored flames were scattered by this golden radiance.
Suddenly, Yang Yan awoke with a start.
What a close call!
Yang Yan realized what had just happened, feeling a wave of fear, his back soaked with sweat.
Nascent Void’s voice suddenly echoed: "Truly fortunate, I called you and you didn’t respond, almost fell into that Demon Soldier’s trap."
"I was too careless myself, almost fell into an irretrievable situation," Yang Yan said with a sigh.
Nascent Void smiled wryly: "It’s my fault for coming too hastily, I didn’t inform you, the Evil Spirit Halberd has the power to confuse the mind. From now on, remember to guard your mind and avoid being deceived again."
Yang Yan understood clearly, the reason he managed to escape and avoid falling into the Demon Dao was entirely due to Nascent Void’s relentless burning of Wish Power.
It should be known that Wish Power inherently possesses the power to dispel all evil.
But the evil thought could infiltrate Yang Yan’s mind and nearly control it completely, showing its terrifying nature.
Finally, Nascent Void had to forcibly burn Wish Power to disperse this evil thought.
Yang Yan didn’t dare to be pompous, quickly followed Nascent Void’s reminder to focus his mind, gather Qi, and recite the calming method silently.
Once his heart was calm, he simply removed the barrier formed by the surrounding Wish Power.
Once he was certain of no longer being influenced by evil energy, he turned towards where the Evil Spirit Halberd was.
Only to see it seemingly wrapped in a thick haze, making it impossible to see the specific situation clearly.
Yang Yan didn’t hesitate, directly walked towards there.
As he got closer, he finally saw that the Array in this place had many dim areas, obviously eroded by evil energy and was damaged.
The Evil Spirit Halberd’s evil energy continuously spread through those damaged areas, completely shrouding the second layer.
Yang Yan stood before the slightly damaged seal, seeing the entire Evil Spirit Halberd black and flashing with bright red light, capturing the soul.
A black dragon with eyes full of evil energy coiled around the halberd, vivid and lifelike, seemingly ready to fly out at any moment.
The entire halberd was about one point six zhang long, strands of black energy entwined, continuously releasing an oppressive and dominant aura.
Upon first encounter, Yang Yan couldn’t help but be shocked by it, generating an irresistible impulse.
As Yang Yan observed closely, the Evil Spirit Halberd’s low and seductive voice echoed in the hall.
"Are you the current inheritor of Nascent Void? Release me from here, and I will grant you immense power, unparalleled cultivation speed, allowing you to leave the younger generation far behind."
"Moreover, I can give you supreme power, take you into the stars, and stand at the pinnacle of cultivation."
"Quickly, release me! Do not hesitate, the opportunity is right here. Come on! Let me out, and you’ll become the master of this world!"
Hearing the Evil Spirit Halberd’s temptation, Yang Yan’s heart was stirred.
Nascent Void, seeing this, issued a stern voice: "Yang Yan, wake up immediately and do not be lured by its words, it’s undermining your foundation, wake up quickly!"
Yang Yan gently nodded.
Actually, having learned from earlier experience, Yang Yan had already been on guard when he saw it.
On the surface, he seemed bewitched by its words, but in reality, he was secretly assessing its vulnerabilities.
After all, without such direct contact, a showdown wouldn’t afford many opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities.
And this brief contact also made Yang Yan secretly astonished by the Evil Spirit Halberd’s seductive power, compelling him to be extraordinarily vigilant.
Nascent Void saw Yang Yan had sobered up, and perhaps had been overly worried earlier, was elated and sighed quietly in relief.
Yet it couldn’t help but angrily rebuke the Evil Spirit Halberd: "Your master has been suppressed by us, its residual thoughts have been refined, and you, a mere Demon Soldier, dare to boast so boldly here? Watch me seal you until you decay!"
With that, it fell silent and began to gather all its strength, striving to repair the Array as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Yang Yan remained fully vigilant, ready to defend against any attack from the Evil Spirit Halberd.
He knew very well that just now, it was the opponent’s overconfidence and Nascent Void’s protection that left it without an opportunity.
But now, with Nascent Void busy repairing the damaged Array, the Evil Spirit Halberd would undoubtedly become desperate, and he couldn’t drop his guard.
However, the anticipated Divine Thought attack didn’t occur, the Evil Spirit Halberd seemed provoked by Nascent Void’s words and responded coldly: "I’ve been sealed for tens of millions of years, you think you can seal me here again? Dream on!"
