The terrifying self-destruction completely blurred everyone's vision—everything outside the shield vanished.
The Soul Beast King also disappeared from everyone's sight.
Beiming Feng coughed up blood, his face slightly pale.
Even he suffered considerable injuries from the self-destruction of a King Rank martial artist. The explosive force contained a brutal, bestial energy that wounded his spirit. It would likely take quite some time for him to fully recover!
"Is Yang Wuqi dead?" Lin Zhennan asked.
In his view, it was impossible for anyone to survive an explosion of this magnitude.
In his soul form, Yang Wuqi was immune to physical attacks. However, the self-destruction involved not only physical damage but also a significant mental shock.
If it weren't for Beiming Feng's three domains protecting them, they would all be dead.
Beiming Feng shook his head, his expression grim.
"Yang Wuqi couldn't have committed suicide using Hong Tai's self-destruction method, and since the outer Soul Beast Array hasn't disappeared, he must still be alive!"
If he really wanted to commit suicide, he would have self-destructed with Hong Tai to break through the three domains' protection and kill everyone.
Besides, Yang Wuqi cherished his life; how could he willingly commit suicide?
"But the Space-Severing Stone is still there, so he probably can't get out either, right?"
No one could answer this question. Yang Wuqi's presence had completely vanished from the altar; even Beiming Feng and Hong Lie, both King Rank cultivators, couldn't sense him anymore.
Protected in the middle of the group, Ling Qingxue suddenly grabbed Wu Liang and threw him into the Soul Cleansing Pool.
"Quickly absorb this soul energy, absorb as much as you can!" Ling Qingxue urged anxiously.
Wu Liang was somewhat confused, but the mention of food made him happy.
He had just absorbed spatial power from the Space-Severing Stone and gained control over it.
Now there was more good stuff to eat!
Wu Liang's devouring power erupted at full force, frantically absorbing the tangible soul energy within the Soul Cleansing Pool.
[Ding! Large amounts of pure tangible soul energy, consumed. Spiritual Power +1000, Spirit Resistance +100!]
[......]
Wu Liang's spiritual attribute value began to soar, skyrocketing from around five thousand to nearly five digits, while his Spirit Resistance value also steadily increased.
Ling Qingxue's breathing became heavier, and her expression grew increasingly grim.
"You think Yang Wuqi wants to possess your magical beast?" Beiming Feng asked in a low voice.
Ling Qingxue nodded helplessly. "Just now, the contract inside me wavered for a fleeting moment. Though it was brief, I'm certain it was Yang Wuqi who did it!"
From the moment she contracted with Wu Liang, the contract had never shown any abnormalities, not even when Wu Liang's vital and spiritual energy surpassed hers.
But that brief moment of wavering was clearly a prelude to rebellion.
She couldn't think of any other reason besides Yang Wuqi.
Therefore, she placed Wu Liang in the Soul Cleansing Pool, wanting him to quickly absorb soul energy to improve his spiritual attributes.
Only with powerful spiritual attributes would he stand a chance of resisting Yang Wuqi's attempt to take over his body while he was gravely wounded.
"But Taotie doesn't seem to be acting strangely?" Lin Zhennan asked, puzzled.
"Yang Wuqi planned to hide and wait until he left the secret place before possessing Taotie. That way, he would be the real Taotie. Unfortunately, he couldn't completely conceal his power while severely injured!"
The slight change in the contract caused by Yang Wuqi entering Wu Liang's body was still sensed by Ling Qingxue.
Hearing this, Wu Liang was instantly enraged.
"What a bastard! Out of so many people here, you picked me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?!
The Grumpy Empress is the protagonist! Why don't you possess the protagonist instead of a mutt like me?! Damn it, you have a death wish!!"
Yang Wuqi's figure appeared in Wu Liang's mind, his face cold.
"I told you, my target has always been only you. Only you can help me take revenge on the Liu family. I really don't understand why a monstrous beast like you would submit to a human. You should destroy everything!"
"What's it to you? Even if I dig up your ancestral graves, it's none of your business!" Wu Liang cursed angrily.
Yang Wuqi smiled coldly.
"Since I've been discovered, and I can't escape anyway, how about we make a deal?"
"I don't deal with bastards," Wu Liang said calmly.
"You..."
Yang Wuqi was so angry that his soul became unstable.
"Aren't you afraid of death? I'm a King Rank being. Even severely injured, my strength is still beyond your reach. I can easily possess you!"
Wu Liang scoffed. "Ridiculous! Even if you possess me, do you think you'll be able to leave? Besides... I'm the Great Taotie! You're the first person in history to dare say such a thing!"
The bond between bloodlines was unimaginable. Even a weakened Great Taotie was still a Great Taotie!!
Wu Liang's soul exuded a powerful killing aura, his entire sea of consciousness instantly transforming into hell.
"Do you know what a Taotie is? I will show you today!!"
Wu Liang unleashed the full power of his bloodline, and a ferocious force of devouring and slaughter surged forth, filling the surrounding space with a malevolent energy tornado.
He was devouring tangible soul energy, devouring the surrounding spatial energy—everything could be devoured.
"What… what does he intend to do? Devour Yang Wuqi directly? But he's only at Third Rank!" Lin Zhennan exclaimed in shock.
Beiming Feng's eyes gleamed, his expression equally shaken.
"Such a crazy act, truly befitting a Great Fiend!!"
Even they couldn't believe Wu Liang would dare to do such a thing.
Devouring a King Rank Soul Beast King—wouldn't he be torn apart?
Moreover, how could Yang Wuqi not put up a fight? Their spiritual powers were at completely different levels.
"The reason the Taotie is called a Great Fiend is because its killing power is unstoppable!" Ling Qingxue said indifferently.
At this point, Wu Liang could activate his bloodline divine skill again. Since he had absorbed a large amount of substantial soul energy and was relying on the Taotie bloodline, he might be able to suppress the heavily injured Yang Wuqi.
A cold smile appeared on Wu Liang's face in his mind.
"Come, unleash your strongest power to possess me!"
Yang Wuqi gritted his teeth, feeling utterly humiliated.
He was obviously the stronger one, a King Rank Soul Beast King!
Yet he was being humiliated by an insignificant Third Rank ant.
Does that even make sense?!
Is that reasonable?!!
"You're courting death! Even if I can't possess you today, I'll take your Taotie bloodline with me. One day, I will dominate the entire Blue Star!"
"Dream on! Once you're in my mind, you're my food!"
Wu Liang immediately activated 'Gluttonous Feast' and the enhanced 'Greed' skill. Endless killing intent brewed within him; his digestion speed, devouring power, and even his attribute values surged rapidly.
A terrifying aura erupted, even making Lin Zhennan's scalp tingle.
Under this aura, he subconsciously felt malice, and various distracting thoughts arose in his mind.
Beiming Feng led them a little further away to avoid disturbing Wu Liang.
"The Four Fiends are the epitome of slaughter. Their bloodline divine skills can all generate murderous intent. Ordinary people standing within the range of their bloodline divine skills will instantly go mad and start killing each other. Their sheer killing power is enough to rival that of ordinary divine beasts!”
"The Taotie's potential… is unlimited!"
