Chapter 1384: Chapter 717: Detaining Ling Yurong
"Stop!"
Inside the ice, the seemingly frozen Scarlet Flame Eagle let out a roar, going mad, with flames on its body continuously burning, rapidly melting the surrounding ice.
Seeing this scene, Yu Rong burst into wild laughter.
"Hahaha, with the fusion of this wisp of Split Mind, my power will be significantly enhanced once more!"
"Liang, let’s see how I punish you when the time comes!"
Yu Rong immediately began absorbing the Spiritual Split Thought from within Yang Mei’s body.
A soul avatar drifted out from Yang Mei’s body, without any resistance, it directly entered Yu Rong’s body.
Meanwhile, Yang Mei’s body, as if it lost its soul, started falling to the ground.
Yu Rong paid no attention to Yang Mei’s physical body.
She knew that if her Spiritual Split Thought occupied this person’s physical body, it proved that the opponent’s soul had already completely lost in the gene-level contest.
Therefore, she didn’t care about Yang Mei’s physical body and instead focused entirely on absorbing her Spiritual Split Thought.
Since the Spiritual Split Thought was originally from her own Spirit Body, absorbing and refining it was almost instantaneous.
As the Split Mind merged into her Sea of Consciousness, her Spiritual Power visibly surged rapidly!
In just a moment, her momentum soared.
Her mermaid form began to change rapidly as well.
First, her height, initially over thirty meters, shot up directly to over forty meters!
This represented that her gene recombination progress had reached over 40%!
Moreover, as her Spiritual Power increased rapidly, she was able to unleash many high-quality Rune Skills from ancient times.
Yu Rong laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I am about to return to my peak, who can stop me?"
"Nearly a millennium of seclusion was all for this moment. I, Yu Rong, Lord of the Frozen Sea, have finally returned!"
"In this world, I will definitely rise from this apocalyptic flood!"
Boom!
Just as she was making her powerful comeback declaration,
below, Liang Yuan, sealed in ice, suddenly smiled and, having been trying to melt the ice, lightly flapped his wings.
Instantly, a violent Vacuum Flash Flame exploded, and the originally hard-to-break ice shattered like rotten wood, scattering into ice debris everywhere!
Liang Yuan’s figure flickered and returned to human form.
A hint of a smile appeared on his face, and he flashed to the side of Yang Mei, who had fallen to the ground.
He picked up Yang Mei and laughed: "It’s done, wake up."
Yang Mei then opened her eyes and looked up at the sky.
"She was tricked?"
Liang Yuan nodded with a smile: "She took the bait and is now overly complacent."
Yang Mei covered her mouth and chuckled, looking at the giant forty-meter-tall Fishman, she couldn’t help but say: "Truly impressive, what kind of power is needed to reach this form."
"More than forty percent gene recombination."
The two stood in human form below the forty-meter-high Yu Rong, and if Yu Rong didn’t lower her head, she couldn’t even see the two of them.
However, with her current strength level, her Spiritual Power was terrifying, and no subtle sound in the air could escape her ears.
Therefore, everything the two said was heard by her without missing a word.
She immediately sensed something was wrong and looked down at Liang Yuan and Yang Mei.
She first looked at Yang Mei, somewhat surprised: "You... you’re still alive?"
Yang Mei smiled without speaking.
Instead, Liang Yuan laughed and said: "Of course she’s alive."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"My Spiritual Split Thought appeared; you shouldn’t be able to awaken!"
"This isn’t right!"
As she spoke, she instinctively reached out, trying to grab Yang Mei.
Liang Yuan laughed and opened his mouth to scold: "Bold! Stand still!"
Yu Rong was stunned, instantly infuriated.
A mere ant dared to speak to her like that?
However, in the next moment, her body, uncontrollably, retracted her hand and stood firmly.
She was instantly incredulous, her pupils contracted!
"How can this be!"
Liang Yuan chuckled lightly and spoke again, "Why grow so big? Return to normal for me!"
At his command, Yu Rong immediately tried to resist, but suddenly, in her Sea of Consciousness, a golden rune appeared.
The rune directly drilled into the depths of her Sea of Consciousness, forcibly controlling her body, automatically canceling the gene recombination form!
In an instant, her body rapidly shrank, returning to an ordinary human form!
"You, what did you do? What did you do to me!"
At this moment, Yu Rong panicked!
Holding her head, she screamed in disbelief.
Liang Yuan, however, merely said flatly: "What’s the matter? You, who self-styled as the Ice Goddess, surviving since ancient times, can’t recognize the rune in your Sea of Consciousness?"
Yu Rong, filled with shock and anger, hurriedly sensed the golden rune in her Sea of Consciousness.
Upon seeing the rune’s appearance, she instantly screamed: "Soul Imprisonment Rune!"
"No, this is impossible! How can you master such a golden quality rune?"
"Wait, when did you place the Imprisonment Rune on me?"
"This is impossible, it’s fake, how could my Spiritual Power be marked by you?"
She couldn’t believe the situation in her Sea of Consciousness and crazily yelled, attempting to conjure an Ice and Snow Longsword to try and kill Liang Yuan.
However, just as this thought emerged, a violent pain instantly struck!
In her Sea of Consciousness, the golden rune glowed brightly, almost instantly causing her to lose all her power.
"Ah—"
She clutched her head and screamed miserably on the ground.
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head and said, "Since you recognize that as a Soul Imprisonment Rune, you still dare to defy your master?"
"Should I commend you for your bravery or ignorance?"
Ling Yurong clutched her head in agony, glaring at Liang Yuan: "You targeted my Spiritual Split Thought!"
"Indeed, no matter how strong your Spiritual Power is, it’s impossible for it to surpass mine."
"Only because my Spiritual Split Thought’s Spiritual Power isn’t strong enough that you could imprint the Soul Imprisonment Rune!"
"You shameless scoundrel, even in death, I, Ling Yurong, will never be captured by you and acknowledge you as my master!"
As she spoke, Ling Yurong suddenly grabbed the Ice Sword, and before Liang Yuan’s astonished eyes, slit her own throat!
Pfft!
Blood spurted out instantly, Ling Yurong was truly ruthless!
The force of that slash was so great that it cut half her neck open!
Terrifying torrents of blood continually sprayed out, instantly staining the snow-covered ground red.
Liang Yuan was momentarily taken aback!
Who would have thought that someone who had been lingering on for thousands of years would so decisively choose to end herself?
Liang Yuan felt it was somewhat unrealistic for a moment!
Could it really be that Ling Yurong just died like that?
Yang Mei was also startled, exclaiming in surprise, then quickly said: "Little brother, is she... dead?"
Clearly, Yang Mei also couldn’t believe what she saw before her eyes.
Liang Yuan looked at the body on the ground, his gaze slightly heavy.
But in a moment, he suddenly realized: "No!"
"Ling Yurong had long since used the method of Spiritual Split Thought to divide her Spiritual Power into countless strands, passing them on to her bloodline descendants."
"Although this body is dead, the other Spiritual Split Thoughts haven’t been integrated by her yet!"
"Furthermore, the other Spiritual Split Thoughts haven’t been affected by the Soul Imprisonment Rune."
Liang Yuan quickly comprehended the situation!
This Ling Yurong intended to use the method of Spiritual Split Thought to shed her skin like a golden cicada!
Abandoning this body to seek another way to be revived!
However, this operation, though simple to say, required immense courage to execute.
Not just anyone would have the courage to slit their own throat.
Especially when already at 40% progress in gene recombination.
Moreover, Ling Yurong had bided her time for thousands of years for an opportunity to revive, the cost of all this was enormous.
It’s important to know that the earlier she awakens, the earlier she can plan, the earlier she can gain the upper hand in this apocalypse scenario!
But now, this act of suicide erased all her previous advantages.
And relying on other Spiritual Split Thoughts to awaken, who knows how long that will take.
More critically, half of her Spiritual Split Thoughts are controlled by Liang Yuan.
Even if she awakens again, she’ll never return to her peak state.
Without that half of the Spiritual Split Thought, she’ll have to painstakingly cultivate her way back to the top.
The difference is truly like night and day!
Yet Ling Yurong still chose this path!
It speaks volumes of her boldness!
Liang Yuan wore a solemn expression; the severity and decisiveness Ling Yurong demonstrated made him wary.
Such a person could very well regenerate one day.
At that point, she’ll surely come seeking vengeance!
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan furrowed his eyebrows.
Having such an enemy lurking in the shadows certainly made it hard for one to sit at ease.
Yang Mei snapped back to reality, exclaiming in horror: "She killed herself? Little brother, didn’t you say that with the Soul Imprisonment Rune activated, she couldn’t defy your orders?"
Liang Yuan sighed: "I didn’t expect her to be so decisive, to directly kill herself."
"So what about the portion of her Spiritual Split Thought you enslaved? Is it gone too?"
The moment Yang Mei asked this, Liang Yuan immediately realized.
"Indeed, that portion of her Spiritual Split Thought has already been bound by my Rune, even in death, that part of her soul cannot reincarnate or resurrect!"
Liang Yuan suddenly realized, immediately sensing the Soul Imprisonment Rune.
As expected, within Ling Yurong’s corpse, he felt the presence of her Soul Body!
The so-called Soul Body is a condensed entity of the spirit.
At this moment, her Soul Body was many times stronger than the previous trace of Split Mind.
Liang Yuan burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Ling Yurong, even though you’ve committed suicide, your soul within this body can’t escape my imprisonment."
With that, Liang Yuan activated his superpower, and a mass of Spiritual Energy floated out of Ling Yurong’s corpse.
Ling Yurong’s Spirit Body was extracted by him from her body.
In her Spirit Body state, Ling Yurong glared furiously at Liang Yuan, her face full of furious fright.
"Let me go!"
She roared with anger.
Liang Yuan, however, laughed: "From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to commit suicide, or harm anyone around me."
"If you behave well, I might consider finding you a new body."
"You should know, now you completely belong to me!"
Ling Yurong’s heart burned with anger, yet she couldn’t resent Liang Yuan.
Under the influence of the Soul Imprisonment Rune, she completely became Liang Yuan’s servant.
Liang Yuan’s words alone could decide her life or death, just one phrase, and she would offer her life for it!
She closed her eyes in anguish, speaking no more.
Liang Yuan smiled faintly, after the Soul Imprisonment, her main consciousness remained within her, but was perpetually controlled by him, unable to do anything against his will.
Now Ling Yurong was left with only a Spirit Body, her capabilities were surely significantly diminished.
But having previously reached 40% of the Main Attribute, her Combat Power would still likely be very formidable.
"With such a fighter, venturing into the Celestial Abyss shouldn’t be too worrisome in terms of safety."
But before that, Liang Yuan still needed to reclaim Mist City.
