Chapter 740 -190: Prodigies Become Sacrifices, Brothers Become Food

“How dare you attack your own allies! You’ve ruined the Moon Worship Sect’s grand plan. Aren’t you afraid they’ll hunt down and annihilate your entire Zhang Family for this?!”

“Fool!”

Zhang Tianyu walked to the edge of the Array, looking down on him with eyes full of pity and mockery. “Even now, you still don’t understand…”

“Whether it’s you, the other so-called prodigies, or even that insufferably arrogant Moon Worship Sect… you are all nothing more than pawns of my Zhang Family.”

“What…” Sword Traceless’s pupils shrank abruptly.

‘He had never imagined he would hear something so horrifying!’

‘It was one thing for the Zhang Family to see them as pawns…’

‘But for the Zhang Family to dare treat the Moon Worship Sect as pawns as well?’

‘How laughable!’

‘With Zhang Tianyu’s status, how could he not know how powerful and terrifying the Moon Worship Sect was?’

‘Not only had the Zhang Family betrayed the Moon Worship Sect, but they also dared to proclaim they were treating it as a pawn?’

“Now, offer up the last of your value.”

With that, Zhang Tianyu flicked his finger, sending a streak of eerie green Spiritual Light into the Array.

SIZZLE—

The black chains piercing Sword Traceless’s flesh instantly erupted in ghastly, strange green flames!

This fire didn’t burn the body—it burned only the Divine Soul!

“AHHH!!!”

Sword Traceless let out a horrifying shriek. It was a searing pain from the depths of his soul, as if someone were pouring molten iron over his very essence!

As the peerless genius of Celestial Sword Mountain, he had been coddled and revered his entire life. When had he ever suffered such inhuman torture?

In that instant, his mental defenses shattered.

“In pain?”

Zhang Tianyu’s voice, like a devil’s whisper, pierced through the screams and into his ear. “You hold a terrifying power within you, a power you can’t even imagine… It’s merely been locked away by your reason.”

“Want to end this suffering? Want to drag me to hell with you? Want to slice me into a thousand pieces?”

“Then hate! Draw out that terrifying power from within you. Only then can you hope for revenge!”

Following Zhang Tianyu’s guidance, the green flames that had been burning the Divine Soul suddenly changed color, transforming into a black mist as thick as ink!

“…It’s the Pollution Power!!”

Sword Traceless recognized this power instantly. “Damn it! I’m becoming a Fallen Demon!”

“But this power…”

The pain in his body and soul had mostly vanished.

In its place was a surge of rapidly increasing power!

Sword Traceless’s eyes gradually turned blood-red.

‘This power was far too intoxicating…’

‘Just as Zhang Tianyu had said, if he could control this power, he could turn everything around!’

‘Including…’

‘Grinding Zhang Tianyu’s bones to dust!’

At this moment, the Spiritual Mechanism from the surrounding world was drawn in by the Array, surging into Sword Traceless’s body!

The Dark Power around him grew ever denser!

It was as if the Dark Power within him had been completely detonated!

In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped by the roiling black mist, like a giant black cocoon!

“ROAR…”

A low, bestial roar escaped his throat. The irises in his eyes faded away, and the whites were soaked in blood, turning them completely crimson!

“Yes, just like that…”

Zhang Tianyu watched this scene with a fanatical glint in his eyes. His voice grew more seductive, as if coaxing a small child. “Don’t resist it. Accept it… This is your power… Unleash all the hidden potential within you!”

“Only then can you break free from these chains, kill me, destroy the Zhang Family, and avenge yourself!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

The last of Sword Traceless’s sanity finally snapped. He tilted his head back and roared, “ZHANG TIANYU!!”

BOOM!

Catalyzed by his extreme hatred, the Pollution Power in his body was fully drawn out, erupting like a volcano.

His muscles began to swell, and black demonic patterns appeared on his skin.

As he struggled madly, the supposedly indestructible chains of the Array were all pulled taut, groaning as if they couldn’t bear the strain!

CRACK… CRACK…

The six sturdy Spirit Pattern Pillars actually began to show fine cracks!

“Power… HAHAHAHA! This is my power!”

The transformed Sword Traceless felt the world-destroying power within him and let out a crazed laugh. He gave a violent tug, as if to break out of the array. “I’m getting out! I’m going to slaughter you! I’ll tear you limb from limb!!”

Gazing at the monster that was about to break loose, Zhang Tianyu showed no trace of fear. Instead, a satisfied smile touched his lips.

“Sufficient.”

Inside Zhang Tianyu’s body, the Ancestor’s ancient voice sounded out, as indifferent as a farmer judging a ripe harvest.

“Harvest it.”

The next moment…

The instant before Sword Traceless could break the chains…

Zhang Tianyu’s figure flashed like lightning. In a move akin to Instant Teleportation, he ignored the overwhelming Demonic Qi and appeared behind Sword Traceless.

He reached out with a pale hand, his fingers like an iron claw, and with unquestionable force, clamped down on Sword Traceless’s wildly roaring head!

“Too noisy.”

…

Wild winds howled through the grim, ancient forest.

Above the forest, a streak of emerald light cut across the sky.

Feng Luoyan, the prodigy of the Wuji Sect, stood upon a millstone-sized, jade-green leaf—a Magical Treasure.

Runes flowed across the leaf’s surface as it cut through the air at an astonishing speed.

Her hair danced in the wind as she glanced back. Below, in the jungle, a figure was crashing through like a wild bull in hot pursuit.

Although the person was extremely fast, the complex terrain eventually allowed her to widen the distance between them.

Feng Luoyan covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled, her eyes filled with mockery and disdain. “Lord Chu, why don’t you give up? I have no room for you in my heart. It’s pointless, even if you chase me to the ends of the earth.”

Below, Chu Fan glanced up at the smug-looking Feng Luoyan, then cast his gaze even higher, toward the vast sky.

This Profound Origin Secret Realm was strange through and through. In his Divine Sense, he could feel unsettling air currents stirring in the airspace high above Feng Luoyan’s flight path.
