Chapter 1031 Entering Han Yu’s Body

As soon as Wuxian and the others stepped into the Western Territory, Yan Wu and Yan Liu had already been waiting for some time.

This was the final deployment. Once trapped, Central Continent’s top forces could be considered completely wiped out.

"They’re all here, very good."

Yan Wu’s blank face relaxed, speaking with a complacent tone.

In the end, they’re just a ragtag group, what good is all their scheming?

In the face of absolute power, there is only endless despair and struggle.

Yan Wu wanted to see the despair on their faces as they fought desperately, only to realize they could do nothing.

The two sides exchanged no words and immediately started fighting after a brief stare.

As two waves of spiritual power clashed, a massive tremor erupted, causing the ground to collapse repeatedly and spreading for miles, with the void rippling outward like a disturbed lake.

Wuxian tried to guide and redirect some of the spiritual power back, then Shang Wanfeng shrouded their location in darkness.

Jiang Xinyuan followed closely, unleashing spiritual power and laws, causing everything around him to surge and crash into the darkness.

"Go and rescue them!"

Wuxian seized the opportunity to call out; they were here to rescue, not to battle.

Just as the old monk and the others were about to head toward Enlightenment Forest, Yan Wu suddenly flew out of the darkness, unscathed.

A moment later, Yan Liu emerged as well.

Yan Wu immediately engaged with the old monk’s group.

Yan Liu charged at Wuxian’s group.

The two sides were once again entangled, with Wuxian’s side faring slightly better, while the old monk’s side kept falling behind.

Aside from him, the disciples below lacked foundation; despite having rules in place, they were of no use.

"Die, you street rat, wind blades, snow swords, and tribulation thunder will end you."

The old monk’s misfortune rules directly targeted his opponent; the strength of these rules lay in their inevitability.

The old monk never missed.

The next moment, dark clouds gathered above Yan Wu’s head, and in an instant, thunder roared, followed by a powerful burst, with ice spikes and snow falling together.

Various methods instantly engulfed the opponent.

But before they could celebrate, Yan Wu broke through all the methods, emerging unscathed.

Impenetrable rules!

Yan Liu immediately reinforced Yan Wu and himself with rules, making them even more impregnable.

This group ultimately fell into a trap as well.

Yin Wang’s heart had already sunk; he could naturally sense the change in energy and guessed that Wuxian and his group were entangled.

Under such circumstances, he couldn’t think of any way to turn things around.

It was a gigantic gamble, win, and Han Yu would grow stronger by gaining Qi fortune, giving Heavenly Dao the advantage.

Lose, and everyone would face destruction together.

Unfortunately, the plan fell short at the very last step.

They were barely resisting, but as time passed, once Yan Yi and others returned, their only outcome would be annihilation.

"Can you speed it up? There’s no time left."

Han Yu was urging as well, naturally because the Wise Elder spoke again, urging him as well.

"You’re running out of time; if you don’t hurry, you’ll just wait and die."

"It’s here!"

Almost as the words fell, the Artifact Spirit’s voice came from the token.

It had arrived beneath the Enlightenment Forest, hesitating outside a transparent cage in front of it.

"Enter!"

The Wise Elder’s voice transmitted through the token.

"Wait, are you sure it’s possible?"

Han Yu quickly interrupted, fearing that if it wasn’t possible, the Artifact Spirit would perish by entering.

"There’s a chance, but the risk is high."

The Wise Elder quickly spoke.

As Han Yu was still considering, the Artifact Spirit had already entered ahead.

Soon, it met with Han Yu.

"With a chance, it’s enough to fight."

The Artifact Spirit said, then swiftly asked into the void.

"What do you need me to do?"

Although it didn’t know what the Wise Elder needed it for, as long as it was to save Han Yu, it would do it without hesitation.

The Wise Elder asked Han Yu again, "Do you trust it?"

This time, without Han Yu answering, the Artifact Spirit cursed directly, "Old ghost, are you trying to sow discord between us? Spit it out fast; I’ll deal with you after I rescue him."

Asking Han Yu this question in front of it was provoking—this old ghost was more devious than Ping.

The Wise Elder fell silent for a moment before he spoke shockingly, "You enter Han Yu’s body."

Han Yu and the Artifact Spirit were stunned, as if they misheard.

"Damn old ghost, you lied about having a way back. I fell for your trick. You tell me to enter the Sea of Consciousness, are you messing with me?"

The Artifact Spirit berated loudly.

How could Han Yu’s Sea of Consciousness have a way to turn things around? If it were purely for the Artifact Spirit to return to the Sea of Consciousness, then the Wise Elder truly deceived them into their deaths.

However, the Wise Elder sighed and said, "I meant for the Artifact Spirit to enter Han Yu’s body, not the Sea of Consciousness."

Enter the body?

"Like the Five Elements Spirit Body, enter Han Yu’s body!"

The Wise Elder naturally addressed the Artifact Spirit with these words.

"Are you crazy? I’m a bottle’s Artifact Spirit. How could I enter his body..."

The Artifact Spirit looked incredulous.

Han Yu is a person, not an artifact, let alone a Spiritual Treasure—how could it enter?

"Don’t worry about it. Just treat him as your body and enter."

The Wise Elder had no intention of explaining, only urging them.

"Time is running out; if you don’t hurry, it might be too late."

The Artifact Spirit and Han Yu exchanged looks, nodding secretly.

"Come!"

Han Yu said straightforwardly.

The Artifact Spirit entered Han Yu’s body without a word.

Normally, it would enter the Sea of Consciousness, but entering the body was a first.

To its surprise, the moment it entered Han Yu’s body, it expected to see internal organs, but instead saw surrounding soil.

An odd sensation overcame it, and it found itself unable to move until it looked down, saw its own robes and face, and was astonished.

"Why am I taller?"

Meanwhile, another voice emerged, "Why the hell am I in the Sea of Consciousness?"

For a moment, both seemed utterly dumbfounded.

Their identities had swapped at that moment!

At the same time, a bigger question arose in their hearts.

What kind of trickery was this?

Was it another means of the Heavenly Dao?

"No time to explain; I’ll give you a reasonable cover-up... answer later, but for now, try pillaging again!"

"Remember, once you escape, retrieve the Qi Fortune as fast as you can, then flee swiftly."

The Wise Elder quickly instructed.

Upon hearing this, the Artifact Spirit struggled to move its right hand, and the West River Slash appeared in an instant!

It was shocked on its face, and even more surprising, the array’s suppression on it was diminishing.

Simultaneously, its vision seemed to expand, capturing everything on the surface even from underground.

"Don’t just stand there, get to work."

This time Han Yu shouted from the Sea of Consciousness, with a peculiar expression.

His soul traversing the Soul Realm was already something, and now it appeared in the Sea of Consciousness as well, beyond bizarre.

The Artifact Spirit dared not delay, quickly drew a blade with Han Yu’s body.

With just one strike, the surrounding cage cracked like glass.

With another strike, the cracks shattered completely.

Unexpectedly, Yan Yi and others’ long-prepared array collapsed so easily in the Artifact Spirit’s hands.

Meanwhile, the Artifact Spirit heeded the Wise Elder’s advice, swiftly cleaved upwards at the cluster of roots overhead.

The West River Slash’s range immediately engulfed Enlightenment Forest, a light piercing skywards from the ground.

This scene astonished everyone locked in combat.

As Wuxian and the others were still reacting, Yan Wu and Yan Liu’s faces changed drastically...
