Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: The Last Obsession

 The moment it materialized, the Demon-Slaying Thunder chose its target and directly struck Long Yan.

  "Wait!" Long Yan cried out in alarm, looking at Li Shuang in despair: "Master, I was forced. It was all Ye Zhaozhao who deceived me, causing me to commit such a heinous crime. You know that a sword spirit has no choice at all. Please, save me..."

  Long Yan rushed towards Li Shuang, seeking her protection.

  Li Shuang's expression was cold. She didn't even glance at Long Yan, manipulating the Eye of Truth to continue pursuing Ye Zhaozhao.

  Looking at Li Shuang's retreating figure, a hint of despair flashed in Long Yan's eyes.

  He still wanted to go after her, but the thunder had already struck directly.

  First strike.

  The dragon's roar shattered.

  Second strike.

  Soul annihilated.

  Long Yan almost instantly transformed into tiny specks of light in the air.

  This was his last spiritual consciousness.

  He looked at Li Shuang's back with a dazed expression.

  In his mind, for some reason, many memories flashed by.

  In his memories.

  He had long ago formed a contract with Li Shuang.

  After that.

  Li Shuang took him on adventures, and together they became famous throughout the Southern Azure Continent.

  Finally.

  Li Shuang obtained the last inheritance of the Grand Ancestor and successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm.

  The day Li Shuang ascended.

  Everyone looked at them with envy.

  Li Shuang, holding Long Yin, splitting the tribulation clouds with one sword, became an eternal legend.

  These memories were so real that Long Yan was caught up in them for a moment.

  He always felt that this should have been his original destiny.

  He clearly...

  Could have reached the peak with Li Shuang.

  But...

  Endless regret surged from the bottom of his heart.

  One wrong step!

  Every step led to further mistakes!

  He himself had squandered a good hand.

  At this moment, his consciousness completely dispersed.

  Long Yan disappeared forever from the world.

  Next up was Ye Zhaozhao.

  "!!! What is Li Shuang doing? Meng Yifei, tell her to stop!" Yan Zhonghe's eyebrows flashed with a hint of ferocity: "Is she trying to exact personal revenge and kill Qingyu?"

  Meng Yifei sneered: "Sect Leader Yan, don't you feel it yourself? The power of those eyes is grand and magnificent. If someone is innocent, even if illuminated by the golden light, they would only feel warmth all over, what is there to fear? Fang Qingyu being so scared only proves that she has a problem!"

  "Furthermore. Is she really Fang Qingyu?" Meng Yifei said coldly: "The Dragon Roar Sword is Ye Zhaozhao's precious sword, and Long Yan is Ye Zhaozhao's sword spirit! Li Shuang has always said that Fang Qingyu is Ye Zhaozhao. It's just that before, few people believed it. What about now? Can everyone believe it now?"

  "Nonsense! Senior Ming, please immediately undo the formation," Yan Zhonghe immediately said.

  Ming Yan actually agreed directly, and was about to ask other formation masters to cooperate in dismantling the formation.

  However...

  The other formation masters didn't move.

  Yun Qingyu raised an eyebrow and said calmly: "What's the hurry? I'm quite curious about this... Fang Qingyu now. Let's see exactly what she is!"

  Ming Yan's expression changed, and then a scream rang out.

  Ming Yan suddenly looked at the Demon Extermination Formation, and then despair flashed in his eyes.

  In such a small area, Ye Zhaozhao had nowhere to hide, and the golden stream of light had already enveloped her. There was no time to dismantle the formation!

  Ming Yan's heart trembled, and he desperately told himself.

  The Venerable One's methods are unpredictable, and although Li Shuang's situation is still unknown, her small tricks may not reveal anything!

  This hopeful thought only lasted for a moment.

  The next moment.

  Ye Zhaozhao's scream rang out.

  To ordinary people, that golden light seemed warm and comfortable.

  But when it fell on Ye Zhaozhao, it was like some bone-eating poison.

  Her body, Fang Qingyu's body, actually dissolved little by little under this golden light!

  Black, viscous demonic energy surged out of her seven orifices like tentacles.

  Amidst Ye Zhaozhao's increasingly loud screams.

  Fang Qingyu's body was completely dissolved.

  What appeared on the scene!

  It was Ye Zhaozhao's soul body!

  The whole place was in an uproar.

  Ye Zhaozhao!

  Inside Fang Qingyu's body, it really was Ye Zhaozhao!

  The soul body had appeared, this could not possibly be false!

  "Look! What's wrong with Ye Zhaozhao's glabella? Something is wriggling there!"      "Heavens! What is that thing!"

  With such intense demonic energy spreading, the World-Destroying Thunder instantly locked onto its target.

  Purple lightning abruptly struck down towards Ye Zhaozhao.

  Ye Zhaozhao trembled all over, desperately trying to escape.

  However.

  How could she be faster than lightning?

  The thunder struck!

  It directly hit Ye Zhaozhao's glabella.

  This time, Ye Zhaozhao couldn't even scream!

  Her soul was annihilated in an instant!

  And that wasn't all!

  The moment she dissipated, the demon seed broke out of her body, forming a true demon body!

  When this scene occurred!

  The expressions of some people immediately changed.

  In the void, figures of ancient monsters emerged one by one.

  Magnificent voices echoed in the air.

  "That's... that thing?"

  "There's no mistake!"

  "Such a thing has appeared even in the Southern Azure Continent!"

  "Quick! Destroy this fiend!"

  One by one, Tribulation Transcenders actively channeled their power, and with the six formation eyes replenished, the lightning in the sky condensed even further.

  The lightning formed into a thick pillar, and a purple-gold lightning storm, like a heavenly punishment, crashed down fiercely.

  "Damn it," the demon seed cursed under its breath.

  He desperately tried to escape.

  However.

  His fate was no different from Ye Zhaozhao's.

  The enormous thunderbolt struck directly.

  First strike!

  The true demon body cracked.

  Second strike!

  The spiritual body dissipated!

  In just an instant, Ye Zhaozhao and the true demon body were successively struck apart, leaving only specks of light in the air.

  Ye Zhaozhao and the demon seed had perished.

  These specks of light were their last remaining obsessions in the human world.

  These obsessions would soon dissipate, barring any surprises.

  If not for the formation holding them, the obsessions would probably have dissipated instantly.

  But at this moment within the formation, the obsessions lingered for a while longer.

  Ye Zhaozhao looked at Li Shuang with some resentment.

  She still maintained that calm and distant demeanor.

  But.

  Why did she get everything?

  Li Shuang was just lucky!

  If Li Shuang had been the one to encounter the system in the first place, could she have resisted such temptation?

  Then the one whose soul was annihilated should have been Li Shuang.

  Ye Zhaozhao was just unlucky.

  Heaven was truly unfair.

  If Li Shuang were in her shoes, she would have met the same end!

  Ye Zhaozhao, carrying her last bit of resentment, those specks of light instantly merged into Li Shuang's body.

  "This!!" Meng Yifei's expression suddenly changed.

  An old ancestor said calmly: "No need to worry. That's just a last obsession. If Li Shuang can resolve this obsession, her spiritual power can still improve. If she cannot resolve it, there won't be too severe consequences, only a day or two of spiritual weakness."

  Only then did Meng Yifei relax.

  The moment the specks of light entered her.

  Within the Demon Extermination Array, an image suddenly appeared.

  Yun Qingyu raised an eyebrow: "This is Ye Zhaozhao's last obsession."

  Since it wouldn't have too much impact on Li Shuang, everyone watched with curiosity.

  The scene in the air was clearly the Sword Sect, the day Ye Zhaozhao first crossed over.

  "Zhaozhao, you're awake," someone called out next to her ear.

  Li Shuang opened her eyes, startled for a moment, her voice hoarse: "I... I am Ye Zhaozhao?"

  "Otherwise?" The person smiled.

  Li Shuang rubbed her head, and a memory suddenly appeared in her mind. She was a wandering soul from modern times, and this was her first day crossing over. She was about to embark on a journey of cultivation in a new world.

  Luo Mingyue was stunned: "In Ye Zhaozhao's obsession, Xiao Shuang became her? She wants Xiao Shuang to experience what she experienced?!"
