Chapter 134 (A borrowed soul) Long Wei’s POV
We sprinted through flooded city streets where the water burned like acid. We climbed through the upside-down corridors of a ruined temple, force and pressure shifting violently with every step. We crossed a burning battlefield, then slammed waist-deep into the snow of a frozen mountain.Han Ruo knew these paths. He navigated the impossible maze with a desperate familiarity, proving he had escaped this creature many times before. But it didn't matter.Every time we turned a corner, every time we breached a new memory, the entity was already there. Standing on a burning siege tower. Waiting at the end of a flooded alley. Not chasing us. Just waiting. Smiling.And then, my own mind began to turn on me.The cognition sea recognized me as an intruder long ago, but for some reason, it waited this long to start fighting back. As we ran through an endless stone corridor, the walls shifted. Suddenly, I saw Brother Chen standing at the end of the hall. He looked at me with cold, dead eyes, t
Chapter 133 (Predator of this realm) Long Wei’s POV
My head replayed back to that exact moment, the moment I had a companion in the hollow memory. “Do not let him know you can see him.”Han Ruo’s trembling whisper brushed against my ear like a blade.His hand stayed clamped firmly over my mouth as he dragged me deeper behind the massive ceremonial pillar. The marble was cold against my back. Outside, the sacred ceremony continued peacefully, The elders chanted. The younger Han Ruo still knelt at the center of the hall in pristine white robes, head lowered before the sacred altar, repeating vows in a calm voice.Yet the Han Ruo hiding beside me looked nothing like that man anymore.Up close, he looked horrifying.One eye was bloodshot and barely focused. Dark veins crawled beneath his pale skin like living worms. His breathing came unevenly, shallow and strained, as though every inhale hurt. He kept glancing toward the hall, listening to the silence between the chants like prey waiting for a predator to move.He looked hunted. “Do no
Chapter 132 (The dawn after the abyss) Long wei’s POV
I slammed awake like a drowning man breaking through the surface of black water.My body jerked upward violently.My back arched off the floor, my hands immediately flying to my throat. I clawed at my own skin, choking, gagging, expecting silver strings that were no longer there, the laughing faces of the dead.My vision swam violently, blurring and clearing in uneven pulses.I could still see the white fog ; the endless white, the laughing faces, the echoes.My chest heaved harder.Then a pair of warm calloused palms grabbed my shoulders.“Wei!”I flinched so hard my core my meridians and dantian groaned “Easy…..easy, you’re back.”The voice sounded warped at first, distant and distorted, like someone speaking through layers of water.I blinked wildly. My breath hitching in broken, jagged pulls. The room was still spinning. My vision swam, blurring reality with the nightmare I had just escaped. The wooden ceiling beams above me fractured, looking exactly like the broken memory gate
Chapter 131 (The sovereign’s devouring) Chen’s POV
The technique sent my vision swimming, the world fading in and out of focus, but it could only be this painful. The crowd of reflected Han Jun parted. One Han Jun stepped forward, his eyes glazed with obsessive hunger. From his pale wrist, thin silver threads began to slide out of his flesh.Silken Killing Strings.Only the true body could manifest that level of spiritual artifact.He stepped close enough for me to smell the ash on his breath. The elegant, deadly strings wrapped slowly around my throat. He pulled them taut. The silver wire bit into my neck, cutting deep. Warm blood spilled down my neck."No... no!" Wei screamed, his voice cracking as he clawed at the dirt, inches out of reach.Han Jun smiled, leaning in to whisper his final victory into my ear.“You truly are magnificent.” The strings tightened furtherHe truly believed he had poisoned me. He didn't realize that to a creature of the Void, demonic corruption wasn't poison.It was food.Deep inside my core, the Void f
Chapter 130 (Echoes of the beast) Chen’s POV
"I endured all of this..." Han Jun whispered, his eyes burning with an unholy fanaticism. "...just to meet the Sovereign."The sheer devotion in his voice sent a chill down my spine. It wasn’t hatred. It wasn't the manic desperation of a cornered beast. It was an obsession. The ravenous reverence of a starving scholar finally standing before a forbidden scripture.My instincts screamed for me to act fast and I didn't hesitate. I drove my Void energy into my hand, crushing his throat with the intent to sever his head from his shoulders. Black fissures crawled across Han Jun’s neck as I crushed harder, the surrounding fog imploding from the pressure alone.“You met him,” I said coldly.I increased the force of the void to make him explode, but the pressure lashed on an empty space. Han Jun didn't pull away or use any movement technique. The figure beneath my iron grip simply disintegrated into countless drifting white fragments, slipping through my fingers like cold ash.My pupils co
Chapter 129 (The beast obsession) Chen’s POV
Han Jun appeared elegant, dressed in immaculate scholarly robes, his hands clasped loosely behind his back. A soft, serene smile rested on his face. But everything about him was deeply, viscerally wrong. His movements were far too smooth, lacking the hesitations of a memory entity. He stood completely still, blinking far too slowly, his smile widening a fraction of a second before he actually spoke."What exactly are you?" Han Jun asked, his voice a melodic purr that tasted like ash. He tilted his head, studying me with the ravenous fascination of a starving predator finally presented with a legendary feast. "A Sovereign? Or a corpse stitched together from stolen inheritances?”He dissolved into the fog and appeared behind me, his steps making no sound."You're dark for a sovereign. Chaotic origin, void Primordial marrow. Iron qi, Foreign techniques." He chuckled, a wet, terrible sound. "You are less a man and more a graveyard." Then he was gone again. I didn't move or try to pursue
