414: Chapter 418 The Outcome!

In the shadows, Jiang Wunian's eyes flickered as he stared intently at the chaotic battlefield below, his gaze filled with surprise and greed.

In his perception, this battlefield was suffused with mortal desires so dense they had almost condensed into physical form!

The greed, bloodlust, desire for plunder, and possessiveness of those Cultivators...

Countless types of desires intertwined, converging into an aura like a vast ocean.

For a demonic Cultivator like him who used "desires" as cultivation resources, this was nothing short of a god-given feast!

"Such dense mortal desires! If I can absorb them all, it would be equivalent to a hundred years of bitter cultivation!"

Jiang Wunian took a deep breath, an intoxicated expression appearing on his face.

However, he quickly composed himself, his gaze finally locking onto a battered figure on the battlefield.

It was Murong Jingyang.

In Jiang Wunian's perception, this person was emitting an extremely unique aura.

It was the specific fluctuation of an embryonic desire fruit nurtured within the body after one cultivated the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art to a certain Realm!

Once this desire fruit matured, it would be the best tonic for Jiang Wunian, enough to allow his cultivation to reach the next level!

However, Murong Jingyang's current state made Jiang Wunian's brow furrow.

Under the joint attack of True Man Lieyang, Daoist Bibo, and Blood Shadow Old Ancestor, Murong Jingyang was already covered in blood, his aura withered to the extreme!

His escape light was flickering, and the power of his strikes was far inferior to before; he was clearly at the end of his rope!

"Damn it!" Jiang Wunian cursed inwardly.

According to the logic of the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Art, a Cultivator practicing this technique would have their own emotions infinitely amplified by the Cultivation Technique.

Their actions would often become extreme, impulsive, and difficult to control.

But even so, few would be like Murong Jingyang, leading a group of rabble and daring to rush into the center of a Golden Core melee vortex to seek death!

"Useless! Idiot!" Jiang Wunian gritted his teeth.

But despite his cursing, he couldn't just watch Murong Jingyang perish.

Once that desire fruit dissipated with the host's death, his trip would be in vain!

No matter how many mortal desires he absorbed, it couldn't compensate for this loss!

"Forget it... I'll save him first."

Jiang Wunian took a deep breath, preparing to strike from the shadows.

However, just as he was about to act, a faint sense of unease flashed through his heart.

This unease came inexplicably, yet it lingered.

He instinctively scanned the surroundings, his Divine Sense probing deep into the Void Realm, but he found nothing unusual.

"I must be overthinking it." Jiang Wunian shook his head and dismissed the thought.

In his view, having such unease was perhaps just because the chaos of the battlefield below exceeded his expectations.

After all, with over a dozen Late Golden Core Stage experts fighting and other forces watching in secret, a slight premonition of danger was normal.

But he was determined to get Murong Jingyang's desire fruit!

Moreover, he had further plans. Murong Jingyang was already at the Late Golden Core Stage; although breaking through to Perfection was only a matter of time...

If he really calculated that time, it would be quite a while.

In that case, why not take this Opportunity to assist Murong Jingyang in crossing this Bottleneck in one fell swoop to reach Golden Core Perfection?

This way, wouldn't he be able to directly harvest a mature desire fruit!

Having made up his mind, a cold light flashed in Jiang Wunian's eyes, and his hands quietly formed hand seals.

An extremely subtle, almost imperceptible eerie fluctuation quietly spread from his fingertips, silently merging into the chaotic aura of the battlefield below.

That was... the aura of the Seven Emotions Gu!

This invisible fluctuation fell upon the battlefield like a breeze over a lake, not alerting anyone.

But within this seemingly harmless fluctuation, the deepest desires of all the affected Cultivators were being quietly amplified, twisted, and ignited in a slow and irreversible manner!

The first to show abnormality was a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator at the edge of the battlefield.

This person had just suffered significant injuries in a clash with the Li Family; half his body was blood-stained, and his aura was erratic.

He had already intended to leave the battlefield to find a safe place to heal.

After all, if his life was gone, what Opportunity was there to seize?

However, the moment he turned to leave, his expression suddenly became distorted!

"No... No! Leaving like this is too much of a loss! I've fought hard for over ten days and bled so much, why should I return empty-handed!"

His eyes turned blood-red, and he suddenly turned around, rushing back into the battlefield like a madman!

That posture completely ignored his heavy injuries, as if a mountain of gold and a sea of silver were waiting for him ahead!

Not far away, a middle-aged Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator had just snatched a few bottles of Medicinal Pills from a side hall of the Li Family. Before the joy on his face could fade, he was locked onto by several greedy gazes.

His heart tightened, and he made a prompt decision to quit while he was ahead and retreat!

However, he had barely flown a hundred feet when an uncontrollable thought surged in his mind.

"What do these few bottles of pills count for? I haven't been to the Li Family's Technique Pavilion! That's the real treasury! If I leave like this, wouldn't I be handing the greatest Opportunity over to others?"

His escape light suddenly halted. The struggle on his face lasted only a breath before being replaced by a near-frenzied greed!

"Let's do it!"

He suddenly turned around and charged towards the core area of the Li Family!

Similar scenes were constantly playing out all over the battlefield.

Some Cultivators had clearly snatched enough resources, but always felt they "could grab more," so they continued deeper regardless of the danger.

Some Cultivators were surrounded by enemies several times their number and should have fought and retreated, but suddenly fell into an inexplicable rage, trading injury for injury and life for life, fighting without any reason.

Some Cultivators who originally cooperated tacitly with their companions suddenly turned against each other and drew their blades over disagreements in distributing spoils.

Some Cultivators were repelled by their opponents and should have temporarily avoided the brunt, but inexplicably lost their cool and turned back to fight to the death.

The battlefield, which was chaotic but still had some order, now completely devolved into an Asura field of dancing demons!

Slaughter, greed, rage, jealousy, madness... countless negative emotions were like an ignited fire, crazily consuming the reason of every Cultivator!

And in the core of this crazed battlefield, Murong Jingyang was still fighting a bloody battle.

His injuries were so severe that he could collapse at any moment, but his eyes remained terrifyingly clear.

Because he knew the Sovereign was watching all this from somewhere.

And he only needed to execute the orders; even if he "perished," he would never stop.

On the flying boat in the distance, Lu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the completely out-of-control battlefield below. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied arc.

That Golden Core Perfection from the Six Desires Demonic Sect finally couldn't hold back and was preparing to enter the fray personally.

And in another direction he perceived, two more auras were rapidly approaching.

Yun Chenzi had arrived!
