193: Chapter 193 should end here.

Therefore... this Gray Mist World must be stopped!

"That's troublesome." Xiao Yan frowned deeply, contemplating how to resolve this Gray Mist World.

"Since the Origin of this gray mist has been found, if we destroy it completely right here, it shouldn't appear again," Zhou Yuan said.

"I'm afraid that's the only way." Hearing this, Xiao Yan formed hand seals, and another three thousand Clones manifested, standing before the light membrane.

"Everyone, the Origin of this world must be within this light membrane. If we can destroy it, this world will completely dissipate."

"In that case, leave it to us."

The Clones did not hesitate. Including the many Clones from before, they all began directly absorbing the gray mist, converting it into a special, high-level energy, and finally transformed into gray mist giants.

Seemingly sensing the threat, the surface of the light membrane rippled slightly. Within the scenes of the gray mist invading countless worlds, one extremely powerful alienated monster after another slowly emerged.

"Fortunately, no powerhouses were infected, otherwise it would be troublesome," Zhou Yuan said, watching the monsters emerging from the scenes.

Previously in the Major Thousand Worlds, the strongest was the Immortal Great Emperor. Even if their strength increased hundreds of times after being alienated, it would not be enough to pose a threat to Xiao Yan and Zhou Yuan.

At this moment, over five thousand gray mist giants radiated monstrous power. Opposite them were countless monsters roaring and shrieking as they burst out from the light membrane.

The gray giants formed a formation, their energies linking together, instantly annihilating countless monsters as they launched a violent assault toward the light membrane.

The monsters' strength was not particularly high, but their troublesome resurrection ability was disgusting. However, here in the world of the gray mist's Origin, once they died, they could never be resurrected again.

Yet even so, the gray mist, having swallowed countless space-time planes, produced an endless supply of alienated beings.

The light membrane was struck, sending out ripples. The next instant, deafening roars erupted, and monsters continuously emerged from the light membrane, resisting the attacks of Xiao Yan's Clones.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan and Zhou Yuan watched this scene from afar with grim expressions.

"Can the energy within your body hold up?" Zhou Yuan asked Xiao Yan, watching the endless monsters.

"Energy isn't the key. The Souls of these Clones rely on me. Once they refine the gray mist, it's equivalent to them becoming independent, and my Divine Soul will be torn..." Feeling a stinging pain in his Soul, Xiao Yan said.

"This can't go on. I must take action as well." Hearing this, Zhou Yuan also manifested over twenty Clones.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's Clones begin to refine the gray energy, Xiao Yan did not say much; this would indeed alleviate some of the pressure on him.

Thus, a protracted tug-of-war began in this space. The Gray Mist World was waiting for Xiao Yan and Zhou Yuan's Clones to become alienated and self-destruct, while Xiao Yan and Zhou Yuan were waiting for the monsters to be completely exhausted.

The array formed by the over five thousand Clones preserved the strength of the vast majority of them, achieving maximum attack effect with minimal energy.

In this world, the passage of time was difficult to perceive. In this tug-of-war, no one knew how much time had passed—perhaps ten years, perhaps a hundred.

Finally, the roars gradually subsided.

At this moment, a massive, twisted human face appeared on the light membrane.

"Xiao Yan, accept the energy of God, and you will usher in a Rebirth." As soon as the face appeared, it spoke immediately, its voice booming as it reached the ears of Xiao Yan and Zhou Yuan in the distance.

"It seems it has a special fondness for you." Zhou Yuan's expression was a bit strange when he heard the twisted face speak. When he had previously encountered this eerie energy, it hadn't said a word to him.

Previously, not only had a mere giant shadow communicated with Xiao Yan, but now this entity, which was likely the consciousness of the gray mist, was also speaking to Xiao Yan, attempting to persuade him to absorb this eerie energy.

"Perhaps." Xiao Yan said thoughtfully, addressing the twisted face: "Just based on your actions of turning living beings into monsters, you still want me to accept it?"

"Xiao Yan, there is no difference between you and me. You create Cultivation Techniques, and isn't the purpose of forcibly changing the world's operation to make people live more happily?"

The corners of the face's mouth twisted into a startling arc as it continued: "Everything I do is also to let all living things attain happiness! Not only that, even their past suffering will be resolved by me."

"Ridiculous. By twisting the essence of life, are the beings who obtain this 'happiness' still the living creatures themselves?" Xiao Yan sneered, dismissing this twisted logic with disdain.

"If you respect the essence of life, why do you leave indelible marks in the hearts of those people? The strong tower over the weak—you have always held this concept, Xiao Yan!" The face let out a strange laugh, refuting Xiao Yan's statement.

"Evading the important to dwell on the trivial! I have never denied that, but your methods are too cruel; in this regard, our natures are different."

"Furthermore, stop talking to me about these things; I only find you disgusting! Since we both believe that the strong are supreme, we might as well let our abilities do the talking!" Xiao Yan shouted angrily. He felt immense disgust for such an evil existence that was heinous yet self-righteous.

"Xiao Yan, you are a hypocrite! Are you not aware of the suffering in the world? Since you want to change these things, yet you only scratch the surface, what have you actually changed?" The twisted face vibrated violently, mocking Xiao Yan.

"Those with different Daos cannot work together. I have my own standards of judgment in my heart, and it is not your place to lecture me!" Xiao Yan's expression was icy as he glared at the twisted face and spoke sternly.

"Don't argue with it; there is no point in talking more with such a monster." Seeing Xiao Yan being emotionally affected, Zhou Yuan, who was beside him, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder and said.

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing this, then formed hand seals with both hands, and thousands of Clones instantly reorganized their formation.

Seeing this, the twisted face did not speak again and secretly brewed something. It was merely a thought of some existence that had descended here as energy, and it had no offensive means.

Its greatest ability was to erode all things, but at this moment, those infected entities had been completely eliminated, leaving only this commander without an army.

In the distance, the energy of thousands of Clones continuously condensed, accumulating a fatal blow.

"Hum!"

A burst of energy, the most powerful to date, suddenly condensed, forming a pitch-black energy sphere radiating extreme fluctuations.

And the many Clones that had condensed this pitch-black energy, after completing this, sublimated to their limit on the spot, turning into streaks of clarity that merged into this pitch-black energy sphere.

Xiao Yan came before the energy sphere. Feeling the massive energy within it, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. Even for him, getting touched by a wisp of this energy would turn him into ash!

However, it was precisely this level of energy that was needed to completely destroy this eerie energy!
