554: Chapter 554

The voice of the old man inside the ring changed; even an existence like him had turned solemn, which was enough to show the severity of the situation.

Qin Yun looked at the body losing control in front of him. Combining the details he had just seen in the stone tablet space, everything clicked together in his mind.

This Legacy was not simply an Opportunity left for future generations.

It was more like a place of sealing.

It was a place where the Ancient Saint once suppressed the remnants of the Eerie.

That so-called Saint Dao Legacy was itself part of the sealing system.

Now that the Legacy had been forcibly taken, it was equivalent to pulling out the lock cylinder.

Thus, the Opportunity everyone was fighting for just moments ago had instantly become a fatal bane.

That Prodigy wasn't lucky at all.

He was just the one with the worst luck.

If he had taken this Legacy himself, the Eerie invasion would never have succeeded.

But since he didn't care for it and the Legacy went to the other man, the man naturally couldn't withstand the terrifying Eerie creature.

Before the canyon, the loss of control was still intensifying.

That person's mind was in total chaos; growls issued from his throat as Holy Light and black veins intertwined on his body, his aura extremely unstable.

He hadn't turned into a monster.

His body was being borrowed by the Eerie.

With both the newly acquired Saint Legacy and the enhancement of the Eerie corruption, his combat power was actually more troublesome than before.

A Prodigy standing nearby tried to help, but as soon as he activated his spiritual energy, he was sent flying by a wave of intertwined black and red energy, coughing up blood on the spot.

Some people wanted to run.

But the stone gate had not yet closed, and the opportunities inside had not fully dissipated, so no one was willing to leave.

The scene suddenly fell into chaos.

The only one who truly understood what was happening was Qin Yun.

He couldn't stay idle.

He was all too familiar with things like the Eerie.

If left alone, not a single person here today would be able to leave.

Moreover, the Solar Holy Body within him was a natural counter to such filth.

Qin Yun took a step forward.

As soon as he moved, he immediately became the focus of the entire field.

The people on the woman's side all tensed up.

Even those who were just watching the spectacle stopped what they were doing.

Qin Yun ignored them and threw a punch.

There was no hesitation or testing.

Activating his Solar Holy Body, a gold-and-red fist imprint shot through the air, smashing directly toward the body that had lost control.

The out-of-control Prodigy blocked instinctively.

Boom!

The black Qi was ignited by the Solar Fire on the fist imprint, letting out a sizzling sound as a large portion was burned away on the spot.

The out-of-control Prodigy let out a shrill shriek and was knocked back several steps.

It worked.

Everyone's spirits lifted, and they momentarily breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next moment, the situation changed.

The black Qi that had been burned away actually crawled back out from the man's flesh, even thicker than before.

Furthermore, the Eerie seemed to have learned how to borrow strength.

It directly triggered the Saint Legacy, and an even stronger power pushed back.

Qin Yun's gaze darkened.

The more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong.

The Solar Holy Body could suppress it, but it couldn't kill it.

The Eerie was hidden within the Saint Legacy; he couldn't strike with lethal force, or he would end up shattering the Legacy along with it.

And that Eerie was extremely difficult to obliterate; even when dispersed, it could reattach itself.

The opponent even began to use the clash to try and corrode his power in reverse.

Qin Yun threw several more punches in succession.

Every punch landed where the black Qi was thickest.

But it wasn't very effective.

He could fight it, but he couldn't break through for the time being.

Just as he was caught in a stalemate, an even older and grander will suddenly awakened in the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

It wasn't a remnant soul.

It wasn't an obsession.

It was a pure Body Dao imprint, the final power left by that Ancient Saint for a true successor.

This power did not go to save the person who had taken the Legacy.

Because that person had already been contaminated and lost his eligibility.

Instead, it locked onto Qin Yun.

Because Qin Yun was the first to truly reach the core.

And because Qin Yun was currently the only one who could suppress the Eerie head-on.

In the next instant, a stream of light invisible to others flew out from the depths of the Secret Realm and merged directly into Qin Yun's body.

Qin Yun's body jolted.

He immediately used this external force to activate the Body Scripture once again.

This time, he was going to push open the true door of Fusion.

The power of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body within him was triggered, no longer just standing by.

A strand of domineering Desolate Ancient Vitality was forcibly drawn out, moving toward the core of that solar sun.

The Solar Origin was blazing.

The Desolate Ancient Origin was heavy.

As soon as the two powers touched, they repelled each other violently.

The vitality in Qin Yun's body churned like an ocean, and his bones vibrated.

But he didn't stop.

He pushed the framework of the Body Scripture to its limit, forcibly pressing the two Origins together.

The original path of the Solar Holy Body was forcibly widened at this moment.

Ancient and heavy golden patterns began to appear on the surface of the crimson-gold sun suspended within his body.

It was no longer pure Yang.

It was a superposition of Yang and the Desolate Ancient.

The voice of the old man in the ring changed again.

"This is no longer the original Solar path!"

"You want to fuse two Sacred Bodies together?"

"Madman!"

At that moment, Qin Yun's body shook with a thunderous boom.

The prototype of a brand-new Physique slowly took shape within him.

It was not yet complete.

But it was no longer a pure Solar Holy Body.

The elder in the ring lost his voice.

"This... is this still the Solar Holy Body? A Solar Holy Body carrying Grandmist aura and Desolate Ancient Vitality! No, there's also the flavor of the Supreme Body."

"Solar Holy Body, Primordial Chaos Sacred Body, Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, Supreme Body."

"This Physique can be called the Taihuang Holy Venerable Sun Body..."

At the very moment the new Physique prototype formed, Qin Yun struck again.

The situation reversed instantly.

He stepped forward and threw a punch.

His fist no longer carried only Solar Fire.

It also carried the suppressing power of the Desolate Ancient.

Boom!

A corner of the black Qi on the out-of-control Prodigy was instantly crushed.

The Eerie tried to regather, but Qin Yun's second punch had already followed.

Punch after punch, he forcibly beat the corruption out of the strongest Prodigy's body.

The man's body twitched violently, and both the Holy Light and black veins collapsed together.

Finally, Qin Yun pressed one hand on the crown of the man's head and pointed with the other; his Heart Heavy Pupils opened, and a strand of Sword Intent fused with the power of his new Physique pierced in.

"Get out."

There was a muffled thud.

A mass of pitch-black, filthy Origin was forcibly stripped from that body.

It still tried to flee.

Qin Yun reached out and clenched his hand.

The powers of Solar and Desolate Ancient pressed down simultaneously, pinning it firmly in mid-air.

At the same time, the residual power left by the Ancient Saint was also triggered, turning into a Seal that covered it once more.

The remnant of the Eerie let out a silent shriek and was completely suppressed and destroyed.

And that strongest Prodigy, the moment the Eerie left his body, completely lost his life force and collapsed.

Silence returned to the canyon.

Everyone looked at the figure in the center, their gazes having completely changed.

From thinking he wasn't recognized to witnessing him clean up the mess with their own eyes, everyone's perception of him had been thoroughly transformed.

The woman stood at the back, looking at Qin Yun's back, finally understanding that his initial withdrawal was not a failure, but because he saw through things more clearly.

The turmoil subsided.

In the end, no one obtained that Saint Legacy.

But the greatest benefits had truly fallen into Qin Yun's hands.

The Ancient Saint's residual power.

The advancement of the Body Scripture.

And, the prototype of a brand-new Physique.

The old man in the ring, however, was still immersed in another layer of shock.

"How could there be remnants of the Eerie in this place?"

"The problem with this world is deeper than I thought."

Qin Yun did not speak.

He looked at the place where the Eerie had been suppressed; under his Heart Heavy Pupils, he caught a very faint trace.

An imperceptible black mark flashed and vanished in the Void Realm.

It was like a small remnant left by a larger system of corruption.

Qin Yun withdrew his gaze, his expression calm, but he had already noted this matter in his heart.

This world seems to have become unclean again.
