Chapter 1955 - 414: Curse
However, the black substance at the bottom of the lake was relentless, following him as it shot into the sky, and its speed was dozens of times faster than his.
In an instant, he was consumed by the black substance emerging from the depths of the lake.
"Little brother!"
Immortal Bai Ruo shouted loudly, his worry coming from the heart.
He immediately took action, using powerful mana to attack the black substance.
But the black substance was like smoke, and his mana was unable to eliminate it at all.
Just when everyone thought this matter had nothing to do with them, the black substance suddenly extended several demon hands formed from smoke, reaching out to grab them.
Seeing this, the Emperor of Beitun Kingdom was terrified and hurriedly fled with Princess Qingyan.
Immortal Bai Ruo also dared not confront it and quickly fled.
When they had run far enough away, the demon hands gradually retracted, and then the entire black substance fell back into Snow Moon Lake, disappearing from sight.
Immortal Bai Ruo, the Emperor of Beitun Kingdom, and Princess Qingyan stood dumbfounded, staring at the scene. Besides lingering fear, there was a sense of regret.
Of course, what they regretted was not Lin Yifan, but the Heart Moon Pearl.
That was one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations Beasts, the Heart Moon Pearl, extremely rare, and it disappeared right before their eyes.
"Wasn't he at the second marker point? Why did he come to the fourth marker point?" Princess Qingyan asked Immortal Bai Ruo.
"A few hours ago, the little brother couldn't endure the wind and snow, so he came over to switch places with me; I agreed, so he ended up at this marker point," Immortal Bai Ruo replied.
"Alas! Such a pity, the Heart Moon Pearl is just gone like that."
Princess Qingyan sighed, overly frustrated.
"Let's go, there's nothing worth lingering here," proposed the Emperor of Beitun Kingdom.
Now that the ominous object had appeared, the entire Snow Moon Mountain area would become extremely unsafe, so he didn't want to stay any longer.
"How about we wait a few more days? Perhaps the little brother has great luck and isn't dead?" Immortal Bai Ruo suggested.
"Bai Ruo, you and I both know that being attacked by an ominous object, even if you manage to walk out alive, you won't live for long," the Emperor of Beitun Kingdom responded.
"You wanted the Heart Moon Pearl, right? When he comes out, let him give it to us," Immortal Bai Ruo explained.
With this reminder, Princess Qingyan suddenly realized this point too.
That bastard had many Constellation Beads on him, worth several hundred or even thousands of years' collection of Constellation Beads from several countries, so they couldn't afford to miss this treasury.
Thus, she also requested the Emperor of Beitun Kingdom to stay for a few more days.
Both of them wanted to wait a few days, and the Emperor of Beitun Kingdom was too embarrassed to leave alone, so he chose to face the difficulty with them.
If Lin Yifan hadn't come out within these few days, no matter who advised them, he would leave.
On the other side, after being consumed by the black substance, Lin Yifan quickly fled into the Immortal Ring.
However, his body was entwined with the black substance, and it had already entered his body, invading his soul.
Before long, he felt himself losing clarity, then becoming extremely irritable, completely beyond control.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
He continuously unleashed powerful forces around him, wantonly destroying.
The four spiritual trees within the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring hid in the corners, shivering in fear.
They were scared silly, not knowing why Brother Lin was acting insane.
"Is he heartbroken from emotional setbacks, going mad?"
"I think he's experiencing a cultivation deviation."
"I think he's poisoned."
. . .
"Can he still be saved in this condition?"
"At this rate, this place will eventually be destroyed by him, and he'll also die by suicide."
"At that time, we would find it hard to get out."
"Let me think of a way, let me think of a way."
As the eldest here, the Enlightenment Tree calmed down and pondered a response.
Suddenly, it had a flash of insight, gazing resolutely at Lin Yifan.
Discovering that the substance on Lin Yifan was indeed that kind of thing, it cast a spell to purify this evil substance.
Gradually, Lin Yifan began to calm down, no longer so irritable.
Seeing the Enlightenment Tree had a solution, the other three spiritual trees collectively breathed a sigh of relief. They were genuinely afraid Lin Yifan would just perish like that.
After a few minutes, Lin Yifan opened his bright eyes, feeling a sense of peace.
"Phew!"
After taking a long breath, he was very curious about who saved him, so he looked behind.
He found a few spiritual trees and asked, "Who made the move just now?"
"It was him, Brother Enlightenment Tree!"
The three spiritual trees unanimously pointed towards the Enlightenment Tree, not daring to take credit.
But the Enlightenment Tree felt that Lin Yifan's gaze was peculiar, somewhat unfriendly, and it couldn't help but feel a chill in its heart.
Expressionless, Lin Yifan walked straight towards the Enlightenment Tree without a word.
Seeing him like this, the Enlightenment Tree retreated step by step, trembling, "Brother Fan, I just saved you, not harmed you, you have to differentiate that!"
"Brother, you are truly a god to have been able to resolve this stuff, I'm really grateful."
When he reached in front of the Enlightenment Tree, Lin Yifan grabbed it with both hands, suddenly overflowing with excitement and gratitude.
Being grabbed by Lin Yifan, the Enlightenment Tree was extremely flattered.
It just thought Lin Yifan was going to eat it since if he wanted to commit suicide, and it saved him, it would have been obstructing him.
"Brother Fan, don't be too excited, don't be too excited. A small matter, not worth mentioning."
"You're my lifesaver, how can I not be excited, not mention it?" Lin Yifan responded.
"Can you put me down?" the Enlightenment Tree inquired.
Being held like this made it feel like a pet, a bit awkward.
Realizing it seemed out of place, Lin Yifan put down the Enlightenment Tree, then eagerly asked, "What is this stuff? How were you able to remove it?"
"This is a kind of Taoist incantation, extremely evil, difficult to remove. If one's Taoist skills aren't high enough, or the soul isn't strong enough, one might be devoured by it, then die ghostly," the Enlightenment Tree answered.
"I see."
Lin Yifan hadn't expected something so terrifying to exist within Snow Moon Lake, it was truly horrifying.
This should be the ominous thing Immortal Bai Ruo spoke of, very powerful, no wonder even major figures in the Mysterious Immortal Fifth Realm can't return once caught by it.
But why is there such an evil thing in Snow Moon Lake, and how did it form?
He had to find someone to clarify: "Do you know how this thing formed?"
"This Taoist incantation can also be called a curse, derived from the malicious thoughts of those with ulterior motives, with evil Taoist thoughts," the Enlightenment Tree answered.
"There are actually demons at the bottom of Snow Moon Lake?"
Lin Yifan was astonished.
But he had only heard of evil Yin Spirit Masters and Moonlight Cultists, he hadn't heard of demons existing in this world!
Yin Spirit Masters and Moonlight Cultists aren't considered demons; real demons are cold-blooded and ruthless, with only slaughter in their hearts.
It's truly strange, what exactly is it?
