No good!

Can't break free at all!

The gap in strength is too vast!

What should I do?!

What should I do now?!

Lin Zichen scanned his surroundings while his mind raced, desperately seeking a way to escape.

At this moment, his whole body was clenched in the massive grip of Ye Yongsheng, immobilized.

If he couldn't escape soon, he would quickly be subjected to soul possession by Ye Yongsheng.

Under the enhancement of the "Tianren Wisdom Root."

Quickly.

Lin Zichen thought of a way to escape.

A bold way to escape.

That was—self-destruction!

The sea beneath his feet still blazed with undying red flames.

Standing upon this sea of fire, if he self-destructed upon falling, he should be able to trigger the "Rebirth in Flames" biometric attribute.

And the revival point after being reborn in flames would most likely appear somewhere else, not still within the clutches of Ye Yongsheng, the treacherous Deputy Province Lord.

But all these were still just conjectures, everything remained unknown.

Because no one had tried it, no one knew whether self-destruction could lead to rebirth in flames, nor if it would refresh the revival point, and if it truly was refreshed, where it would appear.

Just as Lin Zichen hesitated whether to choose self-destruction for escape—

Ye Yongsheng, holding him with one hand, began to take action.

He summoned a pitch-black bead out of thin air with a mere thought.

The bead was only as big as a walnut.

Sleek on the surface.

Inside seemed to hide a black hole, the epitome of pitch darkness.

Upon seeing this bead, Lin Zichen sensed an extremely astonishing spiritual power from within.

The spiritual power contained in this bead was at least of Mythical Level existence.

Is this the tool used for possessing me?

Lin Zichen stared at the bead in front of him, his expression grave.

Opposite him.

Ye Yongsheng, unusually not uttering even a word of nonsense, immediately poured his own spiritual power into the bead in front of him, beginning the transfer of his will.

Simultaneously, he also began to extract Lin Zichen's spiritual power from afar, intending to strip his will away into nothing, then usurp, and occupy Lin Zichen's body with his own will.

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

Terrible pain!

The excruciating pain caused by the extraction of spiritual power made Lin Zichen's face contort.

It was a pain more heart-wrenching than drilling into the core.

However, pain was secondary.

What was crucial was that the spiritual power inside his body was being rapidly extracted, and it wouldn't be long before his body turned into an empty shell, becoming the vessel for possession.

Realizing this, Lin Zichen did not hesitate at all and immediately chose to self-destruct.

Being possessed, there was no glimmer of hope.

Self-destructing, there was still a glimmer of hope.

This was a multiple-choice question with a certain answer, no hesitancy needed.

As soon as the thought of self-destruction came, the next instant, Lin Zichen's body began to swell drastically, with his Blood Qi Power nearly bursting out like a volcanic eruption.

Noticing this, Ye Yongsheng quickly spread his spiritual power to suppress it, preventing Lin Zichen from self-destructing.

Under the spiritual suppression of a Mythical Level Expert.

The Blood Qi Power inside Lin Zichen that was about to burst forth was instantly subdued, unable to erupt and self-destruct.

This is bad!

Seeing his self-destruction successfully halted, Lin Zichen's face drastically changed.

Unable to self-destruct meant no chance for being reborn in flames.

The spiritual power would continue being extracted until his will was completely gone.

In the end, he would become a soulless shell of flesh, ready for the treacherous Deputy City Lord to possess.

Self-destruction wasn't viable...

Is there any other method to escape?

Relying on myself is definitely not working...

Call for help?

Who can I call for help?

Lin Zichen, enduring the severe pain of having his spiritual power forcibly extracted, had his brain spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to escape.

However, in such a short time, he couldn't think of any effective means to escape.

Just as half of Lin Zichen's spiritual power had been extracted and his will began to blur—

"Ah, noo—!"

Ye Yongsheng, right in front of him, suddenly cried out in pain, forcibly stopping the extraction of spiritual power.

Lin Zichen was startled, not understanding what had just happened.

But these were not the focal points.

The point was, he had escaped from Ye Yongsheng's spiritual suppression and could now flee.

Realizing this, Lin Zichen didn't dare to delay even a moment.

He immediately ignited all his Qi-Blood and spiritual power and fled from Ye Yongsheng at the highest speed.

The direction of his escape headed straight for City No. 1.

He needed to take Shen Qinghan who was still in the city and leave this place of trouble.

As he fled at high speed,

Lin Zichen intentionally dispersed a strand of spiritual power to observe the condition of Ye Yongsheng behind him.

To see what exactly had befallen the treacherous Deputy City Lord.

Why had he suddenly let out a painful scream?

As the spiritual power spread towards the rear,

Quickly, Lin Zichen observed the current state of Ye Yongsheng, and his brow furrowed slightly.

At this moment, Ye Yongsheng's body surface was rapidly sprouting a lot of fine fuzz, and his originally somewhat human-like face grew increasingly beast-like.

"Who... who is inside my body..."

"Who is erasing my will..."

"What on earth is happening..." Experience tales at empire

"..."

Ye Yongsheng's face showed panic, not understanding what was happening.

He intently stared at the pitch-black bead in front of him, suspecting that the bead was possessing him.

With this suspicion, he struggled to lift a huge beastly claw, drew the bead into his hand, and without any hesitation, squeezed hard—

"Crack!"
