Chapter 290 - 290 Flying into Ye Xuan’s Body
However, his heart was beating particularly violently in his chest right now. He felt that it was about to burst out from his chest.
Shen Changling noticed his strange behavior and helped him block a humanoid creature that was about to attack him. He quickly asked, “Elder Ye, what’s wrong with you?”
Ye Xuan looked confused. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know what’s going on either. My heart suddenly beat very fast just now.”
Shen Changling saw something. His mouth opened wide, and he revealed a shocked expression. He stuttered, “This…”
!!
From the distance, there seemed to be something flying towards them. The humanoid creatures avoided the flying object as if they were scared of it. They dodged out of its way, quickly forming a path in the process.
Ye Xuan and Shen Changling finally saw what it was.
It was a bright red, beating heart!
However, the heart looked too sinister and evil. The dark red color was filled with an ominous aura. The arteries and veins were particularly ugly, like ancient patterns and symbols. If one stared at it for a long time, they would have a splitting headache.
The heart was also surrounded by black Qi, to the extent that it could give people nightmares at a glance.
It wasn’t very big in size, but the moment it flew over, Shen Changling felt the pressure of endless flesh and blood pouncing towards them. He felt as though the heart had a bloody mouth and wanted to swallow them alive.
In contrast, even the featureless humanoid creatures next to him appeared amiable.
Shen Changling only glanced at the heart for a moment, and he felt a little flustered. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face was extremely pale. He lowered his head and forced himself not to look at the heart.
On the other hand, Ye Xuan stared at it and subconsciously touched his chest. He actually felt that his heart was beating in sync with the rhythm of this strange heart in front of him.
Was this an illusion?
Soon, the high priest jumped off the altar and teleported to where the two of them were. He stared at the heart with a burning gaze. Although he did not know what the problem was, the sacrificial ritual was not over.
He had to bring the heart back to the altar.
Before everyone’s eyes, the heart of flesh and blood flew directly into Ye Xuan’s body.
“Elder Ye!”
“Ye Xuan!”
Shen Changling and Qian Yuan’s voices rang out at the same time. Even the high priest was dumbfounded. He stared at the scene in front of him, but it was too late to stop it.
“How could this be…”
The insufferably arrogant high priest’s voice was somewhat sluggish.
Endless black Qi emanated from Ye Xuan’s body. Shen Changling squinted. He felt that the black Qi looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
“Ah!”
The high priest shrieked, as if he had suffered a huge blow. He exclaimed, “Why would Master choose such a lowly human to be His spokesperson in the human world?”
He stretched out his bark-like hands and grabbed at Ye Xuan. However, before he could touch Ye Xuan’s body, black mist began to fizz out violently around Ye Xuan. The high priest pulled back his hands as though he had been electrocuted.
The high priest once again let out an earth-shattering scream. Just from the sound, one could imagine how much pain he was suffering at the moment. Half of his hands were corroded by the black mist, as if it was a punishment for his offense and disrespect.
Even though he was unwilling to accept this outcome, he didn’t dare to act rashly.
Shen Changling and Qian Yuan were similarly in disbelief. “What did you mean by that?”
The high priest stared at Shen Changling. He had thought that these two little ants would be dealt with quickly, but he had expected them to be able to hold on until now. One of them even interfered in his ritual.
He shouted, “Can’t you tell? This heart is one of Master’s most precious hearts. It’s supposed to mature now so that Master’s will can descend. My body should have been the best vessel for it!”
This huge piece of information revealed through these sinister words stunned Shen Changling and Qian Yuan for a long time.
Ye Xuan’s body was actually occupied by the so-called Master through this ominous heart. Such an evil method defied common sense and was not allowed by the world at all. It was simply against the will of the heavens.
However, the high priest did not care about the means. In fact, he was proud of it. His face was even fanatical. He was eager to welcome the arrival of his Master, even if he had to pay with his life.
“You’re crazy!” Shen Changling couldn’t help but say.
The high priest scoffed and replied, “What do you lowly ants know? Master’s glory had enveloped my body. It is a great honor for my body to become a vessel for his incarnation.”
His tone sank as he looked at Ye Xuan gloomily.
He continued, “But now, all my plans are ruined! I did not think that the will of Master would descend on this lowly ant. It was definitely my mistake. I’m guilty. I’m a sinner.”
He mumbled, “Please forgive me, my Master. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
The high priest had wanted to stop the heart from flying into Ye Xuan’s body. However, judging from his hands being burned just now, he could not reverse the situation. He knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. The speed at which his expression changed really made the onlookers speechless.
However, other than the countless humanoid creatures, the only living people present were Shen Changling and Qian Yuan.
The originally evil and ferocious high priest began to go mad. He kept repeating that he was guilty. He was in no mood to care about Shen Changling and Qian Yuan. They suspected that he had gone insane.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Changling helped Qian Yuan up from the altar and asked, “Are you okay? “
