With all these indicators, Yi Yun had already guessed what had happened.
However, Yi Yun did not know what sort of strange transformations the evil energy had undergone. Why did it grow so much in just a few years?
Yi Yun hesitated slightly as he sank his perception into the Purple Crystal. He activated the Purple Crystal’s vision to its limits as he probed deep into the origins of the evil energy’s transformation.
And at this moment…
Whew!
The evil energy that had pervaded the masked man’s soul sea seemed to receive a stimulation as it suddenly shrunk!
From this contraction, Yi Yun realized that the evil energy had split into numerous filaments and it had infiltrated the entire soul sea of the masked man.
Now, all the filaments were being withdrawn.
These filaments were extremely thin, like hyphae. And the evil energy was like a parasitic mushroom. It spread out its numerous hyphae, deep into the masked man’s soul sea, and it absorbed his energy without a trace!
Upon realizing this, Yi Yun felt a chill. This scene was indeed eerie!
The evil energy very quickly shrunk into a ball.
It had become very alert.
Yi Yun understood that it had sensed the existence of the Purple Crystal when he probed it with his energy vision.
The Purple Crystal was the nemesis of all energy.
The Purple Crystal was the arch enemy of such an evil energy. Just sensing a tiny bit of it was like a mouse encountering a cat. This was a repression that came from a survival instinct.
However, Yi Yun had only used his energy vision to probe it. The aura that came from the Purple Crystal was still too veiled. The evil energy had still not evolved into a living organism. It only had its instincts, but no intelligence. When the Purple Crystal’s repression disappeared, the evil energy slowly restored itself to its original calm state.
Soon after, it silently stretched its energy filaments out and with an extremely slow speed, spread them throughout the masked man’s soul sea.
And throughout all this, the masked man did not seem to discover any of this!
The cold and eerie masked man and the evil energy that resided in his soul sea.
One was animating a corpse, while the other was lodged deep in the soul sea, silently devouring energy. This combination gave one the chills.
At this moment, the golden masked man’s gaze had moved away from Yi Yun.
With no one daring to object, the masked man sneered, “Very good.”
The tall and short duo behind the masked man understood his intentions. They walked towards the square with a smile hanging on their faces. They checked the injuries of the people present. Anyone who was injured by the Yuan Qi blast would be sent down Greatsword Mountain, no matter how minor the wound was!
Those geniuses that were eliminated were sent down the platform with resignation and a sense of indignant.
They had came here in high spirits, but now, it was more humiliating than those whose applications had failed.
“Now, all those who are still standing on the platform, you have passed the test and you can formally join the Heavenly Dao Union. However, don’t assume that you can sit back and relax. In the world of desolate beasts, only the strongest desolate beasts have the right to enjoy the best food. In the world of us warriors, in the Heavenly Dao Union, we follow the same principle.”
