Chapter 197 Why can't I feel relaxed?
"Oh my god! Are this guy's skills so cool?"
Looking at the bloody storm about to break out below, Silver Wolf, a veteran gamer, couldn't help but sigh with envy.
But Xiao Tianhuo on the side frowned, as if Dan Heng's actions were not as optimistic as he thought.
"What's wrong? Could it be that A Ren will..."
Kafka glanced sideways at the little guy beside her. Although the other party did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations, she could still feel the solemnity of the air around him.
Xiao Tianhuo shook his head and said in a serious tone: "No, this is no longer a dangerous situation for Ren alone. Dan Heng...cannot escape the consequences of using this move."
Hearing this, Silver Wolf was the first to react. She looked at Little Skyfire and asked in confusion, "You mean, this skill of his not only hurts the enemy, but also hurts himself?"
"That's right, the power that was damaged was the power you expected him to use." Xiao Tianhuo said with certainty.
"What?!"
The two of them showed expressions of disbelief at the same time.
Looking at the blood-red cyclone below, with surging waves and as sharp as the tip of a gun, Xiao Tianhuo began to analyze.
"Although I don't know how he figured out this method of using blood to activate the power that was originally not released, I can feel the power in his body weakening, oh no, dissipating…"
"Yisan..." Kafka murmured softly with a heavy face.
"If this farce continues like this, I think it's over. I don't need to say anything more, right?"
Xiao Tianhuo guessed that the reason for all this was most likely because of the Dragon Lord power contained in Dan Heng's blood.
Although the nature of the immortal aura within it is unknown, it has a miraculous reaction with the power of death, allowing it to break through boundaries and achieve effects beyond expectations.
However, the power of the dead did not accept the power of the immortal dragon, and began to wither and dissolve it indiscriminately.
Although it is possible that the power of Dragon Lord was not dissolved due to its own characteristics, the fact is that the power of Dragon Lord after taking effect not only did not return to Dan Heng's body, but instead dissipated to the surroundings and merged into the world.
"Really…"
Thinking about this, Xiao Tianhuo couldn't help but sigh. Why are things always so tortuous?
He stood up slowly, and the Jiemie under his seat instantly appeared in his hand, but the other two people sitting on the swords were still floating steadily in the void.
"It seems that I will have to take action in the end..."
...
At this moment on the Boyue Ancient Sea.
The vines climbed up Blade's body little by little, and the blood-red flowers slowly covered it.
But this is not protection and healing, it is the shackles and chains before the criminals are punished...
The familiar yet novel feeling surged into Ren's heart again, and he didn't know whether he should be thankful or regretful...
Should I be glad that I will soon have that experience again, or should I be sad that I will never have it?
He gently flapped his nostrils, and the strong smell of blood and death made a hint of indifference flash across Ren's eyes. The former's breath was getting stronger and stronger than a few breaths ago.
Finally, is it coming?
...
At the same time, dark clouds rolled over the sky above the ancient sea, seemingly brewing a warning and venting sorrow.
Feeling the original power of this body rapidly dissipating, Dan Heng's face was full of calmness. He didn't care about this change.
The blood-colored cyclone and the thick deathly aura intertwined with each other, causing the potential energy that was ready to strike to reach its peak at this moment.
"The cave is transformed into a dream, a long dream..."Holding the Jiyun Spear tightly, Dan Heng swung it slowly.
As he moved, the huge blood-red cyclone surrounding the tip of the gun also flowed.
In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color. The vast ancient sea and the huge world seemed to be left with only a deep red.
Boom—boom—boom—
The next moment, thunder roared, and the thick lightning struck the sea surface with great anger, but it never touched Dan Heng even a little bit.
Bloody slowly lifted it into the air, and the tip of Jiyun's gun pointed straight at the blade below that was imprisoned by the vines.
"break!"
As Dan Heng shouted, Jiyun flew out of his hand, and a huge blood-colored cyclone also pierced out.
The rotating blood-colored cyclone penetrated into the body of the blade without any hindrance, but considering its size, it seemed to crush the opponent's body directly.
The howling wind seemed like a mournful cry.
The color of blood spread throughout the sea, and the water on the sea surface beneath his feet was splashing everywhere. Even the broken waves around him were dyed scarlet.
Looking at the sinful blood-red sea below, Dan Heng's face showed no sadness or joy, and the gradually fading thunder in his ears seemed like its last aftermath.
The bloody waves hit his body, but all he got was confusion.
Is this the end?
But why... I still can't feel relaxed or relieved?
"Because... this is the sin engraved in your bones. If you want to pay for it... cough... you have to pay with your own life!"
At this moment, an extremely weak voice interrupted Dan Heng's thoughts.
Hearing the sound, he glanced sideways in disbelief. The scene before him made him extremely alert.
"Why? Are you surprised that I'm still alive?"
The blade lay on Jiemie's sword as if it were in pieces. Even though the wounds on his limbs were so deep that the bones were visible and his chest was still growing flesh granulations hideously, he still did not forget to mock Dan Heng.
"As someone who has also committed sins, how could I possibly let..."
"Stop talking, no one will think you're quiet if you don't talk. If I hadn't intervened, do you really think you would still have a chance to speak now?"
Just as Ren was about to continue talking, a voice suddenly interrupted him, and also attracted Dan Heng's attention.
Looking at the cold child in front of him, who was wearing a black cloak, had a lot of wild hair on his head, and had a face that he could not imagine, Dan Heng's eyes gradually turned cold.
"I'm still wondering, during the battle, who was the source of that vague sense of surveillance from above...?"
As he spoke, the Jiyun that had originally sunk into the ancient sea instantly flew back into Dan Heng's hand. He raised his spear and pointed it at the other party with an inquiring look.
"Tell me, why do you have such a face, and why do you stand on the same side as the Star Core Hunter?"
"Me?" Xiao Tianhuo pointed at himself, chuckled, and said, "Compared to my identity, you should pay more attention to yourself."
Faced with the other party's inexplicable words, Dan Heng did not answer. He held Jiyun's gun tightly, but his hands trembled involuntarily.
"You feel it, right? After using that move, you are now in a critical state of weakness. Do you really think you still have the strength to fight?"
Looking at the still calm Dan Heng, Xiao Tianhuo crossed his arms and spoke in a merciless tone.
"What do you want?"
Even though he was aware of his current condition, Dan Heng still tried to calm himself down.
He could sense that although the other party's aura was extremely dangerous, he had no intention of taking advantage of the situation, so there should still be room for conversation.
Xiao Tianhuo pinched his chin and said leisurely: "Originally, I wanted to force out your power, but your previous actions were beyond my expectations."
"So, let me try to redeem myself..."Chapter 198 Everything I've Got Through Is All I Have
"What do you want to do?"
Dan Heng stared at Xiao Tianhuo warily as he slowly raised his hand, and he inexplicably felt a sense of detachment in his heart.
He had a premonition that the other party was about to do something extremely dangerous.
Snap——
It was a solo in the silence.
The crisp sound of snapping fingers seemed particularly loud at this moment, but Xiao Tianhuo did not answer the other party.
Then, without any warning, an invisible field instantly enveloped the sea area.
The waves that were still surging and the blood color that was gradually spreading on the sea surface seemed to be paused and were strangely frozen in mid-air, or perhaps the trend of spreading had stopped.
"I am the end, and all things begin again..."
A voice like a divine command echoed in this invisible realm.
despair--
Ta-ta-ta-ta
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
The next moment, the sound of the clock hands ticking seemed to be the only echo in the silence.
The rolling waves, the blood-red sea surface, the deliberately roaring clouds, everything within the scope of this area magically began to reverse.
Immediately afterwards, all the blood color separated from the Boyue Ancient Sea and quickly gathered together, while the huge blood-colored cyclone that had already pierced out and completely dissipated began to condense again.
The blood flowed back, and the lightning that was hitting the sea surface flew back into the clouds, and the power of the Immortal Dragon Lord that originally escaped from Dan Heng's body and merged into the world of 㰱 also slowly emerged.
As the blood-colored cyclone gradually disappeared, all the power returned to Dan Heng's body, leaving only the pure white sea under his feet and the two people standing facing each other.
"Ha ha..."
Breaking free from the invisible restraints, Dan Heng breathed heavily, looking at the sea beneath his feet that was condensed from the power of life and death. For the first time, he felt a sense of unreality.
What's wrong with me… ?
Why is this the scene before my eyes? Was everything that just happened an illusion?
The blade on the opposite side had already recovered from the previous injuries.
At this moment, he was staring at his hands with his head covered in confusion, with no intention of fighting at all.
As for the two people sitting in the air, the virtual data projection of Silver Wolf had a dazed look on his face, with his mouth open with a silly smile, just like when he was disconnected after being invaded by the Erosion Fang in the simulated universe.
Kafka at the side recovered the fastest, but judging from her slightly gloomy face, she didn't seem to be in good shape either.
"Illusion?"
Suddenly, a puzzled voice sounded, and he looked at Dan Heng, as if he had seen through his inner thoughts.
"I'm sorry, although what happened just now is real, it's not the case now..."
As Xiao Tianhuo spoke, everyone's thoughts were brought back to reality.
"What... did you do?" Ren looked up at the little Skyfire sitting on the Jiemie hanging in the air in front of him and asked in a hoarse voice.
"What did I do?" Hearing this, Hou Yi glanced at him casually and said calmly, "As I said just now, I just tried to make up for some mistakes that shouldn't have happened."
"Isn't this exactly what you thought?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and cast his gaze towards Kafka above him, who instantly understood what he meant.
"Are you..."
"Oh..."
Xiao Tianhuo shrugged, seemingly not caring about what the other party would think of his actions.
He looked at Dan Heng who was silent beside him and asked, "Don't let me say more. You should feel it too, right?"
Dan Heng nodded and stared at the other person for a long time before he spoke: "How did you do it?"
"What do you think of this?" Xiao Tianhuo asked back mercilessly.
"In my opinion, power is only a means after all. According to the plan, I should have forced you to use the power you didn't intend to use. But now you obviously need to think more."
Looking at Dan Heng, Xiao Tianhuo pointed to his head as he spoke.
"think?"There was a hint of doubt in Dan Heng's eyes.
"That's right." Xiao Tianhuo nodded affirmatively, with a hint of teasing flashing in his calm eyes, "Don't you want to make a break with the past?"
"Then let's see if you really have the determination."
"What...?"
Before Dan Heng understood what the other party said, he felt his eyelids drooping heavily.
He slowly closed his eyes and fell backwards.
However, the soft sea beneath his feet, like a cradle of water, did not catch Dan Heng, but quickly twisted away from his body as if it had seen the god of plague.
thump--
Dan Heng plunged headfirst into the turbulent ancient sea that seemed to be pouring out blood from the mouth of an ancient beast, without splashing even a drop of water or tiny grains of sand.
"Is this what you are thinking?"
A sword walked slowly over and looked at Dan Heng, who was gradually sinking into the hollow of the sea. He couldn't help but laugh at him, "You are so naive to think that you can force him to use that power by using the sea water."
"I don't blame you for being hard of hearing."
Xiao Tianhuo sat down and turned around. He was too lazy to waste words with this "stubborn and cheerful big boy" next to him.
On the other side, the two figures hanging high in the air also fell down.
Silver Wolf's virtual data projection has now been restored. She put her hands on her hips, looked at Little Skyfire warily, and asked, "Did you just invade me?"
"I'm fine, how could I suddenly be disconnected?"
"You think too much... I have no reason to target your game account..."
Xiao Tianhuo twitched his lips. He understood why the girl was so alert to the situation just now.
"So, tell me, what's your idea behind this..." Looking at the deep Boyue Ancient Sea where Dan Heng's figure could no longer be seen, Kafka raised her hand to signal.
But Xiao Tianhuo did not answer her directly. Instead, he crossed his arms and asked her, "How do you think you can sum up a person's whole life?"
Looking at Kafka who looked thoughtful, Xiao Tianhuo shook his head first, spreading his hands helplessly and said: "To be honest, I don't know if there is an answer to this question myself."
"So, I asked an adult who knows a little about philosophy to help me solve my doubts..."
"Next, let us wait quietly..."
...
The dark currents in the ancient sea were like chains from the past, they imprisoned Dan Heng, pulling at him and never giving him freedom.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Dan Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his hands supporting the ground, his eyes were dark due to dizziness.
A soft, delicate, and dry touch passed through his fingers. It was a long time before Dan Heng could see clearly the scene in front of him.
It was a ruined city, submerged by an endless sea of sand.
A man sat quietly on the broken fence, looking very lonely.
"Kaye... what's up?"
Dan Heng called out the other person's name with some uncertainty.
The strange environment and the man who was familiar but strange at the moment.
"Yes, it's me."
Kai nodded slightly, and Danheng confirmed his identity.
Dan Heng was still worried. He looked around and asked, "Where is this place? Why did Mr. Kai come here? Why am I here?"
"It doesn't matter where this place is, but there are some topics that I hope I can give you some help with."
Kai did not answer directly, but looked at Danheng and asked: "Danheng, how do you view yourself?"
This question seemed to stump Dan Heng. He subconsciously lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer.
"If that's the case, let me tell you what I think..."
Kai shook his head, seemingly unhappy with the situation.
"For me, what I've been through is all I have..."
In this sea of sand, Kai had had a conversation with the last Kaslana.
Now, the person being talked to this time is not an old friend, but a partner in trouble...Chapter 199 Kaslana, I Left Her Away
"Mr. Kevin, what do you mean?"
Looking at the man sitting on the broken desert fence, Dan Heng frowned slightly, and the sense of unreality in his heart rose again.
"Still worried about whether I'm real?"
Kevin seemed to have seen through Dan Heng's thoughts and asked directly, "Do you need me to tell you your true situation?"
Hearing this, the caution on Dan Heng's face wavered again.
"What?"
"See for yourself..."
As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand and swiped it across the air. A hole was torn in the solemn yellow sea of sand, and in the gap, only deep darkness and a heavy figure could be seen.
Kevin raised his lips slightly and asked knowingly, "Who is that figure...?"
"It's me."
Dan Heng pursed his lips and took over the conversation without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dan Heng felt that the heat in the air and the warmth of the sun on his back disappeared instantly.
With the transformation came a bone-chilling chill far darker than the lightless dungeon in memory, and as deep as an ancient ocean.
In an instant, the sin that did not belong to him climbed up his body again, trying to bind him, and the memories that did not belong to him emerged in his mind again, trying to drown him.
Dan Heng propped his hands on the sand, sweat beading on his forehead, pain and resistance revealed in his brows.
"Do you feel it? Dan Heng, in reality you are thinking..."
Just when Dan Heng was in distress, that familiar voice sounded above his head again.
"Reality..."
Dan Heng struggled to support his body, slowly stood up, looked at the man who did not move, and asked: "So, this is the world of consciousness?"
"The world of consciousness?"
Kevin put his hands on the fence behind him, and the breeze with fine sand flowed through his fingers.
He looked up at the cloudless blue sky and whispered, "In a broad sense, this is indeed related to consciousness, but I prefer to call it another name - the Adam of the Spirit..."
Kevin shook his head helplessly. He looked at Dan Heng, raised his hand and said, "Just think of this as a corner of a dream..."
Spiritual Adam, what a dreamy name, but he is the product of the Stigmata Project and a dream that brings together everyone.
A dream that hijacked the end and imprisoned it, a dream called salvation...
As Prometheus who carried the Stigmata Core and stole the fire from it, even though the Stigmata Project eventually fell apart and the power of the end was completely given to the younger generation, Kevin still retained this dream.
However, this was no longer everyone's dream, but a fragmented dream that only Kevin was left in. Once again, this place became empty, with room for only two people…
But for Kevin, this is no longer important...
"Kevin, regarding the question just now, I..."
Looking at Kevin, Dan Heng no longer had any doubts, but he still couldn't give the other party his own answer to the question of "how he sees himself as a whole".
"Maybe I'm too impatient."
Kevin waved his hands, admitting that he had been too direct in his remarks.
In fact, he did not think he had a talent for guiding others.
Thinking back to when he was chasing the Fire Moth, he thought he was too harsh and scolded the rookie Kosmo until he cried.
The result was that afterwards he was at a loss and became extremely anxious. He scratched his ears and cheeks, beat his chest and stamped his feet, and was even misunderstood by others - was he upset because of a girl? !
This should be the truth, but why...even the armed puppets he made think he can enlighten others?
After thinking about it, Kevin shook his head gently, raised his hand and swept the fence buried in the dust, and said calmly: "Let's sit here and chat as friends."
"Um..."
Dan Heng agreed honestly. Although he looked calm, he was actually very confused.
For him, this change was too sudden.
Suddenly I wanted to deal with this blade that I had been avoiding, suddenly I wanted to make an end to the past that did not belong to me, suddenly I wanted to resist those people who had entangled me...
But what exactly do you want?Kevin looked at Dan Heng quietly. Perhaps it was beca
