Chapter 587: Chapter 297: Heart of the Giant

Baiyi was silent for a moment.

He turned around, his body returning to the Light Side: ”Mr. Adis, are you okay?”

”I’m fine.”

Dias struggled to stand, looking at Baiyi with a complex expression. The last time they met in reality, the latter was only at the Golden Middle Tier, but now... he had already become someone Dias could only look up to...

”If you’re fine, then go back, I have taken the Heart of the Giant.”

Baiyi said calmly, turning to walk towards the innermost passage.

It had been blasted open by missiles, revealing a massive heart that beat continuously with a thumping sound.

Dias was stunned for a moment but ultimately said nothing.

He had a premonition that both he and the City Lord of Beiyuan City would break through to Legendary within two years.

Even sooner.

But even if the Federation’s number of Legendaries increased, there was still only Baiyi among the Legendary Alchemists.

The Heart of the Giant...

Regardless of identity or strength, the council had nothing to say.

Quietly glancing at Baiyi and the huge mechanical dwarf obediently following him, Dias turned and dragged the corpse of the Honorary Legislator out of Sin City.

Baiyi glanced at the huge machine: [How much longer?]

Zero: [The opponent’s AI has ceased resistance; full control of Yang Xiong’s AI in three seconds. Moon Side’s data repository has been found and categorized for you.]

Baiyi stopped walking and observed seriously, a trace of amazement flashing in his eyes.

In the Xia system, any machine capable of producing a soul could be called a Mechanical Life Form, such as some AIs, and in the New God or Ancient God Era, they could even become citizens of certain kingdoms or establish their own.

Moon Side’s idea was indeed stunning, capable of growth like living beings, and furthermore... the ideal Plague Gold could even evolve after continuously absorbing energy.

However, from Moon Side’s current achievements, some aspects were indeed quite immature.

Now it could be completely perfected... at least it could be turned into a very terrifying weapon.

Baiyi looked back, reached out, and sent this thing into the Demon Realm, intending to perfect it after returning to Dongwu City and resolving Luoning’s matters.

If the operation is viable, something truly monstrous should be able to form on Yang Xiong’s corpse, with high growth potential.

Baiyi thought of the Undying Curse from the second Nightmare World; he still had a piece of it. If the update rate is fast enough...

Plague Gold at full skill level + two Special Skill Points + Undying Curse + Yang Xiong + Demigod Power + remaining Power of the Bizarre = a piece of Forbidden Knowledge.

Could even allow the Light Side to break through to Legendary while surpassing the combat power of the Dark Side.

Baiyi pondered, constantly instructing Zero to record his thoughts.

Thump... thump...

The heartbeat of the Heart of the Giant grew closer.

A strong sense of danger suddenly loomed, but Baiyi disregarded it, inspecting the Heart of the Giant ahead.

As the black mist approached from behind.

Spiritual Stagnation!

A long-unused domain suddenly expanded, revealing a mature woman, dressed fully in blood clothes and with a perfect face, not far behind him.

Her long nails were less than half a meter from Baiyi.

”Long time no see, Ai Nuan.”

Baiyi’s Spiritual Power fluctuated slightly, clearly producing sound without moving his lips.

Ai Nuan’s scarlet eyes were filled with killing intent and a hint of... fear.

This person’s form clearly wasn’t at Legendary, so how could he suppress her to the point where she couldn’t move?

The power within her surged crazily, but she couldn’t move at all, only able to float suspended in this azure domain.

A tendril of soul extended from Baiyi’s body, slowly dragging Ai Nuan towards him.

The process was slow, yet Ai Nuan’s heart incessantly sank, filled with shock, despair, fear, and bewilderment.

Numerous emotions rose in her heart, but she couldn’t stop the current situation.

”Let me see, forcefully breaking through to Legendary by devouring 99% of one’s own kind, huh?”

”This Path to Legend seems a bit weak.”

”However, I can give you a chance to live....”

Baiyi spoke, his eyes gradually tinged with scarlet.

A ferocious, evil aura that could even twist the world faintly appeared. The soul tendril retracted, but Baiyi’s lengthened hair split, wrapping around Ai Nuan’s neck.

Spiritual Stagnation retracted.

”If the hair breaks, you die,” Baiyi said calmly.

Saying this, Baiyi walked forward.

A thin strand of hair restrained a powerful Legendary, the fear in Ai Nuan’s eyes was undeniable. She tried to speak, but the aura of the Divine Abomination made her instinctively tremble. A slight tightening of the hair rendered her speechless.

She could only float behind Baiyi quickly, not daring to keep more than thirty centimeters away from him.

Baiyi paid Ai Nuan no mind. She had used the Evil Alchemist’s pursuit of strength to turn them into fruit, which she then consumed, rising to Legendary.

This shortcut-like path did render her somewhat weaker compared to a Legendary Evil Spirit that broke through normally.

But she still had her advantages. What Baiyi currently knew and felt was still very interesting.

Ai Nuan might have originally just been a Xia person who died in utter hatred, turning into an Evil Spirit due to that extreme resentment.

Before those Evil Alchemists were consumed as fruit, Ai Nuan certainly revealed the truth to them and cruelly rendered them powerless to resist, allowing them to be consumed with the same hatred as hers.
