Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

140: Demonic possessionErlichandi’s Breakthrough this time was truly arduous, taking a full week.

However, for some reason, his mind could not find peace. This state of unease made his Breakthrough process exceptionally difficult.

Despite encountering numerous obstacles, Erlichandi ultimately managed to succeed in his Breakthrough, albeit by the narrowest of margins.

This good news filled him with excitement. He couldn’t wait to return home and share the joyous news with his companions.

And so, Erlichandi raced homeward, his heart brimming with joy and anticipation.

Yet, just as he was speeding home, someone suddenly blocked his path.

Erlichandi focused his gaze and saw that the person blocking him wore the emblematic attire of the Four Great Families.

His brow instantly furrowed. Without a moment’s hesitation, he struck, instantly killing the other party.

To Erlichandi, the Four Great Families had always been his enemies.

Now, they dared to actively seek him out? This was undoubtedly a provocation.

So what if they were strong? Weren’t their heirs still wiped out by me? They deserved it!

Since the other side was so tactless, he saw no need to be polite either.

As that messenger lackey fell, his face still bore an expression of disbelief, seemingly completely unprepared for Erlichandi to act so decisively.

With his dying breath, he muttered, ’Why... why not hear me out?’

However, Erlichandi had no time for such things. He didn’t even spare a glance at the fallen lackey before continuing his frantic dash towards home.

Home, for Erlichandi, was not just a place to live. It was the warm harbor he had built together with Koteski and the other four.

They were all companions from the same village, sharing a deep bond of friendship.

And the misfortune that befell the villagers was, to a large extent, because of Erlichandi himself.

Therefore, he felt a responsibility and duty to protect and provide for them.

When Erlichandi arrived at the home they had built together, the sight before him left him stunned—the entire courtyard was a scene of utter chaos, as if ravaged by a violent storm. In the air and across the yard, the scent of blood and bloodstains were everywhere!

His mind instantly flashed back to the moment of his Breakthrough, when his spirit had been so profoundly unsettled. Could there be a connection between the two?

Fear and worry flooded Erlichandi’s heart. He could not accept that terrifying thought.

’No... impossible. They can’t be hurt. Absolutely not...’ he muttered, his voice trembling slightly.

Yet, the chaotic, devastated courtyard lay before him, an unyielding reality no matter how much he denied it.

Erlichandi’s eyes gradually reddened. Tears welled up, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Like a madman, he searched frantically throughout the courtyard for any possible clue, hoping to find some trace, some hint of their whereabouts.

But no matter how hard he tried, he found nothing.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Erlichandi whirled around and sprinted out, heading straight for the spot where he had killed the Four Great Families’ errand runner.

However, when he arrived there, he found the corpse had vanished without a trace.

Erlichandi’s rage erupted like a volcano. He roared into the empty space, ’Ah! Damn it! You bastards! They’d better be unharmed, or every last one of you will pay with your lives!’

The aura emanating from Erlichandi faintly revealed a hint of the bizarre. It seemed like an aftereffect of his recent Breakthrough past the Bottleneck, causing his Realm to become unstable, even showing signs of Qi Deviation.

Yet, at this moment, Erlichandi was completely immersed in deep guilt, unable to extricate himself.

He clutched his head tightly, like someone mentally unhinged, muttering incessantly, ’Am I a jinx? The whole village died because of me!’ His voice was filled with despair and self-blame, heartbreaking to hear.

’Hahaha... Dead. They’re all dead!’ Erlichandi suddenly let out a burst of maniacal laughter, the sound brimming with endless pain and madness.

He staggered to his feet, his body swaying unsteadily as if he might collapse at any moment.

His eyes turned bloodshot. The once-clear pupils were now shrouded in darkness, and the aura around him grew abnormally dark and sinister.

His heart filled with hatred and killing intent. He muttered to himself, ’If they’re dead... Four Great Families! You will die too! All of you will die!’

At this moment, Erlichandi was completely controlled by his Heart Demon, having lost himself.

He felt that all his previous efforts in Cultivation had become meaningless, as if it had all been a waste of time.

And now, he suddenly felt himself countless times stronger than before. This surge in power intoxicated him.

Without hesitation, Erlichandi employed dark magic. His body gradually turned transparent and finally vanished from the spot.

His goal was clear: to go to the Four Great Families and slaughter them all!

Tonight, the Four Great Families of the Central Capital were destined to face a terrifying nightmare.

Iron Time Dimension Xia Liu: What a pity. He just broke through, his Realm isn’t stable yet. Coupled with this massive blow, he actively chose Qi Deviation himself!

Gold Time Dimension Ding Xiaoyu: This is a lot like me. If the people I care about were gone, I’d be just like him!

Gold Time Dimension Hao Jiaqi: That will never happen, Xiaoyu!

Gold Time Dimension Wang Dadong: Come on, Xiaoyu, this is your past life. That’s still you!

Gold Time Dimension Wang Yase: Right, even though it’s a past life, that’s still you!

Silver Time Dimension Guan Yu: I think, faced with such a sudden change, it would be hard for anyone not to go mad.

Copper Time Dimension Xiong Ya: So, this is why he turned dark?

Silver Time Dimension Zhang Fei: Is that even a question? Obviously, yes! And he’s already entered Qi Deviation!

Silver Time Dimension Xiao Qiao: I don’t dare watch what comes next. Slaughtering the Four Great Families! I think some of them might be innocent, right?

Gold Time Dimension Wang Dadong: Don’t talk about innocence with someone who’s lost their reason and entered Qi Deviation. When his only few loved ones are gone, and because of himself at that, going mad is normal!

Iron Time Dimension Jiu Lai: Sigh, what a waste. Such great talent!
