"People see me as an embodiment of disaster and curse."
The monster's voice did not come from its mouth, but rather resonated directly within everyone's minds.
It sounded profound, carrying a certain unknown magic.
"Wherever I go, disaster follows."
"But I... I was born this way..."
"I keep moving, trying to avoid causing greater harm to other beings."
"Yet, in the end, I continue to create disaster and destruction."
"I am tired..."
As it spoke, the red glow in the monster's eyes flickered a few times.
"What is the meaning of my existence?" The monster's eyes were fixed on Ye Fan. "Can you... give me an answer?"
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
This boss was rather interesting.
Instead of fighting immediately, it was discussing philosophy with him?
Had it lived too long and its brain cells had atrophied?
Oh, wait.
Whether this thing even possessed a brain was debatable...
"If not, then leave. I have no intention of becoming your enemy, nor do I wish for you to perish here due to your own foolishness and ignorance."
After speaking, the boss lowered its head and lay quietly.
Ye Fan felt a surge of annoyance!
Damn it!
These demonic beasts and the like always indulged in this superiority complex.
They always looked down on humans.
He had finally arrived here, only to be told to leave after a few words?
If it were just that, he could tolerate it.
After all, he wasn't interested in its troubles.
But if it continued like this, the entire continent would be doomed!
Even though he was now immortal.
What would be the point if he were the only one left on the continent?
"Then I apologize!"
Ye Fan leaped forward, his right fist smashing fiercely towards the boss!
A mysterious and complex talisman immediately lit up on his fist!
The response Ye Fan received was a stream of purple-black mist shooting out from the boss's body!
The mist transformed into sharp blades, cutting towards Ye Fan!
The mist blades were incredibly fast!
So fast that Ye Fan had no time to react!
But something was faster.
The talisman on Ye Fan's fist instantly enlarged, forming a wall in front of him!
The mist blades were instantly swallowed by the talisman, not even causing a ripple.
The boss, as if seeing something terrifying, sprang up from its throne!
"It's that power!" The monster's voice was filled with terror. "No, this is impossible!"
The giant talisman flashed, actively absorbing the mist from the boss's body!
The boss attempted to struggle, but it seemed to have no effect.
It could only watch as its body was gradually consumed by the talisman.
"Everything... has come to this..."
The boss seemed to accept its fate, its voice calming.
"You have won the present, but you have lost the future." The boss gave Ye Fan a meaningful look. "The wheels of destiny have begun to turn, and no one can stop them now... all will be ruined by your own hand!"
Ye Fan desperately wanted to ask, what the hell did you mean by that?
Unfortunately, the talisman was absorbing too quickly!
By the time the boss spoke, only its head was left.
Suddenly!
The red glow in the boss's eyes trembled violently!
"If all this was predetermined, then what was the meaning of my birth!"
With a final roar of unwillingness, the boss completely vanished!
The giant talisman returned to its normal size and re-entered Ye Fan's body.
Ye Fan's mouth twitched violently.
What was with all of them?
Constantly burrowing into his body, did they think his body was a junkyard!
And you, boss, couldn't you just die properly?
Did you have to be a riddle-speaker before dying, just to annoy people!
Damn it!
Ye Fan frowned.
When this boss existed, the concept of the immortal realm and cultivators hadn't even appeared on this continent.
Such an ancient existence would not speak carelessly.
He would eventually ruin everything himself?
Why did it sound like he was the big villain?
Judging by the boss's words, it seemed to have some understanding of these ancient and mysterious talismans...
Too bad it died too quickly...
Now, no one could give him the answers.
Perhaps when he fully understood the true nature of that stone, the truth would be revealed...
To be singled out by such an ancient being...
It seemed he had underestimated this stone before...
Ye Fan looked inward.
As expected.
The purple-black mist that constituted the boss's body was rapidly surging towards the stone above his spiritual sea.
Judging by the speed, it was quickly "eaten" by the stone.
Suddenly!
Ye Fan's mind buzzed!
The grand hall and Old Ancestor Yad and the others instantly disappeared!
At this moment, Ye Fan found himself in a state of chaos.
There was nothing here but the purple-black mist!
The mist swirled and contracted rapidly.
After an unknown period, the mist coalesced into the shape of the previous boss.
And at this moment, Ye Fan finally saw the appearance of this world.
All plants and trees were withered!
The ground was covered with the corpses of monsters and humans!
Each like a dried husk, their deaths tragic!
The entire world was shrouded in grayness and decay, with no trace of life!
"Rumble—!"
With a rumbling sound, deep fissures split open in the earth!
Innumerable earth fires gushed out from the fissures, spreading everywhere!
The raging inferno quickly consumed everything!
The entire world completely collapsed and turned into nothingness!
The boss stood in the void, silently watching all this.
At this moment, Ye Fan seemed to hear the boss's thoughts.
"It's like this again..."
"My existence is the greatest disaster..."
"All things will be destroyed by me..."
Mist began to gather beneath the boss's feet, carrying it as it wandered through the void.
Ye Fan hurried to follow.
But the boss seemed not to see him, allowing Ye Fan to follow by its side.
After an unknown period, the boss arrived at a new world.
It hid itself deep in the desolate mountains, beneath the earth.
Days passed, and the purple-black mist from the boss inevitably spread outwards.
Everything in its path was inevitably infected and perished.
The entire world, inevitably, moved towards destruction...
...
Mist from all over the world began to shrink, reforming into the boss's shape.
This time, it did not move forward, but silently watched it all.
"My existence only brings disaster."
"I don't want to continue..."
"If possible, let me slumber here forever..."
The boss floated silently in the void, seemingly intending to stay.
Suddenly!
Two cracks appeared in the void!
They were a pair of immensely huge eyes!
An ancient and low murmur echoed in the boss's mind.
"You are born for destruction."
"Your existence is the purest evil!"
"Until... the end of all things!"
A thunderclap sounded in Ye Fan's mind!
Cracks appeared on the seal of his spiritual sea!
Countless fragmented memories surged out from the cracks!
They were of worlds being destroyed.
A dark figure floated in mid-air, silently watching it all unfold.
When the world completely vanished, a surge of mysterious power flowed into the dark figure.
...
When he came to his senses, Ye Fan found himself and the boss in a brand new world.
But soon, this world, inevitably, began to perish...
Throughout the long years, the boss destroyed world after world.
And finally...
It arrived at the continent where Ye Fan was!
