Chapter 391: Chapter 390- Rotten Lotus in your flesh (3) A luxurious robe woven from purple and black flames covered his entire body, causing him to appear both mysterious and majestic. His eyes turned bright and deep, shining with a faint purple glow that seemed capable of seeing through all things.
Meanwhile, the flaming bird transformed into an illusory crown made of dancing purple flames that rested proudly upon his head.
The pressure it emitted caused the surrounding air to become heavy.
Without any hesitation, the bird suddenly folded its wings and flew directly toward Grey.
The two figures overlapped.
A dazzling purple radiance erupted.
Several seconds later, Grey’s appearance underwent a complete transformation.
A luxurious robe woven from purple and black flames covered his entire body, causing him to appear both mysterious and majestic. His eyes turned bright and deep, shining with a faint purple glow that seemed capable of seeing through all things.
Meanwhile, the flaming bird transformed into an illusory crown made of dancing purple flames that rested proudly upon his head.
At this moment, Grey no longer looked like an ordinary cultivator.
Instead, he resembled the noble young heir of an ancient emperor, a supreme existence that had descended from the heavens to the mortal world.
Although Grey looked like a noble young master descending from the heavens, the mutation occurring within his body did not cease. The augmentation from the Soul Devouring Everlasting Bird and the suppressive intent emanating from the purple crystal continuously clashed against the sinister curse.
Under the influence of these two terrifying powers, many of the miniature skeleton heads embedded within the rotten lotus slowly closed their eyes and mouths. The malicious expressions on their faces gradually disappeared and were replaced by solemnity and fear.
The rotten lotus itself slowly began to close, its petals folding inward as though it had encountered a natural enemy.
However, the mutation had not been completely halted. It still continued to spread, albeit at a much slower pace than before.
Grey looked at the strange changes occurring beneath his skin, and his expression became even colder.
Dark veins crawled across his arm before vanishing beneath his sleeve, while a faint itching sensation spread through his entire body. Yet, his gaze remained calm and unwavering.
He did not stop his actions.
He knew that if this battle dragged on any longer, the disadvantageous situation he was in would only worsen. The curse was still active, and Kaien’s cultivation far exceeded his own. The longer he waited, the slimmer his chances of victory would become.
Therefore, the moment he activated the Soul Devouring Everlasting Bird, Grey immediately called upon the purple phantom and unleashed the Mosasaur.
The appearance of the Mosasaur resembled the birth of an ancient embryonic creature.
At first, it was only a vague outline made of spirit essence. Then, flesh-like scales and massive bones gradually formed, and a pair of enormous eyes slowly opened.
Its eyes shone with determination and an untamed ferocity.
The moment it fully appeared, a deafening cry erupted from its mouth.
The sound was like the roar of an ancient beast awakening after countless years of slumber, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently.
Its enormous body rapidly expanded until it reached several dozen meters in length. Countless streams of spirit essence flowed around its body like rivers, making it appear both majestic and terrifying.
Grey’s figure slowly rose into the air.
He did not move quickly, yet each step he took possessed an indescribable elegance, as though he were crossing the entire sky and treading upon the heavens themselves.
Every step caused ripples to spread through the air.
Finally, his foot landed upon the head of the Mosasaur.
The giant sea creature trembled slightly.
A hint of reverence appeared within its enormous eyes as it lowered its head ever so slightly, almost as though it were paying homage to its king.
Grey remained silent.
His white robes fluttered in the wind while his black hair danced behind him.
The Soul Devouring Everlasting Bird hovered above him like an ancient divine creature, while the purple phantom stood behind him like an emperor overlooking the world.
His aura reached an unprecedented height.
Without saying a single word, Grey slowly raised his hand and pointed toward Kaien, who stood a considerable distance away.
His expression remained cold and completely devoid of emotion.
At that moment, he looked less like a human cultivator and more like a supreme being passing judgment upon a sinner.
Seeing this, Kaien could not help but feel a sense of unease.
Especially after witnessing the appearance of the Soul Devouring Everlasting Bird.
A strange sense of familiarity suddenly emerged in his heart.
It felt as though he had seen such a creature somewhere before.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not remember where.
Even so, the instinctive fear born from that vague familiarity made his heart tremble.
He immediately realized that dealing with Grey would not be as easy as he had initially imagined.
Even after Grey had been affected by his sect’s secret art, Kaien still felt that something was terribly wrong.
The young man before him was simply too calm.
Far too calm.
A dangerous feeling suddenly erupted within his heart.
