Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 232: Refining Qi and Transforming into God
The dazzling light and heat caused the ice field to disintegrate and evaporate in an instant. This huge light could be seen from an unknown distance.

This world is a helium-shining sun on the ground. If Chen Ning'an had not intended to stay, the present world's Mu City would have been destroyed.

No technological means known in the entire world are as terrifying as this one.

The light continued and seemed unwilling to dissipate. This was an explosion caused by draining the energy of the entire Mu City.

On the ice field, countless lamp realms perished.

Far, far away, people or "people" from other cities looked up and saw that the world of Dengjing, which was always dark, seemed to have "dawn".

"Hey, is there light in this hopeless place?"

Some people seem to be mocking: "The sun is dead, where does the light come from?"

No one could get close to here, and the sun on the earth lasted for at least three days.

The time in the Lantern Realm is not very good, so Chen Ningan did not bring the pocket watch.

Pocket watch... Who gave it to me? I can't quite remember, but it's not important.

"hey-hey……

With a low laugh, the huge, pitch-black soul, hanging on its flesh body, stood where the light disappeared.

There is no water.

This seemingly boundless body of water completely disappeared, leaving only deep ravines and desolation.

The original factory area is now completely shattered.

It did not disappear, but it was no longer complete. The wall was completely melted away, leaving nothing behind.

The power of the talisman is so terrifying that everything left here is nightmare-level stuff.

The fake human door was completely charred and could no longer be opened or closed.

There was nothing complete in the factory area, just some fragmented, unclear lumps of flesh.

Maybe it’s not a mass of flesh, but other substances. However, in the eyes of the primordial spirit, these fragments and debris are real masses of flesh.

"I'm hungry."

The dark soul lowered its hands, greedily picked up the meat balls, and then savagely fed them to the broken, scattered pieces of flesh hanging on its body.

Li Ping stood in the pit, watching this scene which could be regarded as a turning point.

"Nightmare."

He sighed. He saw many familiar faces, including many whom he had seen or heard about in the newspapers.

Now, they are all approaching Chen Ningan's body. Even if the power of the nightmare is already incomplete, it is still a nightmare.

It is far from being comparable to the out-of-control level.

"Cough... cough...

Li Ping suddenly started coughing. He felt like there was something in his throat, which was itchy and uncontrollable. He couldn't hold it in no matter what.

His cough became more and more violent, and the nightmare power in his body fluctuated violently.

"Chen Ning'an!"

He retched heavily and spoke with difficulty.

"Do you really want to kill everyone around you?"

He didn't need to see where the attack came from or what method it took, because there were only him and Chen Ning'an here.

Pain sprouted branches from His throat, and black plants as thick as needles grew. Li Ping's eyes widened. The nightmare power here was too complicated.

"Chen Ning'an! Being alone, he will only repeat that person's old path!"

He sternly warned everyone, trying to get this mad monster to stop.

but……

no effect.

Li Ping raised her neck, her throat became larger, and her feet slowly left the ground.

The thing in his throat completely grew through and became a pitch-black "human tree" transformed by a cough.

He died and slowly disappeared from here, returning to the past.

People who do not belong to the future will naturally return to the past after death, just like Lu Yu in the past.

If it wasn't necessary, the two would never see each other again.

It was quiet here, with only the sound of chewing.

Soon after, the chewing sounds stopped and the light environment became deathly quiet, as if the wind had also died.

The city of Mu also became deathly quiet, with no living creatures.

Only... there is still one person alive.

"Where have everyone gone?"

Chun Yufeng went downstairs carrying a basket of vegetables. The food at home had run out and her employer didn't ask her to do anything, so she went out to buy some.

Before that, she had been watching TV series for two or three days.

But...what about people?
There was no one on the streets, the shopping malls were empty, the schools were empty, only clothes were scattered on the ground, as if they were still being worn by people a second ago.

"Oh my god, is it forbidden to go out today? Didn't I receive the news?"

Chun Yufeng looked around and took out her cell phone to check, but it showed that there was no network, which scared her.

"Oh no, I'm out of money. I don't have internet, where can I go to top up my phone bill?"

The entire empty city was filled with only her footsteps, from morning till night...

The portraits of door gods opened their eyes and then quickly closed them, as if they were afraid of something or terrified of something.

Night is coming.

Faintly, the starlight is exceptionally bright yet exceptionally dim.

Something was moving in the city, but at dawn the next day, everything disappeared.

The next day, the same thing happened.

Chun Yufeng felt like she was going crazy. Were all the people dead? Or was she dead, so there was no living person to be seen here?
At night, the dark thing streaked across some buildings, wandering around unconsciously.

Day 3… Day 4…

Finally, on the seventh night, Chun Yufeng hummed a ballad to himself and curled up in a ball on the rooftop.

After the initial novelty, what was left was endless loneliness. She thought, it would be great if she could pass the driving test so that she could leave Mucheng and visit other cities.

There is no one here, just like the aliens in a science fiction movie.

The ballads are melodious and wandering in the city.

She didn't realize that there was a dark shadow behind her, larger than the tall buildings and deeper than the cloudy night.

The ballad is actually very ordinary, just a song that a mother hums to her child to lull her into sleep.

The rhythmic notes danced slowly, and Chun Yufeng himself didn't know why, but he subconsciously hummed the song over and over again.

She was a little confused. She was not usually so patient. She just felt that she would be uncomfortable if she didn't do this.

Not far away, a pair of eyes in a portrait were looking at this side, and Liao Yun was worried about Chun Yufeng.

Mr. Chen Ning'an was right behind her, but his condition was very abnormal at the moment and she didn't even notice it.

However, her body was very sensitive and she had already noticed the danger and hummed a ballad.

Chun Yufeng was lucky. When Chen Ning'an drained the Qi from everyone in Mu City, she had not yet been transformed into a paper man because she came from another city.

She dodged a bullet.

But after escaping this disaster, I don’t know whether it is good or bad.

The song was sung from night till dawn. Liao Yun thought that she must have discovered it and dared not move at all.

The sound also changed from being natural at the beginning to being stiff, and the black shadow did not move, as if enjoying it.

He didn't care about this little episode.

Finally, when the first rays of morning light fell, the dark shadow changed.

The confusion was cleared up with the surge of yang energy, and a whisper that seemed to come from the abyss of hell was heard.

"But mom, why should I endure all this?" The black shadow raised its head on the left side, looking desperate and confused, painful and miserable.

The head on the right side of the huge soul screamed: "Weaklings! Die! All must die!"

The two heads each expressed their own opinions, but the head in the middle kept drooping, as if it was asleep.

He fell asleep in the song, which made it impossible for the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit to move and take over by force.

This is a kind of balance. If there is only the Yin God or the Yang God alone, he will not stop at this time.

There was even a slight snoring sound from the soul, indicating its owner's fatigue.

Chun Yufeng slowly closed her eyes. She was very sleepy and couldn't hold on any longer.

The sound of the song began to become faint, intermittent, and then stopped.

The snoring of the head in the middle stopped. Liao Yun didn't dare to make any sound, and even didn't dare to float with the wind.

The pitch-black soul began to move. It stood up, taller than the building, and the head in the middle opened a pair of white eyes.

Less than three years later, He still could not see.

"Just get some sleep and you'll be fine."

He was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the Yang God, or as if he was warning the Yin God, and rationality returned to his face.

Just as he said, a good night's sleep would be enough, and he seemed to have slept for several days.

"Mr. Chen Ning'an!"

Liao Yun walked out of the portrait, and he found that the gentleman seemed to be awake.

"Ah."

The middle head nodded and the body began to collapse.

No, it’s not collapsing, but returning to the body.

The soul is the soul after all, and the body is what carries everything.

There was no apparent difference between his body and before, but one had to know that the body before was not able to support the soul. The broken things in the factory made the body even stronger.

"Sir, how do you feel now?"

Liao Yun asked him: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Are you already..."

Nightmare? Sir, is this already a nightmare?

Yes, Mr. Chen Ning'an must be having a nightmare now. The terrible scene before almost made him think that it was the end of the world.

"Hard to say."

Chen Ning'an's eyes were deep. There was indeed more than one figure in the chess and card room in the factory. If there was the power of the mountains, there must be other powers as well.

He was not wrong, his body had made a qualitative leap this time.

But that was not the benefit to Him.

The physical body has definitely reached nightmare level, but what is more important is the soul.

The body can carry the soul, and the soul must also dominate the body. Now his soul is very terrifying and has undergone unimaginable qualitative changes.

"I have already gone through the process of refining essence into qi, and I have also succeeded in refining qi into spirit."

He stared at the palm of his hand. Mucheng was indeed a Feng Shui treasure land for cultivating the Yuanshen. Unfortunately, this treasure land could only be used once.

Next, He will begin to refine His spirit and return to emptiness.

But refining the spirit and returning to the void is too far away, and he has no idea at all now.

"Liao Yun, go get ready, we are leaving."

Chen Ning'an put his hand down and told Him, "Bring Chun Yufeng with you."

"Where are we going, sir?"

Liao Yun asked, "He was afraid of the unconscious Chen Ning'an, but he was also extremely submissive to the rational Chen Ning'an."

"Imperial capital, Prince Chun's palace."

Five words, this was His answer.

There is too much movement in the lighting environment of Mu City. Something will arrive soon, and perhaps it will be as powerful as the person behind the scenes with S value.

He didn't want to take any risks as his condition was still unstable and he couldn't see.

Moreover, Yang Shen’s ability has not been revealed yet. He has a hunch that Yang Shen’s ability may be related to his eyes.

I can't see it, so I can't express it.

A motorhome left Mu City soon after. This disaster did not turn the world into ruins.

Chen Ningan looked out the window quietly. He could hear the sound of the wind and his thoughts were gradually drifting away.

Since he started to use the lantern, the entire family of Wang Youcai, the only people who had been kind to him, have basically all died.

Wang Youcai is no longer himself now. I hope he is still alive and did not die in the explosion.

The family's house was empty; perhaps they had left Mucheng.

Afterwards, almost all the people who had helped him along the way died, and even among the people he knew, only Liao Yun and Chun Yufeng, whom he was not familiar with, were left.

"Sir, the courtyard is in the lantern realm of Chili."

Liao Yun reminded her at the right time that Su Mei was the only one still surviving in the courtyard.

"I know He can recover on His own."

Chen Ning'an replied, feeling deeply that spiritual practice was ruthless.

It is true that things and people have changed dramatically. If you want to achieve something, you must endure loneliness. This is an indispensable brick on the road to becoming an immortal.

only……

Why is He sad?

"After having nightmares, my own emotions seem to fluctuate more rapidly."

Chen Ning'an was talking to himself, and the weird scene made Liao Yun dare not speak anymore, so he just drove at ease.

It would take at least several days to get from Mucheng to the imperial capital even on the highway. They had to go to Nancheng and then take a plane.

It takes about a day to get from here to South City.

"Why am I here?"

Suddenly Chun Yufeng woke up in the RV. He first felt the vibration of the vehicle and then saw Chen Ningan.

"Sir, you're back!"

She was surprised and happy. She woke up inexplicably and could see living people again. It felt so good!

Especially since this person is a living person or an acquaintance!
"Well, I'm back."

Chen Ning'an tried to soften his expression, then forced a smile and said:
"Chat with me."

He rarely acted pretentiously.

Chen Ning'an now has a general idea of ​​Mr. Liao's way of thinking. It seems very interesting to "be" a person.

He had to remember what it felt like as a human. This body seemed a little abnormal.

He could feel his body starting to come alive as they chatted.

But the mind still remains in a state of indifference.

"Sir, it's so nice of you to chat. I've been feeling so suffocated these past few days!"

Chun Yufeng couldn't wait and sat down immediately.

Once she opened her mouth, she couldn't stop talking, and she spoke very quickly:
"Everyone in Mucheng has disappeared. I have no signal on my phone and I can't drive. I wish I had learned how to drive...

"It's so hard to get a driver's license. I probably won't be able to learn it, but that's not important. You don't know how scared I was. I thought it was an alien...

"Okay, shut up."

Chen Ning'an gave up. His soul only felt that Chun Yufeng was noisy, but his body seemed to exude a lively atmosphere?

Is listening to nonsense good for your health?
He thought for a moment, having just asked Chun Yufeng to stop, and then said, "You should continue talking."

Chun Yufeng was puzzled, but when he thought about the salary...

Not to mention continuing the conversation when she is called, she can even kneel down and sing!
