The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

“Is it strange? I am you, the you of the past, the unchanging you, the eternal you.” General Thunder stared directly at Ember, and whether it was an illusion or not, the expression on her face seemed to have become more vivid.

"You idiot, come back!" When Ember saw that the person who had been pumped up with adrenaline had suddenly become two, he called back the avatar of the Lord of Cinder who was running wildly all over the secret realm.

From the very beginning, Shadow and General Raiden's gazes were fixed on Ember. As for why? Just look at the Lord of Cinder running wildly in the distance, and you'll know.

"Aba?" The Lord of Cinder stood in front of Ember, tilting his head and looking at Ember with a puzzled expression.

Ignoring the confusion surrounding the Lord of Cinder's incarnation, Ember turned to look at the eager Shadow and General Thunder.

“Learning from battle is a very good talent,” Ember first affirmed the talents of Shadow and General Thunder.

Then he abruptly changed the subject, an inexplicable shadow looming over his low-set helmet.

"So what follows is no longer a battle, but a one-sided crushing defeat!"

"The remaining three, go! Oh, and remember to leave one alive!"

With a wave of his hand, Yu Jin instantly made Ying's dream no longer belong to her.

Chapter 531 The Unbridled Horse

"Awooo—, charge! Charge! Charge!"

"I'm going to go crazy!"

"I want to plant flowers on you!"

……

A chilling aura emanated from the embers, and the hazy purple hue in the dreamscape instantly began to tremble.

"What is that?!" Ying looked around in surprise and doubt as various overlapping voices rang in her ears.

She felt a tightness in her chest and difficulty breathing after just a brief listening to these sounds.

"Hoo..." Ying took a few deep breaths, shook her head to calm herself down, and banished all the distracting thoughts around her.

The restless heart in his chest gradually calmed down, and this dreamlike secret realm also stabilized.

When he opened his eyes again, the sounds of madness and chaos could no longer affect him.

"Crack—bang!"

The Thunder General beside Shadow was much more brutal, unleashing a dancing bolt of lightning from her palm.

After the lightning passed through his brain, General Lightning's auditory system was rendered useless.

"Hmm? You've got some skill." The overlapping voices echoed again, but this time neither Shadow nor General Raiden were affected.

"Gululu~"

The sound of churning mud emanated from within Ember's body. Then, countless clumps of dark sludge seeped out from the gaps in his armor, gradually enveloping Ember's body.

The sludge gathered on the surface of the embers' body, gradually swelling and taking on its own shape.

It had a snake-like body, formed from pitch-black silt.

The jet-black giant serpent writhed wildly on the embers, as if celebrating its birth.

But soon, it lost its excitement.

"Get down here quickly, or people will think I've been infected with human pus!" Ember's voice came from the mud, causing the giant snake on his body to freeze.

"Oh!" The countless murmurs that had been forming from the serpent's mouth instantly merged into one, becoming clear.

After giving Yu Jin a brief reply, You Sui collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

"You two come out too! Don't say I didn't give you time to get some fresh air later." Seeing You Sui lying on the ground, Yu Jin lowered his head and spoke to the thing inside his body.

"call--"

Another flame ignited on the surface of the embers, but this time the flame was an abnormal yellow. Moreover, this flame did not make the usual crackling sound of burning flames.

The madness does not burn tangible things; its fuel is the pain and despair in people's hearts.

Yellow flames climbed upwards, gathering on the back of the embers' head before spreading outwards.

From a distance, it looks as if Ember has a yellow halo above his head. If he were standing on a white cloud, he would look exactly like a deity from the legends of Liyue.

"Why are there so many problems after just coming out for a bit? Have you gone crazy from being locked up for too long?" Yu Jin pulled with his hands behind his back, then used his arm strength to rip the halo on the back of his head away.

"call!"

The yellow firelight shone on the black mud, but it did nothing. The darkness of the ground seemed to swallow up all the light.

"And..." Before Yu Jin could finish speaking, countless red and white fungal spots began to appear on his body. When the fungal spots peeled off, they revealed a red and white fleshy ball.

"Very good, now all three are gathered." Yu Jin nodded in satisfaction. As expected of the one who got beaten the most, he was indeed obedient!

He glanced at the yellow fireball and the mud beside him, thinking about how to train these two in the future.

"Which one of these... is you?" Shadow looked at Ember opposite him. Before he knew it, this guy had performed a magic trick on him... a magic trick on him.

The three indescribable objects on the ground emitted an eerie aura. Ying glanced at them briefly before closing her eyes.

In just a short while, she felt her eyes starting to ache. If it had continued any longer, who knows what the consequences would have been?

"All of you, charge! Beat those two on the other side half to death first!"

"Abba!"

As soon as Ember finished speaking, the Lord of Cinder, who had been itching to act, shot out from his body.

A chilling aura emanated from his senses, and Ying, without thinking twice, immediately opened his tightly closed eyes again.

She instinctively channeled her inner power, wanting to instantly dodge. Her previous experience of flying told her that this guy, whose body was engulfed in flames, was incredibly strong, and it was best not to take his attacks head-on.

"call--"

Just as Ying was about to leap away, the purple in the secret realm suddenly vanished. The unchanging, brilliant purple was replaced by rolling, spinning, leaping yellow.

In the realm of Ying's heart, a huge, blazing sun had appeared at some unknown time.

The sun emitted yellow light, but its core was completely black.

The swirling yellow flames resembled twisted tentacles, coiling around the dark sphere in the sky and spewing out large swaths of frenzied flames.

"呲-"

Wisps of purple smoke emanated from Ying's body. The physical pain was not so terrible as to cause Ying real suffering. What truly tormented Ying was her heart, which seemed not to belong to her.

Shadow's body originally had no heart, but now the loud beating of a heart was echoing in her ears.

Moreover, what bulged from that illusory heart was not blood, but endless despair and violence.

This heart, which doesn't belong to Shadow, is ripping out her reason and replacing it with a frenzy that permeates her entire body.

“Hmm…” Ying’s gaze was unfocused, her brows twitching as she struggled against something invading her heart.

But the Lord of Cinder, in his avatar, gave her no chance. His fiery red figure appeared on the crouching shadow and slashed down mercilessly.

"Boom!" Flames erupted, and Ying's usually sharp instincts completely failed her. She stood there blankly, letting herself be thrown into the flames.

“There’s one more.” Yu Jin sat cross-legged on the ground, bent over, covered his forehead, and pointed at General Lei Dian.

The headache buff from the Madfire had such a large range that even Ember couldn't escape it, and he was now suffering from a terrible headache.

Unlike the disheveled appearance of the shadow, the blazing fire in the sky only caused general Thunder to suffer burns from the intense heat.

Purple light enveloped General Raiden's body, and the broken parts of the body of the God of Calamity, Takenari, were gradually repaired by the elemental power that materialized.

Looking up at the dark sun in the sky, General Thunder stretched out his hand and looked at it in confusion.

A strange, vague feeling seemed to arise in her heart. General Thunder didn't know how to describe it or what it was.

General Thunder knew only that these things were affecting her judgment. Yet she allowed them to ferment within her body.

Because this will help her better understand the difference between dolls and people.

"Empty? A doll?" An unfamiliar voice emerged from the Thunder General's body, startling her.

The sound was like the rubbing of countless insect antennae, as if the insects had discovered the frequency of human voices as their limbs touched, and thus began to communicate with humans.

"Who are you?" General Thunder looked around warily, but apart from Shadow being beaten up by the Lord of Cinder, Ember sitting cross-legged opposite him, and Mud beside him, there was no other figure.

"Are you that lump of meat?"

General Thunder realized that the voice inside his body was most likely the missing lump of flesh.

"Meat..." The worm's voice was silent for a moment, then it spoke again in General Thunder's mind.

"I love meat because the smell and juices of it when it's rotting are so exciting."

"Nonsense!" Without the slightest hesitation, General Thunder swung his sword and cut open her abdomen, intending to pull out the lump of flesh that had entered her body.

"But I prefer growing flowers to letting meat rot."

"So don't touch it. If the flowerpot rots, the flowers won't look good."

After the insect chirps finished speaking, General Thunder found that his body was out of his control.

Chapter 532 Beating Until You Agree

Why don't you go up?

"I have a headache, don't talk to me."

"You get headaches too?"

"Nonsense! I was born too!"

……

After a brief exchange, drops of pink, oily liquid fell from the air onto You Su's body.

"What is this?"

"I bought some of the calming and soothing essential oil from Xumi. I heard from others that the essential oils from there are very effective."

"..."
