The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

The pure white flames on Wu You's body grew even more intense, distorting the air around him and causing the refraction of light to become irregular.

Even the low murmurs seeping in from all directions were blocked by the barrier formed by the flames, shattering just half a step away from his body as if they had hit an invisible wall.

Burning to 10%, 30%, 50%...

As his lifespan burned away, Wu You's recently healed wounds reopened, and blood seeped through the fabric of his black trench coat. The blood was dried by the heat of the pure white flames, turning into dark brown scabs, which were then soaked through again by the next surge of blood.

A throbbing pain came from all parts of his body at the same time, as his muscles and bones were being filled with a force far exceeding their current limits.

After burning through 80% of his lifespan, Wu You once again reached the fourteenth level!

But he didn't stop! He began to accelerate the absorption of divinity, continuing to burn as he absorbed!

The divine essence was being consumed rapidly—one wisp, five wisps, eight wisps…

However, Wu You's strength, which had just reached the fourteenth level, also began to rise rapidly!

The semi-transparent, lustful projection of a face without clearly defined features turned slightly toward him. The emptiness hidden within the pale black contours of those eyes suddenly contracted, as if sensing some unexpected variable.

The next moment, His overly long arm slightly rose, and He extended a finger toward Wu You.

Wu You had already caught His movement in that instant.

He suddenly raised the Pivot Sword in his hand to parry, the blade blocking his chest, the silver and pure white light on the spine of the sword intertwined to form a protective layer.

But when that finger fell, there was no shockwave, no energy beam, and no physical signal whatsoever.

There was nothing there. The air didn't vibrate, the ground didn't tremble, and even the floating dust wasn't disturbed at all!

But Wu You didn't think that the projection of lust was just a trick to bluff him!

He must have done something!

The next instant, Wu You's vision went completely black.

Within the lake of the mind, those distracting thoughts that were previously suppressed by the Clear Sword Heart suddenly surged forth! They almost overwhelmed the entire lake of the mind with overwhelming force!

Meanwhile, the sword light of the Clear Sword Heart also surged dramatically, and those clear blades of light rose and fell rapidly above the lake of the heart, each fall severing a large area of ​​surging evil thoughts.

But it was no use; the speed at which distracting thoughts surged far exceeded the speed at which the sword light of the Clear Sword Heart fell!

"Burning away lifespan, rapidly increasing strength—such pleasure is too rare to come by. Why not succumb to it and hold onto this joy forever!"

"I'm just an nobody, why should I bear all this? It's all other people's fault, so my anger is understandable. Why not vent my hatred to the fullest!"

"Anyway, trouble was bound to come sooner or later, so it's better to worry now than to be caught off guard! No, that's not right, trouble has already struck! I'm about to die!"

"It's all my fault for not being careful enough! If I had made a different choice, would the outcome have been different?"

"Bitterness, bitterness, bitterness!!! Fate is inherently tragic; only by wallowing in sorrow can one be worthy of being covered in wounds!"

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!!! The road ahead is fraught with danger. Don't try to move forward; only by safely avoiding obstacles can you avoid injury!"

"The change came so suddenly, my mind was already in turmoil, why bother trying to remain calm and composed!"

Joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, fear, and shock! Seven emotions exploded in turn within a few breaths, each with its own unique frequency and timbre, like seven different melodies playing simultaneously in a room. The resulting chaos was enough to tear any consciousness that tried to remain clear-headed to shreds!

In that instant, Wu You's brain was so crowded with those distracting thoughts that there was almost no extra space to accommodate any coherent thinking. His vision was open, but he couldn't see anything clearly!

"The attack comes from the mind... Is this the true power of the God of Lust?" This brief thought only had time to surface in his mind before it was overwhelmed by the next wave of distracting thoughts!

Not only that.

Just as Wu You's mind was completely occupied by distracting thoughts, the semi-transparent figure raised its right hand again.

He raised his palm and waved it gently, as if scattering a handful of seeds in the air.

next moment.

Countless illusory figures appeared in mid-air, each wearing the same black trench coat, with the same long white hair, and their facial features were exactly the same as Wu You's!

Hundreds and thousands of identical figures, like a rain falling backwards, simultaneously charged towards Wu You's position from all angles below the vortex!

Wu You naturally saw this scene! Although his vision was clouded by distracting thoughts, he still managed to sense the illusory figures surging toward him.

He tried to control his body, to dodge or parry, even if it was just raising the sword in his hand—

But this idea was quickly overwhelmed by another wave of distracting thoughts!

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

"Bitter, bitter, bitter!!!"

"So difficult!!!"

Those voices surged from the depths of his heart, completely overwhelming his will!

He was thus frozen in place, his body like a solidified statue, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the dense, identical phantoms surged towards him one after another.

Then, the moment it touched his body, it turned into blurry wisps of light and shadow, disappearing into his skin, his flesh, and his heart!

And those phantoms immediately took on their own shapes after entering the heart lake.

One by one, faces that looked exactly like Wu You, but with distorted features, floated up from the surface of the lake of the heart: some had their mouths stretched to their ears, some had black liquid flowing from their eyes, and some were laughing and crying at the same time.

They formed a circle, each face with its mouth open, shouting the same sentence, but each sentence was uttered in a completely different tone:

"Hehehe! I am Wu You!!!"

"So tragic! So tragic! I am Wu You!!!"

"Hahaha! I am Wu You!!!"

"Waaaaah! I am Wu You!!!"

Those phantoms that invaded Wu You's heart lake actually formed twisted personalities within Wu You's body!

Wu You could feel that those personalities were constantly eroding his psychological defenses and then wresting control of his body from him!

If one of the twisted personalities were to succeed, then he probably wouldn't be himself anymore!

He realized the seriousness of the problem, but his thought process was completely blocked by distractions.

At this moment, Wu Youming clearly knew what he should do—to stabilize his mind, to mobilize his Clear Sword Heart to focus on killing those distorted personalities, and to find a way to sever the influence of this projection of lust.

But every attempt at a new layer of thought was quickly overwhelmed by a new wave of distracting ideas just as it was taking shape!

This projection of lust exploited Wu You's weakness at that moment!

Although the effects of [Lihentian] are very powerful, capable of burning life force to sublimate and elevate Wu You's physical strength by several levels, this enhancement is mainly concentrated on power output and energy level, with very limited improvement on Wu You's physical body and mental state!

This is the fundamental reason why Wu You experienced a throbbing pain in his body after advancing to the fourteenth level!

In other words, although Wu You's rank has reached the fourteenth level, his mental state is still around the eleventh level!

And coincidentally, the God of Lust is most adept at corrupting the mind!

Wu You's energy leap from the eleventh to the fourteenth level had a significant loophole in front of Him! That's why He was in such an extremely dangerous situation!
