All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

"Be careful! Yao Guang may have been completely possessed by her inner demons!"

Shen Jianxin's voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of urgency and solemnity.

Upon hearing Yao Guang's words, he suddenly understood—the Yao Guang before him was no longer the gentle and reliable companion she once was.

The power of anger completely eroded his soul, and the inner demon took advantage of the situation to completely control his physical body.

The last trace of hesitation in Wen Yan's eyes vanished instantly.

He couldn't believe that Yao Guang, who had given him power and protected him and his sister, would turn out like this.

But at this moment, he finally regained consciousness.

The person before me is merely a puppet controlled by inner demons and devoured by the power of anger; he is not Yao Guang at all!

Upon hearing this, Yao Guang suddenly burst into a wild laugh, his laughter filled with disdain and arrogance.

"Inner demons? Hahaha! How laughable!"

The black aura surrounding him grew increasingly dense, and the surge of fel energy swept out like a tsunami. "That weakling has long since gone to the illusion, to be reunited with his family forever!"

"Don't all of you time travelers want to go back to Earth?"

Yao Guang's gaze swept over Shen Jianxin and Wen Yan, a cruel smile curving his lips. "I merely fulfilled his wish. Does such a weakling deserve to be the Lord of the Demon Realm?"

"Only a powerful being like me is worthy to wield the power of the Wrathful Demon and become the true Lord of the Wrathful Demon Realm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Guang unleashed his full power as an eighth-level Transcending Realm cultivator.

The terrifying pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield, and both Wen Yan and Shen Jianxin felt a sense of suffocation.

"So, it really wasn't Yaoguang Ge."

Wen Yan slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, all that remained in her eyes was a cold resolve and boundless hatred.

He murmured softly, a hint of sorrow in his voice, but mostly a sense of relief, "Since that's the case, then I can use my full power without reservation!"

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling black light suddenly erupted from Wen Yan's body.

The power of the seventh-level demonic energy of the Breaking Realm was unleashed without reservation. Black energy swirled around his body, and the longsword in his hand was tainted by evil energy, gleaming with an eerie cold light.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a black afterimage, gripping his longsword, and charged towards Yao Guang.

The sword blade sliced ​​through the air, carrying a sharp killing intent, and pierced straight into Yao Guang's heart—the person he once respected most, but now, he was the enemy he had to kill!

Yao Guang, possessed by her inner demons, looked at Wen Yan rushing towards her with a hint of contempt in her eyes and a sneer curling at the corner of her mouth.

"You?"

He didn't move, but simply raised his hand, and a dense black evil energy roared out, easily blocking Wen Yan's attack.

"bite--!"

The longsword struck the fel energy barrier with a crisp metallic clang. Wen Yan felt a numbness in his arm, the longsword nearly slipped from his hand, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.

"You intend to use the power I taught you to defeat me?"

Yao Guang's voice was cold and piercing, full of mockery, "Or are you planning to defeat me by relying on Shen Jianxin, this trash at the sixth level of the Breaking Realm?"

"That's ridiculous!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Guang moved and instantly appeared in front of Wen Yan.

He raised his hand and struck Wen Yan's chest with a palm strike imbued with terrifying demonic power.

Wen Yan's expression changed drastically. He immediately activated the evil energy within his body and raised his hand to block.

"boom--!"

The two evil energies collided with a deafening roar, and a terrifying shockwave swept outwards, leaving deep cracks in the ground.

Wen Yan felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground.

There is a world of difference between the seventh and eighth levels of the Breakthrough Realm.

Even though Wen Yan tried her best, she was no match for Yao Guang and was severely injured in just one move.

At this moment, Shen Jianxin was caught in an unprecedented internal struggle.

He was constantly eroded by the evil energy emanating from Yao Guang, and his mind was in turmoil.

The second personality that he had been suppressing did not take the opportunity to cause trouble. Instead, it took the initiative to communicate with him, its voice echoing in his mind with a hint of cold questioning.

Why are you so stubborn?

The voice of the second personality was exactly the same as Shen Jianxin's, but it carried a chilling arrogance he had never experienced before: "Do you still want to avenge Lin Nannan? Do you still want to go back to her hometown for her?"

"What are you so afraid of?"

Shen Jianxin's mind jolted, and the image of Lin Nannan instantly appeared in his mind—that innocent and gentle little girl, the tragic scene of her being torn apart by the void storm, like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

"I'm not afraid!"

Shen Jianxin roared inwardly, trying to suppress the voice in his mind, "I will definitely avenge Nannan, I will definitely return to Earth, I will definitely see what her homeland looks like!"

"Aren't you afraid?"

The second personality sneered, her tone full of mockery, "I have no memories since birth. All this time, you thought you'd been suppressing me?"

"I was just looking through our memories!"

"You've always called me your inner demon, but have you ever considered that I am your dark side?"

"It's because you've been desperately suppressing your desires, your anger, and your weaknesses that I came into being!"

Shen Jianxin's body trembled slightly, and the voice in his mind, like a curse, kept eroding his mind.

He had to admit that the second personality was right.

He has never dared to face his dark side, never dared to admit his weakness, and never dared to indulge his anger, which is why inner demons have grown and a second personality has emerged.

Deep down, you're actually hoping for my appearance, hoping for my existence.

The voice of the second personality continued, tinged with seduction, "This way, you can pin all your pain, all your sins, all your failures on me, and you can continue to be that 'righteous' Shen Jianxin, continuing to deceive yourself!"

"Shen Jianxin, you're too weak!"

These words struck Shen Jianxin's heart like a thunderbolt.

He thought of Lin Nannan's death, of his own powerlessness, and of the innocent people harmed by evil forces. The anger and self-blame in his heart were like a volcano, about to erupt.

Meanwhile, the battle between Yao Guang and Wen Yan had entered a fierce stage.

Wen Yan struggled to stand up again and again, rushing towards Yao Guang each time, only to be severely injured each time.

His body was covered in wounds, his robes were stained with blood, and his breath grew weaker and weaker.

But his eyes remained firm, without the slightest hesitation—he wanted to avenge his sister Wen Xuyan, and to avenge all those who had been harmed by Yao Guang!

"Trash is trash!"

Yao Guang looked at the disheveled Wen Yan, her eyes filled with impatience. "Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Guang's evil energy surged again. He raised his hand and condensed a huge black palm print, which, with a world-destroying power, slammed towards Wen Yan.

This palm strike contained all of his power; if it hit, Wen Yan would surely die!

Wen Yan's face turned deathly pale. He no longer had the strength to dodge or parry.

He slowly closed his eyes, his heart filled with resentment—he hadn't avenged his sister yet, how could he die like this?

Shen Jianxin, however, was still deeply embroiled in a mental struggle and was unable to spare any attention to rescue Wen Yan.

The evil energy emanating from Yao Guang was constantly eroding his soul, and the voice of his second personality continued to echo in his mind, making him restless and almost on the verge of collapse.

"Shut up! I will avenge Nannan! I definitely will!"

Shen Jianxin roared furiously in his heart, his eyes bloodshot, his aura extremely chaotic, "I will return to Earth, I will go back for Nannan, I definitely will!"

"How will you get back?"

The voice of the second personality carried a hint of disdain and mockery, "Relying on the sixth-level Transcending Realm cultivation I absorbed for you?"

"Shen Jianxin, you're too naive!"

"With the Devouring Body, my cultivation speed will be very fast. I'll be able to return to Earth on my own very soon, very soon!"

Shen Jianxin's rationality gradually became blurred amidst anger and struggle.

He knew that his second personality was right; the Devourer's potential was limitless. As long as he unleashed his Devouring power, his cultivation would improve rapidly, giving him enough power to take revenge and return to Earth.

But he also knew that if he unleashed his devouring power, he might become the very thing he hated most—a monster who only knew how to kill and devour.

"Shen Jianxin, you're truly beyond saving, pitifully naive!"

The voice of the second personality rang out again, tinged with disappointment, "What right do you have to condemn Jiang Wuchen? Look at yourself now!"

"Are you still the same Shen Jianxin, the demon-possessed individual who once declared war on all the heavens and was fearless?"

"Right now, you're a coward! A coward who's afraid to face yourself, afraid to unleash your power!"

These words completely shattered Shen Jianxin's last psychological defenses.

Shen Jianxin stood amidst a halo of interwoven black and golden light, his aura as deep and still as an abyss, like a volcano about to erupt.

The gentle smile of Lin Nannan before her soul dissipated, and the tragic scene of her being torn apart by the void storm, repeatedly intertwined and collided in his mind.

That image transformed into scorching flames, burning his mind and igniting the anger and resolve within him.

He wants revenge! Revenge for Lin Nannan, and revenge for all those who have been hurt!

He wants to return to Earth! To show Lin Nannan what her hometown looks like, and to pave a way home for all those who have wandered far from home!

Just as Shen Jianxin's mind was about to completely collapse and the battle with his second personality reached its most intense moment, a soft and melodious voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Yaoguang, you go and teach your traitor a lesson. I'll take care of Shen Jianxin."

Her voice was gentle, yet carried a strange, seductive quality that instantly drew everyone's attention.

Yao Guang raised her hand and withdrew the palm print that was about to strike Wen Yan. She turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came, a look of understanding flashing in her eyes.

Wen Yan also opened her eyes with difficulty and looked in that direction, her eyes full of vigilance.

A pinkish-purple figure slowly floated down from the void, like a celestial maiden descending to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.

The woman was dressed in a long pinkish-purple dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind. She had a bewitching smile on her face and her eyes were full of charm. It was Yue Meng!

But Yue Meng at this moment is no longer the woman who once viewed everything with indifference and only wanted to return home.

A faint pinkish-purple mist swirled around her, containing a rich, alluring power of greed that could easily ignite the desires in people's hearts.

Yue Meng gently landed beside Shen Jianxin, looking at him tenderly, her voice soft as a whisper of love: "Shen Jianxin, it's me, Yue Meng. Do you remember me?"

"Wake up, look at me..."

As Yue Meng finished speaking, the pinkish-purple mist around her slowly surged, like invisible threads, quietly seeping into Shen Jianxin's body.

That is the power of greed, which can bewitch people's hearts, arouse the deepest greed in people's hearts, make people lose themselves, and ultimately be completely devoured by the power of greed.

No one knew that at this moment, Yue Meng had no real combat ability.

The Greed Demon system she cultivated focused on bewitching and controlling, and could only achieve victory by enticing the enemy's greed; it was fundamentally incapable of directly confronting the enemy.

The reason she dared to step forward was because she saw Shen Jianxin struggling with his inner turmoil, and his mind was in turmoil, which was the best time for her to make her move.

She thought that as long as she used the power of the Demon of Greed to bewitch Shen Jianxin and arouse his greed—the greed for power, the greed for revenge, and the greed for returning home—she could easily control him.

At that time, Shen Jianxin will become her puppet, at her mercy. She can even use Shen Jianxin's devouring body to improve her own cultivation.

But to her utter surprise, things took an unexpected turn.

At this moment, Shen Jianxin was engaged in a fierce debate and struggle with his second personality. His mind was completely in chaos, and he had no extra energy to resist external interference.

Without the deliberate control of the two personalities, the terrifying potential of his Devouring Body was unexpectedly activated by Yue Meng's power of greed!

"Buzz—!"

A deep hum came from Shen Jianxin's body.

The next second, an incredibly powerful suction force suddenly erupted from Shen Jianxin's body!

The suction force was terrifying to the extreme, like a bottomless pit that could devour everything in the world!

A massive energy vortex gradually formed around Shen Jianxin's body.

The vortex spun rapidly, emitting a whistling sound, and the suction force grew stronger and stronger.

The spiritual energy in the surrounding air was frantically pulled into the vortex; the black evil energy emitted by Yao Guang was continuously sucked away; even the rubble, grass and trees on the ground, as well as the residual energy of the dead cultivators, were pulled into the vortex and then slowly poured into Shen Jianxin's body along the vortex.

Yue Meng's expression changed drastically, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She never expected that her power of greed would activate the devouring power within Shen Jianxin's body!

Moreover, this devouring power is actually this strong!

She felt her body being held firmly in place by a powerful suction force, making it impossible for her to move.
