Chapter 379 - 298: Shocking Change

After these past few battles, the Orange Cat had finally found its niche.

Its purpose was to dispose of the corpses of Evil Spirits for Han Yuan.

It was, after all, quite the expert at destroying evidence.

"Let’s go!"

Han Yuan said in a low voice.

Right now, he had no idea what was happening in the Demon Suppression Tower.

He knew that if the Source Seed truly mutated and was then devoured by the Faceless Source Evil Seed, the consequences would be dire. The destruction wouldn’t be limited to just the Great Vajra Temple.

Besides, apart from the Source Evil Seed, the Demon Suppression Tower surely suppressed other evil creatures.

If those creatures escaped, it would be a huge problem.

The moment Han Yuan sped toward the Demon Suppression Tower, another Corpse King attacked ferociously.

But Han Yuan paid it no mind, slaying it instantly with a swing of his Heaven-Defying Saber.

The Faceless Monk, who was locked in a deadly struggle with Monk Xu Hai, grew anxious when he saw Han Yuan about to charge into the Demon Suppression Tower.

With a flick of his wrist, he shook his Human Head Zen Staff.

A gray, withered head cackled bizarrely as it detached from the Human Head Zen Staff. It transformed into a streak of gray light and lunged viciously at Han Yuan.

A sinister, shrill laugh echoed relentlessly in Han Yuan’s mind, making him feel incredibly irritable.

The source of the laughter was, of course, the gray head.

"You’re asking to die!"

A brutal glint flashed in Han Yuan’s eyes. His irritation erupted into a nameless rage as he swung the Heaven-Defying Saber with both hands, viciously slashing at the gray head.

As if sensing Han Yuan’s fury, the Heaven-Defying Saber began to swirl with black Demonic Qi. It transformed into a sinister, crazed, and twisted Resentful Soul, which opened its gaping maw and swallowed the gray head whole.

The twisted Resentful Soul even let out a satisfied burp.

Then, the twisted Resentful Soul turned its gaze on Han Yuan.

"You’re asking to die!"

Seeing this, Han Yuan showed no mercy, directly blasting it with a Celestial Spirit Divine Fist.

BAM!

The twisted Resentful Soul was once again blasted apart by Han Yuan’s fist, dissipating into a cloud of black qi that flew back into the Heaven-Defying Saber.

’This thing...’

’It never behaves unless you beat it into submission.’

Han Yuan snorted.

Seeing Han Yuan dispose of one of his ghost heads so easily, the Faceless Monk was about to shake his Human Head Zen Staff again.

But this time, Monk Xu Hai gave him no such chance. Wielding his Vajra Pestle, his body glowed with golden light like a descended vajra warrior as he lunged, thrusting the weapon toward the Faceless Monk’s head with immense force.

Seeing this, the Faceless Monk had no choice but to swing his Human Head Zen Staff to block!

CLANG!!!

As the two sides clashed, Han Yuan seized the opportunity to rush into the Demon Suppression Tower with the Orange Cat.

RUMBLE!!!

The stone doors of the Demon Suppression Tower automatically slammed shut behind them.

Han Yuan had now entered the Demon Suppression Tower twice in less than a day.

This time, he felt that it was completely different from his first visit.

His first visit had been unsettling, but it was still within the realm of his comprehension.

But now, things were different.

He could feel an indescribable fluctuation permeating even the First Layer of the Demon Suppression Tower.

This fluctuation seemed to have a powerful effect on one’s Heart Spirit.

Even Han Yuan felt his mind being flooded with strange voices.

It was a cacophony—the sound of people kneeling in prayer, the sound of countless others screaming.

On top of that, there were the sounds of endless, mournful wails...

In short, all the sounds mixed together, making his head feel like it was about to explode!

Han Yuan immediately activated the Innate Great Demon Scripture.

An extremely brutal emotion surged through his heart, finally managing to suppress the chaotic voices somewhat.

The Orange Cat also arched its back, its gaze fixed ahead, all traces of its usual nonchalance gone.

"Fat Thief, what do you smell this time?"

Han Yuan asked quietly.

"It’s the same as last time at Taicang Mountain... the scent of that Source Seed Shredded Meat..."

"It fills me with utter disgust and terror..."

the Orange Cat said gravely.

"Alright. Be careful, and don’t worry about me,"

Han Yuan said in a low voice.

"Don’t worry," the Orange Cat nodded.

Han Yuan immediately headed for the stone steps leading from the First Layer to the Second Layer.

When Han Yuan once again reached the cells on the First Layer, he discovered that the prisoners had all committed suicide, unable to bear the bizarre sounds. The states of their corpses were exceptionally grotesque.

One had pierced his own throat with his fingers.

Another had snapped his own neck.

One had even torn out his own heart...

Yet, all the dead wore the same expression on their faces.

Relief.

For them, death had been a release.

Han Yuan didn’t linger and proceeded directly to the Second Layer.

Compared to the First Layer, the Second Layer was completely different.

The people imprisoned here... had actually all been infected by the Evil Demon Seed.

Influenced by the bizarre sounds, these already-tainted individuals had become even more violent and frenzied, and were continuously ramming against their cell doors.

RUMBLE!!!

Following a series of thunderous crashes, the cells on the Second Layer rumbled and collapsed one after another.

Numerous terrifying, hideous, demon-like figures shrieked madly, as if celebrating their newfound freedom.

And it was at this exact moment that Han Yuan arrived.

He froze for a moment upon seeing the scene, then broke into a smile.

’This works out. It saves me the trouble of clearing them out cell by cell.’

SWOOSH!

A figure shrieked and charged viciously at Han Yuan.

The creature was covered in oozing pus and gave off a horrid stench. Its facial features were no longer human.

Seeing this, Han Yuan drew his Heaven-Defying Saber and slashed!

His Innate Great Demon True Qi transformed into a blade of razor-sharp Sword Evil, incomparably fierce.
