I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 308: Chapter 207: Tragic Song

”A Tier Nine vessel, just thinking about it is so exciting.”

As soon as the Dream Demon finished speaking, the background color of Chen Zhongxia’s eyes began to turn pitch black.

The same black flames started to burn slowly in his eyes, growing increasingly intense.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will gain a Tier Nine vessel and complete his control over the Anti-Xia Alliance.

But at this moment.

The other ”Chen Zhongxia,” who had remained motionless, suddenly moved.

He forcefully grabbed the threads of sin on his body, drawing them toward himself.

In this action, the black flames entwining Chen Zhongxia were partially replaced by another under the influence of the Sinful Human Skin.

This sudden change,

gave Chen Zhongxia a brief moment to catch his breath.

The trait of the Dream True Fruit allowed Chen Zhongxia to successfully surpass the threshold of the Tier Eight Peak.

His talent in the Anti-Xia Alliance was already top-notch, otherwise, he wouldn’t have the strength of the Tier Eight Peak, only lacking an opportunity.

Originally, he thought the Dream True Fruit born on the alien race’s territory was the opportunity he had been seeking.

Who would have thought that such a rare treasure was part of a man-made conspiracy?

It can only be said that the Dream Demon’s plans were even more skillful.

Swallowing the Dream True Fruit was not just about being eroded by a nightmare; it was about planting a seed within the consumer.

When the Dream Demon approached and detonated this seed, the opponent’s soul would be consumed by nightmare flames, leaving only a soulless husk.

Chen Zhongxia, briefly awakened, understood this.

His soul was continuously burning, gradually becoming damaged and incomplete.

This process was irreversible and could not be stopped.

At this moment, even Bai Su, who had only suffered a trace of the nightmare’s burning flames, was in agony, collapsing to the ground.

Threads of the Sinful Human Skin broke one by one under the fire’s incineration.

Every break of a thread was a countdown to death for them.

After his brief awakening, Chen Zhongxia’s eyes were once again engulfed by black flames.

Suddenly, a high-pitched song rang out, instinctively causing Chen Zhongxia to look up.

Only to see.

Bai Su, who should have collapsed on the ground, somehow stood up again.

She seemed to return to the stage she was familiar with, performing and singing upon it.

It was a sorrowful song that could resonate with the soul!

Bai Su started dancing with the song, on the Sinful Human Skin draped over her body, more and more threads began to entwine.

In an instant, all the remaining threads of the Sinful Human Skin wrapped around her.

The threads tightly bound her flesh.

Black flames burned on her body.

She danced gracefully amidst the fire.

Outside the scene in memory, seeing this, Han Zhan stood in awe.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of heroes.

Even though Bai Su was still an ordinary person, the power bursting from her body had already far surpassed the majority!

Sorrowful song, last dance, actor.

Until the black flames completely engulfed Bai Su, her soul burned and shattered, the black flames, Sinful Human Skin, and Bai Su’s soul were mixed together.

Pain, distortion, chaos.

Bai Su pressed her tongue against her teeth, giving her utmost effort in one final struggle.

”Chen Zhongxia!”

The black in Chen Zhongxia’s eyes began to fade, and a struggle appeared on his face as he regained consciousness.

”It’s useless, your soul is nearly consumed by the Nightmare Fire. Without a soul, you can only become an empty shell for me to parasitize.”

”Just give up and stop resisting.”

The Dream Demon’s words whispered in his ear, like an elegant demon slowly pacing closer, waiting to reap the spoils of victory.

But he miscalculated one thing.

A Spirit Contract Master is never alone.

Bai Su’s sacrifice earned Chen Zhongxia another chance to breathe, and he had already thought of the most suitable solution for him from all the possible ways.

Better to shatter like jade!

Watching this scene, Han Zhan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He could somewhat guess Chen Zhongxia’s intention.

”His fragmented soul is surging into the Contracted Spirit Sword.”

”This is an unbelievably reckless action. What will happen when two souls appear within one vessel? Seize, shatter, or fuse?”

The Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword of Buried Sword City gave him the answer.

But this is Han Zhan, who came from the future and already knew the outcome in advance.

For Chen Zhongxia, choosing this path at this moment showed his resolve to perish together!

”Stop!” Dream Demon, realizing Chen Zhongxia’s intention, lost his elegance.

He panicked.

The soul is the essence of a life.

The Nightmare Fire consuming the soul is the key to him successfully seizing the vessel.

If the soul still remains, its control over the vessel will absolutely surpass that of an outsider like him!

The Dream Demon, controlling Chen Tao, attempted to approach and disrupt the process.

But it was already too late.

Chen Zhongxia’s soul fragments completed the fusion with the Contracted Spirit, and in front of everyone, the nascent form of the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword, defender of the Buried Sword City, appeared and solidified!

The forced fusion of the souls exacted a heavy price.

An already fragmented soul completely transformed into scattered starlight, merging abnormally with the Contracted Spirit’s soul, becoming a chaotic collective consciousness.

The presence of the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword continued to rise, finally reaching Tier Nine, just like Chen Zhongxia!

It no longer retained its original form, fully mutating into a brand new species.

A part of Chen Zhongxia’s obsession was preserved.

The Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword released a sweep of sword light, cutting through the demons and monsters, as the Dream Demon, realizing the situation was unsalvageable, transformed into a mass of black mist and fled far away.

Only then did the memory scene end.

...

The sudden death of that year turned out to be a conspiracy orchestrated by the Dream Demon.

Dream Demon Frog used the specially researched rare Dream True Fruit as bait, attracting the talented Tier Eight Peak powerhouse Chen Zhongxia.

Chen Zhongxia swallowed the Dream True Fruit, and with the ability of ”making dreams come true,” he successfully broke through into Tier Nine.

But at the same time, the Dream True Fruit backfired, with the nightmare erosion causing him to fall back and torment him day and night.

To suppress the nightmare erosion causing bodily mutations, Chen Zhongxia needed to consume a large number of ordinary dreams, and Bai Su, as an actor, helped him collect the audience’s emotions on the stage, as emotions could temporarily quench the nightmare’s influence.

During this process, Chen Zhongxia and Bai Su reached an agreement, with Bai Su using the Sinful Human Skin to endure the nightmare erosion for Chen Zhongxia, and Chen Zhongxia broke into Tier Nine to fulfill Li Tugui’s wish.

All of this was observed by the Dream Demon.

In the end, by braving the cost of his soul’s shattering, Chen Zhongxia merged with the Contracted Spirit, transforming into the Tier Nine Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword, continuing to defend the Buried Sword City.

Bai Su led the Nightmare Fire into her body with the Sinful Human Skin, ultimately shattering her soul, with the Sinful Fire Skin and her soul merging into one, becoming a deranged stage actor.

”I never thought it would turn out to be such a truth.”

After pondering for a long time, Elder Bing let out a long sigh.

”Did you really not expect it?”

Han Zhan turned his gaze coldly towards Elder Bing.

”Should I call you Mr. Frog, or, Dream Demon?”
