The Heavenly Demon fell into deep contemplation.
This situation was truly unusual.
It was equivalent to soone from the outside world calling for Sima Nan to awaken, but ordinary people simply couldn't interfere with a Mixed-origin level Heart Demon Tribulation. Even Primordial Supre Great Luo Golden Immortals found it extrely difficult to intervene, yet Su Yuan had sohow managed to interfere.
What was even more bizarre was that Su Yuan clearly hadn't intended to interfere—it was rely an additional side effect.
Sima Nan detected a faint sense of discord.
A subtle alertness began to stir within him.
"Your condition seems like external demonic invasion. This isn't a major issue. You just need to recuperate here with for so ti!" the Heavenly Demon stated.
Sima Nan breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll trouble the dical Saint!"
"Hehe, being able to assist the Sword Saint brings great joy!"
In this Heart Demon world, Sima Nan had already beco a Primordial Supre Great Luo Golden Immortal, a Saint of the Sword Path!
Sima Nan set his mind at ease.
While treating Sima Nan, the Heavenly Demon suppressed his abnormalities, gradually making Sima Nan forget about the strange changes.
anwhile, in the external world, Su Yuan's corruption continued unabated. With the Heavenly Demon's "cooperation," Su Yuan's corruption of Sima Nan gradually deepened.
It quickly reached twenty percent completion, with two percent of his true spirit already mutated into the form of an Abyssal Demon Seed.
A pleased expression appeared on Su Yuan's face.
At this stage, Sima Nan's abyssal transformation had beco irreversible. As ti passed, this process would automatically descend into the abyss, turning him into a servant of the depths until eventually his entire being beca an "appendage" of the abyss—existing unconditionally for the abyss, which ant for Su Yuan.
In the Heart Demon world.
Visible mutations once again appeared on Sima Nan's body. His ntal form wasn't just sprouting tentacles anymore—it was transforming entirely into the initial form of an abyssal demon.
Demonic keratinous skin gradually erged across Sima Nan's body.
"This isn't my body! Wrong! Who am I? I'm not the Sword Saint! I am... I am Sima Nan! The Sword Demon Sima Nan!"
Stimulated by the abyssal mutation, Sima Nan's consciousness finally cleared as he jolted awake from the Heart Demon world.
He fixed his gaze on the dical Saint and struck out fiercely.
The dical Saint sighed and engaged in combat.
After his abyssal transformation, Sima Nan's power surged severalfold. He actually managed to defeat and kill the Heavenly Demon Lord within the Heart Demon world.
Sima Nan's ntal state achieved so improvent, becoming much more stable.
Subsequently, Sima Nan tore open a spatial rift in the Heart Demon world and stepped into the next layer.
The abyssal-transford Sima Nan broke through layer after layer of Heart Demon worlds, achieving consecutive victories as if using cheats, showing clear signs of breaking through the Mixed-origin Heart Demon Tribulation.
The Heavenly Demon Lord stared in stunned disbelief. "Is this even possible?"
Su Yuan also noticed Sima Nan's tendency to awaken. The soul corruption was becoming increasingly difficult as the uncontaminated parts of his soul began glowing with golden light, with Mixed-origin intent starting to circulate.
Su Yuan was greatly surprised. "No way, this guy might actually break through? It seems I've truly underestimated the heroes of this world!"
Su Yuan couldn't help but acknowledge the impressiveness—the worse Sima Nan had perford before, the greater the shock his breakthrough now delivered!
He truly was an old scher.
Su Yuan intensified his corruption of Sima Nan, determined to corrupt as much as possible.
Ti seed to be racing against them.
The faster Su Yuan accelerated the corruption, the quicker Sima Nan broke through the barriers.
The quicker Sima Nan broke through, the more urgently Su Yuan focused on corrupting him.
The two ford a perfect cycle of mutual acceleration.
Only the Heavenly Demon Lord remained stuck between them, utterly speechless at their actions.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed.
Su Yuan's corruption progress on Sima Nan had reached the astonishing levels of forty percent of his soul and ten percent of his true spirit. This was nearly complete abyssal transformation—once it exceeded fifty percent, the remaining half would rapidly fill in. So in reality, Sima Nan didn't have much ti left.
But at this critical mont, Sima Nan finally broke through the final layer of the Heart Demon world. All his ntal consciousness converged, condensing into a Mixed-origin Spirit Core that descended into the center of his ntal sea.
The ntal island at the center of the ntal sea solidified, governing the entire ntal ocean. From this point, Sima Nan's mind beca indestructible and impervious to all arts.
Sima Nan couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. "I've broken through! Mixed-origin ntal state, perfectly unified! I... huh?"
He suddenly noticed sothing discordant—the newly ford ntal island was forty percent pitch black, and forty percent of his ntal sea resembled black ink, continuing to spread into the normal ntal sea.
Sima Nan imdiately perford internal observation, realizing that everything he experienced in the Heart Demon world wasn't false but had actually happened to him.
The mutation still existed!
When Sima Nan gazed at that portion of the ntal sea, he involuntarily felt a sense of submission toward so existence, as if he were naturally born to be that being's servant.
"No, I refuse!"
Golden light erupted from Sima Nan's mind, shining upon the black sea. The black energy spread and was infinitely suppressed, spreading through the ntal sea at an extrely slow pace—so slow it appeared almost stationary. But no matter how slow, the day would eventually co when the entire ntal sea would turn completely black!
"What exactly is this thing?"
Sima Nan opened his eyes. In one eye flashed sacred Mixed-origin spiritual light, while the other eye shimred with profound darkness.
Sima Nan felt his power inexplicably increase by fifty percent. Both his magical power and physical body had beco much stronger than before, but this wasn't due to his Mixed-origin ntal breakthrough—it ca from the mutation!
He didn't want this mutated power!
When his gaze habitually swept around and landed on Su Yuan, a terrifying sense of submission surged from the depths of his heart. He felt an impulse to imdiately kneel and pay homage.
Sima Nan glared furiously. "So it's you! What have you done to ?"
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Is that how you speak to your master?"
"Master? You?" Sima Nan said disdainfully.
"Stand up!" Su Yuan suddenly commanded.
Sima Nan looked at him coldly, but soon looked down at his own feet in disbelief.
He had stood up from his cross-legged sitting position!!!
Sima Nan turned pale with horror, finally realizing the severity of the situation.
He imdiately closed off his perceptions and examined his inner self.
But a thought abruptly sounded in his mind.
"Stop struggling, Sima Nan. You are already my servant, my sharpest claw. I will grant you powerful strength—accept it! Once you accept this power, you will beco even stronger!"
Su Yuan's voice, like demonic whispers, made Sima Nan's face darken like the bottom of a pot.
He knew he had been tricked—he had been too careless!
But he couldn't understand how a re Great Luo Golden Immortal could affect him like this?
He believed there must be a solution. He hadn't been completely enslaved yet—he still maintained his original self!
In the Demon Realm.
His clone quickly found the Lord of the Demon Realm!
"Demon Lord Master, your disciple has broken through to the Mixed-origin ntal state!" Sima Nan first reported the good news.
The Lord of the Demon Realm praised approvingly, "Excellent! No wonder Ancestor Heavenly Demon praised you. Well done!"
Sima Nan paused. Ancestor Heavenly Demon praised him? Was it because he broke through the Mixed-origin ntal state?
But this wasn't the ti to concern himself with that.
He said gravely, "However, I've encountered a small problem. During my breakthrough, soone laid a hidden hand on . Now I'm half-controlled by the other party! I beg Master to save !"
The Lord of the Demon Realm imdiately placed a hand on Sima Nan's clone's shoulder, sending a massive holy consciousness sweeping through Sima Nan's mind.
Thus he witnessed the terrifying scene within Sima Nan's mind—nearly forty percent of his ntal sea had been contaminated by so power that appeared evil, dark, filthy, and full of seductive and corruptive aura!
When his consciousness contacted the abyssal aura, the Lord of the Demon Realm sensed an extrely profound essence of power—a supre power that surpassed the Primordial Supre Great Luo Golden Immortal!
"How is this possible?" The Lord of the Demon Realm was greatly surprised.
"Master, is there a way to eliminate this power?" Sima Nan asked eagerly.
The Lord of the Demon Realm frowned. "This sovereign needs to study it!"
Sima Nan panicked. His master was the Lord of the Demon Realm—even such a powerful being needed to study it? This power seed to have more profound origins than he had imagined.
Su Yuan's voice suddenly sounded again in Sima Nan's mind: "Continue competing for the benefits of the Heart Refinent Path. Now that you have a Mixed-origin ntal state plus my enhancents, you have great hope of claiming first place. After obtaining the opportunity, give the item to !"
Su Yuan's voice fell into Sima Nan's mind like successive commands.
Sima Nan absolutely didn't want to respond, but his body began moving with utmost loyalty.
He quickened his pace, heading toward the end of the Heart Refinent Path.
To Sima Nan's surprise, it seed that because nearly half of his ntal sea was occupied by abyssal power, half of the Heart Refinent Path's damage was being borne by the abyssal power. This significantly reduced the ntal refinent difficulty Sima Nan endured, while his ntal state had also improved. With this combination of increase and decrease, his progress speed had increased by more than ten tis compared to before!
His actions imdiately attracted the attention of Zhuge Tao, who was walking ahead.
Others also focused their attention on Sima Nan.
Everyone noticed that Sima Nan's current speed was several tis faster than Zhuge Tao's!
"You actually broke through?!" Zhuge Tao said in surprise.
Sima Nan snorted coldly. "Just the Mixed-origin ntal state—nothing special!"
Zhuge Tao said gravely, "I admit I underestimated you before, but thinking you can catch up to in such a short ti is wishful thinking."
"That might not be certain!" Sima Nan sneered, his steps so fast they seed to ignore the surrounding Heart Refinent Flas.
At this mont, Su Yuan sent another ntal ssage to Sima Nan: "Sima Nan, transmit your insights on breaking through to the Mixed-origin ntal state to !"
Sima Nan said coldly, "Impossible! Unless you return my top-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure to !"
Sima Nan struggled to resist Su Yuan's ntal command.
Su Yuan casually tossed the sword he had previously taken back toward Sima Nan.
Sima Nan stared in shock, then involuntarily transmitted his breakthrough insights to Su Yuan.
A thought flashed through Sima Nan's mind: "He returned my precious sword to . Maybe following him isn't so bad after all!"
