Chapter 162: Chapter 157: The Crystal Upheaval
After an intimate kiss, Ye Tian released Wang Bingbing’s embrace and said with a smile, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to get a room."
Hearing this, Wang Bingbing, who was usually carefree, actually blushed and nodded, humming softly like a mosquito, "Mm."
Ye Tian was startled too, thinking to himself that the little maid was not her usual rebellious self today—she was even acting submissive, ready to be plucked like a piece of clothing. It was over, she must have been entranced by him.
While he was pondering this, a sudden pain emerged from within his body, and Ye Tian groaned, his complexion turning ashen.
"What’s wrong?" Wang Bingbing asked concernedly.
Ye Tian furrowed his brow and slowly circulated his pure Inner Clan Mastery, suppressing the fluctuations of the Crystal Ball.
After a long while, Ye Tan said, "I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable and need to go back to adjust my condition. We can get a room next time, and then I’ll definitely devour you, hehehe."
"Oh right, don’t forget to look for the King of Hell. This matter is very important to me."
With that, he grazed Wang Bingbing’s nose with his finger and left with a smile.
"Don’t worry, I’ve been searching with all my might. It won’t be long before I find him."
Wang Bingbing gazed tenderly at Ye Tian’s retreating figure, reluctant to part with him. She truly wanted to reach out and grab his hand, begging him not to leave her, when her phone rang inside her bag.
Ye Tian walked out of Wang Bingbing’s five-star hotel, took his Jeep back from the doorman, and drove silently back to the villa in Jin Guan City.
Just now, the Crystal Ball within his body had acted up, causing Ye Tian to break into a cold sweat.
Over the past few days, the pulsing of the Crystal Ball had been accelerating continuously, especially just now—it had sped up significantly yet again, leaving Ye Tian with a very bad premonition.
The Crystal Ball was something belonging to the King of Hell and had been inside Ye Tian for far too long. The crisis was becoming increasingly severe, and Ye Tian even had the feeling that it wouldn’t be long before the Crystal Ball would completely erupt.
"King of Hell, you better not let me see you, or I swear I’ll take your life!" Ye Tian vowed silently to himself.
Now, Yun Xinyan’s Peony Flower Poison had been completely resolved, leaving only the Crystal Ball inside Ye Tian as his ongoing concern.
Driving the rented Jeep, Ye Tian arrived at the villa’s gate in Jin Guan City. It was already midnight, the neighborhood was very quiet, the lights were out, and the neighbors had long since entered their dreams.
Yun Xinyan had also gone to sleep, not forgetting to leave a light on for Ye Tian. There was a note on the living room table saying that the food was in the microwave and just needed to be warmed up before eating.
"Wife is so considerate." Looking at the delicate handwriting on the note, Ye Tian felt warmth in his heart and was very moved.
Peeking into Yun Xinyan’s bedroom, Ye Tian saw she was already sound asleep with the bedside lamp still on. He quietly turned it off for her, planted a gentle kiss on her beautiful cheek, and quietly left the bedroom.
Continuing his training of Inner Clan Mastery was a daily must-do for Ye Tian. He went downstairs to the underground training room and began his intense workout routine.
Chinese martial arts of the inner family stresses accumulation over time. Daily diligent practice is essential to achieve qualitative transformation. Practicing such a top-tier Inner Strength involves both dynamic and static aspects.
What Ye Tian had just practiced was the dynamic aspect.
Time flew by, and before he knew it, it was the early hours of the morning.
After a series of high-intensity exercises, Ye Tian was covered in sweat. He sank his breath into his Dantian, gathered his inner breath, put on the T-shirt hanging on the parallel bars, and went upstairs to take a shower.
After washing off the sweat, Ye Tian returned to the training room to begin his meditative cultivation, sitting quietly with eyes closed.
Calming his mind and silently perceiving, Ye Tian sat cross-legged in the space, gradually entering a state of clarity. freёweɓnovel_com
After the time it took an incense stick to burn, Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes and furrowed his brows, "The Crystal Ball! Damn it!"
In the just-completed sitting meditation, whenever Ye Tan’s focus converged on a particular part of his body, he met with resistance once again, and this time, the resistance was much greater than before.
Nobody knew his own body better than he did.
Ye Tian knew this resistance was coming from the Crystal Ball. An increase in resistance meant the changes in the Crystal Ball were intensifying, which was not a good sign.
Moreover, through careful observation and exploration, Ye Tian was shocked to discover an added tinge of blood-red within the crystal, which made him quite irritated.
"When Demonic Blood fills the entire Crystal Ball, that will be your time of death!"
The words of the King of Hell still echoed in his ears, strengthening the ominous premonition in Ye Tian’s heart.
Ye Tian’s brow remained furrowed, his fists tightened, "What exactly is this crystal?!"
It was the dead of night, and all was still when suddenly, a piercing whooshing sound came from outside the villa. Ye Tian, who had been in the basement, leapt up instantly. His body transformed into a streak of flowing light as he rushed outside.
This piercing sound, though unknown to others, was all too familiar to Ye Tian. It was the sound made by a top-tier expert when throwing a dart.
Moreover, Ye Tian was certain that the person behind the attack was extremely powerful, and even within the entire Heavenly List, probably only three individuals were capable of such a feat.
"It must be the Hell’s Old Ghost!" Ye Tian was very sure of it.
Ye Tian’s figure appeared speedily at the entrance of the villa, but all around him was bathed in moonlight, silent and peaceful, with no sign of any person or thing. Everything was tranquil and serene.
A glint of mysterious light flashed through his eyes as Ye Tian began to see through his surroundings. One by one, objects became transparent under his gaze, leaving no hiding place for anyone behind them.
"Nobody? Could I have heard wrong? That’s absolutely impossible!"
After a thorough search with his vision, Ye Tian saw nothing amiss, which made him feel rather puzzled. His years of experience lurking in the dark world convinced him that the King of Hell had definitely been there and thrown a dart, which was a fact that Ye Tian’s ears could not have missed.
Yet, there truly was no sign of irregularity; the King of Hell’s men were nowhere to be found.
"No good, a diversion!" Ye Tian suddenly exclaimed, panic striking him as he remembered Yun Xinyan, who was deep in sleep, and rushed straight into the bedroom.
Although the King of Hell would not be foolish enough to touch his wife under his very nose, the King of Hell was too insane, capable of doing anything.
A gust of wind stormed into Yun Xinyan’s bedroom. Ye Tian emerged from the wind to see his wife lying intact on the bed, an immense relief washing over him.
"Thank goodness she’s alright." Ye Tian tucked Xinyan in carefully and then quietly exited the bedroom.
When he reached the living room, Ye Tian saw the disc.
On the smooth wall of the living room, a disc was deeply embedded, the hard wall cracked, yet the fragile disc was intact. The martial skill of the person who threw it was incredibly high. This peerless skill in hidden weapons alone was enough to dominate a territory.
"The work of Hell’s Old Ghost!" Ye Tian frowned deeply as he walked over to retrieve the disc, ensuring there was no poison on it before taking it out.
The disc was quite plain, without even a title on it.
Ye Tian carried the disc into his own room, booted up his laptop, inserted it into the optical drive, and clicked the play button on the pop-up window.
The laptop screen immediately turned snowy, and after a moment, it cleared up to reveal a terrifying, grimacing face in the center of the screen.
"The Hell’s Old Ghost! It is you!" Ye Tian recognized the identity of the face. He was all too familiar with this person; it was impossible not to recognize him.
Behind the King of Hell was a darkness as eternal as night, with no indication of where the footage had been filmed.
The King of Hell opened his cavernous mouth and burst into crazed laughter. After a series of eerie chuckles, he finally spoke with a hoarse and sinister voice, seemingly coming from the Nine Darkness Hell, not at all like any sound a human could make.
"King of the Night, I know you will see this disc. By the time you do, I will already be in a place you cannot imagine, and you will never find me, hahahaha..."
After laughing maniacally, the King of Hell continued in his eerie tone, "Today is a special day, the Crystal Ball will undergo its first great transformation, and you will experience your first agony, hahahahaha..."
Another fit of destructive laughter, then he spoke again, "In one more hour, the Crystal Ball’s initial mutation will be over, and by then, you’ll understand what ’worse than death’ means, hahahahaha..."
Ye Tian’s eyebrows furrowed, and he spat out a word through clenched teeth, "Fuck!"
The video continued to play, and the King of Hell sneered, "King of the Night, you think you’re so formidable, so powerful, I can’t wait to see how you die! Soon, the Demonic Blood will fill the entire Crystal Ball, and by then, your time will come, and I will become the strongest existence in this world, the true Sovereign! Hahahaha!"
As the video ended, the screen filled with black and white static, and the King of Hell’s image vanished, never to appear again.
"Bastard!" Ye Tian’s brow was locked in anger, filled with immense fury, "Hell’s Old Ghost, if I catch you, I’ll rip you to pieces!"
In the midst of his fury, a sudden jolt of agitation came from within his body. Ye Tian frowned, knowing it was the Crystal Ball acting up again. It seemed the King of Hell had not been boasting; the Crystal Ball was undergoing major changes that would soon be complete.
Glancing at the time on his phone, and realizing it was not far from the moment predicted by the King of Hell, Ye Tian felt a growing ominous premonition. Without hesitation, he returned to his practice room, sat down to meditate, and began using genuine Inner Clan Mastery to suppress the mutation of the Crystal Ball.
As time passed, cold sweat began to appear on Ye Tian’s forehead. He had already discovered that the changes in the Crystal Ball were too formidable to be stopped by human effort.
Ye Tian had no choice but to settle for less, trying to alleviate the suffering brought on by the mutation.
However, what made Ye Tian helpless was that the pain inflicted by the Crystal Ball grew increasingly intense. At first, he was able to suppress it with his Inner Strength, easing the pain, but as the mutation neared completion, the easing effect lessened.
Finally, the first mutation of the Crystal Ball was fully completed, and Ye Tian faced excruciating pain for the first time.
