Chapter 836 - 763: A Special Wraith

Chapter 836: Chapter 763: A Special Wraith

It seems the human authorities would have to redefine the Snake Emperor of the Yaoling Mountain Range. Not only was that snake explosively powerful in his own right, but even a servant accompanying him was unfathomably deep. The Ghost Demon was gone just like that.

Although the Ghost Demon had suffered considerable injuries, it shouldn’t have been dealt with so easily by the other party. It could only be said that this demonically handsome man’s strength was far greater than Du Jun had imagined. Perhaps not even inferior to Ling Yihang at his peak.

After a long time, Du Jun saw the cross-legged Tu Xiao’an open his eyes, and an unparalleled aura of dominance swept out. The aura was indescribably strong, terrifyingly so.

Rank Four? Du Jun deeply suspected this, because under the other party’s aura, he couldn’t help but prostrate himself. He couldn’t resist. One must know, he was a Third stage Peak War God.

Immediately after, Du Jun was completely dumbfounded. He saw a strong light burst forth from Tu Xiao’an’s body. It contained a uniquely blessed Elemental Attribute.

"It’s the Power of Light," Du Jun said, his eyes wide with horror as he looked at Tu Xiao’an, who was completely enveloped in light. He found it hard to believe. Suddenly, he somewhat understood why this snake possessed so many Elemental Powers. Abnormal, terrifying. There was a reason this snake was able to become the Emperor of the Yaoling Mountain Range.

"Haha... finally reached Perfection," Tu Xiao’an laughed.

Data manifested.

Host: Tu Xiao’an.

Bloodline: Transcendent (Above Super Class).

Level: Level 39 (Perfection).

Elemental Attributes: Power of Thunder and Lightning, Flame Power, Ice Frost Power, Power of Water, Gold Element, Power of Darkness, Power of Light.

Battle Companions: Several.

Rank Four of Ascension Trial Mission: 1/5.

...

Having devoured Ling Yihang, Tu Xiao’an finally stood at the top of the Rank Three Perfection pyramid. His combat power would no longer be inferior to Rank Four.

"Du Jun, there’s nothing more for you here. You may leave," Tu Xiao’an said lightly after glancing at his stats.

Du Jun froze. What was with this tone? This was his Demon Management Bureau, where was he supposed to retreat to?

"Lord Snake Emperor, I hope you can hand the Ghost Demon over to me," Du Jun said, bracing himself. The losses this time were too immense. The bosses of the four major cities were all dead. If he could hand the Ghost Demon over to the authorities, he would at least have some explanation and a bit of merit to show for his hard work. Otherwise, Du Jun would be in deep trouble.

"You’re really living in a dream," Tu Xiao’an smiled disdainfully and walked toward Building One.

Soon, inside an office. Mengqi the Little White Fox lay on the sofa, still unconscious. By the looks of it, even if she woke up, she would be delirious. Because the Ghost Demon wasn’t dead yet.

"Xiaoyang," Tu Xiao’an called out softly, and the Artifact Spirit abruptly appeared. Then, with a wave of his hand, a bewildered Ghost Demon materialized.

"She was hit by your dark wind. Dispel it," Tu Xiao’an commanded the Ghost Demon.

The Ghost Demon looked at Tu Xiao’an, then at the demonically handsome man, and felt its mind crumbling. It suddenly felt overwhelmingly weak.

"Why should I listen to you? I can step in and save this Little White Fox, but you must let me go afterward," the Ghost Demon stated its conditions.

Tu Xiao’an said coldly and indifferently, "You have no right to negotiate terms with me. If I kill you, this Little White Fox will return to normal anyway. Do you need me to do that?"

The Ghost Demon was stunned. It thought, "How ruthless!"

Immediately, the Ghost Demon walked up to the unconscious Little White Fox and inhaled toward her. Instantly, Tu Xiao’an saw a faint wisp of black mist rise from Xiaoqi’s body and enter the Ghost Demon’s mouth. Swallowing the black mist, the Ghost Demon gave Tu Xiao’an a look indicating that she was fine now.

"What exactly are the methods you use?" Tu Xiao’an asked curiously. The Ghost Demon’s own strength wasn’t particularly terrifying, but its miraculous methods were worthy of praise. They were completely unimaginable. "Or perhaps, tell me what exactly you are."

In fact, Tu Xiao’an had used Conscious Insight on the Ghost Demon long ago, but the Insight had failed. The failure this time wasn’t because the Ghost Demon was stronger than Tu Xiao’an, but rather due to its unique nature. It possessed the form of a Fierce Beast, yet also the illusory phantom of a ghost. Clearly, the Ghost Demon preferred the latter.

"I am not a ’thing’," the Ghost Demon replied.

"You should know what I mean. If you want to live, answer my questions obediently."

The reason Tu Xiao’an kept the Ghost Demon alive was firstly out of curiosity about its identity, and secondly, to learn about the World Tree Ruins through it. After all, it was born from the World Tree.

"I am a ghost, an evil ghost that can arouse people’s infinite desires," the Ghost Demon said sinisterly, then flashed a chilling, vicious smile at Tu Xiao’an.

SMACK!

Tu Xiao’an delivered a backhand slap that plastered the Ghost Demon against the office wall like a piece of drawing paper. "Don’t play your little tricks on me. Just because you’re called the Ghost Demon, you really think you’re a ghost?"

The Ghost Demon slowly slid down the wall and looked fearfully at Tu Xiao’an. "Alright, I’m not a ghost. I’m a Wraith."

SMACK!

Tu Xiao’an slapped the Ghost Demon into the wall again and sneered, "May I ask, what is the difference between a Wraith and a ghost?"

"I really am a Wraith! A special form of a Wraith. I can arouse the desires of any creature, as long as it has sentience!"

"Heh!" Tu Xiao’an continued to sneer, "If you’re a Wraith, how do you have the body of a Fierce Beast? Don’t assume I didn’t see it earlier."

"I already told you, I’m a special form of a Wraith!"

"I see you haven’t been slapped enough." Tu Xiao’an walked straight over to the wall, rolled the Ghost Demon into a ball, tossed it at his feet, and began stomping on it vigorously.

"AH... AH... AH...!" The Ghost Demon let out agonizing screams. "Everything I said is true! If you don’t believe me, why did you even ask?!"

He thought, "Oh, you dare to talk back?"

Tu Xiao’an started jumping up and down on it. First a ghost, then a Wraith. Was it trying to bully him for having a narrow scope of knowledge?

"Master, what it says is probably true," the Artifact Spirit Xiaoyang suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Hmm?" Tu Xiao’an looked at the Artifact Spirit.

"In Ancient Times, there was an incarnation of desire that appeared in this world through a special magnetic field. Acting like ghosts and demons, and shaped like Wraiths, they could control sentient creatures, pillage by force, and forcibly occupy their bodies," Xiaoyang said softly.

However, Tu Xiao’an didn’t quite understand. An incarnation of desire? What the hell was that?

Xiaoyang continued to explain, "As long as one has sentience, they will possess the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. For Ling Yihang, whom Master just devoured, his desire was ambition, and also greed. There is also lust, gluttony, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride. Every creature will have one particularly strong desire. When hit by the Ghost Demon’s attack, the desires in one’s heart will suddenly skyrocket and become difficult to control, after which one is controlled by it."

It was a controller of desire.

As Tu Xiao’an listened, he seemed to understand a little. He looked at Xiaoqi on the sofa. Once this fox was hit by the attack, she became somewhat unable to control her passions. Could it be that her desire was lust? It was just like taking a mind-altering drug.

"Only by gathering all seven human desires, and going through a special alignment of time, place, and people, is it possible for a Wraith to be born."
