Above all spirits

Chapter 494 Come in and talk?

The moon tilted its head.

Are there any beings in the upper realm who cannot use their powers?

Oh, yes.

Those are the most basic, lowest-level beings, perhaps not even yet possessing any intelligence.

Although Yue was puzzled as to why Gu Yun would ask this question, she answered him in a very cooperative manner.

"sure."

Gu Yun pondered for a while.

"come over."

As he spoke, Gu Yun walked to the entrance of the cave. He did not go deep inside, but remained in the shadows at the edge of the cave entrance.

At the same time, Yue also obediently came to Gu Yun's side.

Whether it was a command from the Creator or her own heart, Yue was completely obedient to Gu Yun's words.

Gu Yun seemed to have also noticed this strange state.

He didn't say much. He's a results-oriented person; frankly, he doesn't care much about the process.

So, Gu Yun spread his fingers and placed them on Yue's head as if extracting her soul, pressing them against her soft silver hair, and said.

"Why don't you try using one of your powers now?"

"Eh?"

The moon felt the sudden warmth emanating from above and was somewhat dazed.

This cold-looking man actually had warm hands…

And a strange feeling...

wrong!

What am I thinking?!

Yue immediately realized the current situation, a blush flashed across her cheeks, and without saying a word, she began to condense her soul essence.

At this moment, she lowered her head slightly, her silver hair partially concealing her face, afraid that Gu Yun would see her in full.

"What type of power should be exercised?"

"Anything is fine. If it's an attack type, just throw it into the cave. The damage output can be reduced."

Gu Yun replied in this way.

Sensing the unique rhythmic flow of soul matter beneath the moon's skin, Gu Yun also unleashed his power: Assimilation.

He immediately looked sleepy.

The silver-haired woman in front of them was clearly exercising some kind of power, and as long as she was exercising that power, it was impossible for her to remain isolated from the outside world.

The exercise of power will naturally cause the soul essence to surge, and the surge of soul essence will naturally expand the meridian patterns related to the power, and continuously infuse, circulate, and consume it.

During this process, simply expanding the meridians cannot fully digest the burden brought about by exercising power. It is necessary to interact with the outside world to "dissipate heat," otherwise it will fall into an "overload" state, which is a side effect that should only occur when more than 50% of the body's soul matter is used at once.

This is why there is a surge of soul energy when an opponent uses their powers.

Even with concealment-type abilities, it's impossible to avoid interaction with the outside world. Gu Yun has used the ability "Stealth" many times, which is quite clear.

These powers simply consume little power and don't require any output considerations; they only need to operate smoothly, and their effects are further concealed.

However, this fundamental nature cannot be avoided.

"Continue releasing."

To rule out certain speculations, Gu Yun continued.

Yue obediently did as she was told without complaint. On the contrary, she quite liked it when Gu Yun pressed her head down; it was a novel feeling.

As Yue continued to exert its power, Gu Yun's expression grew increasingly solemn.

A sudden thought flashed through Gu Yun's bloodshot eyes, mixed with a purple light.

And it only lasted for a moment.

Gu Yun's pupils trembled slightly.

The nascent purple flame also died in the womb.

seriously.

There are not many things left that can shock Gu Yun.

Moreover, even if one is genuinely surprised, it won't cause too much emotional fluctuation.

But now he was genuinely shocked.

Not only do I not feel any power: any feedback from assimilation, but even...

You've detected a fluctuation in the rules?!

"How could this be?"

Gu Yun muttered to himself, his voice unusually hesitant.

Could it be that she really possesses a Chaos Treasure?

A momentary lapse of judgment caused Gu Yun's hand, which had been resting on Yue's head, to become slightly unsteady. Yue naturally sensed this change and turned to look at Gu Yun.

Seeing Gu Yun's solemn and surprised expression, Yue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"what happened?"

Gu Yun slowly withdrew his outstretched hand and finally came to a conclusion.

If there's nothing wrong with his own powers and Yue doesn't have any Chaos Treasures, then it's very likely that there's something wrong with Yue himself; he's more inclined to believe that.

"you…"

It's confirmed that Yue has a big secret, and the next question will likely involve Yue's fundamental interests.

In order to control Yue as soon as possible, Gu Yun did not hesitate to enter his full power mode. He did not know what special methods Yue had, but he was sure that Yue was not simple. At the same time, the coldness in his eyes gradually solidified, because this also meant that everything just now was Yue putting on an act for him.

Gu Yun was unaware of her purpose.

And he.

It is essential to understand the power: the root cause of assimilation failure.

A purple-gold flame ignited in the center of the blood-red pupils, and the Yin-Yang diagram of life and death that suddenly appeared behind him slowly rotated, appearing particularly sinister and terrifying due to the lack of light.

An unusual sense of oppression swept over Yue's entire body in an instant, clamping her down like a pair of pincers, making it impossible for her to move or even breathe.

A look of panic suddenly appeared on Yue's face. At the same time, she was internally reviewing what she had done wrong and why Gu Yun's attitude had changed so much all of a sudden.

Having confirmed certain facts, Gu Yun spoke frankly.

"What kind of being are you?"

The fact that there is no race that asks about the moon demons makes the meaning all too clear.

"Why can't I sense the 'real' essence of soul matter in you?"

as well as…

What is your purpose in targeting me?

The three soul-searching questions each strike at the heart of the moon.

What Gu Yun couldn't understand was that after hearing his three questions, the initial panic in Yue's eyes remained, but the panic had completely disappeared.

Upon learning the cause and effect, Yue felt a sense of relief wash over her.

Before he could even find an opportunity to explain his origins, Gu Yun had already noticed his problem, even though none of the demon lords had noticed it during the preliminary test.

I couldn't help but mutter a couple of things to myself.

'Tch, that's all?'

'Still trying to fool the Demon King?'

'That stinky octopus! He kept bragging about his abilities, what a load of rubbish!'

In the end, he couldn't even hide it from the demon generals and beings right in front of him.

垃！

then.

Yue sensed her surroundings, especially the direction outside the cave. After confirming that there were no signs of life around, Yue took a deep breath, her eyes showing a resolute look.

He then got up and walked into the cave, intending to tell everyone everything.

Now that Gu Yun has realized it, there is only one path left.

Whether she lives or dies after revealing everything is beyond her control.

This is her fate, and Yue has long since come to terms with it.

Where is Gu Yun?

The moment Yue stood up, he immediately brandished his knife and placed it across the cave entrance.

To Gu Yun's surprise, the direction was wrong.

One went in, while the other blocked the way outside.

Eyes wide open.

Until Yue's voice transmission was clearly received by Gu Yun.

'Um…shall we…come inside and talk?'
