Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Initially, Xu Shan was still worried about Ji Yang possessing some treasure that could help him escape.

Even with sealing the space, he wasn't confident enough that he could catch Ji Yang if he had a treasure like that. What happened with Qin Ye last time really gave a heavy blow to his reckless confidence. However, the situation was different now.

The fury of the King was evident as he perceived Ji Yang's audacity in speaking to Xu Shan in such a manner. But before he could intervene, Xu Shan raised his hand to signal everyone to remain quiet.

"It looks like even that secret of yours can't see through everything..." Xu Shan felt as if a lot of his worries had eased at that moment. "If you had stayed silent, I might've been apprehensive about my actions. However, you made my work easier by speaking."

His biggest worry was that he didn't know if Ji Yang could escape. However, if Ji Yang really had something like that, he would've already escaped instead of approaching him and exposing the fact that he knew everything.

It just convinced Xu Shan that this guy had no treasure that could help him escape. As for the statement about him possessing some treasure that could destroy this entire place and kill both of them, it didn't matter even if it was true. He had many life saving treasures that he received from his father before leaving home.

"You know what the biggest weakness of such a treasure is?" Xu Shan asked, taking a step closer to Ji Yang.

"You don't trust me? Do you really want to risk your life to test my words? I promise you, we'll both die together!" Ji Yang stated, subconsciously taking a step backward.

"The biggest problem of a treasure like that is..." Xu Shan continued, as if he didn't even hear the young man's words.

When he came here, he hadn't expected to find another book here, and that too in possession of such a weak person. Qin Ye was at least an Overlord, who had an entire Empire under his control. However, this guy was nothing!

Xu Shan didn't know if he could use the Book of Truth after killing the young man, but just the possibility itself was incredible.

"It's that dead people can't use them..." Xu Shan finally finished his sentence.

Ji Yang's pupils dilated as he sensed an icy sensation trickling down his back. In the blink of an eye, he was engulfed by a frigid aura.

[Warning!]

[Warning!]

Multiple screens popped up beside him but before he could even react, an invisible blade passed through his neck, taking his head along with it.

The lifeless body of the young man dropped to the ground. Even as his head fell on the ground, his eyes remained open. He already knew that it was dangerous when his system gave him this task. But to think that even with his bluffing, he would fail like that... Even in his death, he couldn't believe it!

Xu Shan kept the body and the head in his storage ring. No matter what, the guy was one with Heaven's Blessing. He wanted to devour this guy, and even take the Book of Truth but he couldn't show the others.

"Lead me to the room. I'm tired." After taking the body, he stood up and lazily stated, as if he was getting really sleepy.

The people in the hall were really curious about what secret the two were talking about, but none dared to pry further.

The King personally led Xu Shan to his room. In his mind, he was blessing his luck! The young man who came to marry his daughter was dead! That meant he didn't need to marry his daughter and his father's promise wasn't broken either!

Moreover, it also meant that his daughter could try to approach Xu Shan! Even though he was sure that his daughter who was obsessed with nothing but attention wasn't capable of something like that. She wasn't like the alluring women who knew how to attract a man. But he still didn't give up hope.

As they walked down the hallway, he went on about his daughter's exceptional abilities, and also subtly hinted that she was currently single. He seemed eager for Xu Shan to show some interest in her. Despite this, Xu Shan remained impassive, giving nothing away.

Xu Shan didn't pay attention to what the person was saying. He was instead filled with excitement! It was his first experience of successfully eliminating a book holder, and fortune favored him by providing an easy target. He was eager to reach his room and find the Book of Truth.

Under the watchful eye of the King, Xu Shan was led to his room which had been carefully prepared to provide him with a comfortable stay. Meanwhile, Ye Han was assigned to the room adjacent to Xu Shan's.

The King showed Xu Shan his room, stopping outside. However, before Xu Shan could enter, the King finally asked the question. "Your Highness, which Prince of the Eternal Dynasty are you?"

"Third." Xu Shan spoke only one word before entering the room, closing the door behind him.

The king remained the only one standing outside. Prior to this moment, he had only heard harsh reports about the third prince's ruthless behavior. However, after witnessing what occurred earlier, he realized that while some of the rumors held the truth, they did not completely capture the prince's character.

Regardless of the situation, the Third Prince refrained from blaming them. Surprisingly, he appeared far from the savage creature as described in rumors, rather, he displayed an air of calculated intelligence akin to that of a skilled predator.

Xu Shan closed the door and activated a special tool he had obtained from his father under the guise of needing privacy. This device ensured that even Ye Han was unable to peer into his room.

After sealing the room, he finally brought out Ji Yang's body. 𝗯𝐞𝐝𝗻𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝗼𝐦

Before devouring him, he took the ring from the young man. What he was more interested in, was the Book of Truth!

Oddly enough, the Book was not located within the storage ring. Despite thoroughly searching the young man, the Book could not be found.

"Urgh, where is it? Where is that book?" He asked in frustration as he finally started using his Celestial Spirit to devour the young man.

Ji Yang had reached the pinnacle of the Celestial General Realm, and his pure celestial aura had a tremendous impact on Xu Shan's strength. Thanks to this influence, Xu Shan rose to the seventh stage of the same realm with ease. However, his attention was fixed on the emptiness in front of him. His eyes revealed great surprise.

As soon as he had finished devouring Ji Yang's soul, a blood red screen appeared before him.

[Warning: Connection with the host disconnected]

[Warning: Corruption Detected]

[Shutting Down]

[Error: Shutdown not possible]

[Corruption Detected! Corruption Detected! Consciousness is being erased. Knowledge Sea is being stolen]

[Emergency Shutdown Activated]

[Error: Corruption increased]

[Error: Emergency Shutdown not permitted]

[Error! Error! Error!]

Thousands of blood red error prompts opened up before Xu Shan. It was clear that the system was struggling against something as soon as he absorbed it. It was as if the System didn't want to allow him access, but a strange force was corrupting that system into something new!

He didn't even understand what was happening when the Desires came out of his storage ring on its own, sending a mysterious energy in his body.

As the mysterious energy entered his body, the error prompts only increased! The corruption stats increased as well, at a much faster pace!

The screen which was blood red started turning pitch black, as if black blood was infiltrating the system!
