Yan Zaizen's actions were vicious and merciless. His transmitted taunt was essentially the same as shattering a person's belief in themselves, and albeit he used Lang Xue as the target, in truth it didn't matter. As long as he instigated the thought of weakness and inferiority into Yun Xuli, his fate would've been the same.

”Ahhh!!!” Yun Xuli's soul returned to his body. He clutched violently at his head. His eyes bloodshot, revealing a trace of madness and instability. That seemingly handsome and supreme appearance collapsed as his eyes suffused with killing intent and hatred.

However, Yan Zaizen only looked at Yun Xuli with frosty coldness. To him, Yun Xuli wished to take what belonged to him. Anyone who wished to snatch from the jaws of a sovereign must be willing to pay the price. In truth, Yan Zaizen wanted nothing more than to kill him and all those with similar thoughts.

”...” Pinaka stayed silent throughout the fight, but Yan Zaizen's last words were unnaturally vicious. Sure, his Dao was Sovereign Ascension and his personality had always been casual and vicious towards his enemies, but this was true cruelty.

Yan Zaizen's current emotional state was far crueler than before, as if he wished to collapse all those against him with a single fist.

”Ugh…” Yan Zaizen grasped his head and groaned. His eyes, which contained a dark-amber glint, flickered incessantly with various emotions. Deep within, he could feel his soul conflicting somewhat. With a step, he appeared before his protected body and placed his hand upon it. With a thought, his soul reinhabited his body. The moment he did, his eyes flashed with a trace of understanding. There was an innate warmth effusing from his eyes, one that retained his original personality.

The him who laughed at his father's jokes, felt peaceful in his mother's arms, and enjoyed adventure, wealth, and food.

Pinaka realized this sudden change as well.

”Soul bleeding?” Yan Zaizen silently asked. This wasn't the first incident, but it was never this intense. The killing intent and desires he had was truly at the very peak. Looking at Yun Xuli struggle violently as his clansmen arrived attempting to placate his sudden onset of insanity caused a chill to crawl into his spine.

”I'm...” looking at his hands, he felt more himself, ”since I broke through to the Gate of Sky Opening, my personality is becoming more combative and cruel. As if all life is my inferior. Could it be...is it truly soul bleeding?” When he discovered his status as a Non-Entity, Pinaka determined that his original state was similar to an artificial soul. After learning that there are other paths out there, he believed in the possibility that he wasn't an artificial soul. It was a possibility, but just a slight one.

Supposedly, his creator's personality was supposed to be integrating into his own. Therefore, there were sudden bouts of changes, such as going against the heavens fearlessly or experiencing memories of his creator's. Is it possible, that wasn't the case? After all, this wasn't just slight personality characteristics.

When he was facing the heavenly gate in his body, an uncontrollable aspect of his existence awakened as if he was a sovereign of all things. With a snap of his fingers, the heavens collapsed! This didn't feel like a memory or a slight personality change but as if his very existence, his very core was someone or something else. He trembled at the thought.

From what he could determine, his keen perception towards the heavens was due to his Non-Entity status, but is it possible...there was more to it? The black hole and kingly existence seemed to be independent yet conjoined with his own existence. What was the story behind them?!

He felt a sudden throbbing headache. There was a sensation of deep exhaustion from his body, soul, and mind. He felt hopelessly tired and simply wished to sleep.

A spatial rift appeared before his head, looking up, his eyes drooped slightly as if he was drained of all his energy. A sudden attraction power erupted from the spatial rift, sending Yan Zaizen through it.
