Chapter 326: Tearing Lu Nian Apart Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Violent lightning arcs revolved around Mo Fan. The writhing purple-black energy swiftly formed a long spear made of countless lightning arcs in front of him! Mo Fan grabbed the lightning spear and drove forward with a burst of speed, as if he had merged with the lightning! The spear thrust right at Lu Nian’s chest. The lightning had already displayed its overwhelming penetrating force when it punctured an Advanced-level Tyrant Lizard’s brain! The purple lightning twisted in the air. The tip of the lightning spear made contact with Lu Nian’s chest. Lu Nian could feel the force of the lightning lunging at him. The lightning did not have any paralyzing effect. It was purely destructive, and there was no need to mention how overwhelming it would be when so many lightning arcs were gathered together into a thick spear. His golden armor was the first thing to meet the lightning spear. The advanced armor had no chance against the penetrating power. The spear instantly burned a black hole through it, piercing through the armor and striking Lu Nian’s chest, producing a wild, ear-piercing screech! The lightning arcs did slow down by a very small margin as they touched Lu Nian’s skin, rib cage and back, before punching through with brute force. The lightning tore his back open, leaving a huge bloody hole. The lightning spear was stuck into his chest, the tendrils continued to crackle in the air. Lu Nian’s body stiffened, his eyes widened. He tried to touch the hole in his chest, but his hand was instantly scorched black by the lightning. He could not feel any pain from his hand, as his life force was draining away at a lethal pace. Pain was not the scariest thing to humans, it was the moment when they could no longer feel pain, indicating that death was knocking on their door. “How...how could...how could you...” Lu Nian stared at Mo Fan with a contorted expression. The demonized Mo Fan was standing right in front of him, lightning flickering wildly around him. He was like a God of Lightning who had just descended to the mundane world. Mo Fan grinned sinisterly, before bursting into great laughter. His wild laughter and Lu Nian’s distorted face formed a great contrast. Perhaps Lu Nian, who had just slaughtered innocent lives a short time ago, never thought he would fall into this kid’s hands. Such an outstanding force should be under his control instead. Why would...why would he treat him as his first target, instead? The Demon Element, he had tried so hard just to find a suitable candidate for the experiment, but he had accidentally made someone who ended up as his nightmare, who just impaled him with lightning... Not a single drop of blood was visible. The scorched hole on his chest resulted in an extremely shocking view as his body slowly fell backward. In the final moment of his life, he realized just how beautiful the sky was, like a giant blue gem. However, he could see a face in the sky, a sinister-looking one covered in crimson lines. It belonged to a young man, the perfect test subject of the new Element. He just couldn’t accept it! He was so close to having the perfect demon under his control, which he could abuse to finally do anything he desired... “AHHHHH!” As his life approached its final moment, the claws of countless Shadow Wolves lunged at his nearly dead body. Lu Nian initially thought his life would simply end soon, but he still suffered unimaginable pain at the final second. The pain was inflicted right on his soul, after leaving its physical container! The claws were able to attack his soul directly. Mo Fan had done it on purpose, using the claws to tear his soul into pieces, not giving the commander a chance to turn into a deceased spirit... The soul of a human was utterly fragile. It would vanish from the world after receiving any direct attack, as if the soul were repeating its death countless times over. The reason why Hell was so terrifying was because it was said to be torturing the souls of those who were dead! Lu Nian did not even have time to show remorse as he was torn into pieces by Mo Fan’s shadow claws. Mo Fan did not even allow the pieces to drift away with the wind. They were absorbed into a strange river. It seemed like the Underworld River, with countless souls of demon beasts lingering on its surface. They were utterly terrifying to Lu Nian’s fragmented soul. Was this actually Hell? Did he really end up in Hell? —— The pendant let out a soft buzz. Mo Fan could even hear Lu Nian’s scream of agony from inside it. Either way, the souls being drawn into the Little Loach Pendant would eventually be refined. It was impossible to tell if the pain from being refined was comparable to the inhumane experiments. At least, it definitely would not feel good, as anything related to the Soul Element was tightly related to pain, torture, and death. — After killing Lu Nian with his own hands, Mo Fan suddenly felt his mind going blank, as if he had lost purpose. Zhan Kong looked at him from a safe distance away, not daring to get any closer. From what Zhan Kong knew, the strength that the demonized Mo Fan had displayed was still not his full potential. He wanted to help Mo Fan recover from his current state, but he was clueless about how to approach him. Not many test subjects were able to survive this long after the transformation. Zhan Kong was not involved in the inhumane experiment either, so he had no idea what to do. He decided to try communicating with Mo Fan, since he appeared to still have a slight hint of his own personality compared to those who had demonized in the past. “Mo Fan...” Zhan Kong fixed his eyes on Mo Fan. The demonized Mo Fan turned his head around. His eyes were filled with rage that was on the verge of bursting out. He did not attack Zhan Kong straight away, as he could still barely recognize the Chief Military Instructor from Bo City. However, a tearing pain spread across his brain, so intense that he felt like tearing his head half with his bare hands. It was an overwhelming and wild spiritual impact, most likely the after-effects of using the Blood Sarira. It was strong enough to drive a person crazy, and even thoroughly shatter a person’s soul! Mo Fan let out a beastly scream. His Fire Element and Lightning Element spread out wildly into his surroundings after he lost control over them. “Listen, listen to me, Mo Fan... The Demon Element has never been considered a real Magic Element due to its insane after-effects! It is the same as overdrawing the hidden potential of a human’s soul in exchange for a temporary burst of extraordinary power. However, it’s possible that your soul will be shattered during the process!” Zhan Kong blurted out when he saw Mo Fan trying to resist the spiritual breakdown. “Tell...tell me...what I...should do!...” Mo Fan, who had managed to retain his final hint of rational thinking, responded to him!
