Yi Yun's eyes followed Shentu Nantian as he walked back to his position. From the beginning, Yi Yun was focusing on the black energy within Shentu Nantian's body.
Yi Yun suspected that as time went by, this energy would become stronger, and might even slowly evolve until it obtained sentience, thus becoming a real life.
And when it was strong enough, it could in turn swallow Shentu Nantian!
This sounded incredulous, but it was not impossible.
After it swallowed Shentu Nantian, what would it become? Would it keep entering other people's bodies to devour their vital force?
If it kept growing, to what extent would it grow? Could it one day threaten a Great Emperor?
An evil energy contained within an ancient relic eventually growing to the point of becoming a threat to a Great Emperor sounded unbelievable.
However, if the material used to create the ancient relic came from the Great Empress mystic realm, then it would not be surprising.
