Capítulo 1865: Chapter 1866: The Initial Entry

The people of the White Tiger Tribe hold deep faith in the White Tiger Immortal Core, and Su Chengyu has witnessed this firsthand.

The fact that the White Tiger Immortal Core can gather such a vast amount of faith power is further evidence of this belief, leading Su Chengyu to realize that the tribe’s longing for the core is incredibly strong.

Even if someone doubted his words, surely they would verify them first.

Yet Agusi’s reaction was completely beyond Su Chengyu’s expectations.

He couldn’t understand how his words could have provoked such a strong response from Agusi.

Could this reaction be related not to me, but to the White Tiger Immortal Core?

The thought flashed by, yet his hands remained steady.

After all, regardless of the reason, Su Chengyu had a reason to confront the man before him.

A human using the power of the White Tiger Immortal Core is definitely abnormal; this is not something that can be accomplished simply by three people working together, much less that the guy probably wasn’t even aware when he took the initiative to seal the consciousness of the White Tiger Immortal Core.

Moreover, there are still no clues about where Hu Xiao is, whether he is dead or alive. Su Chengyu needed a definitive answer from this guy.

With a leap, Su Chengyu pursued, slicing down at the White Tiger Giant’s back with his Dragon Slayer Sword.

Feeling the threat from behind, the White Tiger Giant suddenly stopped, and with a backhand, caught the razor-sharp Dragon Slayer Sword!

Hum!

The sword’s resonance surged!

The Dragon Slayer, caught bare-handed, was instantly locked down by Agusi, a situation Su Chengyu hadn’t anticipated. From their previous exchanges, this guy shouldn’t have had such abilities or techniques.

But before Su Chengyu could adapt, the White Tiger Giant let out a low growl and flung Su Chengyu, along with his sword, away.

This move wasn’t enough to harm Su Chengyu, but he knew that if he let the distance increase and this guy disappeared into the fog, finding him again would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

“Wasteland!”

The Immortal Weapon Wasteland Sky Battle Spear was once again hurled by Su Chengyu, and even though it was outside his body, it consciously targeted the back of the White Tiger Giant.

Although the coordination between the Wasteland Sky Battle Spear and himself wasn’t as good as with the Dragon Slayer Sword, it was nonetheless a genuine immortal artifact. Even in the advantageous position, the White Tiger Giant couldn’t catch the Wasteland Sky Battle Spear with his hands.

As long as he stopped to block it, Su Chengyu would have time to catch up and prevent this guy from escaping.

However, Su Chengyu did not expect the White Tiger Giant, as if aware of this, not only didn’t try to catch the Wasteland Sky Battle Spear like before with the Dragon Slayer Sword, but he didn’t even have the intention to stop.

This guy isn’t …

An ominous premonition arose, and in his haste, Su Chengyu could only pin his hopes on the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core nearby.

Poof!

The long halberd pierced through the skin, and golden blood splattered. Yet the White Tiger Giant showed no signs of stopping, desperately fleeing while reaching behind and wrenching the Wasteland Sky Battle Spear from within his body, throwing it back towards Su Chengyu.

Boom!

As the Wasteland Sky Battle Spear hurtled towards him, Su Chengyu took a step back to dispel the powerful impact.

“Sorry, this guy’s strength is strange, and in this fog, I couldn’t hold it inside him by force,”

explained the Artifact Spirit from the Wasteland Sky Battle Spear, to which Su Chengyu shook his head and calmly replied.

“Don’t worry, I’m not blaming you. It’s that this guy’s combat instincts are too keen. Likely, this is the influence of the White Tiger Immortal Core, something unexpected for us.”

“So what’s the plan now?”

The Wasteland Sky Battle Spear inquired, but Su Chengyu didn’t answer, instead turning to look at the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core that had been watching from the side.

“I’m asking you. Don’t tell me you haven’t found a way to communicate with the White Tiger Immortal Core after all this time.”

The Four Great Divine Beasts have unique means of communication, and while Su Chengyu couldn’t directly contact the White Tiger Immortal Core through Agusi, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core might be able to.

Su Chengyu had already lifted some prohibitions, granting permissions to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, hoping it could establish a connection with the White Tiger Immortal Core.

“It’s not that simple. That guy bizarrely borrowed Merit Power originally belonging to the White Tiger, which logically, an ordinary person shouldn’t be able to bear. Could it be Earth Immortal Techniques?”

“I didn’t expect you to figure it all out,”

Su Chengyu coldly interrupted the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core.

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core cut to the chase, “Don’t worry. Although I haven’t contacted him directly, I found an opening inside his body that undoubtedly leads to the White Tiger. However, that place is sealed tight, even with our exclusive communication means, direct contact isn’t possible.”

“So?”

“Thankfully, you managed to hide a trace of my breath within that immortal artifact. This direct contact allowed me to leave that breath inside his body. Although I can’t see through the white fog, I can lock onto the location of my breath within it.”

Su Chengyu exhaled deeply. Although the situation had changed, fortunately, the clues hadn’t completely vanished.

As long as Agusi’s location could be determined, the biggest threat, the white fog, could be resolved, though the final outcome remained uncertain.

“Give me the location, I need to act fast. If I delay further, I’m afraid this guy might really ascend to Earth Immortal?”

“What did you say?”

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core exclaimed in disbelief.

Su Chengyu coldly responded, “Did you not notice? The realm he displayed at the end was higher than at the beginning.”

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core hesitated for a moment, then incredulously said, “Could it be that he’s not just borrowing, but continuously absorbing and assimilating the White Tiger’s Merit Power?”

“Highly unlikely, yet consistent with Chang Li’s previous reports.”

At first, Hu Xiao didn’t regard the opponent seriously when they first encountered this guy.

At that time, Su Chengyu thought Hu Xiao was underestimating the enemy or the enemy was hiding their abilities.

But now it appears that the opponent’s power steadily rose during the battle with Hu Xiao, leading Chang Li to report back when he noticed something amiss.

“If so, then you really need to hurry, because once the Immortal Core is fully absorbed, it will truly disappear from this world.”

“I don’t need you to remind me,”

Su Chengyu replied coldly, immediately setting off in pursuit with the location provided to him.

After several sticks of incense had burned, Su Chengyu finally spotted a new scene amidst the dense fog.

Noticing the signs left by someone not long ago, Su Chengyu squinted and said.

“I guess this is the passage you mentioned.”
