Capítulo 1869: Chapter 1870 Spiritual Life

Hu Xiao from his forehead exuded a drop of nearly black concentrated demon blood, Su Chengyu similarly forced out a drop of essence blood from his own body to merge with it.

At the moment when the two bloods fused, Su Chengyu simultaneously established a pact. After Hu Xiao’s demon Qi merged, the essence blood transformed into two marks and shot into their foreheads, subsequently falling into their Sea of Consciousness Spiritual Platform.

As long as the terms of the pact are not violated, this essence blood will not affect either of them.

However, once violated, it will retaliate against its host, though it will not be lethal.

At least at the moment of violation, the violator will suffer backlash from all their mana or demonic power within, losing all abilities to act temporarily, and it only has a one-time effect.

In terms of restraint, it is indeed not very strong, but it sufficiently meets Su Chengyu’s needs.

After the contract was concluded, Su Chengyu then turned his gaze back to the huge gate before him.

“Hu Xiao.”

After Su Chengyu spoke, he placed his palm directly on the gate, and Hu Xiao simultaneously channeled his demonic power into the door.

The blood within surged, rushing towards the gate, and Su Chengyu clearly sensed Hu Xiao’s demonic power, flowing along the markings on the gate, converging at a groove at the top of the gate.

Hu Xiao’s demonic power, once it entered the groove, was instantly completely absorbed, catching him off guard so much that he nearly severed the supply of his demon Qi.

Luckily, Su Chengyu reacted in time, forcibly maintaining the connection between demonic power and the groove, preventing the opening attempt from failing entirely.

At this point, Hu Xiao dared not hold back any longer, his entire body’s demonic power pouring into the gate without reservation.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of Hu Xiao’s demonic power had been absorbed, making him look up at the groove with a worried expression.

“Master, how much of my demonic power does this groove intend to absorb?”

“I don’t know.”

Su Chengyu’s cold reply chilled Hu Xiao’s heart halfway. Sensing Hu Xiao’s panic, Su Chengyu continued speaking.

“There’s no need to be so nervous. Even if it fails, you won’t die, at most suffer substantial primordial energy damage, which won’t even affect the fundamentals of your cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiao’s mind settled somewhat, but he still asked laboriously: “Master, you knew about this situation all along.”

Su Chengyu slightly raised his head to look at that groove, speaking softly: “Unless I’m mistaken, that place is where the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core was previously located. Now it has been taken by someone, naturally, someone must fill in.”

While observing the gate, Su Chengyu discovered that groove.

After inquiring with the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core, it became known that it was the place where the White Tiger Immortal Core true body was stored, which is why Hu Xiao’s power is indispensable.

He must replace the White Tiger Immortal Core, becoming the lock core of the gate, with Su Chengyu’s human blood as the key.

A simple and straightforward design.

Without human’s fresh blood, the gate cannot be opened, and the humans of this world, logically speaking, simply cannot come to such a place.

“No wonder, Master, you can’t take risks like the Little Fox…”

“I said it before, I didn’t know, that’s all. This thing indeed carries some risk, and I don’t wish to have Ali bear it, that’s all.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiao naturally dared not say anything further. After all, Su Chengyu’s strength is undoubtedly greater. Even if this were true, and he died denying it, Hu Xiao would have no means to deal with Su Chengyu.

At this moment, Hu Xiao’s biggest concern is whether he would be completely drained by the groove. If this be the case, even if the door were to open, he might not gain anything at all.

Amidst Hu Xiao’s wild thoughts, suddenly a sound came from the gate, as if something was detached from the inside, simultaneously halting the absorption of Hu Xiao’s demonic power and Su Chengyu’s essence blood.

“It’s over.”

Upon opening his mouth, Su Chengyu finally relaxed his hand, letting his arm hang on the ground, his face turning exceedingly pale.

“Master?”

Su Chengyu’s unusual state startled Hu Xiao, looking at the bloodless Su Chengyu, he asked.

“This gate absorbed your essence blood?”

Su Chengyu gave a bitter smile: “You think you’re the only one enduring risks?”

Hu Xiao’s face flushed with shame, at last he said nothing more.

However, he understood as well, since he wasn’t completely drained, Su Chengyu’s situation wasn’t as dire as it appeared, merely showing signs of weakness from excessive blood loss, not significantly affecting his strength.

“The door is open, let’s go in now.”

Su Chengyu spoke, and then slowly pushed the door open.

The mist that greeted them instantly swallowed the pair, pulling them into the gate at once.

As Su Chengyu and Hu Xiao’s figures vanished before the gate, the corridor was left once more with only the tightly closed gate and the surrounding corpses.

In less than a quarter of an hour following their disappearance, a massive shadow emerged hunched at the gate.

Looking at the opened gate before him, Agusi took a deep breath, pressing his palm against the gate, and then he too entered the mist…

The mist gradually dissipated, as Su Chengyu slowly regained control over his body, along with which came an immense gravity.

Su Chengyu looked down, seeing both he and Hu Xiao suspended in midair, plummeting towards the ground.

Beside him, Hu Xiao seemed a bit panicked, hurriedly attempting to stabilize his form using demonic power, yet even as a Demon Emperor, he was unable to float in this place.

“Master! Save me, Master!”

Hu Xiao cried out in fear, evidently having lost his composure completely.

Su Chengyu, still observing his surroundings, did not act immediately. Although the mist had vanished, what remained around them was incredibly dense Heavenly Dao Breath.

Though masterless, the Heavenly Dao Breath, upon reaching such density, still pressed down upon them as if manipulated by someone, this being the reason Hu Xiao couldn’t glide through the air smoothly.

“Wasteland!”

The Wasteland Battle Halberd flew out, wrapped in the domineering Breath of Destruction, firmly catching the forms of Su Chengyu and Hu Xiao, then began slowing descent towards the ground.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu sighed in relief, indeed as these Heavenly Dao Breaths were solidified to the point where they couldn’t travel through the air, the Breath of Destruction from the Wasteland Battle Halberd, being originally of the Fairy Monarch, could maintain themselves here unattuned.

“This Primordial Land is so peculiar?”

The Wasteland Battle Halberd, not without experience, instantaneously recognized the place as the Primordial Land and swiftly noted something unusual about it.

“What do you mean?”

Su Chengyu controlled the Wasteland Battle Halberd as they descended, questioning as he spoke.

“In an ordinary Primordial Land, forget about Earth Immortal, even those in the Hollow Vacuum Realm won’t face excessive influence, so I hadn’t previously paid much heed, but this place…”

“Hmm?”

“Here the strong Heavenly Dao Breath has solidified to the extent it could birth Spiritual Life. Such life forms possess an extremely strong territorial sense, attacking outsiders without discrimination.”

Upon the utterance of the Wasteland, Su Chengyu had already discovered something moving on the ground, smirking bitterly.

“Unluckily, it seems you were right.”
