Chapter 1080: You Think You Can Walk All Over Me?
I, Xue Gu, have waited for six hundred million years and paid such an enormous price. The closer I get to the final stage, the less I can afford any mistakes. Devil Emperor Xue Gu murmured to himself.
Six hundred million years ago, while exploring the Sector River, he had accidentally obtained the seed essence of the Flower of Sin.
The Flower of Sin was an ultimate treasure that grew in the Abyssal Sector River, but nurturing it from a seed essence into a true flower was incredibly difficult.
Devil Emperor Xue Gu was extremely cautious, fearing that the news would leak. He knew very well that once revealed, it would be nearly impossible for him to protect the Flower of Sin with his second-stage Overlord strength.
Therefore, he first collected various array materials, then moved his lair to the Blood Bone Mountain Range at the edge of the sector world.
Following that, he spent three hundred million years trading with various Devil Emperors to acquire the precious materials needed to set up the Blood Sacrifice Devil Array. It wasn't that he didn't want to move things along quickly, but he only dared to trade for a tiny portion of materials with each Devil Emperor, fearing it would arouse suspicion from others. And after each trade, he would wait for a long time before making the next one.
Once all preparations were complete, he spent nearly a hundred million years selecting suitable array operators among his subordinate Sovereigns, while also traversing the thirty-six sectors of the Abyss, carrying out massacres in secret. He annihilated at least a hundred million Abyssal worlds, collecting the blood essence from countless members of the Abyss Devil race.
With all preparations in place, he finally laid down the array and began cultivating the Flower of Sin. The cultivation process alone took nearly two hundred million years.
Nine is the limit, once the flower stem grows to nine meters tall, it will be time for the Flower of Sin to bloom. Devil Emperor Xue Gu thought to himself. Endless fresh blood, endless sin, yet what it nurtures is a Flower of Sin that is supremely holy.
Legend has it that the Flower of Sin is useful even for eternal lifeforms. Once I use it up, even if I can't achieve eternity, I should have a very good chance of creating an ultimate eternal technique and reaching the fourth stage of Devil Emperor. Devil Emperor Xue Gu's eyes were filled with anticipation. I must nurture it successfully.
Among the thousands of Devil Emperors in the entire Abyss, Devil Emperor Xue Gu was just a very ordinary one. If he could create an eternal ultimate technique and possess fourth-stage Devil Emperor combat power, he would stand at the absolute pinnacle of the entire Abyss.
