Chapter 768 - 341: Another Encounter with the Soul Ridge Successor
In the dark valley.
Threads of fire mist mixed with strands of demonic thought power, flowing slowly in the air.
In the artificially excavated cave.
Xu Guang sat quietly on his knees at the front, his expression calm and indifferent, as strands of demonic thought power emerged from his body.
His entire face was shrouded in a gloomy black mist, like a demon about to fall into the abyss.
"The power of demonic thoughts is affecting me. By using the profession of a forsaken one, I can control this power, but it has some influence on myself."
Xu Guang could feel some subtle forces within the demonic thought coral affecting him.
His heart was already filled with hostility, and under the influence of demonic thoughts, he occasionally felt an urge to kill everything.
Thinking back now, it should be that he was influenced by demonic thoughts.
This feeling became particularly noticeable after the demonic thought coral grew again.
"Previously, the intensity of demonic thoughts was comparable to Martial Arts Cultivation, and with the power of the Extreme Soul, I could resist the erosion of demonic thoughts, but now..."
But in this Fire Domain full of dangers, if he could enhance himself, Xu Guang wouldn’t give up.
By staying in this valley for a while longer, the intensity of demonic thoughts might have a chance to catch up with the likes of Yu Qing and others.
As for Lingxiao and the Chu Monarch...
Xu Guang thought it better not to dwell on it, as the power of demonic thoughts lacked a mature system, and he didn’t have the energy to perfect it.
As for someone like Lingxiao, the heir of an Emperor’s power, the foundation behind it was unimaginable. Xu Guang suspected that if she went all out, even someone like Murong Zhen, a Semi-Saint, would struggle against her.
Also, the power of demonic thoughts wasn’t as overwhelmingly powerful as ordinary people imagined.
Its essence seemed to erode the divine soul, and it couldn’t have a significant effect on those who specialized in divine soul power.
General Wei’s long nose slightly protruded, sweeping over Xu Guang, carrying a Spirit Fruit exuding a chilling aura.
This was something found on Gui Luo, a Fourth Grade Spirit Fruit, not considered rare.
"You eat it."
Xu Guang said with a smile.
"Help me as a Dharma Protector while I stabilize the demonic thought coral."
General Wei nodded, then stood silently in front of Xu Guang.
Xu Guang looked within himself, and the demonic thought coral slowly appeared, residing on the divine soul. Its size was already quite large, far surpassing the physical form of Xu Guang’s own divine soul, but fortunately, with the power of the Extreme Soul, the demonic thought coral didn’t riot.
However, there were strange fluctuations continuously emanating from its purple-black branches, with patterns resembling dragon scales appearing on them.
As if a living creature, it continuously stirred with Xu Guang’s breathing.
Unknowingly, the restless demonic thought on the coral gradually calmed down.
Xu Guang opened his eyes, and General Wei let out a surprised low growl at him.
In his eyes, there were slight changes, as if countless black dots appeared, like the compound eyes of an insect.
He didn’t mind; he used the power of the Extreme Soul to forcefully separate the power on the demonic thought coral to reduce its impact on himself, which was just an external manifestation.
At this moment, with every breath, his whole body’s Qi Force, Source Qi, and demonic thoughts were constantly in a peculiar state of balance under the command of the Extreme Soul’s power.
Sensing the situation inside his body, Xu Guang suddenly had a strange feeling.
"Once I get the inheritance of the Refining Pattern Master, and elevate both the Martial Artist and Qi Refiner to the second tier and the fifth realm, if I were to find a way to balance and convert the three forces, is there a chance to confront a Saint directly?"
In the following days, he hunted peculiar soldier souls in the valley every day, then returned to his self-excavated cave for refinement.
Six full days passed.
Just when Xu Guang was planning to leave, General Wei suddenly stopped him.
Xu Guang turned around and, through the demonic thought fire mist in the valley, saw a man clad in black standing outside the valley.
His pupils constricted.
Was it the black-clad man from the Southern Domain Soul Ridge?
Was he here looking for him, or did he specifically come to this valley?
Xu Guang squinted his eyes, instinctively licking his lips, with a trace of hostility in his eyes.
He had never been one to swallow his anger. After the enormous consumption in killing Gui Luo, he didn’t want to entangle with this man, but now...
...
The black-clad man stood at the front of the valley, taking out a bronze compass from his bosom. The point displayed on it coincided with his location.
"So, this is the place."
A ripple appeared on his calm face, carrying a hint of excitement.
He had traveled from the Southern Domain to the Eastern Domain just for the Fire Domain in the Purple Moon Cave.
Unexpectedly, without personally going to the Purple Moon Cave, he could enter the Fire Domain here in Penglai East Continent.
Then he thought of the purpose of those who came to this place, a smirk appeared in his eyes.
"Would someone like Han Cuo leave behind an inheritance secret realm? The secret realm hasn’t opened yet. When it truly opens, could you survive?"
In his era, Han Cuo represented endless slaughter, one who achieved the Dao through slaughter and wouldn’t care about the inheritance of orthodoxy.
The so-called secret realm was definitely a conspiracy.
However, there was indeed an inheritance in this Fire Domain.
After all, a senior from his line in the Soul Ridge back then once fell in the Fire Domain and stole part of the Refining Pattern Master’s inheritance, although it was later lost.
The compass in his hand pointed to the place of inheritance.
With these thoughts in his heart, Chen Yue was about to move forward.
The scorched earth under his feet suddenly exploded!
"Boom——!!!"
