The Death Soul Beast seemed to sense something.
It rolled around in Su Chenxiao's palm before shooting out like a white arrow!
Being an eerie creature by nature, it feared none of the effects of this ominous qi!
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The Death Soul Beast plunged into one cultivator after another like a gluttonous Taotie, devouring their contaminated Divine Souls.
Su Chenxiao looked at the shadow behind Xuan Aotian in the distance.
Chi Ming · Enslaved Spirit of the Black Ancient Scripture
Once an evil cultivator of the Kan Ming Dao Domain, he had stumbled upon the Black Ancient Scripture within the Heavenly Demon Cave. Corroded by its evil qi and stripped of his fleshly body, his Divine Soul had attached itself to the Black Ancient Scripture.
So that was how it was...
Rather than calling that shadow the artifact spirit of the Black Ancient Scripture,
it was more fitting to call it a slave that carried out the Black Ancient Scripture's will.
Su Chenxiao stretched lazily and slowly rose to his feet.
He walked straight to the edge of the golden barrier Elder Qing had created.
The black ominous qi outside battered against it relentlessly, trying to swallow its way inside.
Elder Qing's expression changed at once.
"Young Master! What are you doing?"
The Hidden Ancient Clans around them, their hearts pounding with fear, were also startled. One after another, they rushed forward to dissuade him.
"Young Master Su! You must not go out! Outside is filled with the eerie qi of the Dark Era. A gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall. Your body is worth more than gold; you absolutely cannot go out!"
At that moment, compared to their own clansmen outside,
they were more worried about this Imperial Clan Young Master, afraid he might suddenly decide to go out and experience it for himself.
Su Chenxiao remained calm. He directly reached his hand through the golden barrier and gave a light grasp.
"Snap."
A wisp of ominous qi, seemingly sentient and constantly struggling, appeared between his thumb and forefinger.
Like a spirit serpent.
Seeing this, the ancient clan elders behind him all widened their eyes, their expressions as though they had seen a ghost.
Fuck!
What was going on?!
Su Chenxiao looked at the wisp of ominous qi in his hand and chuckled.
"This ominous qi seems to possess intelligence. Interesting."
His fingers tightened slightly, and that wisp of ominous qi was pinched out of existence.
Of course, he would not possibly put himself in danger.
Before coming here, he had already asked the system, and its reply had been—
The Innate Chaos Divine Body could transform all things and merge all laws. Even if this ominous qi entered his body,
the Chaos Body would ultimately absorb it into oneness, treating everything equally...
Under the utterly horrified gazes of the crowd,
Su Chenxiao unhurriedly walked toward Xuan Aotian.
All around him were cultivators corroded by the ominous qi.
Yet a hazy white layer of Chaos Light shrouded Su Chenxiao's body, and the ominous qi could not erode him in the slightest.
The cultivators turned into eerie creatures pounced and bit at him one after another, their bodies radiating an incomparably dense aura of calamity.
Buzz.
The White Emperor Sword was raised.
One slash fell!
A peerlessly sharp sword radiance whistled forth.
The might of the imperial sword crushed everything in its path, instantly reducing those cultivators mutated into eerie creatures to dust!
"Boom!"
"Mm... they are somewhat stronger than they were in life." Su Chenxiao watched with great interest.
Not far away, when Qi Kong and the others saw Su Chenxiao appear,
their faces turned deathly pale. They stopped attacking and hurried toward him.
"Young Master Su?!"
"Why have you come here?! Leave quickly, this place has already been contaminated by that ominous qi!"
Yet when they sensed the ancient, mysterious Chaos Qi surrounding Su Chenxiao, their hearts jolted.
"This?!"
"Young Master Su, you are not afraid of this ominous qi?!"
Su Chenxiao smiled faintly, the White Emperor Sword in hand.
He looked toward Xuan Aotian in the distance, who even Saint Realm masters found troublesome, and said,
"Xuan Aotian."
"Your final reliance is the Divine Soul within this Dark Era ancient scripture?"
"It's you?!" Xuan Aotian's face instantly twisted with rage.
A terrifying killing intent poured forth as he practically ground out the words through clenched teeth.
"You still dare to appear before me?!"
It was this bastard who had taken his Immortal Slaughtering Sword and Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram in the arena!
Su Chenxiao laughed, shook his head, and spoke with a hint of regret.
"When your father was dying, he did not wish for you to become like this."
"Oh, right. I have your father's final words here. There are things your father wished to say to you. Don't you want to see them?"
As he spoke, Su Chenxiao took out the Imprint Stone and casually tossed it over.
Father?!
Xuan Aotian's pupils abruptly contracted, and his emotions wavered again.
But as though he had suddenly recalled something, his expression became incomparably savage, and he raised his hand to smash the Imprint Stone to pieces!
"Boom!"
"You think I, Xuan Aotian, still care about such things?!"
"What fucking family affection? I, Xuan Aotian, do not need that kind of thing!"
Su Chenxiao did not mind. Smiling, he took another Imprint Stone from the System Storage Space.
"It does not matter if you smashed it. I have another one."
Xuan Aotian's breath caught.
At this point, what he hated most was anyone mentioning his father!
"You fucking..." Xuan Aotian trembled from head to toe in rage, his eyes filled with resentment and killing intent. He roared furiously.
"Shut up! I want you dead!!"
"Chi Ming, give me power!"
The black shadow let out a strange laugh.
"Understood. With me here, you will not die."
This was precisely the moment it had been waiting for!
Since you have offered yourself up willingly, then this body of yours will belong to me, Chi Ming!
Boom.
The shadow almost merged with him completely.
The Black Ancient Scripture erupted with another terrifying aura.
Xuan Aotian's body began to undergo a horrifying transformation.
His body began to swell inch by inch.
Pulsating lumps of flesh grew across his arms and torso, making him seem as though he had become an eerie creature.
This time, even the triple-layered formation could not withstand this immense power and began to shatter and collapse inch by inch.
Qi Kong and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They had not expected this boy to still have strength left. Could the being within this Dark Era Black Ancient Scripture truly be so terrifying?
They had long noticed that the reason Xuan Aotian had been so fearless was entirely because he relied on the black shadow's power!
"Protect Young Master Su!"
"Young Master, be careful!"
Su Chenxiao sneered, completely unconcerned.
All of Xuan Aotian's power came from the Divine Soul within the Black Ancient Scripture.
But so long as it was a Divine Soul,
it was food for the Death Soul Beast!
As Xuan Aotian's aura continued to surge,
a white figure suddenly flashed.
Having already devoured several hundred Divine Souls, the Death Soul Beast locked onto the shadow behind Xuan Aotian.
The black shadow gradually merging into Xuan Aotian's body seemed to sense something.
It looked at the white furball on its shoulder.
In an instant, it was gripped by unparalleled terror.
"This is... a Death Soul Beast?!"
"No! No, how could this thing possibly still exist..."
"Xuan Aotian, save me!"
The white furball did not care about any of that.
It directly opened its blood-filled maw packed with fangs, and a terrifying suction force immediately erupted from within!
The next moment.
"Slurp—"
"No!!!"
