A few miles away from the valley where Blood Demon Spider is located, there is a hidden cave covered by dense vines.
Lu Chen casually laid out a few simple warning talismans, and after confirming that there was no strong Great Demon demonic presence around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down cross-legged.
In the dark and dry cave, only a few broken rays of skylight cut by vines at the cave entrance barely illuminated the area.
Lu Chen's steady breathing sounded particularly clear in the silence.
With a thought in his mind, a fist-sized Demon Core, covered in blood and pulsing slightly like a heart, appeared in his palm.
It is the Underground Blood Demon Spider Demon Core that is at the pinnacle of the Meridian Opening level.
As soon as it appeared, a pure and majestic Demon Power spread out, causing the temperature of the entire cave to rise a few points out of thin air.
Inside Demon Core, there seemed to be tiny blood-colored arcs flashing continuously.
"Demon Core is at the peak of Meridian Opening realm. The Demon Power contained in it is extremely pure. If it is directly absorbed and refined, it will be enough to increase my internal strength by more than 10%." Lu Chen felt the scorching energy coming from the palm of his hand and thought to himself.
But he didn't do it immediately.
"Now... is not the time yet."
His eyes turned to his side.
There, lying quietly was the body of a man in black robe.
This was a relatively complete corpse that he took with him when he left the valley.
He did not rush to deal with the spoils, but stretched out his right hand and calmly pressed it on the black-robed man's Heavenly Spirit Cap.
A cold, stiff feeling came.
Lu Chen closed his eyes slightly, his mind sank into the sea of consciousness, and said silently, "Soul Devour!"
In an instant, the ancient furnace in his consciousness shook slightly, and an invisible suction force erupted from his palm.
[Absorbable target detected (Rebirth Hall Butler·Remnant Soul), do you want to activate Soul Devour?]
"Yes."
[Soul Devour succeeded, obtained Demon Devil Lifespan:95 years.]
[Demon Devil Lifespan:804 + 95 = 899 years]
The moment the cold system prompt sounded, a torrent of mixed, chaotic, resentful and crazy memories rushed into Lu Chen's mind like a flood that broke a bank!
"Dedicate yourself to the Holy Hall..."
"Myriad Souls Cave...Demon Emperor..."
"Array diagram...Yang Xiong...Wang Teng..."
"Kill... Kill all Demon Suppression Division's lackeys!"
Countless broken pictures, chaotic thoughts, and hysterical roars were churning crazily in his consciousness, trying to pollute his mind.
Lu Chen's brows wrinkled slightly, but his expression remained calm.
He is now in the Meridian Opening state, and the power of his soul is far from what he was in the Bone Forging state.
With a thought in his mind, the power of his soul turned into a large invisible net, accurately sifting through the chaotic memories.
Soon, all those useless distracting thoughts were abandoned, and the key pictures and information became crystal clear as if they were falling into pieces.
The first scene is in a dark underground stronghold.
Five men in black robes were saluting a strange hanging totem, with the leader holding an ancient animal skin scroll in his hand.
A hoarse voice came from the totem and gave the order.
Lu Chen instantly understood the true plan of their trip.
This five-person team entered Hundred Demon Cave not to hunt monsters and gain points. Their core goal was to use Underground Blood Demon Spider's natal Essence Blood as a special key to open a High Antiquity seal named Myriad Souls Cave deep in Hundred Demon Cave!
The second picture shows the hoarse voice explaining the origin of Myriad Souls Cave.
Lu Chen's heartbeat could not help but skip half a beat.
Inside Myriad Souls Cave, there is actually a ray of residual soul of High Antiquity Demon Emperor sealed!
The ultimate goal of the Rebirth Hall is to seize this extremely precious residual soul of Demon Emperor and use it to refine an extremely evil soul weapon!
Once successful, the magical weapon will have appalling power.
The third scene is also the most critical scene.
Before setting off, the leading man in black robe carefully put the ancient animal skin scroll, which was the formation diagram that opened Myriad Souls Cave, into his arms.
And now, with all five men in black robes dead, this crucial formation map has undoubtedly fallen into the hands of Yang Xiong and Wang Teng, who finally cleared the battlefield!
"That's it..."
Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes, a terrifying light flashed across his eyes, and the light in the cave seemed to be dimmed.
The entire situation instantly became clear in his mind.
The ultimate goal of the Rebirth Hall is the remaining soul of High Antiquity Demon Emperor in Myriad Souls Cave.
To open the Myriad Souls Cave seal, two keys are needed.
One is Underground Blood Demon Spider's natal Essence Blood. Now, this Demon Core, which contains the purest original power, is in his hands.
The other one is that special formation diagram. At this moment, it falls into the hands of Yang Xiong and Wang Teng.
Rebirth Hall, himself, Yang Xiong and Wang Teng, the three parties, because of these two key items, formed an extremely strange check and balance situation.
"High Antiquity Demon Emperor residual soul..." Lu Chen's breathing was slightly rapid.
The value of a treasure of this level is simply immeasurable.
Whether it is directly refined to strengthen the soul, or used to feed Deduction Furnace in the sea of consciousness, it will be a great creation!
This thing must not fall into the hands of the Rebirth Hall!
And for me, this may also be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
A bold plan quickly took shape in his mind - the mantis stalks the cicada, with the oriole behind!
What he has to do is not only to stop Rebirth Hall, but also to kill the remaining soul of Demon Emperor!
Just as he was making up his mind to stabilize his condition and fully recover from the last blow, the warning talisman he casually placed at the entrance of the cave suddenly lit up slightly, and there was an extremely slight energy fluctuation.
Someone is coming!
Lu Chen's eyes froze for an instant, and all the muscles in his body tensed up for a moment, but relaxed completely the next moment.
<Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art>The Dacheng realm was pushed to the extreme by him.
His entire breath, heartbeat, and even the sound of blood flow disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if he had turned into an inconspicuous rock in the cave, completely blending into the surrounding darkness.
His soul perception spread out like invisible tentacles.
Soon, two familiar and weak breaths appeared within his range of perception.
They were limping, their breathing was disordered, but they were tracking towards the cave where he was with a clear goal.
It's Yang Xiong and Wang Teng!
How could they find it here!
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of cold murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.
