The baby's face let out a sharp roar, and the entire black vortex suddenly surged, turning into dozens of dark tentacles, like a group of demons dancing wildly, towards Lu Chen's palm!
However, in front of Lu Chen's palm that was blessed by Perfection <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> and was strong enough to suppress mountains and seas, these tentacles condensed with residual resentment were as fragile as phantoms.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound.
All the tentacles, the moment they came into contact with his palm, were crushed and annihilated by the extremely thick Profound Black Internal Energy!
Lu Chen's palm, with overwhelming force, grabbed the violently pulsating blood-colored crystal core in the center of the vortex without any hindrance!
"No--!!!"
The baby's face let out a desperate roar, and the entire black vortex twisted and boiled violently, trying to break free from the shackles of Lu Chen.
But it's all in vain.
"Soul Devour."
Lu Chen spit out two cold words in his mouth, and the newly acquired characteristics suddenly activated!
A weak but overbearing suction force came out from his palm, like an invisible black hole, and began to crazily devour the most original soul power and memory contained in the crystal core!
"Ah--! Stop! You... what on earth are you... a monster..."
The roar on the baby's face gradually became fainter, full of fear and disbelief.
Countless chaotic, broken memory fragments filled with blood and killings, like a flood bursting from a dam, crazily poured into Lu Chen's mind!
The memory this time is far clearer and more complete than that of the previous Blood Demon Cult leader!
He saw a majestic figure wearing a blood-colored imperial robe and Flat Heaven Crown on his head, with a blurry face, sitting high on a throne made of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
He saw countless Blood Demon Cult disciples, kneeling on the ground fervently, shouting Blood Child's holy life is boundless.
He saw a blood sacrifice array that was huge enough to cover the entire Nanling Prefecture, and Anmin Ward's was just the most insignificant formation among them.
He also saw... a ferocious and familiar Ghost Face Mask!
The owner of Ghost Face Mask was kneeling respectfully in front of the blood-robed imperial shadow, and presented a Blood God Child that had just been condensed and emitted an evil red light!
In exchange, the blood-robed emperor gave Ghost Face Mask a roll of demonic energy... Cultivation Method!
"Blood Demon Cult...Ghost Face Mask... They are indeed colluding together!"
Lu Chen's heart sank to the bottom.
The forces involved behind this were far larger and more terrifying than he imagined!
"Click."
With a soft sound, the blood-colored crystal core in the palm completely lost all its light after being drained of its last trace of soul power, turning into an ordinary gray stone.
[The host kills Blood God Child (prototype) and gets Demon Devil Lifespan for fifty years!]
[Characteristic 'Soul Devour' is activated to absorb the fragments of the remaining soul and obtain some key information.]
[It is detected that the host has absorbed a large amount of pure soul power, and its mental power has been slightly improved.]
Lu Chen slowly let go of his hand and let the discarded stone fall to the ground.
He did not leave immediately but sat down cross-legged and began to quickly digest the complicated memory fragments in his mind, peeling off and organizing all the key information about "Blood God Child", "Blood Sacrifice Array" and "Ghost Face Mask" one by one.
An hour later, when he opened his eyes again, there was already a cold understanding in those deep eyes.
He finally understood.
The so-called Blood God Child is not an elixir at all, but a clone refined from Blood Demon Cult Secret Method that can carry part of the soul and power of Blood Child!
The real purpose of this blood sacrifice of Anmin Ward is not to refine any medicine at all, but to prepare a... container for the mysterious "Blood Child" that can descend to Nanling Prefecture!
And the purpose of the person who brought the news to the palace and challenged himself through Eunuch Sun is also obvious.
They don't care at all whether "Blood God Child" is true or false, all they want is an excuse to search themselves openly and explore their secrets!
"One trick kills two birds with one stone, killing someone with a borrowed knife."
Lu Chen's mouth slowly curved into a bone-chilling arc.
Kill someone with a borrowed knife?
Then let's see whose knife is sharper!
Who is going to be the one to borrow the knife?
Instead of erasing the Blood God Child aura that remained here, Lu Chen stood up and used himself as a guide to re-simulate and release the cold and evil aura that had just been absorbed by the [Soul Devour] characteristics but had not yet been fully digested.
After Soul Devour, you can not only get its memory, but also its charm.
As long as Lu Chen is willing, he can perfectly simulate the aura of the prototype of "Blood God Child", even more condensed and alluring than before!
He sat cross-legged and sat back in the pit, closed his eyes, and gathered away all vitality. The <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> in the state of perfection made his heartbeat and breathing drop to the point of being imperceptible, and his whole body was like a cold stone.
Only the simulated aura of Blood God Child is like a lighthouse in the darkness, faintly exuding, waiting for those who smell the smell.
Time passes by minute by second.
Outside the ruins, Zhao Da Niu held the handle of the knife tightly, his palms covered with cold sweat. He stared at the dark ruins that looked like the mouth of a giant beast, not daring to take a breath.
Within the ruins, Lu Chen's mind felt unprecedented tranquility.
He knew that the enemy would definitely come.
Ghost Face Mask Organization and Blood Demon Cult spent so much effort to set up this trap and frame themselves, with the ultimate goal of reasonably exploring their secrets.
But before that, they must ensure that the stolen goods actually exist in order to make Eunuch Sun's forced harem seem legitimate.
Therefore, someone will definitely come to recover this Blood God Child.
Three quarters of a hour.
The night is the deepest and the yin is the heaviest.
A black shadow that almost blended into the night, like a ghost, slipped silently into the ruins.
His Movement Method was extremely clever. It landed silently and didn't stir up any wind during his movements.
If Lu Chen's [Eye of Delusion Breaking] hadn't already enveloped the entire ruins, his presence would have been almost impossible to detect.
The shadow did not rush to go deeper, but lurked at the edge of the ruins for a full quarter of an hour, repeatedly confirming that there was no ambush around it.
In his hand, he held a strange-looking Bronze Compass. The compass pointer was trembling slightly, pointing in the direction of the center of the altar.
After confirming that it was safe, he swayed like a wisp of smoke, following the compass' guidance and sneaking towards the pit.
Getting closer.
One hundred steps... fifty steps... thirty steps...
Lu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the pit, could even smell a faint and unique smell of blood and herbs coming from his body.
Finally, the black shadow stopped at the edge of the pit.
He leaned down and looked at the "energy body" emitting faint red light and evil aura in the deep pit, with a flash of greed in his eyes.
Because the aura of this Blood God Child prototype is far more pure than what was described in the information.
The shadow did not take action immediately, but took out a completely black jade bottle from his arms, as if preparing to use some kind of Secret Method to take it away.
That's it now!
