Half a month later.
Qing Province City outside, Heaven-Severing Mountain Range deep.
Boom!
A giant ape that was ten feet tall and covered with long red hair fell down like a mountain.
The ground shook violently, stirring up dust all over the sky.
On its thick neck, a bone-deep wound was as smooth as a mirror, and the remaining dark golden Buddha essence intertwined with the scarlet demonic energy, frantically wiping out the last vitality in its body.
[Ding! Kill Earth Realm Eighth Level Crimson Demon Ape and get Slaughter Points+80000!]
The figure of Su Yu slowly fell from mid-air, with a calm complexion and even breathing.
He walked to Crimson Demon Ape's body, stretched out his right hand, and pressed it on the huge wound.
"Myriad Dharma Furnace, on."
Buzz!
A terrifying suction force came from the palm of the hand, and the majestic energy and blood essence in Crimson Demon Ape's body was instantly drained, turning into torrents of pure energy and pouring into Su Yu's body.
Within a moment, the huge ape corpse turned into a shriveled skin.
Feeling the warmth coming from his limbs, Su Yu brought up the system panel with a thought.
[Host: Su Yu]
[Revision: Body Refinement·Earth Realm Ninth Level; Qi Refinement·Earth Realm Ninth Level; Spirit Refinement·Earth Realm Third Layer]
[Exercise techniques: "Blood Baleful Intent Wisdom King Body" (Earth Realm·Excellent·Subtlety), "Yellow Springs Earth Vein Art" (Earth Realm·The best·Subtlety), "Azure Nether Purple-Gold Spirit Refinement Record" (Earth Realm·The best·Subtlety)...]
[Slaughter Points:380000]
Half a month ago, the Duke's Residence war ended, and he used the lingering charm and majestic energy of [Blood Wisdom King Manifestation] to push Body Refinement to Earth Realm Ninth Level in one fell swoop.
Qi Refinement's cultivation also successfully arrived at Earth Realm Ninth Level two days ago by constantly hunting these Earth Realm monsters and devouring their essence.
Now, at the Earth Realm level, he has reached the dual limits of his physical body and True Qi.
Only...Spirit Refining Realm world is motionless.
"It's you again."
Su Yu's consciousness sank into the sea of consciousness.
In the sea of purple and gold clouds constructed by "Azure Nether Purple-Gold Spirit Refinement Record", everything was calm.
But Su Yu knew that in the deepest part of this sea of clouds, there was an "uninvited guest".
It was an extremely tiny, pale golden dragon shadow that exuded supreme majesty.
Emperor Realm Dragon Intent!
The dragon spirit that the old dragon left behind in his sea of consciousness was like an unshakable lock of heaven and earth, suppressing his soul, making it impossible for him to move forward in "Azure Nether Purple-Gold Spirit Refinement Record".
Whenever he tries to attack Earth Realm Fourth Level's barrier, this dragon's will will release a trace of aura, and that absolute suppression from the life level will instantly disintegrate the power of his soul.
Su Yu took back his thoughts and his eyes became cold again.
He put away the panel and looked around.
For the past half month, he has been carrying out the secret order given by Wang Du before leaving - to search for and completely eliminate the escaped [Ancient Blood Demon Ancestor].
But the ancient demon was extremely cunning, and after the trace of its original bloodline escaped into the earth's veins, it completely lost its trace.
What's even more troublesome is that because of the suppression of Emperor Realm Dragon Intent, Su Yu dare not use all his strength to activate his consciousness to conduct a large-scale search, for fear of causing the thing to move abnormally and causing damage to his soul.
He could only use the most primitive method to trace the contaminated blood Sha Qi that remained in the earth veins, inch by inch.
"Roar!"
In the distance, another beast roar came, full of violence.
Su Yu did not stop. After taking out the demon pill of Crimson Demon Ape, his body swayed and turned into an afterimage, continuing to sweep towards the depths of the mountains.
A quarter of an hour later.
Su Yu's footsteps stopped by a deep pool.
There was a faint, disgusting fishy smell in the air.
His eyes fell on a mummy beside the pool.
It was a deer demon of considerable size, but at this moment, all the flesh and blood from its body seemed to have been drained out of thin air, leaving only a layer of dry fur tightly wrapping its skeleton. Its death state was completely different from those of the demon beasts that Su Yu had hunted before.
What's even weirder is that there is extreme fear remaining in its eyes, as if it saw some incomprehensible terrifying existence before it died.
Su Yu squatted down and picked up some dust on the ground.
Mixed in the dust was a faint, almost imperceptible smell of filth that was homologous to the Ancient Blood Demon Ancestor beneath the Duke's Residence.
[Found it.]
Su Yu stood up slowly, his eyes cold.
It seems that the old monster has begun to restore its own strength by devouring living creatures.
The moment he was about to follow this breath and continue tracking it.
An extremely fierce and emotionless murderous intent erupted from the dense forest behind him without any warning!
That murderous intention was pure and concise, like a poison-quenched steel needle, piercing Su Yu's back vitals!
[Shadow Guard of the Demon Suppression Bureau?]
Su Yu raised his eyebrows and didn't even look back.
He could even feel the slightest hesitation at the moment the opponent's attack locked onto him.
[It seems that they regard me as the murderer.]
Clang!
A short blade as thin as a cicada's wing, shining with a faint blue light, Soundless broke through the air without any breath, and appeared three inches in front of the back of Su Yu's neck.
However, it could no longer move forward.
Su Yu just raised his left hand casually, put his index and middle fingers together, and lightly clamped the deadly blade.
"Your Excellency, if you don't show your Demon Suppression Bureau waist card, you will kill me."
Su Yu slowly turned around, looking at the figure in front of him who was covered in black clothing and wearing a bronze mask without any patterns on his face, and the corners of his mouth raised a playful arc.
"Are you unable to distinguish between friend and foe, or... are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
Shadow Guard, who was wearing a bronze mask, suddenly stiffened.
His eyes hidden behind the mask were staring Dead Land at the short blade held between Su Yu's two fingers, filled with incredible shock.
This "Soul-Devouring Blade" is the Earth Realm high-grade magic weapon. It is quenched with a strange poison that specifically targets the soul. It seals the throat at the sight of blood.
He struck with anger, confident that even a strong Earth Realm Ninth Level would never be able to take it so easily!
But the young man in front of him, who looked to be in his early twenties, not only took it, but he didn't even use the body protection Gang Qi.
"You evil spirit, please don't..."
Shadow Guard's voice was hoarse and dry. He tried to withdraw the short blade, but found that the knife seemed to be suppressed by an invisible mountain and remained motionless.
"Evil?"
Su Yu smiled, but that smile made Shadow Guard feel an inexplicable heart palpitation.
"I think it's more like you."
The moment he finished speaking, Su Yu clamped his fingers on the blade and exerted force suddenly.
Click!
A crisp sound.
The top-grade Earth Realm "Soul-Devouring Blade" was actually broken by him with two fingers!
"You..."
Shadow Guard's pupils shrank suddenly and he subconsciously stepped back.
But it's too late.
Su Yu's figure came up to him like a ghost, a hand reached out like lightning, grabbed his neck directly, and lifted him up.
"Say it."
Su Yu's face was in front of the bronze mask, with a pair of eyes of different colors, the left eye was dark gold and the right eye was scarlet, as if he could see through the soul.
"Who sent you?"
