Chapter 463: Absorption and Fusion, Troubles from Within

"You didn't come to see me immediately after I came back this time. I thought you were taking this opportunity to go into seclusion." Su Heng said to Li Hongxiu in a joking tone.

His body was now almost naked.

However, the two of them were already very familiar with each other. Under Li Hongxiu's calm gaze, Su Heng did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he lay on his back on the edge of the magma lake, where there were stairs made of high-quality Yaoshi. Yaoshi not only had the effect of isolating demonic energy, but was also very hard and had a very high melting point, so it would not be melted by the magma inside.

Li Hongxiu was right opposite Su Heng at this time. She slowly sat down beside the lake, took off her boots, and soaked her white feet in the lake.

If it were by the willow-lined lake, the scene would surely be beautiful.

Picturesque.

But this is Changshengtian, the blood realm.

All you see is a strange dark red, and this style of painting looks very weird.

However, since Li Hongxiu is the embodiment of the will of the blood realm, this magma naturally cannot cause any harm to her.

Li Hongxiu came this time mainly to report work to Su Heng. "The blood world was formed after being influenced by the original blood river. This connection cannot be cut off. Therefore, the blood world is often attacked by some powerful monsters from the original blood river. These monsters will become nutrients for the blood world after death, so it has been delayed for a while."

"Lilith..." Li Hongxiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you checked her situation?"

"Yeah." Su Heng said, "I just met her."

Seeing the expression on Su Heng's face, Li Hongxiu seemed to be relieved. At this time, she smiled and said, "That child is very diligent in his practice. Many times when demons invaded, it was Lilith who took action to deal with them. Otherwise, even if they could win, once the battlefield spread, it would cause irreversible damage to the environment in the blood world."

The blood world was able to develop from a barren land to what Su Heng sees now in a short period of time.

It can be seen that Li Hongxiu put a lot of thought into it.

Su Heng also had a deep understanding and said, "Every step in Changshengtian is dangerous. Even becoming the will of the world is not necessarily an easy thing."

Li Hongxiu came here obviously with the intention of asking Lilith for mercy, but since the two had already met, there was no need to talk more about this matter.

However, after becoming the will of the world, some changes in Li Hongxiu surprised Su Heng.

When they first met, Su Heng had the impression that Li Hongxiu was taciturn and somewhat distant, but other than that, she was very talented in all aspects. But after gaining strength and transforming her life form, during this period of time, Li Hongxiu gradually developed a more tolerant and maternal radiance.

Su Heng smiled.

Tell Li Hongxiu some of the things that happened on Wanyuan Plain.

When talking about Ryan and Argus, Li Hongxiu showed a surprised expression on her face.

Although she is the will of the blood world, as Su Heng's number one henchman, Li Hongxiu's intelligence network radiates to every corner of the Zhou Dynasty.

In this world, some immortal clans may not take the current Emperor Zhou Yuan seriously, but they will definitely not give Su Heng face. Under such circumstances, Li Hongxiu did not collect any valid information related to the demon descendants. These two people just seemed to pop out of nowhere, which was obviously very wrong.

"Next, I will arrange some people to conduct a thorough investigation." Li Hongxiu frowned and said seriously.

"And Lilith." Su Heng seemed to have thought of something and reminded, "Based on the reaction on Lilith, I suspect some people may be looking for her whereabouts. These people are very dangerous. If you encounter anything unusual, notify me in time and don't try to be brave."

"clear."

Li Hongxiu smiled and nodded towards Su Heng.

"And this." Su Heng slapped his head and spread his hands. A dark green light rose up and slowly floated in front of Li Hongxiu.

Li Hongxiu reached out to take it and saw that what was hanging in front of her were two sharp mantis blades. These two mantis blades were the spoils that Su Heng obtained from Norosa. That guy almost chopped the Changsheng King into pieces, and his strength was not weak. Most of his strength was in these two mantis blades, but they were broken once by Su Heng before. Fortunately, with the Heart of the Swarm, it was not difficult to repair them.

"What is this?" Li Hongxiu looked at the two hideous-looking weapons, tilted her head, and had a confused look on her face.

"A gift for Lilith." Su Heng said with a smile, and at the same time took out the head of the fire demon and hung it on the dark rock wall next to him.

"Okay." Li Hongxiu was a responsible housekeeper. She put away the two weapons and nodded, "I will find a suitable opportunity to hand them over to Lilith."

She pulled her white feet out of the pool water and stood up to leave.

Su Heng suddenly said, "Is there anything you want? When I go out, maybe I can bring something back for you."

Li Hongxiu was stunned at first, then she pursed her lips and a gentle smile flashed across her face, "Master, the life I have now is enough, I don't ask for anything else."

Having said that...

Li Hongxiu folded her hands in front of her and bowed to Su Heng. Then she turned around and left the secret room.

Su Heng withdrew his gaze from the girl's slender back, his face calm. He took out the heart from the king insect. The giant meat ball with a diameter of more than ten meters was reduced to the size of an apple by the clever use of some space-related magical powers. Su Heng held it in his hand with two fingers, just like an ordinary person holding a strange pill.

Gudong!

Su Heng threw it upwards gently and swallowed it directly after opening his mouth.

As Su Heng practiced the Eight-Nine Profound Art to a higher level, his control over himself became more and more handy.

If he wanted to absorb the authority in the Heart of the Swarm, he didn't need to go through such a long detour like before. As the Heart of the Swarm fell into his stomach, the layer of flesh and blood wrapped around it was immediately decomposed, and the large amount of pure energy contained in it was absorbed by Su Heng's body, and the template information stored in it was also quickly read under Su Heng's strong mental power.

Rumble!
The blood in Su Heng's body was circulating at a high speed, and the sound it made was like thunder in the wilderness.

The magma rolled, black smoke filled the air, strong winds swept through, and a huge and grotesque shadow was cast on the wall not far away.

In the lava lake, Su Heng had recovered his original form. The prismatic crystal clusters protruding from his spine flashed with electric light and crackled, and his two molten gold pupils were filled with a torrent of energy.

Pfft!
A large amount of magma burst out like flowers.

Su Heng's body sank into the depths of the magma lake and began to enter a state of deep seclusion.

……

……

……

at the same time.

Zhongzhou, deep inside the majestic and magnificent imperial palace.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which has eighteen huge dragon-shaped pillars, on the throne at the end, compared to before, the complexion of Zhou Yuan Emperor Xuan Ce had obviously recovered a lot. The brutality on her face disappeared, and the bloodshot in her pupils also faded. Instead, there was a kind of pretended deep majesty.

He tried his best to hide his emotions, but his slightly furrowed brows betrayed his true thoughts.

boom!
He casually smashed a wine bottle next to him to the ground.

Ji Xuance could not hide his anger and said, "You said before that in exchange, you would help me enter that realm. But now, you broke your promise and appeared in front of me in such a disgraced state."

Ryan took off his hood and raised his head, but his handsome face was still hidden in the shadow.

A hint of disdain flashed across his emerald eyes. Whether it was Emperor Wu Ji Weihuang or the current Princess Ji Huaxi, they were both extraordinary people. Why did the same bloodline become a complete waste when it came to the former Third Prince? Could it be that this guy was picked up?

Ryan complained in his mind.

However, he hid his emotions very well and did not show any abnormality.

"What's happening to you is not what we expected." Ryan's eyes shone faintly. He paused for a moment on Ji Xuance and then realized the root of the problem.

The two of them were now in the same boat. He did not hide anything and told Ji Xuance the truth. "As the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, you are following the path of luck to prove your truth. If you want to transcend and enter the realm of realm master, you must gain the recognition of dragon energy. This dragon energy should have belonged to you, but unfortunately..."

"What a pity?" Ji Xuance's voice was low and his face looked grim.

"You took the wrong path before, wanting to use the corpse of the Mighty One of Destruction to achieve enlightenment. Not only did you fail, but the dragon energy in your body also dissipated. So even if I use secret methods to heal you now, without the dragon energy, it will be difficult for you to break free."

"That was originally mine!"

"Indeed." Ryan paced on the ground and said with a smile, "But now they have found a more suitable host, the eldest princess Ji Huaxi. Most of the dragon energy stays on her. Although you are the emperor in name, you actually lack power and dignity. Even those ministers who come to pay homage to you are just putting on an act in front of you."

"so what?"

"Your Majesty, isn't it clear in your mind?" Ryan said slowly, "Either you spend a long time in Changshengtian, refining a small world that suits you, and then take a huge risk to try to condense the Tao. And even if you succeed, you may not have one-third of the strength of the former Martial Emperor."

"Or just be more straightforward..."

Ryan stretched out his hand and gestured at his neck. His expression became cold and his voice was resounding. "Find a way to kill the princess directly. At that time, you will be the only heir, and the dragon energy will naturally gather on you again."

"Besides, the current princess is incredible." As the candlelight in the room flickered and cast shadows, Ryan's voice was bewitching, as if a devil was whispering in her ear, "Not only does she have dragon energy, she also contains and refines the remains of a phoenix, and even has the true blood bestowed by that monster."

"If you can take away her gift, maybe... you can even surpass your father."
