In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 326 Starting with a 100,000 Ancestor Mortgage!

Su Yuan estimated that the current temperature was at least 90 degrees Celsius, if not 100.

The ground temperature is even higher; water splashed on the stones will instantly evaporate with a crackling sound.

Under these circumstances, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Su Yuantang felt a little hot. No matter how strong the physique of the ancient human race was, it wouldn't be long before they would faint from the heat and go into shock.

He and Chen Nuoyi are currently playing the roles of tribal chiefs, so how can they get out of their current predicament?

The best solution would naturally be to throw 100,000 mortals directly into the Moon-Catching Pearl.

Although they will be affected by the evil energy, they should not have any problems in the short term.

However, this is clearly a violation of the rules and goes against the main theme of the entire assessment. Doing it will definitely result in a warning from Long Bai.

So... I can't exactly learn from Hou Yi and shoot down the suns, can I?

These nine golden crows all seem to be close to the Golden Core stage, so he won't have much of an advantage in a fight.

Just as Su Yuan was hesitating whether to go all out from the start, Chen Nuoyi spoke up:

“Su Yuan, in my opinion, these nine golden crows must be killed, otherwise the illusion would not have had these nine golden crows hovering above our heads as soon as we started the test.”

"As long as we can deal with these golden crows, their corpses will be our first pot of gold."

Su Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Take 100,000 mortals and find a place to take refuge for a while, so they don't get roasted to death. I'm going to meet these Golden Crows."

Chen Nuoyi was about to speak, expressing her desire to fight alongside Su Yuan.

But when she saw the black lotus mark appear between Su Yuan's brows and the phantom of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood protecting him, she ultimately swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She just hoped that Su Yuan would tone it down a bit later.

Almost half a year has passed since the military training began, and Su Yuan has officially learned the Boundless Dao Seed, which he can activate at will without having to exploit Qi Hanyue.

Then, Su Yuan summoned the old sword armor and merged it with himself.

After receiving layer upon layer of buffs, Su Yuan's momentum soared, making him almost the strongest creature in this illusionary world.

Then, Su Yuan, holding the Crimson Yuan Sword in his left hand and the Mysterious Strange Sword in his right, soared into the sky and charged towards the nine golden crows.

The nine golden crows were clearly highly intelligent. Upon seeing a demonic monster approaching them, they immediately bristled and spat out mouthfuls of true fire at the invading enemy.

However, this true fire, which should have burned through the earth, had no effect on the ancient sword armor forged from modern cultivation technology.

Su Yuan charged forward to the Golden Crows and was about to unleash his demonic technique, Beast Pointing.

Compared to killing the Golden Crows, enslaving the nine Golden Crows was clearly more to Su Yuan's liking.

However, to Su Yuan's surprise, the Demonic Art: Beast Finger failed to activate.

After a moment's thought, Su Yuan immediately realized that it wasn't that these Golden Crows were so strong that they were immune to the Demonic Art of the Beast, but rather that the True Fire of the Sun surrounding them was also a form of protection.

While the Ten Demon Fingers can be used without any restrictions, they all share a common flaw: they cannot be used on targets that are obscured.

This flaw was already evident in the previous Demonic Finger Technique, and the Demonic Finger Beast naturally inherited this flaw as well.

Therefore, if you want to enslave this nine-headed golden crow, you must first extinguish the true fire on its body.

So, what is the most effective counter to fire?

It is water, naturally.

Does Su Yuan possess any Taoist magic or supernatural powers related to the Way of Water?

To be honest, no.

However, after only a moment's hesitation, Su Yuan thought of a substitute. With a thought, the Calamity Moon Pearl instantly appeared like a blood moon above the heads of the nine golden crows.

Even when faced with nine suns, the brilliance of the blood moon was not dimmed in the slightest!
The golden crows immediately sensed a strong sense of crisis from the blood moon and unhesitatingly sprayed true fire at it.

But it's too late.

The next instant, an immeasurable amount of blood gushed out from the Moon-Catching Pearl, pouring down on the nine golden crows.

It was the water of the Blood Sea.

In a real battle, Su Yuan would definitely feel distressed by such losses in the face of the sea of ​​blood, but fortunately this is an illusion.

Although one enters in their true form, all the energy consumed will be replenished after leaving the illusion.

Therefore, Su Yuan can fight without any scruples.

The true fire of the sun and the water of the blood sea collided violently, and an extremely unpleasant burnt smell immediately filled the air.

Water and fire were locked in a stalemate for only a moment before the former completely overwhelmed the latter and fell upon the nine golden crows.

The sizzling sound was incessant, and their true fire was visibly fading away.

Logically speaking, although water overcomes fire, the Golden Crow is, after all, a righteous divine beast, and its solar fire can also suppress all evil. It should instead suppress the Netherworld Blood Sea.

But Su Yuan is an exception!
[Level 2 effect of the Deceitful Sword Physique: You can counter all evil-slaying techniques that are supposed to counter demonic arts.]

Relying on his Deceitful Sword Physique, the more he countered the Demonic Path, the more Su Yuan countered him.

Water overcomes fire, and evil overcomes good; under this double restraint, the nine golden crows will naturally be at a disadvantage!

However, even though the Netherworld Blood Sea had completely suppressed the Golden Crows, the latter's resistance was extremely tenacious.

Then, seeing that these nine brothers, facing the crisis, actually linked together and combined their strength, forming an extremely yang array with the nine suns, forcibly withstanding all the restraints.

These nine brothers, true to their reputation as the legendary escape masters who supposedly killed Kuafu by flying a kite, turned to run away as soon as they saw they couldn't defeat Su Yuan.

If they escape, the crisis for 100,000 mortals will be temporarily resolved.

But Su Yuan always believed in the principle of eradicating evil completely. If they were to escape, wouldn't they come back and harass them even more frantically in the future?

He doesn't want to become Kuafu 2.0.

Su Yuan thought for a moment, then took out a gold coin from the Moon-Covering Pearl; it was the Dragon Emperor Coin.

To ensure the Dragon Emperor's Coins function perfectly, a sufficient loan amount is essential.

However, after only a slight sensing, Su Yuan discovered that, seemingly to prevent cheating during the assessment, the Dragon Emperor Coin was not connected to Su Yuan's assets in the real world, but rather to his assets in the illusionary world.

That is, those 100,000 mortals.

The valuation of these 100,000 ordinary people is... quite considerable.

Su Yuan played with the Dragon Emperor Coin for a moment, then aimed at the nine golden crows.

Equivalent exchange! Activate!
Ten thousand ancestors, I offer you all as collateral, please lend me your power!

As Su Yuan shouted this in his heart, the Dragon Emperor Coin flashed with golden light, and an invisible force instantly connected to the nine golden crows.

The next instant, the special feathers on the bodies of the Golden Crow brothers, which could generate true solar fire, vanished into thin air.

The massive loss of feathers made the Nine Golden Crows feel like a plucked phoenix was no better than a chicken, making them look ugly.

The true fire of the sun on their bodies was instantly suppressed to its lowest level.

Blood poured down!
