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

Chapter 338 The Second Stage of the Blood-Corrupting Sword!

After the agreement was reached, the top twenty-three geniuses of the Federation entered the tower directly and quickly settled on the agreed-upon floors.

The remaining team members discussed among themselves the choice of which floor to choose.

Most of the school team members chose to go to the same floor as their team captain so that they could look out for each other.

For example, Qiu Tianze, Zhuo Lixin, and others went directly to the eighth floor.

However, at the same time, a large number of team members went to different floors, perhaps because they had a grudge against someone from another school, or perhaps to gain experience.

"Su Yuan, which floor should we choose?"

Zhu Tianqing walked up to Su Yuan and spoke concisely.

Su Yuan, with a serious expression, pointed towards the eighth floor of the tower:
"Which floor do you choose?"

Following the direction Su Yuan was pointing, the three members of the team were all taken aback.

"The eighth floor? It's full of people from the Demon-Slaying University, and Senior Guo is ranked second in the Federation. Do we really have a chance of winning?"

Chen Nuoyi asked, her brows furrowed.

Zhu Tianqing also said:
"If you want to win, the first floor offers the best chance."

Su Yuan shook his head and said:

"It's true that the first floor has the most people and the weakest high-end combat power, but I don't know much about them."

"Although there are many powerful individuals on the eighth floor, I have at least some knowledge of the three major Nascent Soul inheritances of the Evil Extermination University, which makes it easier for me to deal with them."

"Moreover... if we can win in the end, the battlefield environment created by everyone on the Zhuxie University team can be used by me."

"I can use the blood environment of the Blood-Corrupting Sword, the vibration environment of the Heavenly Shattering Star Sword, and the refining environment brought about by the Divine Body Sacrifice Technique."

"These battlefield environments will continuously enhance our strength like a snowball until we defeat Senior Guo Zhengyi."

After a pause, Su Yuan glanced at the three team members with their varying expressions and then said:
"Besides, if I really could become the gatekeeper, would I surrender without firing a single shot when facing Xuan Haoran?"

"If we accumulate enough strength early on, perhaps we can have an opportunity."

"A chance to defeat Xuan Haoran."

"Master, you're a bit crazy."

Zhu Tianqing stared intently at Su Yuan with her beautiful eyes and said seriously.

"Going crazy is the right thing to do. How can you be a demon if you're not crazy?"

Su Yuan smiled slightly and walked directly towards the tower, with Chen Nuoyi and the other two following immediately.

Before entering the tower, Su Yuan's only regret was that he had not found the last of the top five demonic geniuses in the world.

However, he guessed that the last person must be among the top ten school teams, but because he (or she) did not attract Su Yuan's attention, the system notification was not triggered.

Furthermore, since the demonic energy contained within a Foundation Establishment Demon Talent is not necessarily the most abundant, Taibai Yuxi was unable to put it to use.

It doesn't matter, we can just go find them one by one after the sword-testing tournament is over.

There is a teleportation array on the first floor of the nine-story tower, which can directly teleport you to any floor of the tower.

Once all members of the school team have been sent to the corresponding level, the teleportation array will close.

Before entering the tower, Su Yuan learned a new rule from the guide next to the teleportation array.

If a person surrenders or suffers a fatal wound while inside the tower, a teleportation ability will immediately appear and teleport them out of the tower.

This also means that unless there is a deadly threat inside, there will be no outside help.

Aside from the possibility of escaping death, it's no different from a real battlefield.

After Su Yuan selected the desired floor, the entire team was instantly transported to a new environment by the pull of spatial forces.

What came into view was a small world with mountains, water, lakes, and lush greenery.

Qi Hanyue looked around and said:

"The spiritual energy concentration inside the tower is almost the same as that of the Ten Immortal Cities, and the area of ​​a single floor is no smaller than that of Taihua City. I guess this high-grade magic treasure belongs to the Heavenly Lord of Guantian and has been temporarily borrowed by Xuan Haoran."

Zhu Tianqing said softly:

"I sensed the presence of many demonic beasts in this small world. I can tame them as soon as possible to aid in battle and base construction."

Su Yuan nodded slightly, and then said:
"Subduing the monsters is no problem, but we don't need to rush to build a base. Instead, we need to find the entrance to the ninth floor of the tower."

“Only by building a base camp at the entrance can Xuan Haoran be forced to come and attack. Any war facilities in other areas can be easily bypassed by him.”

The three nodded in unison, agreeing with this statement.

After determining their direction, Su Yuan's team headed towards the central area of ​​the eighth floor.

The eighth floor is the size of the entire Taihua City. It is indeed large, but for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it doesn't take much time to fly back and forth.

However, Su Yuan's team moved very slowly. They traversed the mountains and forests, subduing some demonic beasts with Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivation levels while cautiously observing their surroundings.

Soon, a sacred lake in the mountains appeared before the four of them.

"There is a peak Foundation Establishment stage demon beast in the lake. Should we subdue it?"

Zhu Tianqing glanced at the lake and immediately sensed the danger. She calmly inquired.

But before Su Yuan could answer, a rustling sound came from the jungle on the opposite shore of the lake.

The four immediately hid, and then a figure emerged from the jungle on the opposite bank.

He was a young man with a cold expression, wearing the badge of the Exorcism Department, and with a cultivation level of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

Su Yuan quickly recognized the other party's identity. This was a third-year senior named Tu Kun, who had mastered the second stage of the Demon Extermination System's Divine Transformation inheritance.

"Should we get a refund?" Chen Nuoyi asked Su Yuan, casting a questioning glance at him.

Su Yuan shook his head.

He has no intention of backing down in this battle.

If one cannot even handle Tu Kun, becoming the gatekeeper is nothing but a pipe dream.

"Noyi, you go in this battle, you must win beautifully."

Su Yuan said in a low voice.

Chen Nuoyi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and nodded.

To be honest, she was indeed eager to try.

The students in the second-year seed class could no longer satisfy her; only the third-year seniors who had mastered the second stage of the Divine Transformation Inheritance could arouse her interest.

Tu Kun can obviously be used as one of the practice targets.

The first battle of the Dragon Emperor's true form will also begin here.

Tu Kun observed the spirit lake before him for a moment, then nodded in satisfaction:

"This place can serve as my base camp. After I set it up, although I don't expect to beat seniors Guo, Jiang, and Lü, I do have a chance to fight against the other senior team members."

With that, Tu Kun stretched his hand directly into the Spirit Lake.

The next second, a crimson hue quickly turned the clear spirit lake red.

An extremely evil demonic aura emanated from the blood-red color, polluting the surrounding environment.

But the crimson color had only spread to one-fifth of the Spirit Lake when a huge figure rose from the bottom of the lake, letting out a terrifying roar!
That was a dragon, a dragon with a snow-white body, a single horn on its head, and two fleshy growths on its abdomen, showing faint signs of transforming into a dragon!
The dragon was clearly unhappy with Tu Kun's encroachment on its territory, and its vertical pupils stared intently at Tu Kun.

"Oh? There's another little monster? What a coincidence."

Tu Kun smiled slightly, like a hunter who had spotted his prey. Far from being afraid, he was even showing a hint of greed.

The crimson color spread across the lake at an accelerated pace, reaching the snow dragon in the blink of an eye and staining its scales.

In the next instant, the crimson liquid seemed to come alive, suddenly transforming into countless fine, hair-like crimson tentacles that burrowed into the gaps in the snow dragon's scales.

In the blink of an eye, crimson had already climbed onto part of the snow dragon's body.

The latter, in pain, struggled to twist its body and try to retreat, but more and more blood-red tentacles had already surrounded it.

A powerful dragon at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage was on the verge of being defeated in a single move.

But just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the opposite bank of the lake, attracting Tu Kun's attention.

Tu Kun looked closely, recognized the other person's identity, and then put on a friendly smile:

"Isn't this Junior Sister Chen, who was taken as a personal disciple by True Monarch Wuluo? What a coincidence."

"I happen to be about to catch a snow dragon. If you like it, I can give it to you."

Chen Nuoyi shook her head:
"No need for Senior Tu to trouble yourself. I will pick up what I want myself."

Before she finished speaking, the girl lightly stepped onto the top of the snow dragon's head.

As a dragon, Xuejiao immediately showed a submissive look in its eyes after merely sensing Chen Nuoyi's aura as a dragon emperor.

Tu Kun's smile gradually faded, replaced by a solemn expression:
"Is Chen, my junior, challenging me?"

Chen Nuoyi said calmly:

"Challenge? I think that word is inappropriate. I was just using Senior Tu as practice."

"So I hope that Senior Tu can persevere a little longer, or rather... I hope that the second stage of the Demon Extermination Nascent Soul inheritance can last a little longer."

After saying that, Chen Nuoyi ignored Tu Kun's reaction and gently stepped on the snow dragon.

The snow dragon immediately spat out a beam of cold light that distorted the air, shooting towards Tu Kun.

"A freshman wants to challenge me, a junior? I'm really being underestimated."

Tu Kun snorted coldly.

However, facing the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment Peak Flood Dragon, he did not underestimate it and also exerted his full strength.

"Transformation into a Mysterious Light!"

Tu Kun raised his hand, which had been submerged in the lake, his palm facing the cold, icy light that was coming towards him.

The next second, the cold light collided with Tu Kun's palm, and a bizarre scene unfolded.

The icy light that should have frozen everything instead rapidly transformed into a patch of scarlet flesh from the area touched by Tu Kun's palm.

In the blink of an eye, the snow-white pillar of light transformed into a constantly pulsating pillar of flesh and blood, which fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Su Yuan, who was watching the show from a distance, was immediately taken aback.

Is the second stage of the Demon-Slaying Divine Transformation Inheritance called the Transformation of Corruption and Mysterious Light?
The Blood-Corrupting Sword Qi can cut anything as if it were flesh and blood, while the Corrupting Mystic Light goes a step further, directly transforming all things into flesh and blood.
Considering the scene where Xuejiao was almost controlled by the blood-red tentacles, does the Corrupting Mystic Light also have the power to directly corrupt flesh and blood creatures?

"Wow...that's incredible!"

Su Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh:
"After mastering the Transformation of Corruption Profound Light, wouldn't that mean I can produce a sea of ​​blood myself without having to buy flesh and blood from slaughterhouses?"

"This...this will save me so much cost!"

Immediately, Su Yuan made up his mind that he would learn this divine skill no matter what.

For example, Chen Nuoyi could capture Tu Kun, and then the Human Elixir technique could be used to directly extract the Transformation Profound Light.

He believed his deputy could do this for him.
