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

Chapter 339 Su Yuan! Is this the world you wanted?
"Junior Sister Chen, you'd better be careful not to get hit by my Corruption-Transforming Mystic Light."

"The feeling of losing yourself after being corrupted is not pleasant."

Tu Kun chuckled, a crimson light flashing in his palm as he aimed at Chen Nuoyi atop the snow dragon.

The blue-haired, golden-eyed girl had a cool expression and said calmly:
"The Transformation Profound Light truly lives up to its reputation as the second stage of the Divine Transformation inheritance; there seems to be no effective way to defend against it at the same level."

"It's a pity that such a powerful inheritance is in the hands of someone with insufficient strength, which lowers the upper limit of the Transformation Profound Light."

Tu Kun frowned:
"What do you mean?"

"That means I don't need to worry about how to break the Corruption-Transforming Mystic Light; I just need to defeat its master directly."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she casually raised her delicate pink fist, and the dragon's might on her body seemed to transform into heavenly might, soaring straight into the sky.

The countless dragon talents contained within the Dragon Emperor's true form were instantly activated.

The divine dragon's spiritual root, the dragon's power, the dragon's body, the dragon's blood, the dragon's bones, the dragon's heart...

With each burst of talent that amplified her physical body and strength, the girl rapidly reached the theoretical limit of the Foundation Establishment stage in terms of her physical abilities.

Then, he threw a punch.

The vibrational power contained within the Shattered Star Sword Seed was pushed to its limit by this punch.

The girl's fist clearly hit the air, but everyone present clearly heard a crisp sound.

The force of the vibration spread throughout a space of hundreds of meters, causing ripples to spread across the space, including Tu Kun.

Before the latter could react, his body immediately underwent a violent deformation accompanied by spatial ripples.

click-

Another crisp sound rang out, this time coming from Tu Kun.

With just a punch from a distance, the Great Three Prodigy, whose cultivation was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, suffered numerous fractures and displacements in his bones and internal organs.

Even after the residual force of the punch dissipated, the shockwave contained within it took root in Tu Kun's body, continuously and powerfully damaging his body.

However, Chen Nuoyi acted with great restraint, keeping Tu Kun severely injured but not to the point of being automatically teleported away.

The girl gently stepped on the snow dragon again, and the dragon slithered forward, picked up Tu Kun in its mouth, and swam towards Su Yuan's location.

Su Yuan emerged from the bushes at the opportune moment and arrived at Tu Kun, who was hanging on the snow dragon's teeth and stunned by the shock.

He first tore a piece of his sleeve from Tu Kun, rolled it up, and stuffed it into the other man's mouth to prevent him from admitting defeat, then said with a smile:
"Senior Tu, thank you for this wonderful performance."

"Your Transformation Light is really amazing. May I borrow it?"

Tu Kun: "Waaaaah..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes. Thank you for your generosity, Senior Tu."

Su Yuan smiled and reached out his hand, placing it on Tu Kun's face under Tu Kun's terrified gaze.

Demonic Art - Spirit Finger - Human Elixir, activate!
The spiritual power containing the power to transform decay was extracted from Tu Kun's body and condensed into a crystal-clear, blood-red human pill.

Tu Kun's aura visibly weakened.

[Corruption-Repairing Mystic Light Pill: A spiritual pill containing the inheritance of the Corruption Demon Lord—the Corruption-Repairing Mystic Light. It can only be consumed after condensing the Corruption Sword Seed. After consumption, one will gain the Corruption-Repairing Mystic Light, which lasts for 24 hours.]

[Transformation Light: After the Corruption Sword Seed advances, it can transform spiritual power into Transformation Light. This divine ability can transform all things into flesh and blood.]

[When venturing into areas contaminated by the Corrupting Light, one will suffer from the corrosive power. Initial contamination will cause continuous blood loss, and complete contamination will turn one into part of the corrupting fungal carpet.]

After reading the introduction about the Transformation Mystic Light, Su Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Judging from the description, this is a range-type supernatural power. As long as there is enough spiritual energy, one can continuously transform the surrounding environment into a putrid carpet, with oneself as the center.

The larger the scale of the decomposing fungal mat, the stronger the amplification effect on the user.

In addition, this divine ability already possesses formidable offensive power, making it worthy of the second stage of the Nascent Soul inheritance.

Such powerful supernatural abilities could not be satisfied with just one human pill; he needed more.

Unfortunately, judging from Tu Kun's condition, if he were to have his human core extracted again, he might be teleported away directly.

Su Yuan thought about it seriously for a moment, then looked at Zhu Tianqing behind him:

"Holy Maiden, I remember you have a technique called Spirit Slave, right? Could you temporarily enslave Senior Tu?"

Zhu Tianqing hesitated for a moment before slowly saying:

"It's possible, but Su Yuan, won't doing this upset the senior students?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Kun immediately began to struggle desperately and started to whine loudly.

But Su Yuan said seriously:

"How could you think of me in such a dirty way? I asked you to enslave Senior Tu, and it was definitely not for my own selfish gain."

"I just saw that Senior Tu was seriously injured, so I gave him anesthesia to help with his treatment."

"If we leave this unchecked, won't Senior Tu be eliminated right after entering the tower? How can he, a dignified elite senior in his third year, be allowed to exit so hastily?"

Tu Kun: "..."

If I hadn't been given a dose of human pills once, I almost would have believed it.

Your real purpose in treating me is definitely to raise me like a pig, extracting the power of the Transformation Light over and over again!
I refuse to accept this! I protest! There's something wrong with the rules of this sword-testing tournament. Why must we verbally admit defeat to be teleported out? What are we, the kidnapped ones, supposed to do?
Unfortunately, no one could hear Tu Kun's inner cries.

However, even if they heard it, no one would change the rules.

So what if you were captured?
How many cultivators have been captured on the battlefield, unable to commit suicide or escape?

Experiencing what it's like to be captured early on will make it easier to adapt to the battlefield.

Therefore, on Su Yuan's advice, Zhu Tianqing activated the Slave Spirit against Tu Kun.

Although Su Yuan himself possesses hypnotic sword energy, it is, after all, a skill developed during the Qi Refining stage, and is somewhat outdated.

To hypnotize Tu Kun, who is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, one still needs to rely on the golden talent 'Slave Spirit'.

Once the latter was completely enslaved and freed from his restraints, Tu Kun immediately and obediently began to recover from his injuries and restore his cultivation. During this time, Tu Kun paid for all his own expenses, which was quite worry-free.

In just one hour, Tu Kun's injuries were almost completely healed, and his already minimal cultivation level was fully restored.

Su Yuan immediately took another Corrosion-Removing Mystic Light Pill from the other party and decided to continue taking two pills a day.

This might drain Tu Kun dry, but it won't damage his very essence.

With a sufficient supply of human pills, Su Yuan was not stingy and directly consumed a Transformation Mystic Light Pill.

The Seed of Corruption also underwent an evolution, transforming from a seed into a blood-red flower bud.

The inside of the flower bud can be used to transform and store the mystical light of transformation.

While converting the Xuan light, Su Yuan held the Great Desire Immortal Puppet to restore his spiritual power, thus achieving a certain balance between consumption and recovery.

Then, a large amount of corrupting light surged out from under Su Yuan's feet, and with the land beneath Su Yuan's feet as the center, a large amount of land transformed into a fungal carpet forged from flesh and blood.

The tender green grass on the ground transformed into tentacles, and the branches of the trees twisted and turned, transforming from plants into animals, becoming bloodthirsty trees rooted in the fungal carpet, yearning for blood.

The spirit lake, which was the dwelling place of the snow dragon, was completely transformed into a pool of blood.

Fortunately, Xuejiao had already been subdued by Chen Nuoyi, thus preventing him from becoming one of the corrupted beings.

"I can feel it now, I can feel the mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"Relying on these flesh and blood fungal carpets, it seems that I can directly activate the Boundless Dao Seed and obtain a continuous source of power."

Standing on the decaying fungal carpet, Su Yuan stretched out his hands with satisfaction, gently inhaling the putrid and decadent scent, feeling utterly content.

Chen Nuoyi, Qi Hanyue, and Zhu Tianqing rubbed their arms as they watched this scene, feeling a chill run down their spines.

If it weren't for the fact that their skin wasn't already flawless due to their status as Foundation Establishment cultivators, they would definitely get goosebumps.

"What do you mean? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Noticing the strange expressions on the three people's faces out of the corner of his eye, Su Yuan immediately showed his displeasure:
"The Corruption Creep is the orthodox tradition of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect. I was just using this technique normally."

"Even without me, Tu Kun, Guo Zhengyi, and other students from the Exorcism Department, the environment of green mountains and clear waters would still be ruined like this. Why are you all acting as if I did something wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Qi Hanyue said:
"For Tu and the others, enough decomposing fungal carpet is enough; at most, a thousand square meters is sufficient."

“But Su Yuan, you are different… You are planning to transform the entire eighth level into a paradise of flesh and blood to fulfill the conditions for activating the Boundless Dao Seed.”

"Otherwise, why would you start building the decaying fungus carpet from here? It's still dozens of kilometers away from the entrance to the ninth floor."

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes, his tone taking on a sinister hue:
"Xiao Qi, you seem to know a little too much."

"Caw! Su Yuan is going to kill me to silence me! Nuoyi, save me!"

Qi Hanyue was so frightened that she darted behind Chen Nuoyi and began to tremble.

Chen Nuoyi said with some helplessness:

"Su Yuan, don't scare her. Besides, Han Ya is just saying it. We actually support what you're doing."

"If we don't lay down a large enough flesh and blood fungus carpet, how can we compete with Senior Guo and the others who have mastered the complete Nascent Soul inheritance, and how can we face Xuan Haoran?"

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"Of course I was just joking."

"But getting back to the main topic, having only the Transformation Profound Light is not enough. Before facing Senior Guo and the other two, I plan to gather the second stage of the Heavenly Shattering Star Sword and the second stage of the Divine Body Sacrifice Technique."

"Once I master the second stage of the three Nascent Soul inheritances, I may be able to gain the strength to rival the complete Nascent Soul inheritances."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nuoyi and Zhu Tianqing immediately became serious.

The group continued toward the entrance to the ninth floor. With each step forward, the ground beneath Su Yuan's feet was corrupted into a carpet of flesh and bacteria.

Feeling sorry for the surrounding monsters, Zhu Tianqing subdued them all before Su Yuan could make a move.

And so, one person corrupted the environment, another subdued living beings, and the territory of the four-person team continued to expand.

From God's perspective, this circular world, with a diameter of one hundred kilometers, has a blood-red spot appearing in a small area near its edge.

The spot, resembling a drop of blood on white paper, was extremely conspicuous and continued to spread outwards.

It seems that it won't be long before it devours the entire seventh or eighth floor of the world!

After walking slowly for more than two hours, Su Yuan's team finally met the second member of the school team.
