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

Chapter 402 Su Yuan Forms Core! (4.2K views, please subscribe!)

As soon as he finished speaking, Blood Soul True Monarch forcibly suppressed the influence of the Crown of Corruption on him and raised his palm toward Su Yuan.

A mass of black mud, brimming with the scent of corruption and depravity, gushed from his palm and hurtled toward Su Yuangai.

In an instant, the black mud completely enveloped Su Yuan.

He wanted to use this lump of black mud, which could corrode everything, to completely corrupt Su Yuan, turning him into a slave at his mercy.

In this way, he might be able to learn from Su Yuan how to control the crown of corruption.

However, Blood Soul True Monarch's attack encountered a problem once again.

The black mud covering Su Yuan vanished in an instant, having been completely swallowed by him.

This is Su Yuan, who has cultivated a complete corrupt divine kingdom, suppressing the incomplete version of the corrupt demon lord's legacy.

Normally, due to the difference in cultivation level and realm, Su Yuan would never be able to digest the black mud created by a Nascent Soul True Monarch. However, with the blessing of the Crown of Corruption, Su Yuan can easily devour the black mud.

This was also due to the influence of 1,000 points of luck. If it weren't for the influence of luck, Blood Soul True Monarch might have used other methods to deal with Su Yuan.

Even if the other party were to slap Su Yuan without any fancy moves, it would be enough to easily destroy Su Yuan.

Luck is truly a wondrous thing.

Blood Soul True Monarch's mistake once again gave Su Yuan a chance to catch his breath, allowing the effects of the Crown of Corruption to be activated further.

More than ten Golden Core cultivators from the Blood God Cult were completely drained by the blood sacrifice ritual, their essence and cultivation power all transformed into resources for Su Yuan to become stronger.

Peak of Foundation Establishment Level 8, Foundation Establishment Level 9, Peak of Foundation Establishment Level 9...

Within the dantian, as one golden apple after another merged into the Senluo spiritual root, a pure black apple gradually took shape.

This mutated golden apple contains destructive power within, and even at birth, it exudes an extremely ominous aura, seemingly intolerable to heaven and earth.

Fortunately, the current cultivation world has been broken into numerous worlds of varying sizes, and the Heavenly Dao is incomplete and no longer exists.

If it were the ancient cultivation world with a complete Heavenly Dao, it would probably have already unleashed a tribulation lightning bolt, shattering the contents of this black apple into dust.

"Old Blood Soul Deng, is that all you've got? You couldn't even kill me in two moves!"

Su Yuan's body slowly floated in mid-air, like a new king about to ascend the throne.

At this moment, the only target locked by the Crown of Corruption was Blood Soul True Monarch, which put him under unprecedented pressure. His essence and cultivation were uncontrollably released and surging towards Su Yuan.

"Boy! Aren't you really afraid of being burst apart by my power!"

Blood Soul True Monarch suppressed his anger and coldly uttered a sarcastic remark:
"Fine, I will not give you the chance to accept my essence and cultivation, nor will I give you any opportunity to exploit any loopholes."

After two failures, this powerful Nascent Soul cultivator realized that his actions were being guided by some unseen force.

That is the mysterious and profound power of destiny.

At his level, even if he couldn't mobilize or influence the power of fortune, he could still perceive changes in fortune to some extent.

The reason Su Yuan was able to dodge my two attacks was clearly because my first two attacks had a chance of being dodged. However, with an absolute advantage in luck, any tiny probability will become a reality.

The solution to this problem is simple: just make the probability of the kid dodging zero.

"Freeze the space!"

Blood Soul True Monarch unleashed his full power, freezing the space in the area where Su Yuan was located with the absolute might of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

He manipulated this space, constantly shrinking it and compressing Su Yuan's entire body, causing his body to compress along with the space until he died.

As Su Yuan's body began to twist inch by inch, Blood Soul True Monarch's expression softened slightly. He thought to himself that Su Yuan was just a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator and should not have any spatial abilities.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

"A night raid is sure to succeed."

Su Yuan's figure vanished from his original spot in an instant, appearing a hundred meters away behind a comatose woman who was being sacrificed.

Although the sky was clear and blue, theoretically the Night Raid, which can only be activated in the shadows, could not be used. However, this dazzling talent had an additional clause.

[When the target is unconscious, resting, in seclusion, sleeping, or completely naked, this supernatural power can be activated directly, regardless of day or night.]

Therefore, these unconscious civilians everywhere could be used as targets for a successful night raid.

"Old Blood Soul Deng, what makes you have the illusion that you are not affected by fate?"

"I've staked a third of the Yuan Sect's luck on this, and you can't just avoid it like that."

Su Yuan chuckled and waved his hand, summoning the Calamity Moon Space, which directly absorbed all 500,000 people around him into the Calamity Moon Pearl.

Although these people will sink into the black mud and be corroded after entering the Moon Calamity Space, this corrosion is reversible. They can be released after they are out of danger.

While the Moonfall Space was taking in the people, a red-faced, white-boned puppet jumped out of the Moonfall Pearl, wearing a Federation-made communication headset on its ear.

As soon as it appeared in the outside world, the communication headset directly established contact with the communication headset held by Chen Nuoyi.

This advanced communication method, capable of penetrating the Heavenly Law World and directly connecting to the Guan Law Ship, is something even the Blood Soul True Monarch cannot stop.

He could only sense that Su Yuan had established contact with the outside world using some form of communication.

This made Blood Soul True Monarch realize that something was wrong, and he guessed that Su Yuan might have some kind of way to escape.

We have to stop this kid.

However, given that Su Yuan had the ability to teleport behind others, Blood Soul True Monarch did not attack Su Yuan immediately. Instead, he looked at Mortis beside him, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

But in the next instant, Mortis's figure vanished into thin air before his eyes.

They were summoned away by some advanced summoning technique!
"Damn..."

Blood Soul True Monarch suppressed his anger and looked at Su Yuan again. At this moment, only he and Su Yuan remained on the entire Holy Island.

It is certain that Su Yuan cannot escape his own attacks by teleporting behind others, but he could be teleported away at any time by that strange summoning method.

"Fortunately...fortunately, Su Yuan wasn't the first one to be teleported away, otherwise the Crown of Corruption would really have been lost."

"His biggest mistake was sending Mortis away first out of kindness, leaving himself here."

Blood Soul True Monarch was overjoyed.

He could clearly sense that after Su Yuan dodged his three attacks, his luck was less than one-tenth of what it was initially, and he no longer had the ability to avoid his killing moves.

With the next move, Su Yuan will surely die!

But at that moment, Su Yuan spoke up:

"Old Blood Soul Deng, are you glad I didn't teleport away immediately, giving you the chance to kill me? Heh, if you really think that, then you're sorely mistaken."

"I'm not teleporting away not because I don't have time to leave, but because the blood sacrifice ritual isn't completely over yet."

As they spoke, the essence and cultivation of Blood Soul True Monarch surged into Su Yuan's body.

The immense power contained within caused Su Yuan's body to swell to a size larger, seemingly on the verge of exploding and dying from the unbearable power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

But Su Yuan remained calm and said indifferently:
"I don't care what kind of killer move you make next." "Because I will take your next move head-on with absolute strength, so... please begin your performance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yuan flipped his hand, and a ball of spiritual energy, condensed to its extreme and extremely pure, appeared in his hand.

—That was the excess, undigested spiritual energy he had after breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment through a blood sacrifice ritual.

The total amount of this spiritual energy is comparable to the combined cultivation of more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators.

And this is one of the two main materials used to create the Divine-Forged External Elixir.

As for the other main material?

It is naturally a magic weapon at the Nascent Soul stage.

The divine creation, created by the divine, is precisely the use of the treasure of the divine transformation, and only the treasure of the divine transformation, as material to create an unparalleled external elixir.

However, due to the near-indestructible nature of the Divine Transformation Treasure, it cannot be permanently transformed into part of the external elixir; it can be separated.

Therefore, Su Yuan was not worried that the crown of corruption would be consumed.

With a thought, the Crown of Corruption on Su Yuan's head flew up on its own and entered the ball of spiritual energy in Su Yuan's palm.

In an instant, a golden pill, gold and red in color, exuding a metallic texture and full of demonic power, appeared in Su Yuan's hand.

The divine creation of the external elixir is complete.

At this moment, Su Yuan really wanted to say, "Once I swallow this golden pill, my fate will no longer be in the hands of heaven."

But time was too tight and he didn't have a chance to speak. He hurriedly swallowed the 'corruption pill' without caring about his image.

At that very moment, Blood Soul True Monarch's attack arrived.

With the blood sacrifice ritual over, he was finally free to move around.

In order to avoid all the influence of fate, he stopped attacking from a distance and instead attacked Su Yuan in his real body.

The fist, brimming with boundless rage, slammed heavily into Su Yuan's body in an instant.

Su Yuan, who was suspended in mid-air, was blasted into the ground like a cannonball.

boom--

Under the furious blow of the Nascent Soul True Monarch, the Holy Island, no smaller than a city, was shattered into pieces, revealing the flesh and skeleton inside.

Clearly, this island, which can sink, move, and float at any time, was originally a huge whale-like monster that was simply transformed into a giant island.

This whale-like monster was at least at the peak of the Golden Core stage in its previous life, yet it was still shattered by a single punch. One can imagine how terrifying the power of Blood Soul True Monarch's punch was.

Even after the Holy Island was shattered, the force of that punch was not over.

A huge hole was blasted into the sea beneath Santorini, and towering waves surged up from the surrounding calm surface, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded underwater.

The seawater, surging into the sky, fell like a torrential downpour, drenching the Blood Soul True Monarch, who was standing in mid-air, from head to toe.

His former elegance and composure were gone; his black hair danced wildly in the storm, and the anger in his eyes erupted like a volcano.

He raised his fist, staring at the traces of blood remaining on it, absolutely certain that his punch had truly landed on Su Yuan, enough to blast the kid into dust.

"No one can take away my crown of corruption."

He murmured to himself, his divine eyes looking down, trying to find the lost Crown of Corruption.

In the final moments before Su Yuan's demise, he saw Su Yuan integrate the Crown of Corruption into a cluster of spiritual energy to refine it into an external core. However, he believed that the Crown of Corruption, being a Nascent Soul treasure, would not be damaged and would return to its original state after Su Yuan's death.

However, after searching around, even with the Blood Soul True Monarch's Nascent Soul level perception ability, he was still unable to detect the whereabouts of the Crown of Corruption.

This made him frown, and a guess that he couldn't believe welled up in his mind.

Could it be... that Su Yuan isn't dead?
Thinking of this, Blood Soul True Monarch suddenly realized that the trace of blood belonging to Su Yuan on his fist had detached itself from his fist and was rushing towards the hole in the sea that had been blasted out by his fist.

Using the eyesight of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he followed the trail of blood.

Then, from the hollow of the sea, countless pieces of flesh and blood gathered together from all directions and instantly reformed into a naked young man with a blood-red pearl wrapped around his wrist.

"Old Deng, your punch was powerful... but it still lacked something."

This young man was naturally Su Yuan. He looked up at the Blood Soul True Monarch, whose face was twitching slightly, and smiled as he spoke.

Blood Soul True Monarch remained silent for a moment.

He roughly guessed why Su Yuan hadn't died from his angry punch.

This kid refined the Crown of Corruption into an outer elixir, and after swallowing it, he directly gained all of the Crown of Corruption's abilities.

For example... the regeneration of flesh and blood, and immortality.

"Just who is Su Yuan? This method of refining external pills that can directly fuse with the treasures of the Nascent Soul stage is probably something even the offspring of the Nascent Soul stage might not be able to master."

"Could it be that he has a powerful force behind him that is beyond my imagination?"

Such a thought involuntarily popped into the mind of Blood Soul True Monarch.

This wasn't because he was overly cautious or suspicious, but because Su Yuan's strength and methods were simply too terrifying.

Easily evading the head-locking attacks of Nascent Soul cultivators, manipulating Qi, teleporting through space, unblockable communication, unstoppable summoning, divinely crafted external elixirs...

None of these methods are something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can master.

Let alone the fact that Su Yuanming's public identity is just a rogue cultivator, even if he were the son of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he shouldn't possess so many abilities.

"I have always been worried that the Crown of Corruption would be targeted by some beings above the Nascent Soul stage, so I have always been very cautious in my actions... but I never expected that I still couldn't protect this treasure."

"Moreover, when they took this treasure, those hidden beings didn't even need to take action themselves; they just sent a Foundation Establishment cultivator who left me helpless."

"Is the gap between me and the forces above the Nascent Soul stage really that big?"

Thinking of all this, Blood Soul True Monarch felt his hands and feet turn icy cold, as if a pair of invisible hands were tightly gripping his throat, making it hard for him to breathe.

Let alone the fact that he couldn't stop Su Yuan from being teleported away, even if he could, he wouldn't dare to.

He was worried that after killing the younger one, the next one to arrive on the battlefield would be a powerful being at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or even stronger.

"Old Deng, thank you for your and your Blood God Cult colleagues' help. Goodbye."

Su Yuan waved to Blood Soul True Monarch and took out another pair of communication headsets to put on.

The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the cabin of the Yaksha.

Before him stood Qin Jin, a Golden Core stage pirate who had been manipulated into activating the Holy Church's Blood Sacrifice Array.

"I am back."

Su Yuan looked at the blue-haired girl waiting quietly outside the formation and said with a smile.
