Stepping onto the path to immortality, it all begins with buying the daughter of a disgraced officia

"What's the matter?"

Su Mu frowned and spoke, and seeing Tie Niu's anxious look, a hint of seriousness appeared on his face.

Tie Niu had been waiting at the village entrance for a long time. "Master! Su... Su Yang is in trouble!"

brush--

Upon hearing this...

Su Mu's expression changed abruptly, and he asked, "What happened?"

The two talked as they hurried home, fearing something might happen there.

"I don't know what happened either. A few hours ago, I went to your house to deliver something, and Su Yang went berserk and started biting me. If it weren't for Miss Chi Lian being there, you probably would never have seen me again, sir..."

Hearing this, Su Mu's expression grew even more solemn, and he pondered to himself, "Could it be because of the demon core?"

Su Yang had been in a deep sleep for the past few days, and this was the only reason he could think of for his sudden outburst. He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Not long after!

When the two arrived at the house, they saw Su Yang tied to a pillar, baring his teeth at Ye Qingyan and the others with a ferocious expression. Saliva dripped from his fangs and made a sizzling sound when it hit the ground.

For a moment, Su Mu frowned, his eyes particularly heavy, and slowly approached.

"Husband, be careful!"

Ye Qingyan immediately reminded him, fearing that Su Yang might be harmed, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Su Yang replied, and it quickly approached Su Yang, reaching out to touch its head, "Su Yang, I'm Daddy..."

Roar--

Who would have thought!

Su Yang roared and opened his mouth as if to tear Su Mu apart, but fortunately he reacted quickly, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Su Mu was extremely worried and didn't know how to solve the problem.

Just then, Chi Lian suddenly said, "Master, if I'm not mistaken, this is because its demonic power is too strong and cannot be suppressed, leading to a backlash of demonic power..."

To put it simply, it is currently engaged in a mental battle with the remnant soul within the demon core. If it fails, its consciousness will be completely devoured, turning it into a ferocious beast of slaughter!

Hearing this, Su Mu frowned deeply. "Do you have a solution?"

Chi Lian: "In this situation, external forces cannot intervene. Only someone with strong mental power can enter its sea of ​​consciousness, suppress the remnant soul of the other demon beast, and help it refine the demon core to resolve the current crisis..."

After hearing what Chi Lian said, Su Mu's eyes sharpened. He mobilized the power of his immortal bones, and light golden spiritual energy gathered in his palm, with a warm yet profound halo emanating from his fingertips.

"Chi Lian, Tie Niu, protect the two ladies. I will first use my spiritual power to stabilize the restless demonic energy within it before entering Su Yang's Sea of ​​Demonic Souls... Do not allow anyone to disturb us during this time!"

"yes!"

As he finished speaking, he placed his palm on Su Yang's crown from a distance, and his spiritual energy slowly seeped into his meridians.

Ye Qingyan clenched her sleeves, her pretty face pale, staring at Su Yang's ferocious face, her voice trembling as she tried to remain calm.

"Husband, be careful!"

Tie Niu stood to the side, clenching his fists and looking anxious. He said in a gruff voice, "Master, should I find a few more thick hemp ropes? Just so you don't get hurt!"

Su Mu did not turn around; his brows furrowed more and more, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The spiritual energy flowed through Su Yang's body, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Instead, it was countered by a violent demonic force, which made his arm slightly numb.

"It's no use! This demonic power is too ferocious; my spiritual power can't suppress it at all. On the contrary, it's fueling the remnant soul's arrogance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yang suddenly struggled, the ropes creaking as he clenched his teeth, and his eyes flashed with even more ferocity.

Chi Lianpan stood to the side, her beautiful eyes fixed on Su Yang, her tone grave:

"Master, we can't delay any longer. The remnant soul is gradually gaining the upper hand. If we drag this out any longer, its mind will be beyond saving."

Su Mu withdrew his palm, and the spiritual energy at his fingertips dissipated. It seemed that there was only one way left!

He looked at Chi Lian and the others, "You guard this place well. I am about to enter Su Yang's Soul Sea. Do not let anyone disturb me!"

Ye Qingyan's eyes reddened, but she did not stop Su Mu. Instead, she said with a worried expression, "Husband, you must come back safely."

"Don't worry, my wife, you haven't given me a healthy baby boy yet, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyan blushed. After a moment, Su Mu's eyes turned as cold as a deep pool: "Chi Lian, protect me!"

Chi Lian nodded: "Master, rest assured, I will protect you with my life."

Seeing this, Tie Niu immediately stood in front of the courtyard gate and said in a deep voice, "Master, rest assured, I'll guard this place, and no one will be able to get close!"

"I hope so!"

Su Mu took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and a faint white light appeared between his brows. His spiritual power, like an invisible thread, slowly reached towards Su Yang's brow and gradually penetrated into Su Yang's soul sea.

The moment you step inside, the pungent smell of blood hits you, and all around you is an endless expanse of crimson blood, with the surging waves carrying the aftershocks of violent demonic power.

Above the crimson sea of ​​souls floated fine black wisps, the malevolent energy emanating from the remnants of demonic beast souls, which caused a stinging pain to the mind upon contact.

Su Mu's golden spiritual body stood atop the wave, completely out of place in this terrifying, blood-red world.

In the distance, two blurry figures were locked in fierce combat. It was Su Yang's faint divine soul and the remnant soul of the demon beast. The surrounding crimson waves surged even more violently due to their battle, and the stench of blood carried a violent aura, closing in step by step.

Upon closer inspection, the remnant soul of the demonic beast was a white-browed tiger with piercing eyes. Its body was formed from dense blood mist, and its fangs gleamed with a chilling dark light. With a single swipe of its claws, it created a blood-red wave several meters high.

Su Yang's soul was not mature enough to begin with, and now it had been forced to the edge of the soul sea. The faint light around him was dim, and his whole body was covered in blood. Even raising his claws to block was difficult. It looked like the tiger-shaped remnant soul's claws were about to pierce through his soul.

Su Mu roared, "How dare you, you beast!"

The sound falls——

The golden spiritual body shot out like an arrow, its aura surging several times over, forcing the surrounding crimson waves back three feet.

Su Mu raised his hand and formed a golden fist imprint. The fist wind, carrying immense power, slammed fiercely into the back of the tiger-shaped remnant soul.

"Awooo—"

The tiger-shaped remnant soul roared in pain, its claw attacks abruptly halting. Its massive body was shaken and staggered backward, and the blood mist condensing from its form dissipated in some places.

"Awoo! (Daddy!)"

Upon seeing this, a glimmer of clarity flashed in Su Yang's eyes. His weakened soul quickly steadied itself, and taking advantage of the gap in Su Mu's restraint, he barely managed to gather a weak amount of demonic power.

The tiger-shaped remnant soul was thoroughly enraged. Its blood-red beast eyes locked onto Su Mu, and it opened its mouth to spew out a ball of pitch-black demonic fire. Wherever it passed, the blood-red soul sea boiled and bubbled, and the malevolent aura became increasingly intense.

Su Mu remained expressionless, conjuring a golden barrier at his fingertips. The demonic fire collided with the barrier and exploded instantly, scattering black sparks but failing to harm him in the slightest.

"Hmph! A mere remnant soul dares to act presumptuously before me! Slay him!"

Before Su Mu's angry shout had even finished, golden spiritual power surged around his body, gathering entirely in his palm and condensing into a golden longsword as smooth as glass. The sword's spine shimmered with a blue light, which was the sword technique of the Azure Origin Sword Art.

"Azure Mist Locks the Sky!"

He leaped into the air, and the instant his longsword was swung out, azure-gold sword energy swept in all directions, firmly imprisoning the crimson sea of ​​souls, and the black malevolent energy was directly vaporized into smoke by the sword energy.

Roar!

Seeing this, the tiger-shaped remnant soul tried to escape, but was firmly locked in by the light net formed by sword energy. It roared and swung its claws fiercely, but the claws only splashed up tiny sparks when they hit the light net.

Su Mu's eyes turned cold and sharp. He raised his sword again, and the golden longsword, carrying boundless sword intent, pierced straight at the brow of the remnant soul.

"roar--"

The tiger-shaped remnant soul let out a dying howl, its blood-mist body disintegrating inch by inch amidst the sword energy.

"Aww—"

Seizing the opportunity, Su Yang pounced forward with all his might and began to devour the tiger demon's remaining soul!

As for Su Mu, he stood guard to protect it. If the remnant soul made any unusual movements, he could annihilate it immediately!

The pale red remnant soul power entered his body, instantly transforming into a warm current that nourished Su Yang's weakened soul.

At first, it was somewhat sluggish, and the faint light around it flickered, as if it were playing a game with the power of the remnant soul.

Su Mu stood to the side, focused on protecting the Dharma, his palms condensing golden spiritual power, ready to guard against any counterattack from the remnant soul.

Not long after——

A faint crimson demonic light emanated from Su Yang's soul, intertwining and merging with the original dim light, making his previously dim aura even more condensed and profound.

It curled up in the center of the soul sea, and a layer of light cocoon gradually formed around its body, wrapping up all the remaining power of the demon soul and refining it steadily.

At this moment, the surrounding crimson waves gradually subsided, the black malevolent energy was completely evaporated by the cocoon of light, and the blood-red sea of ​​consciousness slowly faded from its crimson state, revealing a clear, pale golden halo, gradually returning to peace...
