CHAPTER 1885: CHAPTER 1886: THE ONSLAUGHT OF DEMONIC QI

In the Primordial Land, clusters of life spirit bodies were scattered everywhere.

Amidst the boundless transparency, three distinct figures were slowly advancing.

Yang Junmo, who had already explained the general situation of the other world to Hu Xiao, was evidently a bit bored.

So bored that he began in-depth research on the surrounding spiritual life, clearly trying to achieve something similar to what Su Chengyu had done.

After all, the transcendent breath was inherently rare in this world. If he could, like Su Chengyu, directly absorb these life spirit bodies, it would be great news for him to stabilize his current realm.

Unfortunately, there was no progress at all even after half a day.

"Su Chengyu, still no clues? How long have you been searching?"

In the Primordial Land, there was no division between day and night; sunlight evenly spilled from the sky, illuminating all around as if there was no light source, or as if every place was a light source itself.

"There are life spirit bodies everywhere, and apart from that, there’s no other discovery."

Su Chengyu didn’t hide anything and directly stated their current predicament.

At this place, the restraint on Su Chengyu’s divine sense was more severe than in the mist, with the high pressure formed by the overly dense Heavenly Dao Breath in this place, which was already beyond what ordinary people could endure.

If ordinary people were to come here, finding clues would be extremely difficult, not to mention surviving.

"So, in this kind of hellish place, how did the person you mentioned get in?"

"Perhaps it was the ability of the White Tiger Immortal Core, or perhaps... someone was waiting here early on to meet him."

Su Chengyu had long thought about this issue and speculated two possible scenarios, but without any evidence, he couldn’t confirm which situation it was.

"So, are we still like headless flies?"

Yang Junmo looked ahead, evidently growing more impatient in his heart.

Su Chengyu glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "We’re already in the Hollow Void stage; how can you still be so impatient? In such a place, if we can ensure our safety, it can already be considered lucky. Rushing for success is not a good thing."

Yang Junmo raised an eyebrow and then looked at Su Chengyu with doubt.

"Su Chengyu, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before."

Su Chengyu chuckled and retorted, "Then what was I like before?"

Yang Junmo pondered for a moment, seemingly distressed and embarrassed.

"It’s hard to describe, just that before, you surely would have been more aggressive rather than like you are now..."

"Doing nothing, right?"

"Right!"

Yang Junmo affirmed and turned to look at Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu didn’t rush to respond, just raised his hand and pulled in another nearby life spirit body.

The golden Heavenly Dao Breath emerged from Su Chengyu’s hand like threads, then penetrated into the body of the spiritual life, quickly rendering the life spirit body completely mindless, ultimately turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing completely before everyone.

Seeing this, Yang Junmo immediately reacted: "Have you been absorbing these life spirit bodies all the way?"

"Yes, otherwise, how do you think I’ve kept this barrier protecting us all the way? Do you really think my mana is infinite?"

"No, no, no, that’s not the issue. I mean, if you keep doing this, won’t your realm..."

"It will slightly increase, that’s all. My situation right now is a bit unique. Although it was better the last time I saw you, simply absorbing the Heavenly Dao Breath cannot directly alleviate my condition, nor... allow me to approach the Earth Immortal Realm."

The conflicts among various Heavenly Dao Breaths cannot be completely resolved to allow Su Chengyu’s realm to take a significant step forward.

Of course, there can be some enhancement in combat power, but unable to take that final critical step for qualitative transformation.

Although Su Chengyu has yet to completely perfect his cultivation path, the traditional ten realms of the Void Realm held no significance for him anymore.

In terms of combat power, unless the opponent possesses an Immortal Artifact, or has control over the Heavenly Dao Breath far superior to his, Su Chengyu would not fall behind when facing opponents of the Hollow Void Late Stage.

"Then aren’t you doing useless work here?"

Su Chengyu chuckled and looked at Yang Junmo, asking in return, "This matter, since I’ve told you, of course, you know, but if I hadn’t told you, would you understand?"

Yang Junmo’s eyes shifted, quickly catching on to Su Chengyu’s meaning.

"You’re suggesting the less anxious we become, the more anxious they will be."

Su Chengyu didn’t speak, merely looking forward.

This is what Su Chengyu has been anticipating, though they’re in the open and the enemy is in the shadows, Su Chengyu is unsure how much the opponent has grasped about their side and how long they can endure.

He unreservedly absorbs these life spirit bodies, indeed trying to lure the opponent to reveal themselves, but if the other side genuinely continues to stay hidden, they’d be completely trapped in a stalemate.

Not conveying this bad news to Yang Junmo, Su Chengyu merely continues absorbing scattered spiritual life and conducting deeper research on these peculiar life forms.

Though they’re called life spirit bodies, strictly speaking, they cannot be considered true life.

More like puppets or machines programmed by someone, constituted by the Heavenly Dao Breath, they patrol indiscriminately nearby, collecting the Heaven and Earth Breath.

And since there’s collection, there must be a place where they’re converging.

Su Chengyu has been endeavoring to figure out where these life spirit bodies eventually relay themselves.

Unfortunately, although Su Chengyu has absorbed more than a dozen life spirit bodies, he can only sense that each life spirit body seems to have a line connecting to somewhere.

This line breaks when he fully absorbs the life spirit body, leaving him with no path to follow.

Looking at the life spirit body, which is about to be completely absorbed by him, Su Chengyu had a sudden idea of leaving it a breath and then releasing it to try.

Though doing so might likely get them noticed once again by the surrounding life spirit bodies, under such circumstances, Su Chengyu is still willing to take a risk to try.

Just as Su Chengyu was pondering this, suddenly Yang Junmo stood up from the tiger’s back.

Su Chengyu looked over puzzled, and at this moment, Yang Junmo’s expression was uncharacteristic, as he looked toward several directions and spoke.

"Someone is coming, approaching from several directions, surrounding us."

"Are you sure it’s people?"

Without noticing any anomalies, Su Chengyu asked in confusion, not to mention he hadn’t detected anything, and the odds of people appearing in this place were incredibly low.

"I’m sure. While escaping earlier, I left behind Daoism Method beacons all the way, and now all those beacons have been deliberately destroyed, and the methods..."

Yang Junmo paused, seemingly reconfirming, and then said.

"Very similar to the demonic method technique used in that each year’s demon-elimination conference."

Though still feeling incredible inside, Su Chengyu detected several strange auras locking onto them the next second.

Smiling bitterly, Su Chengyu reluctantly said, "You really can encounter these persistent troublemakers anywhere. It seems that the matters of Primordial Land are far from being as simple as we initially thought."
