Chapter 291: Crunchy and Chicken-Flavored
However, if only this formation exists, it wouldn't necessarily kill him.
After all, he possesses the talent of Primordial Unity, so even under the suppression of the formation, the Five Elements Sword Saint would be killed if he tried to possess the body.
The Five Elements Sword Saint seemed to know that he was just a remnant soul, and that there was a risk of being killed if he tried to possess someone else's body.
Therefore, in the deepest part of this demonic abyss, there is an eighth-order body cultivator puppet under his control waiting, holding a ninth-order supreme treasure, the Soul-Binding Lock.
Anyone who enters the deepest part of this demonic abyss, which is within the array's range, will be suppressed by the array.
In this situation, with the addition of an eighth-tier body cultivator puppet wielding the Soul-Binding Lock to launch a sneak attack and extract his soul, the Five Elements Sword Saint then takes over the position.
The entire process was carried out smoothly and efficiently.
No wonder the Heavenly Secrets Society warned him that there was a great crisis involved.
If he had been at the peak of the seventh rank, such a sneak attack would have meant he would have had a very slim chance of survival.
Even with his current strength at the second level of the eighth rank, encountering such an ambush would cause him a lot of trouble.
It must be said, the Five Elements Sword Saint is truly insidious.
Fortunately, he ultimately prevailed and successfully lured out the Five Elements Sword Saint to resolve the situation.
To render all of the enemy's arrangements in the deepest part of the Demon Abyss futile.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hanzhou stepped into the deepest part of the Demon Abyss.
After passing through the remnants of the "Five Elements Sealing Heaven Formation," which was powerful enough to suppress an eighth-tier expert, he finally stepped into the bottom of this demonic abyss that had been sealed for millions of years.
This is almost the lowest point in the entire Tianxuan Realm.
The demonic energy permeating the air had become so dense that it was almost liquefied.
Every wisp of demonic energy was like a living tentacle, frantically trying to burrow into Lin Hanzhou's pores and erode his body and soul.
If he hadn't possessed the divine skill [Primordial Unity], which specifically counters all other types of energy, any other eighth-tier Venerable would probably not have lasted even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before being overwhelmed by demonic energy and reduced to a monster that only knows how to kill.
"Tsk tsk, such a strong demonic aura."
Lin Hanzhou not only did not feel uncomfortable at all, but instead felt as comfortable as if he were back home, and took a deep breath.
With each breath he took, the terrifying demonic energy surrounding him, powerful enough to make even an eighth-tier expert avoid it, was swallowed up like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, transforming into the purest nourishment that surged into his body.
"No wonder this is the place where three ninth-tier Demon Emperors fell; the demonic aura here is truly overwhelming!"
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled slightly as his gaze pierced through the thick demonic mist and landed on the stone wall not far ahead.
There were three fist-sized hearts embedded there, their bodies displaying an eerie dark purple hue.
This is precisely the demonic heart of those three demon emperors!
Although they have been sealed and suppressed by the Five Elements Sword Saint for millions of years, they are still beating extremely slowly.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Each pulsation causes the surrounding space to tremble slightly and releases streams of extremely pure primordial demonic energy, maintaining the operation of the entire Primordial Demon Abyss.
"Is this the source of the demon race's power?"
Lin Hanzhou slowly approached, his eyes gleaming with a look of inquiry.
According to the Five Elements Sword Saint's memories, this thing called "Demon Heart" is the condensation of the essence of a demon, and is a hundred times more precious than a demon core!
It not only contains all the cultivation and insights of the demon in his/her lifetime, but the demon can also be resurrected through this heart.
If an ordinary cultivator dares to touch it, they will be instantly corrupted by the terrifying demonic thoughts contained within, parasitized by the demonic heart, and ultimately become a puppet controlled by the demonic heart, that is, a new "demon".
This is the fundamental reason why the demon race has endured and continues to grow stronger with each kill.
As long as the demonic heart remains, the demon race will never die!
As Lin Hanzhou looked at the three demonic hearts that exuded a deadly allure, an extremely bold, even insane, thought arose in his mind.
"Since this Demon Heart is a collection of the demon's energy, can my [Primordial Unity] also refine it?"
Once the idea came to him, it was like a seed that took root and sprouted wildly in his mind.
In the past, he might have had some reservations.
After all, the Demon Heart's corrupting power is too strong, and the blue-level [Primordial Unity] carries the risk of failure.
If things go wrong, then they'll really become a monster, neither human nor ghost.
But now, he possesses the golden talent [Primordial Unity], which grants him near-absolute control over energy.
In this situation, even if the Demon Heart truly has a problem, he can eliminate it.
With this in mind, Lin Hanzhou no longer hesitated.
With a casual wave of his hand, he manipulated the array's core, which he had already mastered, and unlocked part of the seal on one of the demonic hearts.
"Buzz—!"
As the seal loosened, the demonic heart seemed to sense the presence of fresh flesh and blood, and its beating frequency instantly increased.
A demonic thought filled with greed and desire, like an invisible tentacle, swept towards Lin Hanzhou.
"Well done!"
Lin Hanzhou sneered and advanced instead of retreating.
He reached out his right hand and grabbed the demonic heart that was struggling violently.
"boom--!!!"
The moment the two made contact, an incredibly terrifying demonic energy surged wildly into Lin Hanzhou's body along his arm, attempting to corrupt his meridians and erode his consciousness.
"Hehehe...Delicious human flesh and blood...are mine now!!"
A lingering demonic thought, filled with wickedness and ecstasy, exploded in Lin Hanzhou's mind!
That was the last obsession left behind by the original owner of this demonic heart—a ninth-order demon emperor from a million years ago.
However, it didn't have much time to be happy.
"It's yours?"
You're overthinking it.
Lin Hanzhou's indifferent voice, like a thunderous judgment, resounded in his mind.
The next moment, the golden [Primordial Unity] was activated!
"Buzz—!!!"
An incomparably domineering invisible force erupted from Lin Hanzhou's body.
The terrifying demonic energy that was originally raging wildly was instantly melted at a visible speed under the influence of this power, just like snow meeting the scorching sun.
"No!! What kind of power is this?!"
The demonic thought let out a terrified scream.
It sensed that this invisible force was analyzing its origin and devouring its laws.
"No! I am the immortal Demon Emperor! You couldn't possibly..."
"So noisy!"
With a thought, Lin Hanzhou unleashed a domineering force that instantly transformed into a gigantic maw, swallowing the remaining demonic thought whole.
"Crunchy and delicious, tastes like chicken."
As the demonic thoughts dissipated, the demonic heart that had been struggling violently completely lost its ability to resist.
It began to soften rapidly, transforming into streams of the purest purple energy, yet carrying some strange properties, which merged into Lin Hanzhou's body.
Lin Hanzhou closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the changes brought about by this new power.
His physical body began to undergo a subtle transformation under the nourishment of this energy.
Beneath her originally flawless skin, faint purple light appeared, but then disappeared.
His vitality became more vigorous than ever before at this moment.
Lin Hanzhou could sense that he could now contend with an eighth-level expert using only his physical strength.
