Chapter 338

"It's not the lower abdomen! Your Highness, it should be the dantian! I've seen it in cultivation novels."

"People in the cultivation world all store their power in the dantian."

Aether nodded slightly, confirming that the people of Khaenri'ah also had a dantian.

"It's getting hotter and hotter, Your Highness!"

The Iniquitous Baptist suddenly tensed up all over and curled up on the ground.

"So hot! No, so cold!"

"No... it hurts so much!"

"Your Highness! Save... save me..."

A warrior like the Iniquitous Baptist was now rolling around and wailing.

One could see what kind of pain he was enduring now.

Aether took a few steps back, and the others also hurriedly retreated.

"Is it hot or cold? Speak clearly!"

The Iniquitous Baptist hammered the ground fiercely; in an instant, the ground collapsed, and his abyssal magic power rioted, wreaking havoc in the Abyss.

But Aether quickly smoothed it out with pure light.

"Your Highness... it hurts too much..."

"It feels like... it feels like it's burning a hole through me..."

"Your Highness, save me!"

"Your Highness..."

The wails made the surrounding Abyss Mages shudder, and they subconsciously moved further away from the heart.

Aether said nothing, gazing at the Iniquitous Baptist with a calm expression.

The boiling magic power on the latter's body appeared from time to time, only to be eliminated by Aether.

Gradually, his body seemed to become somewhat transparent.

Aether hurriedly focused his eyes and saw that drop of golden blood spinning around in his lower abdomen.

Wisps of black energy were constantly being drawn in from the surroundings, only to be easily obliterated.

That energy looked somewhat familiar.

Until an Abyss Mage suddenly exclaimed.

"The immortality curse! That's the immortality curse! Is the immortality curse being eliminated?"

Suddenly, the entire Abyss boiled over.

Countless Abyss Mages had forgotten their fear and rushed up in a swarm, staring intently at the rolling Iniquitous Baptist.

"Damn it! Don't move! Let me see clearly!"

"Panchis, are you sure what you saw was the immortality curse?"

"It's impossible to be wrong! I could be wrong about anything, but I couldn't be wrong about the immortality curse!"

"Damn it, stop moving! Can't you endure it for a while! Let us see!"

"The immortality curse! It really is the immortality curse! The immortality curse is being eliminated!"

"Really? Why didn't I see it?"

"Move aside, those in front! If your eyesight isn't good, move back, okay? Let me see!"

The Abyss Mages were anxiously scratching their heads in place, but from time to time someone would exclaim in confirmation, and suddenly, the entire Abyss became even more frantic.

No one hated the immortality curse more than the Abyss Mages; that was the root of their five hundred years of suffering.

Originally, they thought that even if they could complete Aether and the Abyss's plan, it would only be to restore the nation; the probability of solving something like the immortality curse was very low.

They didn't have high hopes.

But now, before the plan was even completed, the immortality curse was already being solved.

This kind of sudden surprise could drive the entire Abyss Order completely crazy.

For many, immortality might be a blessing, but for the people of Khaenri'ah.

Living as a monster was the most vicious curse.

They dreamed of being human again.

Aether looked at the somewhat chaotic Abyss below, frowned slightly, and scolded in a deep voice:

"Quiet!"

Aether's deterrent power had been built up over the years, after all; immediately, the people of the Abyss shut their mouths, but they still squeezed forward one by one.

"Men, grab him, don't let him roll around!"

Aether gave the order, and immediately, several Abyss Lectors and Abyss Heralds swarmed forward.

They propped up the Iniquitous Baptist and held him firmly under control.

Suddenly, it was clear to everyone.

That drop of golden refined blood was indeed spinning in the Iniquitous Baptist's dantian.

As the refined blood rotated, wisps of black energy were constantly being drawn out and then obliterated.

In turn, the refined blood turned into wisps of blood mist and settled in his dantian.

At this moment, half of it was already that blood-colored energy.

"Really... the immortality curse is really being eliminated!"

"We are saved! We are saved!"

"Bless the Adepti! Bless Shushan!"

"Great! Father, Mother! Look! The immortality curse can really be solved!"

The Abyss Mages were ecstatic, hugging each other in celebration; some knelt on the ground weeping, while others were so overjoyed that they forgot the ban and flew into the sky.

Aether saw it, but he didn't say anything.

The chance to solve the immortality curse was too important a piece of news for the people of the Abyss.

It was fine to let them be happy for a while.

Even Aether himself couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at this moment.

A five-hundred-year plan, the restoration of Khaenri'ah...

Such a great ambition, the plan had yet to be realized.

The sudden appearance of the fierce beast had strangely solved the biggest problem.

An unexpected joy...

Aether sighed long and felt a bit invigorated in his heart.

With this, the great cause of restoring the nation had more hope.

"Your Highness, his aura is weakening!"

Suddenly, an Abyss Lector shouted urgently, and Aether immediately turned his head to look.

Sure enough, the Iniquitous Baptist was now too weak to wail, hanging his head and remaining motionless.

"Dead?!"

Aether was suddenly anxious; seeing hope right before his eyes, how could it fail like this?

He stepped forward quickly and sensed the Iniquitous Baptist's aura.

Immediately, Aether glared at the Abyss Lector.

"Useless! It's one thing that you couldn't handle the matter of joining Shushan, but you can't even convey a message clearly; what use are you?"

The Abyss Lector lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty.

Aether turned back, looked at the other somewhat nervous Abyss Mages, and said loudly:

"Don't worry, it's just that his abyssal aura is weakening, while his elemental energy, physical body, and other human parts are strengthening."

"His strength has just weakened a bit."

Immediately, the Abyss Mages breathed a sigh of relief, feeling even more absurd in their hearts.

Even the power of the Abyss was obliterated quite a bit; this fierce beast refined blood was truly extraordinary.

Although losing the power of the Abyss meant his strength would be weaker, but...

Compared to solving the immortality curse, this was not worth mentioning.

I don't know how much time passed, but the golden blood finally dissipated completely, turning into blood mist that filled his dantian.

A fierce and overbearing aura surged up from the Iniquitous Baptist.

The people of the Abyss who were holding him were blown away instantly.
