Chapter 353
"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 within their dantian."
Aether nodded slightly, confirming that the Khaenri'ahns also possessed a dantian.
"It's getting hotter and hotter, Your Highness!"
The Iniquitous Baptist suddenly went rigid, kneeling on the ground and curling into a ball.
"So hot! No, so cold!"
"No... it hurts so much!"
"Your Highness! Save... save me..."
Warriors like the Iniquitous Baptist were now rolling on the ground, wailing.
It was evident what kind of agony he was enduring.
Aether took a few steps back, and the others hurriedly retreated as well.
"Is it hot or cold? Speak clearly!"
The Iniquitous Baptist hammered the ground fiercely; in an instant, the ground collapsed, and a surge of abyssal magic power erupted, ravaging the Abyss.
But Aether quickly smoothed it out with pure light.
"Your Highness... it hurts too much..."
"It feels... it feels like a hole has been burned 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 appeared from time to time, only to be erased by Aether again.
Gradually, his body seemed to become somewhat transparent.
Aether hurriedly focused his gaze; that drop of golden blood was spiraling in his lower abdomen.
Wisps of black aura were drawn in from the surroundings from time to time, only to be easily obliterated.
That aura looked somewhat familiar.
Until an Abyss Mage suddenly exclaimed.
"The Immortality Curse! That's the Immortality Curse! Is the Immortality Curse being destroyed?!"
Instantly, the entire Abyss boiled over.
Countless Abyss Mages forgot their fear and rushed forward in a swarm, staring intently at the rolling Iniquitous Baptist.
"Damn it! Don't move! Let me see clearly!"
"Panchis, are you sure you saw the Immortality Curse?"
"It's impossible for me to be wrong! I could be wrong about anything, but never 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 destroyed!"
"Really? Why didn't I see it?"
"Those in front, move aside! If your eyesight is bad, step back, okay? Let me see!"
The Abyss Mages were anxiously scratching their heads in place, but as people exclaimed and confirmed it from time to time, the entire Abyss became even more frantic.
No one hated the Immortality Curse more than the Abyss Mages; it was the root of their five hundred years of suffering.
Originally, they thought that completing Aether and the Abyss's plan would only mean restoring the nation; the probability of solving something like the Immortality Curse was very low.
They didn't hold much hope for it.
But now, before the plan was even completed, the Immortality Curse was already being solved.
This sudden surprise could drive the entire Abyss Order completely mad.
For many, immortality might be a blessing, but for the Khaenri'ahns.
Living on as monsters 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, after all, been established for years; instantly, the people of the Abyss shut their mouths, though they still squeezed forward one by one.
"Someone, grab him and don't let him roll around!"
Aether gave the order, and instantly, several Abyss Heralds and Abyss Lectors swarmed up.
They pinned the Iniquitous Baptist down, keeping him firmly under control.
Instantly, everyone saw it clearly.
That drop of golden essence blood was indeed spiraling in the Iniquitous Baptist's dantian.
As the essence blood rotated, wisps of black aura were continuously extracted and then obliterated.
In turn, the essence blood turned into wisps of blood mist, settling into his dantian.
At this point, half of it was already that blood-colored aura.
"Really... the Immortality Curse is really being eliminated!"
"We are saved! We are saved!"
"Bless the Immortals! Bless Shushan!"
"That's wonderful! Father, Mother! Look! The curse of immortality can truly be broken!"
The Abyss Mages were ecstatic, hugging each other in celebration; some knelt on the ground weeping, while others, overcome with joy, forgot the ban and flew into the sky.
Aether saw it, but didn't say anything.
The chance to solve the Immortality Curse was too important for the people of the Abyss.
Letting them be happy for a while was fine.
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 grand wish, the plan had yet to be realized.
Yet a sudden fierce beast had strangely solved the biggest problem.
An unexpected joy...
Aether sighed deeply, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.
With this, the great cause of restoring the nation had even more hope.
"Your Highness, his aura is weakening!"
Suddenly, an Abyss Lector shouted urgently, and Aether immediately turned to look.
Sure enough, the Iniquitous Baptist was already too weak to wail, hanging his head motionless.
"Dead?!"
Aether was instantly anxious; with hope right before his eyes, how could it fail like this?
He stepped forward quickly and felt the Iniquitous Baptist's aura.
Instantly, Aether glared at the Abyss Lector.
"Trash! It's one thing that you can't handle the matter of joining Shushan, but you can't even pass on a message clearly. What use are you?"
The Abyss Lector lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty.
Aether turned back to look at the other nervous Abyss Mages and said loudly:
"No need to worry, it's just that his abyssal aura is weakening, while his elemental power, physical body, and other human parts are strengthening."
"His strength has just weakened a bit."
Instantly, the Abyss Mages breathed a sigh of relief, feeling even more incredulous.
Even the abyssal power was being obliterated quite a bit; this fierce beast's essence blood was truly extraordinary.
Although losing abyssal power meant becoming weaker, but...
Compared to solving the Immortality Curse, this was not worth mentioning.
After an unknown amount of time, the golden blood finally dissipated completely, turning into blood mist that filled his dantian.
A fierce and overbearing aura surged from the Iniquitous Baptist.
The Abyss people holding him were instantly blown away. ===== CHAPTER 354 =====
