Chapter 257

Crystal Swamp, mud pool island.

Zhang Xingyu lay on the grass, sleeping soundly.

Beside him was a crystal-clear crystal bottle.

The bottle was empty, and the green liquid that had originally been inside had disappeared.

The old demon He Teyao sat beside him, waving his hand to gently shoo away the mosquitoes around him.

He Teyao's eyelids kept twitching, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

This was a manifestation of his heart aching to the extreme.

A whole bottle of Life Essence! To save this kid, he had lost a whole bottle of Life Essence.

This bottle of Life Essence was something He Teyao had obtained from a forbidden zone of life.

To obtain this bottle of Life Essence, He Teyao had paid a huge price.

Countless high-level magic scrolls, countless high-level magic artifacts, and even his beloved wife.

From the moment he obtained this bottle of Life Essence, He Teyao had regarded it as his second life.

He had never revealed to anyone that he had Life Essence; even his beloved god-granddaughter, Dark Moon, did not know he had such a treasure.

Even when he was seriously injured, as long as he wasn't at death's door, he couldn't bear to drink a single drop.

But now, to save the dying human kid in front of him, he had been forced to take it out.

The kid in front of him was skinny as a rail, his expression listless, like a spark that could go out at any moment.

If he didn't save him, he would lose the chance to become a Demon God.

A Demon God, this was the ultimate dream He Teyao was striving for.

For this dream, He Teyao could abandon anything.

Holding the jade bottle, he personally poured this incomparably precious Life Essence into Zhang Xingyu's mouth.

Every drop he poured, He Teyao's heart ached.

Heart aching so much he couldn't breathe, unable to find the traces you left behind, watching you helplessly, yet unable to do anything, letting you disappear at the end of the world; unable to find a reason to be strong...

Watching the last drop of Life Essence drip into Zhang Xingyu's mouth, He Teyao was already numb with pain.

Fortunately, with this full bottle of Life Essence, Zhang Xingyu's life fire finally grew a bit stronger.

If it was just a spark before, now it could be considered a small flame.

He Teyao let out a long breath.

A moment later, his expression became exceptionally ferocious.

"Kid, you drank my treasured Life Essence. If you don't complete the task and bring back the Holy Fire, I swear I will tear you into ten thousand pieces."

Zhang Xingyu slept for three days.

Three days later, he woke up leisurely.

Although his body still remained in a skin-and-bones state, his spirit had improved quite a bit.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu wake up, He Teyao rubbed his numb legs and stood up shakily.

Sitting beside Zhang Xingyu and fanning mosquitoes for him for three days was also a big challenge for the old demon He Teyao.

"Kid, since you're awake, get up yourself!" He Teyao said to Zhang Xingyu.

Zhang Xingyu did not answer.

He sank his heart and mind into his body.

Inside, his meridians were atrophied, his spiritual power was exhausted, and the bean-sized Golden Core had become as small as dust.

In the Divine Court, the Divine Sea was atrophied, the God Yuan was exhausted, and the originally bubbling Divine Spring had become as thin as a hair.

This appearance looked truly miserable.

However, Zhang Xingyu was not discouraged.

Because, although the price was high, the harvest was even greater.

At this very moment, in the center of the Divine Sea.

A small ring-shaped reef was exceptionally bright in the Divine Sea.

This reef was flashing with fluorescence, and it was actually all piled up from pieces of Divine Source Stones.

Inside the reef, there was a lake of golden light.

In the center of the lake surface, a green lotus the size of a finger was swaying gently.

This green lotus was Zhang Xingyu's greatest harvest from this adventure.

As for that day, in the abyss.

Zhang Xingyu, relying on a Heavenly Divine Sword and a pair of Wind God Wings, and after consuming more than half of his God Yuan, finally destroyed that eerie great array.

One by one, Divine Source Stones were put into his pocket, and one by one, runes were extracted from the Divine Source Stones.

When the last rune was extracted, his Divine Sea underwent a earth-shaking change.

Above the Divine Sea, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

On the surface of the Divine Sea, waves surged.

The Divine Infant sat cross-legged beside the Holy Fire, and star-shining runes were intertwined in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Heavenly thunder poured down, and the runes sizzled.

One hundred and eight heavenly thunders, one hundred and eight runes.

As the heavenly thunder dissipated, the runes had merged together, turning into a green seed the size of a grain of rice.

The seed fell into the Divine Sea.

The surface of the Divine Sea began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the vitality in Zhang Xingyu's body was constantly being extracted and merged into this green seed.

His body shriveled rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Damn it.

This seed is truly damn strange!

I'm afraid that in less than a quarter of an hour, he would be sucked into a dried corpse by it.

Zhang Xingyu was extremely anxious.

At this very moment, the only thing that could save him was that mysterious system.

"System, system, calling system!"

The system was nowhere to be found.

"Great System, Great System! Save me quickly!"

The system remained silent.

Deep in the void, the system black diamond was trembling gently.

"Host, oh host, I can't help you this time. You're on your own!"

Seeing that the system didn't respond, Zhang Xingyu looked at the Heavenly Divine Sword in front of him.

Divine Sword, oh Divine Sword, take action quickly.

Chop that seed, and I'll treat you to a drink.

The Heavenly Divine Sword shook, then flew behind the Divine Infant with a swish.

Looking at it, it seemed to be saying: "Don't look for me, I'm scared too!"

The Divine Sea gradually dried up.

The Divine Infant closed his eyes.

This time, there was no escape.

Despair!

Death!

Zhang Xingyu seemed to have already seen the Grim Reaper beckoning to him.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, all you great gods, save me!

Zhang Xingyu's soul was shouting.

Perhaps the gods heard his call.

"Pop!"

That green seed suddenly made a light sound.

Immediately after, a small opening cracked on the surface of the seed, and a small leaf poked its head out from within.

The leaf was round, green, and the surface was shrouded in clouds and mist.

A lotus leaf!

A single-leaf green lotus?

Once the green lotus appeared, that strange sucking power suddenly stopped.

Zhang Xingyu stopped at the edge of death.

The Divine Infant touched his chest and whispered: "So dangerous! So dangerous!"

After finishing, he seemed to feel something and sat down cross-legged.

On his forehead, the divine light shone brightly.

In the Divine Sea, light shone everywhere.

He saw that on the surface of the green lotus, the mist turned into light and instantly merged into the divine light.

The Divine Infant gained a trace of enlightenment.

"Chaos seeds a green lotus!"

Several large golden characters suddenly appeared above the Divine Sea.

The large characters flickered a few times and then instantly dissipated.

At the same time, a faint murmur came from the depths of the vast universe.

"The Chaos Green Lotus has reappeared; which great god is about to be born?"
