Chapter 1398: The Correct Way to Use the Devouring Core

After the Blade Demon phantom swallowed the head of the white light phantom, this deep blue phantom began to twist, forming a vortex, and finally disappeared.

Su Xiao, whose half body was drifting with blue smoke, immediately noticed this scene. He closed his eyes to perceive. In the past, when activating the Devouring Core to absorb biological energy, the Blade Demon phantom would definitely appear.

The Blade Demon phantom was not some "external evil invasion." When Su Xiao generated the Devouring Core in his body, the Blade Demon phantom appeared at the same time. It seemed to be a symbiotic relationship with the Devouring Core.

Whenever Su Xiao used the Devouring Core, the Blade Demon phantom intended to surge into Su Xiao's body. In principle, the Blade Demon phantom was just a mass of energy, and it was also attracted by the Devouring Core. If Su Xiao didn't use the Devouring Core, the Blade Demon phantom wouldn't invade Su Xiao's body at all.

Therefore, it was the Devouring Core that was actively attracting the Blade Demon phantom, not that the Blade Demon phantom had subjective consciousness and intended to seize Su Xiao's body. In fact, even if the Blade Demon phantom surged into Su Xiao's body, Su Xiao would at most lose his mind, his consciousness would fall into a coma for a long time, and whether he could wake up was unknown.

Precisely because of this, the Void races were so afraid of the Blade Demon. The Blade Demon acted unconsciously, regardless of friend or foe, regardless of good or evil. Its code of conduct was mostly based on the original personality of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker.

Taking Su Xiao as an example, if he were suppressed by the Blade Demon phantom, not to mention killing through the world he was in, he would also be an extremely dangerous existence.

Although the Void races were wary of the Blade Demon, no one worked together to encircle and suppress it. The reason was that it wasn't worth it. Not to mention that the Blade Demon who had lost his mind was strong to the point of perversion, even if they encircled and killed that Blade Demon, what could those Void races get? The spellcasters had already confirmed that the subjective consciousness of that Blade Demon was dead, meaning the consciousness of the Shadow of the Law-Breaker within that Blade Demon had dissipated.

Su Xiao had asked Marven Waltz about the Blade Demon phantom. Marven Waltz's answer was interesting. His original words were: "The Blade Demon Spirit is not dangerous. If you are strong enough, it is one of your abilities, one of the very important abilities."

Precisely because of this, Su Xiao's impression of the Blade Demon phantom changed greatly. He knew before that this thing was just a mass of unknown energy. After Marven Waltz's confirmation, he already roughly knew what this was.

To suppress the Blade Demon phantom, one didn't need a heart as firm as iron. Even if one changed to a "steel heart," one couldn't avoid the invasion of the Blade Demon phantom.

There was only one way to organize the Blade Demon from invading the body, and that was Qing Gang Ying energy. As long as the Qing Gang Ying energy was stronger than the Blade Demon phantom, this energy wouldn't cause any damage to Su Xiao, provided he didn't overuse the Devouring Core.

Now that the Blade Demon phantom had suddenly disappeared, Su Xiao's expression wasn't very good. He had already perceived the location of the Blade Demon phantom. It was in the Devouring Core, a black-blue energy concentrated into a point, with a drive to expand slowly.

It was obvious that the Blade Demon phantom had improved after devouring the white light phantom. If the degree of improvement was higher than the Qing Gang Ying ability, then this energy would directly surge into Su Xiao's body. Once that situation appeared, Su Xiao's consciousness would be drowsy. In the crisis-ridden Samsara Paradise, that was equivalent to death.

If Su Xiao turned into a Blade Demon, he wouldn't pay attention to the missions issued by the Samsara Paradise, and he would be dead by then.

After Su Xiao closed his eyes to perceive the strength of the Blade Demon energy in his body, his brows raised. The energy base of this thing... seemed a bit spicy.

The purity of the Blade Demon energy was amazing, far exceeding the Qing Gang Ying energy by dozens of times. As for the sum of energy...

According to Su Xiao's estimation, even if the Blade Demon energy completed its improvement, Qing Gang Ying energy above LV. 35 would be enough to suppress this energy.

Today, Su Xiao's Qing Gang Ying ability was LV. 40, completely capable of pressing the Blade Demon energy in the Devouring Core and beating it, or rather, without the protection of the Devouring Core, over time, it wasn't impossible for Qing Gang Ying energy to devour and extinguish this energy.

The current situation was not critical, but Su Xiao didn't dare to relax. The reason was simple: previously, only Qing Gang Ying ability around LV. 20 was needed to suppress the Blade Demon energy, and the Blade Demon energy had improved a lot after devouring the head of the white light phantom, requiring Qing Gang Ying ability around LV. 35 to suppress.

If the Blade Demon energy devoured life energy one more time, the current level of Qing Gang Ying ability wouldn't be able to suppress the Blade Demon energy, which basically announced death.

Su Xiao didn't know what kind of evil wind the Blade Demon energy had caught today, actually taking the initiative to bite off the enemy's head.

Inside the fifth floor of the fortress, blue smoke wrapped the white light phantom. The blue smoke twisted, and a large amount of energy surged into Su Xiao's left arm, then entered the Devouring Core in his chest, transformed, refined, purified, and filtered, turning into a non-attribute colorless energy, which was devoured by the Qing Gang Ying energy.

Qing Gang Ying energy grew rapidly, and the blue smoke in Su Xiao's hand became even stronger.

Hoo~

Blue smoke surged on Su Xiao's body. He seemed to have discovered something interesting. Suddenly, blue smoke began to permeate all over his body, like burning flames.

This was the first time Su Xiao had wrapped blue smoke all over his body. The scene in his sight changed greatly. The surrounding world turned black and white. Not far away, there were four red energy masses, each the size of a fist. These red energies were very flawed, seeming to be frequently mixed with some kind of high-position energy.

Su Xiao instinctively had a repulsive feeling toward these four energies. Those four things were disgusting and couldn't be "eaten."

Su Xiao's sight turned, and a mass of pink energy floated beside him. This mass of energy looked very sweet, but it couldn't be eaten either. Reason told Su Xiao that he couldn't devour this thing; it was an energy of the same type as him.

This mass of pink energy was actually the assistant. The assistant stood straight in place, swallowing, cold sweat flowing down her temples. A few seconds ago, her officer was wrapped in a kind of blue smoke, his eyes turned blood-red, and the blue smoke drifting on his body surface was like magic flames burning.

"Sir...?"

The assistant's legs were shaking. She could restrain the fear in her heart, but her instinct was telling her: run away!

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao was very clear-headed now, or rather, he had never observed this world so clearly.

"Hoo~ I thought you had a genetic mutation."

"..."

Su Xiao raised his right arm. The reason he was completely wrapped in blue smoke was that he had fully activated the Devouring Core ability. In the past, he had at most activated the Devouring Core to 15%–20%, but now, he had fully activated the Devouring Core. The reason he dared to do so was simple: the Blade Demon phantom was in a "hibernation" state, and the vitality of that energy was greatly reduced.

Su Xiao only now knew that the Devouring Core could be used like this. He saw many things, such as an extremely powerful life energy in the innermost room on the fifth floor. That energy didn't take the initiative to attack, seeming to be guarding something.

Not only that, he also saw things in the different space. Although he couldn't enter there, he saw a large mass of golden energy in the different space. That golden energy was like ice cream in the scorching summer, making one want to take a big bite. ===== CHAPTER 1399 =====
