Chapter 1588: Sealing and Awakening

Inside the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device, Su Xiao checked the surrounding situation. This was somewhat similar to a teleportation array, only the patterns below were different. He was surrounded by metal pillars, forming a circle, and electric arcs surged between the metal pillars.

Every metal pillar was engraved with patterns. Just by looking at these patterns, Su Xiao had the feeling that his consciousness was about to be sucked into them.

*Boom! *

A muffled sound came to Su Xiao's ears. His chest felt like it had been hammered; it was the Blade Demon energy rushing out of the Devourer Core. Although this energy had no subjective consciousness, it had sensed a sense of crisis.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on his chest. This was the first time he had felt the Blade Demon energy so violent, however... it was of no use. This was just a piece of energy, at most it was just rampaging in his body.

After confirming the Blade Demon Energy Sealing Device was fine, Su Xiao took out dozens of transparent crystals from his storage space. These were 【Consciousness Conduction Crystals】. To obtain these things, he had spent over a million Paradise Coins.

Su Xiao placed 1,000 grams of Consciousness Conduction Crystals into the card slot below the Blade Demon Sealing Device. The surrounding electric arcs disappeared, turning into blue light pillars as thick as fingers, converging on one point from all directions.

Drawing the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan from his waist, Su Xiao stabbed the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan into the card slot below the Blade Demon Sealing Device. The card slot was a bit wide, but it didn't matter.

Su Xiao retreated a few steps to the point where the hundreds of light pillars converged. Regarding the Blade Demon Sealing Device, Marv Waltz had introduced it in detail. This thing was a stripper, stripping the Blade Demon energy from Su Xiao's body and sealing it into the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. Of course, not all Law-Breakers would do this—not because they didn't dare, but because they couldn't. This required completing many prerequisites, such as the Blade of the Dark Moon energy in the body being stronger than the Blade Demon energy.

When the hundreds of blue light pillars converged on Su Xiao, he felt dizzy in his brain. Marv Waltz had mentioned that if he couldn't keep his consciousness clear now, he would instantly turn into a Blade Demon. Fortunately, this was a reversible process.

*Whoosh! *

Blood energy was released from Su Xiao's body surface, and Su Xiao's pupils turned blood-red.

Void, the lowest level of the Black Abyss, Sea of Living Flowers, under a tall Black Maple Tree, a pair of equally blood-red pupils opened.

"A fellow... is born."

The figure under the Black Maple Tree stood up, but after a moment, he sat back under the tree.

"A fellow... has failed."

*Boom! *

A thunderous sound seemed to ring in Su Xiao's brain. The blood light in his eyes faded. In the instant just now, he had turned into a Blade Demon. That feeling... unrestrained, but it wasn't a pleasant experience either.

In that instant, Su Xiao's consciousness seemed to be imprisoned in a cage. Although he could perceive his own body, he couldn't control it. This increased his determination to strip the Blade Demon energy from his body. He wouldn't leave a time bomb in his body. As long as the Blade Demon energy was sealed into the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, he could use the Devourer Core at will. Moreover, the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan could complete the Awakening of the Blade. From then on, the Blade Demon energy would be used by Su Xiao.

The blue light pillars converged on Su Xiao and were all submerged into his body. The Blade of the Dark Moon energy in his body was consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Once the Blade of the Dark Moon energy was exhausted, the Blade Demon energy would win. If the Blade Demon energy was stripped from his body before this, Su Xiao would win.

Su Xiao's right hand gripped the air, and the Blade of the Dark Moon energy in his hand formed threads. These threads submerged into his body, linking to the blue light pillars of the same source.

Su Xiao gripped tightly in front of his chest, making a posture of pulling outward.

*Hum~*

The Blade Demon Sealing Device was fully activated, and ripples of energy spread to the surroundings. Amu, on the side, retreated a few steps, falling straight to the ground, rolling its eyes and kicking its legs.

*Crack, crack, crack... *

Fine cracks appeared on the surrounding ice cave. With Su Xiao's pull, the iceberg below seemed about to split.

As Su Xiao's right arm pulled outward, his expression became increasingly painful. This feeling was like dragging his own muscles and bones. That pit-guy mentor Marv Waltz hadn't mentioned it would be this painful.

When Su Xiao's right hand pulled out a few centimeters, the blue light pillars that had converged were pulled out from his chest. At the point where all the light pillars converged, a mass of black-blue energy surged; this was the Blade Demon energy.

"Finally met."

The veins on Su Xiao's neck bulged. Just as he was preparing to pull the Blade Demon energy completely out of his body, a feeling of weakness came over his whole body, and those light pillars and Blade Demon energy retreated back into his body.

"*Huff, huff, huff... *"

Su Xiao took a few big breaths and checked his mana consumption; 5,490 points remained. In other words, the Blade of the Dark Moon energy was still very sufficient. Pulling out the Blade Demon energy couldn't be completed in one go. Every time he pulled, the Blade Demon energy would weaken a bit.

Su Xiao panted for a moment, exerted force on his hand, and continued to wrestle with the Blade Demon energy. Just at this moment, Amu, not far away, woke up leisurely.

As soon as Amu woke up, it scrambled away from Su Xiao. The feeling just now was like having its skull lifted and a hammer smashed into its brain—it was indescribably sour and refreshing.

With nothing to do, Amu came to the entrance of the ice cave to guard the door for Su Xiao. As soon as it sat down, a rumbling sound came from its stomach. It looked at the team storage space; the food inside had been cleared out by it.

Amu secretly glanced at the purple crystal in the ice cave. That thing... seemed very delicious.

On Su Xiao's side, his arched right arm stretched outward. With his movements, the veins on his neck bulged. This was a very long wrestling process.

Five minutes later, sweat dripped from Su Xiao's face. His current feeling was as if he had been fighting Morisa + Moi Nora + Lord Without a Crown for several days. He glanced at his mana; 3,100 points remained.

Seeing the remaining mana, Su Xiao knew he had won. If the Blade Demon energy of the past was a fierce tiger, then now it was at best a cat with a decent physique.

One last time!

Su Xiao took a deep breath and stretched his right arm outward. This had nothing to do with how strong his power was, but rather the strength and quality of the Blade of the Dark Moon energy.

*Hum~*

The impact spread. Amu, in front of the purple crystal, shuddered. It held the purple crystal in its hand and tried to lick it. It was this lick that made Amu tremble all over—it was too damn delicious!

On Su Xiao's side, his right hand gripped tightly. After taking a few deep breaths, he exerted force in his hand again.

*Snap! * Something in Su Xiao's body seemed to be snapped, giving him an unprecedented feeling of relief.

Trails of finger-thick light pillars converged in Su Xiao's hand, and a mass of black-blue energy twisted incessantly in his hand. Ever since Su Xiao obtained the Devourer Core ability, the Blade Demon energy had appeared and had been in his body.

Su Xiao took a step forward, approaching the direction of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan. Just this step seemed to consume most of his strength, almost causing him to fall to the ground.

By now, the stripping of the Blade Demon energy had been completed. Next was the Awakening of the Blade stage.

Su Xiao came to the front of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan, one step at a time, and pressed the Blade Demon energy in his hand toward the hilt. In this instant, the entire Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan was wrapped in black-blue smoke, like a magic blade.

Su Xiao's left hand pressed on the Blade Demon Sealing Device below, and the Blade of the Dark Moon energy scattered.

*Click, click... *

The Blade Demon Sealing Device was locked, entering the final sealing stage. Those blue light pillars turned black, converging at the hilt of the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan.

Success. The rest just needed waiting.

Su Xiao sat in the Blade Demon Sealing Device. Now he just needed to wait for the Awakening of the Blade to be completed. He turned his head inadvertently to look at Amu. Seeing the scene in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitched wildly. Amu was holding that purple crystal and licking it, like eating candy. Looking at its appearance, that purple crystal had already been licked down by a layer. ===== CHAPTER 1589 =====
