Chapter 852: Let Me... Kill You

At this time, the blood energy had already compressed Su Xiao's own aura to three meters in size. There wasn't much time left. He had to test whether the method he envisioned was feasible as soon as possible.

Of course, even if it didn't succeed, with his own aura protecting him, Su Xiao wouldn't be in too much danger; he would just lose some Paradise Coins.

A transparent energy thread connected the simplified Devouring Core and Su Xiao. Don't underestimate this thread. Once the Devouring Core successfully absorbed the blood energy and purified and refined it, the pure blood energy obtained would be conducted to Su Xiao along this thread.

This energy thread was made by Su Xiao spending nearly 500 points of mana. Inside, there were eight ultra-small Devouring Cores. These Devouring Cores were simpler and only had one ability: purification.

From the blood energy entering the simplified Devouring Core to being conducted to Su Xiao, it would undergo a total of nine purifications. If there was still negative energy in it, then Su Xiao couldn't help it.

Taking a breath, Su Xiao activated the simplified Devouring Core above his head.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of small holes opened on the Devouring Core, and like a whale sucking water, it instantly sucked in the blood energy within dozens of meters nearby. Without the erosion of the blood energy, Su Xiao's pressure was greatly reduced.

Crack, crack, crack...

Fine cracks appeared on the simplified Devouring Core. Su Xiao wasn't surprised. This thing was a simplified version he had made. When he originally manufactured the complete Devouring Core, he had soaked it in a pool of Qing Gang Ying energy, and he didn't know how much Qing Gang Ying energy had been consumed.

Now, relying only on his own Qing Gang Ying energy, it was only natural that the simplified Devouring Core was very fragile.

After a large amount of blood energy was sucked into the simplified Devouring Core, the simplified Devouring Core began to operate, purifying and refining the blood energy.

Soon, a pale red energy surged out of the simplified Devouring Core. At this time, the simplified Devouring Core was already blood-red, filled with impurities from the blood energy inside.

The pure blood energy was conducted to Su Xiao along the energy thread. The eight simpler Devouring Cores inside the energy thread began to operate, purifying this blood energy time and time again.

In the end, the blood energy had been purified to be almost transparent, with only a faint red color visible.

A mass of his own aura gathered in Su Xiao's hand, and the blood energy that had undergone nine purifications merged into his own aura.

His own aura swallowed and merged with the blood energy that had been purified nine times without any effort, and no abnormalities appeared. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao's face showed joy.

The preliminary experiment was successful. The subsequent things were much simpler: let the simplified Devouring Core above his head constantly swallow blood energy, filter it, and convert it into pure blood energy that could be absorbed.

Su Xiao had come up with this trick for upgrading skills, which was something most Qiyuezhe wouldn't think of. However, Su Xiao knew that he was definitely not the first person to do so.

The facilities of the Reincarnation Paradise were there, and Su Xiao spent Paradise Coins to use these facilities. As for how to use them specifically, it depended on the individual—whether to stick to the rules or to get greater improvements with minimal spending.

The Reincarnation Paradise must have noticed what Su Xiao was doing now. However, he didn't receive any warnings, which meant the Reincarnation Paradise had tacitly allowed Qiyuezhe to do so.

A large amount of blood energy was absorbed by the simplified Devouring Core, and after several layers of purification, the final pure blood energy obtained was absorbed by Su Xiao.

Absorbing a large amount of this blood energy, Su Xiao didn't feel any abnormalities, only that his own aura was improving rapidly. Of course, it wasn't without drawbacks; the fishy smell on his body was stronger. Heaven knows if his Charm attribute would drop.

Compared to the blood energy drifting on the ancient battlefield, the blood energy Su Xiao absorbed was just a drop in the ocean. This was an ancient battlefield. The dead included giant dragons, demonic goats, ancient giant beasts, and powerful beings from various races. What quantity of blood energy would these people produce after death?

Ten minutes later, the simplified Devouring Core above Su Xiao's head was full of cracks and could shatter at any time. The energy thread also turned blood-red, filled with blood energy residue inside. These residues must never be absorbed into the body, otherwise, the aftermath would be endless.

Su Xiao let out a long breath. There wasn't much time left to continue absorbing. Just as he was preparing to absorb the last bit of blood energy, he suddenly found that the situation around him was wrong.

The blood energy of the entire ancient battlefield began to gather near Su Xiao. If the simplified Devouring Core absorbed this amount of blood energy, it would shatter instantly, let alone purify and refine it.

Su Xiao knew the situation was bad. He immediately deactivated the simplified Devouring Core and simultaneously retracted his own aura, letting the blood energy erode him. Only in this way would he be teleported back to the Skill Enhancement Hall.

Blood-red patterns appeared on Su Xiao's skin.

At the same time, the blood energy above him formed a giant hand that covered the sky and the sun. This giant hand almost condensed into a solid, and the palm prints on it were clearly visible.

The blood-colored giant hand slapped down. Su Xiao felt cold all over. Being slapped by this thing would definitely mean death, absolutely!

Boom!

A loud noise spread across the ancient battlefield, and a bottomless palm-shaped abyss appeared. Su Xiao had already disappeared.

Boom.

A sonic boom came, and a man with long white hair, about three meters tall, and a withered face appeared.

The man's finger pointed at the air, and the scene began to flow backward. The palm-shaped abyss disappeared, and Su Xiao's figure sitting cross-legged on the ground appeared.

"Hmm? Extinguishing Law?"

The white-haired man's pupils shrank, and his withered face was cold.

"Appeared again? Since I met you during your growth period, then become a corpse."

Without any movement, the space in front of the white-haired man shattered. He walked into the void and began to track Su Xiao.

Two seconds later.

Bang!

Space shattered again, and the white-haired man, already twisted and deformed, flew out of the space hole and fell to the ground.

"What kind of existence is this? What great power..."

The white-haired man's lips trembled, as if he had seen some terrifying existence.

Clang!

A crisp slashing sound came, a space crack appeared, and a humanoid creature covered in blue smoke, holding a long blade, walked out of the crack.

"Who is this again? No, it's a blade..."

Swish~

The white-haired man's head flew off. The humanoid creature covered in blue smoke stared at the white-haired man's corpse. After a long while, it turned and entered the space crack.

"Same kind, where are you? Let me... kill you."

The humanoid creature's voice came from the space crack.

A few minutes later, the space holes and cracks on the ancient battlefield healed.

In the skill upgrade pod, Su Xiao lay on the ground, covered in blood, and could fall into a coma at any time.

That blood-colored palm didn't hit him, but even so, he still suffered very heavy injuries. This made him secretly vigilant: he must never easily enter that ancient battlefield again in the future; there were too many unknown factors.

【Warning: Hunter has been eroded by the ancient battlefield's blood energy, multiple bone fractures, severe internal bleeding, trace amounts of blood energy residue mixed in aura. Pay Paradise Coins to recover?】

Su Xiao's eyes narrowed. Even though he used multi-layered methods to purify the blood energy, there were still blood energy residues mixed in his aura. Fortunately, they could be removed with Paradise Coins.

"Pay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xiao felt a pang of pain.

【Tip: Clearing blood energy erosion requires 10,600 Paradise Coins.】

【Tip: Multiple bone fractures, severe internal bleeding, requires 1,300 Paradise Coins.】

【Tip: Removing blood energy residue from aura requires 47,200 Paradise Coins.】

【Paradise Coin payment complete. Starting repair.】

An hour later, Su Xiao looked at the remaining 35,800 Paradise Coins and couldn't help but sigh. Paradise Coins were spent too quickly, and the remaining ones had to be used to manufacture the No. 1 potion.

Although he spent a lot of Paradise Coins, it was worth it. He immediately opened the skill list to check Aura Release. ===== CHAPTER 853 =====
