Chapter 687

But he still explained in a low voice.

"...... That knife of Akirame! It's cursed.

I've already tested it roughly—its effect has reached its limit against Spirit Energy Masters; it does nothing to Masters.

Su Han was not surprised.

A Master-level cultivator! Blood qi like a great river, life force vigorous.

Murasame is said to kill all life, but this is limited only to the Akira world.

In the myriad worlds, Murasame's lethality truly isn't much.

Ram paused, then continued explaining.

"Of course, if someone is truly wounded by that knife, after a few days, a Spirit Energy Master will still die.

But as Akirame's strength grows, the knife's curse will also grow stronger—sooner or later, it will be able to kill a Master."

Murasame's greatest advantage right now is... it grows stronger as Akirame grows stronger.

This is an extraordinary trait.

Su Han pondered, then nodded. Akirame's own strength is naturally inferior to that of a Spirit Energy Master.

But with that knife added, in assassination, it's hard to say.

If Akirame handles it well, and the opponent doesn't know her ability, she can easily ambush and kill a Spirit Energy Master.

After a pause, Ram continued, "As for Kurokame! I killed several Master-level ferocious beasts and replaced them with the Eight Houses of the Dead. That's not bad."

"Like Akirame, her Eight Houses of the Dead can currently control only Master-level ferocious beasts.

But they can be upgraded further in the future!"

"This is already quite good!"

Su Han nodded.

He roughly understood Ram's explanation.

Perhaps their current strength still falls short of a Master.

But their future potential is very promising.

Added to that, both have trained hard these past two days without complaint.

Ram slightly acknowledged their eligibility to serve as Su Han's guards.

Of course, it was only preliminary recognition.

To earn Ram's true approval, they must first truly possess strength.

"...... But! Speaking of the Eight Houses of the Dead."

Su Han's gaze flickered slightly—he suddenly remembered something.

After finishing the meal, Su Han returned to his room, his eyes instantly shifting into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan; with a slight turn, he entered the Kamui world.

The Kamui world was pitch-dark, with one odd-shaped lump of earth after another floating aimlessly in midair, as if weightless.

"Dark Acupoint Channel—erupt!"

Su Han formed a hand seal; terrifying darkness spread outward from his body, and in an instant, countless lumps of earth were blasted out.

Simultaneously, the bodies of several giant beasts appeared.

Steel Dragon, Yuan Emperor Eagle, Pan Emperor Rhinoceros—these three terrifying beings roared the moment they appeared.

But their auras were already extremely weak.

Su Han scanned them, his eyes twitching slightly.

He suddenly noticed all three were stained black, their eyes hazy and mad.

Especially Steel Dragon—upon appearing, he ignored Su Han entirely and went berserk, destroying the Kamui space.

"...... This is...... the Evil of This World."

Su Han's pupils shrank sharply—he had previously used the Dark-Dark Fruit to devour the Evil of This World.

The Dark-Dark Fruit leveled up, and Su Han assumed that was the limit.

He didn't pay it further attention.

But he hadn't expected the Dark Acupoint Channel space to change as well.

Clearly, anything swallowed into the Dark Acupoint Channel now endures not only the black hole's crushing pressure, but also the corruption of the Evil of This World.

Even if these three were once mighty, if Su Han did nothing...

in time, they would still meet only death.

"No... Pan Emperor Rhinoceros and Yuan Emperor Eagle are still manageable! Steel Dragon is completely insane—his mind is shattered."

Su Han's Observation Haki quickly probed further, and he gave the three giant beasts one deep look.

Without further ado, he stepped forward, his eyes instantly shifting into the Rinnegan.

"But... whether you've been corrupted by the Evil of This World is none of my concern! As long as you can be made into Summoned Beasts, that's enough."

This was also what Su Han had suddenly thought of upon seeing the Eight Houses of the Dead.

To be fair, these... beasts' power was far inferior to Su Han's.

But they were still sovereigns capable of rivaling Bijianda Sect Masters.

Taking them in would simplify many future tasks.

Steel Dragon, having been trapped longest, was utterly insane—he roared, first attacking Pan Emperor Rhinoceros and Yuan Emperor Eagle with frenzy; after being repelled by their combined force, he charged wildly toward Su Han.

Su Han said nothing, his palms covered in Armament Haki; in a single breath, he appeared before Steel Dragon and smashed a fist hard into its steel skull.

"Roar!"

A mournful cry rang out—Steel Dragon could not withstand it, his knees buckling to the ground as the steel armor shielding his head shattered into fragments.

Blood gushed profusely.

Su Han suddenly extended his hand, and a massive black staff condensed in the void, piercing through the Steel Dragon's body.

Wearing away its life force.

And continuously transforming it.

In just a few breaths, Su Han had finished the transformation.

The Steel Dragon suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils shifting into reincarnation eyes identical to Su Han's.

"...... What kind of technique is this?"

"Run! We must flee."

"That is a Saint corrupted by darkness—stronger even than the Four Saints of the Underground Caverns......"

Yuan Huang and Pan Huang had just appeared in this world, still dazed, for they had already expended all their strength resisting the corruption of this world's evil.

But now, seeing Su Han and the malformed Steel Dragon, they instantly understood.

Terror and confusion reached their peak.

All they could say was that Su Han had left them with overwhelming psychological trauma.

Before they could even move to escape, Su Han appeared instantly before them, striking them with a fist wrapped in Armament Haki, robbing them of all resistance.

Then, Su Han continued his creation, crafting two Emperor-grade Spirit Beasts.

"Not bad!"

Looking at the three obedient, Emperor-grade Spirit Beasts before him, their eyes glowing with reincarnation eyes, Su Han nodded slightly in satisfaction.

After becoming Spirit Beasts, all their past memories were erased by Su Han.

From now on, they had only one identity: Su Han's Spirit Beasts, bound to serve him.

But then, Su Han sighed with a touch of regret, "Too bad...... Only living beings can be turned into Spirit Beasts...... The dead can only become puppets!"

Su Han thought of the old Bai Hu he had stored in his system warehouse, and the two corpses of Emperor-grade ferocious beasts lying outside his door.

After careful consideration, he ultimately abandoned the idea of turning them into puppets.

Spirit Beasts, being alive, can follow Su Han's commands and attack autonomously.

But puppets are different.

Every movement of a puppet requires Su Han to expend his own power.

Su Han created Spirit Beasts precisely to save effort.

What's the point of making puppets?
