The more anxious Xia Xiao was, the more worried he became. Even though Hei Huang had promised before that he would not break his promise, Xia Xiao still felt that she would not help him so well. Although helping him to seal was also helping her magic from another perspective, after that, there was no relationship between them at all.
Xia Xiao didn't know how much time he spent absorbing the vital energy, nor did he know whether Heihuang would admit it or not, so when he was waiting for his answer, his eyes betrayed him.
"What if I don't want to help you right now?"
There was a smile on Heihuang's face, but there was no joking tone in his words, which made Xia Xiao unable to understand.
"You won't forget what you said."
"There are still more than forty days before the war begins. The Emperor Qishi is so close to breaking the seal. Do you really think you can turn the tide? Maybe the war will start when the seal is successfully sealed."
"It'll take a long time?"
"That's not the case. As long as you can bear it, it can be completed in a week. But if you can't hold on, you will be crushed immediately!"
"We can get through this if we grit our teeth. Besides, Master and the others must have made preparations. It's just that the Great Wilderness hasn't united yet, and there's no complete plan to fight the enemy. All I have to do is bring the news back so that everyone will take it seriously and unite!"
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of what you said? We are enemies."
Xia Xiao knew it, but he was not afraid of Hei Huang's gaze. He was not in danger of death because the brand was still on his body. So he looked tough, ready to withstand the impact and face the risk. But Hei Huang smiled, and it was unclear what he meant. She had everything she wanted now, so she had no reason to be unhappy, and even less reason to complain.
"Humph, I'm just teasing you. Even if you don't say these nonsense, I will still help you. Once you seal the mark, go back and tell everyone about our march plan. It would be best if we could gather all the practitioners in the Great Wilderness together. We are too lazy to search for every inch of land."
"So proud, do you think you have already won?"
"I like your personality, but what you said is not good. This is called confidence. Shouldn't I be like this?"
Hei Huang sat on the throne. After Bai Dun died, it became her property, following her around like a clingy pet. Hei Huang looked even more domineering when she sat on it. Every expression in the darkness seemed to show that she was in control of everything. At this moment, she placed her hands on the armrests and spoke with confidence:
"If it were just me, I really wouldn't be able to deal with the four major forces and the strongest people in the world, but don't forget, I have my ancestors and the Emperor Qishi. He also has grievances against you humans. Even if we don't have an alliance, there may be conflicts, but our directions are the same, we are all for revenge, which will allow us to slowly walk side by side. Who do you think will deal with the Emperor Qishi with the current strength of humans? Even if Qingxunzi goes, he must have a helper. In this case, who will deal with me and my ancestors? You obviously don't have enough manpower. Only Ningshen Academy is stronger. The Zoushou Church is small and weak, and the Adventurer's Guild is a bunch of scum, useless!"
"Those bald donkeys in Tanghua Temple have some skills, but they are isolated and helpless. They will die in the wilderness if they defend their positions. It's that simple. Our beginning is your end! There is another point, that is, there are so many demonic creatures. Every time we kill one, we become stronger. As long as the war starts, your losses will increase, but we will become stronger. Even if the demonic creatures are killed, they will be devoured by others. If this goes on repeatedly, this world will eventually be wiped out, and the wild beasts will be able to build a new home afterwards."
The more he heard such words, the more panicked Xia Xiao became. However, he firmly believed that the outcome would not be determined until the last moment, and he had a way to deal with Emperor Qishi. A head-on confrontation was obviously not a wise choice.
"It's still unclear who will win or lose, come on!"
"You're having a blast talking, but since you're in such a hurry, we can start right away. But you said you can get through it by gritting your teeth, so be careful not to break your teeth."
Xia Xiao's tongue circled around his mouth twice and he licked his teeth. It was not a big deal to bite it to pieces. The most important thing was to be able to get through it.
"Here?"
"Let's go to the Dark Forest Space. The demonic energy there is rampant, which will help suppress the mark."
Xia Xiao nodded, and before he took a step, he and Hei Huang were already in the blood mist. It was still the same paradise as before, but there were no four-year-olds, thirteen-year-olds, and twenty-year-olds. Xia Xiao took a look, recovered, and looked at Hei Huang again. They stood in the air, and before starting, Hei Huang said solemnly:
"This seal is divided into six parts, corresponding to the five elements and the whole. Because the brand is the connection between you and Yu Shangyan, the power in it will resist my magic during the sealing process, but I must crush it. As the bearer of the brand, you will suffer a very strong pain shock, but you must stay awake, otherwise it will be difficult to seal it."
Xia Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood. But after waiting for a long time, Hei Huang did not take any action, nor did he seem to be preparing.
"What are you doing?"
"I actually want to ask you a question."
"Then ask quickly, I'm in a hurry."
"Humph! You are so arrogant! Do you think you can leave after you seal it?"
"Just seal it. I don't want to stay for long anyway."
"You have an interesting mouth, but I'd better ask you later, so as not to delay the task entrusted to me by my ancestors."
"So you have the answer."
As soon as Xia Xiao said this, Hei Huang's face turned cold.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
After saying that, a demonic energy penetrated Xia Xiao's body, making him feel as if he was strung between heaven and earth, and he was stunned for a moment. However, when the demonic energy around him drilled into his body like a snake, he immediately began to resist, and the vitality and demonic energy in his body were activated together, bursting out a weak wave of air.
Although his strength had improved, how could Xia Xiao compare to Hei Huang? Almost four years had passed, and in front of Hei Huang's power, Xia Xiao was still so weak, without any power to resist.
Hei Huang was afraid of hurting Xia Xiao, so he did not forcefully suppress his power, but just said in a cold voice:
"If you're really in a hurry, don't move! These evil spirits will eventually be sealed and won't remain in your body."
Xia Xiao had no choice but to believe it. He had no other choice but to let it drill into his body. It was not a happy thing to have the strong demonic energy drill into his body, because the incompatible pain had made Xia Xiao sweat all over. Even though he had used Hei Huang's demonic energy before, he still felt familiar with it, but the pain was inevitable.
Hei Huang had already known about Xia Xiao's transformation. This was the first time she had seen someone who could turn the magic energy into a tree again. She couldn't help but admire him as a genius. If all the magicians in the world did the same, it would definitely cause a huge sensation, but she didn't know how to do it, and she didn't need to know how to do it now.
In front of the people of the Qingtian Sect, Heihuang has always said that if they win, they will get everything they want, and then they will be the masters of the Great Wilderness. But this is not true!
Hei Huang, who was closest to the ancestor, knew that the ancestor only wanted revenge, and the rise of the beast tribe was just the inevitable result of revenge. As for the creatures of the demonic path, except for her and the ancestor, they would all be destroyed, because this was the key to their becoming demons. This was like the game of snake, where the big snake ate the small snake, but what was waiting for the big snake were two Titan pythons.
This is Heihuang's idea, but only Quedan himself knows what he thinks.
The evil spirit that was traveling through Xia Xiao's body entered from his chest and went to his limbs and head. The right arm reshaped by Mu Xing was broken by the drilling of the evil spirit, and the left palm was also transformed into a piece of vine wood with only a rough shape in the blood mist, and fell on the Paradise Bone Stick.
The incomplete Xia Xiao looked extremely thin, but snake-like demonic energy appeared at his ankles, wrists and head. They seemed to grow in his flesh and blood, protecting him in a ring. Hei Huang was not that concerned about Xia Xiao, but was afraid of making a mistake. If Xia Xiao made a mistake, it might bury a hidden danger for him, so he had to be extra careful.
When the strange patterns formed by the demonic energy changed and became solid, Xia Xiao suddenly felt that the pain of muscle tearing and bone friction disappeared, leaving only soreness. This kind of painless blow made Xia Xiao very confident, but Hei Huang immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"This is just the beginning, are you ready?"
"Um."
Xia Xiao exhaled, clenched his teeth in the stench around him, and prepared himself. But when Hei Huang waved his right hand, a demonic energy went to Xia Xiao's back, causing him to scream.
At this moment, Xia Xiao's mind went blank, and he finally understood why Que Dan wanted him to reach the Cangtian Realm before placing the seal. Even if his strength improved, it would be difficult to withstand the pain brought by this seal.
Xia Xiao straightened his back, even bent backwards, and the brand on his back was forced out by the evil spirit at the cost of Xia Xiao's life. Xia Xiao then realized that the brand was so difficult to show up, and if he wanted to seal it, he had to force it out, and if he wanted to force it out, he had to threaten his own life.
Before the incident, Xia Xiao had never thought that the sealing method would be so barbaric. But the things done by the devil could never be gorgeous. The surrounding devil energy and the ring-shaped devil energy made Xia Xiao feel like he was placed at the gate of hell. There was nothing around him, but it was as if there were countless evil spirits hidden in the blood mist, coming to bite his body in the cold wind.
The intense pain brought by the demonic energy instantly became oppression, making Xia Xiao unable to open his mouth, and he just clenched his teeth. Hei Huang stood in front of Xia Xiao, and he stared at the latter, thinking about his unfulfilled revenge, stiffening his neck and enduring it. Looking at his fierce eyes, Hei Huang was not afraid, but just joked:
"This is just the Gold Seal, and it's not over yet, enjoy it slowly!"
Xia Xiao's stiff face turned blood red, and veins popped out on his forehead, but he curled his lips, as if he had quickly adapted to this kind of oppression. But just as Hei Huang said, the more fierce the magic energy is injected, the stronger the resistance of the brand will be. But no matter how strong it is, it must be suppressed to achieve the purpose of sealing. This is repeated, and Xia Xiao, as the recipient of the brand, has to endure the strong or weak sense of oppression until it is suppressed.
For Xia Xiao, oppression is much better than the sudden and violent pain. The feeling of being hit by thousands of arrows makes him unable to bear the roar even with the strongest willpower. But now his chaotic breathing gradually stabilizes, and he masters his own rhythm. Xia Xiao can't spend too much time, so he must complete the seal as quickly as possible, so he waits, waiting for Hei Huang to complete the gold seal.
