How could a Xuanwu tainted by blood and qi possess any consciousness?
It only knew that it would attack and absorb the powerful energy of the person in front of it, an energy that had a fatal allure, and its eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of white mist.
Xuanwu only knew that it was in a pitch-black cave, with dark red grass growing on the cave walls and a thick fog all around. It could see nothing and hear nothing.
It was only concerned with repeatedly pulling away the sharp thorns under its feet. Those thorns seemed to be impossible to get rid of, constantly scraping against its body. Its flesh was being bitten little by little by those thorns, and its body was already covered with bloodstains that were too unsightly to look at.
How could Xuanwu's cultivation level compare to the pure and genuine aura of a demonic beast? It couldn't see its own future at all. Xuanwu seemed to be trapped in those cages of sin formed by blood energy. It couldn't get out, and perhaps it didn't want to get out.
This extremely troublesome blood energy is indeed different from that of the surrounding area. This blood energy carries a strong sense of resentment, and it is like those ghosts, baring their teeth and crying and shouting in their ears.
They need to constantly amplify the fear in their hearts, and then, along with that fear, they generate power to erode themselves.
Inside Xuanwu's coffin, Xie Zhou suffered considerable erosion from the blood energy, and her body gradually lost its strength. She was almost completely taken over by the blood energy, as if she were a puppet on strings.
Fortunately, he activated his powerful mental energy to preserve half of his mind, constantly reminding himself to calm down. There was simply too much of this blood energy, and it frequently raged within the Xuanwu's tomb. The Xuanwu itself was extremely powerful, and this blood energy, nourished by the Xuanwu's aura, had become incredibly potent. Xie Zhou's powerful mental energy could only block a portion of it.
However, seeing Xuanwu might awaken his rationality.
Seeing its host in such a dilemma, the system couldn't help but feel a chill run down its spine.
If Xie Zhou continues like this, the blood energy will eventually completely devour her. She must get rid of this blood energy immediately. However, the system keeps testing the blood energy and finds that it is simply difficult to deal with. It cannot think of any way to stop it, let alone eliminate it. It is simply a pipe dream.
The system hurriedly spoke loudly in Xie Zhou's mind, hoping that she could have more strength and not be easily controlled by these blood energies.
"Host! Host! Wake up! This blood energy is abnormal, but your strength is immeasurable. Host, you can't afford to mess up now. Unleash all the moves you've learned!"
But Xie Zhou seemed unable to see or hear any of this at this moment. She had already adapted to the waves of pain in her body, but the demonic power brought by the blood energy invading her body made Xie Zhou gasp. This kind of thing could easily destroy her spiritual power, and she had to get rid of it.
Xie Zhou began to focus on awakening Xuanwu's remnant soul. Xuanwu's condition was not much better; it had long lost its former glory. After all, Qinglong had a handsome appearance before, unlike Xuanwu, which was in such a sorry state.
Xie Zhou seemed to be in pain as well, but she continued to use her spiritual power to invade her Dead Sea, trying to regain a trace of his remaining divine consciousness. However, there were always those blood energies blocking his way for no reason, and her spiritual power could not penetrate them.
She unconsciously bit her lower lip, so much so that it drew blood, the little specks of crimson highlighting her fair complexion.
Xie Zhou frowned deeply. Her clothes began to turn blood-red, all from the blood energy attacking her. For some reason, this blood energy would always come back to erode her every now and then. Xie Zhou wanted to take advantage of this gap to accelerate the awakening of Xuanwu's remnant soul.
"Xuanwu... Xuanwu, wake up! Abandon these distracting thoughts! Xuanwu, you are an ancient magical beast, a powerful being who suppressed all sides. Are you really going to be defeated by these mere blood energies? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by future generations? Wake up! Wake up...!"
However, after several attempts, it still had no effect. Instead, it became even more violent, teetering on the edge of exploding. Xuanwu kept attacking Xie Zhou. She was busy dealing with these attacks while also using her spiritual power to communicate with Xuanwu's remnant soul. Sometimes, blood energy would also come to cause trouble. She was really too busy to handle anything.
Xie Zhou gritted his teeth, wanting to summon his contracted pets, but this space was strange, and Xie Zhou dared not take the risk. He feared that the blood energy would quickly devour the rationality of those divine creatures.
Xie Zhou's divine sense finally opened up Xuanwu's world a little, but he found that he could not see anything. He was surrounded by a blood mist, and Xuanwu's cries could be heard in the mist. Xie Zhou then realized that Xuanwu was suffering from the torment of this blood energy in this place, which was why it activated the external defense measures. Opening the barrier was to let the blood energy inadvertently go out and harm others.
"Roar...roar..."
With a painful groan, Xie Zhou couldn't bear to harm Xuanwu's remnant soul, so he passively accepted Xuanwu's attacks. Unexpectedly, there was still black energy constantly surrounding it in its consciousness, and Xie Zhou kept dodging it.
"Xuanwu... Xuanwu... I've come to save you. Let go of your pain, the past is the past. Let go of those things, calm your heart. They were all illusions. Xuanwu, wake up! Have you forgotten? You are a powerful ancient demon beast!"
"Where is your dignity? Is this all you've got? Come out! Come out! Defeat your inner demons, all that hot blood means nothing..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xie Zhou suddenly heard a scream, and a large amount of blood rushed toward his face.
"Ah ah..."
At the critical moment, Xie Zhou dared not give up. She could see that Xuanwu was resisting the parasitic blood energy on its body. It was moving its limbs in pain, and something seemed to be awakening in its chest, gradually throbbing.
She knew that Xuanwu had changed, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart. Just as she was about to continue speaking, the surrounding blood energy, like ghosts, swarmed around Xie Zhou, intending to engulf him. The air around Xie Zhou became increasingly thin, and the blood energy continuously tightened its grip, tightly binding Xie Zhou. Xie Zhou's mental energy was also being attacked by the blood energy.
"puff……"
Perhaps Xie Zhou didn't expect to be so pathetic in this place, like a chicken being beaten down by those bloodthirsty people, with some blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
But she wouldn't give up easily. Finally, she shouted, "Xuanwu, return!"
