Chapter 402: A Drop of Blood



Li Xiu was silent. His seemingly calm face but the emotions brewing in his eyes betrayed his inner world.

When his sister said that she might have found the way home, Li Xiu was happy for her, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

It was actually because of Li Xiu's own reasons that his sister fell into the president's trap and put herself in danger.

"President, everyone has his own position and destiny, just like wolves eat sheep and sheep eat grass. Whether what you do is good or bad, even if it is calculated against me, I have no complaints. Because for you, you just did what you need to do. Whether I can survive or not is my own business, and I can't blame anyone else." Li Xiu looked at the president and said slowly.

The president exclaimed: "Your personality is actually more suitable for my world. Maybe you can do better than me. It's a pity that the progress of this world was interrupted by me. Now you have absorbed the Soul-Suppressing Stone. It is difficult for the world to continue to evolve completely. And I have no other choice but to let you be my key, otherwise I can't go back."

"That doesn't matter. You are smart and capable enough. Even if you take my life, I won't have any complaints. But you shouldn't plot against my sister. She is more precious than my life." Li Xiu stared at the president and said slowly.

"So what?" The president looked at Li Xiu and said.

"So I want to try to solve this problem with my own hands." Li Xiu said, the purple fluorescence on his body blooming, and he punched the president in front of him.

The president stretched out his hand to meet Li Xiu's fist, and a terrifying force suddenly exploded between the two of them, destroying everything within a hundred miles.

The city of light behind him disappeared the moment Li Xiu threw his punch. The entire city disappeared out of thin air in such a strange way.

Inside the giant pit, the president, who was already a very thin old man, turned into a muscular freak, with sunken wrinkles all over his body.

He grabbed Li Xiu's fist with one hand. The fist, which contained the light of the evil spirits of life and death, was caught in his palm and could not move forward at all.

"I have been studying the power of this world. I have to say that this is a very magical world, completely different from the world I was trapped in before. Each trial field has completely different characteristics. Through training in different trial fields, humans can have characteristics that do not originally belong to themselves. This is a very strange thing. Those trial fields clearly have signs of being artificially created, but I have studied them for a long time and still cannot figure out what kind of existence created those trial fields. It seems that they are automatically derived from this world."

"Among the many trial fields, some have characteristics that even amaze me, including the Purgatory Trial Field. The characteristics it possesses are very rare even in my world." The president said as he suddenly exerted force, and with the palm of his hand that was grabbing Li Xiu's fist, he lifted Li Xiu's body up and threw him directly into the sky.

Li Xiu's body soared into the sky like a cannonball, and the friction with the air formed a comet-like tail flame, which instantly broke through the atmosphere and entered space.

The next moment, the president's body also broke through the atmosphere and came into space. He looked at Li Xiu and continued, "Unfortunately, the characteristics given to you by the trial field are only the most primitive form, and they are too weak and small. If you can reach my world and continue to evolve with this primitive characteristic, you may be able to do something. But now, you are too weak, so weak that you can't even see my fist."

As he spoke, the president seemed not to move at all, but a terrifying force exploded in front of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu, who had just stabilized his body, flew out again and kept gliding in the space. It was not known how far he went before he stopped.

"Huh!" The president appeared not far away from Li Xiu with a strange look on his face.

Li Xiu crossed his arms in front of him, the robe on his arms was torn, and a fist mark was left on his muscles.

Although Li Xiu was injured, he obviously consciously blocked the president's punch, which surprised the president.

You have to know that the speed of the president's punching was enough to make the peerless Lao Xie suffer a great loss at the beginning. He was unable to keep up with his speed and couldn't even see his punches.

"You're right. I really can't see you punching. In fact, even if I saw it, I can't keep up with your speed. But even if I can't keep up with your speed, it doesn't mean that I can't predict your behavior." Li Xiu put down his arm. Bloody patterns spread on his arm, and forbidden flowers bloomed. His injured arm was directly repaired by the forbidden flowers, and the forbidden flowers turned into flower armor.

After absorbing the Soul-Suppressing Stone, not only Li Xiu's body was strengthened, but even the Evil Spirit Card and the Forbidden Spear were further strengthened under the effect of the Soul-Suppressing Stone, becoming stronger and more flexible than before.

The president exclaimed: "Generally, prediction is based on a gap of one. Your speed is so slow. Theoretically, even if you can predict my behavior, you can't block my fist. It can be seen that the Soul-Suppressing Stone has indeed brought you a great improvement. This is after you have just absorbed the Soul-Suppressing Stone. Once it continues to work in your body, it will only be a matter of time before you break through to the peerless realm or even a higher realm."

Li Xiu said nothing and did not refute the president's words, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Li Xiu knew that ordinary power could not hurt the president at all. Fortunately, due to the suppression of the world, the president's perception ability in this world was not strong. The invisibility ability brought to Li Xiu by the Ultimate Light was one of the important means for him to defeat the president.

Li Xiu's figure disappeared and approached the president, but when he was about to get close to the president, the president's body disappeared out of thin air before his eyes.

Li Xiu immediately looked around, but did not see the president, and could not help but frown.

After absorbing the Soul-Suppressing Stone, Li Xiu's ability to perceive this world could be said to be no less than Jue Shi's, but he couldn't actually sense where the president was.

"This is an ability I learned in the previous prison world. Although it is just a small trick, anyone with a little ability in that world can see through it. However, due to the difference between the two worlds, you cannot see through this power." The president's voice sounded in the void of space: "It's ironic that I can't use my real power, but I can use this ability from the small world. I can only say that the world is so wonderful that powerful power may not be suitable for all environments."

Li Xiu quietly sensed the source of the sound, but still could not determine the president's location.

It's better now. Both of them are invisible to each other. For a moment, the battle seems to have come to a stalemate and no one can do anything to the other.

Bang!

Li Xiu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and his body flew out like a meteor and hit a meteorite, smashing it into pieces. His body continued to move, breaking one meteorite after another, and finally crashed into a planet, creating a big hole in the rocky ground of the planet.

"You are still too young." The president's voice seemed to ring right in Li Xiu's ears.

Suddenly, Li Xiu's figure was exposed and he no longer had to hide himself.

"Are you giving up so soon?" said the president.

"Even if you see me, can you kill me?" Li Xiu said indifferently.

The president smiled and said, "You are right. Even if I can kill you, I won't. Whether you are invisible or not is meaningless to me. So, are you planning to play rogue?"

"You can sense my location through the evil spirit in my body. Even if I continue to be invisible, it will be meaningless." Li Xiu said. He used the invisibility of the Ultimate Light to test what the president said before. Now it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

The president appeared not far in front of Li Xiu and said with a smile: "Now you should understand that your life is in my hands. There is no point in you fighting me."

The moment Li Xiu confirmed that there was indeed a connection between the evil spirit in his body and the president, he already understood it.

The timing chosen by the president was really good. The young demon spirit could be said to have grown up together with Li Xiu. The young demon spirit also absorbed a part of the various benefits and powers that Li Xiu obtained, and even the spirit-suppressing stone was the same.

When he was promoted to the status of god, Li Xiu already knew that the young demon spirit had already merged into every cell of his body, and it was almost impossible to separate it.

"So you can't kill me, and you have to help me advance to the peerless level." Li Xiu said.

The president knew what Li Xiu meant, and narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you want to threaten me by stopping my practice? If that was before you absorbed the Soul-Suppressing Stone, I really couldn't do anything to you. But now it's too late, you have already absorbed the Soul-Suppressing Stone. Even if you don't continue to practice, the power of the Soul-Suppressing Stone will continue to catalyze your body, it's just that your promotion time will be delayed. I have waited for so many years, I don't care about such a short time."

"What if I die?" Li Xiu stared at the president and said slowly.

"Of course you can choose to die, that's your right." The president said with a smile, "But the death you know has no effect on me. You who have absorbed the Soul-Suppressing Stone are equivalent to the origin of the world. You can erase your own consciousness, but you can't destroy the origin of this world, unless you drag the whole world to be buried with you. Don't say that you don't have that kind of power now. Even if you have the power to destroy the world, would you do that?"

"Even if your consciousness dies, your body will still remain and will continue to evolve until it reaches my requirements. It will not have any effect on me. On the contrary, it will be easier. A dead person is always easier to control than a living one."

Li Xiu remained silent, he knew that what the president said was not false. After absorbing the Soul-Suppressing Stone, Li Xiu clearly felt that his body was becoming more and more closely connected with this world.

"You don't need to keep wasting your time here with me. If you have any wishes or unfinished business, just go and fulfill them." After the president said this, he disappeared in a flash, at a speed that was difficult to understand.

Li Xiu did not chase after the president, but just watched him leave.

Li Xiu did not give up. Although the battle was short, he had already gotten the answer he wanted. Although it was difficult, he would not give up.

Li Xiu's mind moved, and the light on his body flashed. The next second, he was back on Earth. This was due to Bu'er's space teleportation. After receiving Bu'er's energy, he could already use this power.

Li Xiu did not return to the City of Light, but went to the Sea of ​​Sky.

The Sky Sea, which was originally like a divine realm, now looks a bit dilapidated. Not only was the Sky Sea Palace destroyed, but those god-level monsters were also seriously injured. The unicorn monster was missing a front hoof, and when it saw Li Xiu, its eyes suddenly turned bloodshot and anger was gushing out of its nose.

If Li Xiu Rangbu'er hadn't died, Tianzhihai wouldn't have become like this.

"Let him come over." A voice came from Tianhai Peak. The unicorn demon spirit glared at Li Xiu hatefully and made way for him.

Li Xiu flew to Tianhai Peak and saw Lao Xie sitting on a collapsed stone pillar. Although his white clothes were still clean as new, his face looked very bad and there was a dark aura about him.

Li Xiu was a little surprised that the president did not kill Lao Xie. He originally came here to find Bellona and the others, but he did not expect that Lao Xie was still alive.

"Do you know why Li Boyang didn't kill me?" Lao Xie said slowly, as if he had seen through Li Xiu's thoughts.

But his voice sounded very weak and he was gasping for breath, like a seriously ill old man who might die at any moment.

"Why?" Li Xiu asked.

"Because I am a living being in this world." Lao Xie said bitterly.

Although the words were incoherent, Li Xiu understood them. Lao Xie was one of the four evil spirits. For this world, he was a very important creature.

If Lao Xie is killed by the president, the president will be rejected and suppressed even more severely by this world.

"Li Boyang's goal has never been to kill." Li Xiu sighed inwardly, looking at Lao Xie and said, "Can you tell me who the missing one of the four evil spirits is?"

"Why do you want to know about it?" Lao Xie asked Li Xiu in surprise.

Li Xiu did not hide anything and told the story about the young demon spirit in his body.

"It's not unfair that I lost. I planned to deal with him for so many years and almost exhausted all my energy. But he still had the mind to plan so many things, but I still lost. It's not unfair that I lost. It's really not unfair." Lao Xie had a bitter face. He said that he didn't lose unfairly, but it was obvious that he was unwilling to accept it.

After a long silence, Lao Xie continued, "The one inside you should be the Devouring Spirit among the four evil spirits."

Li Xiu was not interested in the name of the evil spirit. He just wanted to know what abilities the evil spirit possessed and whether there was any way to separate it from the body.

Although Li Xiu also knew that the hope was certainly slim, it was better to know something than to know nothing.

Old Evil naturally knew what Li Xiu wanted, so he continued, "Although we, the four evil spirits, are the same as the sixteen ancestral spirits, and are the first batch of creatures born from the Soul-Suppressing Stone, we are somewhat different. The sixteen ancestral spirits were purely born from the Soul-Suppressing Stone, but we were not born entirely because of the Soul-Suppressing Stone."

“In fact, we were born after the Soul-Suppressing Stone was polluted. In a sense, the Four Evil Spirits were not originally part of the first batch of creatures bred by the Soul-Suppressing Stone. It was only because the Soul-Suppressing Stone wanted to expel the contaminated parts that we were born.” Lao Xie said.

"What has contaminated the Soul-Suppressing Stone?" Li Xiu was a little surprised that something like the Soul-Suppressing Stone, the origin of the world, could actually be contaminated.

"A drop of blood." Lao Xie said.

"Whose blood is it?" Li Xiu was even more surprised. A drop of blood could actually contaminate the Soul-Suppressing Stone and give birth to the four evil spirits. It was hard to imagine what kind of life form's blood could do such a thing.

What is certain is that the drop of blood should not be the president's. Long before he went to the Zhenling Palace, the four evil spirits had already been suppressed in the Zhenling Stone.

“I don’t know.” Lao Xie smiled bitterly, “We are just creatures born from that drop of blood and the Soul-Suppressing Stone. After all, we are their children. How can we know who that drop of blood belongs to? You can ask Bellona and the others. They were born before us and may know something, but they are unwilling to tell us.”

Li Xiu nodded and asked directly: "Since the four evil spirits were born from the same drop of blood, you should be very clear about the ability of the Devouring Spirit, right? Is there any way to separate the Devouring Spirit from my body?"

“I’m afraid I can’t help you either.” Lao Xie shook his head and said, “Although the four evil spirits were born from the same drop of blood, their abilities are different. Moreover, the Devouring Spirit is also a very special existence among the four evil spirits. We don’t know much about it.”

Li Xiu frowned slightly: "We were both born from the same drop of blood, why is Soul Devourer so special?"

"This is a question of bloodline. We were all born from that drop of blood, but the proportions of our bloodlines are different. The bloodlines of me and the other two evil spirits all come mostly from the Soul-Suppressing Stone. In essence, we are closer to the sixteen ancestral spirits. But the Devouring Spirit is different. Its bloodline is more inclined towards that drop of blood. If the bloodline of that drop of blood is calculated as a percentage, the three of us together may only account for 20%, or even less; the Devouring Spirit itself accounts for 80%, so we are actually very different." said Lao Xie.

"So that's how it is." Li Xiu now wanted to know more urgently where that drop of blood came from.

Perhaps only the Sixteen Ancestral Spirits knew the answer to this question. Li Zhengxing wanted to ask Lao Xie how he could meet the Sixteen Ancestral Spirits, when he saw a big gate suddenly appear in the sky. It was the Gate to the Sea of ​​Sky.

An enchanting figure walked out from the slowly opening door. It was Bellona.

Bellona walked up to Li Xiu, looked at him solemnly and said, "I heard everything you said. Is the Devouring Soul really in your body?"

Li Xiu nodded, and Bellona sighed, "That's troublesome."

"Do you know who the drop of blood that contaminated the Soul-Suppressing Stone came from?" Li Xiu asked Bellona.

Lao Xie also looked at Bellona. He also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I know." Bellona said with a strange look, "That drop of blood came from a human."
