Watching Qing Cang leave, Han Xingliu imdiately couldn't wait to ask: "Your Excellency Lu Huai, what exactly is the situation? Why did the Bronze Sect put you under house arrest?"
Lu Huai's eyes flickered, sowhat hesitating about whether he should speak of this matter.
"Is it really because of that Dual Divine Dawn?" Seeing Lu Huai hesitate, Han Xingliu didn't give him a chance to cover it up, asking directly.
Seeing Lu Huai show hesitation rather than shock or bewildernt, the few of them already understood in their hearts.
"You two." Li Qingyi suddenly interrupted, speaking bluntly: "Since Senior Brother Lu Huai is safe and sound, you two may leave."
No matter what had happened, she didn't want to let the Royal Court know easily.
"Venerable." King Peng's gaze was deep. "According to the transaction between the Emperor and the Xuantian Ancient King, the Profound Heaven Instrunt should be at the Royal Court right now."
"Earlier, the Bronze Sect intercepted the Profound Heaven Instrunt from our hands. Although we were angry, we exercised restraint and expressed understanding. But respect should be mutual."
Li Qingyi remained silent. Lu Huai smiled bitterly: "Venerable, you all have your guesses. It's just a matter of confirming it with one sentence."
Hearing this, Li Qingyi's expression changed slightly: "That Dual Divine Dawn was really catalyzed from the Profound Heaven Instrunt?"
King Peng and Han Xingliu also looked straight over.
Lu Huai nodded helplessly: "That's right. I don't know how it happened either, but the Profound Heaven Instrunt actually did it."
Hearing Lu Huai personally admit it, Li Qingyi's expression beca sowhat dazed.
Because of Lu Huai losing contact, the Xuantian Ancient King had personally intervened regarding the matter that the Bronze Sect's Dual Divine Dawn was highly likely catalyzed by the Profound Heaven Instrunt.
Even the Xuantian Ancient King didn't quite believe it, but they truly couldn't find any other explanation. Now that Lu Huai confird it...
"The Profound Heaven Instrunt can actually do this?" King Peng's heart trembled. The Research Institute's thoughts were indeed correct; this Profound Heaven Instrunt was the final piece of the puzzle.
"Who is that person?" Han Xingliu couldn't wait to know the answer. A few people from the Bronze Sect flashed through his mind.
Shen Yi'an, Li Guanting, Xiang Zhou.
Since it was confird to be catalyzed, it was probably only possible among these Star-Amber Grades.
Li Qingyi gathered her thoughts, also sowhat curious.
eting their gazes, Lu Huai spat out two words: "Su Chen."
Su Chen!
Han Xingliu's face uncontrollably sank, his cheek twitching. This person transforming into a Dual Divine Dawn was the last thing he wanted to see.
His final bit of psychological advantage vanished entirely.
He couldn't even be certain if the Research Institute could also transform him into a Dual Divine Dawn.
He couldn't help but ask: "The Profound Heaven Instrunt has never catalyzed a Divine Dawn talent in the past. Why was Su Chen able to do it?"
"That I wouldn't know. As for this Profound Heaven Instrunt, I am rely its user." Lu Huai shook his head.
Han Xingliu was still unwilling to accept this: "Then did he bring anything with him when he went in?"
Lu Huai frowned and said helplessly: "You two, I have said all I should say. I am truly quite fatigued right now. Let's discuss other matters another day."
King Peng frowned and asked: "Then when does Your Excellency plan to head to the Royal Court?"
"This matter should wait for now." Lu Huai shook his head. Li Qingyi also chid in, "This matter must be reported to the Ancient King. We will discuss it after reporting."
King Peng's expression wasn't very good.
Han Xingliu, on the other hand, was sowhat impatient. "Borrowing the Profound Heaven Instrunt was sothing the Xuantian Ancient King and my father agreed upon long ago. How can you two go back on your word?"
He was sowhat losing his composure, truly stimulated by the situation of Su Chen transforming into a Dual Divine Dawn.
"Xingliu, let's go." King Peng interrupted. The current situation was no longer what it was before; saying more was useless.
Han Xingliu took a deep breath, also realizing he had lost his composure. Gradually calming down, he said "Pardon the offense," and followed King Peng out of the room.
Only after these two left did Li Qingyi ask: "Did that Su Chen have the assistance of other thods?"
"None. He didn't carry anything with him before going in, and inside the Profound Heaven Instrunt, it's impossible to open a spatial storage." Lu Huai was also truly helpless. "For now, it's better to report this matter to the Ancient King as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid the Profound Heaven Instrunt will be targeted by quite a few people."
Su Chen transforming into a Dual Divine Dawn talent was certainly astonishing, but as the item that facilitated this transformation, the Profound Heaven Instrunt would probably draw even more attention.
Boom!
In the Training Room, golden electrical arcs road around Su Chen's body like living creatures. When they burst, they sent fine motes of light flying. His exposed arms gradually revealed a glass-like texture, through which the outline of his bones could be seen.
Boom! Boom!
The surrounding thunder rumbled continuously, carrying a certain profound rhythm. When it sounded, his Psionic Power expanded, scattering a hazy mist; when it fell, his Psionic Power contracted.
【6th-Tier Shocking Thunder Bone Body Tempering Technique - Entry: 1%】
【6th-Tier Nine Heavens Thunder Sound ditation thod - Entry: 1%】
Just as Su Chen had grasped the basics of the newly obtained Body Tempering and ditation thods, he received a notification from the smart system.
"Lao Qing arrived this quickly? It's only been a few hours, right?"
Glancing at the popped-up Virtual Screen, Su Chen walked out of the Training Room. Just as he approached the port, Lao Qing's figure entered his sight.
Before he could even greet him, he heard Qing Cang ask directly: "Why do you suddenly want to use Evil God's Blood?"
Perhaps to show that he wasn't asking purely out of excessive curiosity, Qing Cang added, "Evil God's Blood is obtained from Evil Gods and has various bizarre aspects. Rashly approaching it might affect you. It's not that I want to interrogate you."
Su Chen shook his head: "Senior Brother, I have directly faced the trial of the Evil God Power and can purify Mist Embers. This Evil God's Blood shouldn't have any impact on ."
Qing Cang paused slightly: "Even so..."
Before he could finish, Su Chen continued, "The reason I want to use this Evil God's Blood is because after returning from transforming into the Divine Dawn talent that day, I tried igniting Morning Fire, but unexpectedly made a discovery..."
"Igniting Morning Fire?" Before he could finish, Qing Cang interrupted in astonishnt, "You can ignite Morning Fire now?"
"Yeah." Su Chen was sowhat puzzled.
"You..." Qing Cang's eyes were strange. According to his understanding, even a Divine Dawn talent would have to reach the 7th-Tier to withstand the consumption of Divine Fire.
However, when he thought about Su Chen's strength, he didn't seem as surprised. Steadying himself, he finally reacted, "You said you accidentally discovered sothing when igniting Morning Fire?"
"Desire. My body seems to desire Morning Fire. To be more precise, it might be sothing hidden within my body..." Su Chen guided him pointedly.
"Desires Morning Fire?" Qing Cang's eyes flickered, and as expected, he thought of it: "Could it be the spirituality of the Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted within your body?"
Su Chen nodded: "I had that guess too, but I can't withstand the consumption of Morning Fire myself. So I wanted to use Divine Blood as fuel to let the Morning Fire burn longer and see what exactly happens."
Qing Cang looked deep in thought. Su Chen's situation was indeed unheard of and couldn't be judged by past experiences.
What impact the integration of spirituality and the Chosen would bring, no one could say for sure.
However, since Su Chen had a need, and Master had instructed him to cooperate...
After weighing the options, Qing Cang said: "Since that's the case, then you may try it."
He reached into the void and pulled out a fist-sized black tal box. Its edges were distinct, like cut obsidian, and its surface was so smooth it could reflect people. On the dark tal base, pale golden patterns flowed, sotis gathering into starlight, sotis scattering into a dense network.
So Lao Qing had prepared it long ago? Su Chen was surprised inwardly and reached out to take it.
Pinched in Qing Cang's hand, this thing offered so resistance. Su Chen tugged at it calmly before Lao Qing let go.
"Do you want to watch from the side?" Qing Cang asked hesitantly.
Su Chen was speechless and shook his head: "No need for now, Senior Brother. I know what I'm doing."
"Alright." Seeing Su Chen's firm attitude, Qing Cang didn't force it. "If any accident occurs, tell imdiately. Also, after you finish consuming it, I will co to inspect your body to see if there is any residual Evil God Power."
He reminded him. Ever since their Master was hard by an Evil God, the Bronze Sect had been strictly guarding against Evil Gods.
"No problem." Su Chen naturally wasn't afraid.
When Qing Cang left, he was still sowhat uneasy. Every ti he turned his head, he saw Su Chen waving his hand forcefully outside, leaving him speechless in his heart.
"When Divine Blood is uncontrolled, it has no might. With Su Chen's situation, he should be fine."
"Easier than I imagined." Seeing Qing Cang off, Su Chen appeared sowhat impatient and imdiately entered the Nether Tower.
Carefully opening the box in his hand, a drop of pitch-black, profound fresh blood floated out, imdiately causing ripples in the surroundings.
"It's you again, Lao Hei. We really have fate with each other."
With a sweeping glance, Su Chen could already tell the origin of this Divine Blood; it was none other than his old friend, Black Buddha.
Based on his fragnted understanding, the Evil God's Blood in the Sects was basically accumulated over many years, obtained from the lairs of Evil God Cultists one by one.
There was also a special source, which was Lesser Evil Gods. But Lesser Evil Gods in the Nether Realm were extrely rare, and Great Eldritch Gods wanted to turn them into Divine Sons.
The Sects and the Royal Court, on the other hand, treated them as raw materials. One Lesser Evil God could yield ten to twenty drops of Divine Blood.
The Sect's stored Divine Blood was a secret, but Su Chen estimated that the Sect probably didn't lack it too much, otherwise they couldn't have casually requisitioned a drop.
He reached out, trying to touch the drop of Divine Blood before him.
As soon as he touched it, the Divine Blood vanished abruptly, and text surfaced on the Status Panel—
【The Unsullied discovered Divine Blood and attempted to analyze it. Its internal genetic fragnts are mixed and interspersed with the Power of Faith.】
【The Unsullied spat it out. If analyzing using Evil God's Blood, more cross-verification is needed.】
Spat it out? Su Chen looked at the drop of Black Buddha's Blood reappearing before him, deep in thought: "It can be used, but the quantity isn't enough."
Su Chen wasn't entirely surprised. Divine Blood was clearly different from regular Bright Moon Tier blood. "As long as it can be used. There are far too many channels to obtain this thing."
Just as he was preparing to put this drop of Divine Blood away, the Status Panel reacted again, but this ti it wasn't from The Unsullied—
【The Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted opened its eyes, frowning. A wisp of Purple Fla spread from its body, seemingly attracted by the Divine Blood.】
What's the situation?
Looking at the text on the Status Panel, Su Chen couldn't help but be astonished. The Purple Fla should be that Sunless Embers. After it fused into the Great Exalted's body previously, he thought it had disappeared for good.
It seed there were still faint remnants, and it was attracted by the Divine Blood. Did it also want to use it as fuel?
What could it do by acting as fuel?
Su Chen had guesses in his heart. After a brief hesitation, with a thought, he felt his body grow sowhat warm. A wisp of Purple Fla floated out of his body. It was very thin, only the size of a hair.
If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to even see.
But the mont it touched the Divine Blood, this Purple Fla acted as if oil had been poured on it.
Boom! It ignited completely. Surging Purple Flas rushed toward him, enveloping Su Chen within.
"This f*cking..."
Su Chen's heart jolted, instinctively raising his guard, only to find that his body felt no pain. Instead, a rather familiar feeling rose up.
His Psionic Power began to be consud, and the grey-white earth spread beneath his feet.
"Have I entered the Nether Realm?" Realizing this, Su Chen looked down at his body, which was enveloped by Purple Flas.
There was still a shadow on the ground, flickering unsteadily. In the Nether Realm, there were very few places where one could see their own shadow.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed the colors of his surroundings were also a bit off. Not only was there no drifting Nether Mist, but a calm purple glow perated the area.
"Why does this look like an area covered by Starfire..."
Feeling sothing, Su Chen looked up abruptly, his pupils shrinking instantly. Purple dots of light reflected in his eyes. Above in the Firmant, there was shockingly a boundless cluster of Purple Fla.
"Could this... be that Lost Starfire?"
Su Chen stared blankly. The blinding flare made him involuntarily squint his eyes.
The manifestation of the Bronze Sect's Starfire in the Nether Realm, purely in terms of visual size, was far from reaching this extent. This thing almost took up his entire field of vision.
"How big is this thing in reality..."
He looked up, then looked around. The grey-white earth extended to the end of his vision. Barren mountains, depressions, and ravines were visible at a glance. Wherever the Starfire covered, the Nether Mist could only stay far away.
"It's said that Qin Yun and the others previously ca near the Lost Starfire through the Nether Realm."
Su Chen looked at the Purple Fla burning on his arm. "This Sunless Embers could bring directly here..."
"This thing..." Su Chen looked at the Purple Fla above his head again. It was said that there was so Sunless Spirit inside, but he still knew the phrase 'riding a horse to death to reach a seen mountain.' This thing looked close, but he didn't know how far the actual distance was. Moreover, the current situation was truly bizarre. Out of the six Morning Star Tiers who entered previously, four died and one was heavily injured; he didn't dare try it easily.
According to what Qing Cang relayed from Hao Ri, this Lost Starfire also had so tidal pattern. When Qin Yun and the others entered previously, it was during the "Extinguishing Phase," which was why they could enter.
Now it was in the "Waxing Phase"; even a Bright Moon Tier would find it hard to approach. One had to use so bizarre thod to attempt entry.
However, just as he was calculating in his heart, he found that the Purple Fla on his body gradually began to rise and stretch, as if drawn by sothing.
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily ran outward, only to find that the flas on his body were still steadfastly spreading upward. "This Sunless Embers... it's not trying to drag in there, is it?"
He hesitated sowhat, instinctively wanting to leave the Nether Realm. However...
"I can't leave?" Su Chen's expression changed slightly. Within these flas, his connection with reality seed to have been severed.
"Forced buying and selling?" This situation made him even more resistant. Just as he was about to question the Great Exalted, he found that the Purple Fla on his body was gradually dimming, as if it were about to extinguish.
A faint, blazing heat assaulted from all around. In an instant, it left his mouth parched and his body drenched in sweat.
