#418 - Xinyan's Disaster and Opportunity
The deepest layer of the Avici Hell was a massive prison.
The ground was empty, with rusty chains everywhere, covered in fragments of grayish-white, decaying bones—remnants of ancient gods and demons.
These items were all dim, decaying, and broken, long reduced to waste by the erosion of time.
"Ugh…"
Just then, Xin Yan suddenly clutched her chest, feeling a surge of palpitations and longing, instinctively driving her towards the pile of bone fragments, picking up a palm-sized piece.
This bone fragment seemed unremarkable at first glance, but dark demonic energy surged from Xin Yan's palm, sinking into the bone.
Instantly, the bone fragment glowed, and countless demonic runes appeared, as if carrying the ultimate secrets of the heavens, obscure and complex, making anyone who glanced at them feel dizzy, as if another look would lead to their downfall.
The moment Xin Yan activated the bone fragment, her eyes glazed over, and her body froze in place.
Countless demonic runes flooded into her sea of consciousness, accompanied by wisps of subtle yet terrifying resentment!
"Heh heh heh… After eons of slumber, I never expected to encounter someone with my demon clan's bloodline!"
"Such pure and rich demon god's blood…"
"No! This isn't someone from my demon clan… But that no longer matters!"
"I want to devour her!"
"All of you, get out of here! This body is mine! Mine!!"
One after another, hideous and terrifying cries echoed in Xin Yan's mind, transforming into undying remnants, rushing towards Xin Yan's soul, seeking to devour and possess her!
These were the undying remnants left by the ancient demons, undoubtedly fatal to Xin Yan, who only possessed a Lord Realm cultivation!
"With just you old geezers, remnants left behind after countless years of death, you dare to dream of possessing this venerable one!"
"Die!!"
"Give me death——"
Within Xin Yan's sea of consciousness, another soul of Xin Yan emerged, her head of black hair standing on end, turning blood red, her eyes filled with violence and killing intent, roaring!
Even so, upon closer observation, one could discover that Xin Yan's other soul was also trembling slightly, sensing an unprecedented sense of mortal danger!
People's constitutions can't be generalized.
In a state of extreme shock and anger, Xin Yan fully mobilized the power of the Demon Heart to protect herself.
Buzz——
Within Xin Yan's chest, the half-black, half-red heart beat violently, and wisps of weak yet terrifying and supreme power rapidly spread, rushing into the sea of consciousness, bolstering Xin Yan's soul.
Instantly, Xin Yan's soul and the remnants of the ancient demons erupted into a fierce battle in the sea of consciousness.
Xin Yan's body froze in place, her eyes tightly closed, trembling slightly, with wisps of demonic energy flashing across her body from time to time.
"Done!"
Seeing this, Su Chen smiled, not alarmed but delighted!
The undying remnants left by the ancient demons would be a fatal disaster for anyone, but not for Xin Yan!
The Demon Heart within her had a significant origin, enough to contend with these undying remnants.
But the premise was that Xin Yan could control this power.
Although she had been integrated with the Demon Heart since before birth, her soul was too weak to control the Demon Heart's power.
Now, under the threat of death, her soul mobilized the power of the Demon Heart at all costs, which could greatly accelerate the process of merging with the Demon Heart's power.
This was a calamity, but also an opportunity!
When she annihilated the remnants of the ancient demons, she would also initially grasp the power of the Demon Heart, easily stepping into the Emperor Realm!
Not only that.
The broken bone in her hand also contained many inheritances from the ancient demons, which was also a great opportunity!
This process would take some time.
Su Chen took out the Primordial Chaos Pagoda and brought Xin Yan into the internal space.
"Buddhism… It's time to settle this score properly!"
Su Chen's expression turned cold, and he stepped into the air, returning from the depths of the Avici Hell!
His long hair draped over his shoulders, and lightning began to surround his slender and upright figure, distorting the void in the darkness, turning into steps under Su Chen's feet.
Outside the Avici Hell.
Venerable Ling Yuan and the others still dared not relax their vigilance, the Life-and-Death Array continued to operate, completely sealing off the space here, preventing any power from escaping.
As for those unlucky ones from the various Emperor Lineage Dao Sects, Venerable Ling Yuan had already erased their relevant memories and casually tossed them into a corner, where they fell into a coma.
"Amitabha… Hmm?"
Venerable Ling Yuan suddenly paused.
Something's fishy.
How could this venerable one seem to see someone walking out of the Avici Hell?
"That shouldn't be… This venerable one has a peak ninth-level Emperor Realm cultivation, how could I have hallucinations… I must have seen wrong."
Venerable Ling Yuan muttered to himself, closed his eyes, and then reopened them.
He saw it even more clearly.
Surrounded by lightning, Su Chen's temperament was indifferent and extraordinary, like a thunder god descending to the world, stepping out step by step from the depths of the Avici Hell!!
"He's not dead!?"
"How is this possible?"
Venerable Tian Kun and the others also contracted their pupils sharply, their hearts surging with shock!
They had personally witnessed Su Chen falling into the deepest part of the Avici Hell!
Even with the Myriad Manifestations Divine Eyes in hand, he shouldn't have been able to survive!
"No, no, his aura… Fourth-level Emperor Realm cultivation!?"
Venerable Tian Kun's heart suddenly trembled violently, and after sensing Su Chen's cultivation realm, he couldn't help but gasp!
One must know.
Several months ago, in Mo Province, Su Chen's displayed cultivation was only at the peak of the ninth-level Saint Realm, not even a Quasi-Emperor.
Now, Su Chen had not only stepped into the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop, but his cultivation was actually as high as the fourth-level Emperor Realm!
Not only that.
The aura on Su Chen's body was extremely powerful and terrifying, causing Venerable Tian Kun to feel a burst of palpitation, sensing a terrifying threat!
