Chapter 1408: The Correct way to use the Devouring Core

After biting off the Goddess ' head, the Sword Demon's figure began to twist and eventually disappeared.

Su Xiao noticed this. He closed his eyes and thought. In the past, when he activated the Devouring Core to absorb energy, the Sword Demon would always appear at his side.

The sword demon was clearly not some sort of enemy. When Su Xiao created the Devouring Core in his body, the Sword Demon also appeared.

Most likely, the Sword Demon had some sort of relationship with the Devouring Core.

Whenever Su Xiao used the Devouring Core, the Sword Demon would try to enter Su Xiao's body. Basically, the Sword demon was only a certain energy, so it could also be absorbed by the Devouring Core, and if Su Xiao didn't use the Devouring Core, the sword demon wouldn't be able to appear at all, much less be able to attempt to invade Su Xiao's body.

Hence, it was the Devouring Core that created the Sword Demon, and not the Sword Demon that appeared when the Devouring Core began to process any energy.

In fact, even if the Sword Demon possessed Su Xiao's body, Su Xiao would lose himself in the worst case scenario and might not be able to wake up.

It was precisely because of this that everyone in the Void was so afraid of Demonic Swordsmen. Demonic swordsmen did not distinguish between friends and enemies, good and evil. They were only acting on their instincts.

But even though many people in the Void were afraid of Demonic Swordsmen, no one would form an alliance to kill such a creature. It just wasn't worth it. Not to mention that a Demonic Swordsman was usually too strong, what would the races that participated in his elimination get for killing him? Well, yes, they would eliminate a very powerful creature, but so what?

Su Xiao once asked Marvin Waltz about the Sword Demon, and Marvin's answer was very interesting. The gist of his answer was very simple: "The sword demon is not dangerous. If you are strong enough, he will become one of your trump cards, one of your very important trump cards».

Because of this, Su Xiao's impression of the Sword Demon changed greatly. He had suspected before that it was just a certain energy, and after Marvin's confirmation, he got a rough idea of what the Sword Demon really was.

One didn't need to have a 'steel' heart to suppress the Sword Demon. Even with such a heart, a person will sooner or later fall under the temptation of the Sword Demon. It was an inevitable process.

The only way to prevent the Sword Demon from being manipulated was to use Qing Gang Yin's energy. As long as Qing Gang Yin's energy was stronger than the Sword Demon, this energy wouldn't cause any damage to him, of course, as long as he didn't abuse the Devouring Core.

When the Sword Demon suddenly disappeared, Su Xiao's expression didn't turn very good. He felt that the Sword Demon had penetrated inside his Devouring Core and turned into a point of black and blue energy that was slowly expanding inside his core.

The sword demon had obviously become much stronger due to absorbing the 'Goddess'. If it becomes stronger than Qing Gang Yin's energy, it will gradually take over Su Xiao's body.

If he wins in the end, it will bring some problems and a Paradise for Reincarnators.

If Su Xiao became a Demonic Swordsman, he wouldn't care about Heaven's quests.

Standing with his eyes closed, Su Xiao began to inspect this energy, and soon his eyebrows rose.

The foundation of this energy... seemed a little weak.

The purity of this energy was amazing, it was much purer than the energy of Qing Gang Yin, at least ten times, but the amount of this energy was not enough...

Even if it was increased by a couple of times, the level 35 Qing Gang Yin energy would be enough to suppress it.

But Qing Gang Yin's energy had been upgraded to level 40, so the Sword Demon wasn't a threat to him right now.

Everything was under control right now, but Su Xiao didn't dare to relax, because in the past, Qing Gang Yin's energy level 20 would have been enough to suppress this energy, but just by absorbing the "Goddess" alone, this threshold increased by 15 levels.

If the Sword Demon's energy absorbed something like this again, his Qing Gang Yin energy wouldn't be able to suppress the Sword Demon's energy, and he would essentially become a Demonic Swordsman sooner or later.

On the fifth floor of the fortress, blue smoke enveloped a white shadow. In the next moment, the blue smoke swirled and a large amount of energy surged into Su Xiao's left arm, then entered the core in his chest.

After purifying it a couple of times and passing it through the filter, a colorless energy appeared in his body, which immediately began to be absorbed by Qing Gang Yin's energy.

Qing Gang Yin's energy began to grow stronger very quickly, and the blue smoke around Su Xiao's body began to grow thicker.

*Whew~*

Dense blue smoke enveloped Su Xiao's body, then covered his body like a burning flame.

It was the first time Su Xiao's body was covered in blue smoke like this. The scene before his eyes changed abruptly. The world in front of him suddenly turned black and white. Not far away, there were four balls of red energy, each of which was the size of a fist.

These balls didn't look very good, as they had some obviously higher-level energy mixed in.

Su Xiao instinctively felt disgusted by these four balls. They were disgusting and he definitely shouldn't have "eaten" them.».

Looking away, he saw a ball of pink energy nearby. This ball looked very sweet, but it wasn't very edible. His intuition told him that he shouldn't have swallowed this ball because it was somewhat familiar to him.

This ball of pink energy actually belonged to his assistant. The assistant straightened up and swallowed. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. A few seconds ago, her boss and light figure were shrouded in blue smoke, but now his eyes were blood-red, and the blue smoke that floated on his body was like a hell of blazing flames.

— Boss ... boss? the assistant's legs were shaking. She could control her fear, but her instincts told her that she should get out of here as soon as possible.

— Su Xiao chuckled. He had never seen the world so clear before.

— This... I thought you were crazy.

— … — Su Xiao silently looked at his right hand. It was completely shrouded in blue smoke due to the fact that he had activated the Devouring Core to its fullest. In the past, he had activated the Devouring Core by a maximum of 15-20%, but now, he had activated it to its fullest potential.

He dared to do this because the Sword Demon was sleeping inside the core right now.

It was because of this that he decided to activate the core to its fullest potential, and because of this, he could see everything around him, including the extremely powerful life energy at the farthest part of the fifth floor.

And this energy seemed to be guarding something.

Not only that, he also saw something from another space. Although he couldn't enter it, he was able to see a large ball of golden energy. That golden energy in his eyes was like ice cream on a hot summer day, which made him want to go over to her and chop off as much of her as possible.
