Chapter 1656: Ancient Battlefield
The next morning, Su Xiao got up very early and checked his mana pool.
He managed to fully recover.
As true intelligence increased, so did the mana recovery rate.
Moreover, thanks to the effect of Bubtney's aura, he was additionally recovering 5 mana points per minute.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Xiao decided to take a chance and improve one of his old abilities.
Due to the rapid increase in strength, this skill couldn't keep up with his pace.
If this ability was improved by normal means, there would be no risk, but Su Xiao planned to speed up this process, so that he could upgrade this skill by 3-5 levels or even more at once.
He slung his Mutterbox over his shoulders and headed straight for the Skill Improvement hall.
When Bubtney realized where they were going, he knew they weren't going for fun.
Leveling up this skill required a lot of mana.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the hall and quickly occupied an empty space.
*F-f-f-f~*
Steam gushed out into the hallway as the door closed behind him.
Bubtney lay down in the corner of the room and began to drift off to sleep.
[Please select the skill you want to improve.]
Su Xiao immediately chose" Aura Release", he hadn't leveled up this very practical ability for a long time due to the process of improving this skill.
[To upgrade the skill " Aura Release: Level 18 (Passive-Active Skill)", you need to pay 50,000 Paradise Coins.
Do you want to improve this skill?
yes/no.]
— Improve it.
Almost immediately, he felt as if he had been teleported somewhere.
When he regained his senses, he was already on the ancient battlefield.
The ground was dark red, as if completely soaked in blood.
The skeleton of a giant dragon lay on a low hill with a black heart in its mouth.
Not far from the dragon was a giant in red armor with a hole in his chest.
The corpses of various powerful creatures were scattered all over this ancient battlefield. Because of the demon corpses, the air was filled with the smell of sulfur. The smell alone would make an ordinary person's head spin.
A scarlet mist floated over the battlefield.
It was made up of the blood of countless powerful beings.
This fog was thick and clear. In fact, it was more of a kind of energy that could be used as a weapon. In the past, this place was thriving and full of life, but because of a decisive battle, this place was eventually created.
To all the Void dwellers, this place was absolutely a forbidden area. Something extremely terrifying had once lived here, and even though it had moved to the deepest part of the Black Abyss, no one was willing to come here, except for some treasure hunters.
Su Xiao was currently in the Void territory, but he could return to Paradise at any time.
He only came here for the sake of improving his skill, not to complete a task.
As soon as he appeared in this place, the blood energy immediately rushed towards him. This energy was extremely poisonous. If it gets into his body, it will start a lot of very unpleasant processes, and they can only be stopped after returning to Paradise..
To improve their aura, contractors usually released their aura and tempered it with external influences, but Su Xiao had an epiphany and decided to use Qing Gang Yin's energy to form a temporary Devouring Core outside of his body last time. With it, he absorbed, refined, and refined the energy that hovered in this place, allowing his aura to improve right before his eyes.
All he had to do was make sure that he wasn't accidentally killed by this energy.
It was a very good idea, and everything was going fine until a bloody hand suddenly began to fall on him from the sky.
This time, Su Xiao was ready to leave at any moment, now he knew what he had to fear, however, he didn't know that the owner of that hand, a monster with white hair and an emaciated body, was hacked apart by a Demonic Swordsman.
As long as he didn't come here himself, no one else would be able to stop him.
Well, he clearly wasn't going to come to this place, as he was currently in the deepest part of the Black Abyss and was lying in the middle of a sea of flowers.
Blood energy swirled around Su Xiao, causing his eyelids to tremble more and more. Right now it was difficult for him to block this energy with his aura and still form a mini version of the Devouring Core.
Keeping in mind that the blood hand could appear at any moment, he only spent 1,000 mana points to form the Devouring Core.
After a few minutes, everything was ready, and a thread as thick as a pinky finger connected the new Devouring Core to Su Xiao's body. Don't underestimate this thread. There were fifteen small Devouring Cores located in this thread. After eliminating the hidden danger in the form of the Sword Demon, he could completely control the Devouring Core in his body without any restrictions.
A simple Devouring core flew into the air above his head. Taking a deep breath, he opened dozens of small holes in this Devouring Core.
Like a whale sucking up water, the core absorbed the blood energy within a thirty-meter radius in an instant.
*Click-click-click...*
Su Xiao wasn't surprised that cracks were rapidly appearing on the Devouring Core. It could only be used for a limited amount of time anyway and only to refine this energy.
After sucking in a large amount of energy, the core began to work quickly, purifying and filtering this blood energy.
Soon, light red energy shot out from the core.
It also turned blood-red and was already seriously polluted..
Pure energy was transmitted to Su Xiao through the thread. Fifteen simple cores in the filament further filtered out this energy from the remaining impurities.
As a result, this energy was refined to the point where it became almost transparent.
After undergoing sixteen different purifications, this energy fused with Su Xiao's aura, causing it to improve rapidly.
His aura was not bloody because he had killed so many people. He wasn't a saint, but he wasn't a butcher, either. His aura was so bloody due to the fact that he had absorbed the energy of this ancient battlefield in the past.
After he absorbed it, his aura became too abnormal, which might explain why his charisma even with the title effect didn't have any effect in the negotiations.
However, due to the passage of several worlds, his aura has already mostly returned to normal. Perhaps in a few more worlds, his frightening aura would be gone, but now he was once again absorbing the energy of this place, wanting to reach new heights.
Perhaps, when his aura becomes strong enough, he can achieve the effect of the Conqueror's Haki when using it, but to repeat such an effect, of course, he will need to pump his aura very seriously.
Sitting cross-legged on the dark red soil, Su Xiao began to monitor how his aura was improving.
A blood-red vortex also appeared above him due to the sharp and rapid absorption of energy by the Devouring Core.
Su Xiao wasn't obsessed with progress. All this time, he had been keeping a close eye on his surroundings. As soon as something goes wrong, they will immediately return to Paradise.
However, even after ten minutes of actively absorbing this energy, nothing happened.
With a click, the Devouring Core above his head shattered, causing a swirl of blood energy to envelop Su Xiao's body.
Almost immediately, he was teleported back to Paradise.
Bubtney woke up with a cry.
The fur all over his body stood on end, and his paws were shaking.
Su Xiao, who was standing beside him, was covered in red lines, and his eyes were bloodshot as they stared at Bubtni.
