Chapter 856: Allow me... Kill you
By the time the simplified version of the core was finished, the fog surrounding Su Xiao's aura caused his protective dome to shrink to a three-meter radius.
He didn't have much time left.
Of course, even if he failed, Su Xiao would not die, but would only lose a substantial amount of coins.
A transparent thread connected the simplified core and Su Xiao. Once the simplified core absorbed and refined the mist, the already prepared energy would flow through this thread to Su Xiao.
This thread was created at the cost of 500 mana points, mostly it cost so much mana due to the fact that there were small cores located all over this thread, which would have cleared the energy passing through them a little more.
From the moment the mist entered the simplified core to the moment the mist was passed to Su Xiao, it would go through a total of nine refinements.
If even that wasn't enough, there was nothing Su Xiao could do about it.
Sighing, Su Xiao activated a simplified version of the Devouring Core above his head.
Immediately, dozens of small holes opened up in it, and in the next moment, the core began to suck in the mist around it at great speed.
The ten meters around Su Xiao practically emptied out in a matter of seconds.
The pressure on Su Xiao's barrier dropped dramatically.
*Crack-crack-crack...*
Small cracks appeared on the simplified version of the core, but Su Xiao wasn't surprised. This core was just a copy of the original. When he was creating the real Devouring Core, he was immersed in a pool of Qing Gang Yin energy, and he had no idea how much energy he had expended to create his core.
Right now, he could only rely on his own energy, and naturally, he couldn't have as much mana as he needed to form a huge pool, so naturally, the core he created was quite fragile.
The simplified version of the Devouring Core also began to purify the absorbed energy.
Soon, the first stream of light red energy shot out from the core. Although this energy was red and had some impurities in it, at least it wasn't so saturated now.
This energy was rushing along the thread directly towards Su Xiao, and along the way, it was constantly being refined by small cores.
By the end of the thread, the energy had been purified to such an extent that it was almost transparent, although there was still a barely visible red tint in it.
Su Xiao still gathered the resulting energy into a lump on his palm and mixed it with his own aura.
His aura absorbed this energy effortlessly, and after waiting for a while, he realized that nothing terrible had happened in the end.
After realizing that everything was fine, Su Xiao smiled.
After the first experiment was successful, everything became much easier.
The next batch of mist was absorbed almost immediately without any hesitation.
Su Xiao just used all the ways to improve his skill and nothing more. Many contractors wouldn't have thought of it, but Su Xiao knew that he was by no means the first to think of it.
The Reincarnation Paradise provided access to various amenities through coins and other resources, and Su Xiao spent the resources he earned to take advantage of these amenities. As for who used these facilities and how, it was already up to the individual.
Rai obviously saw what Su Xiao was doing, however, he never received any warning or penalty, which indicated that Rai was not against such a move.
After absorbing a substantial amount of refined energy, Su Xiao still didn't feel any abnormalities in his aura, but it became more 'saturated'. Of course, this method had its drawbacks. His aura became even bloodier, which made him wonder if his charisma would drop again or not.
But compared to the amount of energy he had absorbed and what was left on this battlefield, it could only be said that he had removed a single drop from the vast sea. It was an ancient battlefield where a large number of giant dragons, various animals ranging from mountain goats to hippos, and countless strong people had died.
Considering the number of deaths in this place, how much blood mist it had absorbed was practically nothing.
Ten minutes later, the core above Su Xiao was completely covered in cracks and could clearly break at any moment. The thread that connected the core and Su Xiao turned blood-red, and the extra balls that were supposed to purify energy were full of impurities.
Su Xiao took a deep breath. He didn't have much time left. Just as he was about to launch the core one last time, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Mist began to pour down from the entire battlefield towards Su Xiao. If he launched the core right now, it would immediately shatter into pieces before it could even clear a tenth of the absorbed energy.
After realizing that the situation wasn't good, he immediately deactivated the core and removed the aura so that the mist would knock him out of this space.
Blood-red lines appeared on Su Xiao's body...
In the next moment, a large hand appeared above him, blocking out the sky and the sun. This large hand was so realistic that you could easily see the lines on it.
The big hand immediately began to descend. Su Xiao's entire body immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If he was hit by that hand, he would absolutely die!
*BOOM!*
A loud sound reverberated through the ancient battlefield. In the place where Su Xiao had been just a moment earlier, a bottomless palm-shaped chasm appeared.
*Pum!*
Along with a pop, an old man with long white hair and a haggard face appeared near the chasm. He was about three meters tall.
The old man pointed his finger in the air, and a screen immediately appeared in front of him, which rewound time.
This screen showed him how Su Xiao's figure disappeared a second before the huge hand slammed down on him.
— A? Shadow of the Law? The old man's pupils narrowed and his expression turned cold. — Have you decided to come out of your hole?" The last time we met, I died, " without any movement from the old man, the space in front of him suddenly shattered.
In the next instant, he stepped into the void.
He decided to catch up with Su Xiao.
*Boom!*
Two seconds later, the space split open again, but this time the old man flew out of the hole and fell to the ground.
— What is this creature? What kind of power is this?.. The old man's lips were trembling, as if he had seen something terrible.
*A clang*
Along with a sharp sound, a crack appeared in the space.
A humanoid creature with blue smoke that shrouded its entire body and a long sword emerged from the crack.
— Who are you? No, this sword...
*Pouf~*
The old man's head flew up, and a humanoid creature wrapped in blue smoke stared at the white-haired elder's body.
After a long time, it turned around and entered the spatial crack.
— The same, where are you? Let me.".. Kill you, " the humanoid creature's voice suddenly came from a crack in space.
After a few minutes, the space of this ancient battlefield returned to normal.
----
In the skill improvement room, Su Xiao was lying on the floor, covered in blood, and could faint at any moment.
That huge hand didn't hit him, but even so, he was still seriously injured. This made him realize that he couldn't be too brazen in this ancient battlefield.
There were too many unknown dangers there.
[Attention: The hunter was exposed to the energy of the ancient battlefield.
Multiple fractures, severe internal bleeding, and traces of foreign matter were found in your body.
You want to recover with a certain amount of Paradise coins?
yes/no.]
Su Xiao's pupils narrowed. He used several methods to purify the mist, but he still couldn't completely get rid of the impurities in the end.
Fortunately, he was able to fix everything with the help of Paradise coins.
— Immediately, Su Xiao felt a great pain all over his body.
[Notice: 10,600 Paradise Coins were spent to clear the body of foreign matter.]
[Notice: Treatment of multiple fractures and severe internal bleeding will cost 1,300 Paradise Coins.]
[Notification: To remove the negative effects of foreign matter and the energy of the ancient battlefield, you will need 47,200 Paradise coins..]
[Payment was made and the treatment process started.]
An hour later, Su Xiao looked at the remaining 35,800 Paradise coins and couldn't help but sigh. The coins were spent too quickly, and he planned to spend the rest on making potions.
Although he spent a lot of money, it wasn't wasted.
First of all, he decided to open his skill list and check how strong his "Aura Release" skill had become.».
