Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 172: Fusion failed, change direction

One month later, in the virtual universe, Manor No. 114 in the original area.

"Farewell, teacher." In Wang Xiu's exclusive training ground in the manor, Wang Xiu respectfully saluted Gu Fenghou in front of him.

"Well." Gu Fenghou waved his hand, "Okay, I'll leave now. It's a good thing to carry out training tasks. For some things, remember to think more and look more. Sometimes there will be some unexpected discoveries."

"Hmm?" Wang Xiu raised his head and looked at Gu Fenghou in front of him with some surprise.

Teacher, are you... giving me some advice?
This thought flashed through Wang Xiu's mind like lightning.

"Teacher, please stop talking. I know." Wang Xiu came back to his senses and nodded solemnly.

As an immortal under the Virtual Universe Company, even if Gu Fenghou is Wang Xiu's teacher, it is against the rules to do such a thing.

"Haha, I knew you were smart." Seeing this, Gu Fenghou immediately nodded with a smile, and then comforted him, "Don't worry, the Virtual Universe Company has its own rules, but I didn't say anything, it's okay."

"Otherwise, with the control of our virtual universe company over the virtual universe network, we would have been discovered long ago."

Wang Xiu nodded upon hearing this.

Yes, there is no doubt that the Virtual Universe Company has absolute control over the Virtual Universe network. It is much more powerful than the Jinyiwei.

Seeing that Gu Fenghou looked calm and composed, Wang Xiu also felt relieved.

"But I still have to tell you something." Gu Fenghou suddenly thought of something, and his smile slowly faded. He looked at Wang Xiu with a serious expression, "In everything, excess is as bad as deficiency!"

"You are very talented and smart. I don't want to hear about your death one day."

"Okay, that's enough talk. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Xiu to react, he disappeared directly in the training field.

Looking at the empty ground in front of him, Wang Xiu shrugged his shoulders, feeling a little helpless but more moved.

If Gu Fenghou didn't really care about me, he would never say these words to me.

"Huh? Yufang is looking for me?" Suddenly, Wang Xiu frowned.

Then he stretched out his hand and lightly drew it in the air. A communication request was immediately connected, and Yu Fang's figure suddenly appeared in front of Wang Xiu, "Your Highness, His Highness Luo Feng is here to visit you."

"Luo Feng?" Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I'll be there right away."

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiu immediately hung up the phone, and then with a thought, he also left the training ground.

……

In the study on the third floor.

"Brother Xiu, has your training mission been going smoothly recently?" Luo Feng asked with a smile.

"Well, it's okay." Wang Xiu thought about it. In the past month, including the seven Blood Luo Crystals he obtained in the first two times, he had obtained a total of 32 Blood Luo Crystals.

About one Blood Crystal a day.

According to the exchange price stipulated by the Virtual Universe Company, one Blood Crystal can be exchanged for 10,000 points.

It should be going smoothly, right?
"I knew that with your strength, there would be absolutely no problem." Luo Feng looked like he had expected this and said with a smile, "After I recently passed through the Illusion Sea, I am also ready to carry out a training mission, but I haven't decided which training mission I will carry out yet."

"There's no rush for the training mission. You can take your time to choose." Wang Xiu shook his head and continued, "You just said you were going to explore the Illusion Sea?"

"Yeah." Luo Feng nodded. "It's just as you said. I feel like I can get through about the 80th or 9th island. But according to what you said, I didn't get through the 6th island anymore."

"Brother Xiu, is the situation really as serious as you say?" At this point, Luo Feng frowned and asked.

"Yes." Wang Xiu nodded solemnly, "Just in case, it's better to be careful."

"What if?"

"That's right." Luo Feng nodded and didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

"By the way, Brother Xiu, do you know what happened in Taichu District recently?" Luo Feng suddenly asked.

"Taichu District?" Wang Xiu showed a trace of doubt on his face, "What's the matter?"

"Has anyone from the Taichu District passed through the eighth-level Tongtian Bridge?"

"Uh..." Luo Feng shook his head, "That's not the case."

"It was the Taichu District and our group of newcomers who were bullied by the old people."

"Normal." Wang Xiu said indifferently, "Where there are people, there are conflicts, even in the virtual universe company."

"Didn't you participate in the elite training camp of the Extreme Martial Arts School when you were on Earth? Wasn't it the same inside?"

"That's true." Luo Feng nodded.

"By the way, those three old men in the primitive area didn't target you, right?" Wang Xiu suddenly asked.

"Not really." Luo Feng shook his head. "Although we are in the same primitive area, we rarely meet."

"That's right...Among the three old men in the primitive area, only Moro was kind enough to meet them. The others were very arrogant."

"Molo?" Wang Xiu laughed when he heard this. "What's your impression of him?"

"Impression? Of course the impression is good." Luo Feng was a little confused when he heard this, wondering why Wang Xiu suddenly asked this.

"I heard that Moruo, like us, came from a small place. However, he did not enter the original secret realm through the genius battle, but fought his way up from the secret realm of the end of the world step by step. His experience is quite legendary."

"Although we don't meet often, he is always very enthusiastic when we do. His attitude is much better than the other two."

"Tsk... He is worthy of being called such." Wang Xiu touched his chin and said with emotion.

Not long after Wang Xiu entered the original secret realm, he went directly to the Xueluo world.

There are not many opportunities to enter the virtual universe.

Up to now, I have never met Moro, but I didn't expect that Moro is really the same as I remembered.

If Wang Xiu remembered correctly, Moro was not a good person. He said one thing in front of you and another behind your back.

He almost killed Luo Feng.

If Luo Feng didn't have the Demon Killer Clan's clone, Moro would have succeeded.

However, Luo Feng turned a disaster into a blessing and successfully obtained the inheritance of the divine general.

Wang Xiu is now a little confused about whether he should tell Luo Feng Moro’s true identity.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiu?" Luo Feng looked at Wang Xiu's appearance, totally confused, and couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I just think this Moruo is very weird. Anyway, you better be careful and don't get fooled." Wang Xiu came back to his senses and looked at Luo Feng's puzzled expression. After a brief thought, he decided to remind him.

After all, Luo Feng is his brother, and the feelings they have had for so many years are not fake.

Although he knew that Luo Feng was not in danger in the end but instead turned a disaster into a blessing, that was after all in the Demon Mountain.

The Secret Realm of Demon Mountain is known as a desperate mission, and if you are not careful you will die.

If Wang Xiu really didn't remind him, it would be a bit unreasonable.

However, Wang Xiu was also worried that because of him, Luo Feng would lose that opportunity, and he would be committing a great sin.

So this was just a simple reminder, and it did not directly point out Moro's true identity.

As for the final result, it has nothing to do with Wang Xiu.

Anyway, Wang Xiu has done everything he can. Whether he can inherit the Demonic Sound God's legacy depends on Luo Feng's own fate.

"Brother Xiu, don't worry. I'm not a child anymore." After hearing Wang Xiu's words, Luo Feng responded with a smile.

……

Luo Feng did not stay with Wang Xiu for long. After the two chatted for a while, Luo Feng took the initiative to say goodbye and left.

After Luo Feng left, Wang Xiu also consciously exited the virtual universe network and returned to the real world. In the command room of the Tianjian.

Wang Xiu looked at the 25 Blood Crystals in front of him, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. This was the result of his work for this month.

He had already fused seven Blood Crystals before, but he had been holding back and not continuing to fuse them.

Until now.

“I don’t know how many of these Blood Luo Crystals I can fuse.” A thought flashed through Wang Xiu’s mind, and then he picked up one of the Blood Luo Crystals and began to fuse them.

The familiar will to kill once again surged into his sea of ​​consciousness, impacting Wang Xiu's awareness.

However, in the face of Wang Xiu's strong will that was comparable to that of a marquis, the murderous will contained in the Blood Luo Crystal was like a tide hitting the rocks on the shore and was easily resisted.

The blood-colored threads of the Xue Luo Crystal gradually merged into Wang Xiu's body, and various changes began to occur in Wang Xiu's body.

Scales appeared on the body surface, and the body became scalding hot...

Soon, these strange phenomena gradually subsided, and finally the eighth Blood Crystal was successfully fused.

Wang Xiu did not hesitate and directly picked up another Blood Crystal and continued to fuse them.

Not long after, the ninth Blood Crystal was successfully fused!
Everything was going well, but when Wang Xiu began to fuse the tenth Blood Luo Crystal, an accident occurred.

In the command room.

"The limit is nine Blood Luo Crystals?" Wang Xiu frowned as he looked at the intact Blood Luo Crystal in his palm, feeling very depressed.

Originally, he thought that relying on his own body, it should not be a problem to directly fuse ten Blood Crystals.

But unexpectedly, when fusing the tenth Blood Crystal, it failed.

"According to the information obtained from the Blood Luo World, if you want to fuse more Blood Luo Crystals, you must accept the baptism and transformation of evil spirits."

“In the entire Xueluo world, the place with the most evil spirit is the ruins of the ancient gods.” Wang Xiu said to himself.

"I originally wanted to wait until the end to go..."

Wang Xiu activated the power of Xueluo in his body, looked at the incomplete secret pattern on his chest, hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's go to the ruins of the ancient gods first!"

"With my will and state of mind, I should be able to directly enter the core of the evil spirit."

"In the core of the evil vortex, the speed of physical transformation will be much faster. All in all, it shouldn't take much time."

"Tianjian, change the target and go directly to the ancient god ruins." Wang Xiu suddenly gave the order.

"Okay, Master. We have set the target location, the Ancient God's Ruins. It is estimated to take twelve days."

……

In the void, the Eclipse Palace.

The Sky Eclipse Palace is a huge palace suspended in the void, specially set up to monitor the Xueluo Continent.

There was a huge screen in the side hall on the first floor of the Tianshi Palace, on which was playing the scene of Wang Xiu flying into the Xueluo Continent.

"Tsk, His Highness Wang Xiu, judging from the direction he is heading, he is heading to the Ancient God Ruins."

"You're really brave!"

"But this His Highness Wang Xiu is quite wealthy. If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be riding an F-class spaceship, right? He is only at the cosmic level now, tsk tsk."

"Well, judging by the style, it should be the standard F-class spaceship produced by our Virtual Universe Company, or the latest model."

More than a dozen realm masters responsible for monitoring the movements of the entire Xueluo Continent were talking and laughing.

"Why do you care so much?"

"Everyone, be serious! If our Highness Wang Xiu encounters any enemy and escapes from the clouds on his F-class spaceship, any natives who dare to chase him out must be killed immediately!"

"clear."

"Of course I know that."

"But the ruins of the ancient gods are the most important and dangerous place in the Xueluo Continent. It is said that many immortal beings from our Virtual Universe Company died there."

"And that place is very strange... It would be very dangerous for His Highness Wang Xiu to go there! The dangerous mission he chose did not force him to go to the Ancient God Ruins!"

"You choose your own path!"

"We at Virtual Universe Company won't force anyone to do anything, but no matter how talented he is, since he chooses to go to the Ancient God Ruins... we'll just watch!"

“Wealth and honor are sought in danger. Although this is very dangerous, if you can achieve something in the ruins of the ancient gods, it will be a great achievement!”

"Ok!"

"The ruins of the ancient gods are very magical, and the Blood Luo Crystal is also very magical."

A group of world masters were talking to each other, and the entire void outside the clouds of the Xueluo world was under their surveillance.

……

12 days flies by quickly.

The speed of Tianjian gradually decreased, and soon it stopped completely at one place.

The hatch opened, and Wang Xiu's figure appeared in the void. Then he waved his hand, and the Tianjian quickly disappeared.

Wang Xiu didn't hesitate and flew directly towards the clouds below.

“Hmm?” Wang Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. “The evil spirit of the Ancient God Ruins is indeed strong. This is only the fifteenth layer of clouds and mist, and it has been dyed blood red by the evil spirit.”

The boundless clouds below were all blood red, as if an endless sea of ​​blood was rolling. The terrifying invisible evil spirit made people feel uneasy.

However, Wang Xiu didn't care at all. He didn't slow down at all and plunged directly into the blood-colored cloud.

Wang Xiu, who entered the blood-colored mist, soon felt something strange.

commotion!

His heart was in turmoil, as if he had a desire to kill.

"Is this the evil spirit of the ancient god's ruins?" Wang Xiu's heart was so determined that he was not moved at all. He continued to dive downwards. Layer after layer of blood-red clouds were broken through, and finally the last layer of clouds was broken through.

Look down!

There are endless mountains, wastelands, swamps and other environments, but the geographical environment is very strange.

Like a mountain range, it seems as if a layer has been cut off, or it has been cut off somewhere. Regular super-large pits can be seen on the wasteland, and each pit is estimated to be hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

One big hole after another.

It's like... the footprints of some super beast.

The most important thing is - there is a faint mist, red mist, in all areas below. Because of this red mist, it is impossible to see clearly if the distance is too far.

"This should be the place where the Golden Beast God lived back then, but it was discovered by humans, and then a great battle broke out." Wang Xiu said to himself.

Those huge pits that looked like footprints and those severed mountains were obviously caused by the battle between the Golden Beast God and the high-level human beings, the Lords of the Universe.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for some immortals or cosmic masters to create such a battlefield filled with evil spirit that would last for billions of years.

Wang Xiu felt the impact of the red fog around him on his body.

Yes, but it's too weak.

If I want to improve my body to the level of being able to absorb ten Blood Crystals relying solely on this red mist containing evil spirit, it would take who knows how many years.

"Well, I remember there are a total of 10081 evil whirlpools in the Ancient God Ruins." Wang Xiu looked into the distance, but due to the influence of the ubiquitous red fog in the Ancient God Ruins, he could not see clearly anything that was too far away.

"We can only look for it while flying. It shouldn't be hard to find."
