Devour the Ancient Emperor

Valley within a valley.

The dim valley was filled with a pungent odor.

Grayish air currents surged everywhere, and even Su Chen dared not be careless.

He knew very well that after the two little fellows had devoured all the Soul Source here, none of the Soul Source Beasts had shown any unusual movements, including the ten Celestial Venerable Soul Source Beasts.

There must be something fishy about it.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand it yet.

He had to figure it out.

What was going on?

Gritting his teeth, Su Chen walked towards the Soul Source Beasts.

"Human?"

"Soul Revered One, there is a human here."

Hearing this, the ten Celestial Venerable Soul Source Beasts slowly opened their eyes and all looked at Su Chen, but the kind of coldness that seemed to come from the endless abyss made Su Chen feel chilled to the bone.

"You were actually able to lock onto Soul Source Valley, it seems your special perception is not bad."

Hearing this, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

The fact that they didn't have any killing intent towards him surprised Su Chen somewhat.

"Are you willing to help us with a favor? I can promise that not only will you not die, but we can also forgive you for all the Soul Source you devoured before, and even give you some Soul Source."

"Senior Soul Revered One, please speak."

"There are four Soul Locking Swords around us. I hope you can help me shatter the Soul Locking Swords."

Hearing the words 'Soul Locking Sword', Su Chen looked around.

Sure enough.

A giant sword was inserted in each of the four directions, all of them blood-red, and each giant sword was covered with dense cracks, looking extremely strange.

Su Chen frowned. He couldn't feel the power of the Soul Locking Swords. It seemed that the four Soul Locking Swords should have a special suppressive ability against these Soul Source Beasts.

He didn't agree immediately.

The reason was simple. In Su Chen's opinion, if he really shattered the four Soul Locking Swords, what would happen if these Soul Source Beasts wanted to deal with him?

Ordinary Divine Demon Realm Soul Source Beasts would definitely not be a problem, but facing ten Celestial Venerable Soul Source Beasts, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

"Unwilling?"

"Senior Soul Revered One, you're joking. I'll go try."

Arriving in front of a Soul Locking Sword.

Su Chen tried to shatter the Soul Locking Sword, but in reality, he didn't use any force at all.

"Senior Soul Revered One, I can't break the Soul Locking Sword."

"State your conditions."

The ten Soul Source Beasts weren't fools either. Of course, they could see through the human martial artist's pretense and understood why the other party was unwilling to shatter the Soul Locking Sword.

"I want to ask first, what exactly happened here?"

"We locked onto a Soul Source Origin here. Just when we wanted to absorb more Soul Source, we inadvertently activated the Soul Locking Sword Formation. Not only could we not continue to absorb Soul Source, but all of our Soul Source Beasts were also suppressed here by the four Soul Locking Swords."

Soul Source Origin?

This was the first time he had heard of it.

Seeming to be able to guess what the human was thinking, the Soul Source Beast continued, "This is the Sumeru Sacrifice Realm. There are many Soul Source Origins. As for whether these Origins come from the same Origin or are interconnected, we are not very clear at the moment."

"But the Soul Source Beasts contained within the Sumeru Sacrifice Realm all come from the Origin. If we can open the Origin, then there will be no problem in getting as much Soul Source as we want."

"I don't want to ask you why you can lock onto this place. We are willing to make a deal with you. As long as you are willing to break the four Soul Locking Swords, we will step into the Origin together. You can get as much Soul Source as you want, and we won't attack you."

"I know you don't believe my words, but I can clearly tell you that you and we have a common goal, and that goal is Soul Source."

"If the amount of Soul Source is limited, we will definitely attack."

"But now, what we have locked onto is the Soul Source Origin, which has an infinite amount of Soul Source, enough to supply us and you to devour Soul Source without limit, so we won't attack. You can rest assured."

Drawing a big cake?

Such conditions were indeed good, but Su Chen would not choose to believe them.

Because Su Chen knew very well that if he believed them and really shattered the four Soul Locking Swords, what would happen if these Soul Source Beasts went back on their word? Who would he complain to?

Moreover, the current situation was very beneficial to him, so why bother doing something unnecessary?

Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled.

"If I kill you and enter the Origin alone, wouldn't that be more beneficial to me, do you think?"

Hearing this, all the Soul Source Beasts didn't show the slightest anger.

"Boy, it's not that we look down on you, but you don't dare to kill us. Why don't you try?"

"There's a problem?"

"As long as we fall, the four Soul Locking Swords will instantly lock onto you, and the entire space of Soul Source Valley will collapse instantly. If you want to leave Soul Source Valley alive, you can only dream about it."

Hearing this, Su Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed. Looking at the Soul Source Beasts in front of him, if only the ten Celestial Venerable Soul Source Beasts had said so, he definitely wouldn't have believed it.

But the problem now was that he could see from the faces of all the Soul Source Beasts that there wasn't the slightest fear, but rather ridicule and gloating expressions.

It seemed that what the Celestial Venerable Soul Source Beasts said should not be false. If that was really the case, then things would be quite troublesome. He couldn't kill them.

Couldn't kill them?

But he could subdue them.

However, before Su Chen could speak, the Soul Source Beast had already said, "You should give up on that idea. Even if we die, we won't submit to you. And even if we are willing, once our primordial spirit submits, you will still be locked onto by the Soul Locking Sword, and even be suppressed and killed."

Su Chen turned to look at the Soul Locking Sword in front of him. The problem was all with the Soul Locking Sword. He didn't dare to reach out and touch it, but Su Chen could see that the cracks on the Soul Locking Sword seemed a little strange.

The Devouring Blood Wheel and the Replication Blood Wheel condensed above his head. Taking a deep breath, Su Chen certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity. If what the Soul Source Beast said was true, then locking onto the Soul Source Origin was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, whether for himself or for these little fellows.

The power of Devouring and the power of Replication condensed into a force and slowly poured into the Soul Locking Sword. Just as the power touched the Soul Locking Sword.

Buzz!

Along with an extremely ear-piercing sword hum, it resounded through the void of the valley.

Immediately afterward, blood-red sword qi suddenly erupted from the Soul Locking Sword, with black air currents flowing on the sword qi, looking extremely strange.
