You said you would be the reborn empress, why did you become my bootlicker?

The oval black egg lay quietly in the palm of his hand, about the size of an egg.

This is the so-called [Original Demon Egg].

"It also absorbs demon crystal cores to hatch, just like [Key to the Abyss]... But the charging priority of [Key to the Abyss] is higher. After one charging is satisfied, I will see if there are any extra demon crystal cores for you."

Thinking so, Su Yuan put it away.

After drawing these two hundred shots, he decided to stop for the time being.

After two hundred shots, there was no trace of the Nether Stone.

Instead of relying on illusory luck, it is better to rely on yourself to go to the abyss and get a "fixed source of supply".

In this way, before finding a way to eradicate Xiao Meng's bloodline problem, at least you don't have to worry about the interference caused by her sequelae.

......

After reviewing the reward resources this time.

Su Yuan directly used the S-level epiphany card to upgrade the S-level combat skill Sunset Gun to the [perfect] realm.

This kind of instant combat power can be replenished as much as possible.

"Returning to the ancestor spear meaning... Unfortunately, I only have one Nine Killing Spear that has reached the [True Meaning] now. I wonder what the effect will be when the Sunset Spear also reaches the [True Meaning] and the two spear techniques are combined."

The Enlightenment Tea has indeed improved his comprehension a lot, but it is still unrealistic to rely on oneself to improve an S-level combat skill from [Perfect] to [True Meaning] in a short period of time.

The 'Wanshi Lingbing' is still absorbing the Glazed Star Essence, and Su Yuan began to concentrate on practicing.

In the following time, he has two pursuits:

One is to see if he can try to improve his realm to the limit of the third level.

The second is to see if he can successfully master the first level of the "Suzaku Method" and obtain the ability of "burning heart".

.......

Time flies.

In addition to practicing, Su Yuan feeds the 'Wanshi Lingbing' with various metals, minerals, and special substances.

A full 10 jin of Glazed Star Marrow, 10 jin of Purple Spirit Alloy, 8 jin of Mithril Iron, 12 jin of Mysterious Cloud Crystal... After swallowing and fusing all kinds of high-grade metals, the strength of the Ten Thousand Devouring Spirit Soldier has become quite terrifying.

Day 18!

Su Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

The source energy in his body circulated crazily, and his blood and qi surged, like a roaring river!

After these 18 days of practice, he not only reached the limit, but even went a step further!

The standard for the 3rd level limit is that the source energy circulates 12 times a day!

And he——

Can circulate 15 times!

[Physical Body]: 3rd level limit 15 times

[Spirit]: Controlling Objects 17 Hertz.

His mind moved.

"Buzz!"

The Ten Thousand Devouring Spirit Soldier transformed into a long spear, which he held in his hand.

"Piercing the Sun!"

Su Yuan thrust out fiercely.

It was the second killer move in the Sunset Spear!

The gun roared like a dragon, and the source energy attached to it seemed to be able to penetrate the sun!

The power was so terrifying that it was hard to measure!

"Level 4 and Level 3 seem to be only one level apart, but in fact it is the boundary between the Exploration Realm and the Fusion Realm, a whole realm!"

"Fusion Realm, integrating source energy into the body!"

"Level 4, grinding skin and refining flesh!"

"Level 5, forging bones and shaping tendons!"

"Level 6, quenching blood and changing marrow!"

"It is the first key node for the qualitative change of the warrior's strength!"

"Normally, the winning rate of a Level 3 warrior against a Level 4 warrior is 0%!"

"Level 4 warriors have hard skin and strong flesh like a wall!"

"Exploration Realm warriors can't break the defense at all!"

"But——"

"I can kill a Level 4 warrior with one shot now!"

Su Yuan has full confidence in his own strength!

If I remember correctly, the highest record in the history of the Great Xia Martial Arts Examination is killing a Level 3 upper beast BOSS.

There are very few people who can do this in history, and Chief Gu was one of them.

But even Chief Gu!

He couldn't kill a 4th-level beast!

Because a 4th-level beast is many times stronger than a 3rd-level beast!

And now he——

Killing a 3rd-level beast is like killing a chicken!

Killing a 4th-level beast is like killing a dog!

"It's almost time."

This was the longest time he stayed in the static space, a full eighteen days!

During these eighteen days, although he had prepared food before, he found that as time went by, it was not his body, not his mind, but his soul that had an instinctive resistance to the static space!

That's right!

It's the soul!

Once, Su Yuan always thought that the soul and mental power were the same thing.

Until he used the God Blood Prison, he found that the last two punishments of the God Blood Prison, the Soul Punishment and the True Spirit Punishment, were different!

The Soul Punishment targets mental power!

The True Spirit Punishment targets the soul!

This experience in the static space made him more certain that the two were definitely related.Difference!

"According to estimates, 20 days should be the limit of what I can bear in the static space at present."

"My soul must be relieved in the real world before it can re-enter the static space. The specific reason involves the law of time, which I cannot figure out now..."

Su Yuan no longer dwells on this issue.

20 days once is enough for now.

When he touches the secret of the soul and strengthens his soul in the future, this time limit will definitely increase.

......

Su Yuan exited the static space.

It will take too long to move from level 3 to level 4, leaving him no time to break through slowly.

It's time to go to the abyss.

But before that, he needs some preparation.

Su Yuan left the room, tiptoed to Shangguan Meng's room, and knocked gently.

The door quietly opened, and Su Yuan flashed into the room, emphasizing a fast, accurate, and stable.

In the room.

Shangguan Meng was wearing a black nightgown, sitting on the edge of the bed, with her hands on both sides, her white legs swaying, and she stared at Su Yuan intently.

Xiao Yuan had told her during the day that he had a secret to tell her at night - what would it be?

"Xiao Meng."

"I have something to ask of you."

Su Yuan's expression was very serious.

"After I return to the room, until I come out of the room, you can't let anyone in..."

After using the [Key to the Abyss], he will disappear from this world. It is not certain how long he will be gone, whether it is a few hours, a day or two.

So if he disappears out of thin air without telling her in advance, it will cause a lot of trouble if he is discovered.

Shangguan Meng looked at him for a long time and nodded gently:

"Okay."

Su Yuan didn't expect her to agree so straightforwardly. He was stunned for a moment and asked:

"Aren't you curious about what I'm going to do?"

Shangguan Meng jumped off the bed, came to the drawer, took out a lemon candy from the drawer, turned around and walked to Su Yuan, took his hand, broke it open, and put the candy in his palm.

"Not curious."

After saying that, she paused and added:

"But don't get into trouble."

"......"

It feels like she knows everything.

It feels so good not to have to explain.

Su Yuan smiled:

"Yeah."

"Definitely nothing will happen."

......

Back to the room.

Su Yuan took a deep breath.

To be honest, the other side of the abyss is a completely unknown world.

Are you scared?

Maybe a little.

But whether it is now or in the future, there will always be more difficult and unknown things than this. Since he has decided to become stronger and protect the people he cares about, then a smooth life can only be found in fairy tales.

He was mentally prepared.

He took out the [Key to the Abyss] and used it.

A mysterious vortex appeared, and Su Yuan's figure instantly disappeared in the room.

......

Obviously two different worlds.

But in just a moment, Su Yuan smelled a gloomy, damp, and rotten smell. He opened his eyes and the sky was blood red, surrounded by a black ruin...

Wait! ?

Am I in the air?

The feeling of free fall came, and Su Yuan's heart tightened.

Fortunately, it was not high, just a few meters, no big deal.

But-

Bang!

Su Yuan felt like he hit something.

Flesh... Could it be a demon?

He got up quickly.

Hmm?

Humanoid demon?

A thing that looked almost human was lying on the ground, its face deeply sunken into the unknown black humus soil.

But why did this figure feel... a little familiar?

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows, summoned the Road Ending Gun transformed from the Ten Thousand Devouring Spirit Soldier, and turned the guy he had smashed into the soil over.

The next second——

! ???

Zhang Zhengqing! ??? ??? ???
