Chapter 480 - 261: The Drawback of Merging with an Ancient Demon Bloodline - Part 2
Silver Frost County was not too far from Zhongtian County, with only Dayan County in between.
With Su Nan’s current speed, it didn’t take too long.
A few hours later.
He and the Great Princess arrived at Silver Frost County.
During the journey, he hunted two Xuan-level demons and two Spirit-level demons.
Ninety points of demon power were credited, making his usable demon power reach 186 points.
However, he didn’t encounter any King-level demonic beasts during the journey, so the task of hunting King-level demonic beasts for both roles could not be completed.
“186 points of demon power can bring one bloodline to Great Perfection.” Su Nan’s heart stirred as he looked at the Death’s Foresight on the panel. To upgrade a Xuan-level bloodline to Great Perfection, he needed 160 points of demon power. At his current strength, the upgrade of one bloodline wouldn’t make much of a difference to his overall strength. His main goal was to test his previous conjecture.
With Death’s Foresight, learning the result wouldn’t waste any time or have any trial and error costs.
Without hesitation, he used Death’s Foresight immediately.
This time, only one foresight opportunity was consumed.
If it were before, he would have thought that he had failed when he saw this
But now he was not far from the Land of the Lost, and even if he succeeded, he would most likely die there next.
[You know that your fusion speed for bloodlines is too fast. Although the bloodlines in your body seem to have merged with you, they haven’t completely fused with you. Continuing to merge new bloodlines may cause unknown dangers.]
[In your opinion, attempting to continue merging bloodlines under these circumstances can only be done by directly merging ancient demon bloodlines. You took out a Secret Power System ancient demon bloodline, intending to attempt fusion.]
[Your guess was correct. The process of merging bloodlines this time wasn’t smooth and almost failed, but eventually, you successfully merged the second bloodline.]
[However, you found a problem during the fusion process. Though you can barely continue to merge by directly merging ancient demon bloodlines, if you want to continue merging the third bloodline, you can only seek a more powerful ancient demon bloodline.]
“It really works!”
Su Nan was overjoyed, as he finally found a way to continue merging bloodlines!
This meant that his Bloodline Path could still continue.
However, looking at the subsequent prompts, he frowned again.
“After merging the second bloodline, if I want to continue merging, I can only continue searching for a more powerful ancient demon bloodline? Doesn’t that mean that the bloodlines I merge in the future must be increasingly stronger?” Su Nan’s heart sank slightly, but he wasn’t too surprised.
He wanted to merge ancient demon bloodlines because merging ordinary bloodlines would cause them to be devoured by the existing bloodlines in his body. He needed to fuse bloodlines powerful enough to contend with those in his body.
Following this logic, after merging two bloodlines, attempting to merge the third one would inevitably face devouring by the two existing bloodlines.
The need to continue searching for a more powerful bloodline than the two bloodlines made sense.
Even following this train of thought, when he was preparing to break through to the King-level, if he didn’t merge a bloodline powerful enough to easily suppress the other three, he wouldn’t be able to complete the fusion of all four bloodlines into one.
“Ancient demon bloodlines aren’t cabbages that can be picked up on the street so I can choose at will.”
“Getting one ancient demon essence blood is already extremely difficult.” If he only had one role, he might be able to continue merging more potent bloodlines, as foreseen.
But with three roles, if he had to use this method to merge them all, he wouldn’t have the ability to search for more bloodlines.
“It seems that my method of merging ancient demon essence blood is just a temporary solution and doesn’t completely solve the problem. It’s even unknown how much further I can go with it.”
Simply merging all the ancient demon essence blood would be hard for him to accomplish. Now that the bloodlines he merges must be stronger than the previous one, the difficulty for him has undoubtedly increased exponentially. If he had lived in ancient times, he might have done it without a problem and even gone very far.
Now, however, it was very difficult.
“When we get to the bridge, we’ll cross it. I can only take one step at a time.”
With a silent sigh, Su Nan continued to look at the foresight.
[Half an hour later, you reach the entrance to the Land of the Lost. Having passed through the entrance, you successfully enter the Land of the Lost, landing in a desert.]
[You know this place is a dangerous area within the Land of the Lost. Although you’re puzzled as to why you’ve descended here again, you have no choice but to walk forward.]
[One minute later, you do not encounter any danger.]
[Two minutes later, you find that your body is gradually turning into sand!]
[You dare not continue forward, stop, and try to solve the problem.]
[Three minutes later, your body has completely turned into sand.)
[You have died.]
“In the desert again?”
Su Nan wondered.
If every time he was sent to that desert, there must be a problem.
After all, if the people who entered before him were the same, as soon as they entered, they would be in the Forbidden Land, and it would be impossible for anyone to walk out of the Land of the Lost unless they knew how to get out of the desert.
But this is obviously impossible.
If the people entering before him knew the way, he would have been informed from the information he purchased from Tiangong Pavilion.
“Reached the Land of the Lost first.”
The available information in the foresight was too limited, so he could only reach the Land of the Lost first and then slowly try to foresee.
As for Demon Power, he was not in a hurry to use it either.
After entering the Land of the Lost, whether he could obtain demon power remained unknown. He needed to save it to practice the Great Sun Golden Body Scripture.
An hour later.
He arrived at Lingchang County in Silver Frost County and found the valley called Dragon Ridge.
Su Nan stood on a cliff in Longji Valley.
In front of him was an abyss that resembled a huge mouth swallowing the sky and the bottom was not visible.
That was the entrance to the Land of the Lost.
To enter, he just needed to jump down from here.
“I’ve heard of this Land of the Lost too. There’s no way out. Even if an emperor-level powerhouse enters, he won’t be able to come out. Are you sure you want to go in?” The Great Princess stood beside Su Nan, worried.
Su Nan said, “Don’t worry, haven’t I told you? I am an Outsider. If I dare to go
in, I must have a way out.”
Hearing this, the Great Princess, recalling the previous oddities of Su Nan, said nothing more.
Su Nan looked at the abyss and then at the foresight on the panel again.
The foresight began again.
This time, he specified it to foresee the future. Compared to Death’s Foresight, foreseeing the future provided more detailed information.
[You come to the entrance of the Land of the Lost and plan to enter the Land of the Lost to find a solution to the erosion of your bloodline by demonic qi.] [You jumped from the cliff, and within a few breaths, you successfully entered the Land of the Lost and arrived in a boundless desert.]
[You know that there is an unknown power in this desert, and you dare not act recklessly. All you can do is stand in place and observe.]
[One minute later, there is no change to your body.]
[Two minutes later, you find that your body begins to undergo sandification.]
[You feel anxious, knowing that if you continue to stay here, you will still die You have no choice but to flee in one direction using Across the Heavens Shift consecutively.]
[Three minutes later, you have died.]
“Standing still will also kill me?”
Su Nan frowned. The power of that desert is too strange, silently turning people into sand. He had never seen such power before.
Without stopping, he continued to foresee.
[You use Across the Heavens Shift to explore to the east, trying to find a way out of the desert.]
[Three minutes later, you have died.]
[You use Across the Heavens Shift to explore to the south, trying to find a way out of the desert.]
[Three minutes later, you have died.]
He knew too little about the desert in the Land of the Lost. Without any information related to it, he could only try the most straightforward method, searching one direction at a time, and using all available power to try to resist the forces turning him to sand.
Unfortunately, after trying all possible powers, he still did not find a way to stop the sandification of his body.
“If only my avatar stayed in reality to guard the Demon King, I could use it to explore, and maybe find something.”
He suspects that in this desert, as long as there is life, or a body made of flesh and blood, it would be sandified.
He continued to foresee until the fifth foreknowledge opportunity, and information that caught Su Nan’s eye finally appeared.
