Chapter 596: 318: Memory of the Demon Beast_2
Su Nan was quite disappointed.
Although more than four hundred points of Human Clan’s Luck had given birth to the God Soul Seed, it could not view the desired memory.
“There are still more than two hundred points of demon race’s luck, should I use them too?”
Looking at the panel, he thought for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and chose to use it without hesitation.
Having come this far, giving up now would undoubtedly mean quitting halfway.
Although if he just wanted to know what happened more than a hundred years ago, besides the God Soul Seed, he could also use the power of the Ancient God Tomb to enter the Illusion Realm from a hundred years ago.
However, the limitation of using the Illusion Realm is too great.
Even if he could go back to the time when Du Qiyuan entered the Black Demon Lake, he would most likely be discovered by Du Qiyuan and Demonic Thought before he even approached the Black Demon Lake. It would be basically impossible to find out what happened between them.
Only by reviewing memories would it be the most reliable method.
This time, he didn’t even use foreknowledge, directly urging the Art of Fate!
“Here it comes again!”
The demon beast, which was heading in Su Nan’s direction, sensed the problem immediately, and its face instantly turned extremely ugly.
It wanted to resist, but unfortunately, its Qi Luck had been exhausted, and it was now powerless to defend itself.
Fortunately, this inexplicable crisis came quickly and left just as quickly.
When the crisis disappeared, the demon beast did not find anything unusual happening around it.
“Is it over?”
The demon beast was confused.
However, for some reason, even though the crisis had disappeared, it still had an uneasy feeling.
After thinking about it, it decided to carefully examine its body, even its Divine Soul, for any abnormalities.
However, after a thorough examination of its entire body, it didn’t find any issues.
Only when it confirmed that there was no problem with its body did the demon beast finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It didn’t know that if it had just had the God Soul Seed planted, it might have been able to find something unusual with its actions, but now, it was too late!
At this moment, inside its Divine Soul, the God Soul Seed was undergoing changes again.
Compared to before, the God Soul Seed did not sprout new leaves, but the invisible roots that had penetrated into the demon’s Divine Soul had grown longer and denser!
The direct result was that some previously blank pages now had memories written on them.
Most importantly, Su Nan was finally able to view the memories from a hundred years ago, including those related to Du Qiyuan.
Unfortunately, like the other memories, this memory was also fragmented, and there was only a small portion, not much.
In the memory, the sleeping demon beast was suddenly awakened, and upon opening its eyes, it discovered that a martial artist had actually entered the Black Demon Lake without fear of Demonic Qi’s corrosion. That person was none other than Du Qiyuan.
“Little guy, you really are not afraid of death, daring to enter here. You’re the first person to do so in ten thousand years!”
In the memory, the demon beast spoke first.
Du Qiyuan didn’t waste any words and directly said, “Senior, you have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years. Why don’t we make a deal?”
“A deal?”
The demon beast was surprised, and soon after, it seemed to notice the problem with Du Qiyuan: “You want me to help you remove the Demonic Qi from your body?”
Du Qiyuan nodded: “That’s right. As long as Senior can resolve the Demonic Qi in my body, I am willing to help Senior break this formation.”
“Oh? You know formations?”
Hearing this, the demon beast was obviously moved. After thinking about it, it said, “If you were practicing the ancient Human Clan’s scriptures, I could simply extract the Demonic Qi from your body without any impact on you.”
“Unfortunately, you are practicing the Bloodline Path. This method of cultivation not only has average power, but also many drawbacks, just like your current situation. If I’m not mistaken, your body was already corroded by the Demonic Qi during the mid-stage Xuan-level.”
“After that, you merged two Xuan-level bloodlines and four King-level bloodlines to achieve your current strength.”
Du Qiyuan nodded: “That’s right.”
He paused for a moment, seeming to realize something, and asked, “How is that a problem?”
The demon sneered, “If you hadn’t continued to fuse bloodlines after being corroded by demonic qi, I could have helped you extract the demonic qi, but now as you’ve fused with other bloodlines, the demonic qi has completely integrated with your bloodline.”
“If you forcibly extract the demonic qi, it can only draw out all the Xuan-level and King-level bloodlines you’ve fused with. As a result, your strength will plummet to Xuan-level or even Spirit-level.”
“Extracting the bloodline?” Du Qiyuan’s face looked terrible, obviously not expecting such an outcome.
Seeing this, Su Nan’s face darkened as well.
He wasn’t surprised that Du Qiyuan sought the demon’s help to solve the problem of demonic qi corrosion.
In his previous foreknowledge, when Du Qiyuan said that the only way to solve the demonic qi was to rely on a demon beast, he suspected that Du Qiyuan’s visit to the Black Demon Lake was to ask the demon for help with his demonic qi problem. Now he had just received confirmation.
However, he also didn’t expect the consequences of being corroded by demonic qi to be so severe that it required the extraction of the bloodline.
“No wonder no one could solve the problem of bloodlines being corroded by demonic qi. I’m afraid no one ever thought that the corrosion would require the extraction of the bloodline!” Su Nan’s face turned pale.
He had never heard of anyone being able to extract a fused bloodline.
Perhaps the human clan didn’t even have such a secret technique now.
After all, since ancient times, a break in the human clan’s cultivation methods had occurred, and many secret techniques were either unusable or lost.
Moreover, the cultivation method of the human clan in ancient times was not the Bloodline Path, so it’s normal not to have corresponding secret techniques.
Continuing to read on.
The subsequent memories made his face change continuously.
In the memory, the demon said, “Given your current situation, you’re not far from losing control. If you don’t want to lose control now, there is only one way: to become a complete demon beast!”
“Become a complete demon beast?” Upon hearing this, Du Qiyuan’s expression changed.
After contemplating for a long time, he seemed to make up his mind and said, “Alright!”
With that, this memory came to an abrupt end.
“He actually agreed?”
Su Nan was surprised, not expecting the demon’s solution for Du Qiyuan’s demonic qi corruption to be becoming a complete demon beast.
What he didn’t expect either was that Du Qiyuan actually agreed!
“If you can’t beat it, join it? If you can’t solve the problem of demonic qi, become a demon beast?”
Su Nan’s face looked strange, not expecting Du Qiyuan to choose this method to solve the problem of demonic qi. Wasn’t this asking for death?
Upon becoming a demon beast, one’s divine soul and consciousness would be affected and the personality would change drastically. In a blunt way of speaking, the existence after becoming a demon beast is no longer the original self.
“No! Things may not be that simple. Du Qiyuan may have chosen to become a demon beast because he knew about the extinction of the human clan and only by becoming a demon beast could he escape the catastrophe.”
“Moreover, from the memory, it seems that Du Qiyuan is not averse to becoming a demon beast.”
As a demon beast, there are advantages. Firstly, there is no need to worry about the problems of demonic qi anymore. Demonic qi will not only cease to cause damage to oneself, but it will also become the cornerstone for growing stronger.
The second advantage is immortality!
This is the most important point and the fundamental reason why many martial artists want to become demon beasts.
However, becoming a demon beast is not that simple.
The number of demon beasts is fixed at three thousand. Without a demon beast dying, no new demon beast can be born. Ordinary martial artists, even if they want to become demon beasts, are unlikely to succeed; most likely, they will lose control in the end.
Moreover, to become a demon beast, one needs to cultivate demon techniques!
The cultivation of demon techniques requires demonic qi, the dangers of which are beyond imagination. Ordinary people might die from demonic qi corrosion before they even manage to cultivate the demon techniques.
“Could it be that the only way to solve the problem of demonic qi corrosion is to become a demon beast?” Su Nan’s heart sank.
According to the demon’s statement, to solve the problem of demonic qi, one must extract the corroded bloodline. To achieve this, a corresponding secret technique is needed!
Perhaps the demon’s memory contains such a secret technique. As long as the divine soul seed continues to grow, he will be able to obtain it.
However, the issue is that once the bloodline is extracted, one’s strength will be greatly reduced.
You have to know that he had been corroded by the demonic qi from the mortal level. If the bloodline is extracted, this character, Wang Nan, might essentially be ruined!
That is something he is unwilling to accept!
“Do I really have to become a demon beast?” Su Nan’s eyes flickered.
