From the end of the world

Chapter 580 The Great Demon Black Tortoise Flesh and Blood

This mass of black water is the flesh and blood of the great demon Xuanwu.

Black water is just like black flames, a very high density of mana aggregate. Just like the matter of a white dwarf cannot exist without a white dwarf, the flesh and blood of the Great Demon Black Tortoise cannot exist without the Great Demon Black Tortoise. Why did I suddenly become able to preserve this ball of black water? The answer lies in the eclipse fire.

To go further, it lies in the earth attribute magic power.

The Four Symbols and Five Elements are a very profound and changeable field. Not only can the fire of the Vermillion Bird be transformed into the earth of the Yellow Dragon according to the relationship between fire and earth, but also different changes can be achieved according to the relationship between earth and water. The generation and restraint relationship of the Five Elements can refer to the relationship between elements in nature. Soil can preserve water and become a hotbed for plants. Therefore, "earth" will restrain "water" and be restrained by "wood".

The key here is that earth magic has the ability to preserve water magic. The black flame of the Great Demon of Disaster can also be used to seal and restrict the flesh and blood of the Great Demon Xuanwu.

The reason why I was able to realize this in the previous battle was not entirely a flash of inspiration, but also the experience of the Great Demon of Disaster. To be honest, the Great Demon of Disaster's experience with the eclipse form did not originally include how to use earth mana to limit water mana, but it happened to conflict with the Great Demon Xuanwu not long ago, and the remaining relevant experience was inherited by me. The feedback generated when the earth mana and water mana conflicted allowed me to analyze the feasibility of this approach.

When the "Solar Eclipse" swallowed up the Great Demon Xuanwu completely, I intercepted and preserved a part of it, which is what I am showing to Xiaowan now.

By the way, although I have taken out the black flame now, this black flame is not directly maintained by me.

The black flame that reaches the earth realm needs the eclipse form to maintain, but I can't maintain the eclipse form for a long time. Having said that, before taking the flesh and blood of the great demon Xuanwu to Ma Zao, I must use the black flame to preserve it. So what should I do? The method I came up with is to use my normal flame as fuel to feed the black flame while leaving the eclipse form.

With external fuel, my flame can continue to exist without itself, and now it is just doing the same thing. Although the black flame is not a "flame" in the final analysis, but a "foreign object like flame", it does not necessarily have the concept of relying on external fuel to sustain itself, but just like the Great Demon of Disaster can try to devour me, the black flame can also devour my flame to replenish itself.

To put it extremely, I am nothing more than a ball of "self-aware flame". So as long as I transform my consciousness into preset instructions and input them into the black flame, so that it has the setting of automatically absorbing the power of normal flames, this ball of black flame can actually be regarded as a "super mini version of the Great Demon of Disaster".

In this way, the container for preserving the flesh and blood of the great demon Xuanwu was completed.

I only explained a few words, and Xiaowan seemed to completely understand my approach. Then he said in a surprised and admiring tone: "What a good idea! Thanks to Brother Zhuang Cheng for coming up with such an idea."

Hearing my quick wit being praised by Xiaowan, who is always very smart, I felt my vanity quietly swelling.

"However, is such a small piece of the Great Demon Black Tortoise's flesh and blood really enough?" Xiaowan asked worriedly.

"In fact, there is more than just this small ball. There are a lot of others stored in the black flame, but I didn't decompress them." I said.

"That's good." Xiaowan showed a relieved expression.

I put away the black flame. At this moment, I sensed a fluctuation in the space not far away, and at the same time, the fragment of the divine seal in my consciousness vibrated slightly. Turning around, I saw No. 7 appear near the gas station. She was carrying a shoulder bag and walked towards us.

"You look very happy, did something good happen?" she asked.

"It's just that I got some spoils. It's a long story, but if you want to hear it, I can explain it in detail later," I said.

"The spoils..." No. 7 looked at me deeply, "You defeated them, right? When I was active in Huangquan Gospel Temple, the earthquakes and shock waves caused by your battle kept coming over.

"Fortunately, you and Huang Quan kept moving the battle site far away from the Gospel Court, so the impact here was barely within the acceptable range, but I could still clearly sense the fluctuations of your mana throughout the whole process. In the end, the fluctuations of the mana of the Great Demon Xuanwu and Huang Quan disappeared one after another... The Great Demon Xuanwu must have been killed by you, so what about Huang Quan? Did he commit suicide, or did he die in your hands?"

"I killed Huang Quan," I said, "using the power of the true spirit."

"...Really?" Number 7 seemed a little unbelievable for a moment.

That's normal. Even if she knew that I'm stronger than Huang Quan now, she probably couldn't imagine that I could kill Huang Quan faster than he committed suicide.

Although this may be a meaningless comparison, among all the great impermanence, when it comes to the speed of suicide, I say I am second, and no one can claim to be first. This is probably a major advantage of "apparition". Because I am not only a body, I can even freely decompose the soul into fire elements, and fire is an extremely explosive and destructive force, so when I want to self-destruct, I only need a thought.

The other Great Impermanence were different. Regardless of their bodies, their souls were the foundation of their existence. In order to withstand their own extremely huge mana output and resist attacks from opponents of the same level, their souls had extremely high density. To describe it, it was like compressing a huge mass like a mountain into a human-sized container. Even if it was oneself, it would not be possible to completely destroy it with just a little effort.

There are also people who make themselves too resistant to death and cannot die no matter what they want, such as Youhun. And people like Huangquan who can kill themselves by just raising their hands and slapping themselves in the face may be among the top players in the Great Impermanence in terms of suicide speed.

I even wondered if he had received special training so that he could commit suicide quickly in case of an emergency.

Thinking of this, the scene of Huang Quan secretly practicing suicide because he was afraid of death emerged in my mind. It felt quite humorous.

And No. 7 seemed to have finally digested this fact, and said in a complicated tone, "...Then, he must be really dead and can never be resurrected."

The Great Demon of Disaster and Huang Quan were both her enemies, and both died at my hands. It must be unpleasant to think that the chance of revenge is always taken away by others. While I am happy about the death of my enemies, I also feel sorry why I was not the one who killed them. Although I have never hated anyone from the bottom of my heart, I can more or less imagine that state of mind.

I changed the subject and asked, "So, what about you? Number 7, did you take out everything we wanted as agreed at the beginning?"

"Of course."

Number 7 quickly collected his expression and took out two items from his shoulder bag.

One of the items was a blue folder containing thick white paper documents; the other item was a small black jade stone, which was the fragment of the divine seal.

No. 7's hands were wrapped in black tactical gloves and did not come into direct contact with the fragment of the divine seal. This fragment of the divine seal was still ownerless at this moment, and the slight vibration of the fragment of the divine seal in my consciousness came from this.

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and obtained the technical data of 'Dushuo Mountain' and the fragments of the ownerless divine seal."

As he spoke, No. 7 handed me the blue folder - the "Dushuo Mountain" technical data, and added: "This is a copy from Huangquan Gospel Institute. The original is left there. This way, we can create the illusion that the key technical data has not been leaked."

After taking the technical information, I put it into my own flame and took out two other items from the flame.

These two items are the Sansheng Stone Powder that No. 7 delivered last time, and the wooden box that Shenzhao gave me in the past, which contains fragments of the divine seal and also contains an ownerless divine seal fragment.

Together with the ownerless fragment of the divine seal that No. 7 took out, and the fragment of the divine seal that Xiaowan bound himself, the three fragments of the divine seal were collected.

The three fragments of the divine seal are the necessary conditions for "not dying after taking the Sansheng Stone Powder".

"Xiaowan, are you ready?" I asked.

Xiao Wan said seriously, "...Yes, Brother Zhuang Cheng, I'm ready."

By taking the San Sheng Stone Powder, one can regain the memories lost due to the infection of madness... and unlike the situation of the wandering soul, taking the San Sheng Stone Powder normally can only regain the part of the memory that one wishes to restore; but by taking the San Sheng Stone Powder using the method that will be used next, not only will one not die, but one can also regain all of one's past memories.

If the wandering soul knew about this, how would he feel? He would definitely have some feelings, but he probably wouldn't say something like "If I had known there was a way to not die..." Because he didn't "prefer death to restore memory", but "restore memory for death". "Restore memory" is just a necessary condition for his pursuit of death, and it is also a wish that must be satisfied in order for him to die with his eyes closed.

"How should we implement this next?" I looked at No. 7. "You said not long ago that you would provide us with specific technical support. You should know the details of the method, right?"

Number 7 nodded, and then said to Xiaowan, "Then... Xiaowan, please bind these two fragments of the divine seal first."
