Chapter 180 A Prodigy Arrives at the Soul Research Department (5k)

[For these promising talents who want to reap the rewards, the Red Heart Battle Group doesn't even need to intervene.]

The two demon-sealing battle groups, working together, would be enough to wipe them out.

The so-called Abyss Pact, witnessed by the will of the Abyss, is used to restrain lava demons.

[To the Red Heart Society, isn't this just a piece of toilet paper to wipe their butts?]

Although the various resources invested by these demon races have all been consumed by the Red Heart Society.

[When dealing with creditors, regardless of their type, the Chixin Society has its own set of methods for handling them.]

[So, as the lava demons retreated, and these potential supreme beings thought they could reap the rewards of the twenty-first level of hell and receive their own abyssal blessing, the Crimson Heart Society's Demon-Sealing Battle Group had already sealed off the surrounding space.]

In an instant, a merciless massacre descended upon this hellish place.

When the supreme lords of these races received the distress call and rushed to the scene, the Redheart Chapter had already been lying in wait nearby for some time.

[In the Abyss, even with two or three Supreme Lords joining forces, the Crimson Heart Battle Group was indeed powerless against them.]

But here!

It's hell!

[The Supreme Lord is fighting in Hell. The fact that the Will of Hell didn't just give him a fatal blow is already showing them respect; how could they possibly offer him any help?]

In Hell, the Supreme Lord faces far more severe targeting from the world than the Red Heart Society!

Even when the Red Heart Society retaliated against the Supreme Lord, the hellish malice lurking around the Red Heart Society began to slowly transform into benevolence from hell itself.

Although the Red Heart Society also engages in actions that harm Hell, compared to the Abyss, their actions are completely insignificant.

The most fundamental difference is that the Abyss can truly cripple Hell, even plunging it into a state of turmoil.

[The Red Heart Society is at best a microscopic parasite clinging to Hell; if Hell's will so desires, it can be easily crushed.]

The will of hell will naturally discern what is more important and what is less.

Thus, due to the deliberate shielding of the Will of Hell, the Supreme Lords who came to provide support were completely unaware of the Crimson Heart Legion's presence.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Crimson Heart Battle Group unleashed a series of fluid combos, severely injuring the Golden Demon Supreme and Cloud Demon Supreme who were the first to arrive.

The Supreme Lords who arrived later, upon sensing the powerful aura of the Crimson Heart Legion, turned and fled without hesitation.

[Even in the abyss, they can still engage in a duel with the Crimson Heart Legion.]

[But they're in hell now; for those three or five supreme lords to charge at them together would be suicide!]

Most importantly, the alliance between supreme lords is based on mutual benefit; they will work together wholeheartedly and risk their lives for their friends in times of danger.

Although the Red Heart Society only managed to kill two Supreme Lords in this operation, the spoils they brought were enough to move the entire society.

In August of the 150th year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Golden Demon and Cloud Demon clans joined forces to pressure the Lava Demon clan, demanding that they hand over the Lava Demon belonging to the Red Heart Society.

Their supreme lord perished in the lava demon's horde!

The Lava Demon clan must provide an explanation for this!

[Since a significant number of potential supreme beings perished in the twenty-first level of hell, seven demon clans followed behind the Golden Demon and Cloud Demon, increasing the pressure on the Lava Demon clan.]

Although they all knew in their hearts that the real culprit was the Red Heart Society.

However, while they have their own plans for retaliation against the Red Heart Society, they cannot inflict significant damage on them in the short term.

After all, Chi Xin possesses the power to kill a Supreme Lord, and in every battle, he displays a reckless, suicidal attitude.

In the abyss, which supreme lord doesn't hold a lofty position?

Even within the tribe, that's definitely a high-ranking position!

Once one's status, power, and other attributes of success reach extremely high levels, no living being desires death.

Therefore, as long as their absolute interests are not violated and their lives are not threatened, these supreme lords are generally unwilling to risk their lives.

After enduring countless hardships, I have finally become the Supreme Lord!

It's no exaggeration to say that they have now embarked on the path to godhood!

If all goes smoothly in the future, they will become gods!

[Eternal and immortal!]

Shining as brightly as the sun and moon!

[Be with the abyss!]

If that's the case, why risk your life?

[The Red Heart Society, this insane human organization, will obviously not be targeted by the other side unless they provoke them.]

[As for the thwarted formation of the abyss's ability to devour the world?]

[The abyss simultaneously devours multiple worlds; occasional setbacks are a normal occurrence.]

Furthermore, the benefits offered by the projected will of the Abyss may attract potential Supreme beings, but they cannot attract them!

[So that's why they don't want to fight those lunatics from the Red Heart Society. What's the point?]

[A group of short-lived species that burn out their lives; give them a few hundred years, and they will eventually turn into a handful of dust.]

Since we can't cause trouble with the Red Heart Society, let's deal with the Lava Demon Clan instead.

Despite the formidable strength of the Lava Demon race, what can they do against the combined pressure of nine demon races?

The lava demon race was also a bit confused. How did this matter suddenly become related to them?

[According to the jade tablet, the noble bloodline of the Lava Demon race is indeed in Hell.]

However, when they sent a Supreme Lord to meet them, this Supreme Lord inexplicably died in the abyss.

[Compared to guiding a future Supreme Lord, it's clear that the fall of a current Supreme Lord is more likely to attract their attention.]

After all, a genius who never grows up will always remain just a genius.

However, the situation is entirely different for a Supreme Lord.

[Just as their investigation was beginning to show promise, nine demon races arrived, demanding compensation from them.]

[Explanation?]

[Give me an explanation!]

Even if the lava demons who slaughtered these demon races weren't of high-ranking bloodlines, they wouldn't give them any explanation.

In the abyss, life and death are preordained, wealth and status are determined by fate.

[Being betrayed and killed by juniors is just plain stupid of these supreme lords!]

[What kind of supreme lord gets swindled to death, and then their clan is responsible for collecting interest on their behalf?]

Most importantly, will the resources supposedly recovered on behalf of the Supreme Lords actually be distributed to the descendants of these deceased Supreme Lords?

[In the same month, the aggressive pressure from nine demon clans, even sending their supreme lords to intimidate and threaten them, greatly angered the Lava Demon clan.]

[The Lava Demon Elder Council has issued a statement: either war or get out!]

[So slow and indecisive!]

The Lava Demon race fears no external war!

[That same month, the Lava Demon race sent three elders to Hell. They were also somewhat curious about this younger member of their clan who was stirring up trouble outside.]

[In February of the 151st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, the Demon Research Department of the Crimson Heart Society, based on the physical data and soul feedback of millions of Crimson Heart professionals, discovered a huge flaw in the Crimson Heart Crystal.]

[All professionals transformed through the Crystallization of the Pure Heart are unable to comprehend the true meaning of their own souls, or even grasp the significance represented in "The True Understanding of the Soul."]

In other words, they will never become a ninth-level professional in their lifetime.

The peak of the eighth level of cultivation is their ultimate destination!

When this news reached you, it made you frown.

[The Crimson Heart Crystal can raise the minimum combat power of Crimson Heart Society members, but in doing so, it also locks the maximum level for everyone.]

The Nine Revolutions—that's a huge watershed moment!

Therefore, after discovering this problem, the Red Heart Society quickly began in-depth research on the Red Heart Crystal.

In September of the 151st year of the Extraordinary Calendar, a young man named Wei Liu arrived at the Soul Research Center of the Red Heart Society. At the Sixth Soul Domain Research Conference, he presented a feasibility study report entitled "On Superimposed Quantum States in the Soul Domain."

This report proposes that since the powers of ninth-level professionals can be superimposed, and the soul can also generate a fusion force under the influence of the battle formation core, then the soul domains should also be able to be superimposed.

[There's absolutely no problem with this in terms of the overall direction.]

However, in reality, the realm of the soul cannot be superimposed or shared.

[Among these factors, there must be one or more that control the possibility of superposition in the realm of the soul.]

If the Crimson Heart Society can overcome this technical hurdle in the future, then the Nine-Turn professionals within the Crimson Heart Battle Group might be able to combine the powerful forces of the Soul Domain to unleash an unparalleled and formidable attack.

[This attack is destined to transcend the ninth level!] [Although many soul researchers have refuted Wei Liu's views, believing his ideas to be extremely absurd.]

As everyone knows, one can only enjoy one of the enhancements from the Soul Domain or the Battle Qi Domain.

[If Wei Liu's idea is followed, wouldn't that mean the Crimson Heart Battle Group would also be able to enjoy the benefits of multiple battle aura domains in the future?]

[With the activation of the Battle Qi Domain, the amplification effect is directly increased by tens or even hundreds of times?]

Is such an outrageous idea really possible?

However, you expressed support for the research direction on choke points. Young people should dare to think and act!

If the younger generation of the Red Heart Society lacks imaginative ideas, then the Red Heart Society's technology will likely hit a bottleneck.

With your support, Wei Liu's scientific research efforts were able to commence.

You have high expectations for this young scientific genius.

If the other side can indeed achieve the predictions in the report, then the Red Heart Society's strength will surely experience a new leap forward.

In April of the 152nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, under the military intimidation of the Red Heart Society, the army under the Lava Demon's command rampaged through the enemy lines and finally arrived at the core of the Twenty-One Hells.

[However, just as the Abyss Altar was completed and the Lava Demon was preparing to invoke the Abyss's will to devour the twenty-first floor, an anomaly occurred.]

[A large group of ninth-tier professionals in the Crimson Heart Battle Group suddenly turned bloodshot, staring intently at the abyss altar.]

This feeling of being out of control made them instinctively want to destroy the abyssal altar.

Driven by their absolute faith in you, they forcefully suppressed the turmoil in their hearts.

However, they knew very well that as the Abyss Altar was constructed, their urges grew stronger.

If this continues, they'll eventually reach their breaking point.

[So you ordered the Lava Demons to halt the construction of the Abyss Altar, to resume only after you and the Redheart Chapter had left.]

[In the same month, based on your investigation, you discover that the ninth-ranked professional with bloodshot eyes and a strong desire to destroy the Abyss Altar is one of those who took the Enlightenment Potion.]

The Red Heart Society has yet to discover any side effects or drawbacks to the True Spirit Factor extracted from the demons of hell.

[The real side effects are actually here!]

Essentially, this is an instinctive reaction of beings from hell.

[The moment the twenty-first level of hell is about to be swallowed by the abyss, all the forces within hell will rise up in rebellion.]

[All beings in hell would probably instinctively want to destroy that abyssal altar.]

In other words, those who take the Enlightenment Potion and become Nine-Turn professionals have been subtly and imperceptibly influenced by the Will of Hell, and have been anchored as beings of Hell.

Fortunately, the number of ninth-level professionals who took the Enlightenment Potion was not very large, only around two hundred.

Therefore, you temporarily transferred them away from Hell.

The Red Heart Chapter, if they can remain, will greatly ensure the success of the Lava Demons' conquest.

After all, the process of the abyss devouring the first layer of hell would inevitably provoke a backlash from the great demons.

Although there are many Supreme Lords in the Abyss, if these Supreme Lords were to arrive, and the Lava Demons didn't have demigod-level combat power to intervene, then the conquest of the twenty-first floor might not necessarily belong to the Lava Demons.

In July of the 152nd year of the Extraordinary Calendar, after completing all preparations, the Lava Demon once again began setting up the Abyss Altar, preparing to summon the Will of the Abyss.

But soon, you receive a message from a former member of the Red Hearts Legion.

Even though they were in the abyss, completely separated from hell, they still felt an instinctive aversion and longing.

It's one thing if they didn't know the lava demons had set up an abyssal altar on the 21st floor of Hell, but the crucial point is, they did know!

【so!】

They want to go back!

They're going to destroy the Abyss Altar!

The power unleashed by over a hundred ninth-tier professionals in this state of irrationality caused by immense desire was truly terrifying.

Most importantly, as the core members of the Red Heart Battle Group, they will fight together.

They would even instinctively activate various energies of the Red Heart Battle Group.

[After all, he is a ninth-level professional; with the combination of various clone skills, the power he unleashes is something even the Orca Squad couldn't withstand.]

[One more thing, these ninth-tier professionals are allies.]

Therefore, many lethal weapons, cursed military equipment, and other methods targeting ninth-level professionals are unusable.

The best method is to use pure power to suppress them in place, rendering them completely immobile, both physically and spiritually.

Even with the combined might of the Demon-Sealing Battle Group, Sword Elder could not possess such immense power.

After all, the veteran, the strongest fighter in the Red Heart Society, was also among this group of uncontrollable ninth-level professionals.

[The only one in the Red Heart Society capable of possessing such power is the Red Heart Battle Group, enhanced by your battle aura domain.]

Thus, we are now caught in an awkward and vicious cycle.

[Since the Crimson Hearts Legion isn't on the twenty-first level of Hell, the Lava Demon dares not summon the Abyss Will and the Supreme Lord to wage war.]

If the Crimson Heart Battle Group stays here, the two hundred Rank 9 professionals on the other side of the abyss will riot.

However, if the Red Heart Battle Group were to return and suppress these ninth-tier professionals, the situation would once again fall into the same predicament as before.

Thus, the Lava Demon's second attempt to summon the will of the abyss ended in failure once again.

[In the same month, the will of hell, manifesting as blood-red eyes, descended once more.]

[He is telling you that you have been fooled by the will of the abyss. No matter when or where, you must never believe the lies of the will of the abyss.]

Only the will of hell makes an honest, good child!

As for the Lava Demon who joined the Red Heart Society, as a product of the Abyss, once he becomes a Supreme Lord, he will inevitably consider matters from the perspective of the Abyss.

You should understand the principle that your position determines your status.

[And those ninth-tier professionals under your command can be considered a welcoming gift from Hell.]

Take a look!

[Upon arriving in Hell, Chi Xin will possess a soul-enhancing method without any side effects.]

As for their determination to fight to protect Hell?

Is that a side effect?

Hell shelters all living beings, who dwell on the land it nurtures and consume everything produced there.

[Isn't it reasonable for such a situation to occur when Hell is in danger, and even one layer of the world is about to be swallowed up?]

Just as when the Crimson Heart World is invaded by the Abyss, and a part of it is completely occupied by the Abyss, wouldn't there also be cries of heaven echoing around?

Therefore, this is a very normal behavior!

Even if you insist on considering this a side effect, are there any other drawbacks besides this?

No, right?

[As long as you lead the Red Heart Society to join Hell, Hell can guarantee that the new Hell dimension after the Red Heart World is integrated will belong entirely to the Red Heart Society!]

No great demon will invade this new layer of hell.

Can the other side of the abyss give you such a guarantee?

Most importantly, Hell produces great demons and has a large production capacity for the true spirit factors needed by the Red Heart Society.

[As long as the Red Heart Society is fully integrated into Hell, we can guarantee that within five hundred years, a second great demon will emerge from the Red Heart Society!]

【how?】

This sincerity is truly invaluable!

The will of the abyss would never offer you such precious sincerity!

【how?】

[Would you like to consider this?]

[Having spent this time with you, the Will of Hell has gained a certain understanding of your personality.]

Simply put, you're the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

[If you are lured with benefits, there might still be a sliver of a chance for them to submit.]

However, if threatened, you'll most likely fight to the death.

Therefore, this time, the Will of Hell is employing a one-sided strategy of enticement.
