Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

In particular, the mark on his neck, which resembled a reverse scale, was still there at this time.

Moreover, the intensity of the branding seemed to have increased within such a short period of time.

The colors became deeper.

The power within seemed to have become even more terrifying.

The burning sensation on the body's surface mostly comes from this 'reverse scale'.

The power within those magical runes is also closely related to the power within this 'Reverse Scale'.

"Little Coal Ball, you stay here too!"

"If anything happens during my meditation, please wake me up immediately!"

Long Haoyu also gave a word of advice to the little coal ball that peeked out from Wufeng.

He didn't spell it out too clearly, but after working with Little Coal Ball many times, he believed that Little Coal Ball would understand what he was trying to say.

Little Coal Ball understood Long Haoyu's arrangement, transformed into a tiny figure, and sat upright on the hilt of the bladeless sword, seemingly beginning to prepare.

Only the little white beast, with its pink eyes fixed on the 'reverse scale' mark on Long Haoyu's neck after Long Haoyu's clothes were torn to shreds.

"Chirp chirp~"

It was unclear what they were talking about, but the little white beast gently poked at the mark on Long Haoyu's neck with its tiny paw.

One poke wasn't enough, and they immediately wanted to poke again.

"You little rascal, are you addicted to poking me?" Long Haoyu was amused by the little white beast's expression and slapped it on the head in an annoyed manner.

Having forcibly suppressed the little guy, all his thoughts were now gathered back into his heart.

Consciousness slowly sank into the shadow space.

……

In the shadow space.

The sky seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

Unlike the Shadow Space before, upon entering this place again, Long Haoyu clearly sensed that it was enveloped by a repressive atmosphere.

Being in such an atmosphere greatly affected everyone's mood, much like when the Demon Emperor descended upon the Exorcism Pass, making everyone in the Exorcism Pass feel oppressed.

"It seems you've already noticed the changes here."

The shadow instructor appeared like a ghost not far in front of Long Haoyu, looking up at the dark clouds overhead.

Looking at the numerous demonic patterns covering Long Haoyu's bare upper body, it was not surprising at all that Long Haoyu would come to the Shadow Space at this moment.

Long Haoyu stared at the dark clouds gathering above the dome: "How did this place become like this? Is it related to the changes I've undergone?"

"That's right, there's a direct connection!"

The shadow instructor said in a deep voice, "This time, your actions have caused an imbalance between the two bloodline powers within you."

"Therefore, you now need to endure a lot of backlash, and the backlash your body is enduring will directly affect the shadow space."

Long Haoyu listened silently as the Shadow Instructor spoke, then looked down at the demonic runes on his body.

He squinted slightly at the demonic runes on his body and said, word by word, "So, in other words, the demonic bloodline within me is currently suppressing the human bloodline, and there's even a trend of the human bloodline being assimilated?"

The shadow instructor hummed in agreement, nodding in confirmation of the guess.

Upon receiving a definite answer from the Shadow Instructor, a brilliant light flashed in Long Haoyu's eyes.

More than 6,000 years ago, 72 pillars of demon gods descended upon the Holy Demon Continent. At that time, many races were assimilated by the pillars of demon gods and became the demon race we know today.

Unexpectedly, he himself encountered a similar situation, which was caused by an imbalance of power in the process of the coexistence of two bloodlines.

"If you don't control this demonic bloodline, assimilation will be your ultimate fate," the shadow instructor continued.

Long Haoyu did not deny it: "I understand. According to this situation, after I am eventually assimilated, I will become a true demon. The coexistence of two bloodlines will be a luxury for me forever!"

"Not bad!"

Long Haoyu remained silent.

He examined the magic runes on his body again, feeling the burning sensation emanating from his skin.

My breath gradually became hot.

"Shouldn't there be a solution to this situation?"

Long Haoyu pondered for a moment: "Instructor, you are not worried about the changes here, you must have already come up with a solution!"

The Shadow Instructor said, "Actually, whether this place changes or not has no effect on me, because I am you. Whatever you are, I am."

"However, if you're asking about a solution to the current situation, I do have one, but it's not for you..."

A shrewd glint flashed in Long Haoyu's eyes: "What method?"

"Burning blood!!"

Chapter 257: The Six Paths Spirit Furnace's Assistance, Cai'er Regains Her Sight

Burning blood?

Long Haoyu was slightly surprised.

Upon hearing Shadow Instructor's answer, his brows furrowed instantly.

Judging from the literal meaning, he probably already understood what the Shadow Instructor was trying to express.

"Instructor, what you mean by 'burning blood' is that I should temporarily burn away the uncontrolled demonic bloodline within me, while retaining the part that I can still control?"

"Or rather, it's about burning away the portion of my human bloodline that was originally mine, which was assimilated by the power of the demon bloodline, and eventually restoring balance?"

Long Haoyu asked in a deep voice, briefly analyzing what he thought of the Burning Blood technique, and waited thoughtfully for Instructor Shadow's answer.

The shadow instructor nodded slightly: "That's right, burning blood means burning away a portion of the demonic blood within you."

"Only by restoring the balance between the two bloodlines in your body can you restore this place to its original state and truly regain control of your body."

"Otherwise, once the demon bloodline has completely assimilated you, you will no longer be a human; you will become a true demon!"

call……

Long Haoyu exhaled a heavy breath.

Hearing what the shadow instructor said, he felt immense pressure.

Becoming a true demon was never an option for him.

However, if the current problems are not resolved in time, it will only be a matter of time before they become true demons.

"Instructor, tell me how to ignite my blood!"

"Such lesions need to be removed as soon as possible!"

"The bloodline power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan is extremely strong. Given the current situation, the human bloodline within me may soon be completely assimilated."

Long Haoyu's eyes hardened.

I will not dwell on this matter any further.

When problems arise, he solves them; this has always been his approach.

The shadow instructor had anticipated that Long Haoyu would give such an answer, and a phantom shadow appeared in front of Long Haoyu.

Faint characters appeared among these illusory shadows.

"This is the method of burning blood!"

"However, the pain caused by this blood-burning method is more difficult than your previous dual-blood coexistence fusion!"

"Strictly speaking, this blood-burning is like burning your own life force, which will cause you tremendous damage in a short period of time!"

The shadow instructor spoke solemnly, his expression extremely grave, as he weighed the pros and cons for Long Haoyu.

Long Haoyu's expression was solemn, but he did not show the slightest fear: "Instructor, I have died countless times during my training in the Shadow Space."

"I'm not afraid of death anymore, so why should I be afraid of some pain? Besides, this kind of burning blood is the path I have to take now."

"Otherwise, if I were to become a demon, I would become stronger, but I would also be completely useless."

"At that time, I will no longer be the real me!"

The powerful words echoed in the shadow space.

Long Haoyu had almost forgotten how many times he had said something similar in a firm tone.

It seems that when he first awakened the Shadow Space, the Shadow Instructor said that he would be killed in it.

that time……

It seems incredibly similar to the current scene.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed, and the number of deaths has been countless.

It's just a matter of burning blood now; he doesn't need to show any fear.

No matter what lies ahead, all you need to do is forge ahead.

The shadow instructor said no more, quietly watching Long Haoyu as he absorbed the words in the phantom image one by one, a look of deep melancholy on his face.

The momentary sense of loss clearly fell into Long Haoyu's eyes.

There wasn't much time to process these feelings of disappointment; Long Haoyu focused all his attention on how to control the Blood Burning Technique.

All the methods were absorbed into my mind.

Long Haoyu sat cross-legged in the shadow space, and the magical runes on his body began to change accordingly.

Invisible flames burned within these magical runes. As Long Haoyu sensed these burning runes, it felt as if two streaks of purplish-black energy were being exhaled from his nostrils.

A ferocious expression instantly appeared on his face.

Just as the Shadow Instructor said, the pain was no less than that of the path of fusion where two bloodlines coexist.
