Chapter 180: The Soul-Devouring Body's Persona Has Collapsed!

Chapter 180: The Soul-Devouring Body's Persona Has Collapsed!

The gushing blood was instantly stopped under the wrap of the Pure Phoenix Flame.

A new arm grew back savagely from the severed limb, visible to the naked eye.

Within ten breaths, a flawless, jade-white arm was reborn.

Qin Xuan waved his hand in front of the dazed Wu Bingqing. "What are you thinking about?"

He chin-nudged toward the incoming horde of Ice Beasts. "It's time to test whether what I said is true or false!"

Wu Bingqing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, with a mind to try, or perhaps influenced by the evil thoughts of slaughter, she charged out once again.

With one slash of her sword, she decapitated an Ice Beast. Pitch-black, filthy evil thoughts could be seen swirling around her body, yet they were never absorbed.

For the first time ever, Wu Bingqing found it unbelievable.

This was an experience she had never had in her past.

Regardless of whether her body could bear the burden, the evil thoughts should have been absorbed by the Soul-Devouring Body.

It would continue until the moment of collapse, directly entering a new round of Reincarnation.

Now, she hadn't even lost consciousness, so why were the evil thoughts no longer growing?

Baffled, she continued to charge into the horde of Ice Beasts, slaughtering them continuously.

Leng Li, watching clearly from within the ancient prison-suppressing tower, praised, "The Soul-Devouring Body is truly a God of War Physique, improving and sublimating through battle."

"You've actually patched up its only flaw. I'm truly curious about what kind of unique Physique you possess. It's completely unheard of. To think that a single severed arm could suppress the ferocity of the Soul-Devouring Body!"

"If I didn't know you were a descendant of the Great Demon God, I would suspect whether you were even a Cultivator of this world."

Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "Are you implying that there are other worlds besides the Hongmeng Continent?"

Leng Li paused for a moment. Qin Xuan, who knew everything inside the small tower, could see her gaze become evasive, as if she was highly resistant. She perfunctorily prevaricated, "Naturally. Isn't this Land of Fallen Emperors, as well as the previous Dragon Blood Secret Realm, equivalent to worlds of their own?"

Qin Xuan didn't press further. Since Leng Li was unwilling to mention her origins, he would just play dumb and pretend to be kept in the dark.

Within less than half an hour, Wu Bingqing had completely slaughtered the horde of Ice Beasts.

She returned to Qin Xuan's side, the blood-red ferocity in her eyes fading away, replaced by endless joy. Staring at Qin Xuan with her clear, excited eyes, she said, "Qin Xuan, you are amazing!"

"You really suppressed my Soul-Devouring Body! The flame you created completely burned away the remnant souls clinging to my body, and your arm can even stop my Physique from absorbing more evil thoughts from remnant souls!"

"Throughout the continuous slaughter, I can maintain absolute sanity. I can also feel my Realm recovering, allowing me to completely control my own consciousness, no longer manipulated by those evil thoughts."

Qin Xuan nodded with a smile. "That's for the best. This is exactly what I expected. However, I am still a bit surprised. Your method of killing enemies is like a master butcher carving a bull—exquisite, peerless, and dazzling."

Wu Bingqing lowered her head in embarrassment, tapping the ice with her toe. "Not really..."

She never expected that killing could also be praised.

In the past, others always called her a demon.

Only Qin Xuan would think her killing was effortless and exquisite, right?

Wu Bingqing stared at Qin Xuan, her mind wandering into flights of fancy.

Qin Xuan really is special!

He is different from everyone else she had met in the past.

He is a unique existence.

Being with him, she felt no mental burden at all; it was very comfortable!

Qin Xuan gazed at the endless Ice Palace in the distance and said slowly, "There's no time to waste here. While you continue to recover your strength, we must go search for Poseixi's Legacy."

He wasn't worried about the Third Prince's side.

He doesn't have any identity buff.

There's absolutely no fear of him obtaining the Legacy of the God of Ice, Poseixi.

But Saint Son Chen Fan, who entered as well, is different. That guy is a Child of Luck, and it's extremely easy for him to stumble into dumb luck.

We must get ahead of him to obtain the Legacy and boost Leng Li's strength!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Qin Xuan and Wu Bingqing were inseparable, slaying over a hundred thousand Ice Beasts, and they even encountered more than one Saint King Realm Ice Beast.

They only managed to kill them with great difficulty by relying on two quasi-emperor artifacts to repeatedly blast them with raw force.

Qin Xuan had no intention of pocketing the quasi-emperor artifact, the domain-suppressing cauldron, and instead took the initiative to return it to Wu Bingqing.

Otherwise, once Wu Bingqing recovered her full memory, a rift would surely form in her heart.

By pocketing the domain-suppressing cauldron, Qin Xuan would only gain a single quasi-emperor artifact.

But if he returned the quasi-emperor artifact, Wu Bingqing, the quasi-emperor artifact, and even her Soul-Devouring Body would all be his!

The only thing that disappointed Qin Xuan was that the speed of Wu Bingqing's Realm recovery had begun to slow down drastically.

Previously, in just one day, Wu Bingqing had soared from the Supernatural Realm to the Peak of the Yin-Yang Realm.

Now, after three days, Wu Bingqing had actually not yet advanced to Quasi-Saint!

Her speed had plummeted by who knows how much.

Moreover, the speed of Wu Bingqing's memory recovery also began to slow down.

Memories rarely popped up in succession anymore.

On this day,

After slaughtering thousands of Ice Beasts, Qin Xuan took a short break and sat cross-legged by a campfire. He held a water-fire staff skewered with a prime cut of Ice Beast thigh meat, roasting it with his Pure Phoenix Flame.

Golden grease dripped onto the fire, making crackling sounds as a rich, meaty aroma filled the air for ten miles around.

*Gulp!*

Wu Bingqing subconsciously swallowed her saliva. Staring at the golden, dripping thigh meat, she looked at Qin Xuan's profile and said with a grin, "It smells so good!"

"Qin Xuan, I'm hungry."

Qin Xuan sliced off a piece of thigh meat with a dagger, placed it on a simple Heaven-grade Treasure Artifact, and handed it to Wu Bingqing. "You little glutton, here's enough for you!"

Watching Wu Bingqing shimmy her hips closer and closer until she was pressed against him, he asked suspiciously, "Why are you eating so close to me?"

"It's warm!" Wu Bingqing nibbled on the thigh meat, unhesitatingly tilting her head to stare at Qin Xuan as she said with a grin, "The closer I am to you, the warmer it is."

"The deeper we go into this Ice Palace, the colder it gets. If I don't stay close, I'll freeze to death."

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Please, you have the Soul-Devouring Body. You're a peerless god of slaughter, the symbol of ferocity! How did you turn into a sweet, naive girl after staying with me for less than three days? Your persona has totally collapsed!"

"It's one thing to be a sweet, naive girl, but your Realm isn't even rising anymore. You used to be at the Peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm, able to rival the Saint King Realm when you erupted. Right now, you've been stuck at the seventh layer of the Heavenly Human Realm for a whole day. What, do you think breaking through will put a mental burden on me?"

"The stronger you are, the safer we are. Otherwise, as we go further, who knows what kind of dangers we'll encounter!"

Wu Bingqing leaned in very close, her clear eyes staring at Qin Xuan with a smile as she countered, "Saying all this, you're worried about me being killed by those Ice Beasts, right? You're worried about me, aren't you?"

Qin Xuan firmly pushed away Wu Bingqing's exquisite face as she leaned in.

Wu Bingqing squeezed hard against his side, her delicate, small oval face squishing into a chubby, pink bun face.

Looking at Wu Bingqing, who now had no barriers with him and was even being overly intimate, Qin Xuan pretended to be angry and snapped, "If you don't work hard to raise your cultivation to Quasi-Saint before tomorrow, don't sleep next to me at night! Go sleep inside your giant cauldron!"

Wu Bingqing stood up with a whoosh and marched off toward the ice cave.

Qin Xuan asked in bewilderment, "What are you doing?"

"Slaying Ice Beasts!" Wu Bingqing turned back, made a face at Qin Xuan, stuck out her tongue, and snorted, "I don't want to sleep in the cauldron. I want to sleep with you, and I'm definitely going to sleep right next to you!"
