Chapter 807 - 365: Battle of Divine Souls

After a few breaths, Su Jinyu completely shared the information she knew with Chu Xiu.

This caused the latter to fall into deep contemplation.

According to Su Jinyu, the reason she appeared here was due to a transaction with the Outer Realm Demon!

On that day in Peng City, because she was previously injured by Chu Xiu, she did not participate in the final battle and stayed on the outskirts of Peng City.

Therefore, after the Black Death Prison was destroyed, she easily managed to escape.

However, the Outer Realm Demon did not let her off.

As Chu Xiu speculated, she encountered the Outer Realm Demon during the General Tier trial and signed a contract with them.

Her potential is immense, and although her talent is slightly below that of the Murder Ghost, she fortuitously fused with an Ancient God Relic. In terms of potential, she is not much inferior to the Murder Ghost, and the Outer Realm Demon would not let her go.

She was able to escape from Peng City but could not shake off the locking of the Outer Realm Demon.

In the end, the Outer Realm Demon used her as a bargaining chip and completed a transaction with the Immortal Emperor at this place.

The Immortal Emperor needed to release a Fierce Beast he had been nurturing for a long time to aid the Outer Realm Demon in battling inside the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace. If Chu Xiu was correct, it should be that nameless ghost capable of releasing tentacles that he had encountered before.

The strength of that creature far exceeded the ordinary Heroic Spirit. At that time, even the then-demigod Chu Xiu couldn’t deal with it. It turned out to be the Immortal Emperor’s pet.

The Murder Ghost probably relied on this beast to successfully kill the Zhang Family Heroic Spirit and take on their human form.

As for what the Immortal Emperor wanted from Su Jinyu...

"Is it because of your talent?" Chu Xiu quickly guessed the reason.

"That’s right," Su Jinyu nodded. "That Immortal Emperor wanted me to replicate a stone orb. That orb appears mundane, but when I tried to activate my talent, I felt a dizziness and swelling in my mind, accompanied by an inexplicable palpitation. That feeling was as if I was touching something even more terrifying than an Ancient God Relic!"

Su Jinyu’s words made Chu Xiu’s brow twitch slightly.

A stone orb!

With a flip of his palm, the stone bead appeared in his hand: "Is it this item?"

Su Jinyu glanced at it and showed a look of horrified shock: "It is this item! Senior, how do you also have it!"

Chu Xiu did not answer and merely said, "Continue speaking."

With lingering fear, Su Jinyu nodded and said, "Fortunately, that Immortal Emperor also seems to know that this item is not something of my tier that can be easily replicated. Therefore, he was not in a rush. After appointing me as a Saintess, he granted me considerable authority to cultivate slowly."

"Originally, when I was in Peng City, I already had the strength of a Level 9 General Tier. Although this place is not suitable for human cultivation, he provided a large number of Cause and Effect Points to assist my cultivation, so I quickly reached the bottleneck of Level 9."

Chu Xiu nodded; the Cause and Effect Points stored within the Immortal Stele, casually taken out, are astronomical numbers in the eyes of a General Tier like Su Jinyu.

Chu Xiu had long noticed that she was now at King Tier cultivation level and immediately focused his attention, quietly listening to what followed.

"However, it is not possible to conduct ascension trials here, so although my cultivation has reached perfection, I have been unable to break through."

"Every time I attempt a breakthrough, I feel a force stopping me... and that force feels quite similar to the sensation of that stone orb."

"And then?" Chu Xiu asked.

"Later, the Immortal Emperor gave me an elixir. After consuming it, I felt a power surge throughout my body, and then naturally broke through," Su Jinyu said.

These words made Chu Xiu’s entire body tense up.

That Immortal Emperor actually possessed means of resisting the Abyss!

This gave Chu Xiu a feeling of finding just what he needed.

He was searching for methods to resist the Abyss’s upgrade, and coincidentally encountered this in the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace.

It all felt a bit too coincidental to him.

After composing himself, Chu Xiu continued to inquire, "So what exactly is the strength of that Immortal Emperor? Also, can the Immortal Realm really connect to the Outer World?"

Chu Xiu asked the two questions he was most concerned about.

However, Su Jinyu’s answer left him somewhat disappointed: "I also don’t know the strength of that Immortal Emperor."

This was to be expected; if Su Jinyu had provided a definite answer, Chu Xiu would have been suspicious.

"As for the Immortal Realm...I don’t know."

"You don’t know?"

"Hmm." Su Jinyu nodded, "Actually, I’ve never been to the Immortal Realm, only that the Immortal Emperor seems to be trapped in the Immortal Realm due to some reason and cannot leave."

"Is that so?" Chu Xiu showed a thoughtful expression.

Many speculations emerged in his mind, such as whether that Immortal Emperor was the Ghost King who destroyed the world long ago. If so, why did he suddenly retreat to the bottom of this furnace and seal himself away? And why would he let the Abyss devour this world? Being devoured by the Abyss surely indicates there is no passageway here connecting to the Outer World!

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but frown.

Of course, he was someone who disliked idle speculation.

When faced with doubts, what is needed is exploration, inquiry!

He first interrogated the imprisoned Immortal Venerable consciousness.

But unfortunately, the other party was also an expert in the Path of Divine Soul. After failing, Chu Xiu decisively shattered their consciousness, then with a wave of his hand, the massive Inheritance Immortal Stele crashed heavily to the ground!

A huge flood of ghosts and Purgatory Demon Corpses surged out!

Before Su Jinyu had time to react, she felt countless auras that made her shiver!

She looked incredulously at the massive army before her, feeling that just the Heroic Spirit-level auras numbered in the dozens!
