Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 663: The Birth of the Qitian Heart Demon【3rd Update】

With a gesture from Su Yie's right hand, the crystal flew into his palm.

He swept it with his Divine Sense and discovered that it contained an extremely powerful energy.

He had never seen this type of energy before, but when his Divine Sense touched it, he felt an uncontrollable urge to make it his own.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yie absorbed the crystal's energy into his body.

Boom!

His mana surged violently, his blood boiling within him.

The burst of his aura formed gusts of wind around him, blowing his hair into the air.

"What is this?"

In Su Yie's mind, Bai Yuan exclaimed in shock, "Could it be something like a Demon Core?"

Su Yie took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's a different kind of energy, significantly affecting cultivation."

"No wonder people say that participating in the Saint Talent Chessboard is a supreme opportunity, so it is!"

Su Yie was exhilarated. Although the crystal did not lead to a breakthrough in his cultivation, it was equivalent to the efforts of a thousand years.

With that thought, he began to move quickly, seeking other lizard demons to collect more crystals like this.

The century-long Saint Talent Chessboard, he must make good use of it!

This would be a great opportunity for his own strength to soar!

He flew along the bottom of the gorge, but when he had traversed the entire gorge, he found no second lizard demon.

He was secretly disappointed, but it was also normal; if such demons were found everywhere, how would that work?

Thus, Su Yie's target shifted to the lizard demons, and he stopped his cultivation to keep moving.

...

Three days later.

Su Yie finally found a second lizard demon near a lakeside forest, much larger than the one he encountered in the gorge.

Without a word, he burnt it to ashes and gained an even larger crystal.

After absorbing the crystal's energy, his cultivation surged once again.

By his estimate, after absorbing one more crystal, his cultivation could break through to the Later Stage of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm!

He was very satisfied with this speed.

Feng Long and Bai Yuan could not stop marveling.

Su Yie did not delay and continued to search for lizard demons.

He believed he was certainly not the first to discover this.

Meanwhile, Hongmeng Chaos had already caused a stir, and countless beings were shocked by these mysterious crystals.

"What exactly is that?"

"I'm so envious! How great would it be if I could participate in the Saint Talent Chessboard?"

"Can you defeat such a monster?"

"At this rate, all the Heavenly Prides who survive until the end will undergo a complete transformation!"

"No wonder the Saint Prodigy Chessboard can create gods!"

Creatures of all kinds were discussing this, going crazy over the mysterious crystals.

Two days later.

Su Yie obtained another mysterious crystal, and his cultivation successfully broke through to the later stages of the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm.

Right after his breakthrough, he encountered a familiar person.

One of the Ancient Wilderness Seven Killers, Sun Qitian.

At this moment, Sun Qitian was seriously injured, healing in the bushes; the lizard monster had frightened him terribly. Thankfully, Su Yie appeared just in time.

Su Yie came over to him, directly healing his wounds, and asked, "How did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Sun Qitian looked embarrassed and replied, "With my level of cultivation, I'm just the bottom of the barrel in the Saint Prodigy Chessboard. There's nothing I can do about it."

With the help of Tai Su Celestial Lord, he had already achieved sainthood, but unfortunately, he was far inferior to the Heavenly Prides of the Saint Prodigy Chessboard.

"The monsters we encountered just now had crystals inside them that could enhance cultivation. If you want to become stronger, collect more of them," Su Yie reminded. Sun Qitian's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he did not show any sign of surprise.

He seemed to have no interest in things that could enhance cultivation.

Suddenly, Su Yie noticed a malevolent aura between Sun Qitian's brows, making his face look somewhat fierce and vicious.

Before, he had thought it was due to the pain of his injuries, but now, it seemed there might be another reason.

"Are you alright?" Su Yie asked. Sun Qitian was not only a member of the Emperor Su's Sect but once the strongest in the sect. Back in the Eastern Lands, he had struck with awe using his staff against the Sword Sect. He had been very kind to Su Yie, so Su Yie did not want to stand by and do nothing.

Sun Qitian hesitated, but finally let out a sigh and said, "I feel as though I've developed a Heart Demon."

A Heart Demon?

Su Yie frowned and asked, "Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"

Clenching his fist, Sun Qitian took a deep breath and said, "Now, whenever I see anything, I want to tear it to pieces. Sometimes, I even can't control my emotions. Earlier, it was because I lost my sanity that I got seriously injured. I thought I was going to die, but when I regained consciousness, I found myself alive and the enemy gone."

Su Yie listened, puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "When did you start feeling this way?"

"Ever since I became one of the Ancient Wilderness Seven Killers," Sun Qitian sighed. He once thought it was an opportunity, but it turned out to be an abyss.

Regret filled his heart. If he had known, he would have followed Su Yie's lead and not become one of the Ancient Wilderness Seven Killers.

"Focus on healing for now. Maybe once your realm breaks through, this feeling will dissipate," Su Yie suggested comfortingly. He had no experience with Heart Demons, after all, he had never deviated into demonic cultivation.

"By the way, you can talk to the Victorious Fighting Buddha; doesn't he regard you as his disciple?" Su Yie continued, but upon hearing the name Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Qitian frowned again.

"Although the Buddha has been good to me, to be honest… I feel a strong aversion to him. It's an instinctive aversion, probably because I don't really have a good impression of Buddha in general," Sun Qitian said hesitantly.

The subtext was, he didn't want to seek out Victorious Fighting Buddha for help.

Su Yie had a thoughtful look upon hearing this and his gaze towards Sun Qitian grew increasingly peculiar.

Without offering further comfort, Su Yie saw that Sun Qitian had fallen into silence.

One day later, with Su Yie's help, Sun Qitian's injuries had healed.

To prevent any accidents, Su Yie decided to bring him along.

In the presence of Su Yie, Sun Qitian didn't act tough. In the entire Emperor Su's Sect, aside from the Piercing Arm Monkey, Su Yie was the one he had the best relationship with.

With Sun Qitian in tow, Su Yie's pace slowed, but three days later, he found two more lizard monsters.

After killing them, he obtained two crystals and wanted to hand them to Sun Qitian, but Sun Qitian refused.

Since developing a Heart Demon, Sun Qitian always felt as if a great disaster was about to befall him. The higher his cultivation, the more prone he was to losing control, so he graciously declined Su Yie's kindness.

Su Yie didn't force him; after consuming the two crystals, his cultivation rose once again.
