113: Sacrifice, Concubine Zi regrets!

Without Purple Consort's obstruction, Su Ye had nothing to worry about and headed straight for the thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine.

On the pitch-black, smooth metal stone, the Thunderclap Hell Vine was coiled like a snake.

Step—

As soon as Su Ye's front foot landed, the quiet scene before him suddenly changed.

Sensing the arrival of danger, the stone pile's hundred-meter radius was immediately enveloped by a net of lightning. Bolts of lightning, as thick as fingers, raged within it, striking the stones and emitting crackling explosions.

Boom!

A bolt from the blue. The originally clear, cloudless sky immediately gathered dark clouds.

Thunderbolts leaped within the dark clouds, like blue dragons flashing and soaring.

Crackle—

Before one could say it, it was already there. A bolt of lightning was seen descending from the sky.

A white arc over a thousand meters long flashed and vanished, as if the heavens were enraged.

Appearing suddenly and vanishing just as suddenly, only the earth-shattering roar remained, echoing between heaven and earth.

Terror!

Destruction!

The lightning descended too quickly. Su Ye immediately summoned his Golden Phoenix Martial Soul.

The Yin-Yang Limitless Skill was also activated at this moment, forming a defensive shield.

One white, one red, one black. Three energy barriers firmly enveloped Su Ye in the center.

The outermost layer was Extreme Ice, which had the greatest resistance to lightning. Following that was Extreme Fire, and the innermost was Extreme Yin.

Crack!

Under the power of the lightning, the outermost Extreme Ice couldn't even withstand it for two seconds before shattering like glass.

The terrifying power of lightning mercilessly struck the Extreme Fire shield.

"As expected of a thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine, this power is indeed fierce!"

Bathed in the lightning at close range, Su Ye's eyes shone brightly. At this moment, he clearly perceived the power of the Thunderclap Hell Vine.

Explosive, like fire!

Tearing, like metal!

Impacting, like earth!

The integration of the characteristics of three basic attributes elevated the power of the lightning force to a level surpassing extreme attributes.

One must know that after the inner core condensed, Su Ye's Yin-Yang Limitless Skill's passive shield could automatically withstand Soul Emperor level destructive power.

But before the thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine, it shattered after only summoning one bolt of lightning. The destructive power of this lightning was at least at the Soul Sage level.

What a pity.

Su Ye was using three layers at this moment.

The Thunderclap Hell Vine's destructive power was explosive, but it was only at the thousand-year level after all.

Due to the absolute difference in strength, after breaking through the Extreme Fire shield, that lightning fell into a swamp and was swallowed by Extreme Yin energy.

Boom!

Boom!

Seeing Su Ye approaching leisurely, the thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine continuously drew down heavenly lightning to attack.

It did have its own Soul Skills, and their power was quite terrifying.

But the Thunderclap Hell Vine's strongest attack was always drawing down lightning to attack the enemy.

This was a move that resulted in mutual destruction!

While the lightning struck, it was actually constantly tempering itself. The latter also needed time to digest this lightning power.

Once it exceeded its tolerance range, the Thunderclap Hell Vine would also perish under the lightning.

But facing a strong enemy's attack, unless forced into a corner, how could it use such a move that harms the enemy by a thousand and damages itself by eight hundred?

"Becoming my Soul Ring, that is the fortune of your life!"

"You... do not know how to cherish it!"

Using his own method against him, Su Ye slowly reached forward. A dark purple lightning bolt condensed in his palm, aimed at the thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine.

This lightning was very strange. Lacking the explosive destruction of pure lightning, it appeared gloomy and dim, like lightning born from the abyss of Darkness.

All things in the world have Yin and Yang sides. The Five Elements are also divided into Yin and Yang: Yin Metal, Yin Wood, Yin Water, Yin Fire, Yin Earth.

And as for lightning, it also has Yin and Yang.

Yang Lightning is righteous, grand, destructive.

Yin Lightning is gloomy, dim, dissipating.

Just as Su Ye was preparing to attack, suddenly, the Thunderclap Hell Vine's lightning withdrew, and the lightning field surrounding it also suddenly dissipated at this moment.

The wind stopped, the air was still.

The Thunderclap Hell Vine coiled on the stone disappeared. It didn't flee into the distance but came to one side.

It turned out that Purple Consort had already arrived here. The Thunderclap Hell Vine was like a pet finding its owner, eagerly wrapping around her waist, looking terrified as it sought protection.

"Did I scare you?"

Purple Consort smiled slightly, her jade fingers gently prodding the Thunderclap Hell Vine's body.

Before Purple Consort, the Thunderclap Hell Vine's originally indestructible body was now as weak as a beaded curtain. Coupled with Purple Consort's movements, it seemed their relationship was unusual.

Seeing Purple Consort's familiar demeanor, Su Ye, who had already given her an ultimatum, couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

"I gave you face because I took your benefits for free."

"You'd better not tell me that you're still protecting it now!"

Swoosh!

A cold aura stirred up a chilling wind in the forest.

Su Ye's pair of colored pupils were surrounded by black and white chaotic energy streams. His entire body exuded a merciless, indifferent, icy aura, like a death god, revealing killing intent.

"You..." Purple Consort's face showed astonishment. Su Ye's appearance before her was clearly not normal.

Especially his icy eyes, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. That ruthless, bloodthirsty killing that abandoned humanity made even Purple Consort, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, feel extremely terrified.

At this moment, she felt that she wasn't facing an enemy preparing to kill her.

But was... facing death itself!

Because death is an eternal state, the end of life, and will not change in the slightest due to external factors.

"How could this guy suddenly become like this?"

Purple Consort's heart was filled with dread, but she couldn't afford to think any further at the moment.

Because Su Ye's state was too bad. He seemed ready to act at any moment, mercilessly killing all life before him.

She wouldn't be spared either!

This feeling of danger was absolutely not wrong!

Purple Consort quickly transmitted information to the thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine, explaining her situation and telling it to offer itself as a sacrifice to Su Ye, so as not to bring trouble upon itself.

The thousand-year Thunderclap Hell Vine had long since developed sentience, but it couldn't transform into human form or speak.

After receiving Purple Consort's meaning, it hesitated slightly, but still returned to Su Ye's side.

Seeing it coil around Su Ye like a snake, lightning immediately shot out in all directions. Within the thunder vortex, a wondrous soul field spread out between the person and the vine.

Under the influence of the lightning, the chaotic color in Su Ye's pupils slowly faded. The scene before him made him understand what was happening, and he quickly summoned his Martial Soul.

The Golden Phoenix stood on the ground like a king, extraordinarily divine. Three Soul Rings at its feet shot out deep black light. The energy contained within was completely released at this moment without any concealment.

"It's actually a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring?"

Purple Consort's heart trembled. She immediately realized that Su Ye had hidden the color of his Soul Rings and restrained the overflowing energy from them.

Moreover, the age of the three Soul Rings seemed to be no weaker than her own.

Instantly, a wave of regret spread through her heart.

If she had known earlier that Su Ye's first three Soul Rings were all ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, she shouldn't have let Xiao Ling sacrifice herself.

"Three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings, plus my own ten-thousand-year Soul Ring..."

"Maybe... it's really possible!"

God Creation—!!

Purple Consort was so regretful that she ground her back teeth. But the sacrifice had already begun, and it was impossible to stop it now.
