229: Chapter Cross-Border Magic Seal

The power of the triple Lightning Tribulations stacked together was unexpectedly only fifty percent of a normal Mahayana Lightning Tribulation.

"Is there something wrong with the Heavenly Dao?"

Previously, the weakening of the Lightning Tribulation's power within the Immortal Burial Battlefield had made Su Mo suspect if something was wrong with the Heavenly Dao; now, it seemed that was indeed the reason.

Unfortunately, he could not contact the Heavenly Dao directly, otherwise he could have asked what exactly was going on.

Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

Don't the Heart Demons have a close connection with the Heavenly Dao? Perhaps they know something.

While he was pondering, the Lightning Tribulation in the sky began to fall.

The purple-white lightning struck Su Mo, causing only a negligible minor injury that healed in an instant.

Having easily endured this weak Lightning Tribulation, Su Mo's aura completely stabilized at the Mahayana Stage.

Beside the Law Dao Fruit of the Light Element, another Dao Fruit, the Law Dao Fruit of great desire heavenly, was nurtured into form.

As the Law Dao Fruit of great desire heavenly took shape, Su Mo's aura underwent a qualitative transformation.

Standing in the Void Realm, he seemed to become the center of desire for the entire Cultivation World, his body constantly absorbing the aura of desire coming from all directions.

The desire for life, the desire for death, the desire for bloodlust... all living beings whose desires were absorbed stopped their movements, their eyes becoming hollow, like breathing stones.

Even the revival processes of the Great Nirvana Buddha and the Blood Sea Demon Venerable became extremely slow.

After all, the devout faith of believers is also a form of desire.

As the perpetrator, Su Mo entered a marvelous state, as if merging with the ocean of desire of the entire Cultivation World.

He could easily twist everyone's desires, turning a Blood Beast with only a desire for slaughter into a well-behaved kitten... however, there were still two massive cores of desire he could not sway.

Su Mo looked up toward the distance and murmured to himself:

"Is it the Great Nirvana Buddha and the Blood Sea Demon Venerable?"

Their desires were not simple emotions but had completely merged with their Dao Laws and Foundations of existence.

With Su Mo's current cultivation, he still had no way to interfere with the desires of such beings.

In a few breaths, he exited that state, and the massive amount of desire returned to everyone's bodies.

Everyone came to their senses and looked at their bodies in shock, their eyes filled with lingering fear and confusion.

The feeling just now, where everything was empty and even the meaning of one's own existence seemed to vanish, was more terrifying than death.

Just then, the tribulation clouds in the sky dispersed.

Next was the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Su Mo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had appeared in a familiar environment. Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven was standing before him, looking at him with a beaming smile.

"Brother, if it weren't for this Lightning Tribulation, were you planning to never come see me?"

For a moment, Su Mo was somewhat dazed.

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's appearance was not like before—pitch black all over with billowing Devilish Qi.

Now, she had transformed into the appearance of a girl next door, wearing an elegant dress with her hair tied up by a warm jade hairpin, her eyes curved in a smile.

Su Mo composed himself and smiled apologetically:

"I've been a bit busy lately. I'll definitely come to visit you often in the future..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven.

"It's about those two Ancient Immortals, isn't it?"

"How did you know?"

Su Mo exclaimed, but then he thought that Heart Demons appear when Cultivators undergo tribulations and can see their memories, so it wasn't strange for her to know.

"Indeed. Those two Ancient Immortals are preparing to revive. I wonder if you Heart Demons have sensed anything?"

Heart Demons live in the Heavenly Demon Realm and have a sort of employment relationship with the Heavenly Dao of the Cultivation World. With such close ties, they must know something.

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's smile faded:

"During this time, the Heavenly Dao of your Cangxu Realm has indeed weakened quite a bit, to the point that the Heart Demons' tasks have decreased by nearly half."

"Cangxu Realm? Do you Heart Demons connect to more than just one Cultivation World?"

Hearing this, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven blinked:

"Naturally more than one. There are three Cultivation Worlds around the Heavenly Demon Realm, as well as the Xuanhuang Realm and the Netherworld Realm. However, your Cangxu Realm has had the most activity lately, and its Heavenly Dao is continuously declining."

Her tone gradually became serious:

"A weakening Heavenly Dao is fatal for the world itself. If it continues to weaken, the Cangxu Realm might disintegrate or be refined by other entities."

"Those two Ancient Immortals in your Cangxu Realm are likely trying to possess the Heavenly Dao and refine the Cangxu Realm into their own Small World."

Hearing this, Su Mo's brow furrowed as he realized the severity of the problem.

"Then, can you let me meet the Heavenly Dao?"

"You can't. The Heavenly Dao is just a mass of will; it cannot communicate."

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven changed the subject:

"But... I can save your life."

Su Mo subconsciously asked:

"How?"

Before he could react, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven suddenly leaned in close to Su Mo, her fresh and full red lips pressing against the space between his brows.

"Buzz—!"

Su Mo felt his mind go blank as a fresh and warm fragrance continuously flooded his nose.

A thought emerged in his mind:

"Brother, why do you smell so good?!"

As Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's lips landed on the center of Su Mo's forehead, a complex black mark emerged and quickly faded away.

Although Su Mo didn't know what this mark was for, he felt that Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven would not harm him.

A moment later, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven stepped back with a faint smile on her face, a flash of craftiness disappearing in the depths of her eyes.

"Alright! That'll do it!"

Su Mo touched the center of his forehead, where a hint of warm sensation and a light fragrance still lingered.

He didn't feel any discomfort or influx of power, but the moment the black mark sank in, he indeed felt an indescribable connection between himself and Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven.

"What is this?"

"This is the Cross-Realm Demon Seal. With this, you can descend your Divine Soul into the Heavenly Demon Realm. Then, I'll reshape a Demon Body for you, and you'll be able to live in the Heavenly Demon Realm."

Hearing this, Su Mo's heart jolted.

This was undoubtedly an escape route!

Even if the Cangxu Realm were destroyed, he could flee to the Heavenly Demon Realm, and then the other Cultivators relying on the Zerg Incarnations could also survive.

"Brother, I'll remember this favor."

Su Mo said solemnly.

He had never heard of anything in the Cangxu Realm that could cross realms; it must be extremely precious.

For Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven to give him such a thing, she must have paid a great price.

"Hey—we're brothers! You're being too formal! When you come to the Heavenly Demon Realm, we'll have a good chat..."

Her voice grew fainter, and Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's figure gradually became illusory.

In the blink of an eye, Su Mo's consciousness returned to his body.

He reached out and unconsciously touched his forehead:

"The Cross-Realm Demon Seal... perhaps it won't be needed at all..."
