168: Chapter 168 Abnormal Situation

"What on earth does he want to do?" Mu Cheng was stunned.

A dignified Half-Step Omni-God Realm expert—who would have thought he would be so indecisive.

"Let's go! It seems he's not interested at all." Mu Cheng suddenly spoke up, providing a divine assist.

Mo Yanyan had a sudden inspiration and said, "Since he's not interested, why don't you hurry over and give me a hand!"

"Alright, sister." Mu Cheng cooperated perfectly, directly supporting Mo Yanyan as they prepared to leave.

"Wait... are you sure this Demon Abyss will really be mine?" The Demon God finally compromised, immediately calling out to the three of them.

Mo Yanyan thought for a moment and finally gave him the cold shoulder. "This Demon Abyss will belong to you in the future. Let's go!"

"Decide for yourself! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Mu Cheng added, acting according to the situation.

The Demon God panicked completely. "Wait, we can add conditions. As long as the Demon Abyss belongs to me in the future, it's fine."

"That's what you said. I need four demon remnant souls, plus a drop of your essence blood." Mo Yanyan instantly stopped pretending and pushed Mu Cheng away.

"Dammit, fine!" The Demon God only then realized he had been set up.

But he wouldn't go back on his word. He could only grit his teeth and take out a drop of essence blood and four demon remnant souls.

"The Demon Abyss is yours from now on, but we'll borrow it for a bit first." Mo Yanyan threw out a Golden Rubiks Cube.

A Talisman Array quickly formed, and she kicked Mu Cheng into it.

"This... what exactly is going on?" Mu Cheng was instantly dumbfounded, having no idea what was happening.

"Interesting. This deity wants to see how this kid achieves a Demon Body." The Demon God recognized it at a glance.

"Kid, you have to hold on." Without hesitation, Mo Yanyan quickly threw the four demon remnant souls and the drop of essence blood into the array.

"What do they want to do? Whatever... I'll just wait." Mu Cheng couldn't care less anymore.

As the Talisman Array began to operate...

At the Dongfang City defense line.

"Let's begin!"

Peppa was the first to input energy into a Golden Rubiks Cube, followed by Xia Lingling and Lu Yunzi.

At Mount Everest.

"Old man, we can start." The Nine-Winged Angel Man threw out a Golden Rubiks Cube and likewise input energy.

The old man's energy followed immediately after.

At the bottom of the Demon Abyss.

"Such terrifying energy, what is going on?" Mu Cheng endured the pain.

Currently, even though he wasn't actively refining the energy, it still poured into him continuously.

"It's not enough. Sister Ninger, contact the Lin Family." Xia Lingling sent a telepathic message across the distance.

In the Super Ability Academy control room, the female soldier Lan Ninger immediately transmitted the message.

A moment later, at the bottom of the Demon Abyss.

"This... such terrifying energy. The Lin Family actually took action too." The Demon God was incredibly shocked as he watched.

Mo Yanyan looked on anxiously. "This kid... he should be able to make it, right?"

"Worrying is useless. All we can do now is believe in him," Shangguan Leilong said.

But in reality, he was more anxious than anyone.

Thirty years of effort was all for this moment. Anyone in his position would find it impossible to stay calm.

As time passed...

"Master, don't resist. Devour and absorb it directly." Suddenly, the voice of the Demon Butcher reached Mu Cheng's consciousness.

Are you kidding me? Such terrifying energy? Wouldn't absorbing it be the same as seeking death?

Mu Cheng was very conflicted, but in the end, he decided to devour and absorb it.

In just an instant, thousands or even tens of thousands of times more energy poured into his body continuously.

"What's going on? I'm actually perfectly fine?" Mu Cheng was completely bewildered; it was beyond belief.

It felt as if his body was like a black hole, capable of continuously devouring energy.

Not long after, the four demon remnant souls and the drop of essence blood finally began to merge into Mu Cheng's body.

"How is this possible? How can this be? This is absolutely impossible." The Demon God instantly began to doubt his existence.

Starting the fusion already proved that half the battle was won.

"This seems a bit abnormal." Mo Yanyan also noticed and was momentarily dazed.

For the previous owner of the Devouring Bloodline, fusion was not that easy and was an agonizing process.

But with Mu Cheng, it was going incredibly smoothly...

"It really is too smooth. Could he really succeed just like that?" Shangguan Leilong was stunned.

After another three minutes or so, the Talisman Array gradually began to fade before vanishing without a trace.

"Is this the power of the eighth rank?" Mu Cheng was very excited; he had finally broken through to the eighth rank.

Mo Yanyan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Kid... do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"

"No, I can clearly feel the Bloodline Power surging continuously," Mu Cheng said, shaking his head.

"Remember our agreement. Leave this place quickly." The Demon God couldn't figure anything out either, and then he suddenly vanished.

At the Dongfang City defense line.

"Lingling, did it succeed?" Lu Yunzi asked slowly.

Xia Lingling was dazed for a good while before speaking. "It seems to have succeeded, but also seems like it hasn't."

"Indeed, opening a black hole source requires more than just that little bit of energy." Peppa also found it very strange.

Suddenly remembering something, it added, "Could it be... a Black Hole Source Seed?"

"It really seems like only a Black Hole Source Seed could reasonably explain this," Xia Lingling said after some thought.

Although Lu Yunzi didn't understand the jargon, she could roughly guess Mu Cheng's current situation and asked.

"This Black Hole Source Seed... it needs a massive amount of resources to devour, right?"

"Mhm. It seems creating a god in one step won't work. This is also for the best... a truly powerful person needs to take it one step at a time," Xia Lingling replied with a nod.

Peppa: "I'll go back and check to confirm!"

"Get going!" Lu Yunzi waved her hand, and a Teleportation Talisman Array was released.

Xia Lingling instructed seriously, "Remember... you must find out exactly what the situation is."

"With Peppa on the job, you can rest easy." Peppa didn't hesitate and stepped into the Teleportation Talisman Array, soon vanishing without a trace.

At Mount Everest.

"Old man, could that kid have condensed a Black Hole Seed?" the Nine-Winged Angel asked.

The old man with his back turned said, "It's hard to say. Lingling's side should have someone going to confirm. We'll just wait."

At the Demon Abyss.

"Forget it, let's just go back and talk!" Mo Yanyan couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

She threw out a Black Rubik's Cube, and a Teleportation Talisman Array quickly formed.

"Let's go back! It's time to let those old fogies know that the Shangguan Family is back." Shangguan Leilong disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After Mu Cheng and Mo Yanyan entered the Teleportation Talisman Array, they returned to the defense line in an instant.

"Ahem~ Let Grandpa Peppa see what's going on with you." Peppa came over and released energy, beginning to carefully inspect Mu Cheng's condition.
