193: Chapter 193 is indeed more than ten times stronger.

Little Demon Fox Emperor's body suddenly... one could clearly see three streams of Bloodline Power begin to flow, quickly forming into crimson energy that erupted from her body.

The released crimson energy seemed alive, devouring those terrifying energy entities. Soon, the crimson energy dyed the entire world red.

"How is this possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Mo Xiaopang's body suddenly shrank, becoming smaller and smaller until he was only about half a meter tall.

Little Demon Fox Emperor extended her hand. A crimson energy arm lifted Mo Xiaopang up.

"Tell me the truth, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

"Go ahead! I want to see just how you'll make me 'wish I were dead'."

As soon as the voice fell, crimson energy surged into his body. Little Demon Fox Emperor asked again.

"Is that so? Let's see how long your stubborn mouth can hold out."

"This is too cruel!" Mu Cheng watched as the crimson energy flowed in and out of Mo Xiaopang. Having experienced it himself, he naturally knew the torment Mo Xiaopang was enduring.

Little Demon: "No choice. His arrival was indeed quite strange. As a core member of the Super Ability Academy, it's natural to want answers."

"I'll talk, I'll talk! Stop!" Mo Xiaopang finally couldn't endure the torture any longer.

Little Demon Fox Emperor waved her hand, setting Mo Xiaopang down. "Speak quickly!!! So I can give you a quick end."

As soon as her voice fell, a black energy sphere suddenly flew from nowhere, striking Mo Xiaopang and instantly reducing him to ashes.

"Damn it! Who exactly is pulling the strings behind the scenes?" Little Demon Fox Emperor roared in fury.

Little Demon couldn't be sure, stammering, "This energy aura... it's from the demon race. To have such strength... I'm afraid only the Demon King could possess it."

"What kind of existence is this Demon King? To have such terrifying power..." Mu Cheng was stunned for a long moment before finally reacting and speaking.

Little Demon Fox Emperor calmed down. The more she thought, the more something felt off.

"It can't be him. To have such strength... only the power of a God of Destruction could achieve this."

"I'm not entirely sure either, but I can say with absolute certainty that the energy was from the demon race." Little Demon knew this all too well.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "It seems all the secrets can only be found at the bottom of the Endless Abyss."

"It seems what happened on the third layer of the Battlefield is definitely connected to the bottom of the Endless Abyss." Little Demon also thought so.

"The bottom of the Endless Abyss? What answers could be there?" Mu Cheng knew perfectly well in his heart, but he didn't say much more.

He coughed and said, "For now, let's head to Heisha Island first!"

"What about the owner of that mother-and-child energy source? Should we devour and refine it?" Little Demon spoke up again.

Mu Cheng looked ahead and thought for a moment, finally making a decision. "Alright! It's not a bad thing anyway."

Saying was doing. Mu Cheng released Black Vine, directly surrounding the energy pillar. In no time, a massive amount of energy integrated into his body.

"Truly worthy of the Devouring Bloodline... Such terrifying energy, yet it has no effect on him at all." Little Demon Fox Emperor said in shock.

As time passed, Mu Cheng devoured and refined all the energy. However, his Bloodline Power remained at the eighth rank.

"This... still eighth-rank strength? What's going on?" Little Demon Fox Emperor expressed her bewilderment.

Logically, this amount of energy should be enough to raise a one-star Realm King God to six stars.

Yet for Mu Cheng, there was no increase at all.

"I'm not very clear either. By the way... speaking of which, will the third layer have many Nine-Star World King Gods?" Mu Cheng suddenly remembered and asked.

He truly didn't want to go to the third layer of the Battlefield. Moreover, the purpose of coming to the Battlefield was simply to increase his strength.

If he could avoid going, he definitely wouldn't.

"Pretty much. Though I'm not entirely sure about that either." Little Demon Fox Emperor expressed helplessness.

She herself had never been to the third layer and didn't know much about the situation there, but the existence of danger was certain.

Little Demon suddenly seemed like a different person, saying, "The minimum strength there is the peak of Nine-Star World King God. We definitely won't be at a disadvantage then."

"Speaking of which... just who are you? What is your purpose?" Mu Cheng asked clearly.

Now, Little Demon was acting one way, then another... If he didn't ask clearly, it was hard to say what unexpected events might occur in the future.

Little Demon: "Master, don't worry. This consciousness has already merged with Little Demon. There's no ulterior purpose."

"Alright then. Next, let's head to Heisha Island." Mu Cheng had nothing more to say.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Mhm, mhm. Then let's set off!"

The three of them continued their journey, soon crossing the Ice-Fire Coexistence Desert and arriving at the westernmost part of the island.

"Ahead is Heisha Island. It seems the legends are true." Little Demon Fox Emperor said, looking ahead.

Looking ahead, Heisha Island didn't appear very large, only about thirty kilometers across.

A vast expanse of pitch black, accompanied by flashing lightning...

"What legend?" Mu Cheng asked curiously.

Little Demon: "Master, it's the legend of breaking through to become a God of Destruction. It's said it can only be achieved on the third layer of the Battlefield."

"Seems like... that doesn't have much to do with me, right?" Mu Cheng scratched his head and said.

But right now, there was truly no way back. Even if he had to grit his teeth, he had to go forward.

"Hard to say. The appearance of the devouring seed has made the Devouring Bloodline even more mysterious. Perhaps you can break the Shackles and also elevate your bloodline." Little Demon suddenly spoke again.

These words were so profound, clearly from the consciousness of the source of all things.

"Alright, alright. Regardless... since it's the dean's arrangement, we'll just go and get it over with." Little Demon Fox Emperor grew quite impatient.

Little Demon: "That's true. That old thing is indeed not simple. Having you go to the third layer is probably for another reason."

"Forget it... let's just go first!" Mu Cheng also couldn't be bothered with more talk. He released Purple Cloud Wings and shot into the sky.

Little Demon and Little Demon Fox Emperor followed closely. The distance to Heisha Island wasn't far to begin with. In less than ten minutes,

the three had successfully landed on Heisha Island.

Everything before their eyes was pitch black. The trees were black, the stones were black... and it was eerily quiet.

"It's the Eastern Vessel. That old man really came for this." Little Demon suddenly said in shock.

Mu Cheng looked utterly confused. "What Eastern Vessel?"

"To put it simply, it's a super divine artifact... No, wait. The dean promised me something. It should just be a side benefit." Little Demon Fox Emperor thought for a moment and said.

Little Demon: "Regardless, this Eastern Vessel is definitely prepared for this kid. Let's secure it first."

"Mhm, mhm. Then what are we waiting for?" Knowing the importance, Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't waste words and took the lead, clearing the path.

Although Mu Cheng was very puzzled, hearing it was a super divine artifact... he naturally couldn't be bothered with too much and followed closely behind.

Heisha Island itself wasn't very large. Before long, the three arrived at the central area. What lay before them...

was a passage leading downwards.

"This is the legendary Heisha Path. Be careful from now on!" Little Demon said before returning to the consciousness space.

Little Demon Fox Emperor stared blankly for a long moment. "It really is the Heisha Path... It seems things are indeed not that simple."

"Damn it!!! What is all this? Can you explain clearly?" Mu Cheng instantly grew anxious and asked.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "It's similar to playing games. This Heisha Path has nine levels. You can only obtain the Eastern Vessel after clearing all of them."

"A level-clearing game? It seems the secrets behind this Battlefield are somehow connected to the descent of the Blue-White Star and the Global Survival." Mu Cheng linked the two together.

"Stop dawdling. Hurry up and follow." Little Demon Fox Emperor pulled out a black silk ribbon, taking the lead and shouting as she cleared the path.

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate either. A black gold spear suddenly appeared in his hand. He was extremely cautious and followed closely behind.

Before long, they reached the very end. And this end... was none other than a black-gold Trader.

"A Trader, and the highest tier at that." Little Demon Fox Emperor was instantly astonished.

So the legendary Heisha Path with nine levels wasn't on Heisha Island itself, but came from this Trader before them.

"Sis, do you know this Trader?" Mu Cheng asked, somewhat shocked.

Little Demon Fox Emperor nodded. "Of course. The Traders in the Battlefield are of a higher tier than those that appear on your Blue-White Star."

"Under normal circumstances, they basically offer super divine artifacts or black hole sources that are billions of years old."

"It seems the Battlefield truly has a great connection to the Global Survival." Mu Cheng, at this moment, couldn't figure out any pattern either.

He could only stop for now. "Then what are we waiting for... let's start the challenge!"

"This highest-tier Trader... is somewhat different from yours. Once you start a challenge, if you can't complete it, you can never come out." Little Demon Fox Emperor explained.

Mu Cheng: "Wait, you mean... those who participated in the challenge are still trapped inside?"

"Mhm, mhm. As long as this Trader hasn't disappeared, those who challenged are indeed trapped inside." Little Demon Fox Emperor nodded in reply.

Mu Cheng: "Never mind that. Didn't you say it was arranged by the dean? Then what's there to fear? Let's just do it."

"You're right. Then let's enter the challenge!" Little Demon Fox Emperor tapped the Trader's head and quickly operated the interface.

Instantly, the two were teleported to a wasteland.

"So-called nine levels... are actually just nine zones... But how do we clear them?" Little Demon Fox Emperor looked at the rules and said.

Mu Cheng also studied it. "Hard to say... these nine levels don't seem to have any hints either."

The information given was just a map: how to complete the challenge, how many people are currently trapped, etc... No hints at all.

"Master, this is simple. Find the nine energy sources." Little Demon suddenly appeared and said.

Mu Cheng: "What's your situation now?"

"It seems she has merged with the source of all things." Little Demon Fox Emperor spoke.

Little Demon: "Mhm, mhm. From now on, Little Demon won't need to be strange and weird."

"That's good too. Tell me, what's the deal with these nine energy sources?" Mu Cheng asked.

Little Demon: "That's how it's recorded in the memory inheritance. As for what exactly the energy sources are, we can only find out by going to the highest point."

"Then what are we waiting for? The highest point should be right ahead, right?" Little Demon Fox Emperor pointed forward and said.

Mu Cheng looked. Before them was actually an iron tower, and this tower was huge, enormous, piercing the sky so high its top couldn't be seen.

"Then let's go!" Mu Cheng intended to release Purple Cloud Wings, but then discovered his Bloodline Power was restricted.

"This place is strange. Not only can Bloodline Power not be used... it seems qianji can't either."

"You only noticed now?" Little Demon Fox Emperor was speechless.

Little Demon: "Master, this place seems to be an independent space... But logically, the Devouring Bloodline should still be usable."

"Why bother with all that? We'll deal with it when the time comes!" Mu Cheng couldn't be bothered with these concerns either. He casually picked up an iron rod from the ground.

He walked cautiously at the very front.

Before long, the three arrived at the base of the iron tower. The sight before them once again shocked Mu Cheng.

"Good grief, I thought it was an iron tower. I really want to know... what exactly is going on here?"

Up close, they couldn't see an iron tower at all, but rather a path leading upwards.

The path was full of scattered rocks, dense and numerous, floating at a height of about two meters.

"Master, don't keep being so surprised. We'll know the answer once we reach the top." Little Demon said very calmly.

This was something to be expected. Only Mu Cheng, a normal human, would try to explain it with science.

That's why he was so shocked.

"Be careful. It seems to be metallic Black Giant Rats." Little Demon Fox Emperor suddenly grew serious.

Little Demon: "They really are metallic Black Giant Rats."

"They're just Black Giant Rats, right? Whether they're metal or whatever, we'll just finish them off." Mu Cheng didn't care about the details.

It wasn't like he hadn't encountered them before. In the end, they were dealt with easily.

"Indeed, not a big problem. But still be careful." Little Demon Fox Emperor wasn't the least bit careless.

Little Demon also agreed. "Mhm, mhm. Sister is right... it's better to be careful."

Sure enough, before long, the three were surrounded by Black Giant Rats.

"Aren't they a bit too big? And the numbers... seem a bit excessive." Mu Cheng stared dumbfounded and trembling at the scene before him.

They were indeed Black Giant Rats, but their size was almost comparable to a three-hundred-pound pig. Calling them robots wouldn't be wrong.

"About a hundred or so. What, are you scared now?" Little Demon Fox Emperor teased for a moment.

"Then just stay put here obediently. Let big sister stretch her muscles a bit."

After speaking, Little Demon Fox Emperor instantly vanished. Suddenly, the surrounding large Black Giant Rats began to fall one after another at a visible speed.

"Such fast speed." Mu Cheng was shocked once again.

He never expected Little Demon Fox Emperor's physical strength... to have reached such a terrifying level.

"Indeed, sister's brute force... is more than ten times stronger than master's." Little Demon spoke.

Mu Cheng: "Are you kidding me? More than ten times stronger... That's really hard to accept."

Anyone would find it hard to accept.

"Sister, throw one over for master to practice on." Little Demon didn't bother explaining further. Having Mu Cheng experience it firsthand

would be faster.

Soon after, Little Demon Fox Emperor... really did throw a Black Giant Rat over.

By the time Mu Cheng reacted, Little Demon was already nowhere to be seen.

The Black Giant Rat spotted Mu Cheng and immediately pounced fiercely.

"So fast! Can't dodge at all." Mu Cheng had no choice but to brace himself and take it.

Although he wasn't knocked down by the pounce, Mu Cheng was still sent flying, smashing through five or six scattered rocks.

"It really is more than ten times stronger." Mu Cheng stood up. Although he was fine, he finally believed what Little Demon had said.
