Chapter 549 402: Things from Beyond the Heavens
Aware that this journey aimed to evolve himself, Little Void appeared very excited.
Like an untamed wild horse, it roamed through the void.
Sensing the surroundings, it led Chen Xing on their way.
"Master, this way please, the space here is stable," it said.
"You should first assimilate this Void Beast Blood Bone," Chen Xing whispered.
He then took out a bizarre set of bones from his storage space.
This was the notorious Void Beast Blood Bone; its origins were a mystery. From its appearance alone, it seemed a freshly dissected skeleton, still vibrant as if the flesh had only recently been removed, and the bloodstains, remaining vivid despite countless eons, testified to its vitality.
Chen Xing already knew how to assimilate the Void Beast Blood Bone after having activated the inheritance.
Little Void slowly approached the blood bone, lay down against it, and soon a force of space surged around its body. Its figure grew blurry, transforming into a phantom as it slowly merged with the blood bone below, as if the two were inherently one.
Time stealthily slipped away, and the Void Beast Blood Bone gradually vanished from sight. Little Void, however, grew slightly larger, but what drew more attention was a thin, blood-red pattern that had emerged on its forehead, flickering with a strange glow.
Having completed the devouring process, Little Void seemed somewhat exhausted, its mental state slightly wilted.
Seeing this, Chen Xing did not hesitate to take out the Tears of Divine. With a gentle pinch, he crushed it into powder and sprinkled it evenly over the pristine Demon Summoning Vine.
The moment that blue touched the vine, a miracle happened—the originally pure white vine instantly turned pitch black, its surface's purity rapidly fading away, replaced by thick demonic mist that twisted around, emitting an ominous aura as if this were its true form.
The two antennae on Little Void's head suddenly stretched out, bending into loops and touched the Demon Summoning Vine, poised to strike.
In an instant, the vine seemed to awaken, winding its way into Little Void's body like a swift serpent and taking root deep in its heart; the other end stretched out toward the unknown reaches of the void.
Just like that, the Demon Summoning Vine probed into the depths of the void, the unknown area being inaccessible to knowledge.
Chen Xing didn't know where the other end reached, but the vast demonic aura followed the vine's lead, flooding into Little Void incessantly.
Little Void's body surface quickly became covered in a thick black fog.
Simultaneously, Chen Xing produced the Black Ancient Stone and the Phoenix Heart.
The Phoenix Heart looked like a tiny, infinitely reduced red phoenix, curled up as if still in an unhatched egg, surrounded by misty red dawn, spilling out light like a flowing stream.
At the top of the Phoenix Heart was a small indentation. Though the Black Ancient Stone was slightly larger than the slot, the moment Chen Xing placed it there, the stone melted like quicksilver, perfectly filling the space. Simultaneously, the radiating glow around the Phoenix Heart calmed, everything returning to tranquility.
Having dealt with the Phoenix Heart, Chen Xing then turned to Little Void's condition.
As the demonic energy continuously invaded, Little Void's body swelled with phantom black limbs, evolving from a "snake" into a "centipede."
But quickly, these phantom limbs exploded, boom, boom, boom!
Little Void's condition became increasingly unstable.
The Sìxiàng, a guard standing beside Chen Xing, watched Little Void's difficult state, "It should hold on for a bit longer."
"What is this demon?"
Sìxiàng scanned through the related inherited memories with disappointment shaking its head, "It doesn't know, demons like this seldom appear in the history of the Exotic Region, it's said to be an otherworldly entity."
"Otherworldly entity?"
"No one knows the origins of outer-world entities; their occurrences in the Exotic Region are sparse."
Sìxiàng noticed that Little Void's state seemed to be drawing in demonic energy and frowned gravely, "Some divinities suspect demons do not belong to our world, is it drawing in a demon? This thing is dangerous; it caused a significant disaster before."
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but ponder. If that was the case, there might be some connection between the Void Demon and Void Creatures; otherwise, there wouldn't be an associated evolution ceremony to begin with.
"Oh? What kind of disaster? It seems like the Exotic Region's records don't mention this."
"It's an ancient event, seemingly related to the demise of the Sun God, who supposedly fell due to outer-realm demons. Since then, the Exotic Region has been without a Sun God, but rather, the God of Light took on some responsibility. Some say the God of Light might have acquired some of the Sun God's Authority."
With no method to measure time in the void and no reference point, Chen Xing did not know how much time had passed, but Little Void's condition finally stabilized—almost between breaths and whispers.
Enveloped in an unfathomable layer of demonic energy, its life force flickered like a candle in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
"Give it to him," Chen Xing said as he handed over the processed Phoenix Heart to Sìxiàng, who instantly appeared before Little Void and fed it the heart.
As the Phoenix Heart was swallowed.
The persevering Little Void finally collapsed. This time, the energy pulled from the Demon Summoning Vine was not just black demonic mist but also a massive amount of dark purple aura.
Little Void let out a piercing, long howl to the sky. In the next second, its body burst into countless ashes, and amidst those ashes, a gem-like scarlet glimmer remained.
As the ashes dispersed, a golden flame rose from the depths of the void.
Around the flame, the vast space power and demonic mist mingled, blending as if they were one.
The scarlet in the ashes joined in, and eventually, a balance was struck among the four elements, nurturing a new body within the void.
Dark purple blade-like bat wings, vast and enormous, were imprinted with black marks and appeared as if an abyssal demon tormented from afar.
The elongated head, like a dragon or snake but with two massive inverted scarlet horns.
From tales of Eastern mythology, the body resembled an Eastern demon dragon, black scales clanking sonorously.
With a gentle roll, the surrounding void instantly flipped upside down, causing spatial chaos.
Once more, a movement caused vast portions of the void to crack, diffusing clouds of murky void tempests wildly.
Sìxiàng narrowed its eyes, feeling a hint of threat emanating from the evolved Little Void—
Though faint, considering that Little Void had just achieved Transcendence and used the momentum to break through to the First Layer of Transcendence, having reached the Ninth Step of Ascension, Sìxiàng had never felt threatened, even by lower ranking Ascended beings.
