"Roar!" The left wolf head spewed toxic flames, while the right wolf head unleashed ice spikes. Yun Che dodged gracefully using the Flowing Wind Steps, but the Skeleton beneath his feet was shattered into dust by the collision of ice and fire.
In that moment, the demonic patterns surged into his left eye, distorting the world before him. He saw a black crystal core pulsating at the heart of the demon wolf and heard a plea emanating from it: "Kill me... set me free..."
Yun Che let out a furious roar and plunged his hand into the demon wolf's chest. The black crystal felt scalding hot in his grasp, and the demon wolf howled as it dissolved into black smoke. He crushed the crystal core, and demonic energy surged into Xing Wen, momentarily suppressing the chaos of the Demon Seed!
"So that's how it is..." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "The crystal core of a Moyuan creature... can balance Xing Wen and the demonic patterns."
From deep within the mist came the sound of chains dragging on the ground, and a hunched figure approached with a staff: "Kid... you carry the stench of the Starfall Clan."
The old man was draped in tattered gray robes, his face covered by a bronze Gui Mian, and in his hand was a Bone Staff entwined with crimson vines. He flicked his fingers to shoot out a silver needle; Yun Che raised his sword to block it, but the needle curved and pierced into Xing Wen!
"Xing Wen tainted by demons... interesting!" The old man's voice was hoarse like grinding metal. "I am Gui Jiu, specialized in treating half-demon bodies like yours."
Yun Che pointed his sword at Gui Jiu's throat: "If you can't cure me... then die."
Gui Jiu laughed heartily, planting his Bone Staff on the ground: "Simple! Obtain the Heart-Eating Lotus from the Nine Nether Demon Lord and the Cleansing Soul Grass from the Heavenly Emperor... then use your heart's blood as a guide to refine the Life and Death Pill."
Gui Jiu waved his staff to part the mist, revealing a surging blood-red river below. A Bronze Coffin floated on its surface, from which blood-colored vines crawled out, intertwining to form a boat.
"This river leads to Moyuan's seventh layer, the Sea of Soul Burial... The Heart-Eating Lotus is located at Sea Eye." Gui Jiu leaped onto the vine boat. "If you're afraid, you can still escape now."
Yun Che sneered as he boarded the boat; the vines coiled around his feet like living snakes. The black water of the river corroded Xing Wen, yet the Demon Seed whispered excitedly: "Come closer... closer..."
Above the Sea of Soul Burial, a massive whirlpool devoured heaven and earth. Gui Jiu thrust his Bone Staff into its edge: "The Heart-Eating Lotus blooms once every hundred years at Sea Eye... today is just in time for its flowering."
Yun Che leaped into the whirlpool, and demonic patterns coalesced into scales that protected him. Deep within Sea Eye, a blood-colored lotus bud awaited blooming, yet its heart was embedded with a beating human heart!
"Using a heart to nurture a lotus... no wonder it can cleanse demonic poison." He swung his sword to sever the lotus stem, causing the sea to boil violently. Nine skeletal dragons burst forth from the waves, their heads adorned with armored guardians of the lotus: "Ants... how dare you steal from the Demon Lord's sacred relic!"
The skeletal dragons breathed ghostly flames; Yun Che used the Heart-Eating Lotus as a shield. The lotus petals burst open with blood light, consuming all of the flames. The guardian swung its halberd down; its edge resonated with Yun Che's Demon Seed, causing its attack to suddenly slow.
"You carry... the aura of a Demon Lord?!" The guardian stumbled back in shock.
Seizing this opportunity, Yun Che infused Xing Wen into the Heart-Eating Lotus, causing its heart to explode with blinding blood light. The skeletal dragons howled and disintegrated while the guardian transformed into black mist and fled: "On the day of the Demon Lord's revival... I will claim your soul!"
Gui Jiu crushed the Heart-Eating Lotus into a furnace; Cleansing Soul Grass transformed into golden powder that merged with Yun Che's heart's blood. In an instant, two halves of Life and Death Pill formed: one black and one white, entwined in yin and yang.
"The black pill suppresses demonic nature; the white pill sustains life..." Gui Jiu flicked the black pill into Yun Che's mouth. "But remember... The Demon Seed is merely asleep; it will awaken again."
As demonic patterns receded like tides, Xing Wen shone with golden brilliance once more. Yun Che clenched the white pill tightly as he heard Gui Jiu's final advice: "Head north out of Infinite Rift... someone awaits you in Zang Xing Valley."
