Reincarnation Paradise

At this moment, Su Xiao had already compressed his aura to a size of three meters, and time was running out. He needed to experiment to see if the envisioned method was feasible quickly.

Of course, even if unsuccessful, with the protection of his aura, Su Xiao wouldn't be in much danger, just losing some Paradise Coins.

A transparent energy thread connected the simplified Devouring Core and Su Xiao. Please don't underestimate this thread; once the Devouring Core successfully absorbs the aura, purifies it, and refines it, the pure atmosphere obtained will be conducted to Su Xiao through this thread.

This energy thread was created by Su Xiao, who spent nearly 500 points of mana. Internally, it contained eight ultra-small, simplified Devouring Cores, each capable of only one function: purification.

From the entry of the aura into the simplified Devouring Core until its conduction to Su Xiao, there would be a total of nine purification processes. Su Xiao would be helpless if there were any negative energies among them.

Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao activated the simplified Devouring Core above his head.

Dozens of small holes opened on the Devouring Core, akin to a whale sucking in water, instantly drawing in the aura within dozens of meters without any erosion. Su Xiao felt a sudden decrease in pressure.

Cracks appeared on the simplified Devouring Core with a clicking sound. Su Xiao wasn't surprised. This was a simplified version he had made. When he created the complete Devouring Core, he had been immersed in the Azure Steel Shadow Energy Pool, consuming an unknown amount of Azure Steel Shadow Energy.

Now, relying solely on his own Azure Steel Shadow Energy, the vulnerability of the simplified Devouring Core was expected.

After a large amount of aura was absorbed into the simplified Devouring Core, it began its operation, purifying and refining the atmosphere.

Soon, a faint red energy surged from the simplified Devouring Core. At this point, it had turned entirely blood-red inside, filled with impurities of the aura.

The pure aura was conducted to Su Xiao through the energy thread. Inside the line, the eight even more simplified Devouring Cores started operating, purifying the atmosphere repeatedly.

Finally, the aura had been purified to almost transparent, with only a faint red colour visible.

Su Xiao gathered a clump of his aura in his hands, integrating the ambience purified nine times into his own without effort. He noticed no anomalies and a delighted expression appeared on his face.

The initial experiment was successful. Afterwards, the process became much more straightforward, allowing the simplified Devouring Core above his head to continuously absorb and filter the aura, transforming it into an absorbable, pure atmosphere.

Su Xiao managed to pull off this skill upgrade, something most contractors wouldn't even think of. However, he was aware he wasn't the first to do so.

The facilities of the Paradise of Reincarnation were there for a reason. Su Xiao spent Paradise Coins on using these facilities. As for how to use them specifically, it depended on him—whether he stuck to conventional methods or minimized expenses to achieve more significant improvements.

What Su Xiao was doing now would draw attention from the Paradise of Reincarnation. However, he hadn't received any warnings, indicating that the Paradise of Reincarnation tacitly approved contractors acting this way.

The simplified Devouring Core absorbed large amounts of aura, and Su Xiao soaked the resulting pure atmosphere after several layers of purification.

Absorbing a substantial amount of this aura, Su Xiao didn't feel any abnormalities. He only sensed his aura rapidly increasing. However, there were also downsides; the blood scent on him grew more assertive. Who knew if this would affect his charm attribute?

Compared to the aura floating in the ancient battlefield, what Su Xiao absorbed was merely a drop in the ocean. On this battlefield lay fallen giants, demonic goats, old behemoths, and influential individuals of various races. How much aura would these individuals produce after death?

Ten minutes later, cracks covered the simplified Devouring Core above Su Xiao's head, on the brink of shattering at any moment. The energy thread had turned blood-red, filled with remnants of the aura—remnants that should never be inhaled, leading to endless troubles.

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. There was little time left for continued absorption. As he was preparing to absorb one final wave of aura, he suddenly sensed something amiss in his surroundings.

The aura from the entire ancient battlefield began converging towards Su Xiao. If the simplified Devouring Core absorbed such a quantity of atmosphere, it would instantly shatter, let alone purify and refine it.

Realizing the danger, Su Xiao immediately disengaged the simplified Devouring Core. Allowing the aura to invade him was the only way he would be sent back to the Skill Enhancement Hall.

Bloody patterns emerged on Su Xiao's body.

Simultaneously, the aura above him formed a colossal hand, nearly solidified, its palm lines visible.

As the blood-coloured hand descended, Su Xiao felt an intense chill. If struck by this thing, he would undoubtedly die, without a doubt!

Boom!

A loud sound echoed across the ancient battlefield. A seemingly bottomless palm-shaped abyss appeared, and Su Xiao had vanished.

Boom!

A sonic boom reverberated as a man with white hair, standing about three meters tall, his face withered, appeared.

Pointing his finger into the air, the scenery began to reverse. The palm-shaped abyss disappeared, and the figure of Su Xiao sitting on the ground reappeared.

"Hmm? Annihilation law?"

The white-haired man's pupils constricted, and his face, resembling dry wood, turned icy.

"Another appearance? Since I've encountered you during your growth period, let's turn you into a corpse."

The space in front of the white-haired man shattered without any visible action. He stepped into the void, starting to track Su Xiao.

Two seconds later,

Bang!

The space ruptured once more. The already distorted, white-haired man flew out of the ruptured area and crashed to the ground.

"What kind of existence is this? What great power..."

The white-haired man's lips trembled as if he had seen something terrifying.

Clang!

A crisp, slashing sound echoed as a spatial fissure appeared. A humanoid creature holding a long blade, emanating blue smoke all over its body, emerged from the rift.

"Who's this again? No, it's a blade..."

Swish~

The head of the white-haired man flew off. The humanoid creature enveloped in blue smoke stared at the corpse for a long time before turning and entering the rift.

"Comrade, wherever you are, let me... kill you."

The voice of the humanoid creature came from within the spatial crack.

Several minutes later, the ruptures and fissures in the ancient battlefield were healed.

Inside the Skill Enhancement Chamber, Su Xiao lay on the ground, covered in blood, on the verge of losing consciousness at any moment.

The blood-coloured hand hadn't struck him, but he still suffered severe injuries. This made him vigilant; given the multitude of unknown factors, he couldn't quickly enter that ancient battlefield in the future.

[Warning: Hunter has suffered aura invasion from the ancient battlefield, multiple fractures throughout the body, severe internal bleeding, and trace remnants of aura mixed into the breath. [Pay Paradise Coins for recovery.]

Squinting his eyes, even after purifying the aura through multiple means, trace remnants of atmosphere still mixed into his breath. Fortunately, they could be removed with Paradise Coins.

"Pay."

As soon as he uttered the word, Su Xiao felt a pang.

[Prompt: Clearing aura invasion requires 10,600 Paradise Coins.]

[Prompt: Multiple fractures and severe internal bleeding require 1,300 Paradise Coins.]

[Prompt: Removal of aura remnants from breath requires 47,200 Paradise Coins.]

[Paradise Coin payment completed.]. Recovery initiated.]

One hour later, looking at the remaining 35,800 Paradise Coins, Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh. The rate at which he spent Paradise Coins was too fast. He needed to use the remaining coins to create Potion No. 1.

Despite spending a large amount of Paradise Coins, they were well spent. He immediately opened the skill list to check the aura projection skill.
