Before I Died, I Forcibly Kissed The Heroine

Flying Flowers, Chasing Moon.

A Heavenly-level Sword Dao technique, inherited from Chen Wangchuan.

Because it was an ancient skill from the Chen family, connected with the Grand Unity Sword Qi lineage, it balanced speed and lethality, fully manifesting the power of the sword aura.

Su Shi held his chest high, his back straight, his shoulders and elbows heavy, like a crescent moon suspended in the air. Light converged on the blade of the sword, and the water-like sword aura instantly solidified the air.

The ferocious beast turned its head, its pupils shrinking to pinpricks.

Clearly, it sensed the terror of this move!

“Roar!”

The beast roared in anger, opening its bloodied jaws wide, billowing black energy surging out, attempting to submerge Su Shi completely.

And in the next second.

Silver light tore through the night, a large net woven from sword aura traversed through the beast’s body.

The air fell silent.

The beast stood rigidly in its original spot, bloodlines gradually emerging on its body.

“…..”

A breeze swept by, the enormous body collapsed like a building, shattered into irregular chunks of flesh.

Blood flowed between the cracks in the ground, staining it a dark red color.

“In this state, can you still recover?”

Su Shi’s figure slowly descended. He had entered the Spirit Severing Realm.

Although this Nascent Soul beast was somewhat eerie, it was like a chicken or a dog before him, without any ability to resist.

“Brother, take a look, something seems off.”

At this moment, Yu Ren’er’s voice sounded.

Su Shi looked over and his brow instantly furrowed.

Blood on the ground seemed to possess some sort of sentience, flowing along a certain path, eventually forming an octagram-like pattern. But on closer inspection, it was found that this “octagram” had reversed Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, appearing extremely sinister.

“This is… a formation?”

All the fragments of flesh were enveloped by the formation.

Under the crimson light, the chunks of flesh floated into the air, as if blocks were being reconstructed. The beast’s body rapidly regenerated.

In less than a moment, it was completely restored, just like before.

The beast rubbed its neck, mocking Su Shi, seemingly ridiculing that his attack had been completely ineffective.

“Brother, what’s going on with this creature?”

Yu Ren’er looked a bit nervous.

Su Shi’s eyes narrowed slightly, “I see!”

No wonder it could enhance its strength by devouring beasts. Even if it was cut into pieces, it could quickly regenerate.

This thing wasn’t a living being at all; fundamentally, it was driven by a formation, a “manufactured” killing machine!

“However, this formation is really eerie.”

Su Shi comprehended the “Myriad Formations Solution,” so he could easily see through even ancient, deadly formations like the Blood Slaughter Array.

But this formation before him intertwined devouring, refining, regeneration, as if forcibly melding various creatures together, yet without producing any repulsion. He had never seen anything this eerie.

Thunk.

A light sound. A small sparkling golden spark rose and fell like dust on the reconstituted beast’s body. Before the beast could react, the spark instantly spread like wildfire, the bursting golden flames consuming it.

“Roar!”

The beast let out a piercing roar.

It writhed in pain on the ground, with black energy constantly surging within its body, attempting to extinguish the flames. However, the Blazing Star Heavenly Flame was a high-level divine fire, the natural enemy of all evil and wicked things; it wasn’t easy to extinguish. Under the scorching of the divine fire, the beast’s body crumbled like earth and tiles, continuously turning into flying ashes.

The blood-red inverted octagram formation lit up again, but the rate of flesh regeneration couldn’t keep up with the speed at which the divine fire was destroying it.

In just a short moment, the colossal creature had already dissipated into nothingness, leaving only a translucent remnant of its soul suspended in the air.

The soul bore blood-red patterns, looking extremely eerie.

“It seems like this is the formation’s core,” Su Shi carefully observed.

This ancient evil formation could devour living beings, but it couldn’t create something from nothing. Therefore, if they wanted this beast to have consciousness, they had to use a genuine soul as the foundation, which was the core of this formation.

As long as the soul remained intact, the beast could endlessly regenerate.

“This soul… seems to be from the Lion Clan?” Yu Ren’er questioned.

“Hmm?”

Su Shi looked over.

He saw the vague outline of the soul, as if it was about to dissipate, but its general appearance could still be discerned.

The pair of beast ears on its head was enough to confirm its identity. Indeed, it was a member of the Lion Clan!

“……”

The gaze of the Lion Clan soul gradually regained a hint of clarity, uttering fragmented syllables that were difficult to understand.

Manipulated by the formation, within the Demon-Locking Tower, it had lost track of how many years had passed.

Its first thought upon regaining consciousness was the desire for death… which indicated the extent of the torture it had endured!

“To create ‘beasts’ using the souls of outsider races, and then to turn around and slaughter those races, using their grudges and hatred as nourishment, amplifying the power of the formation to the fullest extent… It’s truly malicious!” Su Shi’s eyes briefly flashed with lightning.

The Lion Clan soul was covered in a spider-web-like pattern of cracks, yet a relieved smile emerged from its eyes.

“Thank you,” she said.

Before the words even landed, they shattered into a burst of dust.

Yu Ren’er clenched her delicate hand tightly, her gaze cold as frost. Su Shi sighed, not knowing what to say.

As the soul disintegrated, the light on the walls faded, and the entire second floor finally returned to calm. Meanwhile, two gentle streams of energy entered their bodies.

Compared to the “reward” on the first level, the energy on this level became even purer, almost directly absorbable without the need for refinement.

After a moment, Su Shi opened his eyes. His pupils flickered with divine light, and his aura had become denser. Given his current state, a breakthrough in a short time was unlikely, but this pure energy still provided a considerable boost.

On the other hand, Yu Ren’er sat cross-legged, her eyes tightly shut, her body emitting fluctuating light. Her two fox tails swayed gently behind her.

The third fox tail seemed to be faintly condensing.

Evidently, this pure energy had yielded her significant gains.

Observing this, Su Shi didn’t disturb her, but rather set up a protective formation around her. Then, he turned and ascended the stairs alone. This level of the trial was already proving challenging for Yu Ren’er.

Su Shi didn’t want her to take any more risks entering the next level.

Moreover, the “reward” from this level should be enough for her to absorb for a while. He stepped onto the stairs and ascended.

Similar to before, the dark staircase spiraled upwards, lit only by dimly lit fire sconces, casting a dim glow on the path ahead.

The darkness around was as profound as the stillness of the deep sea.

He reached the final step of the staircase. A ripple of air behind him sealed the entrance completely.

Su Shi walked into the third floor with measured steps, raising his gaze to survey the surroundings. Similar to the previous two levels, the square was devoid of any objects, with continuous murals adorning the walls.

As he focused on them, his brows furrowed.

“Hmm?”

“What is this…”
