I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"call!"

With a sigh of relief, Gu Xiu glanced around. With the Immortal Emperor's Mark fading and the Soul Hunters no longer able to be extracted, Gu Xiu's two-day, two-night killing spree finally came to an end.

Perhaps because the Immortal Emperor's Mark attracted too many evil demons, after losing the attraction of the Immortal Emperor's Mark, a vacuum zone without evil demons appeared on Gu Xiu's side.

"It's finally all resolved."

Once he was sure there was no immediate danger, Gu Xiu simply lay down on the ground and began to pant heavily.

no way.

Even constant killing can be tiring.

Two days and two nights of frantic killing, while maintaining a high level of focus at all times. Before, I didn't feel anything when killing the evil demons, but now that I've relaxed, I feel completely exhausted.

Not to mention, although Xuan energy can be used and then recycled, no matter how much it is recycled, there will still be some loss. It is impossible to achieve a completely zero-loss state.

That is, his dantian and qi sea are more expansive than others, otherwise he would not have been able to last so long.

Most importantly, the two days of fighting allowed Gu Xiu to discover a drawback of the colorless domain.

It consumes a lot!

It could even be described as enormous!

Actually, Gu Xiu didn't realize this at first. Because the consumption was indeed very small at that time, the amount of Xuan power consumed was even less than the amount of spiritual energy Gu Xiu constantly absorbed. So at that time, he felt that his domain did not consume as much spiritual power as the rumors outside suggested.

However, as time went by, Gu Xiu only realized this after the colorless realm gradually expanded.

If the colorless field is activated normally, and no function is used, but only to harvest the seven-colored fireflies, the consumption is indeed minimal. Even if the range is expanded, the increased consumption is still not significant.

However, if the ability of the colorless domain is used, the consumption will increase sharply.

Currently, the colorless field serves two purposes.

Increase itself.

And lower the level of powerful enemies.

The former currently increases its own power by a maximum of 50%. From 10% to 50%, the consumption of Xuan power will double for every 10% increase. Even though Xuan power is more durable than spiritual energy and can even be recycled, it is still not enough to make ends meet and will continuously consume the Xuan power accumulated in Gu Xiu's Qi Sea Dantian.

As for lowering the level of a powerful enemy, that would require even greater expenditure.

That's calculated in breaths. As long as there are eighth-tier evil demons in the domain, every breath is rapidly consuming Gu Xiu's profound energy. And for each additional demon, the consumption will increase again, and it will be much more terrifying than the consumption of amplifying one's own power by 50%.

In other words, Gu Xiu's dantian and qi sea were large enough that they were hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than cultivators of the same level, and the Soul Hunter was also helping to kill the evil demon.

Otherwise, let alone last two days.

It would be quite good if it could last for three hours.

"The suppression of a powerful enemy's realm by the colorless domain is not something I can choose to do. Therefore, if I face too many powerful enemies in the future and want to use the colorless domain to suppress their realm, I will need to be prepared for my cultivation to evaporate rapidly in advance."

Gu Xiu muttered to himself, keeping this in mind.

He wasn't discouraged.

What's wrong with excessive energy expenditure?

A domain that can continuously grow, amplify its own combat power by at least 50%, and suppress powerful enemies by an entire realm is simply the strongest domain. Its only drawback is that it consumes too much energy, which is not a flaw at all.

Moreover, discovering this flaw now will allow us to better avoid certain special situations in the future.

Gu Xiu rested for a full day this time.

One after another, evil demons began to appear. Although he had previously killed one without any evil demons, it was clear that as time went on, the evil demons would gather again to fill the gap.

This puzzled Gu Xiu.

The demons are clearly mindless; they would not act consciously when there are no human cultivators around. So why do they naturally fill the void in the vacuum?

Gu Xiu had secretly investigated.

They discovered that each of the demonic creatures was like a chess piece, or rather, a seed neatly planted in its own area. When they did not notice the human cultivators, they would generally just wander around in their respective areas.

Why would they do that in the gray fog?

What force is attracting them?

"Also, what exactly is that immortal seal left behind by the Immortal Emperor, and why is it able to attract the evil demon to attack me?"

Gu Xiu was filled with doubt and couldn't figure it out.

However, seeing more and more evil demons appearing, Gu Xiu knew it was time for him to set off.

He had no intention of returning to Wuwei City. Although the city lord admired him greatly, Wuwei City was currently focused on preparing for war, so even if he went back, he wouldn't be of much help.

Therefore, he planned to go to another city northwest of Wuwei City.

Si Fire City.

I had already received news that Si Huo City had captured a Hao Yu cultivator, and judging from the timeline, the cultivator arrived only a few days earlier than me, so he must have entered the Three Realms Sea of ​​Sin with me.

I just don't know who it is.

He wanted to go and check on the situation; it would be good if he could rescue them.

To determine direction in the gray fog, one cannot rely on the sun, because the sun rises differently each time here, not in the usual east and sets in the west, and the gray fog has a severe impact on sunlight, so it is impossible to count on it.

The only way was to rely on the three huge full moons to determine the direction.

Speaking of which, those three full moons are quite special. When Gu Xiu first arrived at Ziwei Enclosure, he was immediately drawn to those three full moons. Later, he discovered that these three moons were always present, whether it was day or night.

Even when the gray fog obscured people's vision, the three full moons seemed to ignore the fog and could be seen as long as one looked up, and their positions did not change.

Once you've identified the direction, even if it's not necessarily accurate, it shouldn't be too far off.

It was just unexpected.

Gu Xiu had only been walking for a little over half an hour when he suddenly encountered human tracks.

Yes, people.

Gu Xiu initially thought they were from Wuwei City. After all, although he had been traveling for a while, he was still in the east of Wuwei City. According to the map of Ziwei Enclosure he had seen, he was basically on the edge of Ziwei Enclosure. It was unlikely that anyone else would come here except for Wuwei City.

It was unexpected.

Once Gu Xiu could see through the gray fog and clearly see the group's clothing, he was certain that they were not from Wuwei City.

They were all dressed in long robes and cloaks, the hem of which was crimson, gradually fading to white upwards, making them look from a distance like a raging fire burning in a gray mist. Gu Xiu, having learned quite a bit about Ziwei City, recognized the group at a glance.

These are the Holy Flame Guards of the Southern Lord, but it is unknown which city they come from.

There were about a hundred people in total, forming a circular formation. Everyone on the outer perimeter was armed and extremely vigilant. In the center of their formation, there were seven people dressed in crimson cloaks, one of whom was carrying a lantern that emitted a crimson light that kept the surrounding gray fog at bay.

"What are Nan Jun's men doing here?"

"A surprise attack on Wuwei City?"

Gu Xiu was puzzled, but after careful observation, he realized it didn't seem right. There were too few people, and they weren't heading towards Wuwei City; instead, they were still heading due east. But according to the map of Ziwei Enclosure that Gu Xiu had seen, due east should be the boundary of Ziwei Enclosure.

After a moment's thought, he decided to follow.

There were clearly many powerful cultivators among them. Gu Xiu did not get too close, but instead hid in the gray mist and stayed far behind.

This one.

They followed him for most of the day.

A massive barrier of light appeared ahead, resembling the aurora borealis with its dazzling colors. Gu Xiu had heard of this; it was the Sinful Sea Realm, and it was said that not only the Purple Star Enclosure, but the entire Three Enclosures Sinful Sea was sealed off by such a realm.

"what are they doing?"

Gu Xiu found it strange. He had been staring at the group of Southern Lord's Holy Fire Guards, but he noticed that after the group reached the Aurora Barrier, they immediately took out one human corpse after another from somewhere and arranged them on the ground to form a very special symbol.

Gu Xiu looked closely at the symbol, but found that as soon as he focused his mind, he felt a pang of heart palpitation, his stomach began to churn, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over, and even his soul began to feel a stinging pain for no reason.

But when he looked away, that feeling vanished without a trace.

He didn't approach rashly, intending only to see what this group of people wanted to do, but he discovered that after they completed the construction of the first symbol, one of the seven people who were clearly out of place with the others stepped forward.

The man stood atop a symbol of piled-up corpses, pulled out a sharp blade, and plunged it into his heart without hesitation.

The others, however, knelt down around the special symbol, chanting incantations as if reciting some kind of spell, and bowing repeatedly.

The blood of the person who committed suicide continued to flow. Although it was only one person's blood, for some reason it stained the entire pile of corpses and symbols blood red, making it look cruel and evil.

more importantly.

As the blood filled the entire corpse symbol, a pitch-black crack appeared on the nearby aurora barrier. The crack was neither too big nor too small, just big enough for one person to pass through.

However, it does not seem to be fully open, as streaks of aurora still shimmer within the cracks.

Upon seeing this, the crowd that had been bowing in worship for a while longer left and headed along the back of the aurora barrier.

As for the person who committed suicide, he was still alive. He was kneeling quietly in the center of the symbol. Although his life was constantly slipping away, his eyes were filled with a chilling fanaticism.

Gu Xiu frowned and observed for a while. The person was completely still. If he could not still feel the person's breath, he would have thought the person was dead.

Seeing that the group of Sacred Flame Guards had already gone far away, Gu Xiu thought for a moment and then stepped forward.

He wanted to ask about the specifics.
