CHAPTER 1890: CHAPTER 1891: PRIMORDIAL CORE

The ancient tree and Su Chengyu were still quite a distance apart, and this longsword, which resembled the Dragon Slayer Sword, manifested within the Mountain and Sea Scroll.

Given the precedent of the White Tiger Immortal Core altering the content seen within his Mountain and Sea Scroll, Su Chengyu did not make a definitive judgment that it was the Dragon Slayer.

However, it was difficult to distinguish inanimate objects; Su Chengyu had already identified the living entity within the Mountain and Sea Scroll.

Under the ancient tree, a member of the White Tiger Clan was entangled by countless transparent vines, half-suspended in mid-air.

Within them, the dense aura was something Su Chengyu immediately recognized as the purest merit power belonging to the White Tiger Immortal Core.

"Hu Xiao."

As soon as Su Chengyu spoke, Hu Xiao immediately understood and slowed down, ready to confront the enemy at any moment, steadily advancing.

As the distance closed, the full appearance of the ancient tree finally unfolded before Su Chengyu.

Without any bark or covers, the entirely transparent towering tree could only be perceived through slight differences in aura between the heavens and the earth.

It was so vast that even a thousand people could not enclose it, and it reached through the entire Primordial Land.

"Is what flows within the Heavenly Dao Breath?"

Su Chengyu’s ability was insufficient to uncover the tree’s secrets at a glance, but the slight aura from the vines entangling the White Tiger Clan member did not escape Su Chengyu’s notice.

He then looked around at the continuously emerging and perishing spiritual life forms.

Su Chengyu thoroughly understood that these countless spiritual life forms in this world were the branches and leaves extending from this towering tree, providing it with the Heavenly Dao Breath.

"My lord, what...is this?"

Hu Xiao could not perceive the full majesty of the towering tree, yet the sacred aura approaching compelled Hu Xiao to want to worship instinctively.

"If I’m not mistaken, this is the origin of your realm’s birth, the fundamental thing supporting the existence of this realm."

Su Chengyu naturally noticed Hu Xiao’s anomaly; in fact, during their approach, Su Chengyu had already detected changes in Hu Xiao’s body.

The agitation induced from the deepest part of Hu Xiao’s sea of consciousness was beyond Hu Xiao’s ability to suppress with reason alone.

However, as an outsider, Su Chengyu seemed unaffected, with neither his body nor mind feeling any influence.

"And that fellow..."

Hu Xiao pointed to the White Tiger Clan member over there, whose aura seemed severed, not understanding what they had experienced, feeling as though that person had fused with the heavens and earth.

"Receiving the baptism of the world’s purest origin power; however, it appears the baptism itself brings nothing, and the power absorbed still originates from that Immortal Core."

After Su Chengyu spoke, he looked at Hu Xiao with a cold smile: "What? Envious?"

"No, no, I do not wish to become like that, neither living nor dead..."

Hu Xiao spoke with lingering fear. Though not comprehending everything Su Chengyu said, Hu Xiao could feel that human teetering between life and death countless times each second.

Su Chengyu naturally noticed this too, yet whether this situation was caused by the peculiar ancient tree or the side effects of forcibly absorbing the White Tiger Immortal Core, he could not ascertain.

Considering the worst-case scenario, which could directly prompt an issue with the White Tiger Immortal Core, Su Chengyu had not done anything to this White Tiger Clan member immediately.

After all, there was still one matter in this place that concerned Su Chengyu greatly.

Above the White Tiger Clan member’s form, less than a hundred meters away, was a longsword almost identical to the original form of the Dragon Slayer.

Not only in appearance but even the aura was so similar, and where the sword tip pierced the transparent colossal tree, there lay a body of the Dragon Clan completely devoid of life.

"Dragon Slayer, do you recognize it?"

Su Chengyu gently spoke, and the Dragon Slayer Sword instantly flew from behind him, circling slowly while focusing all its attention on the "Dragon Slayer" in mid-air.

"I haven’t seen this sword before... However, that dragon indeed seems to be the one my previous owner used me to slay long ago."

"Are you certain?"

"Yes, although back then I had not developed complete consciousness, after bathing in the severed dragon whiskers and dragon soul, that special aura was permanently etched into my sword pattern. I will not mistake it; that was the one my previous owner slew."

Su Chengyu was inwardly shocked, looking up at that sword.

With such a response from the Dragon Slayer Sword, Su Chengyu could be certain this sword was left personally by his father, Su Zhedian.

Dragons are the kings of beasts, and for the Dragon Clan, who climbed step by step from ordinary Demon Clan members to the path of Dragon Transformation, their bodies bore marks of Heavenly Dao refinement.

Dragon Blood, Dragon Tendons, Dragon Bones, Dragon Skin, any of these thousands of years ago could be used as materials in Alchemy.

People questioned whether Su Linyuan truly slew a dragon back then because no unique items from the Dragon Clan surfaced afterward.

Now, everything had answers.

"Did Grandpa intentionally leave the complete dragon to Father back then, or was it a coincidence... or perhaps he was already planning these matters at that time?"

"My lord, what are that sword and the Demon God’s corpse used for? Why are they left here like this, such a waste."

Most demons and spirits are not well-versed in Alchemy or Artifact Refining, particularly those in this land, but Hu Xiao understood the value of the Dragon Clan corpse regardless.

How couldn’t Su Zhedian, taught personally by Grandfather Su Lin Yuan, understand as well? Observing the familiar Dragon Slayer Sword in the sky, seeing countless familiar and obscure unusual spiritual power circuits near the blade, Su Chengyu finally understood everything.

"Splitting Heaven Sword, what it opens is the sky of this place, connecting the land of another world."

After saying this, Su Chengyu’s gaze fell upon the one tangible object within the transparent colossal tree, a core resembling the heart of the tree.

"Am I right, Master of the Primordial Land? What should I call you? Primordial Core?"

"As you wish, names hold no meaning for me. Person from beyond the realm, when did you notice me?"

"From the beginning."

Faced with the core’s question, Su Chengyu had no intention of hiding this.

"What flows within the tree is the purest Heavenly Dao Breath of the Primordial Land, and the ultimate flow of these breaths is towards this core. I hadn’t considered that the core of this world might have its own consciousness before arriving, but after seeing this fellow, I understood it."

Looking at the White Tiger Clan member who had absorbed more than half of the White Tiger Immortal Core’s merit power, Su Chengyu took a deep breath.

"Was it you who had this fellow willingly imprison and absorb the White Tiger Immortal Core?"
