"Roar!" The left wolf head spewed out toxic flames, while the right wolf head unleashed ice spikes. Yun Che, stepping lightly with the Flowing Wind Steps, dodged the attacks, but the Skeleton beneath him was shattered into powder by the collision of ice and fire.
In that moment, the Demon Mark spread to his left eye, distorting his view of the world. He saw a black crystal core pulsating in the heart of the Demon Wolf and heard a plea emanating from it: "Kill me... set me free..."
With a roar, Yun Che plunged his hand into the chest cavity of the Demon Wolf. The Heijing felt scalding hot in his grasp as the Demon Wolf howled and transformed into black smoke, dissipating into nothingness. He crushed the crystal core, and demonic energy surged into Xing Wen, temporarily suppressing the turmoil of the Demon Seed!
"So that's how it is..." he wiped away the black blood from the corner of his mouth. "The crystal core of the Spirit of the Abyss... can balance Xing Wen and the Demon Mark."
From deep within the mist came the sound of chains dragging on the ground, and a stooped 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 finger to shoot out a silver needle; Yun Che swung his sword to block it, but the needle curved and pierced into Xing Wen!
"Xing Wen is tainted by demonic energy... interesting!" The old man's voice was raspy 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 it... then die."
Gui Jiu laughed heartily, planting his Bone Staff on the ground: "Simple! Obtain the Heart Devouring Lotus from the Nine Nether Demon Lord and Pure Soul Grass from the Heavenly Emperor... then use your heart's blood as a guide to refine it into the Life and Death Pill."
Gui Jiu waved his staff to part the mist, revealing a surging blood-colored river below. A Bronze Coffin floated up from the river, and Blood-colored Vines crawled out, intertwining to form a boat.
"This river leads to Moyuan's seventh layer, known as Burial Sea... The Heart Devouring Lotus is located at Sea Eye." Gui Jiu leaped onto the vine boat. "If you're scared, 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 hummed excitedly: "Come closer... closer..."
Above Burial Sea, a massive whirlpool swallowed everything. Gui Jiu's Bone Staff plunged into its edge: "The Heart Devouring Lotus blooms at Sea Eye once every hundred years... today happens to be its flowering period."
Yun Che leaped into the whirlpool, and as he did so, the Demon Mark coalesced into scales that protected him. Deep within Sea Eye lay a blood-colored lotus bud waiting to bloom, but embedded in its heart was a beating human heart!
"Using a heart to nourish a lotus... no wonder it can cure demonic poison." He swung his sword to sever the lotus stem, causing the seawater to boil violently. Nine skeletal dragons burst forth from the waves, with one dragon head seated upon it was the Guardian of the Lotus clad in demonic armor: "Ant... how dare you steal from a Demon Lord's sacred relic!"
The skeletal dragon exhaled ghostly flames; Yun Che used the Heart Devouring Lotus as a shield. The lotus petals burst open with blood light, completely devouring the flames. The Guardian of the Lotus swung its halberd toward him; its blade resonated with both Demon Mark and Yun Che's Demon Seed, causing its attack to suddenly slow.
"You possess... an aura of a Demon Lord?!" The Guardian of the Lotus staggered back in shock.
Seizing this opportunity, Yun Che infused Xing Wen into Heart Devouring Lotus; its heart exploded with blinding blood light. The skeletal dragon howled and disintegrated while the Guardian of the Lotus transformed into black mist and fled: "On the day of resurrection for the Demon Lord... I will claim your soul!"
Gui Jiu crushed Heart Devouring Lotus into powder for refining; Pure Soul Grass turned into golden dust that merged with Yun Che's heart blood. In an instant when the pill formed, Life and Death Pill split into two halves: one black and one white, entangled in yin and yang.
"The Hei Dan suppresses demonic nature while Bai Dan restores vitality..." Gui Jiu flicked Hei Dan into Yun Che's mouth. "But remember... Demon Seed is merely asleep; it will awaken again."
As if receding like a tide, the Demon Mark faded away while Xing Wen regained its golden brilliance. Yun Che clenched Bai Dan tightly as Gui Jiu's final advice echoed in his ears: "Head north out of Infinite Rift... someone awaits you at Burial Star Valley."
