Just as Ren Pingsheng was fully immersed in understanding the Spatial Realm, the Heart of Space was wandering within him, as if admiring its new territory. However, when it made a full circle, it suddenly discovered the Killing Heart and Demon God Heart in his left chest.
The sudden discovery of these two objects piqued its interest, and it approached without hesitation. The gray Killing Heart did not evoke much feeling, but the red Demon God Heart caused it to pause immediately.
Memories flowed back like water, replaying scenes from the past. At that time, the Void Emperor had unleashed the Heart of Space during the final battle with the Demon Dragon, sealing everything in the surroundings. Those distant memories existed deep within the Heart of Space like a brand.
Thus, upon seeing the Demon God Heart and sensing the familiar Demonic Energy, it reacted instantly. Waves of Space energy radiated outward, enveloping the Demon God Heart, while Intimidation pressed down directly upon it, as if facing a mortal enemy with a resolve to fight to the death.
Outside, Ren Pingsheng was deeply engrossed in his insights when he was suddenly engulfed by more intense waves. Just as he had grasped ninety percent of the Spatial Realm, he achieved completeness in an instant.
Before he could feel joy, his body began to churn violently, pain surging like a tide. The sensation was indescribable, as if two entities were fighting within him. While enduring the pain, Ren Pingsheng assessed his internal situation.
Sure enough, the Heart of Space and Demon God Heart were clashing with each other continuously. They were colliding yet controlling their strength so that Ren Pingsheng would not be shattered by the shockwaves. However, even so, a trace of their power made him feel as if death would be preferable.
“Pfft…” He couldn't help but spit out blood; the pain turned his face pale. “Damn it, if this continues, I might really be in danger.”
“I knew that encountering these things would lead to no good. The Void Emperor perished alongside the Demon God back then; that's why the Heart of Space reacts so strongly to the Demon God Heart.”
At that moment, in a distant hall where a man with blood-red hair was chained up, he reacted again but appeared somewhat puzzled.
“Hmm, there's a response; it seems he has left that mysterious place, which is why I can sense it. But what is that thing? It's actually battling with the Demon God Heart.” He murmured to himself, seemingly confused.
Previously, after Ren Pingsheng entered that mysterious place, he only knew that Ren Pingsheng was not in life-threatening danger; unfortunately, he could not sense his specific condition because it was isolated by a Spatial Vortex. Even he could not sense anything and could only infer his safety through the intact Demon God Heart.
Now that the Spatial Vortex had disappeared, he naturally gained more precise sensing abilities and immediately noticed the battle between the Heart of Space and Demon God Heart. However, he couldn't ascertain what this Heart of Space was.
“It’s no less than my Demon God Heart; it wasn’t there before. It seems this Transmitter obtained some mysterious Heritage in that mysterious place! I’ll expend some essence to see what exactly this thing is.”
This person seemed to have made a decision and without any visible action felt that the entire hall was enveloped in blood color. However, this blood color could not leave the hall; it merely circulated within it. Occasionally, when those chains emitted light, the surrounding blood color would be dispelled immediately.
“Bloodline connection, Blood God descends!” He exclaimed softly, and the blood-red color in the hall began to tremble continuously. After a few breaths, it gradually Quieted down. The person sitting cross-legged, whose face was already pale, now appeared even more so. Even the aura around him weakened slightly.
In the Spatial Turbulence, Ren Pingsheng was currently tormented by pain. He did not notice that the Demon God Heart, which had been Battleing, suddenly shook violently. The statue in the Demon God's Heart Space was instantly covered by a layer of blood-red hue. Then, the statue's eyes lit up.
“Fortunately, it succeeded, but my strength has greatly diminished. Using these methods has become somewhat laborious.” The statue seemed to come to life and surprisingly spoke.
“Hmm, the fluctuations of Space, could this be?” He looked outward from the Demon God's Heart Space and saw the Heart of Space and its emanating waves, his expression shifting.
“So that's it. It seems my speculation was not wrong. This mysterious place is not only active with Space power but also with Demonic Energy. This should be the place where the Dark Demon God and the God of Space fought and fell during ancient times.” He said with a somewhat strange expression.
Other demon gods were naturally well aware of this matter; it had been passed down through the history of the demon race. The demon race had always had the Nine Demon Gods since ancient times, being the most powerful clan. Unfortunately, during that great war, one demon god fell—namely, the Dark Demon God. Not only did he fall, but his Heritage was also severed.
Since then, the Nine Demon Gods of the demon race became eight. Because they did not know where the Dark Demon God fell, his Heritage was severed, and naturally, no Transmitter appeared.
Originally, if other demon gods were willing to search for it, there would not have been no hope. However, as wars continued later on, this matter was set aside until now without resolution.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon the location of the Dark Demon God's fall; even he, as a demon god, found it hard to react for a moment.
“It seems destined for my demon race to rise again; after ancient times, the Nine Great Demon Gods will gather once more and wage war upon the world.” He said excitedly. “However, this Transmitter is also an excellent opportunity; I have obtained the Heritage of the God of Space. Unfortunately, in the end, everything will be mine. The conditions you promised me back then are now due for fulfillment.”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the Demon God Heart trembled. Then blood-red energy spread out and began to circulate within Ren Pingsheng. The previously Battleing Demon God Heart also stopped momentarily under the protection of the Blood-red Barrier, managing to withstand the attack from the Heart of Space for a time.
As the blood-red energy spread, countless Demonic Energy filled Ren Pingsheng's Meridian, while his True Qi began to slowly recede. The black Demonic Energy, following a peculiar path, started to operate; at first slowly but gradually increasing in speed.
Perhaps initially unclear about what was happening, after so many cycles of operation, even a fool could notice this new method's operational path. Remembering how Ren Pingsheng had obtained the Blood God Technique in the Demon God Heart, he began to understand.
This demon god directly forced Ren Pingsheng to cultivate the Blood God Technique, a method he had always avoided because he knew it had hidden dangers—fearing it might be a backup plan from the demon god—he had consistently refused it. Yet despite trying to evade it repeatedly, he still ended up cultivating it.
The Heart of Space quickly realized something was wrong and immediately halted its actions. Streams of brown gas began to emanate outwards as it started expelling the Black Magic Energy. These streams of brown gas also began circulating within Ren Pingsheng's Meridian. After one complete cycle around his body, they occupied half of his Meridian, evenly matched with the black Demonic Energy. However, their operational paths were somewhat different; they were operating under another technique.
“Damn it! If it weren't for my greatly reduced strength, I could suppress even the Heritage of the God of Space. Now time is running out; it seems I can only send him there.” The blood-red statue in the Demon God's Heart Space, said angrily. Then a familiar blood-colored Light Barrier appeared and enveloped unconscious Ren Pingsheng. It re-entered the Spatial Turbulence, flying towards a distance.
After completing this, the blood on the blood-colored statue began to slowly fade away, eventually returning to a normal statue. There was no longer a trace of breath.
"I hope this time it can succeed! However, being able to bring out the Heritage of the Dark Demon God is already a significant gain," a figure in the hall said calmly. It turned out that when he sent Ren Pingsheng away, he also brought out the mysterious Heritage of the Dark Demon God.
"Go! Go find your Transmitter; I believe the day we reunite is not far off!" He softly spoke as a Heart wrapped in Black Magic Energy flew straight out of the hall. The seal of this hall could trap people, but it seemed ineffective against this Heart. It darted out of the hall and vanished in an instant.
As for Ren Pingsheng, he was unaware when the statue in the Demon God Heart awakened. However, as the Black Magic Energy spread within him, he immediately sensed something was wrong, yet he was powerless to act. The black Demonic Energy repelled his True Qi and began to operate autonomously.
"Damn it, is this the Blood God Technique? It seems that the Demon God used some means. Could it be that this was the condition he made me agree to?" He felt a surge of panic and quickly deduced everything. However, before he could think of a solution, the actions of the Heart of Space left him utterly astonished.
He saw streams of brown air and Black Magic Energy occupying half of his Meridian each, operating while simultaneously battling against each other. It seemed they both wanted to push the other out and monopolize this space.
"Ah... damn it!" Ren Pingsheng let out a roar, his face contorted, and then he fell into a state of torment and unconsciousness. It should be noted that when cultivating techniques, individuals generally practice methods that align with their attributes. This is why those who cultivate True Qi find it difficult to practice Demonic Cultivation Methods.
Moreover, although techniques that align with one's attributes can be cultivated, there is a prerequisite: one must undergo a transition process before practicing High-Level Martial Arts. This involves completely eliminating the influence of previous techniques so that cultivating High-Level Martial Arts can proceed more smoothly.
For Ren Pingsheng, this wasn't much of an issue since he had never practiced Demonic Cultivation Methods and could cultivate directly. The key problem was that simultaneously operating two different techniques was a major taboo for martial artists. For instance, two conflicting attribute techniques or even two techniques with the same attribute cannot run simultaneously. Doing so could lead to life-threatening consequences.
Now, Ren Pingsheng had committed all major taboos; not only was he simultaneously cultivating completely opposite techniques—True Qi Cultivation Method and Ancient Lan Divine Art alongside Demonic Cultivation Method and Blood God Technique—but he also had an unknown attribute technique from the God of Space running within him. The torment from this situation could easily cause him to lose consciousness.
Wrapped in Blood-red Radiance, his body twisted continuously as blood flowed from him, veins bulging. Strange sounds echoed from within him, resembling bones cracking.
