Chapter 41: Rescuing Scholar Cangran (1/2)

Heavenly Dao True Essence had also plundered a strand of human True Essence for him.

It must have come from the mad cultivator encountered earlier. Ning Wuxie sensed this strand of True Essence and discovered it was a fire element True Essence.

The strands of scorching solar energy were slowly stripped away by Heavenly Dao True Essence, merging into the swirling True Essence ring.

Ning Wuxie carefully felt it; aside from the more abundant spiritual power, there were no other noticeable sensations.

However, the colors on the Heavenly Dao True Essence ring seemed to have surpassed the previous seven-colored brilliance.

There were far more than seven colors, and the entire True Essence ring was vibrant and dynamic, with some particularly rare colors appearing and disappearing, either bright or dark, mixed or pure.

Ning Wuxie had never seen such colors in True Essence before and did not know which attribute they belonged to.

The elements in the world were so numerous that he could not recognize them all.

It was just that he did not understand why Heavenly Dao True Essence had chosen to plunder a strand of fire element True Essence this time.

Perhaps it was random?

Ning Wuxie did not know what the result would be after consuming another human’s True Essence, so he could only silently anticipate it.

Dantai Ying held a jade bottle, carefully lifting it to her chest, walking alongside Ning Wuxie and Xuan’er.

After learning that the demon domain would unleash the beastly nature of humans, she no longer appeared calm and collected; instead, she seemed cautious and vigilant.

Demons and humans were different; humans lived in society, and although their nature might be pure and ignorant, they would learn basic principles of morality, right and wrong, and good and evil as they grew.

In simple terms, it was “human nature.”

Demons, however, did not have this concept.

Demons were beasts by nature, living freely in the wild.

When hungry, they ate; when in heat, they mated; the strong preyed on the weak, and when angry, they fought.

Everything relied on instinct, and they could not even be judged by human concepts of good and evil.

Thus, when Bai Ze descended into the demon domain, the human cultivators’ human nature was suppressed to the maximum extent, while their inner beastly nature was unleashed.

For example, the earlier cultivator’s beastly nature was to take revenge on a senior sister who looked down on him.

Ning Wuxie pondered what his own beastly nature was while worrying about Meng Cangran.

Where had that guy gone?

He hoped he had not gone mad like the previous human; that would be disastrous.

Several humans headed toward the center of the demon domain, approaching the massive blood-red Bai Ze fetus.

Along the way, they encountered several mad cultivators, but with the cooperation of Ning Wuxie and Dantai Ying, both at Core Formation strength, they successfully subdued them all.

As a result, Ning Wuxie’s dantian gained several more strands of True Essence, trembling within the True Essence ring…

Red, blue, green, and purple; not a single color was the same, all trembling under Ning Wuxie’s True Essence.

Like tiger cubs driven from their den, they curled up together under the claws of a male tiger, waiting for death.

In the end, Ning Wuxie even forgot where these strands of True Essence had come from, leaving it to fate.

After all, after Bai Ze’s descent, most of these humans would not survive.

The closer they got to the Bai Ze fetus, the heavier the dense demonic energy became, and the ground became increasingly desolate.

Not only had the vitality of the grass and trees on the ground been drained, but even the soil had lost its color, turning gray and dark.

Bai Ze could descend at any moment, and Mo Xiang and his followers might have already discovered their presence.

It was essential to find Meng Cangran quickly and retreat!

“Ning Wuxie, what do you see ahead?”

While Ning Wuxie was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Dantai Ying’s somewhat terrified voice.

He looked up.

Humans, so many humans!

A large group of cultivators was gathered like zombies, frantically rushing into a cave, appearing to number in the dozens or even hundreds.

“Force him out, sacrifice him to the great Bai Ze!”

“We are all offerings to the great Bai Ze; no one can escape!”

“I want to meet the great Bai Ze! No human will dare to look down on me again!”

The frenzied roars echoed from this group of humans, rising and falling, sounding terrifying in an instant!

These were cultivators who had lost their sanity due to the influence of the demon domain.
