Xing Chen fell into contemplation for a long time. This was probably the greatest opportunity he could get in his entire life, but a cautious person like him couldn't accept it at ease. He had to think about the pros and cons first.
Mo Ke didn't say anything and waited calmly. In his mind, Xing Chen and Lan Cao would never refuse such an opportunity. One had to know that even in the Divine Realm, only a handful of people possessed the Divine Emperor's talent.
Meanwhile, Lan Cao seemed to make up his mind already. He looked at Mo Ke and asked. "I have a curse on my body. Can this devil blood erase it?"
Mo Ke glanced at him and said disdainfully. "A curse? Heh. It is nothing but puny magic. Do you think the devil blood of the Devil Emperor is weak to the point it cannot handle this stupid thing?"
Lan Cao's eyes gleamed with excitement. He took a deep breath and said. "I am willing to accept it."
"Good choice. Trust me, you will understand it later how smart you are by making this decision." Mo Ke chuckled. He looked at Xing Chen and asked. "What about you?"
Xing Chen's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Mo Ke. "Since these people are your subordinates, you probably have a way to restrict them. If I guess correctly, I will become your minion once I merge with the devil blood."
Mo Ke's expression didn't change in the slightest. He smiled and said. "You're thinking too much. They all respected me because I was stronger than them. I have no ability to control them even if I want to."
Xing Chen didn't say anything. The golden cage appeared in his hand and shone brightly, releasing a powerful suppression over Mo Ke.
Mo Ke's illusory figure trembled violently. His expression changed as he was unable to move.
He glared at Xing Chen and asked. "What do you mean by this?"
"I don't like leaving a tiny possibility of danger behind. Before I absorb the devil blood, I have to make sure that you cannot do anything to me first." Xing Chen said calmly, and the golden cage in his hand abruptly expanded, surrounding everyone in the scene.
Mo Ke's expression darkened slightly. "It's because you have no idea what kind of the existence of the Devil Emperor is. Otherwise, you will fully believe me… I can tell you that there are no more than two hundred Divine Emperors in the Divine Realm and my Great Devil Realm. Do you think such a powerful character is easy to be controlled?"
"It's because I know that I have to make sure." Xing Chen said calmly. "Especially a Devil Emperor like you. I don't know what kind of tricks you have."
Mo Ke stared at Xing Chen for a while and said. "Fine. Do you want to start now? We have wasted too much time now."
Xing Chen glanced at Lan Cao and said. "Start with him first."
Mo Ke didn't say anything and waved his hand. All of a sudden, the devil corpses on the ground were gathered together before squeezing into a black lump of flesh, looking very scary.
In the next moment, a few droplets of jet-black blood gradually flew out of the lump, exuding a coercive aura that made Xing Chen and Lan Cao shudder involuntarily.
"Do as I said." Mo Ke said with a serious expression and sent a droplet of the devil blood into Lan Cao's body.
Buzz—
As a bizarre muffled ringing sound that was hard to describe resounded in the air, a dense and chaotic layer of dark mist suddenly burst out of Lan Cao's body.
His eyes were also releasing two incomparably gloomy black lights as if they had transformed into two dark abysses which would swallow up everything.
This was no ordinary blood, but the blood essence of a Devil Emperor that countless people yearned for.
Logically, if it were to directly enter the body of any other person, even if that person was a divine practitioner, they would be devoured and torn apart by the incomparably fearsome power of a Devil Emperor. Let alone a half-baked Divine Foundation Realm practitioner like Lan Cao.
However, with Mo Ke by his side, the chance of Lan Cao successfully merging with the devil blood was extremely high as the former had a way of controlling it.
"This devil blood will allow you to scale the heavens in a single step. The lower your profound strength in the profound way is, the more your body and profound vein will be refined and upgraded."
"So, merging with the devil blood during this period is the best time for you."
Mo Ke said while slowly controlling the devil blood along Lan Cao's profound vein.
Lan Cao's body violently convulsed in pain, and his face distorted. His entire body was drenched in sweat as the black mist around him grew thicker.
An hour later, the black mist that had been stirring agitatedly began to slowly disperse, and the black light released from his eyes faded together with it.
"You can only absorb ten percent of its power at most with your current strength. As for the rest, you can slowly refine it once you reach the Great Devil Realm." Mo Ke said and retracted his arm.
Lan Cao raised his hand slightly and clenched his, feeling the newly gained power. Besides his eyes that were completely black, he could feel an incomparable huge change to his senses and perception. His Spiritual Sense could now spread several times farther than before.
Moreover, his perception of the dark element was greatly enhanced. Earlier, he still shuddered upon looking at the droplets of the devil blood, but that feeling had completely disappeared now.
On the contrary, he felt extremely close to them, as if they were his relatives.
Xing Chen looked at Lan Cao in surprise. Before this, Lan Cao's strength had already reached an unprecedented height, but now it was even higher. Even his grandfather, Xing Tengfei, was far inferior to this.
Without a doubt, Lan Cao had just become the strongest person in the Azure World!
