Yan Zhe arrived half a month later.
Xiao Chen, who was in closed-door cultivation in the captain's quarters, studying the Dreamlike Mundane World Saber Technique, was suddenly brought out by Xiao Suo.
"What's so mysterious?"
Xiao Chen asked as he looked curiously at Xiao Suo. Xiao Suo was not such a wishy-washy person. There was definitely a reason behind this.
Xiao Suo muttered, "There are some changes to the ship. It seems like it is about to completely demonize."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression changed slightly. He immediately knew what Xiao Suo was talking about.
Actually, the Black Cutlass had been in the process of being demonized. The scarlet demonic fog permeated every part of the ship at every moment.
When the ship was first modified, the Ghost Elder had done something to it.
No matter how he modified it in the future, he could only upgrade it according to the framework set by the Spectral Elder. He would always use the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation as the center.
In the beginning, the changes weren't that big.
As time went on, Xiao Suo discovered some clues. Later on, Xiao Chen also discovered some clues.
The two of them had discussed it that day. Even if it was a demonic ship, as long as it was used properly, it didn't matter.
Now, the Black Cutlass was really going to turn into a demonic ship. Xiao Suo still had some misgivings.
The others did not dare to tell him, so they could only come to discuss it with Xiao Chen in secret.
Let me ask you something first. Does Yan Zhe know about the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation of the Black Cutlass?
Xiao Chen thought of something and looked at Xiao Suo.
Xiao Suo shook his head. "He doesn't know. He only appeared after the Yazi Beast Demon Soul exhausted its energy. Otherwise, I would not have handed him the Scarlet Blood War Banner so easily. "
Good!
Xiao Chen thought to himself. He had been worrying about not having enough trump cards to compete with Yan Zhe. It was good news that Yan Zhe did not know that the pirate ship had the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.
"Take me to the core control room. I want to see what's going on."
"Yes."
Xiao Suo nodded slightly and led Xiao Chen to the core control room.
The core control room was the core of the pirate ship. It was more important than the control room on the surface.
In fact, the control room on the surface was more accurately called a control room.
Only those with the Captain's Order could enter the core control room. Xiao Suo took out the Captain's Order and embedded it into the wall.
The secret door opened, and the small room was filled with many formations densely packed together.
At the center of the hundreds of formations was the core formation that maintained the hull of the ship, as well as various other formations with different functions. Like gears, they formed a slowly interlocking formation that appeared before the two of them.
In truth, this wasn't a real spell formation, but a projection of the numerous spell formations in the ship's core control room.
The function of the core control room was to allow them to connect with each other and form a perfect system.
The mysteries involved were related to the core secrets of the Pirate Alliance.
To this day, aside from the Pirate Alliance, no other power had been able to build a pirate ship.
"Big Brother, look, that blood-red formation is the projection of the Devil Soul Formation. The other formations have all been invaded by it and turned scarlet."
Even without Xiao Suo saying it, Xiao Chen could see it.
Originally, the array formation was of different colors, looking exceptionally gorgeous.
But now, they had all turned scarlet. At first glance, it was especially frightening.
Xiao Chen looked carefully and discovered that only the core formation remained, one-third of which had not been infected by the Demonic Qi.
However, it was only a matter of time. Something strange would happen in the next two or three days.
Xiao Suo said sullenly, "Right now, the Iron Horn Pirate Ship is leading the way. When it turns into a demonic ship, if there are any mysterious phenomena and the other party comes to investigate, it will be difficult to deal with."
Xiao Chen understood what Xiao Suo meant.
Right now, even a fool could tell that this Black Cutlass was extraordinary. That Senior Gui was a true expert.
The Black Cutlass would undergo a qualitative change, or rather, return to its true form.
Xiao Chen thought for a long time. Then, he suddenly looked at Xiao Suo and said, "You don't have to care about all this. I just want to ask you, do you have the courage to truly control this ship?"
"I …" Xiao Suo revealed a complicated expression, struggling and hesitating.
"Just do it. It is just the Demonic Dao. I am willing to walk this path. Just as Big Brother said, my heart will not change. I will still be me. "
After a while, Xiao Suo made up his mind. Then, he looked resolutely at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. He still saw fear and hesitation in Xiao Suo's eyes, as well as some grudges.
Xiao Suo still feared the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.
"Never mind. Let me do it."
"Big Brother." When Xiao Suo heard this, he felt relieved of a heavy burden. However, he also blamed himself.
"Don't blame yourself. My mental state is much stronger than yours. I am the most suitable person in the first place."
Xiao Chen smiled and patted Xiao Suo's shoulder. Then, he said softly, "However, this is your ship, after all. So, I have always left this opportunity for you. However, it looks like you have not reached the time to accept it yet. However, I am already there. I need to go to the tribulation point on the other side. "
Xiao Suo's mental state had not matured yet. However, Xiao Chen had to face a strong enemy like Yan Zhe.
Xiao Suo felt some warmth in his heart. However, he also felt even more guilty. He lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I disappointed Big Brother. I indeed do not have the courage to face the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation."
"It's fine. I also feel fearful about the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation. Old Luo never asks about it."
Xiao Chen smiled and consoled Xiao Suo. After making his decision, what Xiao Chen needed to do next was to merge his soul and essence blood with the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.
After that, this ship would become Xiao Chen's life pirate ship.
Xiao Chen would be able to bring out the Black Cutlass's might to its greatest extent, controlling it as he pleased. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be one with the ship.
However, he would also face the danger of falling into the Demonic Dao at any time, consigned to eternal damnation.
"I'll go now. Don't tell or startle the others."
Xiao Chen had always been decisive. If he waited for the Black Cutlass to completely demonify before holding the ceremony, it would be too late.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the Black Cutlass's lower deck, he faced the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation shrouded in blood mist again.
The formation plate hovered in the air at the center of the formation, giving off a faint light.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul carved on the formation plate already had five and a half pearls lit up. The Yazi Beast Demon Soul's strength already rivaled that of a peak late-stage Star Venerate.
Xiao Chen had once dripped a drop of essence blood into the formation.
After that, the Demon Soul immediately swallowed up some of his soul, completely losing control.
At that time, this had startled Xiao Chen for a long time.
The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation had already infiltrated the entire ship. Now, the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation before Xiao Chen was the true core of the Black Cutlass.
Merging with the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation was the same as merging with the Black Cutlass.
Standing at the edge of the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, Xiao Chen looked into the depths of the formation. Then, he took out a short saber and made a cut on his index finger.
Blood immediately flowed out.
Then, the blood dripped down drop by drop. When the first drop of blood landed in the formation, the calm blood mist immediately surged.
The calm blood mist began to boil in an instant, light overflowing in all directions.
Xiao Chen clearly felt that the azure-colored dragon seal in his Soul Pool, which represented his will of soul, had a small nick bitten out.
Intense pain came, and his complexion turned incredibly pale.
Unlike the previous time, Xiao Chen did not give up. He endured the intense pain, letting the blood drip down bit by bit.
Time passed quickly.
Drops of unremarkable essence blood gathered in the formation, turning into a puddle of pure blood water.
In the next moment, this puddle of pure blood water expanded in the vast formation.
It covered the pulsating scarlet light of the formation. Now, it expanded from one-third of the original area to half of the original area.
"Whoosh!"
Just at this moment, when Xiao Chen's essence blood covered half of the formation, a deep abyss roar came from the depths of the formation. This roar was startling and boundlessly strange.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul suddenly appeared from the depths of the formation.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul's cold, scarlet eyes looked at Xiao Chen emotionlessly, inspiring fear and horror in one's heart.
Fortunately, it was not Xiao Suo standing there. This gaze made even Xiao Chen feel like he could not stand stably.
However, there were still many chains piercing the Yazi Beast Demon Soul's body. The chains firmly locked the Yazi Beast Demon Soul in the formation, preventing it from stepping out of the formation and leaving this pirate ship.
Suddenly, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul leaped into the air, looking like it wanted to devour Xiao Chen.
However, the formless soul chains firmly restrained it, causing it to roar in unwillingness.
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul's entire body entered the half of the formation that Xiao Chen's essence blood covered.
The merging officially began.
However, Xiao Chen felt intense pain. He could no longer hold on and fainted.
