Chapter 748: Chapter 748: If You Don’t Succeed, You Die!

Hearing this, Lu Chen quickly looked towards the tip of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

Indeed, right at the very top, a Demon Pupil was still embedded!

However, this Demon Pupil was much smaller and seemed to be about the same size as the spear tip!

"Master," Earth Fire called out anxiously, "I can’t dissolve it!"

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear added, "The Ice-Strange Fire can’t refine it either!"

Lu Chen abruptly brought the Heavenly Inquiry Spear back in front of him, fixing his gaze on the Demon Pupil before activating the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique!

He wanted to see what was so mystical about this Demon Pupil, to find out why even two clumps of Earth Fire couldn’t do anything to it!

As he activated the Pupil Skill, the Nascent Soul within his Dantian suddenly opened its eyes, emitting a beam of black light from its lifeless pupils!

Like the breath of death, it shot straight towards Lu Chen’s eyes!

Woo——

In an instant, Lu Chen heard a gloomy and eerie wind by his ear, yet in reality, the sound was echoing inside his own mind!

Immediately afterward, Lu Chen’s eyes also projected the aura of death, which landed on the Demon Pupil!

In that moment, Lu Chen’s body trembled as he witnessed an incredibly unbelievable scene!

Before him, lights were ablaze in a bizarre manner, and the Demon Light continuously circulated.

Lu Chen knew that the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique was now seeing inside the Demon Pupil!

Clearly, this Demon Light was the core demonic power within the Demon Pupil and it was the main reason why neither Earth Fire nor Ice-Strange Fire could refine it!

"It seems a breakthrough is needed!"

Lu Chen continued to stare intently, quickly formulating a plan in his mind.

However, not long after, his body began to sense fatigue; the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique was too draining on the Nascent Soul!

He quickly ceased the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, but he had also understood the crux of the problem.

To refine this Demon Pupil, he must start from inside the Demon Pupil!

Earth Fire couldn’t burn its way into it, but the Ice-Strange Fire...

Lu Chen looked towards the spear tip and saw that it was precisely puncturing the Demon Pupil; the Ice-Strange Fire could follow it right into the Demon Pupil!

"Let’s give it a try!"

Lu Chen withdrew the Earth Fire, then took control of the Ice-Strange Fire from the spear’s spirit and began guiding the Ice-Strange Fire into the Demon Pupil from the tip of the spear!

A short while later, the Ice-Strange Fire completely merged into it, and Lu Chen instantly lost all sensation of the Ice-Strange Fire!

"Spear spirit, can you still sense the Ice-Strange Fire?" Lu Chen asked in a shock.

"Master, it seems like the Ice-Strange Fire is flowing along with those Demon Lights!"

Being connected to the Demon Pupil, the spear spirit naturally could feel it.

Lu Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief, then asked, "How is the situation?"

The spear spirit then said, "It seems there is nothing abnormal. The Ice-Strange Fire is refining the Demon Light, only..."

"Only what?"

"Only, I have a feeling that the Ice-Strange Fire seems to be refining the Demon Pupil into the tip of the spear!"

"What!"

Lu Chen was greatly alarmed; he wasn’t very knowledgeable about Artifact Refining, and if something unexpected happened with the Ice-Strange Fire’s action, he feared that even the Heavenly Inquiry Spear might be damaged!

Indeed, if the refining was successful, it would certainly elevate the Heavenly Inquiry Spear to another level.

But if it failed...

What Lu Chen would lose was not just a Spiritual Artifact but his very life!

If these three Nascent Soul Stage individuals realized they couldn’t handle the six ancient demons, Lu Chen was quite certain they would abandon him, or even severely injure him first to buy themselves time!

Considering this, Lu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air, but at the same moment, he made up his mind!

"If I don’t succeed, I’ll be a dead man..."

With resolution, Lu Chen raised his right hand and extended an index finger to stab into his own chest!

"Resentful Heaven Blood!"

Thwack!

As the flesh was pierced, a sound rang out instantly, and Lu Chen’s index finger plunged deeply into it!

This sight, seen by Qing Nan and the others, filled them with shock and incomprehension!

Although they didn’t know what was happening, they could tell that Lu Chen’s situation was extremely dire!

"Big Brother, that kid..."

Qing Jie was also utterly astounded.

"He might be using some secret technique, but," the glint in Qing Nan’s eyes became fearsome as he recalled Lu Chen’s mercifulless scolding, "let’s wait and see. If he doesn’t have a way, we’ll have to abandon him!"

Qing Wan bluntly said, "Since we’re going to leave him anyway, we might as well let him buy us some time!"

As they whispered among themselves, Lu Chen had already retracted his finger.

At the fingertip, a bead of blood hung suspended.

This was the Resentful Heaven Blood!

"With the aid of Resentful Heaven Blood, I refuse to believe I can’t refine it!"

Lu Chen’s face was ashen as he just dropped the Resentful Heaven Blood below the Demon Pupil. The next moment, the six demons suddenly let out a thunderous roar!

Subsequently, as if possessed, hatred appeared in their eyes, and they suddenly increased their speed on the ground, charging straight at them!
