Chapter 94: Demonic Means

  The demon cultivator's refined immortal soldier transformed into a human figure, and as soon as it appeared, it showed an extremely strong disgust towards Bai Qi. Bai Qi had calculated everything, but he hadn't expected this.

  The demon king slapped him with a loud slap, hitting the man who had transformed from the Six Desire Wheel on the face. The man was kicked out by the demon king and flew into the air. As he hovered in mid-air, the demon king slightly opened his fingers and grabbed him back, then kicked him again on the back of his spine.

  This kick made the man who had transformed from a celestial soldier spew out dark red earth fire from his seven orifices, his body arched upwards, his five fingers relaxed, and the strand of yin energy that he was pinching was released, flying back into Bai Qi's body. The yin energy recreated itself once more, and Bai Qi sent it back into Qing Lian. In an instant, the aura of the lotus flower healed the wound.

  The demon king threw the man to the ground and stepped on him with his foot. He lowered his head and asked, "Are you going to teach me how to do things?"

  The man's face was twisted in a scowl as he said in a harsh voice, "Yes, if you don't kill him, then don't think about me being of use to you."

  The demon king stepped on him, and flames burst out of the man's body several feet high.

  "A minor demon from the Xian Tian period, you also care about me? Trash. If you're not willing to do things for me, I'll dismantle you, it's better than facing you every day." The Demon King's attitude was extremely cold, without any pretenses towards the man.

  Bai Qi's mind was slightly at ease, and he immediately understood that the Demon Lord was refining a demonic Daoist soldier. If she listened to the soldier's intentions, she would slowly be controlled by it, turning the tables on her. He had overlooked this issue because his Reverse Scale Spear didn't have an instrument spirit. Even Orthodox Qi Refining Masters wouldn't dare let their instrument spirits act arbitrarily.

  The man transformed from the celestial soldier didn't say a word, but was actually intimidated by the lustful demon.

  He didn't speak, and the demon wasn't finished yet. In her hand, a short white bone suddenly appeared, and with great force, it stabbed into the man's lower abdomen.

  "Want to cultivate with me? You're not worthy!"

  The man let out a miserable cry, the Xianyuan's power contained in the white bones crushed his internal organs that had just taken shape. However, as a Xianbing, he could not transform at most and would not die.

  "You're just a fragment of memory from my previous immortal soldier; do you understand now? What is your identity?"

  The man cowered on the ground, his body strong but still reeling from the intense pain. However, the demonic pressure made him feel as if he was in hell, suffering an endless cycle of agony. Hell was a place below the underworld, specifically designed to punish the most malevolent spirits. The Avīci hell, where even immortals couldn't endure, was one such place.

  A demonic cultivator who had stolen the reincarnation fire of Avīci Hell, this man transformed from a celestial soldier deeply understood the terror of such power.

  In an instant, one can experience a hundred years of suffering.

  The majesty emanating from the Desire Devil made Bai Qi fearful, but since the attack wasn't directed at him, he was able to withstand it. Among his own Six Paths of Demon Fire, one of them was the Karma Fire, which allowed him to endure such power. At this point, he completely abandoned any thoughts of secretly attacking the Desire Devil. Even if the Desire Devil's limbs were severed and its meridians destroyed, as long as a single strand of its residual consciousness remained, it could still strike Bai Qi with devastating force, annihilating both his body and soul.

  Capable of relying on physical strength to fight against immortal soldiers, such power is only a wisp of sword energy transformed into a soldier, and the giant sword cannot be harmed.

  Seeing the fairy soldier surrender, Demon stopped beating him. She turned her head to Bai Qi and said: "Qing Mingzi, tell me, how did you steal that land's Yin pulse? If you deceive me, huh, you also see this waste. If you deceive me, I will seal you in his body and let him practice with you every day."

  "You make a vow that this immortal soldier will not harm me, and I dare to speak."

  The celestial soldier transformed into a man glared at Bai Qi with anger in his eyes. The demon simply said one sentence: "You come and make an oath."

  The man had no choice but to make a poisonous vow of the demonic path. Anyway, he didn't dare to lay hands on Bai Qi privately, as Yuemo forbade it.

  "Is this grand hall below the core of the Earthly Yin Meridian?" asked Bai Qi.

  "Not bad."

  "It's easy," said Bai Qi, taking out the Inverse Scale Spear and stabbing it into the ground. This time, the Inverse Scale Spear did not open its scales, behaving just like an ordinary Dao soldier, as if it were an inanimate object.

  Youmo saw the Inverse Scale Spear in Bai Qi's hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly. No wonder Bai Qi wanted him to make an oath, it turned out that he was afraid that Youmo would seize his weapon. Although this weapon is good, it is only a broken immortal artifact, its realm has fallen to the level of a Taoist instrument, re-refining it will require a huge amount of effort.

  The Inverse Scale Spear, in front of Yuemo, did not dare to show its unique state, but instead went crazy and spun into the underground of the Grand Temple. A strand of Bai Qi's divine sense was attached to the Inverse Scale Spear, observing the changes below.

  After the Inverse Scale Spear pierced into the ground, it encountered a hard rock. The hardness of this rock even surpassed that of the Inverse Scale Crystal.

  The dense evil energy at the bottom, the Inverse Scale Spear didn't absorb it, but instead desperately drilled downwards. The Desire Devil couldn't see through this either, after all, the Inverse Scale Spear didn't have a spirit, and in the hearts of all Qi Refiners, a weapon without a spirit was impossible to act on its own. Bai Qi's dark soul was attached to the Inverse Scale Spear, but the Desire Devil saw it clearly.

  The inverted scales spear continued downward, piercing through many places where the killing aura had already condensed into a river-like flow, and still refused to stop.

  Bai Qi saw a strange scene, the inverted scales spear pierced into a sea of flames with red and black stripes, and then lost his sense of the inverted scales spear. The sea of flames isolated the information transmitted back by the yin spirit, which was an extremely rare phenomenon.

  In the early stages of refining Qi, a cultivator can sense everything within several miles. Bai Qi's Yin Spirit is powerful, and even at a distance of hundreds of miles, as long as a strand of his Yin Spirit is attached to the Dao soldier, he will not lose his perception.

  This sea of fire is only about five miles deep. Even if an ordinary cultivator were to replace him, he would not be able to completely lose control over that wisp of dark energy.

  Beyond the sea of flames, Bai Qi saw countless fire snakes with double wings flying in the red and black flames. The earth fire had already formed a spiritual consciousness, and if this continued, even without the Six Ding Fumo Array, it would eventually give birth to a divine spirit. Those flying snakes had horns on their heads, and in the future, they might even evolve into dragons.

  Apart from the flying snake, there was also a dark purple-black tortoise in the fire, spitting out demonic pellets. Some of these pellets had already transformed into genuine golden pellets, and within their radiance, they carried an intense aura of evil energy.

  This place where the earth's evil energy and earthly fire converge, gave birth to the spiritual creature of turtle-snake. If not for the appearance of the Liuding Fumo Array, this place could have nurtured a powerful demon fairy. Once born, it would be of the Earth Immortal level.

  After the inverted scales spear entered the earth fire, there was no more movement. Not only was Bai Qi tense, but also the demon couldn't relax. Because this six Ding Fu Mo array is also absorbing her power to strengthen those six gods. Bai Qi can enter here because his body has no magic, and even a hint of Buddhist orthodoxy.

  If Bai Qi refines the Golden Elixir, his power will be somewhat dangerous and will also be detected by those divine spirits. Those divine spirits usually hide in the Earth Fire Yuan Tai to avoid dispersing their powers, and as long as the Devil of Desire does not move, they will not move either.

  Bai Qi's arrival gave the Desire Demon an idea to escape. If she continued here, her strength would not make any progress. The Earth Immortal was also mortal, and their lifespan had an end.

  The Inverse Scale Spear pierced downwards, to the depths of the earth fire, where even the Desire Devils did not dare to peek. There were even more powerful Turtle-Snake Demons, which were neatly absorbed into the spear body by the Inverse Scale Spear. The Turtle-Snake Demons did not transform into Azure Lightning Yuan, but instead turned into strands of transparent spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was the primordial Chaos Energy that nurtured the Innate Demons, and this Chaos Energy was far more advanced than the things condensed from the earth fire and the killing aura.

  In the palace, the man who had transformed into a six-desire knife wheel stared at Bai Qi with a ferocious gaze. He was secretly thinking of ways to kill this little demon without being punished by the Desire Devil. Just then, the entire grand hall began to shake.

  The demon king was overjoyed, and the You tribe's cultivator indeed managed to steal the Earthly Fiend's Yin Pulse, giving himself a chance to escape!

  After a brief hesitation, the demon's face turned solemn, and he reached out to plant 108 talisman seeds on Bai Qi's body. "I'm leaving," he said with a snort, "you're on your own now."

  As he spoke, the demon king took the Six Desire Wheel Knife and left the palace with a long body.

  Bai Qi had one hundred and eight talismans of the kind enter his body, and his body suddenly couldn't move half a step. He was filled with great hatred in his heart, but the demoness had left alone, having calculated the timing well, as the six divine spirits would first go to deal with the Inverse Scale Gun before they could detect her actions.

  These 108 talismans are not something that harms people, but a kind of immortal art. The demon king used powerful means to send the immortal art to Bai Qi, letting Bai Qi resist those six divine spirits for him.

  Yuemo is no match for those six gods, this immortal art can only make Bai Qi live for a moment longer.

  The six desire knife wheel looked at the demon's method, and his face looked much better. As he was about to leave, he glanced at Bai Qi with a pleased look, but saw that Bai Qi's face remained calm.

  Bai Qi knew that it was no use to hurry now. First, hide these 108 talismans, otherwise the gods would mistakenly think that he was a demon king reborn, and there would really be no chance of survival.

  He ruthlessly took out the remaining eight lotus seeds, dissolved them, and merged them into the one hundred and eight talisman seeds. The lotus seeds in Buddhism contain the power of great compassion, great wisdom, and great liberation. The dark and eerie aura in those one hundred and eight talisman seeds was diluted and dissolved by the lotus seeds, transforming from a black color to pure silver talisman seeds.

  Although Yu Mo was a golden cicada shedding its shell, she feared that Bai Qi would not be able to support it for even a moment. Among these 108 talisman seeds, not only did they not harm Bai Qi's physical body and yin spirit, but they could also strengthen and nourish his body. With a sweep of his yin spirit, Bai Qi understood the whole story.

  Those 108 talismans were actually from the Six Desires Heaven Demon Way's immortal technique - Six Desires Heaven Demon Slash.

  Moen Liu Yu, same as Dao Men, originated from the same source. It is life, death, ear, eye, mouth, and nose. The original intention of Moen Liu Yu's heavenly demon slaying is to instantly cut off one's own six desires, transforming all essence and spirit into a single, extremely sharp attack.

  Among the 108 kinds of Fu Lu seeds, there is a huge Xian Yuan left by Yuemo, which can support this Fu Lu seed to release six times of Xian Shu. After using it six times, if Bai Qi still wants to use this Fu Lu seed, he will not be able to do so. As a cultivator at his level, the only way for him to use Xian Shu again is to have all his essence and blood drained out, and his soul destroyed.

  Even if Bai Qi doesn't die in the future and achieves immortality through cultivation, using the Six Desires Heaven Demon Slasher will still easily lead him down the demonic path, making it hard for him to turn back.

  Of course, if Bai Qi is willing, he can now switch to cultivating the demonic path and at least cultivate to the realm of a terrestrial immortal. This is an extremely great temptation for any cultivator.
