NOVPUBEvil Spirits are not dead.
But not absolutely.
Thus,
Gu Qingfeng could not help but suspect that the reason Evil Spirits couldn’t be killed might be because the strength of Martial Artists and Magicians was still not strong enough to truly slay the Evil Spirits.
If their power were strong enough, the so-called legend of immortality would be completely shattered.
"So—"
"What level of power is needed to truly kill an Evil Spirit!?"
Gu Qingfeng pondered.
He couldn’t help but undo the iron chains in the Golden Coffin.
With the constraint of the chains removed, the vibrations of the Golden Coffin grew more intense, the lid buzzing loudly, and slight cracks appeared on the originally seamless coffin, from which a sinister, chilly breath began to permeate.
In Gu Qingfeng’s view, dim shadows like the tide began to flow from the Golden Coffin.
"Buzz—"
The Evil Slayer Blade behind him trembled.
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes were cold and stern as he suddenly unsheathed the long blade behind him and slashed it at the shadow, enveloped with the power of Blood Qi. The shadow was instantly cut into a small segment, and the remaining shadow, as if in pain, instinctively retreated back into the Golden Coffin.
Subsequently,
Gu Qingfeng leaped onto the coffin lid, forcefully pressing down on the coffin to prevent the Shadow Demon from breaking free of its confines.
At the same time,
He looked at the remnant body of the Shadow Demon on the ground, about the size of a thumb, emitting a sinister and chilly aura, and seemingly growing gradually without any signs of disappearance.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng used the tip of his blade to lift the remnant body of the Shadow Demon, and the moment it fell into his palm, a horrifyingly cold power swept over him, as if wanting to completely freeze his blood.
Gu Qingfeng’s expression remained unchanged, and the tremendous Blood Qi Power within his body was fully activated at this moment, pooling like the proud sun in the palm of his hand.
"Chi—"
The two forces collided, creating a shrill noise like water hitting hot oil.
The chilling power was terrifyingly strong, and no matter how robust Gu Qingfeng’s Blood Qi was, he found it difficult to completely erode it.
As time passed,
Gu Qingfeng’s Blood Qi Power was nearly depleted, and his complexion also turned somewhat pale. Observing the remaining body of the Shadow Demon in his palm, there seemed to be no change.
But Gu Qingfeng had been carefully observing the changes in the Shadow Demon’s remains throughout.
On the surface, the Shadow Demon’s remains seemed unchanged, but a careful observer would discover that its aura was about one percent weaker than before.
"Almost there!"
Gu Qingfeng came down from the coffin lid, opened a slight gap, directly threw the remnant body of the Shadow Demon inside, then quickly sealed the lid again, and resecured it with the iron chains.
After completing all these, Gu Qingfeng finally let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, his complexion was slightly pale, a result of excessive depletion of Blood Qi.
Now having recovered slightly, his complexion appeared a bit more flush with color.
Immediately,
A smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng’s face.
"Indeed… the immortality of Evil Spirits is false, the reason they seem immortal is that the power at the Martial Artist level is not enough to completely erase them!"
The so-called level,
does not refer to the strength of each other, but to the gap in the life level.
Clearly,
the life level of Evil Spirits is higher.
Gu Qingfeng had just depleted nearly half of his Blood Qi, and had only managed to erode about one percent of the remnant body of the Shadow Demon. To completely erode that remnant body, even if his own power were to increase tenfold, it would not be enough.
However,
this was only a remnant body of the Shadow Demon, merely the size of a thumb.
If one were to truly refine a real Shadow Demon, not to mention ten times the power, even a hundred or a thousand times would be impossible.
"Even if the strength of a Master is strong, it could not be much stronger than that of a Refining Organ Martial Artist, so while Evil Spirits are not dead, it is not merely an empty phrase!"
"This world’s Martial Arts seem prevalent, but it looks like they are likely to stop at the Master level. Whether there are higher realms above a Master is also debatable."
"Perhaps the original practitioners of Refining Evil wanted to find a solution to the Evil Spirits, but, regrettably, as history evolved, the purpose of being a Magician has changed."
"Evil Spirits make people corrupt, and the so-called Magicians today, how are they any different from Evil Spirits?"
"At most, it’s just that the Evil Spirits kill more people, and the Magicians kill fewer—that’s all."
Gu Qingfeng slightly shook his head.
It’s still the same.
This world was already rotten to the core.
The calamities caused by Evil Spirits and the emergence of Magicians only contributed to the decay of order and the degradation of morals.
After all, Evil Spirits do not die.
To suppress an Evil Spirit, one must either seal it or practice Refining Evil.
It seemed like an endless cycle.
Gu Qingfeng did not have the power to change the world, but if there was an opportunity to eradicate Evil Spirits, that was his heart’s desire.
"In this world, it seems Masters are revered in Martial Arts."
"But I have the attribute panel; a Master isn’t necessarily the limit."
"As long as I have enough Upgrade Points, my strength can continually increase until I break the disparity in life levels."
"By then, perhaps I could really eradicate the Evil Spirits—"
Gu Qingfeng already had a plan in mind.
With his current strength, it wasn’t possible to eradicate the Evil Spirits.
Since they could not be eradicated.
Then he would continue to enhance his strength.
If Refining Organ couldn’t do it, then aiming for Master, and if Master wasn’t enough, then breaking beyond Master.
One day.
He would be able to grow strong enough to eradicate the Evil Spirits.
—
Leaving the Demon Suppression Prison.
Gu Qingfeng’s life seemed to return to normal.
To restore the depleted Blood Qi Power from battling the Shadow Demon, he spent several days consuming numerous tonic herbs to fully recover.
After this ordeal, Gu Qingfeng temporarily had no thoughts of continuing to wear down the Shadow Demon.
With the might of the Evil Spirits, even if he gave himself a thousand years, his First Realm Martial Arts Cultivation couldn’t possibly wear down an Evil Spirit completely.
Moreover.
The power of the Shadow Demon was not strong among the Evil Spirits.
Even if he really spent his whole life eradicating one Shadow Demon, it would be meaningless.
Therefore.
In Gu Qingfeng’s view, nothing was more useful than breaking through his own strength.
"Ho!"
Great Sun Yang Qi entered his body.
Gu Qingfeng only felt his Blood Qi boiling, and the Extreme Yang Qi within his flesh surged significantly, unknowingly breaking the Green Sun Skills to the second layer Beginner Realm.
…
Green Sun Skills (Second Layer Beginner, Pure Yang Qi Blood Level One)
…
"Pure Yang Qi Blood!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel. When the Green Sun Skills broke through to the second layer, his Blood Qi underwent subtle changes.
Such changes made his Blood Qi become more rigid and purely yang.
Gu Qingfeng understood.
This was probably what they called Pure Yang Qi Blood.
Just then.
Gu Qingfeng sensed something and looked towards the outside of Gu Family Manor, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"Someone is coming!"
