Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 442 - 195 Demon Power

What's going on?

This was Zhai Difeng's first thought.

Zhai Difeng did not feel any malice from the other party. Common sense dictated that if a person harbored the desire to kill a target, their attention would be focused on that target and their oppressive aura would change.

The flow of information would disturb the Spiritual Energy, which was a physical law of this world.

But this fellow suddenly made a killing move without a hint of murderous intent? This chilling Demon Power showed not the slightest fluctuation?

In this person's eyes, were killing others, swinging a sword, and everyday activities like eating, sleeping, and walking really of the same nature?

A truly exceptional and monstrous demon!

Sadly, he did not know that this surge of Demon Power did not originate from Wang Qi himself, but was a legacy left by the Demon Emperor and would not change with Wang Qi's own killing intent. On the contrary, Wang Qi's own insignificant presence was completely overshadowed by the Demon Power.

So quick!

This was Zhai Difeng's second thought.

No one could catch the movement of this age-old demon. They only saw a flash of a figure, a flash of Sword Light, and then his own hand...

My hand...

Only when Zhai Difeng saw an entire arm flying through the air did he realize he had been sliced by the opponent's hand.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The Golden Core Cultivator let out a scream of agony. The "old demon" raised the Heavy Sword, aiming to take off Zhai Difeng's head. Priest Li was the first to react, swinging his staff as if it were a long spear. Dark power turned into a blur of shadow, improbably rescuing Zhai Difeng at the last moment.

"Very fast, but power is scattered!" Priest Li shrieked, "The seal of a million years, the Physical Body of the Qi Cultivation Stage has caused his strength to plummet!"

"Kill him, take the Immortal Artifact!"

Wang Qi's rush was not along a three-dimensional path. Everyone present vaguely sensed his movement but could not see clearly how he moved, thus creating the illusion to everyone that he was extremely fast.

After all, for an Ancient Method Practitioner, Taiyu Skill and Space Taoism were far too advanced.

And the Virtual Spiritual Qi generated by the changed Space-Time Metric was regarded by these people as the result of the "old monster's" inability to control his power.

Tiny tentacles twined around the staff, and Priest Li wielded it, stabbing, thrusting, pressing, slashing. The black staff resembled a soaring snake, biting at the enemy from various cunning angles. The "old demon" hurriedly retreated but still couldn't avoid being hit by the staff repeatedly.

Priest Li was the last person Wang Qi, in his current state, wanted to confront. The armor's defensive capabilities were premised on the consumption of Negative Entropy Force, and without dispelling the armor after Holy Light and Holy Flame were depleted, he would die from Soul Steel burning. Priest Li's World-Purifying Power was a High Entropy Force, which would deplete his Holy Light exponentially.

On the other side, Priest Li also felt astonished. The "old demon's" speed was not fast—perhaps the previous acceleration was due to a secret technique and unsustainable—but now, even though he was clearly not moving quickly, why was it still so hard to strike him? At most, only one in every three thrusts would hit! It must be known that his spear technique was bestowed by a Divine Spirit, and among the Far Sea Practitioners, it was rare for anyone to match him in the proficiency of blade and spear!

Apart from the two refined Immortal Artifacts, Sage Zhi Long had left Wang Qi several Jade Slips, which contained the full inheritance of the Ancient Mathematicians. This included Sage Zhi Long's own famous spell "Arrow Unmoved." Originally, this spell was invented to allow one to cast spells while standing still. Once cast, the caster could no longer move. After combining this with the Wanfa Sect's subtle "One not One" technique and the simple Space Taoism to make a unique blend, an unexpected effect emerged.

Dodging!

Although bogged down by the heavy armor and lacking speed, his movement technique and Taoist Skill alone were enough to evade most attacks!

Witnessing Priest Li suppressing the old demon, the other Cultivators finally realized what was happening.

This ancient giant demon, worn down by the ravages of time, was no longer as formidable as it once was. Besides the remainant demon power and the terrifying killing methods of the Demon Clan, it no longer possessed a trace of strength!

A Golden Core Cultivator led the charge, glowing with a metallic sheen. "Iron Truth" Yan Xiong, a Body Refining Cultivator of great renown from the Far Sea, with a Physical Body honed to the extreme, capable of smashing Magical Artifacts with his bare fists! Disregarding the burning of Soul Steel, he landed a punch right in the belly of the old demon. The excruciating pain from the Soul Steel's burn signaled to him a successful hit! This was Fist Force that could pulverize through mountains. It could kill through armor, and since the youth possessed by the old demon was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, his Physical Body was surely weak...

However, the burning pain from the Soul Steel was deceiving his sense of touch. He didn't actually feel the impact of his punch; Wang Qi had dodged in the nick of time and then intentionally pressed against his fist.

Two more Cultivators joined the fray. The middle-aged female Cultivator, in the meantime, was healing Zhai Difeng, who had fallen injured. Four people surrounded Wang Qi and violently attacked. Two fists, two swords, plus a long spear created a frenzied Domain, shattering any object larger than the size of an egg that entered it. Yet, contrary to all expectation, the majority of the assaults were mysteriously dodged.

The Pseudo Personality's heart blazed with fury. His Consciousness stemmed from a mighty Demon Clan powerhouse from a million years ago, so he certainly didn't see himself as merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Now, discovering that he was being overpowered by mere Golden Core Cultivators, his rage was unstoppable. The Flame Engraving on his armor shone brighter, and the cracks expanded further: "You know nothing of true power!"

"Now, feel the Demon Power within me!"

Swinging his Heavy Sword in a full circle, a ring of fire erupted around Wang Qi. The two sword wielders and the brawling Yan Xiong couldn't get out of the way in time and were scorched by the fierce flames, their skin quickly showing burn marks. The three instantly retreated, but Wang Qi grabbed hold of Yan Xiong with his left hand, keeping him close to suffer the burn of the fierce fire. Yan Xiong, enduring the pain and remaining silent, raised his huge fists and hammered down on Wang Qi.

Since the two were in contact, spells such as "One not One" and "Arrow Unmoved" lost their effectiveness, and the force of every punch penetrated the Soul Steel Armor, striking Wang Qi. Even with the armor's protection, Wang Qi almost coughed up blood. Yet, under the Pseudo Personality's control, he laughed heartily and raised his right hand. Within the firm Hook Claw, a green Light Group hovered. He thrust the small Light Group into Yan Xiong's body.

As the Light Group penetrated, Yan Xiong's Mana was ignited spontaneously, obliterated. Meaningless Thermal Energy swept through his internal organs, causing him severe injury!

His Mana was burning! This was a Skill modified from the True Intent of the Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm, to burn another's Mana and damage their organs!

"Ahhh!" With the loss of his Protective Magic Power, Yan Xiong's body was charred to carbon. Wang Qi disdainfully threw down the nearly dead body: "Far too easy—who wants to be next?"

"Gulp"—some Ancient Method Practitioner swallowed nervously.

However, in his dream, Wang Qi was stamping his foot: "This idiot... he actually used the Heavenly Entropy Technique's Entropy Increase Skill! What a fool! The only reason we're able to go toe-to-toe with these Golden Core Cultivators is because the armor weakens their attacks. Using the Entropy Increase Skill will hinder the recovery of Negative Entropy Force and shorten the armor's duration!"

Why did I even create someone who uses the power of the Burning Legion... War Angel or Light Holy Temple, either would have been fine...

Is it really because that phrase "I've been sealed for ten thousand years" was just too fitting?

I admit it, I'm the idiot here, but the Illidan I created is even more of an idiot! When other people's Illidan are enhancing their cool factor, mine is accumulating demerits!
