Chapter 721 - 710: Celestial Soldier and Demon

Roar!

From the depths of darkness, angry howls and fierce roars echo intermittently.

Ding Ling gathers energy in his eyes, employing a ’Bright Eyes Skill’ offered by his subordinates earlier, enabling him to see clearly up to a hundred meters even in the dark night.

Upon looking, he sees countless demons nearby glaring at him with fierce intentions.

The demons are clad in armor, humanoid in stature, wielding spears or swords.

Upon seeing Ding Ling, they begin probing attacks.

Ding Ling activates the Xuanyuan Heart Scripture, performs the Treasure Pearl Lotus Curse, and the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell.

In the next moment.

A Buddha Lotus appears beneath Ding Ling’s feet, adorned with dazzling treasure pearls, making Ding Ling look as if a Buddha descended to earth.

With each step he takes, lotus flowers bloom, causing the demon qi to retreat, and as he recites the ’Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell,’ waves of Buddha light ripple outward like surging water waves.

Wherever he passes.

Demon qi vanishes!

The demons retreat as if snow encountering warm sun, screaming in fear, those unable to retreat are directly transformed by the Buddha light, lamenting as they collapse to the ground.

"It works indeed."

Ding Ling breathes a sigh of relief.

Though the Demon Scripture can refine demon qi, it is hard to refine such a large amount of demon qi quickly.

After all, the Demon Scripture has a limit, preventing Ding Ling from falling into demon path, but if too much demon qi floods in and isn’t refined quickly, there is still a risk of Ding Ling succumbing to demonization.

Just like a person’s limited food capacity, force feeding beyond capability might be fatal.

Ding Ling realized relying on his own power alone, trying to refine massive and surging demon qi using a middle-tier Shattering level Demon Scripture, might be inadequate.

Now the beyond Shattering level magic and skills display unrivaled power, making Ding Ling delighted.

It’s because the demon qi purified by the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell becomes purer, transforming into Supreme Yin Qi, quickly absorbed and refined by the Demon Scripture.

Ding Ling proceeds forward.

Continuously activating Xuanyuan Heart Scripture, Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell, Treasure Pearl Lotus Curse to purify demons and demon qi;

While activating the Demon Scripture to absorb and refine the purified Supreme Yin Demonic Qi! This kind of demon qi is pure without sinister or ghostly forces, usable by Ding Ling.

Walking along.

Demons roar in anger and retreat.

Seemingly uncomfortable, panicked, and furious with Ding Ling’s arrival!

Ding Ling observes these demons.

Their armor and weaponry mostly have decayed, yet faintly visible are some inscriptions on the armor:

’Celestial Soldier 1103’

’Celestial Soldier 2039’

...

"All are Celestial Soldiers."

Ding Ling is moved, sweeping his gaze over countless demons, all similar armored humanoid fierce demons!

"It seems after an ancient battle, although the righteous side barely won, they almost collectively perished."

Ding Ling hasn’t had the chance to inquire the Yellow Emperor or the Great Sun Buddha about ancient matters.

He decides to ask Female Drought Demon once he leaves this Demon Realm.

Female Drought Demon must be well-aware of these events.

Nonetheless, he understands.

Even her undying and immortal fire zombies are nearly extinct. As the Zombie Ancestor of this world, Female Drought Demon herself is on the verge of death!

This signifies the ancient battle likely resulted in total annihilation.

And the corpses of those who perished, are scattered across realms.

Some vanished, decayed, or like Yinglong, turned into skeletons guarding places like Lingyun Cave;

And those who fell into the Demon Realm from the righteous side were certainly assimilated by demon qi!

Their bodies and corpses likely mutated, transforming into the demons before him.

"All heroes. Such a pity."

Ding Ling shows no mercy.

These are all demons.

The former Celestial Soldiers and Generals are gone; now they are demons. If released to the world, Jiuzhou would certainly be utterly doomed.

Simply because any random Celestial Soldier demon here is a Grandmaster-level expert!

Celestial General demons are Shattering-level! At a glance, all are masters!

Numerous, endless!

An ordinary person entering here.

Might directly be scared to death!

"Looks like True Qi needs to be used sparingly."

Ding Ling dispels protective spells like Treasure Pearl Lotus Curse, directly activating the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell, quickly advancing, one hand forming spell seals, purifying demons.

The other hand swiftly attaches, starting a frenzied absorption of demon qi from the demons.

[Inner Power Value +1]

[Inner Power Value +1]

...

The demon qi on a Grandmaster-level demon roughly amounts to 50 points.

Regarding purifying such demons.

Ding Ling’s Xuanyuan Heart Scripture combined with Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell is almost overwhelming.

Therefore.

Ding Ling’s Demon Scripture can smoothly absorb and refine all the demon qi from demons in one breath, swiftly purifying it and making it his own.

"Directly absorbing, then purifying the sinister demonic power within using the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell. This way, it’s more convenient for my refinement."

Ding Ling’s eyes slightly brighten.

Feeling this method’s speed might be faster.

Even though the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell can purify and subsequently, the Demon Scripture can absorb and refine, the speed isn’t very fast.

Yet directly absorbing a demon, then purifying it with the Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell, in an instant, turns the sinister, manic, bloodthirsty demon qi into Supreme Yin Demonic Qi.

Supreme Yin Demonic Qi maintains some characteristics of demon qi but is more harmonious, lacking bloodthirsty and violent traits.

"Very good."

Ding Ling immediately steps with Free-Will Ascension Step, forming seal techniques with his left hand, right hand occasionally approaching each demon.

Although these demons have the support of Demon Realm, moving extremely fast, under Ding Ling’s forty-fold amplified Free-Will Ascension Step, he moves swiftly as if flowing light, Shrunken Inches enables him to close in on a demon instantly, then applying the hand seal, Demon Scripture works to instantly absorb all demon qi from the opponent.

Great Sun Buddha Purifying World Spell immediately collaborates to purify.

The sinister demon qi absorbed within immediately eliminated of bloodthirsty and violent negative attributes, becoming pure and peaceful.

Such demon qi can almost instantly be refined by Ding Ling for personal use.

[Inner Power Value +60]

The recently absorbed was a Grandmaster Peak-level Celestial Soldier demon.

Contributed higher demon qi.

Ding Ling thus traverses among the demons.

[Inner Power Value +51]

[Inner Power Value +53]

[Inner Power Value +60]

...

Not long after.

[True Power Value: 91 points]

Ding Ling’s body slightly vibrates, a majestic aura sweeps in all directions, toppling countless demons.

Ding Ling breaks through again.

Reaching the Realm of Shattered Perfection!

At this stage.

With forty-fold amplified Free-Will Ascension Step, Ding Ling’s speed becomes so fast that ordinary demons can barely see him with the naked eye.

Reaching this point.

Ding Ling overwhelms Celestial Soldier demons even more!

But perhaps due to another breakthrough.

This time the Celestial Soldiers’ contribution of Inner Power Value decreased significantly, generally only about 25 points.
