Imperial Cultivation-Chapter 952 - 948: Soul Suppression

He closed his eyes, directly absorbing the memories to understand where the danger was coming from.

With the purification and transformation by the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree, he absorbed these memories without any contamination.

The two women watched him quietly.

After a moment, Chu Zhiyuan opened his eyes: "This Stone Seal is the Soul Suppressing Seal, it’s massively destructive."

He stepped forward to probe again, and drew the Soul Pearl into the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror.

Through the memory of this handsome young man, he learned about the origin and marvel of the Soul Suppressing Seal.

This is indeed a Demon Artifact, equivalent to the Spiritual Treasure of the Human Race.

Soul Suppressing Seal.

It directly affects a person’s Spiritual Power, their soul.

It can not only create illusions, but also use illusions to kill the opponent, or even directly erase the opponent’s soul.

Of course, this also requires consuming a huge amount of Spiritual Power.

This handsome young man is also a magical prodigy, achieving Heavenly Demon status at a young age, and had incredible luck to obtain this Demon Artifact.

After entering the Human World, he easily acquired the Demon Artifact sought by all the demons.

Unfortunately, his luck finally ran out when he encountered me.

Chu Zhiyuan thought about this and felt cautious.

He saw a shadow of himself in this Heavenly Demon; wasn’t he another version of this person, with good luck and comprehension?

But luck eventually runs out, and disaster strikes at the peak of success.

So be cautious; luck cannot be relied upon, and caution allows for survival through the ages.

Fu Zheng laughed: "No matter how destructive, there’s no chance to use it."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "He relied on the Soul Suppressing Seal, always wanting to use this seal, but your movement technique and swordsmanship are too fast, he ultimately couldn’t keep up."

If Fu Zheng’s movement and swordsmanship weren’t so quick, he would have already fallen into the trap.

Against the Demon Clan masters, he didn’t go for the kill; he only used the Soul Suppressing Seal to influence their senses, severely injuring them.

Against human experts, he would directly erase their souls or heavily injure their souls, and then make a move to kill them.

It must be said, taking him down so easily was the combined power of Fu Zheng and himself.

If it weren’t for Fu Zheng’s restraint, preventing him from activating the Soul Suppressing Seal, the Great Demon Suppressing Seal might not have been so easily successful.

Through his memories, he learned that the power of the Soul Suppressing Seal stems from spiritual power, different from True Yuan, capable of hindering the Great Demon Suppressing Seal somewhat.

Chu Zhiyuan thought about this, secretly feeling fortunate.

Li Yuzhen said softly: "Prince Consort, I’ll deal with the remaining Demon Clan masters."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Be careful."

"I’ll help you, Sister Li," Fu Zheng said hurriedly.

Li Yuzhen shook her head: "I’ll do it myself."

Her bright eyes shone, her killing intent surged.

Fu Zheng said: "Then I’ll assist you, Sister Li."

She hurriedly handed the Little Black Stone Seal to Chu Zhiyuan.

The two women left lightly, and in an instant disappeared into the abyss, starting the slaughter.

Chu Zhiyuan no longer paid attention, his gaze falling on the Stone Seal in his hand.

The heavily injured Demon Clan masters posed no threat to the two women.

Their Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique could not harm Li Yuzhen and Fu Zheng.

Once the Little Black Stone Seal was in his hand, a familiar feeling arose, naturally operating the Sacrificial Refining Method.

This was obtained from the handsome young man’s memories, already proficient.

Originally, refining was a process of integration, a process of mutual compatibility.

But after absorbing the handsome young man’s memories, refining the Soul Suppressing Seal was as easy as water running downhill.

After a few breaths, he was already intimately connected with the Soul Suppressing Seal.

Moving the Soul Suppressing Seal was effortless.

His spiritual power was vast like the sea, and the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror contained so many colorful lights, no need to worry about insufficient spiritual power.

The Soul Suppressing Seal’s most suitable owner was him, bringing out its powerful potential.

He placed the Soul Suppressing Seal back into the Silver Ring and turned his attention to the elegant-looking middle-aged man.

After snatching the Demon Artifact, the elegant middle-aged man placed it in a gray cloth bag, tied it casually to his waist, and didn’t hurriedly escape.

On the contrary, he walked leisurely, seemingly an ordinary passerby.

One by one, Demon Clan masters passed him, merely glancing and then shifting their gaze, continuing on their way.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled slightly.

If it weren’t for himself, this tactic would indeed work; there are many demons pursuing the handsome young man along this road, the elegant middle-aged man’s pace being ordinary and unnoticeable.

Suddenly, six Demon Clan masters ahead turned and looked observing.

They folded back and floated toward the elegant middle-aged man, surrounding him.

The elegant middle-aged man frowned in confusion as he looked at them.

"The Demon Artifact is with you, isn’t it?"

A handsome young man with a scar on his forehead sized him up, his gaze finally settling on the gray cloth bag at his waist, quickly shifting away but still searching him.

The other five were also uniquely handsome, each with their own charm, dazzling to behold.

The elegant middle-aged man asked puzzlingly: "Demon Artifact? What Demon Artifact? I’m pursuing that artifact too!"

"Stop pretending, it’s on you!" The handsome young man was half-skeptical, his gaze returning to the gray cloth bag at the man’s waist: "Is it here?"

He said this, reaching out to grab the gray cloth bag.

Chu Zhiyuan revealed a smile.

Heavenly Illusion Pavilion worked again.

Giving them a slight illusion, making them sense the Demon Artifact’s existence, sensing it hidden within the gray cloth bag.

This was already enough.

The elegant middle-aged man’s expression darkened slightly: "How dare you!"

"Oh, such arrogance!"

The handsome young man sneered, the scar on his forehead moved as if coming alive. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He turned to his companions: "Let’s go together, reclaim the Demon Artifact first, then decide how to divide it!"

"Alright!"

The five other handsome young men responded and lunged at the elegant middle-aged man.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

With muffled sounds, the six handsome young men were struck and flew away, spraying blood arrows into the air.

They stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it.

In no way had they expected the elegant middle-aged man to have such deep cultivation, unexpectedly being a top-tier Heavenly Demon!

"Who... exactly are you?" The scarred handsome young man landed on the ground with a "bam," unwillingly asking.

The elegant middle-aged man glanced at him casually, shook his head with disinterest, and floated away.

Chu Zhiyuan stood atop the tree, showing disappointment.

These Demon Clan masters were too incompetent, failing to reveal the true capabilities of the elegant middle-aged man.

The Demon Artifact was not yet refined, and unfined meant not deployable, and its power could not be unleashed.

Then why did it give him a strong sense of danger far exceeding the Soul Suppressing Seal’s?

Fu Zheng and Li Yuzhen floated back to his side.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let’s go, we should follow and see."

He could tell Li Yuzhen’s expression had become much calmer, relieved from previous gloominess.

Slaying those Demon Clan masters brought her some release.

He extended his arms, placing them on the two women’s shoulders, transforming into a wisp of light smoke moving forward.

The scenery ahead flashed by quickly, Fu Zheng asked: "Your Highness, what exactly is that Demon Artifact?"

Chu Zhiyuan replied: "I want to know too."

"Then why not just snatch it?" Fu Zheng asked: "They’re not killing each other."

She originally thought Chu Zhiyuan intended to use the Demon Artifact to incite infighting among the Demon Clan masters, weakening the Demon Clan.

But the demons weren’t fighting each other, this plan fell through, why not move in and seize the Demon Artifact?

Chu Zhiyuan straightforwardly explained the matter of the Demon Artifact’s danger.

"That dangerous?" Fu Zheng asked curiously: "Then why haven’t they encountered danger?"

Li Yuzhen furrowed her brows: "Is it because the Demon Artifact can distinguish between the Demon Clan and the Human Race?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Hard to say."

It’s impossible to rely on anyone to verify now—until now, no human expert has followed; only the demons are pursuing.

As they glided past those six Demon Clan masters.

Simultaneously, Chu Zhiyuan conjured six spectral figures appearing before them, pressing his right palm on their foreheads.

They didn’t have time to react, their eyes’ brilliance dimmed.

The Demon Suppressing Divine Tree absorbed their souls, while the Haoyang Demon-suppressing Mirror drew in their Soul Pearls.

The three continued their journey.

Constant attacks by Demon Clan masters besieged the elegant middle-aged man; his brows furrowed deeper as he looked down at the gray cloth bag.

He couldn’t help doubt whether this treasure to conceal presence was malfunctioning.

But hordes of Demon Clan masters couldn’t stop his steps, failing to seize the gray cloth bag.

Eventually reaching the narrow canyon with only a strip of sky.
