Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 397 - 182: True Demon (2)
But it triumphs in quantity!
Fan Wubing’s blood bar skyrocketed crazily, and along with it, his soul strength grew stronger.
As the soul strength increased, it meant that the effects of various beneficial divine techniques and talents were enhanced. It meant the blood bar could rise faster.
This was a positive feedback loop.
The devouring speed became increasingly rapid!
Fifty trillion, fifty-five trillion, sixty trillion, seventy trillion...
And finally, the True Demon noticed something amiss. So much obsession was poured in, yet this person hadn’t become a Desire Furnace Cauldron!
...
He Youyi was enveloped in a halo of literary aura; once he entered the abyss of the Fallen Immortal Land, he felt his vitality constantly being eroded.
He waved his hand, scattering a few drops of ink. The ink danced like dragons and snakes, intertwining into articles that balanced offense and defense.
Every character in these articles carried immense power, embodying his lifelong cultivation and his insights into the Literary Dao.
The deeper he went, the more his brow furrowed.
Because the obsession he sensed grew stronger, and there were signs of them transforming into demons like the previous evil beast.
Demons are terrifying existences that are difficult to resolve.
They rely on "obsession" to exist, are hard to kill, and have immense destructive power. The obsession with becoming immortal is considered one of the strongest obsessions in the Cultivation Realm, from Qi Refining to Tribulation Immortals, all seek immortality.
He Youyi furrowed his brows, thinking to himself: "I must suppress it before it materializes! At the very least, I need to stall until Changsheng Continent is ready."
If this Fallen Immortal Land awakened just like this, demons would emerge, and Changsheng Continent would become a wasteland.
The demons incarnated from the "immortality obsession" have only one goal: to kill those with the "immortality obsession". They have no consciousness, cannot be communicated with, and cannot be controlled. Only by dissolving the obsession can they be vanquished.
Thinking of these, He Youyi felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
Finally, he once again encountered that True Demon. At this moment, it stood atop a massive light screen, and on the other side of the screen, there were countless crooked rainbows.
At the moment of seeing those rainbows, He Youyi’s face turned pale, and his breath nearly stilled, he couldn’t help but murmur:
"How... so many!"
Having been in and out of the Fallen Immortal Land, he knew well what those rainbows signified.
Obsession!
The obsession for immortality!
Even with a rough glance, He Youyi estimated there might be nearly ten billion strands of immortality obsession.
The True Demon was constantly devouring the obsessions.
He didn’t dare to imagine what kind of demon could be spawned by such a massive amount of obsession!
However, "Huh?"
He Youyi noticed something strange. That True Demon was clearly frantically devouring the obsessions of various cultivators, so why did it seem unchanged? Perhaps it was an illusion, but it even seemed to be getting weaker.
Ahead, the True Demon finally realized that the "furnace" within its body was a bottomless pit! In fact, it felt like it was the "furnace" for this person!
Although demons lack intelligence, they can subconsciously realize that the person within them is a monster. With billions of obsessions poured in, instead of turning into a demon, it grew stronger!
It roared in fury, the bloody runes on its body and the celestial marks left by Ancient Immortals writhed madly, trying to crush Fan Wubing within.
Fan Wubing sneered, "Fool, only noticing now!"
He struck forward fiercely, the Dao mechanism raged, instantly tearing open a huge opening in its abdomen. Then, executing the Dragon Walk, he exited its body, leaving behind a Dragon Form.
At the moment of departure, he detonated the clone.
What was the might of detonating a clone with ninety trillion blood?
It was Fan Wubing’s first time using it.
And He Youyi was fortunate to be the first witness. He saw Fan Wubing emerged from the True Demon’s abdomen, then a blinding point of light exploded on the True Demon into a half-zhang-wide light sphere. This light sphere rapidly contracted inward, and at the brink of disappearance, came the final explosion.
About twelve hundred years ago, a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm, during his insights into the Dao, was suddenly beset by demonic thoughts and experienced qi deviation. To avoid falling into becoming a Demon Cultivator, he chose to self-destruct, leaving his soul to reincarnate. The might of that explosion directly collapsed a mountain equivalent to one-tenth of an Eternal Night Snow Mountain.
However, even such might did not match the explosion before his eyes.
If it was merely mighty, He Youyi would not have been so shocked as to forget to breathe.
What truly surprised him was that such an explosive force could be controlled with such precision, concentrating all its power into a single point, without any leakage.
The space there had nearly been torn apart.
Without the Cosmic Dao, tearing space solely with power requires at least a level of a Tribulation Immortal.
"Mr. He, you’re here too!" The "instigator" Fan Wubing approached He Youyi with a smile.
He Youyi stared at him in a daze, "You are... Fan Wubing?"
Fan Wubing chuckled, "Come on, we just met half a year ago. You can’t recognize me now?"
He Youyi finally remembered to breathe, took a deep breath, and bit his tongue to make sure he wasn’t dreaming before quietly asking:
"What are you doing here?"
Fan Wubing briefly recounted what had happened.
He Youyi couldn’t help but say, "You were too reckless! To think you willingly entered the body of that True Demon!"
Fan Wubing smiled, "I didn’t think much at the time."
He Youyi said, "That True Demon probably wanted to turn you into a Desire Furnace Cauldron, using your body to continuously spawn other True Demons."
