Chapter 224: Chapter 170: Humans, You Can’t Destroy Me (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
This celestial meeting tasked each Heavenly Person with a duty, all except for Li Qian.
It was clear that the purpose of summoning him to the meeting was probably to convey a message through him to the elder ancestor behind the scenes, hoping to pull the Divine Sword Sect in at a critical moment.
After all, it had been more than twenty years since the last time the elder ancestor made a move.
Over all these years, no one knew what had become of that elder ancestor, so the Heavenly Persons of the Divine Sword Sect were all without any assurance.
After the meeting dispersed, just as Li Qian was about to leave, Elder Qing Song suddenly approached him, smiling lightly as he asked, "Elder Li, how is that senior doing?"
"Very well."
Li Qian replied with a light laugh.
Elder Qing Song, hearing this, seemed as if he had taken a heart-calming pill.
As long as that elder ancestor existed, the Divine Sword Sect should be able to rest easily.
Night fell.
Li Qian silently left the Chen Bell Platform.
He planned to take a trip to Qinxin Island in Haizhou to check out the situation.
The demon disaster this time was highly unusual, and if he ignored it, it might lead to a great calamity.
So it was best to extinguish it at the source.
There was no choice, if things escalated, he would still have to step in.
Who else could handle it in the Human World, with him being the lone Martial Saint?
Upon reaching Qinxin Island, Li Qian sensed the presence of several Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials, including Daoist Lv from Zhenwu Temple.
This Daoist Lv was the donkey-riding old man he had encountered at Kunwu Road before.
Originally, he thought this old man might be a Martial Saint Level existence, but upon meeting again, Li Qian realised that Daoist Lv was only a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial.
At this moment, six Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials were gathered together, full of concern.
Although the higher-ups suspected it might be devils.
How to handle it next, no response had been forthcoming.
This was no longer within their capacity to handle.
Suddenly, an invisible will descended, shrouding them.
"Myriad Phenomena..."
The six felt the Heart Protecting Secret Talismans around their necks emitting faint light and immediately realised what was happening.
"Senior..."
They all became excited at once.
Meaning the mysterious Martial Saint senior had appeared.
"What’s the situation with this demon disaster?"
The aged voice of Li Qian echoed in the ears of the several Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials.
He did not show himself but communicated through Spiritual Sense.
"Senior, it might be devils this time, released by demon creatures..."
Daoist Lv hastily said.
"Devils?"
Li Qian was quite surprised in his heart, how did devils suddenly crop up again?
He knew very little about devils.
"Senior, here is some information about devils, please take a look."
With a wave of his hand, Daoist Lv sent out a Jade Scroll.
As soon as the Jade Scroll flew out, it was whisked away by an invisible force and disappeared from sight.
After Li Qian reviewed the information about devils in the Jade Scroll, his face revealed a serious expression.
Compared to demons, devils were the real disaster, a terrifying existence that even demons avoided.
Although the number of devils was quite rare, every appearance brought about a horrific wave of bloodshed, requiring a heavy price to eliminate.
And this elimination was only temporary because devils cannot be destroyed, merely disappearing for a while, only to inevitably return one day.
Devils lacked a specific form.
They are a very special kind of spiritual state energy body.
Therefore, to battle devils, mankind and even strong individuals from the Demon Race can only suppress and erode them using Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought...
As for True Qi, it’s of no use at all.
The most terrifying aspect is devils feeding and growing on the consciousness of living beings.
Only those who have reached the Myriad Phenomena level among Saint Level powerhouses possess resistance against devils.
Below Saint Level, even at the Heavenly Phenomenon Level, they can’t withstand the plundering and control of Devil Thought.
However, devils have one significant weakness; once formed, the main body is difficult to move, creating a Demon Domain within a fixed range, and controlling Demon Puppets to plunder from the outside.
But it is this very characteristic that makes devils hard to eliminate.
Likewise, if the devils abandon their main body, as long as one Demon Puppet survives, they can reform into the main body, achieving unceasing life.
"Cannot be eliminated, only suppressed?"
Li Qian frowned slightly.
This kind of suppression couldn’t be accomplished by a single Martial Saint – it required a large number of Martial Saints to suppress it over a long period, in order to finally erode the Devil Thought.
Moreover, while suppressing and eroding the Devil Thought, all Demon Puppets on the outside must also be eliminated completely in order to erode the Devil Thought completely, thus making the devil disappear temporarily.
But it’s only temporary, and perhaps after a long time, they might reappear at some period.
According to the Jade Scroll given by Daoist Lv, it mentioned that the devil on Qinxin Island may have originated from the Ancient Era, and after the main body’s Demon Domain had been destroyed, a single surviving Demon Puppet was captured and imprisoned by the Demon Race.
This time, it was released by a Demon Saint who had descended upon the Demon Race.
"These Demon Race are truly malicious, fully aware of the tremendous danger the devils pose, yet still risking so much to release them."
Li Qian pondered in his heart.
In fact, he was very puzzled as to why the Demon Race was so eager to break the barrier of the Human World?
Was it just to hunt the people of the Human World?
After so long since the Ancient Era, the Demon Race had been managing just fine on the outside, so why fixate on the Human World?
Like now, releasing the devils, if they lose control and the barrier of the Human World is broken, wouldn’t the Demon Race be afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves?
Li Qian looked at Qinxin City in the distance, shrouded in mist, potentially hiding a terrifying devil.
He did not rashly enter.
Knowing it was a demon, he had to be extremely cautious.
"Now, the only things I can rely on to confront a demon are the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent and the Chen Bell."
Li Qian assessed in his heart.
The Qi Blood Holy Realm, against formless demons, probably wouldn’t be very effective.
The Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, he was still only a junior Martial Saint, might be a bit strained.
But the Chen Bell was different.
When he was only a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial, in the face of Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought, he could use the Chen Bell to withstand it.
Therefore, he felt that the Chen Bell should be more effective in resisting Devil Thought than the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent.
Suddenly, a figure burst out from the mist at an astonishing speed.
Li Qian sensed that breath; it was very strange, like a fog, making it impossible to see through to the truth.
"Is it a Demon Puppet?"
His heart stirred, and immediately his Qi Blood Holy Realm covered down, enveloping the figure within it.
The figure revealed its form, a middle-aged man with eyes black as ink, his face covered with strange black patterns.
His lips were also black.
Li Qian only took one glance and felt a deep malevolence.
"My Qi Blood Holy Realm can suppress this Demon Puppet."
Li Qian’s spirit was uplifted.
This meant that although the Demon Puppet had lost its original consciousness after being controlled by the Devil Thought, it was still alive.
As long as it’s alive, it would be suppressed by his Qi Blood Holy Realm.
Suddenly, the Demon Puppet’s eyes erupted with terrifying black light, a strong Devil Thought sweeping towards Li Qian.
Li Qian’s Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent was shaken by this Devil Thought, nearly faltering.
Dong!
The sound of a bell rang out, steadying his Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, unmovable.
Instead, the Devil Thought was shattered by the sound of the bell.
Following that, Li Qian’s Qi Blood Holy Realm initiated Qi Blood Stripping, Qi Blood Spirit.
In the next moment, a mist of blood emerged, transformed into a shadow of blood, and then re-entered the body of the Demon Puppet.
However, the Devil Thought inside the Demon Puppet did not disperse; instead, it struggled with Li Qian for control of the body.
Li Qian did not hesitate to launch both the Chen Bell Attack and the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, bombarding the Demon Puppet’s body fiercely.
Accompanied by a scream.
Li Qian felt a bit dizzy in the head but quickly returned to normal. The Chen Bell in his mind vibrated slightly, protecting his Primordial Spirit well.
The Demon Puppet’s body flashed with blood and was completely brought under Li Qian’s control, turning into a true Blood Puppet.
"It seems that my Chen Bell does have a strong defense and suppression effect against Devil Thought."
Li Qian let out a sigh of relief.
The confrontation just now was only with the Devil Thought within a Demon Puppet, but it also counted as his first confrontation with a demon.
He had temporarily gained the upper hand.
Looking at the Blood Puppet in front of him, Li Qian did not sense strong Qi Blood; it should not be one of the crazed Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials but rather a Grandmaster Level Martial Artist from Qinxin City transformed.
The intensity of Qi Blood of a Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial should be far beyond this.
Under Li Qian’s control, the Blood Puppet quickly rushed into the mist.
Before long, he heard another scream through the Blood Puppet, and then he completely lost contact with the Blood Puppet.
Li Qian knew it was impossible to explore Qinxin City using the Blood Puppet; he could only enter Qinxin City himself.
After the confrontation just now, even if he couldn’t deal with the demon, he was confident that he could retreat unscathed.
Swoosh!
Li Qian entered into the mist.
In his senses, the Demon Formation in this Qinxin City also came from the Lion Camel Ridge Ten Directions Array Solution. Judging from the Array Formation Fluctuation, it was not considered too advanced.
With his current Array expertise, this Great Array didn’t pose a difficulty for him.
So he went deeper, his powerful Spiritual Sense detecting and sweeping through.
The city was full of corpses, presumably all residents of Qinxin City whose mental consciousness had been devoured by the demon.
Suddenly, a scream as if coming from deep underground echoed in Li Qian’s mind.
Dong dong dong...
The sound of the bell in his mind rang out, resisting the scream.
Li Qian’s complexion turned a bit pale.
Mainly because his Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent had been shaken, affecting him to some extent.
"What a formidable presence; had I not had the Chen Bell, relying solely on the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, I definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand the invasion of Devil Thought."
Li Qian was greatly alarmed.
No wonder those Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials were controlled by Devil Thought and turned into Demon Puppets...
"I want to see how the demon will deal with me."
Li Qian took a deep breath and continued forward.
All of a sudden, a figure in green clothes floated out from the mist ahead; she had an enchanting figure and radiated an unrivaled mesmerizing aura.
"You are very special, clearly just an ordinary Martial Saint, but you can resist my Devil Thought..."
The woman in green laughed lightly, speaking in a sweet and gentle tone.
Dong!
Li Qian didn’t respond at all and directly stimulated the Chen Bell in his mind, a formless bell sound sweeping out with the Qi Blood Holy Realm.
Instantly, this green-clothed woman’s body was transformed by Li Qian into a Blood Puppet, and the Devil Thought inside was expelled.
"Human, you cannot annihilate me."
Shadows of demons closed in from all around, each Demon Puppet’s voice sounded at the same time.
