Chapter 69: Pure Yang Blood Qi
Chapter 69: Pure Yang Blood Qi
The malevolent spirits are not invincible.
But not absolutely.
Thus.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but wonder if the reason they couldn't be killed was because the martial artists and spellcasters were still not powerful enough to truly slay them.
If their strength were sufficient, the legend of their invincibility would be shattered.
"So—"
"What level of power is needed to truly kill a malevolent spirit!?"
Gu Qingfeng mused.
He then untied the iron chains on the golden coffin.
Without the chains to restrain it, the golden coffin shook even more violently. The coffin lid hummed, and the previously airtight coffin began to show cracks, allowing a strange, icy cold aura to seep out.
In Gu Qingfeng's sight, dark shadows like a tide tried to flow out from the golden coffin.
"Buzz—"
The Exorcism Blade on his back trembled.
Gu Qingfeng's eyes turned cold, and he swiftly drew his long blade, chopping down with a surge of blood qi. The shadow was instantly severed, and the remaining part retreated back into the golden coffin as if in pain.
Immediately after.
Gu Qingfeng leaped onto the coffin lid and used all his strength to suppress it, preventing the shadow from breaking free.
At the same time.
He looked at the thumb-sized remnant of the shadow, which emitted a strange, icy cold aura. The remnant seemed to be growing stronger, showing no signs of weakening.
Seeing this, Gu Qingfeng used the tip of his blade to pick up the shadow remnant. The moment it touched his palm, a terrifying icy cold force swept through him, as if trying to freeze his blood completely.
Gu Qingfeng remained unperturbed, and the vast blood qi in his body surged, gathering in his palm like a blazing sun.
"Hisss—"
The two forces collided, producing a sound like water hitting a hot pan.
The icy cold force was terrifying, and no matter how strong Gu Qingfeng's blood qi was, it struggled to erode it.
As time passed.
Gu Qingfeng's blood qi was nearly depleted, and his face turned pale. When he looked at the shadow remnant in his palm, it seemed unchanged.
But Gu Qingfeng observed the remnant carefully throughout.
On the surface, the shadow remnant appeared unchanged, but upon closer inspection, its aura had weakened by about one percent.
"Enough!"
Gu Qingfeng stepped down from the coffin lid, opened a small gap, and threw the shadow remnant inside. He then quickly closed the lid and resealed it with the iron chains.
After completing this, Gu Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His face was pale from the excessive depletion of blood qi, but after a brief recovery, it regained some color.
Then.
A smile appeared on Gu Qingfeng's face.
"Indeed... the invincibility of malevolent spirits is a lie. They are not truly invincible because the strength of martial artists is not enough to eliminate them!"
The term "level" here.
Does not refer to the strength of individuals, but to the difference in life stages.
Clearly.
The life stage of malevolent spirits is higher.
Gu Qingfeng had almost exhausted half of his blood qi to erode the shadow remnant by about one percent. To completely eliminate the remnant, even if his strength were ten times greater, it would still be impossible.
However.
This was just the remnant of a shadow, no larger than a thumb.
If one wants to fully refine a true Shadow Fiend, even a hundred or a thousand times the power would be insufficient.
"Even if a Grandmaster is powerful, they wouldn't be much stronger than a Visceral Martial Artist. So, while the evil spirits may not be eradicated, it’s not an empty statement!"
"This world seems to thrive on martial arts, but it appears that the peak is likely at the Grandmaster level. Whether there are higher realms beyond Grandmaster is still up for debate."
"The first martial artists who allowed evil spirits to enter their bodies may have sought a way to solve the problem of evil spirits. Unfortunately, as history evolved, the role of sorcerers has changed."
"Evil spirits corrupt people, and the actions of sorcerers today are not much different from those of evil spirits."
"Perhaps the only difference is that evil spirits kill more people, while sorcerers kill fewer—"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly.
The same thought.
This world is already rotten to the core.
The havoc wreaked by evil spirits and the emergence of sorcerers have only exacerbated the decay of order and the collapse of morality.
After all, the evil spirits are not dead.
To suppress evil spirits, one must either seal them or allow them to enter the body.
It’s a vicious cycle.
Gu Qingfeng doesn’t have the power to change the world, but if there’s a chance to eliminate the evil spirits, it’s something he deeply desires.
"This world’s martial arts seem to revere Grandmasters."
"But I have an attribute panel, so a Grandmaster might not be the limit."
"As long as I have enough enhancement points, my strength can keep improving until I break through the barriers of life stages."
"By then, I might truly be able to eliminate the evil spirits—"
Gu Qingfeng had his plan.
With his current strength, he can’t eliminate the evil spirits.
Since he can’t eliminate them,
He will continue to enhance his strength.
If he can’t eliminate them as a Visceral Martial Artist, he will become a Grandmaster. If that’s not enough, he will break through to a realm beyond Grandmaster.
One day,
He will grow strong enough to eliminate the evil spirits.
—
Leaving the Demon Suppression Prison,
Gu Qingfeng’s life seemed to return to its usual routine.
It took him several days to recover from the depletion of blood and qi caused by the Shadow Fiend, using various tonics to fully restore himself.
After this experience, Gu Qingfeng temporarily gave up the idea of further depleting the Shadow Fiend.
Given the strength of evil spirits, even with a thousand years, it would be difficult for him, at the first stage of Visceral Martial Arts, to completely deplete a single evil spirit.
Moreover,
The Shadow Fiend is not particularly powerful among evil spirits.
Even if he spent his entire life eliminating one Shadow Fiend, it would be meaningless.
Therefore,
In Gu Qingfeng’s view, nothing is more useful than breaking through to a higher level of strength.
"Phew!"
The Great Sun Yang Qi entered his body.
Gu Qingfeng felt his blood and qi boiling, the yang energy in his flesh suddenly increasing significantly. The Azure Yang Art unconsciously broke through to the second level, entering the beginner stage.
...
Azure Yang Art (Second Level Beginner, Pure Yang Blood and Qi Level 1)
...
"Pure Yang Blood and Qi!"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at his attribute panel. When the Azure Yang Art broke through to the second level, his blood and qi underwent a subtle change, becoming even more yang and pure.
Gu Qingfeng understood.
This must be what is known as Pure Yang Blood and Qi.
At that moment,
Gu Qingfeng sensed something and looked outside the Gu Family Manor, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Someone’s coming!"
