Novel Bin Chapter 21
Demon Subduing Tower.
As a forbidden area dedicated to suppressing Demons, the Demon Subduing Tower was divided into 9 Floors.
The 9 Floors were not on the surface, but were instead built underground.
The first three floors suppress Lower Realm Demons, the fourth to sixth floors suppress Middle Realm Demons, and the seventh to ninth floors suppress Upper Realm Demons.
Though in this era, the Demon Subduing Tower suppresses very few Upper Realm Demons.
At this moment, on the 2nd floor of the Tower, a man leaning in a corner suddenly opened his eyes. Within his eyes, flashed a scarlet and and tyrannical light.
“Hahahahaha!”
“This Ancestor has finally entered.”
The man looked at the other Demons in the Tower, and greed appeared in his eyes.
He is the famous Great Demon called Shi Xue.
Several years ago, he changed his face and deliberately let himself be caught by the Shaolin Temple, in order to infiltrate the Demon Subduing Tower.
Most Demonic Martial Artists devour the Life Essence of others in order to use it for themselves.
The Demon Shi Xue couldn’t be even more so.
Shi Xue’s Cultivation Technique devours other’s Life Essence and rapidly increases his own Cultivation Base.
The stronger the target is, the larger the gain in strength Shi Xue obtains.
Therefore, Shi Xue began to focus his attention on devouring other Martial Artists than ordinary people.
However, Martial Artists are naturally not fools. After experiencing the attacks of Shi Xue, they became vigilant and banded together against Shi Xue.
After a few losses, Shi Xue had to give up his idea.
But then, Shi Xue suddenly remembered that the Demon Subduing Tower of the Shaolin Temple was imprisoning numerous Demons.
These Demons would just rot their life away in prison until they die of old age!
After realizing this, Shi Xue suddenly thought of the idea that if he sneaked into the Demon Subduing Tower and devoured the Demons, wouldn’t his plan be foolproof?
Hence, Shi Xue began to plan on how to sneak into the Demon Subduing Tower.
Since the Shaolin Temple is a Great Sect, he definitely could not just enter directly.
His only way was to be actively caught by the Shaolin Temple and be imprisoned in the Tower.
To do this, Shi Xue needs to make sure of two things.
First, is that the Shaolin Temple cannot discover his identity.
Otherwise, an Upper Realm Monk would take the initiative to destroy Shi Xue’s Cultivation Base and his overall plan will fail.
The second, is to find a way to get in and out of the Demon Subduing Tower.
Shi Xue also needs to get out, otherwise what’s the use of devouring all the Demons if he can’t leave the Tower?
The first point was easy to do.
In the Demonic Path, there are many Secret Techniques that can alter one’s appearance.
And in order to be foolproof, Shi Xue hid his strength and pretended to be a Lower Realm Demon.
As for the second point…
Shi Xue discovered from an ancient book that every night of the full moon, the Demon Subduing Tower’s mechanism would reveal temporary holes.
After supplementing these two points, Shi Xue started his plan and was successfully detained in the 2nd floor of the Demon Subduing Tower.
“Hahahahaha.”
“Such delicious foods…”
Shi Xue licked his lips, as he set his sights towards the Demons on the 2nd floor of the Tower with greed.
Sou!
Shi Xue rushed forward and appeared in front of a Demon, then grabbed the Demon’s neck.
Haahhh!
Shi Xue took a deep breath.
And along with the look of horror on the Demon’s face, the Demon’s body withered at the speed visible by naked eye. Soon, the Demon turned into a corpse.
“You did not know how much this Ancestor had gone through just to get past those bald Shaolin Temple donkeys.”
“Now, it’s time to harvest.”
Shi Xue’s aura rose rapidly and spread towards all directions.
The Life Essence of the Demons on the 2nd floor were devoured one after another, before turning into corpses.
Not long after.
The other Demons finally noticed the abnormality and immediately moved away from Shi Xue.
“Not good.”
“Someone is devouring us!” An Elderly Demon roared.
“Demon Shi Xue?”
“Damn, how could he be on the 2nd floor?”
Countless Demons were surprised and angry, whilst expressing panic.
In their view and if things were actually normal, with the strength of Shi Xue, if he gets caught by the Shaolin Temple, he would be imprisoned in at least the 7th floor.
“Hahahaha.”
“Want to run? But can you really run away?”
“Hurry up and just fuse together with this Ancestor of yours.”
“This Ancestor still needs to proceed to the next floor, you know.”
Shi Xue looked at the fleeing Demons indifferently.
Since he put a lot of effort into this, he naturally was not only intending to devour the Demons on the floor he’s been put in, but also the other floors.
Shi Xue’s ultimate goal was the 9th floor.
…
…
Late night.
The bright moon hung high in the dark sky.
Su Qin sat cross-legged, taking in long breaths.
If there were any Upper Realm Martial Artists present, they would definitely be shocked to discover that with each inhalation by Su Qin, a large amount of the World’s Essence Qi flooded into his body.
For example, the World’s Essence Qi that Su Qin breathed in just one breath, is enough to make an ordinary Upper Realm Martial Artist explode.
Although an Upper Realm Martial Artist can also do this, they have to be light and gradual. Step by step, if you will. But Su Qin is on another level.
Even Grade 1 Great Grandmasters, if they saw Su Qin right now, would feel their scalps tingle.
The World’s Essence Qi is very dangerous. If such an endless amount of World’s Essence Qi goes into one’s body, even if one is a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster, with just a little carelessness, they will definitely be injured.
Once the body is damaged, especially by the World’s Essence Qi, it will cause never-ending trouble.
Hence, no Grade 1 Great Grandmaster dares to do this.
“[Invincible Vajra Divine Art] is indeed worthy of being one of the Shaolin Temple’s best Divine Arts.”
Su Qin opened his eyes and thought silently in his heart.
The Great Accomplishment of [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] allowed Su Qin to absorb the World’s Essence Qi unscrupulously, without worrying about any hidden dangers.
“If it was before, I would definitely think that [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] is perfect and without any defects.”
“But now, with the [Eyes of Truth] to observe myself, I can see the shortcomings of [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] at a glance…”
Su Qin sighed as he felt just how powerful the [Eyes of Truth] was.
The essence of [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] is the most firm Yang, and one is a stronghold that the opponents cannot overcome.
However, as in all things in the world, a lone Yin or Yang cannot prosper!
To truly realize extreme potential, Yin and Yang must be in harmony.
[Invincible Vajra Divine Art] is indeed very strong, as it is able to elevate the body to the level of an Upper Realm Martial Artist.
But it was too extreme, and if Su Qin wants to go a step further to achieve Arhat Buddhahood, he has to find another Yin Attribute Body Refining Cultivation Technique to balance with [Invincible Vajra Divine Art].
