"Get out of my way! Or I'll tear you to pieces too!"
The little white tiger's stance made the Three-Eyed Demon King, already furious to the extreme, even more enraged.
Heedless of everything else, he unleashed a torrent of terrifying Demon Power from his third eye. He would crush anyone who stood in his way!
"You're courting death!"
A cold light burst from the little white tiger's eyes, and a roar shook the nine heavens.
The roar carried not only a powerful, pulverizing force of sound, but also the power to shake the soul. Caught off guard, the Three-Eyed Demon King's soul shuddered violently, and his attack went astray.
At that very instant.
The little white tiger vanished from its spot.
In the next moment, it appeared above the Three-Eyed Demon King, dark golden light condensed to the utmost on its paw.
"Die!"
Squelch-!!!
There was no earth-shattering collision, only a faint sound.
The tiger's paw was like the sharpest weapon under heaven, easily piercing the protective Demon Gang the Three-Eyed Demon King had hastily gathered as though it were cutting through tofu. Its claws contained a streak of razor-sharp Sword Intent that instantly annihilated his tough demon king skull and even the Primordial Spirit in his sea of consciousness!
The rage and madness on the Three-Eyed Demon King's face froze in an instant. His body stiffened in midair, and the light in the vertical eye between his brows rapidly dimmed and went out.
Even in death, he could not believe that he, a mighty demon king whose name shook Yong Province, had died so easily.
The Three-Eyed Demon King now revealed his true form: a huge rat with a third eye between its brows, a legendary Three-Eyed Devil Rat.
"Hmph, and you think you're fit to call yourself a king?"
The little white tiger curled its lip in disdain. With a flicker, its entire body slipped into the void, as though it had merely swatted an annoying fly to death.
No one knew how much time had passed.
The world-destroying storm at the heart of the Devil-Trapping Mountain Range finally began to subside.
The tribulation clouds slowly dispersed, leaving the land in ruins.
Han Xuanji's figure slowly emerged.
He remained seated cross-legged on the ground, his white robes as pure as snow and untouched by dust.
His presence was harmonious and contained, having returned to its original simplicity.
Yet in his slowly opening eyes, there seemed to lie a vast universe, boundlessly deep, with the paths of the Great Dao's Principles flowing through them.
His every movement was in perfect harmony with heaven and earth, without the slightest hindrance.
Body Integration Realm, achieved!
He felt the unprecedented power within him.
His physical body and Primordial Spirit had fused into one, no longer distinct from each other.
At this realm, a Void Return cultivator's Primordial Spirit fused with the physical body. From then on, the cultivator's body also gained the properties of a Primordial Spirit. Not only did comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth become easier, but the cultivator's level of existence also began to advance, gaining a trace of the qualities of a higher life-form.
At this realm, a mere gesture could draw upon the power of the laws of heaven and earth, granting Law Techniques and Divine Abilities greater might. The Primordial Spirit would also become exceptionally resilient, making many Divine Abilities and Law Techniques aimed at it difficult to use effectively.
"The Integrated Body Realm really is different."
Han Xuanji swept his gaze over the ruined valley. During his Tribulation Transcendence, he had also sensed the little white tiger taking action.
He just didn't know who had dared to come courting death.
"Little White, did you deal with it?"
he asked calmly.
The little white tiger appeared in an instant and said, as though seeking credit:
"That blind Void Return demon king tried to charge over here, so I killed him!"
Han Xuanji nodded and paid it no mind.
He took one step and instantly appeared above the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, which had been reduced to a vast ruin.
Through the Void-Penetrating Divine Eye, he could see the collapsed mountain and the buried remains of countless members of the Demon Race... Everything showed that this place had just suffered a catastrophic calamity.
Han Xuanji did not linger on the remains. Now that he had reached the Integrated Body Realm, the Void-Penetrating Divine Eye was even more powerful. Unaffected by Yao Qi or Devil Qi, it quickly locked onto the depths of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
He wanted to find out where the Devil-Trapping Mountain Range's Devil Qi came from.
"Interesting."
Han Xuanji soon discovered a mysterious place deep underground that even his Body Integration Realm divine sense could not probe.
"What secrets could be hidden so deep down..."
A moment later.
Han Xuanji appeared deep underground.
There was no sign of Spiritual Qi here, only dense Devil Qi, which spread through the surroundings like thick ink, corroding everything around it.
"Tsk."
Han Xuanji sighed inwardly. Even at the Integrated Body Realm, he still felt a sense of discomfort.
The little white tiger looked even more miserable. It left a single sentence before abandoning its master and running away:
"Master, I'll wait for you up above."
Han Xuanji paid it no mind. Instead, he waved his hand and shut out the Devil Qi around him.
Soon, he found a stone stele ten meters tall.
Many inscriptions were carved into it. They not only contained an extremely powerful force, but also recorded some information.
"One day, a fissure appeared underground, connecting to the Devil Realm, and countless members of the Devil Race poured into the mortal world..."
"The world fell into chaos. Fortunately, the Devil-Suppressing Great Emperor emerged and led countless heroes to seal the passage with supreme might, separating the two realms..."
Han Xuanji soon understood the whole story.
"So that's it. Devil-Trapping-the devils it traps are those of an entire world."
Han Xuanji stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Nothing had been heard of the Devil Race in the Great Void Spirit Realm for many years, and they had gradually been forgotten. Only ancient texts in some major sects contained records of them. As it happened, Han Xuanji had also investigated information about the Devil Race before coming here.
The Devil Race was truly terrifying. No one knew where they came from; all that was known was that they possessed tremendous power and grew stronger through slaughter and devouring.
And the Heavenly Devils were rumored to be the supreme clan of the Devil Race, born with tremendous power comparable to that of immortals.
No wonder Devil Qi has kept appearing here. It seems the seal has loosened.
Han Xuanji thought silently.
However, after examining it carefully, he found that the seal was still holding firm. The person who had laid it down was more skilled in formations than he was, and their cultivation was far higher.
"There's no need to worry about the seal for now. It should hold for at least a thousand years."
Han Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Devil Race invaded, it would be a huge problem, and it would be difficult for him to continue cultivating in peace.
This devil-sealing land had existed for countless years. With such a long accumulation of time, could it also count as a place imbued with Dao resonance?
"System, sign in."
Han Xuanji spoke silently in his mind.
The system soon responded.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully signed in at the devil-sealing land and obtained the "Devil-Transforming Great Method."]
"The Devil-Transforming Great Method?"
With a thought, Han Xuanji quickly finished receiving the memories of the Cultivation Method transmitted by the system.
The so-called Devil-Transforming Great Method did not turn the user into a member of the Devil Race. Instead, it transformed Devil Qi for absorption.
"The person who invented this Cultivation Method was an absolute genius."
Han Xuanji marveled inwardly. This world truly had countless heaven's chosen.
The Cultivation Method was extraordinarily profound. As for the difficulty of cultivating it, it was not particularly high, comparable to an ordinary heaven-rank Cultivation Method. But creating it was probably far harder than creating a heaven-rank Cultivation Method from scratch.
"But with this, I can cultivate here and sign in."
Han Xuanji circulated the Devil-Transforming Great Method, and the dense Devil Qi immediately transformed into a mass of pure energy.
"Not bad."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly.
If he cultivated at this rate, it seemed the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was not far off, either.
