Chapter 442 - 255: The Great Buddha Temple Takes Action!
Su Que spread his five fingers like a fan, hovering over Eastern Prison’s forehead.
The Affiliated Demon Seed was like a ball lightning flickering with purple electricity, and leapt out from Eastern Prison’s glabella carrying Essence Qi!
At this very moment, Eastern Prison’s eyes widened, his face turned ashen, and his whole body’s skin shriveled down.
The Affiliated Demon Seed entered Su Que’s palm, moving along the meridians until it settled in his Dantian.
It merged with the Lifebound Demon Seed.
Instantly, Su Que felt a surge of energy within his body.
His spirit, flesh, meridians, bones, and so on, rapidly transformed under the nourishment of this energy.
The spirit grew more robust, the flesh became denser, the meridians tougher, and the bones more flexible...
He seemed to feel his spirit and bodily strength had suddenly leapt at that moment.
He glanced at his attributes.
Remaining lifespan: 3020
After absorbing Eastern Prison’s Essence Qi, he gained 202 years of life.
His lifespan had surpassed the 3000 mark.
Su Que glanced at Eastern Prison’s mummified corpse and sent out a dark purple Myriad Poison True Qi towards it.
The Myriad Poison True Qi enveloped Eastern Prison’s dried corpse.
Then, Su Que waved his hand.
The Myriad Poison True Qi rolled up and was retrieved back into his meridians.
The ground was left empty, with no sign of Eastern Prison’s corpse.
Su Que walked out of the cave, noticing it was already late, so he returned to the cave where treasures were hidden, changed into scholar’s robes, and headed back to Jiannan Prefecture.
...
In the Southern Domain, Luoxing Town, the torchlight illuminated the sky brightly.
Su Que’s body technique was extremely fast, while Li Xuanji and the others’ marching speed was much slower.
This morning, after Su Que left Jiannan Prefecture City, Li Xuanji also assembled an elite troop of the Heaven-Breaking Army, and ordered masters skilled in Lightweight Skill from the army to notify martial arts experts above the Late Stage of Meridian Opening Realm to proceed to Luoxing Town.
After Su Que took away Eastern Prison for a period of time, Li Xuanji and other Heaven-Breaking Army experts at Gang Condensing Realm finally arrived at Luoxing Town.
They headed straight for the Demon Alliance base in Luoxing Town, and upon arrival, saw remnants of the Demon Sect heading towards the place where Eastern Prison used to reside.
They found the training chamber’s stone door in Eastern Prison’s courtyard shattered, with a large hole in the wall.
The fake mountain and trees behind were also destroyed.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuanji thought it was possible that Eastern Prison, the Alliance Leader of the Demon Alliance, had been killed by Su Que.
The reason he wasn’t sure was that the object in his Dantian still existed.
He didn’t know whether Eastern Prison’s death would cause the object in his Dantian to disappear.
"Everyone!"
Li Xuanji collected himself, avoiding further thoughts on the matter, and then placed his hand on the black-handled, ancient-sheathed saber at his waist, loudly saying:
"Eastern Prison is dead, next, how about we, the Heaven-Breaking Army, lead you?"
Upon seeing Eastern Prison’s courtyard, Li Xuanji felt that even if Eastern Prison wasn’t dead, he must have been subdued by Su Que, thus contemplating bringing the Demon Alliance under his command.
The power disparity within the Demon Alliance was severe.
Although they had Eastern Prison, a master at the Peak of Divine Realm, the whole alliance only had Eastern Prison at this level of martial arts cultivation.
This was because Eastern Prison practiced Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique, stripping Essence Qi from some Demon Dao experts who had hopes to reach the Divine Realm, causing their deaths.
Now, with Eastern Prison dead, the highest martial arts cultivation in the Demon Alliance was the Late Stage of Gang Condensing Realm.
Li Xuanji was currently at the Middle Stage of Gang Condensation Realm, but having cultivated the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill, he could fight against the Late Stage of Gang Condensation Realm.
Additionally, in recent years, the Heaven-Breaking Army had recruited several experts.
Those accompanying him included three martial artists at the Gang Condensation Realm.
Thus, confident in his strength, he aimed to completely incorporate the Demon Alliance into his command.
The Demon Alliance consisted of Demon Sect leaders and demons, each essentially a shrewd person.
He knew that placating words wouldn’t work to win hearts.
So he spoke very frankly.
"Even if Eastern Prison is dead, as long as you’re under my Heaven-Breaking Army, I can still provide what Eastern Prison promised you."
"Once you help me seize the kingdom, the cultivation resources in the future won’t be lacking for you."
Li Xuanji continued to speak to the group of demons.
These demons, upon hearing of Eastern Prison’s death, were all surprised.
Immediately, they began to carefully observe Li Xuanji’s expression.
They saw that Li Xuanji’s expression was natural, not seeming to be lying.
However, they didn’t know who could kill Eastern Prison of such strength.
"Even if Eastern Prison is really dead, it’s not your turn to lead the Demon Alliance!"
Suddenly, a demon from the Demon Alliance spoke up.
He was Ji Ruchang, previously a remnant party from a major Demon Sect, "Polar Sect."
Currently, he is the leader of "Polar Sect," with martial arts cultivation at the Late Stage of Gang Condensation Realm, making him the strongest in Demon Alliance present.
"If not me, then who will lead!"
Li Xuanji said, suddenly drawing the treasure saber from his waist and swinging it towards Ji Ruchang!
He knew that without killing someone, the demons of the Demon Alliance wouldn’t submit.
His treasure saber was an exotic weapon, its blade black as night, emanating evil Qi.
He used the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill to slash out this blade.
The sword gang exploded on the blade, tearing through the air as it sliced toward Ji Ruchang.
Ji Ruchang saw Li Xuanji suddenly attack him, snorted coldly, immediately activated Demon Skills, and released an air wall-like Gang Qi with both palms, pushing it towards Li Xuanji.
