Chapter 116: Qin Wuyan’s Calculations
After integrating the Death Law into the Dao of Creation, Lu Xueqi made a brief perception and immediately discovered that her own attack power had increased significantly.
Soon after, she drew her right hand forward, and a qi blade shimmering with pitch-black light abruptly appeared.
This qi blade carried an intense aura of death, its power terrifying beyond compare, instantly slicing open the gray space ahead.
After comprehending the Death Law, Lu Xueqi no longer felt oppressed within this gray-black space. Instead, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This dim space seemed to have become her exclusive playground, and this change caused a trace of excitement to rise in her heart.
Moreover, as her comprehension of the Dao of Creation deepened, the benefits it brought to Lu Xueqi went far beyond this.
She lightly waved her right hand, and a tiny qi blade streaked across her arm, instantly leaving behind a wound.
Yet at the very moment the wound appeared, the Dao of Creation surged on its own, and the injury recovered instantly, as if the damage just now had merely been an illusion.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi nodded in satisfaction.
With her current level of comprehension of the Dao of Creation, ordinary injuries could already heal in an instant.
As long as the power within her body had not been completely exhausted, any injury could recover in the blink of an eye.
However, she also noticed that activating the Dao of Creation consumed an enormous amount of her own energy.
Under normal circumstances, before becoming an immortal, cultivators could only comprehend intent. Only after intent reached complete perfection would there be a slim chance of transforming it into a law. Comprehending the power of laws was something only beings at the immortal level could achieve.
Yet Lu Xueqi had comprehended a law while merely at the Supreme Purity Realm, fully demonstrating the terror of her Heaven-Defying Comprehension.
It was just that, with her current strength, the consumption required to activate a law was immense.
After sensing her own condition, Lu Xueqi did not linger any longer. She planned to venture deeper into the Dead Spirit Abyss, hunting more aberrant spirits to obtain black energy and continue comprehending the power of laws.
To ordinary people, these black energies would cause injury from the death aura the moment they came into contact with them, but to Lu Xueqi, who possessed heaven-defying talent, they were excellent cultivation nourishment.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi felt extremely close to this space. With a slight perception, she discovered a powerful aberrant spirit several hundred meters away, its aura far more formidable than the previous one.
Yet she felt no worry. With her current strength, no aberrant spirit could pose a threat to her.
Immediately after, her figure flashed as she flew straight toward that aberrant spirit.
At the same time, Qi Hao and the others also stepped into the Dead Spirit Abyss.
The moment they entered, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.
The black fog here was even denser, not only stripping away the vitality within their bodies but also severely suppressing their spiritual power.
With Qi Hao’s peak Ninth Level of Jade Purity Realm cultivation, his spiritual perception range within the Dead Spirit Abyss was actually less than three meters;
Even Fa Xiang, the strongest among them, could only extend his spiritual perception to five meters.
This situation greatly shocked the righteous path members and inevitably made them feel tense.
After all, with spiritual perception restricted, it was difficult to detect danger in advance, and their safety was greatly compromised.
After entering, Qi Hao searched around but did not see Lu Xueqi’s figure, and disappointment inevitably arose in his heart.
He knew very well that if they could travel together with Lu Xueqi, relying on her powerful strength, everyone’s safety would be much more assured.
Almost at the same time, Qin Wuyan led the Bloodsucking Old Demon, Elder Nian, and the other demonic path members into the Dead Spirit Abyss as well.
Elder Nian and the others had originally been unwilling to step into this place, but under the coercion of Qin Wuyan and the Bloodsucking Old Demon, they could only obey orders.
Although Ancestor Duanmu of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect had already been slain by Lu Xueqi, the deterrence of the Bloodsucking Old Demon still made them afraid to defy Qin Wuyan.
After the demonic path members entered the Dead Spirit Abyss, they too sensed something abnormal, and their expressions changed dramatically.
However, seeing Qi Hao and the others in the distance suffering the same predicament, they felt slightly more at ease.
When Qin Wuyan discovered that Qi Hao and the others had separated from Lu Xueqi, a calculating glint flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly transmitted his voice to the Bloodsucking Old Demon and Elder Nian:
“The righteous path people have been separated from Lu Xueqi of the Qingyun Sect. If there’s a chance later, we’ll ambush them and leave these people down in the Dead Spirit Abyss.”
The Bloodsucking Old Demon immediately nodded, obeying Qin Wuyan’s orders without question.
Elder Nian, however, hesitated somewhat. “Young Master Qin, didn’t we form an alliance with the righteous path earlier? Wouldn’t this be inappropriate?”
Qin Wuyan let out a cold laugh. “Elder Nian, how are you even a demonic cultivator? If we also followed alliances like the righteous path, could we still be called the demonic path?”
Elder Nian was left speechless by Qin Wuyan’s retort. He then immediately bowed and said, “Yes, Young Master Qin.”
The current situation left him with no leverage. No matter what Qin Wuyan said, he, Elder Nian, could only comply.
Although Elder Nian felt deep disdain for Qin Wuyan’s shameless conduct, Qin Wuyan’s words were like a sudden awakening, making him instantly understand why the Ten Thousand Poison Sect could become the number one sect of the demonic path—this way of doing things was indeed worth learning.
Afterward, Qin Wuyan and the others moved slightly farther away from Qi Hao and the others, hiding their figures as they planned to ambush once the righteous path members separated.
Their previous alliance with Lu Xueqi above had only been because their own side’s strength was slightly weaker.
Although they were also quite wary of the hidden black hand, as long as there was an opportunity, they still wanted to slaughter all these righteous path members here.
On the other side, after Fa Xiang and the others made a brief perception of their surroundings, they did not linger and immediately advanced toward the lower left.
Although this space was strange, no other dangers were sensed for the time being, which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, after flying forward for some time, Lu Xueqi finally saw another ghost.
This ghost was completely transparent, yet it was not humanoid but took the shape of a tiger. Clearly, it was a ghost formed after a ferocious tiger’s death.
The tiger ghost sensed Lu Xueqi’s presence the moment she arrived. It immediately rose in fury and let out a tiger’s roar.
The sound waves contained a dense killing aura, mixed with a powerful mental attack.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi had already comprehended the Death Law, and coupled with her powerful spiritual strength, this sonic attack had no effect on her at all, only causing her hair tips and hem to flutter slightly.
Lu Xueqi examined this ferocious tiger ghost and discovered that although it possessed intelligence, it was far inferior to the previous humanoid ghost. However, its strength was much greater.
After sensing it, Lu Xueqi was surprised to find that its strength was at least equivalent to the Eighth Level of the Jade Purity Realm, and its body length had reached seven to eight zhang.
While Lu Xueqi was observing it, the ferocious tiger ghost did not cease its attack.
When the tiger’s roar failed to repel the intruder, a vicious glint flashed in its eyes as it lunged toward Lu Xueqi like a tiger descending the mountain.
As its massive body moved, it stirred up a blood-red gale, crashing toward Lu Xueqi like a small mountain.
Facing the pouncing tiger ghost, Lu Xueqi’s gaze remained completely calm. She merely raised her hand and lightly pointed forward.
In an instant, a pitch-black beam of light appeared, shooting straight toward the ghost.
With a thunderous boom, a hollow instantly appeared in the head of the ghost that had been charging at Lu Xueqi.
After being struck by the black light, the glow in its eyes dissipated, and its massive body began to collapse, leaving behind only a wisp of black mist.
Looking at this even denser black mist, a flash of joy passed over Lu Xueqi’s face. With a wave of her right hand, she gathered it into her palm and began to comprehend it.
After finishing her comprehension, she did not feel the same surprise as when she had first comprehended the Death Law.
Although the death law aura within this wisp of black mist was denser and also gave her new insights into the Death Law,
Compared to the first wisp, there was still a great deal of overlap.
Though she felt a slight sense of disappointment, Lu Xueqi was overall still satisfied with this harvest.
