Seven days later.

“Celestial Dog Swallows the Moon Style!”

Li Shitou gaped at the moon, his throat rolling, imagining himself swallowing the moonlight.

With the special breathing cycle, his mind gradually sank into silence.

At some point, he heard the sound of his own blood flowing, the distant chirping of cicadas, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.

In this harmonious and peaceful scene, a sudden hissing noise sounded in his ear.

It was an indescribable piercing sound that made his blood churn, so nauseous that he wanted to vomit.

“What’s happening?”

Li Shitou woke up from his state of meditation: “Old man… why do I feel like I’m about to breakthrough with Qi perception and refine my True Qi, and then suddenly, I feel this churning feeling, like I might be possessed.”

“No big deal, you just don’t know how to adjust your state. You shouldn’t be listening to those noises.”

After hearing Li Shitou describe once again what happened during his breakthrough, Su Lu became certain, the world has been thoroughly polluted by the Abyss.

Even the so-called ‘nature’s spiritual energy, essence of sun and moon’ used by martial artists is mixed with a terrible pollution!

‘But it can’t be said that way either, power is power, regardless of its nature…. Ascend to become an immortal, or ascension to become a demon, either is a transformation of life, both can attain eternal life… But ascension in this world tends to lead you straight into the domain of Demons, the Abyss!’

This was the very scene Su Lu had been looking forward to, even at the cost of sealing himself, he was helping this silly lad to become immortal.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All of sudden, the intense bang noise shattered the tranquility of the whole village.

The lights in every household were suddenly ignited: “What happened?”

Li Shitou, trying to comfort his parents and siblings, picked up his iron knife and went out.

According to the village rules, once the night alarm is given, the members of the Village Protection Squad must gather in the threshing field.

When he arrived at the threshing ground, it was already surrounded by Village Protection Squad members with torches in their hands.

Wang Hu and the village chief stood together, with serious expressions: “Just now… a group of ‘Soul-binding Demons’ broke through the defense of the magic artifact and entered our village!”

“What?”

Li Shitou and the others were taken aback.

The village was guarded by a magic artifact, which would not be easily broken by demons, that’s common sense!

But now, even the perpetually safe village was finally disturbed?

“They kidnapped a lot of women, we must depart immediately to try and rescue them, or at least get some of them back.”

Wang Hu said: “This mission will be dangerous, everyone drink two large bowls of Talisman Water.”

Li Shitou stepped forward: “I’ll do it.”

Now he was a full-fledged Qi Refinement warrior, his resistance was already high, drinking these low-grade Talisman Water wasn’t of much use to him.

However, when Li Shitou got to the village entrance, he saw a middle-aged woman crying there: “My poor daughter!”

‘It’s Cuihua’s mother!’

His heart sank: ‘Old man, Cuihua was captured.’

‘I heard, if you want to save her, go, just be careful! Soul-binding Demons are easy to ally with other demons, or even attach themselves to some powerful demons, using kidnapped girls as sacrifices…’

There was a hint of helplessness in Su Lu’s voice.

“Quickly!”

Wang Hu took the lead, with Li Shitou close behind.

“Damn… it’s too dark.”

Wang Hu was holding a torch high, yelling: “Everyone split up and search!”

“Okay!”

Li Shitou chose a direction, and before long, he found footprints of some women. Those women were controlled and didn’t even wear shoes, leaving a trail of blood on the way, it looked extremely chilling.

“Chase!”

In such a situation, Li Shitou’s eyes were red with fury and he took off in pursuit.

Finally, after turning a corner, he saw several girls with listless expressions, and walking forward stiffly: “Old man!”

He shouted, completely forgetting the rule about speaking in his mind.

“Ah… the left one is on her head, the middle one is on her shoulder, the right one is the trickiest, hiding in her lower abdomen…”

Su Lu calmly directed.

“Kill!”

Li Shitou, with a sprint reminiscent of a scared dog, charged at the three women. His blade cut through the air above the head of the woman on the left.

Thud!

A sensation of hitting something came through.

The next moment, a bone-chilling cold traveled from his sword-bearing hand, up his arm and into his chest.

This was a counterattack from the Soul-binding Demon!

“Ahhh! I need to save them!”

Li Shitou struggled and roared, when suddenly a clear cracking sound came from his Dantian.

A thread-like energy revolved continuously around his Dantian, striking his shoulder, followed by his arm and finally his wrist!

Wherever this thread-like energy passed, the chilling coldness instantly receded.

“True Qi!”

“I’ve broken through and become a Qi Refinement warrior.”

Li Shitou was overjoyed. Following Su Lu’s guidance, he released a Qi blade and slayed another Soul-binding Demon. Then with a punch, he struck the last woman in the belly.

The three women fainted and collapsed. He checked them over: “Not Cuihua… No matter, I am now a Qi Refinement warrior.”

He chased after them, finding himself in front of a cave.

The gloomy cave seemed like the giant mouth of a beast, swallowing everything in the darkness.

“The bloody footprints lead inside…”

Li Shitou straightened his body, tightened his grip on the iron sword, his eyes seemingly ablaze with two flames.

“Sigh…”

Su Lu sighed, advising: “Don’t go inside… There is a very powerful demon inside, those Soul-binding Demons are controlled by it, dispatched to find food.”

“No, I have to go in. Cuihua is still inside.”

Li Shitou’s steps did not halt.

“You can come back later to get revenge for her…”

“What’s the point by then?”

Li Shitou walked into the cave, constantly moving further in along the path.

“Then you should know, I cannot interfere.” Su Lu sighed, “Survive this wave, and perhaps in the future, you could Ascend to Immortality!”

“I’m already a Qi Refinement warrior, I’m very strong.”

Li Shitou gave a brilliant smile and charged into the cave.

Within the darkness.

He saw…

Green ghost fires formed clusters, suspended around him, giving off a strange green light.

A number of virgins who had lost their souls bizarrely combined their bodies to form a giant mass of flesh.

This mass of flesh had numerous blood vessels pulsating on its surface, seemingly nurturing something within.

One of the faces caused Li Shitou’s eyes to crack: “Cuihua…”

He bellowed in rage and charged with his sword.

Thunk!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Blood splattered!

A tentacle that appeared out of nowhere, with a single whip, separated Li Shitou’s upper body from his lower, he fell to the ground, his eyes fixated on the mass of flesh.

“Damn… this account is wasted, time to create another one.”

A drop of water quickly disappeared.

Before leaving the cave, Su Lu paused and looked back.

His deep gaze pierced through the giant mass of flesh and landed on the baby-sized Giant Infant that was entwined in numerous blood vessels.

The moment he saw it, several pieces of information flashed through his mind:

“With special Qi methods, returning to the young, can one become like a baby?”

It was a ritual filled with a terrible, evil aura, using a large number of human sacrifices to achieve a transformation in the form of life and aim for an extended lifespan.
