The golden ball of light gradually dimmed. Han Zhao deactivated his transformation and his aura immediately dissipated.
He stretched out his right hand and curled his fingers into a claw. With a gentle suction, the Officiator’s body was sucked over.
“Indeed.’
Han Zhao’s true qi entered the Officiators body and discovered that there were divine patterns and Astral Qi in his body. He was a proper Seven Fiend Realm Martial Saint.
“It was the Eternal Life Society who swapped the Officiator of the Beast Soul
Division. ”
This Officiator’s third divine pattern was not filled with demon beasts at all, so it was definitely fake. There was no doubt about it.
Thinking of this, Han Zhao took advantage of the remaining time of the Three Spirits Unification to condense his mental power and turn it into threads that pierced into the Officiator’s brain.
He had stepped into the Divine Power Realm in the previous simulation and obtained some practical secret techniques through selecting his memories.
Among them was the Soul a.s.similation Technique, When the enemy lost the ability to resist and his mental power was stronger than the other party, he could directly absorb a portion of the other party’s memories through his mental power.
Han Zhao’s mental power had increased slightly after breaking through to the Five Fiend Realm. Moreover, he had used the Three Spirits Unification, and his body, mind, and other aspects had increased in all aspects.
This Officiator’s martial arts cultivation had clearly not reached the perfection of the Seven Fiend. His mental power had not been transformed into a divine sense and obtained a qualitative change. Therefore, after Han Zhao used the Soul a.s.similation Technique, he easily extracted his memories.
The memory was s.n.a.t.c.hed away, causing the Officiator to let out painful struggles and roars in his coma.
However, he was seriously injured and Han Zhao used his true qi and mental power to control his body and soul. He had no ability to resist.
As Han Zhao sorted out the large number of memories he had obtained, he immediately had a more intuitive understanding of the Eternal Life Society’s plan.
This person’s name was Su Changsheng. He was the second elder of the
Eternal Life Society. On the orders of the Supreme Elder of the Pseudo Divine Power Realm, Lin Ruohai, he had infiltrated the Beast Soul Division and pretended to be the Officiator. His goal was to kill the leader of the Heavenly
Wings Division, the Blood Mosquito. Then, he would bring the Blood Mosquito’s soul and inner core back to the Eternal Life Society and hand them to Lin Ruohai.
In addition, the Eternal Life Society wanted to use this operation to break up the Beast Soul Division and the Heavenly Wings Division. It wanted to worsen the conflict between the Magi and the demons so that the Eternal Life Society could dominate the Northern Region.
The Blood Mosquito’s innate ability could increase its strength by absorbing the blood essence of powerful creatures. Lin Ruohai wanted to use the Blood Mosquito’s ability to acc.u.mulate strength and wait for an opportunity to survive the Divine Power Tribulation.
The so-called Pseudo Divine Power Realm was to directly transcend the tribulation and use Martial Will to resist the last heavenly lightning, then cultivate a Pseudo Divine Power. However, this was still very risky. Only martial artists from a thousand years ago would choose this path.
The current Pseudo Divine Power Realm was that after a martial artist cultivated to the Perfected Seven Fiend Realm, they would transform their mental power into their divine sense and use their divine sense to absorb the power of heaven and earth to condense Dharma power. They would immediately disperse their cultivation and cultivate again after condensing a little Dharma power.
This way, while preserving his Dharma power, he would not attract the Divine Power Tribulation.
Generally speaking, after a Perfected Seven Fiend Martial Saint cultivated three times, the Dharma power they possessed could unleash a small portion of the strength of the Divine Power Realm, so they were called the Pseudo Divine Power Realm.
As for the Seven Fiend Martial Saint, he could disperse his cultivation and cultivate nine times at most. The Nine Revolution Pseudo Divine Power Realm could unleash 50% of the strength of the Divine Power Realm. If he went to the grotto-heaven world to transcend the tribulation now, he could minimize the risk.
Of course, the path to becoming a Six Revolution Pseudo Divine Power Realm expert was relatively rare. This was because apart from consuming a large amount of resources, it also required a long time.
The lifespan of a One Fiend Realm Martial Saint was 300 years. Every time he broke through a realm, he could increase his lifespan by 10 years. The Seven Fiend Martial Saint’s lifespan was about 370 years.
In addition to cultivating various Life Extension cultivation methods and consuming Life Extension Spirit Medicines, the theoretical lifespan of the Seven Fiend Martial Saint was 450 years.
Just cultivating to the Seven Fiend Realm was enough to stop more than 90% of the Martial Saints. Moreover, it would take more than ten years or even decades to cultivate again. The Nine Revolution Pseudo Divine Power Realm only existed in theory.
This was also why the moment the Longevity Technique was used in the reincarnation Hall, the various top experts went crazy.
Before a martial artist reached the Divine Power Realm, they would be at a disadvantage when facing descendants of divine weapon families and Bloodline Holders of spirit beasts of the same level.
However, after the Divine Power Realm, there would be a huge reversal.
To these Pseudo Divine Power Realm martial artists, thinking of a way to transcend the tribulation was the highest requirement. Even if they slowly cultivated the Nine Revolution Pseudo Divine Power Realm, as long as they could transcend the tribulation, they would be considered to have succeeded.
After all, those who could cultivate to the Martial Saint Realm were all geniuses among ordinary martial artists.
Compared to the divine weapon system and the spirit beast bloodline system, the lower limit was the lowest, but the upper limit was the highest.
Compared to revitalizing martial arts and saving mortals who were oppressed by the Divine Weapon Family, high-grade martial artists only wanted to become Divine Powers and step into the Great Dao of Longevity.
“If you want the Blood Mosquito, you have to be alive!” Han Zhao’s gaze turned cold.
In the simulation, the Eternal Life Society had killed him several times. It was a good opportunity to take revenge this time.
As for the benefits, he would take it as an apology.
After the Soul a.s.similation Technique ended, the Officiator woke up from his coma. However, his eyes had already lost their l.u.s.ter and he was in a daze.
“Heh… Heh…
Saliva mixed with blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
From the looks of it, his brain must be damaged.
“This Soul a.s.similation Technique is really domineering.” Han Zhao was a little speechless. Then, he circulated the Cultivation Absorption Technique to suck dry the true qi in the Officiator’s body.
He had broken through to the Five Fiend Realm about ten days ago and his realm had yet to completely stabilize.
Now that a Seven Fiend Realm Martial Saint had delivered himself to his door, it was a huge nourishment.
Even if it was only one-twentieth of true qi, blood qi, and fiendish qi after refinement, the deep foundation of the Seven Fiend Realm still shocked Han Zhao.
[Yin Fiend: 100%]
[Yang Fiend: 100%]
[Fire Fiend: 100%]
[Water Fiend: 100%]
[Lightning Fiend: 35%]
A moment later, Han Zhao refined the Officiator’s True Qi, blood qi, and fiendish qi. Originally, he had just broken through to the Five Fiendish Qi Realm. Now, the Lightning Fiendish Qi instantly reached 35%. Moreover, the fifth Heavenly Vein had formed.
“As expected of the Seven Fiend Martial Saint!”
Han Zhao distributed a portion of his true qi and blood qi to “Demon Flame” and “Vajra” and removed the state of Three Spirits Unification.
Han Zhao turned around and sent his mental power into the Sumeru Pouch left behind by the Officiator.
“The two of you haven’t left yet. You’re quite discerning.” Demon Flame looked at the red-robed woman and the middle-aged Confucian scholar standing on the spot and said with interest.
“Senior, how would I dare to be rash?” The woman in red bowed respectfully and lowered her head deeply. Although the person in front of her looked like a young man, he could easily kill the Beast Soul Division’s Officiator who was comparable to the Seven Fiend Realm. He was very likely an old monster at the Pseudo Divine Power Realm. Furthermore, only martial artists at this level could cultivate clone techniques.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar at the side also bowed and did not dare to look up.
“Cut the c.r.a.p! When you asked me for the Detoxification Pill previously, what did you promise me? Have you forgotten?” Demon Flame’s voice suddenly became low and old.
“Senior, your voice?” The woman in red raised her head and was a little surprised.
“Crack!” With the sound of bones rubbing, Demon Flame transformed into the appearance of the old Ding Xiu.
“Senior Ding?!” The woman in red was shocked. She did not expect that the alchemist back then was actually a Pseudo Divine Power Realm expert.
“When you exchanged for the Detoxification Pill back then, this cave abode became mine. It’s understandable if that person accidentally discovered this place just now, but since you came together, it means that you led the way!’ Demon Flame’s expression darkened.
“Senior, the two of us were coerced by the Officiator. If we didn’t bring him here, the two of us…” The middle-aged Confucian scholar hurriedly explained.
“Enough!” Demon Flame interrupted him.
“I hate people who go back on their word the most. Since you went back on your word, you have to return your life.”
Clang!
Demon Flame threw out a red short knife and it fell in front of the two of them.
“Are you going to die, or your husband?”
“Senior?!” The woman in red had a look of despair. What responded to her was Demon Flame’s cold and heartless gaze.
“I’m willing to take my husband’s place…”
Swoosh!
Before the woman in red could finish speaking, a middle-aged Confucian scholar appeared in front of her in a flash and grabbed the short knife on the ground.
“If you go back on your word, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost!” the middle-aged Confucian scholar said sternly. When he looked at the woman in red, his gaze instantly softened.
“Wan’er.”
“Pfft!” Blood splattered. The middle-aged Confucian scholar stabbed the short knife into his heart. He felt the blood quickly flow into the short knife and his body collapsed to the ground.
“Yongning! The woman in red was in despair as she scrambled to his side.
“Live well.” The middle-aged Confucian scholar’s face was filled with reluctance. He took a deep look at the woman in red and slowly closed his eyes, his aura rapidly declining.
The life force of a Martial Saint could not withstand the absorption of the
Severing Karma Saber, which had already become a high-grade Spirit Artifact.
“Senior.” Tears streamed down the red-robed woman’s face. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Demon Flame.
“If you want to take revenge on me, I’ll wait for you at any time,” Demon Flame said coldly.
The woman in red shook her head and said sadly, “It was us who didn’t keep our promise. We can’t blame anyone for this outcome. 1 only hope that Senior will take pity on us and bury us together. I will also wish Senior success in the Great Dao Divine Power in the netherworld!”
With that said, the woman in red pulled out the red short knife and stabbed it into her heart. Feeling the blood being swallowed by the short knife, she used the last of her strength to hug the middle-aged Confucian scholar’s body tightly and leaned her head against his chest.
“I hate loyal people the most!”
On her deathbed, the woman in red cursed.
Soon, she felt a warm current flowing into her body, as if her entire body was soaked in a hot spring.
At the same time, the blood that she had lost surged out of the short knife and returned to her body.
” Pfft! ”
When she opened her eyes again, she realized that the white-robed young man had pulled out the short knife and stabbed it into her husband’s heart. Gulp… Gulp…
A large amount of blood flowed back into the middle-aged Confucian scholar’s body.
After a while, his aura quickly recovered.
“Wan!er? Is this h.e.l.l? Fortunately, we didn’t separate!” The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at his wife, whose chest was stained with blood, and hugged her tightly.
“Yongning, we’re not dead. It’s Senior…” The woman in red hurriedly said.
Only then did the middle-aged Confucian scholar come back to his senses and look at Han Zhao beside Demon Flame in confusion.
“From today onwards, your lives are mine.”
Han Zhao said indifferently. Longevity True Qi continuously entered their bodies and took root in every meridian in their bodies.
Three days later.
A group of five people appeared on the sea to the west of the Northern Sand Islands.
Vajra disguised himself as the Officiator and returned to the Beast Soul Division according to Su Changshengs memories.
Han Zhao and Demon Flame watched him leave.
“Master, what should we do?”
At this moment, the red-robed woman behind Han Zhao, Liang Wan, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar, Zhu Yongning, said in unison.
“The two of you go back first and wait for my orders.” Han Zhao said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body transformed into a Five-Color Peac.o.c.k with a wingspan of more than six meters in a ball of five-colored light.
He reached out with his claws and grabbed Demon Flame, flying in the direction of the Demon G.o.d Island..
