Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#705 - When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous

In the dim and enclosed main hall, Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton were plotting in hushed tones a summoning ritual of unprecedented scale.

They planned to use a mysterious spell called "Evil Spirit Summoning" to tear through the boundaries of space and summon evil spirits from the deep Evil Spirit Realm to the bustling Human Realm.

This audacious plan aimed to allow the evil spirits to indulge in slaughter during their brief stay in the Human Realm, thereby collecting precious bloodstones—a valuable resource they could hardly attain in the Evil Spirit Realm.

In the Human Realm, evil spirits could not reside for long, but each round trip would bring them substantial rewards.

In contrast, life in the Evil Spirit Realm seemed both cruel and hopeless.

There, evil spirits had to kill each other to survive, which not only stunted their growth but also lacked any real meaning.

However, once they entered the Human Realm through the "Evil Spirit Summoning" ritual, everything would be completely different.

The abundant resources there would allow the evil spirits to rapidly increase their strength, and Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton would also reap immeasurable benefits.

To verify the feasibility of this idea, Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton decided to conduct a secret laboratory discussion, a small-scale experimental ritual.

As long as the experiment succeeded, they would have opened the path to the Human Realm, paving a brand-new path to survival for the Evil Spirit Realm.

At that time, Tian Ku's strength would undoubtedly increase greatly, and the evil spirits would also usher in a new era, an era full of opportunities and rewards.

However, just as they were about to sign the agreement after several rounds of negotiations, a sudden turn of events shattered all their plans.

Long Tianqi, a powerful and mysterious figure, suddenly appeared and launched a fierce siege against Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton.

His appearance not only plunged this carefully planned summoning ritual into crisis but also put Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton in a life-or-death situation.

In this sudden battle, Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton had to temporarily put aside their plans and fully respond to Long Tianqi's attacks.

Hermit Skeleton's anger erupted like a volcano, and he shouted sternly, "Gather the troops and destroy Long Tianqi first!

These heroic spirits have been rampaging and killing under the Evil Spirit Sword, yet they remain unyielding; today, we must make them pay the price!"

Following his command, the evil spirits seemed to respond to some kind of summons, rising from the depths of the earth, transforming into dense black mist, covering the sky and the sun, with a fierce momentum.

General Grimm led the evil spirit troops, fully armed and ready to set off.

Their steps were firm, their morale was high, and their murderous aura soared to the sky.

Tian Ku's eyes were bright, and his divine sense was like a net, instantly capturing Li Chengfeng's figure.

He gritted his teeth, his hatred soaring to the sky: "Damn Li Chengfeng, it's you again! You've ruined my plans time and time again; today, I will make you pay with blood!"

Hermit Skeleton sneered from the side, recognizing Li Chengfeng, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes: "He doesn't take the road to heaven, but throws himself into the path of the evil spirits.

Since he seeks his own death, then we will fulfill him, wipe them all out, and we will divide the benefits equally."

Tian Ku laughed loudly upon hearing this, his voice filled with triumph and anticipation: "Well said! I didn't expect that our first collaboration would encounter such an opportunity.

This Li Chengfeng is indeed not simple, with heaven-defying methods and deep fortune; he has even obtained the Power Inheritance of the Ancient Demon.

And I, who have been pursuing the Power Inheritance, have never been able to complete it.

If I can combine Law and Power into one, then I will be the true Ancient Demon, invincible!"

A gleam flashed in Hermit Skeleton's eyes upon hearing this: "If you become a true Ancient Demon, will you be able to summon more evil spirits to the Human Realm to fight for you? At that time, the entire Human Realm will submit to your feet!"

Greed and ambition flashed in Tian Ku's eyes, and he said confidently: "That's natural; as long as I can combine Law and Power, who in this world can match me?

The Demon Clan, the Evil Dragon Clan, and even the entire Human Realm will tremble at my feet.

I can freely travel within reincarnation, open up the path of reincarnation, and compete with the strong from the Hell Realm.

Even, I can use the great power of Law and Power combined to refine the true Supreme Divine Relic.

At that time, I will be able to shatter the void and go to other interfaces, arbitrarily burn, kill, and plunder, becoming the Lord of the Myriad Realms, unifying the heavens!"

Hermit Skeleton's eyes also became fiery, and he looked forward with bright eyes, as if he had already foreseen the glory of the future: "Well said! Leaving aside the others, I must make my old enemy Long Tianqi pay his blood debt.

And that Li Chengfeng must not be let go either.

Although he is weak, he dares to break into our territory; presumably, Long Tianqi is backing him. But this time, they are destined to escape!"

Tian Ku said with gritted teeth: "Never underestimate this little thief! Back then, he killed one of my clones, causing flaws in my cultivation technique, which led to my loss in a battle.

If he hadn't killed one of my clones last time, I wouldn't have lost the Power Inheritance; I would have already killed in all directions and achieved an unparalleled future. I must avenge this revenge myself!"

After saying that, Tian Ku began to cast a secret spell. With a wave of his hand, countless black mists erupted from his body, as if containing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

He shouted loudly: "Ancient Demon Whirlwind Kill!"

As he shouted, the surrounding earth instantly underwent earth-shaking changes.

Countless whirlwind blades, mixed with the roars of evil spirits, surged towards the direction where Li Chengfeng was, like a tide, as if to tear everything into pieces.

Li Chengfeng was already in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, making him exceptionally sensitive to the surrounding killing aura.

That aura that stirred the heavens and the earth instantly alerted him.

His divine sense was as vast as the sea, and he had already locked onto Tian Ku's location.

When his pupils shrank, he knew that he had encountered a difficult opponent today—the Law Inheritance of the Ancient Demon.

He quickly used the Great Prophecy Technique to deduce that the strength of the Law Inheritance of the Ancient Demon was indeed terrifyingly abnormal.

Over the past few decades, Li Chengfeng had not wasted his time; his strength was already vastly different from what it used to be, and he had cultivated many heretical techniques to cope with various challenges.

However, facing the collusion between Tian Ku and Hermit Skeleton, and the formation they used to summon evil spirits to fight, Li Chengfeng still felt unprecedented pressure.

He thought to himself, although the uncoded official Great Prophecy Technique could not be omniscient and omnipotent, it could always discover clues about the future.

If the crisis was severe, he had to retreat quickly; after all, the opponent had the advantage in numbers, and with the old ghost Tian Ku in charge, it would not be wise to fight head-on.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, Li Chengfeng did not choose to escape.

Through deduction, he discovered that he still had a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, his eyes were bright, as if he saw hope for the future.

If the opponent wanted to kill him, using the Ancient Demon's whirlwind to leave him with no way to escape, then why not use "Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing" to wait for an opportunity to counterattack?

So, Li Chengfeng made a decision.

He took a deep breath and began to cast his own unique secret technique, "Heaven and Earth Self-Sealing."

Around his body, an invisible barrier gradually formed, isolating him from the killing aura of the outside world.
