Worlds Apart!
I don't know if it was because of the Book of Sealed Gods, but Zhao Rui realized that he was drawing fire spiritual energy from the Drought Demon's Heart today, and it seemed extraordinarily smooth.
The Drought Demon's Heart was the convergence of a thousand years of power from a thousand years of Drought Demons, and the fire spiritual power it contained was extremely refined and huge.
If in the past, Zhao Rui would have had to stop every time he drew in a portion of spiritual energy from the Drought Demon's Heart, lest the fire spiritual energy he drew in would be too large to be fully transformed and absorbed, and would instead burn his veins and dantian.
However, right now, the fire spiritual energy was constantly pouring into his body from the Drought Demon's Heart, yet he didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort.
Zhao Rui couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, not realizing that the Book of Sealed Gods would actually be of great help to him in the aspect of transforming spiritual energy as well!
If he was able to absorb all of the spiritual energy in the Drought Demon's Heart and transform it into his own True Qi, Zhao Rui felt that he might have a huge breakthrough in his cultivation of the Eight Desolate Immortal Slaughtering Technique and directly enter the late stage of God Refining!
If that was the case, he would have enough capital to go head-to-head with Qing Yuan Ping Cheng!
Zhao Rui hurriedly dismissed all distracting thoughts and began to meditatively absorb the fire spiritual energy from the Dryad Demon's Heart according to the method on the Eight Desolate Immortal Slaughtering Technique.
The scorching fire spiritual energy flowed through his meridians, and after running for seven weeks, it was eventually injected into his dantian and transformed into pure true qi.
The true qi flowed out of his dantian once again, repairing his meridians, bones, and muscles that had been heavily damaged during the battle.
Zhao Rui only felt that he was in the middle of a furnace, surrounded by blazing flames, yet he didn't feel hot, instead, his whole body had an indescribable comfort.
He forgot about everything and just greedily absorbed the fire spiritual energy contained in the drought demon's heart.
As Zhao Rui continued to absorb the spiritual energy, the fiery red light emanating from the Drought Demon's Heart became more and more dim, while the true qi within Zhao Rui's dantian became more and more powerful.
At this time, without Zhao Rui being aware of it, the Second Yuan Shen flew out from his dantian, transforming into a two-meter tall demonic form that stood quietly behind him.
The Second Yuan Shen's entire body was emitting a silver-colored glow, and it was getting brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.
After an unknown period of time, suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and the Drought Demon's Heart was split into four pieces.
All of the fire spiritual energy it contained had been drawn into Zhao Rui's body.
At the same time, the Second Primordial Spirit reunited with Zhao Rui's body, emitting an incomparably bright silver glow.
From afar, it looked like the incarnation of an ancient demon had descended back into the world!
Zhao Rui's heart was filled with joy, and he could clearly feel that his injuries, had completely healed themselves.
His body was filled with endless power, in his meridians, in his muscles, and in his bones, it was as if there was powerful true qi, flowing through them!
His hearing, his perception, was sharper and more powerful!
He had, before, been close to the top of the middle stage of God Refining, but had been unable to cross, the last threshold.
And now, with the help of the Book of Sealed Gods, after a long and grueling cultivation, he had finally broken through the shackles of the middle stage of Divine Refinement and reached the late stage of Divine Refinement!
As Zhao Rui was rejoicing, a sudden warning sign appeared in his heart, as if there was some sort of great danger that was rapidly approaching!
Zhao Rui fiercely opened his eyes, and his senses shot out from his brow like spreading water ripples, extending in all directions.
A familiar figure immediately appeared within his perception!
Surprisingly, it was Qingyuan Heisei!
Zhao Rui was first taken aback, wondering how Qingyuan Heisei could have discovered his position.
However, he quickly reacted to the fact that he had just inadvertently exuded a powerful spiritual energy while cultivating, attracting Qingyuan Pingsheng's attention!
If it was before, Zhao Rui would definitely choose to leave.
But now, his Eight Desolate Immortal Slaying Skill, which had been cultivated to the late stage of God Refining, already had enough strength to fight with Qing Yuan Ping Cheng!
Zhao Rui flew out from the balcony and rose all the way up to tens of thousands of meters in the air, then sat on top of the clouds and quietly waited for Qingyuan Pingsheng to arrive.
Zhao Rui didn't have to wait long, and soon enough, Qing Yuan Heisei flew to him in a furious manner.
Stopping a few hundred meters away from Zhao Rui, Qingyuan Heisei hovered in the air, warily sizing up Zhao Rui with a startled expression.
He simply couldn't believe that this silver-faced man in front of him could be the same person as the one he had encountered a dozen hours ago!
This was because the auras displayed by the two had been worlds apart!
He could completely disregard the former and kill or be killed by him, yet facing the current silver-faced man, he felt a great pressure!
Was this guy putting on airs, or had his strength really increased tremendously?
Seigen Heisei thought this in his heart, his face clouded over.
However, he quickly dismissed the latter thought.
Because, in his opinion, it was impossible for someone in the world to increase their strength, to such a level, overnight!
"Pretentious fellow!" Seigen Heisei snorted coldly, aiming the black longbow in his hand at Zhao Rui, "I let you escape by a fluke last time, but this kind of mistake won't happen a second time!"
As soon as his words fell, above the black longbow, a strange black light began to shine continuously.
Immediately afterward, countless Yellow Springs Corpse Mist arrows formed from black mist rained out from the longbow, heading straight for Zhao Rui.
For a time, the entire sky was densely packed with arrows, covering the sky.
The air-breaking sound made by the mist arrows filled the eardrums, making it almost impossible to hear anything else!
This time, Qingyuan Heisei had learned his lesson, and the moment he struck, he went all out, not wanting to give the silver-faced man any possible chance of escape!
Zhao Rui unhurriedly took out the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword and injected his true qi.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade emitted a low buzzing sound and fluttered around Zhao Rui like a butterfly, weaving a dark red mesh barrier.
All of the Corpse Mist Arrows that were shot at Zhao Rui were all blocked outside the barrier, causing no effect on Zhao Rui.
Seigen Heisei's face changed drastically!
He realized that his prediction, surprisingly, was completely wrong!
This silver-faced man, in a very short period of time, his strength had actually increased drastically! And it had been raised by an entire level!
"Dammit! How is this possible?"
The muscles on Seigen Heisei's face twitched, revealing a look of disbelief.
The strength had risen so quickly that it was terrifying!
Qingyuan Heisei felt an unprecedented threat.
The speed at which this silver-faced man was raising his strength was completely unconventional and beyond speculation!
If such an enemy was allowed to continue growing, it would be a great disaster for him, and even for the entire Shinto sect!
He must be removed!
Even at all costs, he must be removed!
Seigen Heisei stared at the silver-faced man dead on, thinking this in his heart.
He put away his contempt, his expression turned solemn, and his mouth began to chant a strange incantation.
Seigen Heisei was already prepared to throw his weight around and cast a forbidden incantation of the Shinto religion.
As a matter of fact, this incantation was something that he himself could not fully control, and even he himself could not be certain of the consequences that would result once it was cast.
However, he had no choice.
If he didn't use this forbidden spell, with his current power, he wouldn't be able to kill the terrifying opponent!
The entire sky darkened, the white clouds in the sky, dispersed, and thick black clouds, from all directions, like ten thousand horses galloping, surged over, obscuring the sunlight!
The wind was so fierce and whistling that it blew people to the point where they could barely levitate in the air.
The wind was very cloudy and cold, carrying a thick, fishy odor, as if it was blowing out of hell.
Zhao Rui's face became grave, he had already smelled danger from this wind.
He knew very well in his heart that Qingyuan Heisei was about to send out his strongest killing move.
Sure enough, his thoughts hadn't even dissipated from his mind.
Qingyuan Heisei roared furiously, and the light on his longbow flashed violently.
The fog arrow was like a meteor that had sharply crossed the sky and ran towards him like lightning!
Zhao Rui controlled his Bloodthirsty Demon Blade and was about to chop that fog arrow down...
Right at this moment, right at this moment, that fog arrow violently exploded, forming a huge Yellow Spring Gate!
Immediately afterward, countless various demonic creatures of strange shapes rushed out from the Gate of the Yellow Springs, hissing shrilly, and like a wild tide, they pounced towards Zhao Rui from all directions!
"What kind of demons are these?" Even though Zhao Rui had seen a lot, he couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment.
The demonic creatures that pounced on him were extremely ugly and secretive in shape, disgusting to see, and very different from the demons and devils of the Chinese cultivation world.
In the moment Zhao Rui was stunned, those demons had already hissed, pounced on him one after another, and surrounded Zhao Rui.
