Chapter 286: Uninvited Guest
Whoosh—
In an instant, Sima Qi's sword sliced through the Demon God's soul, cleaving it in two!
"No!!!"
A thunderous scream erupted at that moment.
The soul, split into two, began to disintegrate, transforming into energy and dissipating into the air, only to be absorbed by the sword.
[Killed Eight-Star Demon God, gained 800,000,000 Evolution Points!]
[Absorbed Eight-Star Demon God Blood Essence, gained 8,000 Energy Points]
[Absorbed Eight-Star Demon God Blood Essence, gained 8,000 Energy Points]
"Ah, what a rush!"
Seeing his evolution points instantly increase by eight hundred million, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel exhilarated.
But despite the surge, it was still far from enough.
He still needed several billion more to reach three hundred billion evolution points—only then could he learn the second skill.
Just thinking about it made him feel excited.
At this moment, the residual energy from the Demon God's body started to gather toward Ye Fan's sword.
Soon, the entire sword began to vibrate slightly.
Most of the absorbed energy transferred into Sima Qi's body.
Boom—
Sima Qi suddenly felt a massive surge of power flooding into his body, making him feel like he was about to explode from the overwhelming force!
It was a sensation of pure ecstasy!
Sima Qi descended to the ground, sitting cross-legged, and immediately began channeling his cultivation technique.
The powerful energy within him was quickly refined and absorbed.
At the same time, the Demon God's blood essence was also absorbed by the sword and then transferred to Sima Qi, replenishing the blood essence he had consumed earlier.
The [Bloodthirsty Frenzy] state was now lifted.
"This Demon God Domain seems to have plenty of such demon beasts."
"It feels like I can gather quite a few evolution points here," Ye Fan murmured as he observed the area.
Sima Qi continued cultivating, and time passed unknowingly. When he opened his eyes again, he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! I'm at the peak of the Eight-Star level—just one step away from advancing to Nine-Star!"
Sima Qi was visibly thrilled.
Once he broke through, his strength would increase tremendously!
With the power of this divine sword, he would undoubtedly become invincible among Nine-Star Martial Gods.
"Who knows, I might even become a God King."
The thought brought a smirk to Sima Qi's face.
A Nine-Star Martial God was the pinnacle of power.
"Sword Spirit, let's continue searching for powerful demons to kill!"
Sima Qi, holding the sword tightly, called out.
"Hmm, the stronger, the better," Ye Fan responded calmly, maintaining his aloof demeanor as a powerful sword spirit should.
Sima Qi nodded, gripping his sword as he ventured deeper into the Demon God Domain.
The Demon God Domain was vast, filled with countless demon beasts.
Roar—
Just as Sima Qi took a few steps forward, a deafening roar echoed through the area.
The ground began to tremble.
"Hmm? Something else has shown up?"
Ye Fan's curiosity was piqued.
Before long, a massive figure burst out of the earth.
It was a huge, pitch-black demon beast with blood-red eyes and rows of razor-sharp teeth.
"A mere Seven-Star demon dares to block my path?"
Sima Qi sneered at the beast lunging at him with its gaping maw, raising his sword and slashing downward in an instant.
Whoosh—
Sword energy erupted from the blade, shattering the demon's sharp teeth into pieces.
Roar—
The demon let out a pained howl as Sima Qi soared into the air, his sword glowing with immense power.
The energy coalesced into a massive sword shadow, which slashed down from the heavens!
Slash!
The enormous sword shadow cleaved the demon in two, splitting its body apart.
Boom—
A heavy thud echoed as the demon's body collapsed, black blood splattering everywhere.
"It seems only Eight-Star and higher Demon Gods have golden blood,"
Ye Fan noted, watching the demon's black blood spray into the air.
[Killed Seven-Star Demon Beast, gained 700,000,000 Evolution Points!]
[Absorbed Seven-Star Demon Beast Blood Essence, gained 7,000 Energy Points!]
[Absorbed Seven-Star Demon Beast Blood Essence, gained 7,000 Energy Points!]
With the demon slain, its body's energy dispersed into the air, only to be absorbed by Ye Fan's sword and largely transferred to Sima Qi.
Sima Qi closed his eyes, savoring the powerful energy flowing into his body.
Even the energy from a Seven-Star demon was potent.
Slaying these demons provided energy far more quickly than cultivating ever could!
It was intoxicating!
Sima Qi felt himself becoming addicted to this sensation.
With the divine sword in hand, his absorption and digestion of energy were incredibly fast.
After refining most of the energy, he continued deeper into the Demon God Domain.
Along the way, every demon that crossed his path was mercilessly slaughtered.
The vast amounts of energy from the slain demons continuously strengthened Sima Qi.
Days passed in this relentless massacre.
"Just one or two more Seven-Star demons, and I should be able to break through from Eight-Star to Nine-Star."
Walking across the blackened land, Sima Qi muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
The constant killing and the power it brought had become addictive.
With each kill, he grew stronger, far faster than through mere cultivation.
"Finally, I've found you."
Just as Sima Qi was about to move in a different direction, a voice suddenly rang out from the sky.
Who's there!?
Startled by the sudden voice, Sima Qi's pupils shrank.
He hadn't sensed anyone approaching at all.
The unexpected voice made him feel an immediate sense of danger.
