God-Level Martial Spirits (2)

The Great Oni

Volume (1) Benoni Chapter (27)

After Li Fan made his decision, he chose to pass through the Buffalo Deity's trial.

Immediately after choosing, he fell asleep and lost consciousness.

When consciousness returned and he regained awareness, he noticed that he was kneeling on the ground and his hands were tied with rope.

Additionally, he saw a large bronze buffalo statue about two metres tall, and beneath it there was a big furnace that had not yet been lit.

He thought for a moment and roughly guessed.

It seemed that this time the torture method would be to put him into the buffalo statue and heat it with fire from outside.

Li Fan slightly clenched his teeth but still remained calm.

Li Fan calmly looked around once.

He was in a quite spacious stone cell, and the buffalo statue was roughly in the centre of the room.

Because Li Fan heard the prison door open, he turned to look.

Not long after, about four soldiers entered, seeming slightly drunk.

When Li Fan looked, he saw four tall fair-skinned European soldiers.

At that moment, suddenly, a roughly six-foot-tall European with a bushy beard kicked Li Fan.

"Bang."

Then, without any sign of stopping, he continued to kick the Li Fan lying on the ground.

"Die, damn slave, you dare look at me disrespectfully! Do you think you are of royal blood?" that soldier cursed while kicking Li Fan.

Li Fan did not make a single sound.

In truth, Li Fan's eyes unintentionally conveyed a look of slight contempt.

This was because he had lived as an Queen for over fifty years, and his original body was not different from a god.

He was actually a considerate young man who cared about other people.

However, his gaze unintentionally appeared condescending, and subconsciously he tended to think himself superior to others.

Because the soldier kicked without restraining his strength, Li Fan's ribs even broke.

"Humph, dog, you can endure pain quite well. We'll see if you can stay like this when the Buffalo King's fire tortures you," the soldier laughed and said, looking at Li Fan who didn't make a sound even though his ribs were broken.

"Take him away," the bushy-bearded man who seemed to be the leader ordered the other soldiers.

The other soldiers dragged Li Fan and shoved him into the bronze-coloured buffalo statue.

After that, they closed the small opening.

The buffalo statue was two metres tall and quite long, yet inside its belly Li Fan had to crouch, feeling cramped.

If the statue were heated from outside, the person inside would experience cruel torment.

Li Fan, feeling desperate, tried to bite off his tongue, but the system appeared.

[Do not attempt to Cheat, Host.]

Li Fan gave a slight smile and only braced himself to firmly endure the coming torture.

"Light the fire," the bearded leader flicked his cigar and gave the order.

Before long the fire burned fiercely, heating the big buffalo statue.

Li Fan felt warmth at the places where his body touched the statue.

Soon those areas would become scorching and cause him great suffering, Li Fan knew.

Not long after, the buffalo statue heated up blisteringly, and the spots where he touched became burning hot.

Even touching the rim of a pot of hot water briefly makes tears flow because it is too hot, doesn't it?

Li Fan's current situation was far worse.

His entire back was burning and continued to burn.

His hands and feet had reddened like fire bricks.

"Huuu," Li Fan groaned from the pain.

The air inside the buffalo statue became extremely hot as well, and every breath made Li Fan's lungs burn.

It wasn't only the outside heat causing distress; the heat inside his chest was also excessive, and Li Fan experienced cruel suffering.

Even someone like him who could endure pain quite well was now groaning and screaming.

But unlike before, he no longer cried like "Mother save me, Father save me."

The entire outer layer of his skin had melted, and he currently resembled a big lump of burning charcoal.

Being burned alive outright would cause death within a few minutes, but the slow roasting torture Li Fan was enduring would last at least about one hour.

Even after an hour he would not die, but would lose consciousness from extreme pain.

Fortunately, Li Fan also fainted after about an hour, thus avoiding having to continue experiencing this hell.

When Li Fan's eyes opened again, he was back in his room.

[God-rank Martial Spirit original lifeform has been obtained.]

[Original lifeform – a god-rank Martial Spirit; it is a bloodline-type Martial Spirit.]

As the system interface appeared, Li Fan entered a state of receiving inheritance.

When receiving the inheritance of the normal-rank Martial Spirit Faradagger, it had required only one hundredth of a second.

However, because the inheritance obtained from a god-rank Martial Spirit was extremely vast, even Li Fan, who possessed a god-level intecl, took about two minutes.

When Li Fan regained awareness, he sighed once and got up from the bed.

Outside, the sun was just rising; it was around five in the morning.

From the god-rank Martial Spirit original lifeform inheritance, he obtained not only information about the Lin Fan Martial Spirit and cultivation methods, but also many matters concerning the cultivation world.

It was more precise and far more abundant than the information from Faradagger.

According to the information from the original lifeform inheritance, Martial Spirit ranks were divided into 12: Mortal, Common, Earth, Heaven, King, Empire, Emperor, God-Lord, God-King, God-Empire, God-Emperor, and God-Deity.

Cultivation stages were also broader, divided into 13: Martial Practitioner, Martial learner, Martial Master, Martial Spirit, Martial Lord, Martial King, Martial Empire, Martial Emperor, Martial God-Lord, Martial God-King, Martial God-Empire, Martial God-Emperor, and Martial God-Deity.

Within that, it carefully explained about herbs and natural treasures and detailed explanations on cultivation.

The original lifeform Martial Spirit was of the bloodline type.

Martial Spirits could be classified into various types: weapon, beast, tool, treasure, constellation, and bloodline.

Weapon-type Martial Spirits included examples like sword, spear, saber; beast-type Martial Spirits were simply beasts, not very complicated.

Tool-type could be a ring, necklace, or even a pair of shoes.

Constellation-type drew energy from its associated star and was said to be the strongest in combat power.

Treasure types accelerated cultivation and had a very high rate of purifying energy without impurities.

The raw jade from Yue-Yin-Ar was also of the treasure type.
