Chapter 312: Heavenly Demon



At the moment when Li Shiming withdrew from the first level of heaven, an illusory black shadow appeared from the void and pounced towards him.

Even though his spiritual sense sensed the illusory black shadow, he was still unable to dodge it. The speed of the illusory black shadow was too fast, even faster than when he used 'Lotus Step by Step'.

It was as if a thought came to him.

At the same time, his body withdrew from the first level of heaven.

"Hehehe!" Li Shiming felt a shrill laughter coming from his brain. This laughter was full of arrogance, extreme excitement, and cruelty to life. This was not the laughter that a normal life should have.

"Who is it?" Li Shiming shouted in a deep voice.

Spiritual energy surged in his body, and at the same time, the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill' and the 'Sword Demon Secret Book' were fully mobilized, allowing his body defense to reach the extreme.

He even had the 'Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate' in his hand. If there was any heresy, he would have enough time to use the 'Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate' to protect himself.

The sect was right beneath him, and these actions were enough to keep him going until the sect elders arrived.

But he soon discovered that the enemy was not outside his body at all, but in his soul.

His mind was focused inward, sensing the phantom shadow that pounced on him and then disappeared, and he saw a familiar yet terrifying figure.

This familiarity did not come from him, but from his clone Li Yuanba. When Li Yuanba joined the Senluo Sect, he had been tested by the Heavenly Demon.

What Li Shiming sensed in his soul was a celestial demon.

This demon came from outer space and luckily broke through the outer perimeter of the thirty-three heavens and entered the first heaven.

Even Jindan cultivators rarely enter the thirty-third heaven.

Li Shiming did not know much about the Thirty-Three Heavens, most of which came from incomplete classics.

Sects and the vast majority of Jindan cultivators are very secretive about the Thirty-Three Heavens. There are few detailed explanations, and they will not easily enter the Thirty-Three Heavens.

There are warnings passed down from countless generations, and the dangers involved will not be revealed due to certain taboos.

In fact, the most dangerous one among the Thirty-three Heavens is the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon is blocked by the Thirty-three Heavens, and few can break through and enter the Thirty-three Heavens, let alone break through again and enter the human world.

But it does happen sometimes, and there will always be space gaps caused by natural disasters, which will allow the demons to break through the barriers.

Li Shiming was very unlucky. According to his master, Elder Su, his fortune was too great.

This blessing is not all good. For a small foundation-building cultivator like him, he would encounter a powerful being in the false infant stage during the rare time he goes out. This is also a blessing.

Today, he was just trying to get some inspiration, and wanted to go to the thirty-third heaven to take a look.

Who would have thought that even with such an action, within the time of sticking of incense, he would encounter the devil.

The devil originally could not easily break through the thirty-three heavens and enter the human world.

But when Li Shiming withdrew from the thirty-three heavens, the devil entered his body, and using his body as a container, successfully entered the human world.

After entering the human world, this demon did not leave Li Shiming's body.

The demons come to the human world in order to attach themselves to cultivators with great potential and manipulate them to become their puppets.

The demon discovered Li Shiming's great potential after entering his body.

Despite his extremely young body, he has already reached the level of a half-step golden elixir, not to mention that he has all five elements of spiritual power in his body and also possesses lightning attributes. His body is also a rare pure body.

Li Shiming's Taoist body was so excellent that after the demon entered his body, he was as happy as if he had won a lottery.

Even if the demon has a chance to enter the human world, if it fails to attach itself to the body of a cultivator and does not have the protection of the cultivator's body as a container, it will be wiped out by the rules of heaven and earth.

The rules of heaven and earth give the celestial demon a very short time to enter the human world. It is not easy for the celestial demon to find a suitable furnace in a short time. How could this celestial demon give up such a perfect Taoist body as Li Shiming?

That laughter was the devil's expression of extreme happiness. After laughing, the devil was ready to devour Li Shiming's soul and make him his puppet.

After sensing the demon, Li Shiming immediately understood his situation.

There are many legends about the Heavenly Demon in the world of immortal cultivation.

There is a legend that if a cultivator has a problem with his state of mind, no matter what realm he is in, he may form a certain connection with the devil. Once the connection is formed, the devil will descend into the cultivator's soul and transform the cultivator into a demon.

There are also legends that after being possessed by the devil, the demon will continue to kill to quickly increase its strength.

No matter which legend it is, it shows how terrifying the devil is.

Li Shiming's mind raced as he activated the IBM z15, and Buddhist music rang out deep in his soul.

The appearance of Buddha's voice only slowed down the demon's movements, but he continued to prepare to devour his soul.

"It's not enough!" Li Shiming knew that this method was not enough to affect the demon.

A huge shadow appeared behind him, which was the true meaning of the "Vajra Body Protection Magic".

He practiced many skills, but this was the only one that could truly transform his true meaning into a physical form.

Of course, the main reason for this is that not all exercises can form the true meaning into a shape. Only exercises that involve faith can summon through the true meaning the real existence or the existence constructed by the world through faith.

Behind him is the Wrathful Vajra. He doesn't know whether the Wrathful Vajra really exists, but the Wrathful Vajra that he transformed with his true intention has a hint of the power of the Buddhist Vajra.

The angry Vajra illusion looked at Li Shiming with a pair of angry eyes. Its gaze penetrated Li Shiming's body and stared at the demon.

Golden swastika Buddhist seals appeared on all sides of the illusory demon, forming a cage in an attempt to trap the demon.

The Buddhist Vajra is the nemesis of the Heavenly Demon. Even if it is just an incarnation of the true Buddhist Vajra, the Heavenly Demon cannot maintain its true strength in the human world, and the power of the Heavenly Demon is also reduced to one hundredth of what it was.

The devil roared, and an illusory figure flashed, trying to escape from the golden swastika Buddha seal cage.

But no matter how the demon moved, the golden swastika Buddhist seal would move with the demon, maintaining the siege.

Li Shiming's big movement in the sky was naturally noticed by the Jindan elder who was in charge of the formation at the mountain gate.

Elder Jindan recognized his identity and saw that he was using his true meaning to transform, so he did not disturb him.

It was because of Li Shiming's special identity that Elder Jindan gave him such face, but it also made Li Shiming lose the opportunity for the sect to help him.

Otherwise, if the sect discovered that Li Shiming was possessed by a demon, they would still have some means to help Li Shiming.

The golden swastika Buddhist seal became tighter and tighter, and soon shrank into a cage without any gaps.

Li Shiming was just feeling happy when he found out that due to his own realm being too low, the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic' he was practicing was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, which made the might of the Wrathful Vajra's true meaning incarnation also at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Therefore, this kind of angry-eyed Vajra's true meaning incarnation can trap the devil, but it cannot completely kill the devil. It can only continuously weaken the devil.

The biggest trouble Li Shiming encountered was that the time for the true meaning of the wrathful Vajra he activated to transform was limited, and it could not last for a few hours. This was the time he could last for at the half-step golden elixir realm.

At the speed at which the Heavenly Demon is weakened, the true form of the Wrathful Vajra will disappear first.

If the true meaning of the wrathful Vajra disappears in form, the devil can devour his soul and recover.

Li Shiming thought of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' which he had previously majored in and later planned to change to a secondary subject.

He found the higher-grade 'Five Rhythms Qi Training Art', but he still couldn't give up the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'. The most important reason for this was that the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' was a thunder technique.

Thunder magic is the most powerful magic technique, and in the world of immortal cultivation, it is one of the few techniques that can rival sword cultivation.

Therefore, even though practicing the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' more often might affect his practice speed, he still insisted on practicing the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'.

"Possessed by thunder!" he shouted in a deep voice.

As he shouted, countless flashes of lightning surged out from the Spirit Lake and flowed through his veins throughout his body.

Every part of his body was filled with lightning. 'Thunder Possession' was originally meant to increase a cultivator's resistance to lightning, greatly increasing his control over lightning in a short period of time.

But when used at this time, lightning becomes a weapon to fight against the devil.

It seemed that since both the golden swastika Buddhist seal and the lightning came from Li Shiming himself, the golden swastika Buddhist seal did not repel or fight against the lightning, but allowed it to pass through.

The lightning also did not attack the golden swastika Buddhist seal, and successfully penetrated the cage of the golden swastika Buddhist seal.

"Ah!" A shrill, sharp scream, even like the piercing sound of metal friction, rang out in Li Shiming's soul, causing his entire body to tremble.

When Li Shiming was on Tianhai Island, he learned a skill called "The Devil's Sound into the Ears". It is said that "The Devil's Sound into the Ears" was created with reference to the howling of the devil.

He was now certain that the 'devil's sound' could not be compared with the real howl of the devil. The strong impact of the howl of the devil that directly acted on the soul was several levels stronger than the 'devil's sound'.

In other words, his soul was strong enough to endure the howling of the devil without suffering any harm. Li Shiming just felt a little dizzy and his body was shaking, which was an instinctive reaction.

He suppressed the demon's howl and constantly mobilized the lightning in the Spirit Lake, continuously stimulating the 'Heavenly Thunder Possession'.

The reason why the demon howled so miserably was because the "Heavenly Thunder Possession" took effect and caused considerable damage to it.

After the 'Heavenly Thunder Possession' lasted for a few breaths, Li Shiming found that his control over thunder and lightning had greatly improved.

Every flash of lightning in his body is connected to his senses. The lightning is like his eyes, his hands, his tongue, and his nose. He can see, touch, taste, and smell everything it touches.

He had also practiced 'Heavenly Thunder Possession' many times, and felt that he had already mastered the technique instantly, which was considered the ultimate mastery of the technique.

But he realized at this moment that he had not truly mastered the 'Heavenly Thunder Possession' before. He didn't know if it was because of the fight against the Heavenly Demon, or if the appearance of the Heavenly Demon caused the change of thunder and lightning. Anyway, at this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the 'Heavenly Thunder Possession' and the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art'.

Originally, the lightning that continuously passed through the golden Swastika Buddha Seal was irregular, but after his control over lightning improved, these lightning lights became part of his body, and were controlled in the most delicate way with his five senses.

The lightning was no longer chaotic but became orderly. Within the golden swastika Buddha seal, it formed another lightning cage that surrounded the demon.

Although Li Shiming could not compare with the might of the angry King Kong, it was not a problem for him to form a formation composed of dense moving electric lights by using the electric lights as nodes.

Of course, this involves unimaginable calculations, which even he, a master of formations, cannot do. But with the computing power of IBM z15, this originally impossible operation has become a reality.

The damage of lightning to the demon is not high, but it lasts for a long time.

However, the electric light cage can trap the devil. With the amount of electric light stored in Li Shiming's spiritual lake, it can easily hold out for dozens of days.

If Li Shiming practices the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' during this period to supplement his skills, this time can be extended further.

Li Shiming finally felt relieved. He had never thought that he could trap the demon so easily.

The Heavenly Demon cannot be trapped so easily. Even with the current understanding of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art' and the control over lightning, without the true meaning of the Angry Vajra to transform and trap the Heavenly Demon first, if only the electric cage was used, the Heavenly Demon would have escaped before the electric cage was completed.

Li Shiming opened his eyes and looked at where he was. He was ten thousand meters above the mountain gate. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that many cultivators inside the mountain gate would pay attention to him.

He didn't know how the sect would deal with the demon possession. As he was capable of handling his own situation, he didn't want the sect to interfere.

Because he couldn't guarantee that the sect would not wipe out the demon along with himself. The possibility was very low, but he didn't dare to try.

He put away the true meaning of the angry Vajra and transformed himself. During this process he carefully sensed the state of the demon.

After the golden swastika Buddha seal cage disappeared, the demon's resistance was significantly strengthened. However, under the restraints of the electric cage, apart from being severely punished by the thunder and lightning, he could not make any waves.

Without the incarnation of the wrathful Vajra, he would not be so eye-catching.

He activated the sword escape technique, flew downwards, returned to the Sword Holding Peak, and immediately entered the training room in his own cave.

He didn't know whether the fourth-grade 'Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate' would be useful against the demon, but no matter what, this was his most powerful array.

He laid down the 'Sumeru Mustard Seed Array Plate', placing himself in a separate space.

With the 'Heavenly Thunder Possession' of the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Strike Art', he doesn't have to worry about being possessed by a demon, but he also doesn't want the demon to escape.

This 'Sumeru Mustard Seed Array' is a barrier he set up. Although I don't know if it is useful, it is enough as long as it can slow down the escape of the demon.

If the demon escapes from the body, in this enclosed space, he can emit more electric light without worrying about over-excitation of electric light causing harm to the Taoist body.
