Shenji's expression turned serious. "You've made a contract with the Shadow Demon?"
"Where there are gods, there are demons. What does it matter if they are gods or demons? As long as they can be used by me, gods and demons are both acceptable!" Yinghua's voice sounded as if thousands of people were speaking at the same time. The sound was deafening. The disciples with weak cultivation would cover their ears and scream when they heard this demonic voice.
Shenji became serious. He glanced silently at Linghu Lan, his sleeves fluttering without wind. He turned his gaze to Yinghua and slowly forced a drop of golden liquid from his body, dripping it onto the Demon-Slaying Tower.
The Demon-Slaying Tower instantly absorbed the drop of liquid, immediately becoming dazzling. The entire tower changed from bronze to golden yellow, its light blazing brightly.
The young disciples in the arena didn't understand what it was, and they whispered and discussed among themselves.
The sect leaders, patriarchs, and chief disciples of all the immortal sects fell silent, looking solemnly at Shenji, their eyes revealing admiration and concern.
When a cultivator reaches a certain level, nine drops of divine liquid will condense within their body. This divine liquid can form a golden body, and once the golden body is formed, one can be ranked among the gods of the Heavenly Court.
However, in the Dharma-ending Age, the Heavenly Court has long since fallen, and these are now distant legends. There has never been any talk of anyone being able to condense divine liquid, a drop of which is equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation.
Shenji has only cultivated for a few hundred years, yet he was able to condense divine liquid, demonstrating astonishing talent. Even more astonishing is that he was willing to use the divine liquid to forcibly upgrade the Demon-Slaying Tower.
Such magnanimity truly deserves to be ranked among the gods.
However, does this also mean that Yinghua has become so powerful that nothing can suppress her? Even Shenji has to rely on a treasure like the Demon-Slaying Tower to suppress her?
The crowd's expressions turned serious. If Shenji lost, their fate would be obvious.
Linghu Lan felt a chill run down her spine from Shenji's gaze: she recognized the look in his eyes—it was the look of someone leaving their final words.
Every pore on her body tensed up. She lowered her head, thought for a moment, patted Xiao Lü's shoulder, and whispered a few words.
Little Green was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and shouted loudly, "Come and take a look! Don't miss out! One spirit stone to see the Dream of Shadows! This is a once-in-a-lifetime discount opportunity! Buying it is a win, not buying it is a loss..."
All the immortal sects: "..." Are you trying to be funny at a time like this?
Everyone was filled with anger and anxiety, but due to the unclear and unpredictable relationship between Linghu Lan and Shenji, they dared not speak out.
Shenji smiled slightly, feeling a sense of relief. He looked at Yinghua and said calmly, "In that case, let's settle this with our skills."
Yinghua's eyes, shrouded in black mist, turned to Linghu Lan. Countless black lines shot towards Linghu Lan as if they had eyes, determined to pierce her with thousands of holes.
The Divine Machine Tower shone brightly, severing the black threads, but the severed threads still flew towards Linghu Lan. The Divine Machine Tower immediately reached out and grabbed all the black threads in its hand.
Yinghua smiled coldly, and a black thread emerged from the ground, wrapped around Linghu Lan, and headed straight for Linghu Lan's heart. Shenji grabbed it with his finger, and the black thread twisted and flew into the dream in Linghu Lan's hand, before flying back into Yinghua's hand.
The moment Linghu Lan was covered by the black silk, she felt as if she had walked among a crowd of demons, and couldn't help but shiver. Fortunately, Shenji pulled the black silk away, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have lasted three seconds under it before she died.
Shenji calmly asked, "How are you?"
