The Path of Survivor Begins With Obtaining Titles

 

In the information provided by the jade slip of Heaven’s Extremity Pavilion, it was specifically mentioned that the rules of the trial vary for each person, and some even prohibit the use of body-protecting spells or flying.

Moreover, whatever spells or divine skills one uses within the Tai Xuan Tower, others cannot see them, because Tai Xuan Tower is not controlled by anyone.

Lin Yi then asked, “If I kill these two demons, does that mean I have passed the first level of the trial?”

The jade slip did not mention if the difficulty of the trial would increase if one’s displayed strength was far above what the Tai Xuan Tower had detected, so he had to confirm this first.

However, the voice did not answer him. Lin Yi chuckled; it seemed he could not easily use his real strength.

Just then, the demon beasts furiously flew toward him, seemingly intent on engaging in close combat, while the bear demon, which appeared extremely robust, actually hid behind and cast spells. It was laughable that the bear demon, which didn’t practice body refinement, resorted to spellcasting.

Faced with the demon tribe’s magical attacks, he could only use his physical strength to withstand them, as employing a magical shield would mean using abilities beyond his physical body.

And in facing the close combat from the demon race, he could only use spells and was not allowed to strike with his physical body; otherwise, he would fail the trial. This was truly insane.

If one did not possess sufficient strength, entering at the initial stage of Deification would be tantamount to suicide.

Although one wouldn’t die within the Tai Xuan Tower, injuries were inevitable.

Watching the demon race beings madly charging at him, Lin Yi did not dodge away. A thunder and lightning appeared in his left hand, and a dark, cold flame emerged in his right hand.

These were the best countermeasures against dark demonic energy. The thunder contained the Tribulation Thunder Element, and the flame was the dark element of the Red Lotus fire, both of which would burn furiously upon contact with dark demonic energy.

However, facing these two natural nemeses, the demon beast with red light emanating from its eyes showed no fear and continued to charge forward crazily.

Lin Yi controlled the damage from the lightning and flame to be around the middle stage of Deification. If he had started off using the power of the Refining Void Realm, easily killing these two demon beasts, perhaps the trial would continue to become even more difficult.

Because this was a challenge controlled by the spiritual wisdom of the Tai Xuan Tower, not a trial tactic of the Tai Xuan Dao Palace.

The lightning and flame leaped from his palms, striking the demon beast. The lightning reduced some of the demonic qi, while the flame that hit the demon beast’s body instantly set it ablaze.

Yet, the demon beast did not attempt to extinguish the fire and continued to rush forward maniacally. It moved like a wraith, hard to trace, but the flames on its body made its movements visible.

However, the fire seemed to burn slower than usual, indicating that this demon beast’s physical strength was also formidable.

At this moment, Lin Yi realized just how great a threat the demon race posed; they were beings entirely devoid of emotion, both towards themselves and others. They could not feel any pain, nor would they experience any emotions, existing purely like instruments of war.

Meanwhile, the spell released by the bear demon had also reached him. Instead of using magical powers, Lin Yi relied on his physical strength to dodge, using swift maneuvers to evade the magic attacks.

Since his cultivation was based on the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind created by Ancestor Liu Yun, with the Wind Element integrated into his body, this was naturally considered a manifestation of his physical strength.

After evading the bear demon’s spell, Lin Yi chose not to attack it. Dealing with both sides at once would only lead to disarray; he would deal with the demon race first.

He did not release the Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder and Fire, but instead used the power of thunder and fire to continuously intertwine and wreak havoc inside.

For a demon beast at the later stage of Deification, there was no need to employ too much power; the might of thunder and fire was sufficient.

He kept himself within a reasonable distance, so that if the bear demon’s magical attacks approached, he could dodge with his physical strength.

Otherwise, once the demon beast got close, he would no longer be able to use his physical strength.

Under the persistent assault of thunder and fire, the density of the demonic qi on the demon beasts only grew thicker, as if the more they were attacked, the crazier they became. ŗΑ𐌽օ𝐁Ěs̈

Lin Yi had to use the Wind Power to slow down the demon’s speed and prevent its movements from becoming even more elusive.

On the other side, the spells cast by the bear demon grew increasingly fierce, causing him considerable trouble.

Finally, with the strength of the middle stage of Divinity Transformation, he smoothly defeated the Demon Beast, reducing it to ashes.

Without hesitation, he used a Rebirth Charm and began the ritual of liberation and surprisingly gained a large amount of Virtue Points. It seemed that the demons within the Tai Xuan Tower were real entities.

Watching the Bear Demon continue to cast spells, Lin Yi revealed a smile on his face, “It’s your turn now, Big Black Bear.”

He gathered the Wind Element within his body to his feet and sprinted towards the Bear Demon, throwing a punch directly at it, only for a magical barrier to appear around the demon.

After testing it out, the barrier seemed quite sturdy.

Using merely the physical strength of the middle stage of Deification to break through would require some effort, especially since the barrier released by the Bear Demon was identical to that of a Human Cultivator in the later stage of Deification.

There is a considerable gap between the late stage and middle stage of Qi Refinement, not to mention the realm of Deification.

However, the Body Refinement Technique he cultivated was related to the Wind Element, which was entirely different.

In this world, there is no wall that the wind cannot break through. If there is, then the wind is not strong enough.

Lin Yi activated the Technique of Transforming Cloud into Wind, causing the Wind Element within his body to stir and gather in his palm. Then he transformed his palm into a fist, pressed it against the barrier, and spun himself, forming a tornado-like shape.

This was purely physical strength, with no use of Spiritual Power at all.

After a while, with the power of the wind in his body, he shattered the Bear Demon’s barrier and sent it flying with a punch, then proceeded to give it a brutal beating.

The Bear Demon grew angry as well, not bothering to cast spells any longer. It hammered the ground with its paws and began to trade blows with him.

Yet, with Lin Yi’s Body Refinement employing the Wind Element, he was extremely quick. Even if the Bear Demon reached the later stage of Deification like a Human Cultivator, it was unable to land a hit on him.

Moreover, his fists contained the Wind Element. With each strike, he introduced small tornados into its body, causing a piercing pain akin to being pricked.

Soon, the Bear Demon could no longer keep up. Unlike the emotionless demons, the Bear Demon was clearly different. It ran around trying to evade and finally gave in to begging, “Stop hitting me, I give up.”

“You don’t have the right to surrender,” Lin Yi said without stopping his assault, for through the Eye of Emptiness, he saw a dense, dark energy on the Bear Demon, indicating the numerous lives it had taken.

“I surrender! Take me back now!” the Bear Demon shouted frantically into the sky as Lin Yi continued to beat it.

However, the Tai Xuan Tower remained unresponsive, and Lin Yi, using sheer muscle strength, brutally killed the Bear Demon. He was not a bleeding-heart who would spare an opponent begging for mercy.

This Bear Demon had definitely killed more than a few Human Cultivators; there was no way he could let it go.

Suddenly, a light shone down from above and enveloped the Bear Demon’s Primordial Spirit, which was then drawn back into the sky.

Turning around, Lin Yi saw the body of the Bear Demon on the ground and stored it all in his Storage Ring. Though only bear paws were considered a delicacy, it was still a kill to his name and shouldn’t go to waste. He remembered buying the cheapest Demon Beast meat in the Outer Sect of Liu Yun Sect.

Now with the Bear Demon of Huashen laid out before him, he certainly couldn’t just slice off the paws.

Fortunately, this Bear Demon had not transformed into a human shape; otherwise, it would have been difficult to proceed.

After killing the Bear Demon, a voice rang out again, “You have passed through the first layer of trials.”

Then, a staircase made of clouds appeared from above, seemingly letting the challenger decide whether to enter the second layer of trials.

A light gate appeared next to it, likely representing the path to leave.

Naturally, Lin Yi did not hesitate. Passing the second layer of trials was necessary to enter the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. He immediately stepped onto the cloud staircase and as he reached the end, the scenery before his eyes changed, as though he had entered an Illusion Land.
