Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Chapter 226: Kong Hui, Nine-winged Saint Demon_2

Under the immense pressure, he couldn’t even stand upright. Even with all his effort in operating the Mixed Element Body Refining Skill, he could only manage to kneel halfway to the ground. He could clearly hear his bones creaking under the stress, as if they might snap at any moment.

"Such overwhelming pressure!"

Gu Sheng sighed inwardly, growing anxious. He had only wanted to test the power of the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll but had never imagined he would end up as the test subject.

The pressure grew increasingly intense, sweat dripping down Gu Sheng’s face like a torrent. He tried to summon Sword Qi to resist it, only to find that it dissipated instantly under the golden light before it could even condense.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, his Spiritual Bag deflated completely. Without the supply of Spiritual Power, the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll quickly lost its luster and reverted to its original state, falling to the ground.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

As the golden light disappeared, so did the extreme pressure. By that time, Gu Sheng was already drenched in sweat, collapsing onto the ground in exhaustion.

"Phew! I nearly played myself to death."

Gu Sheng rolled onto his back, looking at the nearby Demon Suppression Golden Scroll with lingering fear.

If it hadn’t been for the complete depletion of the Spiritual Energy stored in the Spiritual Bag, Gu Sheng reckoned he might have been crushed to death by the golden scroll.

The suppressive force emanating from the golden light of the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll was not just physical but also profoundly spiritual. Gu Sheng felt dizzy and nearly passed out. He quickly took out a few pills, consumed them, and forced himself to stand up, attempting to run the Mixed Element Body Refining Skill.

As the Mixed Element Body Refining Skill began to circulate, the fatigue on Gu Sheng’s body gradually dissipated, and the dizziness in his mind lessened.

Half an hour later, Gu Sheng finally recovered completely. He picked up the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll again with lingering apprehension: "This thing is too powerful. It seems I shouldn’t mess with it carelessly in the future."

After storing the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll away, Gu Sheng retrieved the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell to examine it closely. This time, he truly only intended to study its appearance, not daring to inject any power, let alone Spiritual Energy.

The Vajra Demon Suppression Bell appeared significantly heavier than the Demon Suppression Golden Scroll. Its surface was engraved with numerous runes.

The runes were highly mystical. After staring at them briefly, Gu Sheng began to feel waves of sacred chants echoing through his mind.

Under the influence of these chants, he noticed that the flow rate of the power in his body had increased slightly.

"Hmm? It has this kind of effect?"

Gu Sheng was a bit intrigued and immediately focused his gaze on the runes while operating the Mixed Element Body Refining Skill.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Sheng’s face was filled with delight: "This Vajra Demon Suppression Bell has such a miraculous effect! It truly is a priceless treasure!"

Through experimentation, Gu Sheng discovered that staring at the runes on the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell could accelerate the cultivation of Martial Arts!

In just a brief moment, Gu Sheng could already see a one-percent growth in his Mixed Element Body Refining Skill on his panel!

Though this may partly be attributed to his recent cultivation, the acceleration was undeniably noticeable.

Elated, Gu Sheng patted the surface of the bell: "The power this thing displayed in the Demon Suppression Sect was truly terrifying. I fear even someone at the ninth level of the Bone Refining Realm would be suppressed instantly. But I wonder how much power would be needed to unleash such an attack."

The moment Gu Sheng touched the surface of the bell, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. Instinctively wanting to withdraw his hand, he was startled as strong suction emerged from the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell’s surface, firmly holding his hand in place. Despite using all his strength, he couldn’t move an inch.

"Hiss!"

A sharp pain shot through him as Gu Sheng felt his blood rapidly draining away. The indented patterns on the surface of the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell gradually filled with his blood.

When the patterns were completely filled with blood, the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell suddenly emitted a dazzling red-golden light.

"Your crude cultivation techniques—but they restrain my Holy Demon Clan so thoroughly! You must not be allowed to live!"

The nine-winged Holy Demon waved his hand, summoning overwhelming demonic qi to materialize a massive black Demon Sword.

The Demon Sword hovered in the air, its frightening power seemingly capable of splitting the heavens apart.

Under the sword’s oppressive force, Konghui’s posture grew slightly stooped.

"Konghui, death by my Sky Breaking Demon Sword will ensure your name is remembered!"

The nine-winged Holy Demon swung his massive sword downward, its overwhelming energy crashing toward Konghui.

Konghui pressed his palms together, gazing through the nine-winged Holy Demon as if locking eyes directly with Gu Sheng: "I shall enter hell, so others need not. May those who follow guard their hearts and carry forth the Human Clan’s unyielding resolve! With my blood, let it ignite the first spark atop humanity’s unyielding spirit!"

With those words, Konghui rose into the air and struck the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell with both palms.

Immediately, the bell radiated golden light, expanding a hundredfold and enveloping the nine-winged Holy Demon completely.

As Konghui chanted profound sutras aloud, waves of sacred chants echoed. The Vajra Demon Suppression Bell ignited golden flames.

The nine-winged Holy Demon roared in fury, writhing within the flames, causing the bell to tremble violently as though it might shatter.

Konghui’s expression revealed resoluteness. Glancing at the heavens, he beamed brightly, "The spark is lit. The future blaze... it lies in your hands."

Konghui stepped into the golden flames of the Vajra Demon Suppression Bell. Within a few moments, both flesh and blood were completely consumed.

As his physical strength fueled the flames, the fire surged, and the aura of the nine-winged Holy Demon weakened bit by bit.
