#713 - Rebirth of hope
But now, he possessed the power of an ancient demon, his strength greatly increased, and he could naturally control this mysterious pagoda.
The situation was different now; he possessed the power of an ancient demon. Although his strength hadn't advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was already more formidable than cultivators at that level.
As Li Chengfeng's mana surged, the massive Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda suddenly began to expand, from ten miles, twenty miles, to a hundred miles, blotting out the sky and the sun, like a colossal mountain suspended in the air.
The pagoda emitted a powerful suction force, transforming into threads that shot through the air. None of the evil spirits entangled by these threads escaped; they were all pulled into the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda and refined with a boom.
These evil spirits were like delicious meals, and once they entered the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda, they were dismembered by all the heads inside.
At this moment, these heads also underwent changes along with Li Chengfeng's transformation.
Horns grew on their heads, each carrying a soaring demonic aura and evil energy, as if they possessed a certain amount of the ancient demon's power.
This power allowed them to devour everything and transform it for their own use, which was why the ancient demons were wanted in ancient times.
They were like parasites, constantly devouring and dividing, reaching an unbelievable level.
At this moment, the number of heads inside the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda had reached as many as hundreds of thousands.
They were all extremely hungry, and these evil spirits were simply not enough to go around.
However, the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda had its own rules, ensuring that every head could have a taste.
Therefore, even though the number of evil spirits was very small after being distributed, they were still insatiable, making greedy, creaking noises.
This sound made people's bodies tremble with fear, as if they could feel their inner desire and ferocity.
Li Chengfeng stood under the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda, his eyes like torches, staring at everything.
The Skeleton Hermit, seeing that he was about to become a commander without troops, had no heart to continue fighting.
He tried to escape several times, but he could never cross the seal that sealed off the heavens and the earth, which made him feel despair and helplessness.
At this time, the four half-step God Transformation cultivators surrounded him, and Long Qi and Long Ba also solved their opponents. The three thousand Forbidden Armor cultivators transformed into a battle formation, like a giant spear pointing at him.
Faced with such a desperate situation, the Skeleton Hermit finally realized that his evil spirit army was probably going to be completely annihilated in the evil spirit world this time.
He angrily looked at Long Tianqi and cursed: "Long Tianqi, you are a shameless and despicable waste! Now you are neither a heroic spirit nor an evil spirit, neither human nor ghost.
And you brought humans to slaughter our evil spirits! Have you forgotten that you live in this world?
When there are fewer and fewer evil spirits in this world, the rules here will change, and the world will collapse, and the heroic spirits will be useless!"
Long Tianqi frowned, feeling that what the Skeleton Hermit said was not entirely unreasonable.
However, Li Chengfeng snorted coldly, interrupting their conversation: "Don't listen to his sophistry. I didn't want to kill all the evil spirits here.
Your army of a Skeleton Hermit is just a drop in the bucket in the evil spirit world.
I just want to find treasures containing the aura of slaughter."
The Skeleton Hermit suddenly seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and he hurriedly said: "Li Chengfeng, if I provide you with information.
Tell you where there are treasures containing the aura of slaughter, can you let me leave?
After all, you humans and our evil spirit world are not the same world at all. You don't need to kill us all in the evil spirit world."
Li Chengfeng nodded and said: "What you said makes some sense.
I'm not the kind of person who wants to kill everyone. As long as the clues you provide are accurate, and I can find that treasure, I will let you leave. Many years later, you can still build your own army."
At this time, the huge evil treasure Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda had already suppressed the Skeleton Hermit. The Skeleton Hermit gritted his teeth, knowing that he had no room for negotiation.
So, he said: "I surrender, I'll talk!" He actually stood there respectfully, influenced by the cultivation technique.
Immediately, Long Tianqi and the other four half-step God Transformation cultivators directly held him down.
However, they did not kill him, but only sealed the power in his body.
Li Chengfeng strode over, his black robe fluttering, filled with murderous intent. Although his strength was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was enough to deter people.
The Skeleton Hermit was a straightforward person. Seeing Li Chengfeng coming over, he didn't want to waste any time and said honestly: "Three hundred thousand miles away from here, there is a land of evil spirits.
Three major legions live there, namely the Skeleton Old Demon, the Evil Spirit Overlord, and the Jiuhua Devil Taro.
Each of these three legion commanders once ruled over 300,000 evil spirits.
The mountain they guard is called Slaughter Mountain, which is formed by the condensation of all the evil power of countless evil spirits who died in the evil spirit world.
I don't know how many years, it should be 100,000 years.
Anyway, from the time I became an evil spirit, that mountain has been standing there, absorbing the aura of slaughter here.
It's just a pity that no one can shake it. The three of them are guarding there, waiting for the day when they can come up with a way to refine this mountain together."
Li Chengfeng nodded, his tone with unquestionable firmness: "If what you said is true, and that treasure is as powerful as you said, I will not only let you go, but also give you a good fortune.
You are now a commander without troops, and it is indeed difficult to grow.
Evil spirit, oh evil spirit, you have done many evils and formed an evil spirit, but I can transform you into a heroic spirit, how about that?"
The Skeleton Hermit asked in disbelief: "Really? You can turn me into a heroic spirit? In fact, who wants to be an evil spirit?
It's only because I did all kinds of bad things in my previous life, and my soul couldn't dissipate after death, so I couldn't enter the underworld and became an evil spirit.
Now, master, you actually said that you can let me become a heroic spirit, how can I not be excited?"
As he said, he knelt on the ground and respectfully bowed: "Skeleton Hermit pays respects to the master!"
At this time, these words completely defeated his heart and ignited the hope in his heart.
Li Chengfeng did not hesitate to use a secret technique, and a special force surged out from the Black Lotus Buddha-Heart Pagoda.
This is the Buddha's intention, Zen intention, as if the hundreds of thousands of heads killed by Li Chengfeng all turned into Buddhas, chanting transcendence scriptures and the Vain Birth Curse.
As the Vain Birth Curse surged out, the power on the evil spirit Skeleton Hermit's body began to slowly reverse, gradually turning into the aura of a heroic spirit.
A heroic spirit aura burst out from his body, and he knelt on the ground again, saying gratefully: "It is all the master who has given me a new life!"
Li Chengfeng said with a smile: "Now that you have become a heroic spirit, it is impossible to associate with those evil spirits again.
There is only one path waiting for you. If you help me win that treasure this time, I can give you a greater fortune."
He pointed at Long Tianqi and continued: "Did you see? He used to be a heroic spirit, but now I have turned him into a human, with flesh and blood, able to cultivate, which is like living a new life. Do you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, the Skeleton Hermit immediately understood. He knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing non-stop and saying: "Master is above, I am willing to go through fire and water for the master, and I will die without regret!"
