"Who knows? Maybe it came from one of the seventy-two side sects?"

"impossible!"

With a sword incantation formed in her hand, Tang Xuekui's tone was solemn: "I've heard of some unorthodox cultivation methods, but none are as bizarre as yours. The Demon-Suppressing Sword couldn't detect even a trace of spiritual energy on you, yet you were able to touch it—"

"The Demon-Suppressing Sword?"

Looking with some surprise at the sword in his hand that was vibrating hundreds of times per second, trying to break free from his right hand, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Looks like I've caught a big fish."

----------segmentation----------

As it turned out, it was the right decision not to eliminate the Illusionary Night Demon immediately upon arriving in Shouyang. Although the underlying mechanism remained unclear, there were indeed some fluctuations on her body that were constantly spreading outwards, resembling "signals." Upon noticing this anomaly, Lin Yi decisively stopped the mission and instead hid to wait for the possible "signal receiver."

I originally thought it would be some demon from the Illusionary Realm who would stop by to see what this demon race, capable of occupying a small world (past tense), was like, but I didn't expect that the person who appeared would be someone I never would have imagined.

Tang Xuekui, the 28th generation disciple of Mount Shu, a double champion in swordsmanship, and the most promising person in China to attain immortality.

Just like Murong Tianhe, who wielded Xihe and Wangshu, as a symbolic figure of Shushan, she also wielded a celestial sword of the same or even stronger level. The Demon-Suppressing Sword in Lin Yi's hand is one of them, and the other is probably the Demon Sword in front of her that is eager to attack.

The Demon-Suppressing Sword is known as a powerful weapon from the divine realm that fell to earth. It possesses the divine power to scare away demons and has always been regarded as the most precious treasure of the Shu Mountain Sect. Ordinary people rarely see it. However...

"The Demon-Suppressing Sword is said to be able to suppress all things in the world, but it cannot suppress anything because it lacks spiritual energy..."

The struggling force in his hand was hardly powerful—at most, it was equivalent to the force of 500 points of strength attribute. Lin Yi suddenly realized, "It seems this thing isn't as omnipotent as I thought."

Almost at the same moment Lin Yi realized the reason, a sharp sound of air being pierced came from ahead: "Slash!"

What was in sight was that the demonic sword, which should have appeared more than 20 meters away and was only a little over a meter long, had expanded to more than five meters in length in this short distance. It even split into five sword shadows constructed of spiritual energy, completely disregarding the possible impact on the surrounding area, and slashed down towards the land where Lin Yi was.

"Thump—!!!"

The loud noise and tremors startled the residents of Shouyang from their dreams. As they looked into the distance by the dim candlelight, they saw countless gleaming sword blades hanging above the Shouyang magistrate's residence.

"Since you don't care about the impact on mortals, what do I need to care about?"

Looking down at Tang Xuekui, who had regained the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and Liu Mengli, whom she was protecting behind her, he gently raised his hand towards the hundreds of "magic swords" suspended in mid-air: "Continuous, copy projection."

"BOOM ...

Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 213 Blazing Sky Covers Seven Rings

The attack philosophy in the world of immortals and heroes is quite different from that in the modern world. Cultivators who cherish spiritual energy mostly pursue a one-hit kill when facing enemies, which has led to the development of precise and deadly point-to-point attacks such as sword control techniques. In comparison, large-scale attacks are much rarer. At least when facing a single enemy, they will not use such spiritual energy-intensive attacks: not only is the preparation time long, but even if it hits, it may not cause any damage.

However, modern society is different. Mass production from the industrialized assembly line model provides sufficient "firepower," allowing people to effectively kill enemies while suppressing them with firepower. This results in a situation where an enemy that could be killed with a single bullet only takes tens of thousands of bullets to kill on average.

It's impossible to say which is right or wrong in terms of efficiency and probability, but in terms of effect alone, large-scale indiscriminate bombing is definitely much better than small-scale bombing, especially when every component of such "bombing" can inflict sufficient damage on the enemy...

The magic sword, based on magic and spirit arrays, has no offensive power in itself. It cannot even be used as an ordinary metal sword. What can truly cause damage is the main body, which is filled with two opposing spiritual energies of fire and water. It is fine when the internal balance is maintained. However, when this magic sword is subjected to a sufficiently strong external impact, the independent spiritual energies inside will lose their balance and collide—leading to an explosion.

Unlike chemical explosions, explosions formed using spiritual energy as raw material are not only environmentally friendly and pollution-free (the spiritual energy automatically disperses and returns to nature), but their power is also further enhanced by the spiritual energy already present in the space. In scientific terms, this is a "chain reaction." Unfortunately, this chain reaction cannot be further enhanced due to insufficient density of spiritual energy in the air. Otherwise, it would be possible to detonate the spiritual energy of the entire cultivation world at once using this principle.

Even so, such power is already quite fatal to cultivators whose physical bodies are inherently fragile. Coupled with the almost inexhaustible spiritual energy provided by the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand, Lin Yi could continue this "wide-area bombardment" for an entire day without any burden. It's just that this Shouyang County underground is destined to be lost...

"BOOM ...

Centered on the garden directly below, an average of more than thirty magic swords fell and detonated from a height of over a hundred meters every second. The entire Shouyang County seemed to be welcoming the most "enthusiastic" carnival in history. The dazzling light formed by the explosion and spread of spiritual energy illuminated almost half of the city. The rumbling sound was more intense than a hundred fireworks exploding at the same time. However, no one stopped to admire this dreamlike scene unique to the world of immortals and heroes.

Mortals were unaware of what was happening, but that didn't stop them from fleeing far away from this place of calamity that could destroy Shouyang at any moment; cultivators knew what was happening, but simply resisting these countless "spiritual swords" was already extremely difficult for them, let alone appreciating the beautiful scene.

Only Lin Yi, who was continuously projecting from a distance and filling the projected magic sword with spiritual energy through the Water Spirit Orb, had time to observe.

"Based on the speed limit provided by the Water Spirit Orb, it should be able to be increased to three times the current level. It's just that converting it into a fire attribute is quite troublesome... It's a pity that the projected carrier cannot be preserved for a long time. Otherwise, detonating a million of them at once should be enough to raze Kunlun to the ground."

Just as Lin Yi was feeling regretful, a soft shout came from the intense "center of the underground firepower": "Ten Thousand Swords Technique!"

The next second, countless snow-white, sharp sword lights shot up from the center of the spiritual energy storm composed of red and blue, not only shattering dozens of magic swords along the way, but also turning into a storm that swept towards Lin Yi's location.

Facing the oncoming storm of sword energy, he narrowed his left eye slightly: "Law Aias (Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven)"

The rings, blooming like flower petals, spread out in circles in front of him, then shattered layer by layer amidst the shrill whistling of the sword energy. Some of the broken sword energy that was deflected and splashed out formed a real "disaster".

What can be easily blocked by the mysterious is no less deadly to the mortals. Even the strongest armor cannot withstand the spiritual energy, let alone an unarmed mortal.

In less than three seconds, the shattered sword energy tore everything above the horizontal within a radius of over a hundred meters into pieces, and from a distance, buildings collapsed or screams could be heard from time to time—in terms of power, the "Ten Thousand Swords Technique" performed with the Demon-Suppressing Sword as its medium lived up to its name.

"Increase"

Feeling the intensity of each sword aura emanating from him, as the Law Aias (Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven) blocking his path was reduced to its final layer by the storm of sword energy, he gently clenched his raised right fist.

Phase Two

At the same moment, Tang Xuekui, whose face had turned pale from maintaining the Myriad Swords Technique for so long, also unleashed her strongest attack: "Sword God—!"

The sword energy storm, which had been in decline, expanded again. The howling sword energy vortex directly swept up and tore apart all non-fixed objects on the ground. It seemed that even the vast Shouyang County itself was trembling in the storm. As the center of the storm's impact, even though the expanding sword energy was still high in the sky and had not yet actually fallen, the ground within tens of meters around it collapsed layer by layer in the invisible sword energy, revealing the figure standing at the center.

"cut--!"

"Impact".

The moment the physical demonic sword touched the right hand that was twisting a storm of spiritual energy, time seemed to freeze for a brief instant.

"boom----------------!!!"

----------segmentation----------

"—!"

"Demon King, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Do not……"

Looking at the distant night sky with suspicion, the demon king, who had been hiding near Shouyang County with his tribe after the Illusionary Realm was taken away, frowned: "Something seems to have gone wrong in Shouyang."

"It's just a city inhabited by ordinary people; even with a huge commotion—"

"boom----------------!!!"

Like a drop of cold water falling into a boiling oil pan, the spiritual energy emanating from Shouyang formed a distorted storm that swept outwards in all directions. Directly above the storm, countless awe-inspiring and sharp sword energies were forcibly broken and "blasted" into the sky as if subjected to some terrible impact. The remaining momentum tore apart the thick dark clouds covering Shouyang before finally dissipating.

Without a second thought, Chanyou soared into the air. In the dim moonlight filtering through the torn clouds, all that met the demon king's eyes was a desolate wasteland...

Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 214 Demon King

"Fire Spirit Orb..."

Holding the sphere in his hand, which constantly radiated terrifying heat, Lin Yi frowned slightly.

In the end, they were still unable to eliminate the Illusionary Demon and the Shu Mountain disciples together. Originally, with their strength, they could have wiped them out in one fell swoop, but it seems that in the end, the opponent realized that it was impossible to defeat them, so they simply unleashed a powerful sword technique and threw the Fire Spirit Orb.

If Lin Yi had continued the pursuit at that time, he would likely have been severely injured by the energy detonated by the Fire Spirit Orb. Judging from the total amount of spiritual power stored inside the Water Spirit Orb, the power of the Fire Spirit Orb once it was fully detonated could be considered as that of a small nuclear missile, and an environmentally friendly and pollution-free one at that.

Left with no other choice, Lin Yi had to abandon the pursuit of stopping the detonation of the Fire Spirit Orb. Moreover, Lin Yi's "Magic Sword" system just happened to lack such a source with rich fire spirit energy. If the "Magic Sword Projection" had included this Fire Spirit Orb, the number would have increased by more than five times.

"Never mind, at least it's not like we came away empty-handed."

Abandoning the idea of ​​chasing directly to Mount Shu, he turned his gaze to the ghostly figure that had appeared out of nowhere: "And who are you looking for?"

Sensing the still unsettled, turbulent spiritual energy fluctuations around her, reason told the Demon Lord that it was best to leave immediately, but her worry for her daughter urged her to make the opposite decision: "...Where is Liu Mengli?"

"Hmm, you mean that monster from the Illusionary Realm?"

The fact that they had already grabbed the claws on the bone armor without even waiting for an answer speaks volumes.

"Zi-"

The sudden attack only tore a part of the strange "armor" on the other party's body. This abnormal situation made Chan You fall into deep doubt, but her worries only intensified. After all, the other party had already revealed Liu Mengli's true identity. It was possible that she had suffered misfortune, even if she thought the worst.

"Hand over Liu Mengli, or you'll die here!"

"...Originally, I was even considering betraying Qionghua because I couldn't complete the mission, but it seems I can delay it for a while longer."

Talking to himself, his left eye, glowing with a pale blue light beneath the removed facial armor, addressed the anxious Demon Lord: "Compared to an insignificant Illusionary Demon, surely the Demon Lord is more capable of proving my innocence?"

Although this means we can no longer hide it, so what?

Essentially, I don't need to play house with these cultivators at all. I'll use those I can, and those I can't...

"Just kill them all."

----------segmentation----------

When the disciples of the immortal cultivation sects that governed this area arrived late, led by their sect leader, they could find no useful clues other than the ruins of the city and the restless spiritual energy. Even though the sect leader, who was at the Golden Core stage, risked depleting his own energy to use "Returning Light and Tracing Shadows," all he saw was a blurry scene.

The only thing that can be confirmed is the face that appeared at the end of the spiritual ritual.

"I've seen the portrait of Chan You, the Demon Lord of the Illusionary Realm, in Qionghua!"

"The only one who could possess such terrifying demonic power is the Demon King, but I never expected..."

Looking at the demon king, who had died without a complete corpse in the "Return of Light and Shadow" technique, an elder sighed, "A demon king of this generation has actually fallen, and we don't even know who did it."

Just then, a different voice rang out: "Even if he is the murderer, he should still be doing the people a favor by eliminating evil!"

Surprisingly, the statement about the scene of utter chaos was met with approval from the majority of people.

"Slaying demons and eliminating evil is a matter of course, and even if we have to make small sacrifices for it, it is inevitable!"

"That's right, killing a demon king is equivalent to saving millions of mortals. This senior must have been thinking the same way when he came here to intercept and kill the demon king. But he didn't expect the demon king to be so cunning. After realizing that he couldn't escape, he turned his evil hand towards Shouyang..."

The sect leader and the elder exchanged a glance, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

"That's right. Since that's the case, we shouldn't bother this senior who eliminates demons and protects the righteous path any longer. All disciples, listen to my command! Quickly follow me down to rescue the innocent people who are being persecuted by the Demon King!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, who was carrying the Demon King's inner core and rushing towards Qionghua, was unaware of what was happening behind him, and even if it had, he probably wouldn't have cared.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the Shushan Sword Sect would still have to fight even if they blamed everything on themselves. Since there was no difference between the two, what was there to worry about?

In comparison, Lin Yi actually confirmed something through that battle in Shouyang County.

"Cultivators advocate non-action, which aligns with the will of Heaven on one hand, and on the other hand, committing many acts of killing will accumulate karma, and too much karma will bring calamity. At best, it will reduce their cultivation; at worst, it will lead to death and annihilation. Therefore, they will not easily attack demons, let alone mortals. But now it seems..."

Recalling Tang Xuekui's decisiveness and speed during the fight in Shouyang, Lin Yi was quite certain that she had not shown any concern for the mortals around her during that process, and even used the entire population of Shouyang as sacrifices just to hold him back.

The authenticity of this 'cause and effect' is probably still open to debate.

After memorizing the entire discovery, he shifted his attention to another "innate spiritual treasure" he had just acquired while still some distance from Qionghua.

Just like the five attributes of spiritual power in this world of immortals and heroes, since there is a water spirit orb, there are also spirit orbs of the four attributes: fire spirit orb, thunder spirit orb, wind spirit orb, and earth spirit orb.

According to legend, the Five Spirit Pearls were formed by the ancient goddess Nuwa by condensing five powerful natural forces: water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth. They represent the strongest forces in the human world.

Judging from the Water Spirit Orb and Fire Spirit Orb that Lin Yi has now obtained, it seems that they are somewhat overrated.

The two spirit orbs are undeniably excellent in terms of their spiritual energy storage capacity. Simply by using the spiritual energy within them, Lin Yi, who is not a cultivator, could freely unleash various spiritual techniques in this spiritually abundant world. However, they are far from being the "strongest power in the human world." At least the power unleashed by the owner of the demon core that Lin Yi is currently carrying—the Demon Lord of the Illusionary Darkness Realm—before his death was quite close to the power of the two spirit orbs. Not to mention Dao Yin Zhenren, who defeated Chan You head-on nineteen years ago, and even used the power of his twin swords to bind Xi He and Wang Shu of a small world...

This is where the problem arises.

"Was this how the Five Elemental Pearls were originally, or did they suffer some severe damage that reduced their power by most of it?"

Feeling the completely different sensations coming from his hands, Lin Yi vaguely felt as if he had returned to that mysterious and elusive intelligent world.

Reversal of Spiritual Energy: Chapter 215 The Immortal Slaying Alliance (Part 1)

The sense of déjà vu that Lin Yi had experienced while in the intelligent world alerted him, and his original plan to gradually uncover the truth of this world was revised: the lessons of the intelligent world were profound enough, and no accident could be allowed to happen when a war against another fragment of the main god was about to begin, let alone an accident that occurred within the territory of his own "base".

After immediately instructing the main god to prepare for the deployment of the folded space, he went directly to the coordinates where he had entered this world: the back mountain of Qionghua.

Unsurprisingly, the person Lin Yi was looking for was here.

"What are your thoughts on this trip, my nephew?"

His face still wore that gentle smile. Despite being one of the "Twin Sword Masters" of the same school as the other Shu Mountain Sword Sect disciple who had recently been nearly killed, the eeriness emanating from this "Uncle-Master Murong" far exceeded expectations. It was precisely this eeriness that made Lin Yi decide to tear off the last shred of pretense—

"what is your purpose?"

Shaking his head slightly, Murong Tianhe did not answer the question directly, but instead posed another seemingly unrelated question: "Does Junior Nephew think the demon race deserves to die?"

"You should ask the demon race this question. Do humans deserve to die?"

"I didn't realize that Junior Nephew Lin could be so humorous. Indeed, as long as the demon race has not quelled its war against our human race, the demon race deserves to die. This has nothing to do with right or wrong or justice. It's just that our human race's position dictates that we must 'slay demons and eliminate evil.' Everything else is just an excuse."

He paused slightly, and just when Lin Yi thought he was about to get to the point—

"Do you think that cultivators like O-ba-wu-ling (nine) and 6-jiu deserve to die?"

"—!"

"Why react like this, Junior Nephew Lin? With your abilities, it should be incredibly easy for you to see the 'reality' of this Divine Land. Just as the demon race slaughters humans to extract their essence and devour their flesh, aren't cultivators also using this method to raise demons, seizing their inner cores to improve their cultivation? With the current strength of the cultivation world, which has been recuperating for hundreds of years, expelling the demon race is a piece of cake. Why has the sect leader and elders never mentioned this matter? Don't you understand, Junior Nephew Lin?"
