Be the Hardest Working Demon Cultivator!

""Secluded Spring, as a demon immortal, I am the master of Sacred Gate. After all, both of us belong to the path of the demonic arts. So, how could you ever believe that a demonic cultivator would keep their oath?"

Tan Shuchang spoke slowly, his body shrouded in crimson, as if he had transformed into a vast, splashing curtain.

Beneath this blood-red curtain, however, were the Two Phases of Water and Fire.

Water adopts no constant shape, fire maintains no constant force.

This was the enlightenment Tan Shuchang gained during his seven-day journey in the Shenshu imprisoned land, perceiving the elemental rules of heaven and earth, thereby enhancing the might of his Divine Skills 'Melting Stone Flowing Gold' and 'Continuous Snowfall' to a new height!

It was also based on this realization that Tan Shuchang affirmed that the teachings he had received from the Sword Immortal were utter nonsense.

With his level of casually strolling for seven days, just observing the elemental rules of that place, able to induce such a transformation in his Divine Skills, there was no reason he couldn't comprehend even a bit of the Sword Dao.

At this moment, hearing Tan Shuchang's words, the broken corpse suppressed by the Two Phases of Water and Fire showed not the slightest reaction.

"Secluded Spring, you surely don't believe such a feigned death technique could fool me, do you?" Tan Shuchang earnestly asked.

As his voice fell, from the flattened flesh and limbs that seemed to break away into nothingness, some blood mist began to emerge from what could no longer accurately be described as a corpse of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

The blood mist was surrounded by either blazing fire or layers of frost, the residual might of Divine Skills. However, against these flames and frost, blessed by eight hundred years of Daoist cultivation, the blood mist was neither evaporated nor frozen, but instead, it formed a humanoid shape.

Then, the humanoid shape spoke: "Tan Shuchang, you dare to defy the oath of the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority, truly courting death! The Demon Luo Heavenly Authority might not have rekindled its flame for a long time, but it is not extinguished!"

"As a demonic cultivator, from the very moment you stepped onto the path of cultivation, you have been blessed by the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority. To put it bluntly, at least half of the fortune of any accomplished demonic cultivator comes from the Demon Luo Heavenly Authority! Do you still think there will be no consequences for breaking such an oath?"

The blood-colored humanoid shape was indeed the voice of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon.

"This I am well aware of, but... what I received was the blessing of the Shenshu Celestial Officer!" Tan Shuchang replied to the Secluded Spring Blood Demon's question, and as he spoke, he completely unfolded his own Star Fate Heaven and Earth.

This time, it was no longer the vague aura of Heaven's Mystery and Earth's Yellow; the two colours were distinctly visible. The appearance of the sky and the earth, though rough, already revealed a pitch-black sky and muddy yellow ground.

The power of the Heavenly Officer also became distinctly visible within it. At least in the eyes of someone like the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, it was completely visible.

"Shenshu Celestial Officer!" Stay updated through empire

Upon seeing this power of the Heavenly Officer, even the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, in his current state, couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

For the Shenshu Celestial had long since vanished!

And even the Celestial Officer who replaced Shenshu had already emerged! Under such circumstances, how could the Shenshu Celestial possibly bestow the power of the Heavenly Officer?

It is known that the Shenshu imprisoned land is partly forged from the Shenshu Celestial itself.

Although the Shenshu Celestial still bears a name among the various Heavenly Officers, its form has long dissipated. Those Daoist traditions that once adhered to the Shenshu Celestial either fell to the imprisoned land, unable to cultivate, or switched allegiances to other Heavenly Officers.

Thus, seeing this power of the Shenshu Celestial, for the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, was like seeing a person who had been dead for a long time, whose body was cremated, buried, then dug up and had their ashes scattered, yet miraculously appeared intact before his very eyes!

At this moment, Tan Shuchang stepped forward, placing his hand on the blood-coloured humanoid shape.

His movement wasn't quick; even the entire process was at a normal speed, yet the blood-coloured humanoid form made no attempt to flee.

Because the suppression of the Two Phases of Water and Fire was only superficial!

The Secluded Spring Blood Demon's appearance was not of his own volition, he had been completely forced out by Tan Shuchang.

Now, as Tan Shuchang placed his palm on the blood-coloured figure, a twisted blood-coloured shadow was immediately pulled out of it by him.

As this blood-coloured shadow was extracted, the humanoid blood figure immediately seemed to be in excruciating pain.

The presence of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon, in particular, immediately became incredibly feeble.

For this was his last blood body!

Once the blood-coloured shadow was removed, it began shrinking uncontrollably, eventually reducing to the size of a palm. Originally humanoid, it now took the form of a left arm.

Tan Shuchang was not surprised by this.

With a backhanded grab, he released several streaks of blood light.

Among these blood lights were a torso with legs, a head, and a right arm—the blood bodies Tan Shuchang had seized from the Secluded Spring Blood Demon on two separate occasions.

These blood bodies resembled coagulated, viscous blood serum with fine patterns on them.

These were the vein patterns of the Blood Spring.

They were also proof of the Secluded Spring Blood Demon's rise from within the Blood Spring. Each pattern could be said to encompass a blood-path principle.

It was by virtue of these patterns, each embodying a principle of the blood path, that the Secluded Spring Blood Demon was so fearsome!

"Tan, my friend, please return my blood body..." Having lost the last part of his blood body, the Secluded Spring Blood Demon suddenly became very frightened. He had never before considered that his blood body could be taken from him, nor did he realize that the impact of losing it would be so profound.
