The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 7, Chapter 07: Self-Healing Ability! Demonic Cultivation!

puff!
Li Xingzhou picked up the paper cutter and, without changing his expression, made a bloody cut on his palm. But as soon as the blood gushed out, it quickly flowed back, and the wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the knife mark on his palm disappeared, leaving only a faint white mark.

"good."

Li Xingzhou nodded in satisfaction:
"At least in terms of self-healing ability at the 'minor injury' level, it may not be worse than Wolverine's."

His self-created "Heavenly Demon Flesh Devouring" technique not only steals the essence of the target's flesh and blood, but also includes deeper "physical characteristics"—

This "special quality" includes both innate endowment, such as natural superhuman strength, and achievements acquired later in life, such as the "indestructible Vajra" and "limb regeneration" realms of body refinement cultivators, demonstrating the domineering nature of this demonic art.

Jason's physical constitution is precisely "immortal".

Of course, Jason's "immortality" is, strictly speaking, actually his ability to be resurrected and return to the world after his physical body is destroyed in reality, under certain circumstances.

As for self-healing ability...

Jason certainly has some self-healing abilities.

At least ordinary melee weapons and small-caliber pistols couldn't do anything to him.

But Jason's self-healing has its limits.

If Jason is beheaded or loses too many vital parts of his body, he will have to leave the stage and wait for another chance to be resurrected.

Even if Wolverine is cut in half, exposed to a nuclear explosion, or left with only a skeleton, or even just a drop of blood in extreme cases, he can grow back.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou has only acquired a relatively low-level self-healing ability so far.

Skin wounds caused by cold weapons can heal quickly, and ordinary small-caliber pistols pose little threat to him unless they happen to shoot him in the head.

But if he is beheaded, dismembered, or blown to pieces, he will die on the spot and will not be able to be resurrected like Jason.

There was no way around it; with his current cultivation level, even if Jason offered no resistance and he did as he pleased, he could only seize a portion of Jason's physical attributes. As for the conceptual level of "immortality and resurrection," that was currently beyond his reach.

Besides its self-healing ability.

Li Xingzhou's physical strength has also been enhanced to some extent.

The enhancement level is relatively average, but he should be able to win an award if he participates in the World's Strongest Man competition.

Furthermore, she maintains a slender and well-proportioned figure, making her appear slimmer when dressed, which is quite deceptive.

"Unfortunately, my self-created 'Four Eclipses of the Heavenly Demon' is only most effective on the first use against the same target. If it is used repeatedly afterward, it can only be used to replenish the consumed power and energy, but it cannot be strengthened again... Otherwise, with Jason's immortality, wouldn't he be like leeks, able to be harvested repeatedly?"

With a slightly regretful sigh, Li Xingzhou left Jason in the bathroom to recover and went to the small gym inside the office. After working out to get used to his enhanced strength, he sat cross-legged on the yoga mat to meditate.

Half an hour later.

Li Xingzhou opened his eyes and muttered to himself:
"How interesting! The laws of heaven and earth are so lenient... Internal energy, spiritual energy, and primordial spirit can all exist, and it seems that blood and qi martial arts are also possible... No wonder this world has magic, martial arts, superpowers, and super technology, and you can easily mutate into a superhuman just by being exposed to radiation, soaking in chemical solutions, or getting bitten by an insect... The spacetime barrier also seems extremely weak, which is very advantageous for time travel..."

Such a world is bound to be a chaotic mess of demons.

However, for Li Xingzhou, it was like a fish in water.

At least, it will be much easier to cultivate.

For example, just now, he tried to circulate the internal energy cultivation method of martial arts and quickly condensed the first wisp of true energy.

Afterwards, he tried to sense the spiritual energy and draw it into his body. He quickly sensed the presence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and successfully absorbed it, refining a trace of spiritual power. He thus re-entered the path of "Qi Refining".

However, True Qi Martial Arts and Blood Qi Martial Arts can be rapidly improved based on physical condition and martial arts accumulation, and one can cultivate Qi to become an immortal... If one honestly meditates and cultivates Qi, no matter how high one's talent, how rich one's cultivation experience, how profound one's foundation of skills, or how lenient the laws of heaven and earth, it is truly unknown how many years and months it would take to return to the supreme human realm and half-step ascension state of the previous life.

After all, this world probably doesn't have as many rare and precious materials and elixirs as the cultivation world.

Fortunately, the need for various "experience pills" in demonic cultivation is not limited to natural treasures such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

For example, Jason can temporarily serve as an experience pill for the initial stage of his body-refining cultivation.

And Freddy's nightmare should also be able to help his spiritual cultivation.

Besides these two, there are undoubtedly many more experience pills in this world—even if Li Xingzhou were to change his path to righteousness in this life, as everyone knows, hell is empty and demons are twirling.

On this vast and beautiful land of freedom, the air is filled with the smells of gunpowder, gunpowder, and the sweet aroma of opium. All sorts of gangsters, thugs, villains, supervillains, and demons live freely here. Even cosmic overlords and otherworldly gods and demons that are eyeing Earth with covetous intent... they should all be present.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to it.

Qi cultivation is too slow, and results will not be seen in the short term.

True Qi martial arts cultivation is far faster than Qi Refining Immortal Cultivation, and it can serve as a prerequisite for Immortal Cultivation. Li Xingzhou has had several lifetimes where he started as a mortal martial artist, first practicing martial arts to reach the "Innate" realm, and then using martial arts to enter the Dao, seamlessly connecting to Qi Refining cultivation. Therefore, his foundation is extremely solid, his progress in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining is extremely rapid, and his combat power is far stronger than that of Qi Refining cultivators of the same realm.

However, no matter how fast you cultivate martial arts, if you want to develop true qi that can be used in actual combat, it will take at least ten days to half a month to cultivate it honestly on your own.

Since he had to accompany Iriana to work that evening, Li Xingzhou was too lazy to cultivate slowly and decided to use a demonic technique called "Seven Stars Burning Blood Technique" to quickly master it.

This demonic method involves pushing one's potential beyond its limits, burning one's vital energy to gain power, and rapidly acquiring considerable power in a very short time.

However, this method comes at an extremely high price. For ordinary people, or even martial arts masters without special physical abilities, using this technique would inevitably lead to exhaustion and death within seven days.

This method is tantamount to suicide. Unless one is desperate or determined to die with the enemy, almost no one would use it.

However, Li Xingzhou now possesses a certain degree of self-healing ability and can also replenish his energy with Jason, so this consequence is essentially non-existent for him.

Li Xingzhou then took off his shirt, revealing his well-defined muscles. He sat cross-legged on the yoga mat, regulated his breathing for a while, and then, with his fingers like swords, stabbed seven key acupoints, including Guanyuan, Qihai, and Tanzhong.

After the last finger is inserted into the Baihui acupoint.

In an instant, Li Xingzhou was drenched in sweat, his skin quickly turned bright red, and then steam rose from his body, making him look as if he had been put into a steamer.

But he remained expressionless, showing no sign of pain. He only slightly furrowed his brow before focusing intently on circulating his inner energy.

Soon, the energy derived from burning the blood and qi throughout the body, and even the original primordial energy, quickly surged into the dantian and condensed into strands of pure true qi.

The true energy continued to grow stronger, and in a short while, a true energy vortex formed in the dantian. Under Li Xingzhou's guidance, it began to flow into the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians in turn, tempering the meridians and acupoints.

He practiced until noon in one go.

Li Xingzhou became even thinner, looking like a paper doll that could be blown away by a gust of wind.

However, after he stopped exercising.

The self-healing ability began to take effect, and the paper-thin body slowly began to expand again, quickly returning to its original shape.

Of course, his original vital energy was depleted, and with only this relatively low-level self-healing ability, it would probably take at least ten days to half a month to fully replenish his vital energy.

But he wasn't worried at all. He got up and went to the bathroom, where he used "Heavenly Demon Flesh Erosion" on Jason to easily replenish his depleted energy.

Poor Jason had already become as thin as a dried corpse after taking a dose of the Heavenly Demon Flesh-Eating Poison. Half a day was far from enough for him to recover. Now, after taking another dose, he looked like a skinned skeleton and lay motionless on the ground like a corpse.

Li Xingzhou dragged him out of the bathroom, threw him into the bedroom and let him lie on the floor to recover slowly. He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then came out to check the results of his cultivation.
