Cosmic Demon

Chapter 267 Rainstorm Unlocks [Ultimate Skill]!
The heavy, cloud-like fluctuations of the mind covered an area of ​​over a thousand meters around.

The mental force interfered with matter, and the friction between the atmosphere and the flames blazed, causing a thunderous roar, just like a huge thunderstorm brewing and bursting forth!
The unstable spatial structure shattered in an instant, turning into a dense void, as if it had been torn apart from the inside!
"Third-level! They have no sportsmanship at all, just loitering around guarding the gate!"

Qin Shi was startled, but fortunately he had been on guard. His body reacted instinctively, and he responded almost instantly.

It was as if a valve had been opened, and the life force accumulated in the body-cultivating furnace surged forth with unparalleled power, like a flood pouring out of a dam!

Wow!
The life force, with its purity reaching the limit of mortal bodies, releases wisps of light and heat that seem almost tangible!

The void space was instantly stained with a layer of intense platinum color. Qin Shi stood in place, his posture upright, just like the bright and shining sun rising!
His eyes were icy cold, his fingers clenched, and he threw a straight punch into the sky!
Every gust of air seemed to freeze, and the terrifying force manifested a violent state, like a derailed train flattening everything.

The vast emptiness within hundreds of meters around it resembled a block of hard ice being smashed by a sledgehammer!
Click, click, click!

The cracking sounds were incessant!
The fifteen-fold amplification effect unfolds in an instant!

Facing a terrifyingly powerful enemy at the third level, Qin Shi had no illusions and went all out!
Boom!
That heavy, cloud-like emotional fluctuation exploded in the air, scattering like torn cotton wool!
The air was pushed aside by the fist, and amidst the ruins, a hunched figure appeared, crawling on the ground, its resentful eyes fixed on Qin Shi:

"Damn human scum! What have you done to my Gyan!"

The high priest Nathan roared like a beast. He could not accept that the "Spider Queen" he had chosen and raised had turned into a female creature!
"Tsk! Even theocratic rulers can't avoid liking little boys?"

Qin Shi smirked as he turned to look at Jaina, whose female characteristics were becoming increasingly apparent, her long hair reaching her waist.

The latter shrank his neck, and for some reason, Qin Shi seemed to have a "kind and benevolent face" compared to Nasen, the chief priest of his clan.

"Did they launch a high-yield missile at the White Poplar Fortress?"

Qin Shi stared at the collapsed administrative building and muttered to himself. He hadn't been at that door for long, yet the Spider-Man's Nest had turned into scorched earth.

"I will make you experience a feeling like falling into hell, a pain worse than death!"

A third of the body beneath the high priest Nathan's robe had been vaporized, leaving only the upper half intact.

Fortunately, it is a psionic pathway and does not care about the physical body. As long as the spirit is immortal, survival is guaranteed.

The moment the words were spoken, the heavy, cloud-like fluctuations of the mind unfolded once more, and the extremely refined spiritual light spread across the sky!
Like countless wildly waving tentacles, they instantly dragged Qin Shi into the consciousness space!

The latter's perspective shifted, and a chilling, icy mental force enveloped him like an all-pervasive, biting wind.

From all directions, it was crimson like blood, with viscous liquid dripping continuously, like a boundless torrential downpour!

blah blah blah!
Large drops of blood splattered and shattered, like a moist, slippery mist, staining Qin Shi red.

"I can't wait to hear your wails!"

Nathan's mental fluctuations permeated the space of consciousness, like a high and mighty god casting down his gaze.

Qin Shi felt as insignificant as an ant in an instant. The blood rain was pouring down, sticky and thick, almost blocking his mouth and nose.

It gave him an unprecedented feeling of suffocation, as if he were drowning.

"Suppression... I'm being suppressed. I can't figure out what this old guy's characteristics are."

Forget it, I don't want to do it that way. Just use basic attacks interspersed with regular attacks, watch my gameplay and you'll be all set!

Qin Shi originally intended to unleash his exceptional combat skills at the level of the Sun, but after activating a 15x amplification field, for some reason, his brain just became too lazy to function.

As expected, super strength and super intelligence cannot coexist!

The latter is nowhere near as useful as the former!
Qin Shi raised his hands high, as if holding up a blazing sun.

Life force is released to its fullest extent, bursting forth from every part of the body!

The moment the five fingers clenched into a fist, a strong wind arose.

Dark red torrents of rain surged upwards against the tide, while the intense and magnificent platinum radiance shone brightly, as if it were about to pierce through this space of consciousness!
Chi chi chi——

The crimson blood rain projected by mental power was instantly evaporated.

"sucker Punch!"

Nathan said dismissively.

It is the third energy level, which, when converted into human spiritual energy pathways, is the level of meditation and forgetting.

What is "sitting in oblivion"?

Those who sit in oblivion abandon their limbs, discard their intelligence, separate themselves from form and knowledge, and become one with the Great Void!
When one's spiritual cultivation reaches this stage, one's spiritual power permeates and assimilates all things, encompassing and embracing everything!

Just like the Spider Priest Nathan at this moment, its spiritual power shines brightly, and every flash of thought releases terrifying mental fluctuations.

If it weren't for Qin Shi's divine presence within the inner realm, opening up the sea of ​​consciousness, and the immunity and resistance provided by the pillar of [Taiyi], it would be impossible.

In an instant, his mind will be brutally twisted, and he will become a slave who obeys his every word!

The most frightening aspect of the psychic path lies here!

Silently, manipulating minds, hypnotizing others, and achieving one's goals!
Qin Shi focused his mind and unleashed a powerful finishing move, but it failed to truly harm Nasen!
The space of consciousness was squeezed and cracked by the intense platinum color, but it was not completely dissolved!

Nathan's mental fortitude was like a tough membrane, slowly repairing his consciousness space, which resembled a shattered eggshell.

During the Qin Dynasty, the people were still in a "cage"!
The fiery punch, radiating platinum light, seemed to crash into a vast ocean; even if it stirred up towering waves, it would be to no avail.

"My power is being absorbed?"

After Qin Shi threw this punch, he clearly felt his mortal body weaken.

The surging vitality seemed to have been partially drained, its momentum instantly plummeting, no longer possessing the grandeur and magnificence it had before.

"The characteristics of the human-faced spider are 'super digestion' and 'powerful corrosion'."

"This old guy pulled me into his consciousness space, constantly stimulating me. Is he trying to make me unleash my life force so he can slowly 'devour' me and digest me?"

A look of understanding flashed in Qin Shi's eyes. He activated the [Insight] achievement, and the long rectangular box locked onto the hidden High Priest Nathan.

"Five limits, perfect harmony of body and mind, fifteenfold amplification..."

Qin Shi took a deep breath, bathed in the raging blood rain, and silently activated the "Military Strategy". Countless life nodes lit up one by one, like the engines of a space battleship, bursting out with dazzling light!
"What's this kid trying to do? Still not giving up?"

High Priest Nathan was taken aback; the characteristic he had acquired was "Demon Devouring".

Once trapped in the consciousness space it constructs, every release of life force will be absorbed and assimilated until complete death.

Currently, no one below the professional level 5 dan has been able to escape.

"Could such a stimulus allow me to achieve a twentyfold increase?"

During the Qin Dynasty, the mind and body merged in perfect harmony, and the "Strategic Warfare" personally created by General Qin was most capable of stimulating the potential of life.

Purity resides in the third dimension, where flesh and cells in the crystalline stage continuously condense into strands of substantial light.

Intense energy is condensing and contracting, as if collapsing inward.

Snap, snap!
Qin Shifan's body seemed to shatter, with shocking marks appearing on his skin.

It seemed like it was about to fall apart at any moment!
Under such extreme pressure, some kind of substance seemed to slowly condense within Qin Shi's body!
"Perfect core, continue the transformation!"

Qin Shi's mental energy was exceptionally concentrated, and his long-dormant spiritual cultivation was also catalyzed.

The vast life force, like a mighty river, was poured into that perfect core that governed the four inheritances, helping it to go even further.

"Damn human scum! To actually go this far!"

Seeing Qin Shi's momentum steadily rising, High Priest Nathan panicked. If it were any other professional, their minds would have been twisted and they would have gone mad.

But this human was unaffected by mental interference, able to concentrate fully within his own consciousness, attempting to break through the immense pressure! "I won't let you have your way!"

Nathan's eyes were cold, and he let out a dark, eerie laugh.

In an instant, the intense and icy fluctuations of the mind spread like dark clouds, obscuring the surrounding landscape, and the torrential rain of blood transformed into sharp red spears that shot down in a barrage!

Upon reaching the level of "sitting in oblivion," the mind already possesses the power to transform the abstract into the concrete.

Thousands of red spears emitted a cold light and exploded with a thunderous roar!

bang bang bang-

To Nathan's surprise, Qin Shi did not put up any resistance, letting the red spears pierce his mortal body!

A sharp pain swept through my entire body!
The monument panel pops up lines of information—

[Armor-stacking achievement progress increased by 5%...]

[Armor-stacking achievement progress increased by 10%...]

[Armor-stacking achievement progress increased by 20%...]

[Unlock skill when taking more than 50% of your health in a single instance of damage!]

[Mastery!]

The excruciating pain, like being pierced by a thousand arrows, gave Qin Shi an unusually pleasant and exhilarating feeling.

Every injury, when felt in the mortal body, provides a significant boost to progress.

With continued effort, the "breakthrough process," which had initially seemed somewhat beyond our capabilities, suddenly became much smoother!

"It turns out to be a breakthrough achievement. I almost thought I had awakened some amazing and strange hobby."

Qin Shi fully enjoyed this experience until his mortal body was covered with countless red spears, when the pain reached its peak.

[Layered Armor] Achieve a breakthrough and unlock brand new skills!
"No movement?"

After several minutes of continuous bombardment, Qin Shi's life force grew weaker and weaker, almost like a candle flickering in the wind.

Finally, it teetered on the brink of collapse and then suddenly went out!

Even though the High Priest Nathan's mental fluctuations enveloped the consciousness space, covering every inch of it, and his perception was so subtle, he could not detect even the slightest trace of life force.

The mortal body of Qin Shi was silent, as if dead.

"Something's not right! If this human scum dies, his flesh and blood essence, his life radiance, should all be returned to him..."

As Nathan wondered, a soft sound, like a bubble being popped, echoed through the air.

Each sharp red spear, forged from fresh blood, slowly melted like a candle thrown into a steel furnace.

It was then absorbed by the mortal body, leaving not a trace!
Like a rotten log or a stubborn rock, Qin Shi, who was silent and lifeless, raised his eyelids.

His eyes were dazzling, like two large stars, shooting out a straight beam of light several meters long!

"It was a truly satisfying 'beating'."

Qin Shi let out a long sigh of relief, pouring all his life force into "The Art of War," breaking through the five hundred nodes and reaching a new stage.

His life potential burst forth, continuously filling his body, allowing him to take another solid step forward.

"It's my turn."

During the Qin Dynasty, he was at his peak, his mortal body and spirit in perfect harmony.

The flow of platinum-gold light created a bizarre and wondrous spectacle, as if a blazing sun were rising from behind, illuminating all directions.

With a casual grab, his incredibly fragile consciousness space was torn apart, transforming into a jet-black spear.

Fine, thread-like cracks, like snakes winding their way out, exude an aura of terror.

call out!
Qin Shi assumed a standard throwing stance, and the jet-black spear flew like lightning!
"We have to get out of there!"

The High Priest Nathan's mind trembled violently, issuing a warning.

The mental cultivation at the level of "sitting in oblivion" is no longer afraid of ordinary physical attacks. Even if artillery fire and bombardment are used to saturate the ground, they cannot harm the mind and consciousness.

This is also an advantage of the psionic approach.

Once you reach a higher level, the impact on the battlefield is several times greater than that of martial arts!

However, Qin Shi's attack did not originate from martial arts. He forcibly separated a portion of Nathan's mental energy from his consciousness space and transformed it into a pitch-black spear!

"As long as you can't escape my consciousness, all your struggles are in vain!"

Nathan's mind raced, and his highly refined spiritual power suddenly dispersed like clouds and mist, effortlessly avoiding Qin Shi's killing move!
Bang!
Beneath the dull, thunderous explosion, Nathan's seemingly indestructible spirit was on the verge of shattering!
The jet-black spear exploded with a bang, scattering the condensed spiritual energy in all directions!
The excruciating pain reverberated through Nathan's mind, causing him to roar like a wild beast!
"Heh heh... I already told you, it was all just your dying struggle!"

Nathan laughed furiously.

Qin Shi's spear throw did not completely destroy him; instead, it drained his power once again!
"It seems you don't understand the beauty of numbers."

Qin Shi continued his movements without stopping, his palms seemingly coiled with a savage and powerful force, his consciousness space being peeled away time and time again, transforming into one black spear after another.

This tall, upright young man, like a ruthless throwing machine, repeated his previous actions.

Every movement was so precise and flawless that it was practically perfect.

Streaks of pitch-black lightning exploded outwards!

Like a barrage of missiles, it suddenly exploded, blooming like a flower!

The "torture" experienced before the Qin Dynasty was reenacted in the High Priest Nassen.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

The intense, icy fluctuations in my mind were like a swaying ocean, stirring up turbulent waves.

This constant agony of being on the verge of "death" caused Nathan's strong and refined mental power to crumble inch by inch!
It's as if flesh and blood are being brutally torn apart, pulverized, and then reassembled.

It goes on and on, without end!

"Stop! Stop now! Stop it..."

Nathan let out a piercing scream.

"Can't you even bear this little bit of pain? My will is above yours."

Qin Shi paused for a moment, the life potential fed back from the "Art of War" seemed inexhaustible.

He grasped a jet-black spear, and a vast, invisible wave condensed and then released.

boom!
The entire space of consciousness was neatly cut apart, leaving only a distorted and inexplicably spacious passage.

It was as if a glass curtain wall had been shattered. Fragments of glass fell, brushing past Qin Shi's tall and straight figure.

He stood amidst the scorched earth and ruins, meeting Jaina's incredulous and shocked gaze, and with his five fingers outstretched, he grabbed the frail and decaying High Priest Nathan.

He slammed downwards and crashed to the ground!

Then lift your foot and step down!

The shriveled skin shattered instantly!
