In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 341 Senior Sister Lü, are you ready to receive my great magic finger?

A burst of spiritual energy flashed, and a dazzling elixir, as bright as a star, appeared in Su Yuan's hand.

[Shattered Star Serenity Pill: A spiritual pill containing the inheritance of the Shattered Star Demon Lord—the Shattered Star Serenity Domain. It can only be consumed after condensing the Shattered Star Sword Seed. After consumption, one will obtain the Shattered Star Serenity Domain, which lasts for 24 hours.]

[Shattered Star Domain: After the Shattered Star Sword Seed is upgraded, spiritual power can be converted into a Shattered Star Domain. This divine ability can create an unlimited number of impenetrable voids within a radius of 500 meters.]

Each bubble can store a large amount of vibrational mana, which will explode upon contact. The specific amount of vibrational mana stored depends on the skill level of the Heavenly Shattering Star Sword.

[Voids can merge together, and given enough time, can form a vacuole with a maximum radius of 500 meters. However, when a large vacuole explodes, the user will experience a tremendous recoil force.]

After reading the introduction of this elixir, Su Yuan nodded slightly.

The result was not beyond his expectations; the second stage of the Heavenly Shattering Star Sword was also a ranged divine power.

Perhaps there are some commonalities among the three Nascent Soul inheritances of the Evil Extermination University?
Most of the effects of the Shattered Star Domain can be seen from the battle between Yue Lan and Qi Hanyue.

The power of a super-giant cavitation bubble with a radius of 500 meters, which merges with each other, is currently unknown.

However, it is clear that this move is a double-edged sword that would inflict heavy damage on both sides, and Yue Lan, with her small stature, would not dare to use it.

Even Su Yuan only dared to use it if he had Blood Sea activated.

Therefore, it seems that Chen Nuoyi is the most suitable person to fully activate the Shattered Star Realm.

Her physical strength was too high; she was not afraid of any backlash.

Su Yuan took another Shattered Star Tranquility Pill from Yue Lan, gave it to Chen Nuoyi, and then took one for himself.

Feeling the changes in the Shattered Star Sword Seed within his body, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

The next goal is the second stage of the Divine Body Sacrifice Technique.

However, the first stage of this Divine Body Sacrifice Artifact Technique is entirely a divine power to assist in weapon crafting. Whether the second and third stages can be used in combat remains to be seen.

Moreover, among the twenty team members of Zhuxie University, the number of people from the weapon crafting department is the smallest, so it is not easy to find them in the vast eighth floor.

However, accidents always happen unexpectedly.

Just as Su Yuan was thinking about how to hunt down the senior students in the weapon crafting department, Lü Tianqiao, the big boss of the weapon crafting department, suddenly ran into Su Yuan's team.

Perhaps it's not entirely a coincidence.

"The blood-red light is soaring into the sky here. I thought it was one of the students from the Exorcism Department who had made a breakthrough. I didn't expect it to be you guys."

With a cool and aloof expression, Senior Sister Lü stood atop a wooden flying sword, looking down at Su Yuan's team and the large blood-red area ravaged by Su Yuan, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

As Su Yuan's power continues to expand, it will inevitably attract the attention of the eighth-level experts; Lü Tianqiao is just the first.

"Furthermore, you guys actually enslaved your seniors in secret, committing such heinous acts. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Lu Tianqiao quickly noticed Tu Kun and Yue Lan, who were being controlled, and her beautiful eyes flashed with anger.

Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyue turned their heads away guiltily.

Zhu Tianqing, however, remained calm and composed, saying:
"Senior Sister Lü, you must have killed or enslaved many spirit beasts during your exploration of the eighth level, right?"

"If spirit beasts can be treated this way, why can't cultivators be treated the same way?"

"Moreover, I believe that our actions are more humane. At the very least, after I have used the enslaved senior students, I will release them from my control."

"But the dead spirit beasts are truly dead. In comparison, it seems you are more cruel."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan couldn't help but glance at him.

Goodness, the Heavenly King of the Celestial Hunt strictly adheres to the principle of 'equality between humans and demons' no matter the circumstances.

I felt guilty when I was enslaving Tu Kun and Senior Yue, but you actually think there's nothing wrong with doing so.

Could this even be used as an excuse to fight?

You are the real devil!

"Strong words!"

Lü Tianqiao shouted angrily:
"If I hadn't seen it, that would have been fine, but since this happened right under my nose, I'll eliminate you all immediately!"

After saying that, the aloof senior student formed a sword-like gesture with her hand, and her tall and graceful body spontaneously combusted without any fire.

In an instant, the flames engulfed Lü Tianqiao completely, and under the astonished gazes of Su Yuan and the others, they transformed into a pool of golden spiritual spring, merging into the wooden sword beneath her feet.

After absorbing the golden spiritual spring, the wooden sword quickly transformed into a giant golden sword three zhang long.

This sword strike unleashed a power comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

"This is the second stage of the Divine Body Sacrifice Technique? It allows one to fuse their body with a magical artifact? Could this be considered a different kind of human-sword unity?"

This thought immediately popped into Su Yuan's mind.

But before he could think any further, the golden giant sword slashed down heavily, aimed directly at Su Yuan, the culprit.

At the same instant, Su Yuan suddenly felt as if he were locked on, as if all attempts to dodge were futile.

"Su Yuan!"

Chen Nuoyi stepped forward instantly, intending to block Su Yuan's path.

But as soon as she made a move, a repulsive force struck, pushing the girl away.

That was the power of Su Yuantian's Fiend Sword Technique.

The girl was surprised.

Could it be that Su Yuan has a way to withstand this sword strike from a Golden Core cultivator?
Or was he simply trying to avoid getting hurt? Just as he was wondering, the golden greatsword landed on Su Yuan's head, the two of them less than a millimeter apart.

Su Yuan, however, showed no intention of dodging, as if he was determined to fight this sword head-on.

But in the next instant, Su Yuan's head suddenly wobbled strangely, dodging the sword perfectly by the slightest difference, and his body rolled to the side as well.

[Level 1 effect of Deceitful Sword Physique: Any critical-damage attack aimed at the head (ranged/melee) will be instinctively and 100% evaded on the first hit.]

boom--

The golden giant sword struck the ground, instantly creating a huge crack more than ten meters deep.

As large numbers of the surrounding fleshy fungus died, new fleshy fungus kept filling the cracks.

There were even many fleshy tentacles clinging directly to the golden greatsword, greedily trying to squeeze into the gaps in the golden greatsword.

Unfortunately, the latter reacted too quickly, immediately drawing his sword and retreating, only getting a small patch of blood on his face, which was quickly removed by the golden light.

In short, Lu Tianqiao's sword technique, which used the power of the Divine Transformation inheritance, was easily neutralized by Su Yuan.

This left the golden greatsword momentarily hesitant, unsure whether it should unleash a second strike.

Su Yuan got up from the ground and said slowly:

"Senior Sister Lü, your sword is not fast enough, nor is it ruthless enough."

"Could this be the highest level of the weapon crafting department? It doesn't look that impressive. No wonder I could easily suppress the first and second-year students in the weapon crafting department."

"If you don't have any stronger methods, I think you should go back to the lab and work as a blacksmith."

Lu Tianqiao's displeased snort rang out from the sword:

"Su Yuan, don't be too smug. What I used was only the second stage of the Divine Transformation Inheritance of the Weapon Refining System, the Divine Body Weapon Transformation Technique."

"The third stage of the Nascent Soul inheritance, as well as the complete divine power combining the three stages, have not yet been used."

"I originally wanted you to be eliminated with dignity, but since you like humiliating defeats... I'll grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden greatsword changed once again.

The sword, which was originally made of wood, seemed to come alive again, sprouting countless emerald green branches.

A towering tree shaped like a sword quickly appeared before Su Yuan and the others.

Immediately, the branches of the towering tree came to life, like venomous snakes, stabbing at Su Yuan from all directions.

This attack, which strikes thousands of times per second and targets almost all of Su Yuan's vital points, is something that even if Su Yuan had used up the effect of "Level 1 Deceitful Sword Physique," he still wouldn't be able to dodge.

"Is this the third stage of the Divine Body Sacrifice Technique?"

"Can it give life to a magical artifact? Or can it imbue a magical artifact with the power of a certain Great Dao?"

Su Yuan was puzzled, but he retreated without hesitation.

Beneath his feet, numerous fleshy tentacles emerged from the fungal carpet, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at the verdant branches.

The Crimson Yuan Sword and the Mysterious Strange Sword were firmly held in Su Yuan's hands, one on his left and one on his right.

The corrupting sword energy of blood and the distorted power of the Xuanqi Demon Sword swiftly slashed out, cutting down branch after branch.

However, despite all the methods Su Yuan used, the number of branches he managed to block was far less than the number of branches that grew.

Inevitably, Su Yuan's arm was slightly grazed by a twig.

With just this one contact, Su Yuan's entire arm showed obvious signs of atrophy.

In that instant, most of the life force in Su Yuan's arm was absorbed by that branch.

If he were really bound by several branches, Su Yuan would probably be sucked dry in less than a second.

"Su Yuan, I know you very well."

Lu Tianqiao's cheerful voice rang out, but it sounded rather stiff, perhaps due to her deep fusion with the flying sword:
"You have a way to continuously draw upon the power of the Blood Sea to restore yourself, and perhaps the surrounding putrefactive fungus will also become one of your sources of power."

“I am very familiar with this kind of tactic, because Guo Zhengyi is very good at using this kind of tactic, so I have taken targeted precautions against it.”

"If you can't hold on, why not connect with the power of the Blood Sea to recover? Anyway, the more you recover, the more I'll extract from you!"

"After all... the Divine Body Ascension Technique consumes a lot of life force. Whenever I use it, I have to find a way to recoup my investment as much as possible."

Upon hearing these words, Su Yuan couldn't help but snort coldly:
"Trying to get something for nothing? Senior, you're pushing my limits!"

"Unfortunately, your idea is doomed to fail, because the Nascent Soul inheritance of the weapon crafting system has always been my natural counter."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Tianqiao paused for a moment.

Su Yuan has already made his move!

Demonic Art - Finger Weapon! Activate!
The affinity level of the magic item is forcibly increased!
So what if his combat strength rivals that of a Golden Core cultivator? He hasn't even truly reached the Golden Core stage yet, and the Ten Demon Fingers can still be used against this third-ranked student in the entire school.

"Well--"

The aloof senior student let out a muffled groan, her normally indifferent tone turning strange.

But this wasn't the end. Su Yuan pointed at the sword-shaped giant tree again.

Demonic Art: Beast Taming - Enslavement! Activate!
