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

Chapter 343: Initial Accumulation Completed! Time to Start Fishing! (4K, Please Subscribe!)

After reading the dog system's introduction to the 'Divine Imperial Pill', Su Yuan was deeply shocked.

The effects contained in this elixir allowed him to truly experience the extraordinary nature of a complete Nascent Soul inheritance.

That was a power that no stage of the Divine Body Sacrifice Artifact Technique could match; it was a qualitative change resulting from the complete fusion of the three stages of the Divine Transformation inheritance.

The dog system's rating of 'Divine Guardian' was also something Su Yuan had never seen before.

It's not dazzling, nor unique, but rather somewhere in between, a "previously unique" piece with a light red hue.

[Divine Protection (Formerly Unique): One of the core divine abilities of the Divine Protection Demon Lord.]

What does "previously unique" mean?

As the name suggests, this supernatural power was once unique, but with the development of the times and the popularization of the Divine Transformation lineage, its uniqueness disappeared.

Even so, it is certain that this supernatural power surpasses the dazzling colors.

The effect of Divine Protection is singular.

After a user sacrifices at least a quarter of their own or another cultivator's life force, they can forcibly absorb a certain Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from their surroundings and infuse it into a magical artifact, thus raising the artifact's power to its limit.

The more lives sacrificed, the more of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can be obtained.

In this effect, the amplification of magical artifacts is secondary; the truly important effect is the absorption of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Even if you don't have any magical weapons, using just one of the major paths to attack someone is still quite brutal.

For example, Lü Tianqiao didn't have time to use her divine power.

Her wooden sword had already been controlled by Su Yuan using the Demonic Art of Finger Weapon and the Demonic Art of Finger Beast, but if she wanted to, she could easily grasp the power of a certain Great Dao and swing it at Su Yuan.

For example, by mobilizing the power of the Earth Dao, Lü Tianqiao's casual palm strike could contain the weight of a mountain, enough to turn Su Yuan into mincemeat with a single slap.

This made Su Yuan feel a little scared.

Fortunately, his night raid was not exposed to anyone beforehand, catching Lü Tianqiao off guard. Otherwise, if he had been allowed to make his move, he would have been in disarray.

Of course, this is, after all, a divine inheritance of the art of weapon crafting. Although it can be used without a magic weapon, its effect is best when aided by a magic weapon.

As for how to use it in conjunction with magic weapons, it is to forcibly use high-level magic weapons.

Take, for example, the Zijin Beam that Long Bai owns.

This is a divine weapon that has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and it contains the Great Dao of change, which can be adjusted in size at will.

Logically speaking, with Su Yuan's small frame, let alone activating the Great Dao of Change within it and making the stick the size he wanted, he would have a hard time even lifting this stick, which normally weighs 13,500 jin.

However, once he activates the Divine Control on the Zijin Beam of the Sea, he can forcibly drive the Great Dao of Change within it and command this divine weapon to fight for him.

What does it mean for a Nascent Soul level staff to appear in a Foundation Establishment stage battle?
Once this stick becomes enormous, it could be thrown to the ground and rolled twice, enough to crush a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators to death.

Similarly, the spatial Dao and the blood Dao contained within the Calamity Moon Pearl can also be mobilized by the Divine Control and used by Su Yuan.

Holding the golden elixir in his hand, which resembled pure gold, Su Yuan smiled slightly.
"Finally, I have obtained the last piece of the puzzle for the current combat system."

"That kid Xuan Haoran doesn't restrict the use of magic weapons, right? Then don't blame me for using divine equipment to blast fish."

Looking at Su Yuan, whose smile had taken on a slightly sinister edge, Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyue exchanged glances, a bad feeling creeping over them.

It seems that Su Yuan is about to pull off something big again.

"Su Yuan, what exactly are the effects of the human pill extracted from Senior Sister Lü?"

Chen Nuoyi asked nervously.

Don't you dare develop some strange uses for this perfectly good Divine Transformation inheritance again.

Su Yuan smiled and said:

"It's nothing, just a supernatural ability that's very suitable for me."

"With this supernatural power, we can directly and quickly reach the eighth level. Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai are nothing but chickens and dogs in my eyes."

With a confident expression, he extended his hand to the three girls and solemnly asked:
"Would you be willing to join me in turning this sword-testing tournament upside down?"

"hiss--"

The three girls gasped.

Oh no! Su Yuan has put on an act; this is not a good sign!

Zhu Tianqing said cautiously:

"Tell me what you're going to do now."

Su Yuan said calmly:
"It's simple. If senior students Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai don't come towards us, then we'll go towards them."

"Given their strength, I'd guess their battleground is in the center of the eighth floor."

"Let's move forward quickly now, without worrying about any small fry along the way."

Zhu Tianqing exclaimed in surprise:

"Are you planning to take on two people at once?"

"Su Yuan, calm down. Although you stole Senior Sister Lü's Divine Power through some evil means, Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai possess supernatural powers that are no less powerful than Divine Power."

"You're only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, how could you possibly defeat the combined forces of the two giants from the Demon Extermination University?"

Su Yuan smiled faintly, his expression enigmatic:
"You will know after you fight the two senior students."

The three girls looked at each other, but Chen Nuoyi made the first decision, and the group set off quickly.

Of course, they did not abandon the flesh-and-flesh fungus blanket they had laid out earlier as they moved forward.

Wherever Su Yuan went, a corrupting light would sweep across, forming a blood-red road beneath his feet that connected with the decaying fungal carpet.

From God's perspective, it's like a drop of blood on a piece of white paper, with a thin 'tail' that keeps getting longer and longer.

As long as this tail connects them, the power of flesh and blood contained within the putrefactive fungal carpet will always be at Su Yuan's disposal.

Traveling at an extremely rapid pace along a near-straight line, the team quickly arrived at the center of the eighth floor.

There, there is a spiral staircase that leads straight to the sky.

Following the stairs, you can go directly to the ninth floor or go down to the eighth floor.

However, to prevent students on different floors from visiting each other, the entrances to the upper and lower floors of the tower are sealed off and will only be opened when Xuan Haoran breaks into the tower.

It was here that Su Yuan's team met two people they had expected.

It was Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai.

One of them stood on a carpet of flesh and blood with a diameter of one kilometer, while the other stood within an invisible and intangible realm of shattered stars.

The two people's decaying fungal carpet and the Shattered Star Domain were like two adjacent domains, competing with each other and devouring one another.

However, it is clear that Guo Zhengyi, the second strongest in the Federation, is much stronger. His flesh and blood carpet has already invaded the Shattered Star Quiet Domain and continues to advance despite the repeated shocks.

Jiang Taibai, who was at a disadvantage, had a cold expression, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes. Guo Zhengyi keenly noticed the change in Jiang Taibai's eyes and said with a smile:
"Old Jiang, didn't we agree that I would be the one guarding this level, and you and Lü Tianqiao would be responsible for assisting me in building the battlefield environment?"

“I know that you and Lü Tianqiao both want to compete with me before you assist me, otherwise you won’t be willing to withdraw from the competition.”

“But normally, it takes the two of you working together to contend with me. Now that Lü Tianqiao is late, why are you still trying to compete with me?”

"Why don't you stop fighting in this sword-testing tournament, and we can compete again later?"

Jiang Taibai didn't speak, but his flickering eyes showed that he was thinking.

As one of the three giants of the Demon Extermination University, he was naturally unwilling to give up the competition easily.

However, the gap in strength between him and Guo Zhengyi is a real and undeniable fact.

After all, although he, Guo Zhengyi, and Lü Tianqiao were known as the three giants, Guo Zhengyi was the second in the Federation, while he was only the twelfth, and Lü Tianqiao was only ranked eighteenth.

With a difference of more than ten places, how could the gap in strength be small?

Only by joining forces with Lü Tianqiao can he barely contend with Guo Zhengyi.

However, something went wrong on Lü Tianqiao's side. They had agreed to meet at the center of the eighth floor, but there has been no movement since.

Was it a stroke of luck, or did something unexpected happen?
No... Impossible. A college student who has mastered the complete Divine Transformation inheritance is on a completely different level from someone who hasn't.

Once she unleashes her divine power, even if all the other students on the eighth floor were bundled together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat her alone. How could she possibly encounter any accidents?

Just as Jiang Taibai was puzzled about Lü Tianqiao's whereabouts and hesitated about whether to call a truce, a figure suddenly appeared, interrupting his thoughts.

He and Guo Zhengyi looked at the newcomer together.

This person was none other than Su Yuan, the genius student of the Exorcism Department whom he had met not long ago.

"Junior Brother Su Yuan? What are you doing here?"

Guo Zhengyi kindly reminded him:
"Your current level is not up to par with the battles between me and Lao Jiang and the others. Why don't you go to a more remote area and compete with the other third- and fourth-year students?"

"If you get involved by accident, you'll be seriously injured."

Jiang Taibai didn't speak, but it was clear that he shared the same meaning as Guo Zhengyi.

Su Yuan smiled slightly and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, senior brothers, but I did not wander into this place by mistake. I came here specifically to find you two."

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the two giants of the Demon Extermination faction immediately sharpened.

They sensed a threat in Su Yuan's tone.

It was only then that they finally noticed that blood was spreading beneath Su Yuan's feet.

And in the shadows behind him, there was a long, blood-red path, its destination unknown.

"This is... the Mysterious Light of Transformation?"

Guo Zhengyi immediately recognized the source of the decaying fungal carpet and exclaimed in surprise:
"You defeated a student who had mastered the second stage of the Demon-Slaying Nascent Soul inheritance?"

Guo Zhengyi was familiar with Su Yuan's method of making elixirs, as Su Yuan had demonstrated this miraculous skill more than once during the monthly exams.

The video of Su Yuanyue taking the exam had already spread to the campus network and could not be kept secret from others.

So, was it the Transformation of Corruption Mystic Light that gave Su Yuan the confidence to challenge himself?
Guo Zhengyi smiled and shook his head, thinking that Su Yuan was simply ignorant and fearless.

It should be noted that Guo Zhengyi not only mastered the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Lord of Corruption, but also pushed it to a certain limit within the same level.

Otherwise, how could he occupy the second position in the Federation when the levels of the Nascent Soul inheritance are basically equal?
Therefore, from any perspective, Guo Zhengyi is Su Yuan's superior, and Su Yuan could never rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

“Su Yuan, you are very talented, but you are far from being able to challenge me. You should go back to the track you belong to and train.”

Guo Zhengyi kindly offered his advice.

Su Yuan's smile remained unchanged as he calmly said:

"I think Senior Guo has misunderstood something. I'm not just here to challenge you, but to challenge both you and Senior Jiang at the same time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taibai frowned deeply:
"Su Yuan, Guo Zhengyi has already advised you twice. Things shouldn't be done more than three times. I hope you won't make a mistake."

Su Yuan said helplessly:
"It seems you two don't trust my abilities. Alright then, I'll show you the evidence..."

As he spoke, Su Yuan clapped his hands lightly.

The next second, a figure with a cool and aloof demeanor and a slender figure appeared behind him.

Upon seeing that incredibly familiar figure, Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai's expressions changed drastically, and they blurted out:
"Lü Tianqiao!"

Indeed, the person who came was Lü Tianqiao.

Furthermore, Guo and Jiang could clearly see that Lü Tianqiao's eyes, which should have been full of elegance and wisdom behind her gold-rimmed glasses, had become dull and lifeless.

It was as if they were being controlled by some force.

Furthermore, Lü Tianqiao completely changed her clothes, both inside and out.

It's unimaginable where her original clothes went, or what she went through during the time she lost them to become like this.

"The three giants of Zhuxie University refer to three prodigies who mastered the three complete Nascent Soul inheritances while still in school."

Su Yuan suddenly said something out of the blue.

As he spoke, he walked over to Lü Tianqiao, raised his hand and pinched the chin of this intellectual-looking woman with glasses, activating the Spirit-Pointing Pill once again.

Under the eerie gazes of Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai, specks of spiritual light emanated from Lü Tianqiao's body.

The woman with the gold-rimmed glasses quickly weakened, while Su Yuan held a pill that looked like pure gold in his hand, which he casually swallowed.

"I just ate one of these pills."

Su Yuan played with the Divine Imperial Golden Pill and said calmly:
"So the current situation is that Senior Sister Lü has withdrawn from the competition, and I have taken over the Divine Transformation Inheritance, Divine Control, that she possessed."

"I am one of the new three giants of the Demon Extermination University. Isn't it reasonable for me to challenge the other two giants?"

Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai exchanged a glance, a strong impulse rising within them.

An impulse to kill Su Yuan with a single sword strike and save Lü Tianqiao.

Even though their rationality told them that Su Yuan was their junior, their emotions told them that Su Yuan was a complete and utter devil.

This demon is a hundred times more evil than the demons they encountered in the world previously occupied by the demonic path!

Driven by this emotion, Guo Zhengyi and Jiang Taibai almost instantly switched to fighting expressions.

"Su Yuan, you've gone too far!"

“Although we don’t know how you managed to assassinate Lü Tianqiao to this extent, now that we have witnessed all of this, we will never allow you to commit even greater evils!”

"Your monstrous deeds end here!"

As they spoke, Guo Zhengyi's Corrosive Fungal Carpet and Jiang Taibai's Shattered Star Domain rapidly crushed towards Su Yuan.
