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

Chapter 508 It's just a Fallen God Pill, why should I avoid its sharp edge? (2.6K)

Before the fairy of spiritual medicine could finish speaking, streaks of jet-black lines appeared on the surface of her white skeleton beneath her numb robe.

They flowed like trickles down the mountainside, converging at the ends of the bones to form drops of black liquid.

The moment these liquids appeared, both Su Yuan and Gui Yuan felt an intense sense of crisis.

The Fallen God Pill!
The term he had heard from the Fairy of Spirit Medicine immediately came to Su Yuan's mind.

Although these pitch-black liquids are not finished pills, they must be the medicinal liquid transformed from the Fallen God Pill.

Even a powerful being like a Nascent Soul cultivator would die upon contact.

Clearly, the effects of the Fallen God Pill are not limited to Nascent Soul cultivators. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Su Yuan would likely be instantly reduced to pus if he were to come into contact with even a tiny bit of it.

"retreat."

Gui Yuan immediately shielded Su Yuan behind her and retreated rapidly.

Even though she was moving very fast, the black liquid changed even faster.

The moment it was born, it burst into a poisonous mist that even cultivators could hardly distinguish, and it pursued Guiyuan at an eerily fast speed.

The medicinal power of the Fallen God Pill seems to be born to kill Nascent Soul cultivators. It has its own will and will use every bit of its power to kill Nascent Soul cultivators.

This one move alone made Su Yuan realize the power of the Spirit Medicine Fairy.

She was by no means an ordinary person among the thirty-six Nascent Soul cultivators of the ancient human race, but rather a hexagonal powerhouse who had attained Nascent Soul status through alchemy and medicine.

"I am immune to all external toxins within a ten-meter radius around me."

Gui Yuan invoked the authority of the Holy Law Heavenly Lord and calmly issued a holy decree.

However, something surprising happened: the poisonous mist, which had broken into countless tiny particles, only paused briefly ten meters away from Gui Yuan before forcefully squeezing in.

They seemed to disregard the imperial edict.

Su Yuan's gaze narrowed slightly as he quickly considered the cause of the phenomenon before him.

"Could it be that, in order to evade the influence of the sacred decree of the Returning Kite, these poisonous fogs have temporarily transformed themselves into pure, natural, and pollution-free green food?"

Such a guess arose in Su Yuan's mind.

Gui Yuan once told him that the effect of her holy law was absolute; once it was spoken, even a powerful being like the Boundless Calamity Venerable had to obey it.

However, the imperial edict is not invincible. The stronger the enemy, the more qualifiers she must add to her edicts, otherwise this method will inevitably fail.

Otherwise, she could have given herself an invincible imperial edict throughout the entire cultivation world, but that would have been unrealistic.

When dealing with enemies below the Nascent Soul stage, Guiyuan can basically make her words law, saying whatever she wants.

However, when facing a powerful figure of the same level as the Fairy of Spiritual Medicine, many more qualifiers need to be added when issuing a decree.

Within a ten-meter radius around her, external forces are limited to poison; this was the description of the decree she had just issued.

Even if a new imperial edict is issued immediately, all the necessary qualifying terms will still be included.

Therefore, Gui Yuan decisively abandoned the fight against the poisonous mist of the Meteor God Pill and retreated rapidly with Su Yuan.

“Guiyuan, you have become weak. You used to not add so many restrictions when you issued orders.”

"It seems that in the process of fighting against the Boundless Calamity Venerable, you not only did not become stronger, but were weakened again and again, and you seem to be no different from me."

The Fairy of Spirit Medicine laughed shrilly, her cold eyes fixed on Su Yuan.

"You must be Su Yuan, the young genius wanted by the Boundless Calamity Venerable. If I kill you, the Boundless Calamity Venerable will at least reduce my offerings by five thousand years."

"You and Gui Yuan are both going to die!"

As she spoke, the medicinal liquid of the Fallen God Pill continuously seeped from the skeleton of the Spirit Medicine Fairy. As soon as this liquid was formed, it seemed to evaporate and merged into the dark universe.

The poisonous fog's corrosive speed was far faster than the kites' retreat speed.

If only Gui Yuan and Su Yuan were to face the Spirit Medicine Fairy, their chances of survival might truly be slim.

Unfortunately, they weren't fighting as a pair.

Zheng——

Three clear, almost overlapping sword cries suddenly rang out in the silent space.

In the next instant, three sword lights pierced through the void and appeared before the Spirit Medicine Fairy's true form.

The first sword strike was delivered by the swordswoman with long, straight black hair. When the sword's edge struck the space surrounding the Fairy of Spirit Medicine, the space froze, causing the latter's movements to suddenly stiffen.

The second sword strike was delivered by the proud swordswoman with short, blood-red hair, swiftly and accurately piercing the heart of the Spirit Medicine Fairy.

Dark red tentacles, like fungal hyphae, crawled all over the latter's body, not only devouring her cultivation but also binding her so she couldn't move. The third sword strike was unleashed by the tall, mature swordswoman; a huge golden sword of light, like the sun, illuminated the surrounding dark universe and struck the Spirit Medicine Fairy's head.

With a single slash, the head of the Fairy of Spirit Medicine was split in two along the midline, the blade of the lightsaber extending from the top of her head all the way to her chest and abdomen.

With one sword to control, one sword to weaken, and one sword to inflict injury, the Spirit Medicine Fairy's momentum plummeted to rock bottom after just three sword strikes, and she suffered severe injuries from her physical body to her primordial spirit.

"Wow, senior, you probably have Stockholm syndrome."

"The Immeasurable Lord of All Calamities has abused you so much, yet you are still willing to serve him and help him harm the loyal and good. You have truly fallen into evil!"

An Xingran dropped her pretense about herself and Shen Zhou, the Sword Master of the Demon-Slaying Sword, her pretty face showing a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Hmph, so you didn't come alone after all? Guiyuan, not only has your strength weakened, but your personality has also become weak."

The fairy maiden's lips, split in two, hummed, emitting a cold sound:
“You young people know nothing. You have no idea how powerful the Boundless Calamity Venerable is.”

"Rather than letting my spiritual medicine domain be affected because of pity for you poor wretches who are destined to die for your ideals, I'd rather let you die in a more meaningful way."

"Elixir, you are beyond saving."

Gui Yuan sighed.

The Fairy of Elixir: "You are the ones who are beyond redemption."

With her sharp shout, her skeletal body rapidly secreted more poisonous mist from the Meteorite God Pill.

These poisonous mists, like living insects, rapidly devoured the golden lightsaber under her control, and rushed straight towards An Xingran and Shen Zhou along the lightsaber.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators had no choice but to retreat again, and for a time they were unable to do anything to the severely injured and dying Fairy of Spirit Medicine.

However, at that moment, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out.

"Don't panic, let me handle it!"

As soon as the voice rang out, everyone turned their attention to the speaker.

It was none other than Su Yuan.

Under the astonished gazes of the three Nascent Soul cultivators, Su Yuan, with a strong sense of confidence, emerged from behind Gui Yuan at a 45-degree angle.

Then, he walked straight toward the poisonous mist of the Fallen God Pill that was right in front of him.

"Senior Su, don't see me out!"

An Xingran subconsciously reached out her hand and offered a reminder.

But it was too late. Su Yuan had already entered the range of the Meteorite Pill, and it seemed that he would be corroded into a puddle of pus by the poisonous mist in the next second.

But at that moment, everyone saw Su Yuan confidently extend his palm and utter two words.

"Finger Spirit".

Immediately, the invisible poisonous mist of the Meteorite Pill around them was sucked in by Su Yuan's palm like dust in a vacuum cleaner, and was completely absorbed in an instant.

Upon seeing this scene, not only the three Nascent Soul cultivators on their side, but even the Fairy of Spirit Medicine showed disbelief.

"How is this possible? My Fallen God Pill actually..."

The Fairy of Spiritual Medicine watched helplessly as the poisonous mist condensed in Su Yuan's palm, quickly forming a pitch-black pill that resembled a black hole and could even absorb light.

And this pill is exactly the same as the Fallen God Pill she refined before!
"You absorbed the medicinal mist and used it to refine the Fallen God Pill in reverse?"

The Fairy of Spiritual Herbs was momentarily bewildered, then, as if realizing something, exclaimed in astonishment:
"Could it be that you have mastered the highest level of the Spirit Demon Finger technique?"

Su Yuan, holding the Fallen God Pill, was slightly surprised after hearing the words of the Spirit Medicine Fairy.

His own demonic skill, Finger Spirit, had been discovered.

Although he did not upgrade this demonic skill to the maximum level of five, he did forcibly upgrade it to level five by combining the ten demonic fingers.

This is also why he dared to stand up and face the mist of the Fallen God Pill.

So what if a cultivator dies the moment they touch the medicinal mist of the Fallen God Pill?

Does its toxicity negate the fact that it is a medicine?
As long as it is medicine, as long as it contains medicinal ingredients, it can be absorbed and refined by the Demonic Art of Finger Spirit, forming precious elixirs.

—Limited to level 5 magic skill, Finger Spirit.

Of course, Su Yuan wasn't one to recklessly rush in and passionately clash with the Meteor God Pill without even trying.

Before taking action, he consulted 'Speedy Demon Cultivation' in detail and learned that the Fallen God Pill Mist was countered by the Demonic Art of Finger Spirit, which gave him the courage to step forward and become the hero.
