I Became a Witch and Started an Industrial Revolution
Chapter 266 : A Method to Torture the Evil DemonsLi Tianwei held the Evil Demons in his hand, carefully examining them while comparing them with the Sun and Moon Banner.
It seemed he was searching for Dharma Runes within them that might have some connection to the Evil Demons.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Tianwei directly threw these Evil Demons into the Sun and Moon Banner. Following the same method he had previously used to refine souls, he began refining the Evil Demons.
However, as soon as the refinement began, Li Tianwei discovered that the Evil Demons and human souls were completely different kinds of existences.
There was not the slightest thing on the Evil Demons that could be linked to humans. Even their physical forms differed enormously.
At Li Tianwei's current level, he could completely reduce any object to the atomic level, or even something even smaller.
Precisely because of this, he became increasingly aware of just how unique the Evil Demons truly were. Humans and bananas even shared fifty percent similarity.
Yet between Evil Demons and humans, there was almost nothing alike.
This made them extraordinarily bizarre.
This also explained why it was so difficult for cultivators to identify the Evil Demons.
The methods cultivators used against other cultivators simply could not be applied against the Evil Demons.
The difference between the two species was simply too great. Cultivators' techniques were all based on the human body, while the Evil Demons' formless nature naturally left cultivators completely helpless.
However, in Li Tianwei's eyes, things were entirely different.
Everything followed a traceable pattern.
At worst, he would simply research the Evil Demons, discover their principles, and completely exploit or destroy them.
Thus, Li Tianwei immediately chose to begin dissecting them.
He first experimented using Dao Intents,
then moved on to various attribute-based spells and Divine Abilities.
At the same time, Li Tianwei also discovered that as long as an Evil Demon was not completely erased, given sufficient time, it could slowly recover.
"How strange."
"Can you feel pain?"
Li Tianwei cast several more curse techniques, continuously applying pressure to the Evil Demons as he questioned them.
The Evil Demons themselves had never expected to be treated this way.
When they first encountered Li Tianwei, they had assumed they were finished.
At worst, they thought they would simply be completely erased by him.
Yet Li Tianwei's actions made them realize that complete erasure was not their only possible fate.
As they continuously experienced all kinds of methods being used upon them by Li Tianwei, although the essence of an Evil Demon was vastly different from that of a human,
as long as consciousness existed,
there would inevitably be emotions.
And where emotions existed, so too did pain, fear, terror, despair, and every other feeling.
Li Tianwei had grasped precisely this point.
He had immediately found the Evil Demons' greatest weakness.
The nature of their suffering differed from that of humans.
Humans could be tortured physically, mentally, or spiritually.
For the Evil Demons, however, the source of fear and suffering lay in provoking the thoughts within their hearts. By applying curse techniques or using spiritual power to wear away at their consciousness, they could be made to experience unbearable pain.
"If that's the case, then sending them into the Sun and Moon Banner isn't impossible after all."
Watching the Evil Demons struggle in agony, Li Tianwei had already reached his conclusion.
"Let's try this as well."
Forming a hand seal, Li Tianwei cast another spell upon the Evil Demons.
This time, however, the technique was one he had created specifically to target the Evil Demons' greatest weakness.
Using curse techniques as the tempering method and consciousness as the fuel, he had developed an entirely new technique.
In just this brief period of experimentation, after torturing the Evil Demons several times, Li Tianwei had already devised several methods specifically meant to deal with them.
He named this technique, which attacked the Evil Demons through their greatest weakness,
"Burning Demon Spirit Art."
Li Tianwei lightly pointed at the Evil Demons.
Immediately,
strange flames began flickering across their previously dazed bodies before bursting into blazing fire.
In an instant,
the Evil Demons were completely engulfed.
The Evil Demons had never expected the pain and despair they had already been experiencing to continue intensifying.
The flames even began completely dismantling and reconstructing every part of their existence.
Most importantly,
every cycle of burning and transformation continuously enhanced the Evil Demons' spiritual perception.
Yet that heightened perception existed solely for the sake of supreme torment.
As their sensitivity increased,
the pain they experienced became correspondingly more intense.
At that point,
the very difference between Evil Demons and humans became the source of their greatest despair.
Humans possessed physical bodies, minds, and spirits.
Because of these many aspects, they could experience many different forms of pain and emotion.
The Evil Demons were different.
Their consciousnesses were connected through their shared origin.
They possessed no physical bodies.
The only pain they could truly experience came from the erosion brought about by spiritual contact.
In other words,
the Evil Demons rarely encountered anything capable of causing them suffering.
Unlike humans, who constantly experienced birth, aging, illness, death, separation, joy, sorrow...
all kinds of pain that could pierce to the very bone.
Thus,
humans could be said to possess far greater tolerance for suffering than the Evil Demons.
After all,
they had experienced so much.
Pain included.
The Evil Demons, having rarely experienced suffering before,
now found that very inexperience becoming their ultimate torment.
"No... no... what... what exactly did you do to us..."
"It hurts so much! Please spare me! My soul... it's being torn apart! I can feel myself falling..."
Disgust,
despair,
and endless suffering continuously descended upon them.
Li Tianwei was quite satisfied with the Burning Demon Spirit Art he had created through his research into the Evil Demons.
Just look how happy those Evil Demons were.
"In that case, I should also add another area beneath the Eighteen Hells specifically for serving the Evil Demons."
Thus,
Li Tianwei gently drew a line beneath the Eighteenth Hell.
As Li Tianwei's boundless power descended,
endless crimson flames erupted beneath the Eighteen Hells.
A force that burned directly into the soul continuously surged.
Even from afar,
one could sense that these flames burned forth despair,
hesitation,
regret,
remorse...
Immediately afterward,
Li Tianwei casually tossed the few Evil Demons in his hand downward.
Very quickly,
they completely fell into those crimson flames.
"AAAHHH—!"
Compared to before,
the Soul-burning power had become even more violent and terrifying.
The Evil Demons screamed miserably.
However,
compared to the countless souls and other beings already suffering within the Eighteen Hells,
their agony still could not compare.
After finishing all of this,
Li Tianwei had already decided it was time to leave and deal with the other three Spirit Domains.
Everything in the Northern Spirit Domain had now been handled for the most part.
The path where everyone cultivated had essentially been established.
As long as people could recognize truth through cultivation,
they would eventually step fully into the world of immortal cultivation.
The current situation was merely a transitional phase.
It would not take long before everything returned to normal.
The rest could simply be left to time.
In Li Tianwei's view,
anyone who cultivated must inevitably come to understand reason and investigate the principles of all things.
Cultivation was not merely about allowing everyone to become immortal cultivators.
It was about allowing everyone to become like dragons.
At the current rate the cultivation system was spreading,
it would not take long before it covered the entire Northern Spirit Domain.
One could say that, for the time being,
the Northern Spirit Domain no longer required Li Tianwei's protection.
It only needed time to continue developing.
