Stronger with Crimson Modifier

"How pathetic!"

Hu Qi's expression was indifferent. Facing the full-force sword strike, he simply threw a casual punch.

The force of the punch was so immense that the surrounding space seemed unable to bear it, causing the water to collapse inward and space itself to fracture.

CRACK!

The moment the force of the punch made contact with the sword's light.

The Demon-slaying Sword's blade trembled and let out a mournful cry. Its once-dazzling light dimmed instantly.

The sword was sent flying backward.

After spinning several times in the air, it plunged diagonally into the ground.

Its once-plain, unadorned blade was now covered in a dense network of cracks.

The undiminished force of the punch struck Wang Zhiyuan directly.

In an instant, multicolored lights flickered around his body, like countless popping bubbles.

These were all various life-saving Talismans, Restrictions, and Magical Treasures.

But even with the protection of these numerous trump cards, Wang Zhiyuan was still sent flying.

PTUI!

Blood spurted from his seven orifices.

His face was deathly pale.

His mind was connected to the Demon-slaying Sword. With the blade damaged, he too naturally suffered a grievous wound.

Hu Qi paid him no mind.

With a thought, he summoned the Crimson panel.

His gaze swept over it and landed on the status column.

[Status: Abnormal (Pocket World evolution progress: 39%) (Life Silk has entered the body) △]

'Life Silk... Just as I thought. There's something in this Immortal Energy!'

This situation did not surprise Hu Qi.

To put it bluntly, Wang Zhiyuan was nothing more than a pawn for the Immortals of the Immortal Realm.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Every gift from fate has long since had a price secretly attached.

It was only logical that the Immortal Energy contained a hidden danger.

He scanned his body and sensed the thread-like object inside him.

'Life Silk... that name. It feels similar to the great web of fate.'

However, after entering his body, this strand of Life Silk didn't become a parasite. Instead, it was being broken down.

This was clearly due to his Spirit Devouring Talent.

However, the speed of decomposition and devouring was a bit slow. At this rate, it would take at least a couple of hours.

Normally, Hu Qi wouldn't have minded waiting for it to be digested on its own.

But he couldn't wait that long right now. Everything he had just done would likely soon attract the attention of the Immortals in the Immortal Court.

He needed to eliminate this hidden danger as quickly as possible and break through to the Banished Immortal Realm.

At this thought, he immediately focused his mind.

'Crimson, accelerate the digestion of the Life Silk in my body!'

The instant he gave the command,

his Modification Points decreased by five hundred.

The strand of Life Silk in his body disintegrated instantly.

He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but after devouring this wisp of Life Silk, Hu Qi felt his Divine Celestial Threads seemed to have grown slightly stronger.

However, the increase was very faint.

He wasn't entirely certain.

The thought merely flickered through his mind.

Then, he turned his attention to the Skill column.

——

[Skill: Taichu Refining Immortal Record (Divinity Transformation Chapter: Ninth Layer) △ Lifebound Technique: Profound Yin Heavy Water]

...

[Modification Points: 84101 (71%)]

The entry for the Taichu Refining Immortal Record remained the same.

However, his Modification Points had increased from over fifty thousand three years ago to more than eighty thousand now.

'Crimson, modify and upgrade the Taichu Refining Immortal Record!'

Hu Qi didn't hesitate for a moment.

The instant the thought formed,

the Modification Points column instantly decreased by five thousand.

At the same time,

Hu Qi's aura began to transform, to ascend!

A faint white light emanated from the surface of his body.

An even more powerful pressure spread out from him,

making the hearts of the other two people present tremble uncontrollably.

That was the aura of an Immortal.

"No! That Immortal Energy is mine!"

Seeing this,

Wang Zhiyuan, covered in blood and as pathetic as a beaten dog, stared fixedly at Hu Qi with a venomous expression.

At the sight,

Hu Qi's gaze shifted.

He raised his hand, preparing to kill him.

Just then,

Jin Ling'Er's figure moved to block Wang Zhiyuan.

"Big Brother, you... you promised me you wouldn't kill him!"

She could clearly feel Hu Qi's gaze fall upon her.

Her body began to tremble involuntarily.

Hu Qi had now broken through to the Demon Immortal Realm. Even if he made no move, a mere wisp of aura emanating from him was enough to make her shudder endlessly.

Immortals and mortals were already beings of different orders.

And yet, she clenched her jaw, mustered her courage, and stood resolutely in front of Wang Zhiyuan.
