"Good thinking, let’s all strike together, annihilate his spiritual sense and thought, and we can seize this body together, achieving immortality. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?"
The other Demon Kings no longer cared how preposterous the plan was, even if there was only a glimmer of hope left, they were willing to take the risk. After all, these Demon Kings weren’t true souls, just remnants of lingering thoughts, which were exactly the unwillingness of the Demon Kings to just perish, the thoughts they struggled with to survive, naturally instinctive to reject a destructive end.
At that moment, with a shout, they surged forward in a crowd.
Damn, was all that talking actually useless? Now that’s really seeing a ghost.
Xiao Jie had never encountered this before.
Phantom Traceless! Phantom Traceless! Phantom Traceless! Phantom Traceless!
His figure kept flashing, dodging the attacks from the Demon Kings in the narrow gaps between them.
"Don’t just claw at him, use your spells, damn it!" the Red Fox Spirit shouted loudly, summoning four or five balls of Demon Fire aimed at Xiao Jie, but all were dodged by him.
Heavenly Net! The Spider Demons spat out a sky full of webs, Xiao Jie secretly cursed his luck; he didn’t have any cultivation technique that could slice through the nets like a fiery blade.
Fortunately, Phantom Traceless was unlike normal movement techniques, ignoring physical restraints, and he flashed directly past the web’s reach.
But then came the Black Hawk monster shooting countless feather flying arrows, a move just like Ying Baiyu’s, but the arrows rained down even more densely.
Xiao Jie dodged in disarray, his heart growing more anxious by the moment, facing so many Demon Kings at once was truly a tough situation.
Even if he could keep flashing indefinitely, there was always the possibility of a mishap.
Hmph, it seems like refusing a toast only to later be forced to drink a forfeit, can’t blame me for being ruthless now.
If it were a normal battle, with his strength against the nine Great Demons, there wasn’t the slightest chance.
His current reliance was nothing but skills with no cooldown, no consumption.
Since there was no cooldown, no consumption, naturally, he had to use the strongest skills. Xiao Jie’s Qi Refinement had reached the Seventh Level, successfully unlocking two more Qi Refining Secret Skills—Deterioration Skill and Heavenly Tribulation Technique. It was time to test them out.
The Heavenly Tribulation Technique was powerful, but its cost was also huge, consuming not only spiritual energy but also Merit Points; he wouldn’t dare to use it recklessly "in reality."
Fortunately, in this spirit world, all skill consumption was zero, so naturally, he was going to enjoy himself thoroughly.
Just as the three Demon Kings rushed at him again.
Xiao Jie suddenly deployed his Big Move.
Secret Technique—Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow!
Once the Big Move was unleashed, the three Demon Kings rushing towards him were instantly frozen in mid-air, while the other Demon Kings, unaware of the depth of the attack, encircled from a distance.
However, Xiao Jie didn’t take this opportunity to attack. With Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow’s five seconds, he could hardly deal much damage, which for these Demon Kings, was merely scratching an itch.
Heavenly Tribulation Technique!
One could see Xiao Jie’s character suddenly raise a hand, pointing at one of the Black Bear Spirits.
On the screen, the Black Bear Spirit was instantly locked by Xiao Jie’s skill, the outline of the monster appearing semi-transparent, the distribution of spiritual energy within was clearly visible.
In an instant, the pure white spiritual energy turned into a pitch-black color, symbolizing an ominous disaster, as if it became corrupted in a flash, like a pitch-black hole in the world.
This image only lasted a moment before returning to normal. On the outside, the Black Bear Spirit still looked the same, but under the Qi Observation Skill’s perspective, one could see that it had become an existence shunned by the world.
In that instant, a flash of spiritual light crossed Xiao Jie’s mind, as if he was suddenly enlightened.
(So that’s how it is, the underlying principle of this Heavenly Tribulation Technique is to alter the nature of the spiritual energy inside the target’s body, turning it into a ’Negative Spiritual Energy Point’ in nature’s spiritual energy, causing a repulsion reaction from the spiritual energy of the world.
The so-called Heavenly Tribulation is actually the natural phenomenon generated by nature’s spiritual energy to neutralize the negative spiritual energy.
As long as one withstood this process, the negative spiritual energy inside would be neutralized, and the tribulation would naturally pass...)
Regarding the sudden thought in his mind, Xiao Jie was a bit surprised, but he didn’t get distracted by it.
As soon as a Heavenly Tribulation Technique was cast, the Illusion Shattering Bubble Shadow’s duration also ended.
Xiao Jie immediately used Phantom Traceless to flash away, dodging the subsequent attacks.
The other Demon Kings were about to continue their pursuit.
"Wait a moment!" cried the Black Bear Spirit in a thunderous and angry roar; the other Demon Kings were all surprised by it.
The Black Bear Spirit asked Xiao Jie fearfully, "What did you do to me? Why do I feel—despair?"
Xiao Jie smiled indifferently, "I merely made you the subject of the tribulation, what you’re about to face is—Heavenly Tribulation!"
The Demon Kings were all shocked. For demons, the Heavenly Tribulation was a terrifying thing, many evil and powerful demons had escaped the pursuit of the Canglin Heavenly Feather Army, only to perish under Heavenly Tribulation.
"Heavenly Tribulation! Heavenly Tribulation! Impossible! How can there be a Heavenly Tribulation here!"
"No, what he says is true, I can feel it," said the Black Bear Spirit in terror, looking around as if some enormous threat was lurking in the vast darkness.
Yet there was nothing around, only endless darkness.
Xiao Jie was also curious; the specific disaster triggered by the Heavenly Tribulation Technique was supposed to be randomly generated according to the environment.
In rainy weather, it would likely be a thunder tribulation.
Near flames, it would likely be a fire tribulation.
Near rivers, it would likely be a water tribulation.
Different terrains lead to different tribulations.
So, what kind of disaster would be triggered inside his own spiritual domain?
The answer soon emerged.
The Black Bear Spirit suddenly let out a roar of fear, almost like a plea for mercy; in an instant, it seemed to turn even blacker, leaving only the gleam of its eyes.
