Chapter 1434 - Demon Spirit
Ages ago, countless powerful evil spirits and fiends had plunged the mortal world into chaos. To subdue them, formidable cultivators forged artifacts specifically to seal those beings, and people called such weapons Demon-Suppressing Artifacts.
Even Liu Wuxie had personally sealed a powerful evil spirit in the past, imprisoning it within a longsword. Over the years, the sword's internal sword aura had already wiped out the evil spirits within.
However, ordinary means couldn't kill some evil spirits, so cultivators could only suppress them.
The crimson blade in Mu Ye's hand was one such Demon-Suppressing Artifact, and it imprisoned the vilest existence of all—a demon spirit.
A demon spirit was born from the union between the demon clan and evil spirits. Even if enemies destroyed their physical bodies, their souls could still condense into a wisp of gaseous light and drift around the world without form.
Demon spirits delighted in devouring human brain marrow and human souls. Since they had no physical form, killing them was extremely difficult. To stop them from throwing the world into chaos, cultivators could only forge Demon-Suppression Artifacts and seal the demon spirits within.
"You actually know Demon-Suppression Artifacts? Looks like I can't let you live now," Mu Ye said, narrowing his eyes. Many people knew how terrifying the crimson blade was, but very few could recognize it as a Demon-Suppressing Artifact at a glance.
Over the years, many cultivators at the high levels of the Earth Immortal Realm had come to seize his position as planet lord, but Mu Ye had killed them all. No one knew how he did it; they only knew that his blade was terrifying.
That power was completely different from the Universal Gourd. The gourd was a treasure born and nurtured by heaven and earth; not only could it refine pills, but it could also store everything in the world.
By contrast, the Demon-Suppression Artifact imprisoned countless demon spirits, and anyone who refined the artifact could wield the power of those demon spirits in battle.
"Senior Luo, you and A'Lei retreat far away," Liu Wuxie said. He did not want them to fall under the Demon-Suppressing Artifact's control.
"Understood," Luo Hai replied. It was the first time he had seen Liu Wuxie wear such a solemn expression, and he couldn't help wondering if that crimson blade was truly that terrifying.
