Chapter 1398
Qin He went into hiding for half a year.
For the past six months, he has been like a dragon lurking in the abyss, leaving no trace.
The search by the Divine Court, which started as a fierce and intense operation, gradually degenerated into a casual patrol and eventually fell into complete silence.
In their view, that troublesome demon might have already perished in the violent laws deep within the earth's veins.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Qin He had quietly arrived at the "Soul-Eating Abyss," a distance of 100,000 miles.
This place is a notorious demonic land for miles around, shrouded in dense black miasma year-round. The miasma contains a bone-corroding and soul-devouring power, and ordinary cultivators will have their souls shattered if they take even half a step closer.
At the bottom of the abyss dwells a demon that has cultivated for a thousand years, feeding on the souls of passing cultivators. Over time, this place has become a forbidden zone that no one dares to set foot in.
On this day, the black miasma above the Soul-Eating Abyss suddenly surged violently.
A figure in ink hung outside the miasma; it was Qin He.
His eyes were slightly closed, and the golden and black interwoven patterns of laws quietly unfolded around his body, like a flowing Dao diagram. With a thought, the demonic cloud millstone in his dantian suddenly spun, and a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted.
The black miasma within the Soul-Eating Abyss was as if drawn by an invisible hand, transforming into torrents of pitch-black liquid that surged wildly into Qin He's body.
The miasma that was originally enough to corrode the soul was instantly purified upon contact with the law patterns on his body, stripping away the purest demonic energy and merging into the demonic cloud millstone.
"Who?!"
A mournful roar came from the bottom of the abyss, and the demon that had been entrenched there for thousands of years finally realized something was wrong.
It transformed into a black shadow and soared into the sky, its body shrouded in dense death energy. The wails of countless wronged souls echoed within the death energy, which was its original power cultivated over thousands of years, enough to make even a Dao Palace Realm cultivator lose their composure instantly.
But when it saw Qin He's appearance clearly and felt the terrifying suction force that was constantly devouring the demonic miasma, its eyes were suddenly filled with terror.
It could clearly sense that the demonic obstacle it depended on for survival was dissipating at a visible speed, and the once abundant temple had become depleted in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"You dare to disturb my sacred ground!"
The demon roared, its deathly aura suddenly surging and condensing into a pitch-black bone blade, which slashed towards Qin He with the power to tear through space.
Where the bone blade sliced through, ripples spread through the void, and where the deathly aura passed, even the air condensed into black ice crystals—this was its full-force attack, fused with the Law of Deathly Silence, enough to threaten a semi-saint level cultivator in the late stage of the Other Shore Realm.
Qin He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden-black light disappearing from his pupils.
He didn't even move his feet, he just raised his hand in a loose grasping motion.
The power of the three laws of lightning, wind, and space instantly converged, condensing into a golden and black blade of law in his palm. This blade had no physical form, yet it exuded a chilling pressure, and as the blade swirled, the strange phenomena of the birth and death of stars could be faintly seen.
"cut."
With a single, casual word, the blade of law suddenly slashed out. There was no earth-shattering roar, only the invisible shockwave generated by the collision of laws.
The bone blade formed by the demon shattered instantly, and the death aura dissipated like a tide. The black shadow was directly struck by the blade of law, letting out a shrill scream.
At this moment, in Qingfeng City, not far from the Soul-Eating Abyss, countless people were staring at the sky in terror. Although they could not see the specific scene, they could feel the suffocating pressure, the black miasma and golden-black light surging in the sky, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was trembling violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"Someone is exorcising demons!"
Someone shouted, and the previously terrified people instantly calmed down, kneeling down and bowing in the direction of the Soul-Eating Abyss.
In the sky, Qin He's fingertips twitched slightly, and the power of the laws erupted once more. The demon that had been struck was dissolving at a visible speed, and the wails of countless wronged souls gradually subsided, finally turning into a wisp of green smoke and completely dissipating into the world.
With the death of the demon, the last demonic barrier of the Soul-Eating Abyss was also completely absorbed by Qin He. The originally dark sky gradually cleared, and rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds, falling on the streets of Qingfeng City.
Qin He hovered above Qingfeng City, his gaze sweeping over the kneeling people below, and the pressure of the laws surrounding him quietly subsided.
In the past six months, he has not only consolidated his early stage of the Other Shore Realm, but has also reached the threshold of the middle stage.
During this time, he also fully comprehended the profound mysteries of the Primordial Law.
This primordial law is remarkably similar to the principle of fusion of all laws that he comprehended from the abyss world.
It is more like a fundamental method of fusion. With it, those laws that were originally incompatible or even mutually restraining can be perfectly integrated within him.
Thunder and water, fire and earth—these originally conflicting laws, under the guidance of the primordial laws, are now like streams flowing into the sea, no longer clashing but complementing each other, causing his combat power to surge several times over.
For Qin He, this was an opportunity no less significant than obtaining the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.
More importantly, in the past six months, he has begun to try to cultivate his divine soul.
The existence of the demonic shell provided absolute protection for his soul, and the fusion characteristics of the primordial laws gave him a bold idea—to rebuild the path of merit and sainthood and achieve the unity of demon and saint.
Demonic arts are domineering, while holy souls are pure; the two are inherently incompatible.
However, the emergence of the primordial law has made this seemingly impossible path a viable opportunity.
Qin He knew very well that this path was unprecedented, the future was uncertain, and a slight misstep could lead to his annihilation.
But he was even more convinced that once he succeeded, this would be a truly invincible path.
The first step in cultivating the Holy Soul of Merit is to acquire the merit transformed from the thoughts of all living beings.
It's my old profession.
