Trapped in one's own web.
Li Qingshan immediately thought of this phrase. Then, he sat under the Demon Suppression Tower and pondered for three days and three nights, but he still could not come up with a solution.
Little Ann was also helpless. Unless he abandoned the Demon Suppression Statuary and cultivated in a different cultivation method, how could he hope for the same result if he planted a different seed!
On the fourth day, the Demon Suppression Chains clanked. Li Qingshan stood up and said impatiently, "Forget it! Can't I break through and become a Demon King if I can't comprehend the Demon Suppression Statuary? "
Li Qingshan took out a handful of demon hearts. These demon hearts were crystal clear and contained boundless demonic energy. They were the spoils of war from wiping out the demons in Southern Border — the Demon King's Heart.
The demonic nature contained in these Demon King's hearts were all different, but they did not lack malice or slaughter. He wanted to extract the portion of power that was compatible with his demon heart and then prove his Dao through strength, forcefully breaking through to the Demon King realm.
He waved his hand, and the demon hearts of various shapes and colors floated around him, glowing with a faint demonic light.
Little Ann had already completely erased their spirituality, so he did not have to worry about any backlash. The only thing he had to worry about was cultivation deviation, and Li Qingshan was about to!
As the demon hearts lit up, the Demon Suppression Tower grew ten times larger, like a towering mountain, suppressing all demonic energy.
Li Qingshan's shoulders sank as he felt the pressure increase, but he stood there steadily, not moving at all! With his ox demon strength, how could he be suppressed by a Demon Suppression Tower?
He opened his mouth and inhaled. Streams of demonic energy surged out of the demon hearts and surged into his mouth, rampaging through his body like a surging flood. If he was just a Demon General, his body would have exploded and he would have died. How could proving one's Dao through strength be so fun?
However, as a Demon King, his body was extremely tough, like the sturdiest dam. The torrent of demonic energy could only surge within it, and the demonic Qi on his body continued to rise, becoming stronger and stronger.
The Demon Suppression Chains grew thicker and thicker, locking down all the joints in his body firmly, almost drowning his figure.
Li Qingshan did not care. As he sucked in large mouthfuls of Demonic Energy, he forcefully circulated the Demon Suppression Statuary and guided the surging Demonic Energy into his demonic heart.
Ka-cha!
His demon heart shone brilliantly, but cracks appeared on it. Although his body was strong, his demon heart wasn't that strong. It was unable to withstand this immense force and was about to explode.
"Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!"
Li Qingshan remained unmoved. He shouted in a low voice.
The figure of the spirit turtle appeared above the demon heart and shone with faint light. It easily suppressed the demon heart, using external force to forcefully maintain the stability of the demon heart.
He didn't care whether he was aware of it or not. He just wanted to force himself on her, piling up the quantity to cause a qualitative change.
Ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to do this. However, he was best at using force, and he had the capital to do so.
The demonic energy surges. The light armor on Li Qingshan's body spreads continuously, covering his entire body.
His body turned into a suit of heavy armor again. Other than the bull's horns on the armor and the tiger's head on the breastplate, it had completely changed its appearance. There was a hideous ghost face on the visor. It constantly twisted and changed, making various expressions.
As the demonic energy constantly surged in, the armor became even heavier. In the end, it no longer seemed like armor, but more like a mecha from a sci-fi movie. It collided with the Chains of Demon Suppression, producing the sound of metal grinding against metal.
"If there's a problem that power can't resolve, then it must be because your power isn't great enough!"
This saying might not have been applicable on Earth in his past life. The laws of birth, death, sickness, and death could not be resisted no matter how much power or wealth one possessed. However, it was the truth in this world of cultivators. As long as they were powerful enough, the laws of the world could still be trampled underfoot.
Right now, Li Qingshan was using his own strength as a foundation to cultivate in a way that others would never even dare to imagine. The cracks on the demon heart were already as dense as a spider's web, completely maintained by external force. However, he continued to devour the demonic energy, making the cracks even denser, splitting the demon heart into even finer grains of sand.
As his demon qi grew slightly stronger, the pressure from the Demon Suppression Tower and the restraints from the Chains of Demon Suppression grew slightly stronger, turning into a dead knot.
However, while the demonic nature of the "enemy" was stronger, the Demon Suppression Statuary would be even more powerful, even if the Unraging monk tossed out the Demon Suppression Tower, he would not be able to suppress Demon God Qiongqi. Everything had a limit.
Using the Demon King's heart as a foundation, Li Qingshan pushed the Demon Suppression Statuary to such an extreme very soon. A crack suddenly appeared on the towering Demon Suppression Tower. He snickered and continued to refine the demonic energy. The crack spread across the entire tower very soon.
By now, Li Qingshan had already turned into an armoured monster over a hundred meters tall. He no longer cared about the appearance of the Demon Suppression statue. He dragged the heavy Chains of Demon Suppression behind him and slammed the Demon Suppression Tower with his fists. The Chains of Demon Suppression produced the sound of metal being stretched and twisted.
"Break!"
Li Qingshan shuddered and stretched his arms as hard as he could. The Chains of Demon Suppression shattered inch by inch, and he slammed into the tower.
With a great rumble, the Demon Suppression Tower collapsed loudly, turning back into surging demon qi and surging back. His demonified body swelled up further, reaching several hundred meters in length. Just Now, it stopped.
The demon heart that had always been on the verge of shattering began to condense again, turning into the heart of a Demon King.
The huge set of demonic armour was wrapped in chains, but they were no longer restraints, but weapons! A straight horn protruded from the centre of the helmet, pointing diagonally at the sky. It happened to be the shape of the Demon Suppression Tower.
Li Qingshan sensed the brand new power in his body and felt delighted inside. All butterflies were trapped in their own cocoons, so why would they have to worry about not being able to break free?
There were still various problems that needed to be resolved urgently, such as the lack of tempering of his power, which made him extremely clumsy and heavy after demonification, or the fact that he was in a berserk state after demonification, or the fact that the quality of his demon heart was much worse without the baptism of the heavenly tribulation.
However, a Demon King was a Demon King. All of these problems could be resolved slowly. He was confident that he could control whatever state he was in. That was enough!
With a thought, Li Qingshan turned into a demonic and divine body that stood over seven hundred meters tall again, donning a set of dark-red demonic armour. Checking it out, he did not expect it to fit him quite well.
In the end, he reverted to his human form and dispelled his devilization. However, he discovered that his entire body was covered in demonic runes and demonic energy. If he wandered about outside, other cultivators would probably be able to discover a great Demon King like him from fifty kilometers away. With his current appearance, he definitely could not enter the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. Fortunately, he had the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression. Not only did it suppress the demon qi, but it even purged the demonic glyphs.
Li Qingshan arrived outside the Asura Field and handed the demon hearts that had yet to be used up to Little Ann. Spiritual medicines and spiritual stones were basically useless to her, but demon hearts and demonfolk grew together. They were not condensed from pure power like golden cores. Instead, they were rather similar to buddhist cultivators' śarīras. She tossed these demon hearts into the Blood Sea Banner and slowly melted them away.
Time flew by. Little Ann continued refining the Skull Prayer Beads, while Li Qingshan began tempering the demon hearts. In the blink of an eye, a few months had passed.
On this day, a woman in red arrived outside Qing Xiao's dwelling and probed, "Qingshan?"
"Qiongzhi!"
