His profound meditation skills allowed him to remain calm and not be swallowed by the madness.
These negative thoughts were futile and he needed to get rid of them. The most important thing now was not hatred or killing intent, but to find a way to survive. Otherwise, he would die here sullenly and live in vain.
His life had been exciting since he came to this world, but if he died like this, it would not be satisfactory. He would accept it even if he died at the hands of an Enlightened Master, but he would not be able to rest in peace if he died at the hands of such a sinister person.
His thoughts raced as an intense pain hit him like a tidal wave. It was as if a steel needle had been stabbed into the back of his head. His vision darkened and he almost fainted.
He knew that this was the result of overusing his brain due to the heavy injuries he had suffered earlier.
Zhe Ying placed his palm on Chu Li's chest and activated the Heavenly Demonic Spirit Devouring Technique.
Wisps of strange energy entered the Heavenly Demonic Orb. The energy from the Heavenly Demonic Orb floated into Zhe Ying's palm and was devoured by his Heavenly Demonic Orb.
However, the devouring speed was extremely slow. Chu Li's Heavenly Demonic Orb was unusually pure, so it was very strenuous for him to devour it.
The more Zhe Ying struggled, the more ecstatic he felt.
If he could devour such a pure Heavenly Demonic Orb, not only would he advance to the sixth level, but he might even complete the sixth level. That would save him twenty years of effort. It was truly a fortuitous encounter!
The smile on his handsome face brightened as he asked gently, "Brother Du, how did you cultivate such a pure Heavenly Demonic Orb?"
Chu Li replied calmly, "Do you think I'll tell you?"
"Hehe." Zhe Ying chuckled. "I know you must hate me and want to kill me, Brother Du."
Chu Li smiled.
He completely suppressed his raging anger and killing intent. His heart was as calm as a frozen lake as he said, "There's something I don't understand before I die. If you can tell me, I'll die with a clear conscience."
"Tell me about it, Brother Du. I'll tell you everything I know." Zhe Ying smiled. "Consider it a little compensation."
Chu Li asked, "How did I get knocked out when I touched the Heavenly Demon Statue?"
"I know about that. I can tell you, Brother Du." Zhe Ying smiled and said, "The Heavenly Demon Statue is our sect's inherited treasure. It's made of a unique material, and it's said that it's an object from the Outland that fell into the mortal world. After the sect founder obtained it, he carved it into the Heavenly Demon Statue, which can store the power of one's soul."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Zhe Ying continued to devour Chu Li's Heavenly Demonic Orb. He felt as if he was eating a sumptuous meal that tasted, tasted, and tasted the best wine in the world. Zhe Ying felt tipsy as he watched Chu Li being tied to the metal bed and unable to move at all. Zhe Ying could only devour and plunder Chu Li's Heavenly Demonic Orb.
He chuckled and said, "Before the seniors of the Heavenly Demonic Sect passed away, they would infuse their lifetime's worth of martial arts comprehension into the Heavenly Demon Statue. You can imagine how powerful the soul power inside the Heavenly Demon Statue is, right?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
Although his hands and feet were bound by the Cold Iron Hoops, his neck was not, and he could still turn his head.
"Brother Du, you're really lucky to have survived the encounter with the Heavenly Demon Statue," Zhe Ying said with a smile. "It's also because I'm lucky to have had this fortuitous encounter!"
Chu Li calmly asked, "Why are the Four Grand Elders fine after touching it?"
"Because the four Grand Elders have cultivated the Inherited Technique, and because they sit in front of the Sky Demon Statue all day and night, their auras are connected, so they can touch the Sky Demon Statue. Other than the four Grand Elders and the Sect Leader, no one else can touch the Sky Demon Statue. No matter how high their cultivation is, touching the Sky Demon Statue will only result in death."
"How do we inherit it?"
"As long as the Four Grand Elders use the Inherited Technique to activate the Heavenly Demon Statue, they can naturally inherit it in front of it."
"What a great Heavenly Demon Statue. It's really powerful."
"Of course!" Zhe Ying said proudly, "If one's boundary is high enough, they can also go to the Heavenly Demon Statue to comprehend the inner state."
Chu Li nodded.
Zhe Ying continued, "I'm also very curious. How did you survive when the Sky Demon Statue has such a powerful soul power?"
The Sky Demon Statue was the most terrifying existence to all martial arts masters.
The disciples of the Heavenly Demonic Sect were not afraid of death because they could enter the Heavenly Demonic Boundary after death. However, they were most afraid of the Sky Demon Statue because the Sky Demon Statue destroyed one's soul. Once one's soul was destroyed, one would completely vanish into thin air and disappear forever.
Du Feng touched the Sky Demon Statue but did not die. It was no wonder that he was able to explore and cultivate to the sixth level on his own. He was really tough.
The speed method of mastering the Heavenly Demonic Power depended on whether one was tough or not. If one was not tough enough, cultivating the speed method would definitely result in death. Only those who were tough enough could cultivate the speed method and survive countless close calls in exchange for the rapid advancement of the Heavenly Demonic Power.
Chu Li said, "I fainted right away. I don't know how I survived!"
"Sigh …" Zhe Ying shook his head and said, "Your soul was destroyed after touching the Sky Demon Statue. You're really brave and lucky … Unfortunately, you can't hide forever. You'll still die in the end."
Chu Li frowned and remained silent.
The Heavenly Demonic Orb was slowly devoured by Zhe Ying. Zhe Ying did not say anything else. He squinted his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself.
Chu Li also closed his eyes and sensed his body. The energy of the Heavenly Demonic Orb was stripped away bit by bit and fell into Zhe Ying's palm.
In the beginning, the energy of the Heavenly Demonic Orb was so solid that it was difficult to strip it away. Later on, it became faster and faster. After a while, the Heavenly Demonic Orb expanded and turned into a water droplet. Then, it turned into a fist-sized ball.
The joy on Zhe Ying's face deepened.
He could not contain his joy as he watched his Heavenly Demonic Orb shrink and solidify.
Chu Li's voice rang out. "You're going to kill me after you're done devouring it, right?"
"Hehe …" Zhe Ying smiled. "The sooner I die, the sooner I'll be free. Don't blame me, Brother Du."
Chu Li sighed and shook his head. "Looks like I'll have to bring my secret to my grave."
"Hehe …" Zhe Ying shook his head.
He was trying to use his secret in exchange for his life before he died. He was just trying to live a little longer. This was an old trick and should not be taken seriously.
Chu Li said, "Aren't you curious as to how I was able to reach the sixth level in such a short time?"
"Why?" Zhe Ying was intrigued.
Chu Li said, "You should know that I've never been to Heavenly Demonic Sect and I don't have the Heavenly Demon Statue to comprehend my inner state. Yet, I was able to reach the sixth level in one go and it only took me two years."
Zhe Ying's expression changed slightly and his gaze became passionate.
His Heavenly Demonic Orb had already reached the peak of the fifth level. His eyes flickered and he stopped talking as he desperately devoured the energy.
Chu Li watched as his Heavenly Demonic Orb grew bigger and bigger. His expression was calm as he stared at Zhe Ying's handsome face.
"Hahahaha!" Zhe Ying suddenly burst out laughing.
He had finally reached the sixth level that he had been yearning for. It was a piece of cake for him!
Chu Li smiled and said, "You can only reach the sixth level. There's no hope for you to reach the seventh level."
"Tell me, what's your secret?" Zhe Ying asked.
He did not bother to smile anymore and looked down at Chu Li. "If you tell me your secret, I promise not to make things difficult for your woman!"
Chu Li sighed and said, "The Heavenly Demonic Scripture!"
"The Heavenly Demonic Scripture?" Zhe Ying frowned. "What's that?"
