Qin Shi wasn't aware of what had happened to the Sword Sect and the Purgatory in the Sacred Spirit Hall. In the past two months, he had devoted all his energy and time to exploring the lighthouse.
There were a total of 36 floors, and every floor was guarded by Transcendents. The first few floors were easy for him, but after the 10th floor, he felt that it was unusually difficult.
From the 11th floor onward, the lighthouse's guards had all turned into Sword Demons. Furthermore, the Sword Demons on every floor were extremely powerful. Not only were they all at the perfected Domain Realm, but they also possessed powerful divine senses and physiques.
Streaks of sword-light made Qin Shi's throat turn cold.
Fortunately, after two months of hard work, Qin Shi still managed to climb to the 36th floor, which was also the highest floor of the lighthouse.
The guard at the highest floor was a huge Stone Demon that was over a thousand feet tall.
Rather than calling it a Stone Demon, it would be more accurate to call it a huge beast with sharp swords on its back. The beast's entire body was covered with broken swords, and the slightest movement of the swords would cause a huge wave of sword aura.
By the time Qin Shi reached this floor, he was already panting and exhausted.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "What a cruel test."
"Alright, you've already won by making it this far. As long as you defeat this Stone Demon, you'll win," the evil demon said.
Qin Shi glared at him in annoyance. "You make it sound so easy. Why don't you just casually defeat such a big guy?"
"If it were me, it would really be as easy as waving my hand." The evil demon smiled nonchalantly and said, "Why don't you give me your body?"
Qin Shi stroked the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't be sarcastic. If I really gave it to you, would you want it?"
"Then why not?
In the beginning, I entered your flesh and blood in order to possess you. In the end, I fell into a pit myself. "
Qin Shi smiled and stopped chatting with the evil demon. His eyes became exceptionally serious.
"Phew, the last floor. Let's go all out."
He also knew that the words of the Nefarious Devil were right. As long as he defeated the Stone Demon, the Sacred Spirit Hall would come to an end.
To be honest, he was also a little impatient. He still didn't know whose inheritance he would get in the end.
"Roar!"
When the golem saw Qin Shi, it let out a shrill roar and lunged forward, using its gigantic body to bite Qin Shi.
When the golem opened its bloody mouth, Qin Shi realized that not only was its entire body covered in broken swords, even the teeth in its mouth were sharp swords.
Qin Shi could sense an extraordinary power of sword aura emanating from the golem.
"This Sword Qi's degree of fusion is completely different from what I've grasped."
"If I'm not mistaken, the power of the Sword Qi on this golem is very likely the source of the Sword Qi."
"The Origin of Sword Qi?"
"Yes, it's the most ancient Sword Qi power in the world. You should know that every Variant Power has its own origin, and the purity of the origin is usually several hundred times that of an ordinary Variant Power."
"No wonder."
Realization dawned on Qin Shi. After that, his black eyes turned cold. The golem roared at him, and in the next moment, tens of millions of illusory sword lights spun in a circle and pierced towards him.
He panicked and quickly retreated. His feet continuously stomped on the void, and only then did he barely manage to dodge those sword lights.
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
Then, the sword-lights shattered the ground.
Looking at the thousands of holes on the ground, Qin Shi couldn't help but click his tongue. "This level of Sword Qi is really terrifying."
"Roar!" The giant demon roared again.
Qin Shi squinted his eyes and quickly dodged a few times.
However, he was still suppressed despite dodging. Under the fierce attacks of the golem, he couldn't fight back at all.
He furrowed his brows. "I can't let this continue."
The Stone Demon was a puppet that possessed the spiritual energy of a barrier. However, Qin Shi only had a mortal body. Even if he possessed the Chaotic Sacred Spirit Body, which allowed him to recover his spiritual energy at an extremely fast speed, it was still far inferior to the Stone Demon. His recovery rate was simply unable to keep up with the consumption of spiritual energy. If this continued, he would be worn down by the Stone Demon sooner or later. As long as he revealed the slightest opening, the Stone Demon would definitely seize the opportunity to kill him in one move.
Whoosh!
With a loud explosion, Qin Shi suddenly retreated. The Traceless Sword in his hand left a long streak of lightning on the ground.
Stabilizing his body, he clenched his teeth and shot forward. He finally found an opportunity and slashed at the golem with all his might.
Bang!
But unexpectedly, as soon as Qin Shi attacked, his eyes flashed with shock. Shui Wuhen had slashed at the golem with all her might, but it didn't cause the slightest ripple. Instead, there was a huge rebound that caused his palm to go numb.
"Hiss, just what is the structure of this huge thing?
Why is it so sturdy? "
"It's surrounded by the power of Sword Qi. With your Sword Qi cultivation, it's impossible for you to injure it."
"Then what should I do?" Qin Shi asked in a panic.
Since its first attack had failed, the golem quickly retaliated.
"Roar!" At this moment, a loud roar rang out. The violent storm of swords had already swept towards the space between Qin Shi's eyebrows.
Qin Shi's eyes flashed with shock. He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
"Brat!"
The demon also became anxious and shouted, "Give me the body. I'll use my killing power to destroy this golem. Quick!"
With his life on the line, Qin Shi didn't dare to be careless. At this moment, he didn't care if he was exposed or not. The only thing he could do was protect the demon with his life if it was discovered.
However, just as he was about to retract his divine sense and hand over his body to the demon, the Sword Sect's Spirit suddenly floated up from his chest and flickered with a faint yellow sword light.
"Hmm?" The burning sensation in his chest made Qin Shi stunned.
Then, a mocking laughter rang out from the Sword Sect's Spirit, "Brat, if you don't want the two of you to die here, it's best that you don't do this."
Qin Shi's black eyes were stunned. He immediately shouted, "Senior Qi Qing?"
"Hehe, little fellow, your ears are quite good."
The voice was ethereal and graceful. It smiled and said, "Little fellow, in this Sacred Spirit Hall, there are the remnant spirits of the Sword Sect's 36 Sect Masters. Although I know that the one in your body isn't easy to deal with, we might not be able to do anything to him if he's at his peak. But with his current state, I'm afraid it's not very possible for him to escape from the 36 elders."
"Once his aura is detected, I think the remnant spirits of the 36 elders will immediately appear. After all, our Sword Sect and the Puppet Group have been in conflict for the past ten thousand years."
"The demon isn't from the Puppet Group!"
"It seems so. But even if the one in your body doesn't belong to the Puppet Group, the Puppet Group has already covered the entire Devil World. I don't think the 36 elders will listen to your explanation."
Hearing this, Qin Shi suddenly fell silent.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
After saying this, the Sword Sect's Spirit became much dimmer.
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed. He suddenly said, "Wait a moment."
"Hmm?
What, you don't want to give it a try? "The ethereal laughter rang out again.
Qin Shi shook his head and suddenly put down his raised arm.
Seeing this, the demon hurriedly shouted, "Brat, what are you standing there for?
If you don't hurry up, you'll be torn to pieces by this stone demon. "
Suddenly, Qin Shi took a deep breath. His black eyes suddenly widened. The blood in his body was boiling. Ever since he reached the realm where he could control his body with his divine sense, the blood in his body had reached an extremely powerful level. He used all the blood in his body to seal the demon.
The demon panicked and shouted angrily, "Brat, are you crazy?"
"I can't harm you." Qin Shi shook his head resolutely.
"You …!" The demon was infuriated.
Qi Qing's voice rang out again, "Hehe, brat, you've got guts. What do you plan to do next?
Without the help of that being in your body, I don't think it's realistic for you to escape from this stone demon made of sword energy. "
Qin Shi suddenly laughed strangely, "Hehe, what's so unrealistic about that?
I still have you, don't I? "
"Me?" Qi Qing was stunned.
"Yes, you still need me to help you. I don't think you'd be willing to let me die here, right?
So what I do next, I'll just listen to you. "Qin Shi shrugged.
"Hmm?"
Qi Qing was taken aback. Then, he laughed out loud, "Haha, hahaha, interesting. What an interesting little kid. I thought I could scare you a little, but I didn't expect you to use me instead."
Qin Shi laughed, "Senior Qi Qing, please give me some advice."
Qi Qing shook his head helplessly, "You brat."
Then, Qi Qing said seriously, "It's not difficult to break this stone demon."
"What should I do?"
"Use the Sword Sect's Spirit to perform the Traceless Sword Blood."
"Use the Sword Sect's Spirit?"
Qin Shi had no objections to the latter. After all, the Traceless Sword Blood was his strongest martial art. However, he had a big question mark on the former.
The Sword Sect's Spirit?
He had carried the Sword Sect's Spirit with him for so many years, but he had never used it before.
In such a precarious situation, he didn't have much time to think. If he wanted to live, he could only try according to Qi Qing's suggestion.
He grabbed the Sword Sect's Spirit with one hand and forcefully pulled it off from his neck. Then, he grabbed the Sword Sect's Spirit, gritted his teeth, and stabbed the back of his hand, cutting open his flesh.
Afterwards, he used the Sword Ancestor's Spirit to cut open his entire arm. The gash was so deep that bones could be seen, and blood with ancient runes sprayed out. In the end, the blood slowly flowed along the blade of the Sword Ancestor's Spirit and flowed to the tip of the blade, turning into a huge strand of blood-colored sword Qi.
The sword aura was hundreds of zhang wide. Qin Shi took a deep breath and calmly looked at the giant stone demon. Suddenly, he grabbed the Sword Sect's Spirit with both hands!
Buzz! Buzz!
In an instant, the Sword Sect's Spirit flickered and turned into a huge sword thousands of zhang long in Qin Shi's palm.
Qin Shi spat out a mouthful of turbid air and suddenly smiled at the Stone Devil.
"Big guy, it's over."
