The manic spiritual power continued to pour into the totem.
A blood-red eye appeared between the eyebrows of the evil spirit, emitting a scarlet light.
"Ah!"
Qin Shi's whole body trembled, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly soared.
However, this spiritual power could not be used by him. Instead, it was filled with the wildness of a wild beast, bringing him unprecedented pain.
"Ah ah ah!"
The piercing pain made him feel as if his whole body was immersed in a boiling sea of blood, being burned by a scorching flame. Qin Shi's spiritual veins, bones, and blood were all destroyed.
"What's going on?
My whole body feels like it's going to explode … "
Qin Shi crawled on the stone slab of the ninth floor, enduring the spiritual pressure of a thousand times the gravity outside. His body suffered from the impact of the manic power, causing his skin color to change rapidly, sometimes red, sometimes purple, and his will became more and more blurred.
"Shi Tou … What's going on?
Don't scare me! "Jade In The Book was also shocked and shouted anxiously.
She tried to explore Qin Shi's body with her spiritual power to help him alleviate the pain.
However, the spiritual power had just been released, and it had not even touched Qin Shi's body when it was suddenly burned. At this time, Qin Shi's body was like a blazing sun, frighteningly terrible.
"Damn … Shi Tou, the spiritual power in your body is too strong. You must release it. Quickly open your pores and expel the spiritual power!" Jade In The Book shouted worriedly.
Qin Shi clenched his teeth. How could he not want to throw out all the damn spiritual power?
This spiritual power had far exceeded the load of his body. If he continued to use it, his body would explode sooner or later.
But now, his body was not listening to him. This wild spiritual power had always been around the evil spirit totem, and was gradually absorbed by the evil spirit.
"Not good, this evil spirit seems to be awakening …"
Under the stimulation of the spiritual power, the evil spirit totem expanded little by little, flashing a dark evil light.
"Bang!"
At this time, a muffled sound came from Qin Shi's left arm.
Qin Shi was stunned. His eyes widened as he looked at his left hand. His eyes were filled with despair.
The sandalwood bracelet that Qin Shi had been wearing all this while, under the expansion of the demonic energy, finally broke and fell to the ground.
This sandalwood bracelet was an artifact that once contained the Collapsing Jade. Back then, Qin Tianqing had specially given it to Qin Shi to use as a method to weaken the evil spirits.
"The bracelet is broken … How is this possible?" Qin Shi's eyes widened in shock and panic.
Now that the sandalwood bracelet was broken and Beng Yu was thousands of miles away in the Burning Sky Sect, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of terrifying things would happen to the Evil Devil if it wasn't bound.
Buzz, buzz, buzz ~!
Sure enough, as soon as the bracelet broke, the Demonic Totem was like a wild beast that had broken free from its cage. It let out a heaven-shaking roar, and a pitch-black light shot out.
As the black light shrouded him, the totem slowly expanded along Qin Shi's arm, and a second blood eye opened between his eyebrows.
The opening of the second eye didn't stop the evil spirit.
The third one.
The fourth one.
The fifth one.
The ninth one …
A total of nine blood eyes opened between the eyebrows of the evil spirit, and each eye revealed a bloody murderous aura.
At this time, the evil spirit had already completely covered Qin Shi's left arm in the blink of an eye. A Qilin with nine blood-red eyes gradually grew from an embryonic form to a robust one, slowly expanding towards Qin Shi's body.
"Am I going to die …?"
At this moment, Qin Shi felt that he was extremely close to death.
"Stone …" Jade In The Book shouted at the top of her voice and released all the spiritual energy in her body. However, in front of the evil spirit, she seemed weak.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the top of the ninth level.
Hearing the sound, Qin Shi, whose consciousness was weak, suddenly regained some of his willpower. He raised his head in astonishment and looked toward the direction of the sound. "This sound … is coming from the tenth level?"
At this time, a sharp cry came from the tenth level. Then, a holy golden light, like the red sun in summer, bloomed at the entrance of the spiral staircase in the center of the ninth level and shrouded Qin Shi.
Being shrouded by the golden light, Qin Shi's body trembled, and it made him feel warm and comfortable.
Under the cover of the golden light, the evil spirit gradually stopped spreading, and the spiritual energy gathered in his body finally calmed down and was no longer violent.
"What's going on?
The evil spirit has been suppressed? "This sudden scene caused Qin Shi's eyes to be startled. Immediately, he became excited and secretly delighted.
While he was full of doubts, he saw that the spiritual pressure around him, which was thousands of times stronger than before, had inexplicably disappeared.
"Stone, are you okay?"
Jade In The Book worriedly floated out of the burning book.
"I'm fine …" Qin Shi shook his head and took a deep breath.
Jade In The Book pursed her lips and said, "What's going on?
Why did the totem suddenly stop? "
"I don't know, but I'm sure that all this has something to do with the golden light." Qin Shi crawled up from the ground and looked along the golden light toward the spiral staircase in the center.
Hearing this, Jade In The Book suddenly understood. She didn't ask any more questions, but she said in a low voice with lingering fear, "Stone, let's go down … This place is too strange."
"Go down?"
Qin Shi was stunned, and then a faint light flashed in the corner of his eyes. "I've already died once. No matter what, I have to see the origin of this Purgatory Tower."
"Do you want to go to the tenth level?" Jade In The Book's heart tightened.
"Of course, do you want to give up here?"
Qin Shi responded firmly. Then, he took a deep breath and walked step by step along the golden light toward the tenth level.
Jade In The Book wanted to stop him, but she knew Qin Shi too well. In the end, she hesitated and just opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Step by step, Qin Shi walked up the spiral staircase in the center of the ninth floor. The distance between the ninth floor and the tenth floor was very far. It took Qin Shi half a cup of tea's time before he walked out of the spiral staircase.
As soon as he walked out of the spiral staircase, he was greeted by the scene of the tenth level.
The tenth level was still pitch-black and deep, but there wasn't any terrible spiritual pressure here.
There was a small altar in the center of the tenth level. The altar was emitting a faint light, and there was a mysterious magic array in the center of the light.
This magic array was divided into eight parts, and there was a card slot in each of the eight parts. The card slot was filled with terrible spiritual power, and each card slot was inlaid with a character: Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui.
The eight parts rotated, forming the Eight Trigrams.
Looking at the magic array in front of him.
Qin Shi was shocked. "How is this possible?"
"Shi Tou, what's wrong?" Jade In The Book asked nervously.
"I know this magic array. It's the Demon Slaying Heavenly Magic Array. When I was in the Qin family, it was this Demon Slaying Heavenly Magic Array. The Collapsing Jade was the core of the magic array, and it sealed the demons inside," Qin Shi answered with certainty.
"Demon Slaying Heavenly Magic Array?"
Jade In The Book was stunned. She squinted her eyes and was silent for a while. Then, she suddenly understood and said in surprise, "I understand, I understand everything!"
"Sister Yu, what do you understand?" Qin Shi was slightly puzzled.
"This Purgatory Tower, if I'm not wrong, is not a holy place for cultivation. It should be a sealed forbidden area," Jade In The Book said after thinking for a while.
"Sealed forbidden area?" Qin Shi was startled.
"Yes, it was because of this Demon Slaying Heavenly Magic Array that the tens of thousands of wild beasts in the Purgatory Tower were sealed. Because the wild beasts were only sealed, they could continuously produce spiritual power, which led to the astonishing purity of the spiritual power here," Jade In The Book explained.
"You mean that the spiritual power we absorbed was all produced by the wild beasts?"
"That's right," Jade In The Book said with certainty.
Qin Shi suddenly understood and patted his head. "No wonder. Now that the wild beasts sealed here have been swallowed by the demons, the spiritual pressure and spiritual power have also disappeared …"
"Yes, because the higher the level, the stronger the wild beasts sealed, the stronger the spiritual power and spiritual pressure."
Jade in the Book nodded her head. Soon after, she fell into deep thought for a while and said, "However … I am very curious. Just who could seal tens of thousands of Desolate Beasts in this Purgatory Tower?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi also became serious. This Purgatory Tower had existed for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years. No one knew its origin. In other words, these wild beasts had been sealed for thousands of years?
"Shi Tou, look at the center of the altar!"
Just as Qin Shi was pondering, Jade In The Book cried out in surprise.
Qin Shi was stunned. After he came back to his senses, he looked in the direction that Jade In The Book was pointing. Immediately, he was shocked.
"Demon?"
He saw a huge fierce beast carved on the altar in the center of the formation.
Most importantly, Qin Shi had seen this wild beast before. Its whole body was black and mysterious. It had the head of a dragon and the body of a lion. It had horseshoes, antlers, and nine blood-red eyes between its eyebrows … Wasn't this the demon on his arm?
"Look, there are words carved below," Jade In The Book said.
Qin Shi tried to keep calm. His eyes looked at the bottom of the altar. There was a line of blurred words below the altar.
He squinted and stared at the words, "Devouring Heaven Demon Monarch?"
"Is this the true name of the demon?"
Qin Shi firmly remembered these four words in his heart. Immediately, he looked at the words behind. Unexpectedly, the more he read, the more frightened he became.
This was the record of the origin of the Purgatory Tower.
"The Purgatory Tower, ten thousand years ago, was created by the Devouring Heaven Demon Monarch. It was created to punish thousands of wild beasts."
"Gulp, I can't believe this Purgatory Tower was created by the demon."
Qin Shi fiercely choked and said in horror, "I can't believe that the demon had such a terrible power ten thousand years ago."
"Hmm … The source of everything actually comes back to the demon in your hand. No wonder it would charge out of the ninth floor in a frenzy and easily break through the Demon Slaying Heavenly Formation." Jade in the Book was also extremely shocked.
"Hmm … This demon is too terrible."
"Shi Tou … I'm really curious about the origin of the Qin family. How could you seal such a terrible monster?" Jade In The Book pursed her lips and sighed.
Qin Shi shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Don't make wild guesses. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I still can't figure it out … No matter what, this operation in the Purgatory Tower was daunting but not dangerous …"
"Daunting but not dangerous?
Naive! "
But at this time, a deep voice suddenly exploded in the space of the tenth floor.
