Chapter Eighty-Three: Demonization

  Normal top-grade spiritual equipment, each one is a unique and extraordinary item. Even if the disciples of the Refining Qi stage have advanced to the Building Foundation stage, their true energy can be transformed into a body of true yuan, allowing them to use Building Foundation stage spiritual equipment. However, these top-grade spiritual equipment are still difficult to replace with ordinary spiritual equipment. Not to mention low-grade spiritual equipment, even many mid-grade spiritual equipment may not be able to match the power and utility of top-grade spiritual equipment. This is precisely why top-grade spiritual equipment is valuable - it has great power and can be used by lower-level disciples.

  In terms of pure power, some high-quality spiritual artifacts can be more powerful than top-grade arcane artifacts. However, in terms of value, the value of high-quality spiritual artifacts is far inferior to that of top-grade arcane artifacts.

  Of course, that refers to the normal extreme treasure of the Dharma. The Nirvana Dharma Wheel is an exception among them.

  That was an extreme-quality magic weapon that Moqi had obtained at the beginning of his foundation-building period, and it was also Moqi's famous magic weapon, as well as his former life-bound magic weapon. It was unknown how many foundation-building cultivators had died under this magic weapon. As Moqi's life-bound magic weapon, after a hundred years of continuous tempering and refinement, its power had been steadily increasing. Until Moqi reached the second layer of the Golden Elixir period, he gradually felt that the growth of the Silent Annihilation Magic Wheel had already reached its limit, unable to match his cultivation level, and unable to adapt to the more intense battles between strong cultivators in the Golden Elixir period. Only then did he spend a huge amount of resources, mobilizing the sect's master craftsmen to refine a new magic weapon for himself, the Refining Hell Treasure Wheel, which replaced his beloved Silent Annihilation Magic Wheel.

  This is a top-grade artifact that can be used as the main artifact by Wan Gui until the Golden Elixir stage, and it's extremely precious. Its power should not be underestimated. After being refined by Wan Gui for a hundred years, in some sense, this top-grade artifact has surpassed the normal category of top-grade artifacts and will definitely not be weaker than high-quality spiritual artifacts. Even if Wan Gui suffered damage when removing the divine seal imprint, reducing its power. Even if Lei Dong couldn't fully utilize the true power of the Annihilation Wheel due to insufficient cultivation.

  But it has to be admitted that Wan Gui giving this top-notch, one-of-a-kind artifact that's a game-changer for Refining Qi stage cultivators to Lei Dong is indeed too exaggerated. It's worth noting that artifacts of this level are never given out unless the recipient is truly considered a successor, and even then, it's not something that would be easily handed over. Giving such an artifact to a disciple to participate in the ten-year entrance exam for new disciples is simply bullying others.

  As a result, Lei Dong's Nirvana Dharma Wheel was activated. Even the elders on the viewing platform couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling very dissatisfied with Wan Gui's destructive tactics that broke the implicit rules. The purpose of the Great Competition is to stimulate the cultivation of the personally taught disciples, and to select the truly elite disciples. It's not about giving a large number of Foundation Building period disciples treasures that they can't resist, just to see who can eliminate whom.

  These, although not explicitly stated, are only implicit rules. However, in the daily life of each cave and government, they still follow this implicit rule. They won't be too excessive, at most secretly giving a top-grade artifact, and repeatedly reminding them not to use it in critical moments.

  But Wan Gui Lao Zu was an old god, and although this matter had indeed broken the rules, as long as Lei Dong got rid of Bai Li Yun, everything would be easy to say. Even if it were calculated early on, the money won from Ku Gu would only need to take out a part of it to suppress this matter. Moreover, Wan Gui was after all a golden elixir old ancestor with outstanding potential. The sect would not possibly force him to betray himself for such a small matter, cutting off their own arm? The rules were just the rules, and not the official door rules.

  Poor Lei Dong, he still thought this was just a normal top-grade artifact. Although during his usual practice sessions, he felt that its power was excessive, with a single full-force strike able to pierce through several meters of thick, hard rock. But this was his first top-grade artifact, and he had no idea what kind of power a top-grade attack artifact should have.

  But Baili Yun was shocked and unable to move. The thing brought him an overwhelming sense of oppression, its aura firmly locking him in place, leaving him immobile.

  Bang!

  That superior magic shield, which had already been cracked after the intense battle, couldn't withstand the impact of the Nirvana Wheel's powerful existence. In an instant, it was blasted into fragments and scattered everywhere. However, the Nirvana Wheel didn't lose any momentum after shattering the shield, and seemed to be about to split the entire Hundred Mile Cloud in two.

  Baili Yun's face turned pale and he was drenched in cold sweat. He silently cursed, what kind of artifact is this, its power is so formidable?

  With a swift motion, his left hand rose up, revealing that jet-black and ferocious left arm that was completely inhuman. Stretching forward, a powerful and forceful palm burst forth with a cluster of jet-black, gleaming energy, fiercely colliding with the Annihilation Dharmachakra.

  A loud crash.

  Two extremely powerful forces, neither of which belonged to the Refining Qi stage, violently collided and surged with wave after wave. Even Baili Yun himself was shaken by the impact force, spitting out blood as he flew backward.

  The thunder was unbearable, and when driving the Wheel of Dharma to extinction, most of his divine thoughts had to be attached to this object. Thus, the power that exceeded the refining period collided with each other, naturally shocking him so much that his heart and spirit were injured, his face turned pale, and his spirit was disheartened. Similarly, he looked at the hundred-mile cloud flying upside down in shock and doubt, and that arm that didn't seem human-like at all.

  "Lei Dong, it's you who forced me, it's you who forced me."

  Baili Yun stood still in mid-air, letting out a madman-like shriek, his face twisted and distorted.

  "Ah ah ah~"

  Painful and eerie cries, continuously came from Baili Yun's mouth, followed by his breathing becoming low and heavy, "Wu Wu Wu", like a wild beast, emitting a dense low growl.

  "Holy Devil Arm? Devilization?"

  On the viewing platform, Wan Gui's expression changed as he exclaimed: "Ku Gu, you've actually grafted the Sacred Demon's severed limbs onto your own disciple? Don't you know what the consequences will be?"

  "Hahaha. Wan Gui, this is all your fault." The withered bone's zombie-like face also revealed a ferocious and terrifying expression: "Even if it's completely demonized, what's the big deal? With my methods, can't I still control that insignificant new demon? As long as I train and control it, once it grows up, I will eventually have a puppet that is not inferior to your top-notch ghost general. This Holy Demon Left Arm is perfectly suited for Bai Li Yun, his spiritual roots are excellent, and the hatred in his heart is sufficient. The success rate is extremely high, otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to give it up!"

  Wan Gui's face was somewhat uncertain, although this newly demonized demon wouldn't have too much abnormal power. But for Lei Dong, who was only at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, it was extremely fatal. Could it be that he would lose this time?

  ……

  Lei Dong was shocked in his heart, looking at Baili Yun's body surrounded by demonic energy, trembling with painful moans. His intuition and experience told him that this would absolutely not be a good thing. With his personality, how could he possibly do something like waiting to see what would happen, and what kind of fool he would become.

  He immediately suppressed the turbulent and unceasing spiritual trauma, commanding the three ghostly soldiers to charge forward with their lives. The more than 200 fierce ghosts in the Wan Gui Flag also covered them like a dark tide. At the same time, he felt that his true energy was about to be exhausted, so he swallowed two more Return to Origin Pills.

  Recalled the Annihilation Wheel, he thought of taking advantage of Baili Yun's unawareness to launch a fierce attack. However, as soon as he activated it, his head felt like it was about to explode with intense pain. Covered in cold sweat, he had no choice but to retract the Annihilation Wheel. He placed the remaining three pellets of Dark Thunder in the palm of his hand, and with a ghostly movement, he quickly closed in on his target.

  Tearing apart~ Baili Yun's body began to burst towards the majestic direction, and the violently swelling muscles tore through his clothes. That strange arm, a strip of black energy emerged, spreading from the joint of his arm, devouring everything in its path.

  Three ghostly soldiers killed them one after another, the bloodthirsty ghost soldier struck first with a single slash of his knife, and the strong wind spread in all directions. But that Ba Li Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his black claws quickly probed out, and he grasped the bloodthirsty one's knife with one hand.

  The excellent metal knife was pinched into fragments with a "pa" sound, and then the demon claw sucked again, grasping the bloodthirsty ghost tightly in its hand.

  "Cheers!"

  A dark power burst out of the demonic hand again. The bloodthirsty ghost let out a miserable scream, shattered by the powerful force into pieces. At the same time, Leidong's heart was suddenly torn apart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. In great horror, the three hidden Yin Lei were desperately thrown at Baili Yun.
