Chapter 45: Passive: Armor-Piercing Spear!?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Zhou Feng’s wildly beating heart gradually calmed down, he swallowed Sun Gui’s Demon-Devouring Gu.

Soon, an enormous amount of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi filled up his meridians, and the Demon-Devouring Gu in his body also began to happily absorb Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi.

Unfortunately, the Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi were extremely chaotic.

It was evident that Sun Gui had been continuously swallowing other people’s Demon-Devouring Gu to raise his cultivation.

Naturally, Sun Gui’s spiritual power was not pure at all, so all sorts of resistance and blockages arose spontaneously.

The circulation of spiritual power was like a rusty old car, slow and inefficient.

What was more serious was that the Blood Qi had mixed with many people’s Blood Qi and had not even been refined.

“This...”

Zhou Feng’s muscles started to expand while blue veins spread throughout his body like a dragon.

His Spiritual Qi started to surge and move throughout his body.

The side effects of this Demon-Devouring Gu were somewhat unexpected, but this, fortunately, was within Zhou Feng’s tolerance.

The Demon-Devouring Gu in his body did not care if the Spiritual Qi was pure or not and whether the Blood Qi was chaotic or not. It would simply devour them!

The surge of Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi also initiated the Demon-Devouring Gu’s reverse-feeding. The portion of ‘food’ was a little large, so the Demon-Devouring Gu was a little bloated.

Most importantly, Zhou Feng had obtained the Demon-Devouring Gu’s approval.

It had only been a short while, but there was already so much Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi for it to swallow.

Thus, the Demon-Devouring Gu started to invest, feeding back pure Spiritual Qi and Blood Qi.

It wanted to assist Zhou Feng in raising his cultivation quickly to devour more Demon-Devouring Gu.

Hence, his cultivation rose, and he broke through to the Qi Condensation realm in an instant.

1st Level of Qi Condensation…

2nd Level of Qi Condensation…

…

9th Level of Qi Condensation!?

The Spiritual Qi in Zhou Feng’s body was crazily compressed, and his cultivation level instantly soared to the 9tth Level of Qi Condensation.

Even though his Spiritual Qi appeared chaotic, its quality still rose.

Compared to the Qi Gathering realm, the Spiritual Qi in his body now could completely crush it. Even the injuries on his body had all recovered.

“This is too awesome!”

This cheat-like speed of advancement was really fascinating.

No wonder those people who were addicted to the unorthodox path were willing to indulge even though they knew there were many side effects.

This feeling was simply intoxicating.

Can you imagine it?

You didn’t need to do anything at all. You didn’t need to cultivate dully, nor did you need to comprehend anything.

Just by swallowing the others’ Demon-Devouring Gu, you would break through from initial-level Qi Gathering realm to late-level Qi Condensation realm in one go.

Such a quick shortcut was really hard to refuse.

Even if the Spiritual Qi was not pure enough, the ?lood Qi was chaotic, and the battle prowess might be slightly lower than those of the same realm, this was still acceptable.

Moreover, the above-mentioned problems could be slowly solved.

“The Demonic Path! No wonder it exists to this day!”

Zhou Feng forced himself to calm down as a lot of negative thoughts had appeared in his mind just now.

He had to restrain himself. If he allowed his desires to consume him and acted recklessly, then he would be no different from those madmen on Bitter Bamboo Peak.

After calming down, he looted the corpse, which had become a habit of his. After all, he could be considered poor and did not have many businesses to back him financially.

“Is this the knife?”

Zhou Feng picked up the knife that Sun Gui had used to attack him.

At that moment, he noticed that this knife was not stained with any blood.

It still emitted a faint cold glimmer under the dim moonlight, giving people a bizarre chill.

He also noticed that the handle of the knife was just a piece of broken wood.

He may not know what material it was made of, but he had already tried its sharpness.

Even with the protection of the Demon-Devouring Armor and Bone Coating, the knife had almost killed him.

He didn’t know where Sun Gui had gotten his hands on such a weapon.

Could this be the legendary spiritual artifact?

But it did not seem like it!

It was said that spiritual artifacts needed to be soaked in Spiritual Qi for a long time, and they would possess incredible spirituality.

Once an artifact was infused with Spiritual Qi, it would be able to unleash great power.

Because of this, the number of spiritual artifacts had always been very small, except for the need to find the right materials.

They also needed special methods to maintain them, or they would just be ordinary weapons.

Next, he searched Sun Gui’s body.

Unfortunately, there was nothing.

Apart from the small knife that he had just obtained, Sun Gui did not have anything on him.

“I should be able to draw passive skills now!”

After a simple search, Zhou Feng turned his attention back to the skill panel.

According to his previous experience, since he had devoured so much Spiritual Qi, the skill panel’s progress bar was definitely full.

As expected, the progress bar was not only full, but its color also changed.

“It actually turned purple?”

Zhou Feng was a little surprised as the progress bar’s color had actually turned purple. This meant that the passive skill that he had drawn would definitely not be of low quality.

Although it had not reached gold quality, it definitely would not be too bad.

Hope was a passive skill that could directly increase one’s battle prowess.

To be honest, he had been lucky to win earlier.

If Sun Gui’s mental state had been normal, he would have had almost no chance to escape from his pursuit.

That feeling of powerlessness left one hopeless.

Moreover, he hated being crushed by others.

As he had said before, the thing that he hated the most was being weaker than his opponent in terms of realm.

Challenging someone of a higher cultivation level sounded very impressive, but it wasn’t something he wanted either.

What Zhou Feng wanted the most was to suppress his opponent in terms of cultivation level. As for being challenged by some monsters of a higher cultivation level?

This wasn’t within his considerations at all. In any case, he didn’t want to lose to his opponent in terms of cultivation level.

Therefore, this Demon-Devouring Technique really suited his mentality.

Anyway, putting aside other things for the time being, his cultivation speed was definitely fast enough.

“Draw!”

He suppressed those complicated thoughts in the blink of an eye as it was time to draw out the next passive skill.

[Drawing…]

[Drawing successful!]

Armor-Piercing Spear (Level 1): ?our attack is like a sharp spear, able to pierce through the enemy’s defense.

Each of your attacks will ignore 1% of the enemy’s defense and directly attack the main body.

Note: You can not cross a major realm.

‘This is… armor-piercing!?’

Zhou Feng was stunned upon seeing the passive skill’s description.

“Great! Finally, an offense-type passive!”

At that moment, he was exhilarated because he had finally drawn an offense-type passive skill.

Moreover, this passive seemed to be very perverse!

Directly ignoring the opponent’s defense? Attacking the enemy’s main body?

Although there were restrictions, and it wouldn’t be effective against enemies whose cultivation surpassed his, it was still strong enough.

Don’t look down on this 1% armor-piercing effect because it could directly attack the enemy’s main body.
