What If I Can't Die?

404 The Path of Demon Refinement

“Of course I have to go…”

Song Shi was very interested. Be it dealing with the spatial passageway or the danger of this forbidden area, it was necessary to take a look.

“I’ll keep you for questioning first. If you don’t behave, I’ll slap you to death.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader could only endure Song Shi’s words.

He didn’t want to die, even though he was old.

After threatening The Thousand Leaves Leader, Song Shi continued to treat him like a pendant to be carried around and rushed straight to the Burning Heaven Forbidden Ground.

This time, the distance was even further. The original tribe of the Thousand Flames Demon Saint was located in the southwest of the Sky Region of the Demon Continent, more than a million miles away from the territory of the Thousand Leaves Clan.

It was impossible for him to use Divine Teleportation Footwork right now so he asked The Thousand Leaves Leader to take out his flying demonic treasure and used its strength to move forward.

The Thousand Leaves Leader also received some buffer and regained is deformed body to normal. He stood at the front of a dark green flying magic treasure that looked like a leaf to provide strength.

Song Shi lay on the rattan chair that should have belonged to The Thousand Leaves Leader and watched calmly.

The sun in the Heavenly Demon World was purple and the ground was gray. The color of the entire world was dark, and he was not used to it.

“The sooner I settle this, the sooner I can return. It’s better to go to the Black Spirit Realm. It should be more comfortable there.”

Song Shi thought to himself. He closed his eyes and continued to explore the mysteries of the Demonic Qi.

Their Three Thousand Great Dao were all the same. He did not believe that he could not use Spiritual Qi to develop this Demonic Qi.

“This old man said that he needed to change his meridians in order to come to the Demon Realm. Could it be related to this?”

The Thousand Leaves Leader’s words appeared in Song Shi’s mind. He said lazily, “Old man, do cultivators from the lower realms who ascend to the Demon Realm have to change their blood to cultivate?”

“Only those without demon bloodlines need to change their blood. To be precise, they need to fuse with a certain bloodline before they can cultivate normally. Otherwise, it will be difficult to refine the Demonic Qi. Even if they can, it will be twice as effective.”

He glanced at Song Shi meaningfully, clearly sensing Song Shi’s situation.

“Is there no other way?” Song Shi frowned. The level of the Heavenly Demon World was quite high. He did not mind refining Demonic Qi to cultivate, but there was no need to waste his energy if he had to work twice as hard.

“There’s no choice. This is set by the rules of the Heavenly Demon World. Perhaps comprehending the rules can exempt me from this restriction.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader shook its head and probed, “If you’re interested, I can make the decision to give you the only divine vein in the clan. With the help of this divine vein, it won’t be too difficult for you to break through again.”

“Hehe, if I wanted to fuse with the devil vein, why can’t I just directly fuse with the most powerful emperor vein?”

Song Shi was disdainful and looked down on the bloodline of the Thousand leaves Family.

The Thousand Leaves Leader was not angry. “Many ascenders have the same mindset. However, the power of the bloodline is the core of all races. Basically, it is strictly forbidden to leak it out. I gave you the divine bloodline because I had no choice. Morover regarding the top imperial bloodline in this world, such existences are rare and have never been leaked it out.”

“Oh, then I shall set a precedence.”

Originally, Song Shi was just saying it casually, but at this moment, he was actually interested.

“You’re ambitious. Unfortunately, those with pure imperial bloodlines become saints when they grow up. They’re also protected by Great Sages. Those who scheme to steal the bloodline thus gave up on the imperial bloodlines. Even if they covet it, they don’t have enough strength go through with their schemes.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader chuckled. He did not think that Song Shi was strong enough to come into contact with such an existence.

The other party was indeed powerful, but he was only barely comparable to the Demon Saint. What right did he have to target the Imperial Emperor Bloodline?

“What kind of look was that? Do you want to be beaten up?”

Song Shi raised his hand.

“No, I’m just stating the facts.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader realized that he was still a prisoner and had no choice but to act like one. “Actually, there’s a way to obtain the Demon Body without using the Demon Vein.”

Song Shi took another look and gestured for him to continue.

“If you have the chance to soak in the Primitive Demon Pool and be tempered by the Primitive Demon Liquid, you will have the purest Demon Body in this world with infinite potential.”

“Primitive Demon Pool?”

“This is the origin of the Heavenly Demon World. It’s said that it’s the Sea of Qi of the Demonic Creation Celestial and contains the most origin power.”

“Hehe, I’m supposing that it’s not easy to approach such a place.”

“Yes, the Demon Pool is located in the Origin of the realm. That place filled with chaos and is protected by the Emperor. Ordinary demons are not qualified to approach it at all. Even the Emperor finds it difficult to enter.”

Song Shi pursed his lips. “Then I might as well seize the emperor’s bloodline.”

“No, that might be the case for others, but you’re quite young. You might have a chance.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader sensed Song Shi’s vigorous vitality. He thought for a moment and said, “Every ten thousand years, our Demon Realm will hold a grand gathering to screen the geniuses of our realm. It’s called the Demon Refinement Path. If you can get first place, you will have a chance to enter the Primitive Demon Pool to temper your body.”

Song Shi’s gaze flickered. “Is the trial going to start soon?”

“It’s already begun. If you’re interested, you can join because this trial will last for eight hundred years. It has only started for three hundred years. There are still five hundred years left. You can join during this period.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader bewitched him. “If you’re interested, you can go to the Primordial Demon Stele. As long as you enter the trial space, you will automatically participate.”

“Let’s talk about it in a few days. But you can tell me about this Demon Refinement Path.”

Song Shi was interested and could not help but think of the Langya Immortal Dao Meeting. There were many treasures there, so the Demon Refinement Path would probably not be bad.

“I’m not sure about that. The Demon Refinement Path is very mysterious. It seems that the participants either can’t say much or are unwilling to reveal it. They only know that if they want to participate in the trial, they have to reach the level of a Demon Venerable within a hundred years.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader shook its head.

“Soul Transformation in a hundred years!”

Song Shi’s expression changed. To be able to do this, he was either a genius or he had relied on external forces. For example, he was the latter.

“That’s right. If you want to reach the Soul Transformation realm in a hundred years, you basically have to have a Holy Vein to have a chance. Therefore, this is a competition between the top geniuses of the Heavenly Demon World. It’s a place where the various demon races compete for their foundation. We small races don’t even have the qualifications to participate.”

The Thousand Leaves Leader sighed.

“Are there rich rewards?”

“I’m not sure, but I heard that those who can walk out of the trial have basically all become emperors. There are also many who have ascended to the Primitive Demon Realm.”

Song Shi remembered this matter. After knowing the location of the Primordial Demon Stele, he did not ask further.

The closer they got to the forbidden area, the higher the temperature became. The vegetation on the way also decreased continuously, finally turning into a desert.

Heat waves rolled over. Song Shi felt an incomparably huge heat ahead. It was even more terrifying than the sun. The entire Void was distorting.

Continuing forward, the horizon gradually turned fiery red. Red flames visible to the naked eye rolled and rumbled, as if the heavens were roaring. The red flames looked like anger.

The Supreme Yang True Fire in Song Shi’s body, which was already sentient, began to tremble, as if it was facing a behemoth in the fire. It instinctively felt uneasy.

At the same time, Song Shi realized that the Demonic Qi around him had disappeared, as if it had been devoured by the flames in the distance. While he sized up it, The Thousand Leaves Leader knelt down.

“The Great Emperor’s Heaven-burning Fury is too terrifying. The entire Thousand Flames Clan has been annihilated by it.”

His eyes were filled with fear. Not to mention the real anc actual Primordial Fire Emperor, even the remaining flames from more than ten thousand years ago were enough to suppress him.
