Cultivation Online

"Miss Lan, what is that thing? It can even speak!" Yuan was more amazed by this unknown entity’s existence than feeling fearful of it.

"You’ve never heard of a demon before?" Lan Yingying looked at him with surprise.

"A demon? That thing? This is my first time hearing about them, much less seeing one." Yuan said, and he continued, "How are they any different compared to magical beasts?"

"They’re vastly superior to magical beasts overall. Just like how magical beasts are stronger than human cultivators at the same cultivation level, demons are stronger than magical beasts and by a huge margin as well. A Spirit Apprentice demon can even defeat a Spirit Warrior cultivator with ease." Lan Yingying explained to him.

"Furthermore, they cannot be killed by normal means and are essentially immortal since they can survive most injuries, even if you put a hole in their heart..."

"What? Such powerful entities exist? How come nobody talks about them outside?" Yuan was speechless.

"I can’t tell you since I don’t know what it’s like outside, but in this world, they are very infamous for their brutality and tremendous strength. However, they are also very rare, and most people live their entire lives without even seeing one."

"Then I guess we’re super lucky to encounter one right now?" Yuan asked. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hey, what are you two talking about? I also want to join in on the conversation." The demon suddenly said to them. However, it remained standing there, seemingly unwilling to approach them for some reason.

"How are you unaffected by the Lord’s Sword Aura? You demons shouldn’t be able to get this close to the Divine Forest." Lan Yingying spoke with a frown on her face.

The demon laughed before speaking, "It’s all thanks to your parents. Thanks to their blood, we’ve gained some resistance to the Sword Aura, but this is the furthest I can go for now. Sooner or later, we’ll be able to enter the Divine Forest and consume you and those old bastards."

Lan Yingying gritted her teeth in anger after hearing the demon mention her parents, and she lifted her arm with her Spirit Master cultivation fully activated.

"Shut up! Sacred Fire!" She shouted.

A ball of white flames appeared in front of her palms before flying at the demon.

However, despite seeing the ball of flames flying at it, the demon didn’t even bother to move and remained standing there with a nonchalant look on its face.

The white flames engulfed the demon a moment later, but it didn’t show any reactions.

"You’ve improved, little princess. However, compared to those old bastards, your Sacred Fire is still too weak to do any real harm to our bodies, much less kill us." The demon spoke as it bathed in her flames casually.

A few moments later, the white flames disappeared on their own, leaving behind minor burn marks on the demon’s red skin. However, these injuries immediately healed within seconds as well.

"Miss Lan... you..." Instead of paying attention to the demon, Yuan was fully focused on Lan Yingying at this moment, mostly because her appearance had experienced some changes.

It wasn’t anything shocking, but Lan Yingying’s black hair had suddenly turned pure white, and her azure-colored eyes turned into a beautiful pink color.

Lan Yingying’s minor transformation reminded him of Feng Yuxiang’s transformation when her hairs and eyes changed colors after consuming his blood.

However, it didn’t immediately occur to Yuan that Lan Yingying could be a magical beast like Feng Yuxiang since he thought Feng Yuxiang was unique as a Divine Beast and a phoenix, not to mention her curse, hence why she could transform into a human.

The demon suddenly spoke, "Don’t worry, little princess. I didn’t come here to kill you today. I’m here to relay a message from our Demon Lord, who said he’ll let you live if you become his woman. If you don’t, the Demon Clan will raid the Divine Forest in two weeks when we fully absorb your parents’ blood."

"I’d rather die than to become that bastard’s plaything!" Lan Yingying spoke with a fierce look on her face.

"Don’t be so quick to make up your mind. You have two weeks to decide." The demon shrugged.

Then it turned to look at Yuan and continued to speak, "As for you, human... I won’t let you go so easily. If you want to continue, you’ll have to kill—"

In the middle of the demon’s sentence, it was forced to stop speaking when a gaping hole suddenly appeared in its head, shocking Lan Yingying who had no idea what just happened.

The demon collapsed onto the ground in a lifeless manner.

"W-What happened?!" she exclaimed.

The next second, a dagger appeared out of thin air and hovered directly beside Yuan.

"That’s your Soul Weapon! It can turn invisible?!" Lan Yingying was left speechless by the Starry Abyss’s ridiculous ability.

"Yes." Yuan nodded with a calm look on his face, and he said, "I hope you don’t mind my actions just now. That demon is clearly very dangerous, and it made you cry, so I decided to take care of it."

Lan Yingying looked at him with a loose jaw, not realizing that tears had formed by her eyes.

But alas, one cannot kill a demon with raw strength.

"Take care of me? A mere Spirit Warrior human? Hahaha! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year long!"

The demon’s voice suddenly returned, taking Yuan by surprise.

"What the heck? It’s still not dead even with an injury like that?" Yuan turned to look at the demon with a surprised face, and sure enough, it was standing again.

The gaping hole in its face also began to close back up, and in just a few moments, the demon healed fully.

"I’ll admit that you’d managed to surprise me with that invisible attack just now. However, no matter how many times you open a hole in my face, you won’t be able to kill me." The demon looked at Yuan with immense contempt in its gaze, almost like it was looking at an insect and not a human.
