What If I Can't Die?
chapter-386

Emperor Qian was forced back by the explosion and his eyes filled with shock.

In a short period of time, before they even had the chance to help, Song Shi had resolved the three biggest problem Great Qian was facing.

He was too powerful. Not to mention his current level, even a true late-stage Soul Transformation cultivator would not be able to do it.

"He's simply invincible. His body is like a Numinous artifacts. There's nothing it can't burn. He has thick Nomological power and powerful divine powers… No one in this continent is his match."

Emperor Qian sighed. "Only a true immortal can be so invincible. There's nothing surprising. If I were the reincarnation of an immortal, I would definitely have such a foundation too."

The other cultivators of Sky Demon Cult who were still rational, all seized the opportunity to escape.

Song Shi walked out of the aftermath of the explosion and ignored these small fries.

He lowered his head and took a look at his body. The torn skin on his chest had already repaired itself and was as good as new. There was no need to do anything special.

The clothes formed by his Dharmic powers returned to normal. He leisurely arrived in front of Demon Venerable Yu Hua and curled his lips, "As expected, forcefully increasing your strength will cause your foundation to be unstable. You only look powerful on the outside, but you're actually weak on the inside."

Demon Venerable Yu Hua did not have any cheats. He relied on the Demonic Qi and some other methods to forcefully break through, exhausting his potential and nurturing himself. He was actually not very powerful at all.

It was even easier for Song Shi to kill him than to kill Green Flame Demon Venerable. For example, he only had to inject the compressed Supreme Yang True Fire into Demon Venerable Yu Hua's body to kill him.

Suddenly, he saw a bag in the midst of the charred remains. His eyes lit up and he picked it up happily. "It's actually here. I thought this was lost in the spatial storm!"

He was pleasantly surprised. This was his Heaven and Earth Pouch. It contained a lot of his assets and basically contained the resources he had accumulated over the years.

"Looks like the Sky Demon Saint only took some top-notch treasures. It left the other things for him, and it just so happened that I was able to chance by it."

Song Shi checked. Most of the cultivation resources were still there, but a few Numinous artifacts were gone. Only the Blood Dragon, which had advanced from Dharma treasures to numinous artifact, was left.

This was not bad. After all, there were some resources accumulated by the Demon Cult that Demon Venerable Yu Hua had placed inside. It was not comparable to his few Numinous artifacts, but it was not a small number.

He put away the spoils of war of the other two fellows and scanned them. They too were not bad.

The ever-changing divine transformation art that he wanted to learn previously was here. There was also a special cultivation technique called the Demon Seeding Technique that corresponded to the methods of that Thousand Faces and the Madman had used.

"Congratulations, son-in-law. I hereby name you the strongest person in the Boundless Continent."

Emperor Qian flew over with a smile.

Song Shi had dealt with Demon Venerable Yu Hua and the other higher-ups of the Sky Demon Cult. In fact, he had also helped their Imperial City resolve a huge problem. How could they not be happy?

"Brother-in-law, you're indeed number one in the world."

Qian Wuji followed suit.

Song Shi enjoyed the praise. He looked up at the demonic clouds in the sky and said, "We have to seal the passageway as soon as possible. We can't let the Demonic Qi continue wreaking havoc."

He wanted to protect this continent, so he naturally could not let the Demonic Qi continue to pollute the Spiritual Qi in this world.

"Indeed, if this continues, the Imperial City will really be hopeless!"

Emperor Qian revealed an anxious expression and arranged, "Wuji, deal with these remaining mid to low-level demonic creatures. Your brother-in-law and I will go to the spatial passageway exit to take a look."

"Yes, Father. Be careful. The situation deep underground is unknown."

Qian Wuji nodded.

Song Shi had already opened the damaged Eight Gates Spirit Suppression Array and entered it.

The array formation along the way had already been corroded by the Demonic Qi and was about to collapse. Once the Array Formation completely failed, the Demonic Qi inside would erupt further.

Under the influence of the Array Formation and the distance, the deeper one went, the more Demonic Qi accumulated.

Emperor Qian, who was following behind, had to use all his strength to resist the corrosion of the Demonic Qi. He looked like a glowing figure wrapped in black gas.

Song Shi did not deliberately stop the Demonic Qi from entering his body. He had been trying to fuse with the Demonic Qi so that he could survive in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

At this moment, the space cracked. Song Shi entered through a spatial crack, and the Demonic Qi began to fade.

Song Shi observed for a moment and said thoughtfully, "It's because of the violent reaction with the Spiritual Qi that the Demonic Qi outside is revealed, and a lot has been accumulated too."

He followed the spatial rift and arrived at the core of the original array. There was already a huge spatial hole here, and endless Demonic Qi surged out of it.

"Son-in-law, is there a solution?"

Emperor Qian could not think of any solution himself and could only ask Song Shi for guidance.

"This array formation should have been very powerful. It shouldn't have been broken so easily. Who asked you to take away the eight Dharma treasures here?"

Song Shi questioned, "According to the grade of the array formation, the treasures holding the line should at least be Numinous artifacts. This time, I didn't see a single one. Even the last time I came, it only had Normal Dharma treasures holding the line."

"Ahem, this array has been passed down since ancient times. In the beginning, there were indeed eight Numinous artifacts holding the line. In the later years, the Numinous artifacts here were gradually taken away for various purposes. In order to refine the Numinous treasures, the Black Dragon Spear, we took away the last three Numinous artifacts and used them as refinement materials."

Emperor Qian smiled bitterly. "We thought that even if the Dharma treasures were the main array, the half-dead Sky Demon Saint wouldn't be able to do anything. When the Black Dragon Spear was refined, it could instead strengthen the Array Formation here. In the end, the Sky Demon Cult took the opportunity to release it."

"How presumptuous."

Song Shi mocked. This array was similar to a dam. How could it withstand continuous digging?

Emperor Qian could only smile apologetically. "It's our fault. I don't know if we can make up for it."

"Of course you can. Actually, the solution is very simple. I'll block this passageway and stop the Demonic Qi from flowing out. You guys can resolve some of the Demonic Qi accumulated in the Array Formation. Then, make the best use of your time to repair the Array Formation. Insert the damaged Black Dragon Spear into the core of the Array Formation, so you can control it from now on."

After Song Shi finished speaking, nine suns appeared and floated around him. They quickly evaporated the Demonic Qi, creating an isolation effect.

This was a stupid idea. But Song Shi could only do this now. Otherwise, if the Demonic Qi kept surging over like into the Boundless Continent a flood, the Array Formation here would not be able to be set up at all. Even if he tried to set it up forcefully, it would be corroded by the Demonic Qi.

"Thank you for all your help. I'll clear the Demonic Qi outside and get them to prepare the materials to repair the Array Formation."

When Qian Wuji saw that Song Shi was willing to expend his Nomological power to block this huge hole, he did not reject foolishly. He quickly turned around and sprung into action.

Song Shi stood in front of the spatial passageway and burned his Nomological power to forcefully cut off the Demonic Qi from leaking out.

During this process, he could also study Demonic Qi and Void Sutra.

"If only I could control the power of space. I could directly repair the space and block this broken hole."

Song Shi muttered. He had found a convenient method from the Void Sutra. Unfortunately, the power of space was not something that he could control at his current realm. Not to mention the Void Refinement realm, even those who had reached the Soul Transformation realm were not all qualified to come into contact with it.

While maintaining the nine suns in the sky, he used his Nomological power and Demonic Qi to corrode each other to cut off the flow of Demonic Qi, while fusing the Demonic Qi with his Spiritual Qi.

Previously, in the Heavenly Demon World, only his Dharmic powers and Demonic Qi corroded each other. Here, the surroundings were filled with Demonic Qi polluting the Spiritual Qi.

This gave him a rich source of reference. It did not take long for him to grasp the trick. The Demonic Qi and Nomological power in his body no longer clashed violently, causing him to explode from the Demonic Qi.
