All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes
Chapter 100 - 100 99 The Taibai Fiend's Evil Qi

100: Chapter 99 The Taibai Fiend’s Evil Qi 100: Chapter 99 The Taibai Fiend’s Evil Qi At the Forbidden Seed location.

With the Five Metals Qi of the Jade Cutting Steel entering his body, under An Jing’s will, the Forbidden Seed began to extend and operate.

It continuously absorbed this external Gold Fiend, integrating it as part of itself, and then separated out numerous tiny parts that spread and condensed.

Then, it began to split, one into two, two into four…

just like a seed germinating, absorbing external nutrients to grow stronger.

Seconds and minutes passed…

An Jing’s body was undergoing constant changes.

Skin, flesh and blood, organs, bones, and even the every minute part of his deep blood vessels were changing, which was an optimization created by the refinement of Spirit Qi.

Since birth, a human body is nurtured by Spirit Qi, but if one does not undergo Spirit Awakening, they cannot actively absorb Spirit Qi and, naturally, will not be harmed by it.

Thus, the first active absorption of Spirit Qi brings about a great transformation.

An Jing felt that his entire body, from the inside out, was undergoing an essential change, becoming more adapted to Spirit Qi, and the burning sensation within his body was gradually subsiding.

The Spirit Qi he was drawing in, compared to the entire Spirit Vein and the Spirit Qi contained within the world, was insignificant, but for An Jing himself, his breathing became longer, his limbs stronger, and even his spine more flexible and resilient.

This was the first time An Jing felt such an apparent enhancement!

The Forbidden Seed within his body, with the influx of a large amount of Evil Qi from the Jade Cutting Steel, gradually merged with An Jing’s Essence Qi inside his body, split, and constructed a marvelous white talismanic Divine Prohibition in its embryonic form…

And within this embryonic form, strands of pure white Spirit Qi were being nurtured.

This was the unique Spiritual Power cultivated from the “Taibai Luminous Godly Ban” as the core cultivation method…

the Taibai Fiend Qi!

This strand of Spiritual Power flowed slowly in the dantian, rolling like mercury and akin to the light of Taibai moon.

Although it was just a thread, it already imparted a sense of solidity, purity, and clarity.

Exhale!

Opening his eyes, An Jing abruptly stood up, leaping down from the glazed platform, and with one step, he arrived at an ironwood puppet a zhang away.

He struck with a palm, the Taibai Fiend Qi within his dantian flowing smoothly with the action, coursing through his body and converging in his right arm.

As An Jing swung his hand blade, his entire right arm faintly radiated a pearly iron hue, as if the entirety of his right arm was wrought from pure metal, unbreakable.

Bam!!!

The ironwood puppet, which could previously withstand a punch from An Jing without moving, was violently bent backward under the Taibai Fiend Qi-enhanced chop to an astonishing arc, then rebounded fiercely!

At that moment, An Jing had already taken a step back, dodging the rebounding ironwood puppet, and watched his right arm in amazement.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

After the shock, An Jing felt a sharp, hot Qi recklessly charging left and right within the Jiang Palace; he immediately stimulated his Divine Skills with the Pathogenic Qi Sword Finger, and instantly he coughed out a mouthful of spicy Blood Qi.

In the Blood Qi, tiny specks of blood landed on the ground, and then quickly condensed into blood-colored metal, emitting a burnt metal stench.

After coughing out this mouthful of Blood Qi, An Jing felt incredibly comfortable throughout his body, with a hot and tingling sensation running through it, and especially in his right arm, the joints and flesh were heating and expanding, unleashing an astonishing sensation of power.

“Well done.”

At that moment, the Sword Spirit Subdue Evil also praised, “I was intending to remind you to expel the first surge of Evil Qi so it does not accumulate within the body, but you have already noticed it and expelled it!”

“After all, I had previously grasped the ‘Injury-Sword Finger,’ so I naturally knew that this was the time to use it.”

And An Jing, gazing at his own right hand, nodded slightly, “The strand of Evil Qi that I have condensed contains too much pure Golden Qi from the Jade Cutting Steel, too sharp, and thus momentarily unusable by me, accumulating inside the body would be harmful rather than beneficial.”

“Skills must be used to truly achieve Perfection.”

At this moment, silken strands of white Qi were condensing within An Jing’s body, and this time, the condensed Taibai Fiend Qi seemed much gentler and also more nimble, allowing An Jing to control it at will.

Just like brewing tea, where the overly strong first infusion is poured away.

Although cultivating with the aid of outside forces can be faster, it also carries many taboos.

Moreover, the Injury-Sword Finger had swept away the lingering hidden injuries caused by the Evil Born Demon’s attack on An Jing.

Raising his head, An Jing looked towards the ironwood puppet.

The ironwood puppet had returned to calm, no longer swaying, but there was a deep cut on its sturdy body from the shoulder to the center of the chest—a cut An Jing had just inflicted by directing Evil Qi with Divine Skill and unleashing it with a Sword Finger strike.

This was the power of Taibai Fiend Qi: even a thread could enhance a human body to near steel-like hardness and provide immense strength, enough to cleave an ironwood puppet.

This was no longer the ability of someone at the Inner Breath realm, but rather…

Inner Strength!

Or rather, it was Qi Refining Skills!

And it was not just that.

“Watch closely.”

The Sword Spirit guided An Jing to observe the center of the hand-sword cut—it was far too smooth, not like it was cleaved by hand nor by sheer force but the result of a strikingly Sharp weapon.

“This is the result of you refining Five Metals Qi with Jade Cutting Steel.”

Even the Sword Spirit was astonished by this result; in its era, it was unlikely anyone used Jade Cutting Steel as the foundation for the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban.

Subdue Evil Sword Spirit said with emotion, “Normal Five Metals Qi could only enhance your strength and the toughness of your body to the limit, but because of Jade Cutting Steel, your Spiritual Power also carries a hint of Taibai’s Sharp intent.”

“Thus, your body itself has become a weapon!”

Immensely heavy and unbreakable.

Able to sever gold and slice jade, as though it were a sword.

“I didn’t expect it to be so powerful.”

An Jing slowly sat back down on the glazed platform, took a deep breath, and a realization emerged in his heart, “This way, if the Evil Born Demon attacks me again, I could defend myself even without using the Bulletproof Rain Cloak!”

“And if I stimulate the Sword Box with Taibai Fiend Qi, its power will inevitably surge…

If I hit a vital spot, it might even cause a fatal injury!”

“Don’t be too careless,” the Sword Spirit reminded.

“Your Spiritual Power is not abundant, you can’t fight for a long time; if you have a stronger weapon that can kill in one hit, use the stronger weapon.”

“I understand.

But when there is progress in cultivation, one should be happy.”

Taking a deep breath, An Jing prepared to continue meditating.

Time was pressing, and it was rare to have a safe place to cultivate.

He only had one day, and the more strands of Taibai Fiend Qi he could condense, the more confident he would be when returning to Embracing the Void.

“Wait.”

But just as An Jing continued to draw in Spirit Vein Qi and Jade Cutting Steel Evil Qi, the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit suddenly spoke up, “There’s something wrong with this Spirit Vein.”

The Sword Spirit’s usually clear voice took on a gravity, “I felt something strange earlier.”

“But now looking at it, this Spirit Vein…

seems to have a strand of Demonic Qi lurking?”
