Li Hao vanished from the third floor.

When he appeared again, Li Hao was already in another space.

Hmm?

Sensing his new surroundings, Li Hao’s expression shifted.

“This is the fourth level? This is… demonic energy?” said Li Hao in surprise.

What was going on?

In this instant, Li Hao discerned that the space around him was saturated with an incredibly potent demonic energy.

Demonic Qi differed vastly from immortal spiritual Qi. To those on the immortal path, it was profoundly sinister energy. Yet, for demonic cultivators, it served as an elixir, the bedrock of their cultivation. Demonic Qi would integrate within their bodies, becoming an essential part of their cultivation process.

How could such an expanse of rich demonic aura be present here? It should be noted that this was within the Tianxing Sect and specifically the fourth level of the Heaven Execution Pavilion.

Li Hao could not help but wonder.

The Heavenly Pavilion consisted of merely five levels. Discovering such an intense demonic presence on the fourth level was beyond his expectations.

Li Hao lingered in the space for only a brief span before he recognized his own immortal power was rapidly depleting.

The demonic aura seemed to erode Li Hao’s body incessantly, particularly targeting his immortal spiritual power.

Fighting back, Li Hao began to circulate his cultivation power to counteract the corrosive effect. Yet, his efforts only managed to slow down the process.

The surroundings were inundated with ceaseless demonic energy, obscuring his vision and thwarting him from discerning his exact surroundings. Even when Li Hao attempted to utilize his divine sense, it faced substantial restrictions and couldn’t penetrate the space effectively.

Li Hao found himself encompassed by an abyssal darkness.

Feeling wary and apprehensive, Li Hao was plagued by an indefinable sense of danger. There could be potential threats concealed within the obscurity.

Unaware of the situation unfolding on the fourth level, Li Hao remained oblivious to the whereabouts of the entrance to the fifth level.

However, given his current position, Li Hao naturally held the desire to persist until he reached the fifth level of the Sky Pavilion.

Li Hao walked forward tentatively.

Yet, after leaving his initial point, Li Hao spent an hour advancing, only to discover an unending sea of darkness enveloping him. He remained ignorant of the spatial expanse he was traversing.

As he proceeded, Li Hao perceived his immortal spiritual power depleting at an accelerated pace. Perturbed, he continued onwards…

After two more hours, the surrounding demonic energy showed no signs of abating. On the contrary, it surged even more intensely. Remarkably, over half of the immortal spiritual power in Li Hao’s body had vanished within the span of two hours.

The next moment, a Primordial Chaos Pill appeared in Li Hao’s hand.

Li Hao did not have much, but he had more pills.

This particular pill was one of the many Li Hao had previously refined. It served the sole purpose of replenishing his diminished immortal spiritual power.

Li Hao stuffed the pill into his mouth without hesitation.

The pill dissolved on his tongue, prompting a sensation akin to a clear spring coursing through his body.

In an instant, the immortal spiritual power that Li Hao had just consumed filled his body again.

With this intervention complete, Li Hao resumed his progression. While uncertain of his exact direction, he could sense the shifting density of the surrounding demonic aura. It became evident that, with each step, the demonic energy intensified. This indicated that he was likely moving closer to the epicenter of this space.

Hmm?

Suddenly, a distinct message filtered into Li Hao’s consciousness.

Unlike a system notification or communication from others, this was a direct message from a treasure that shared a connection with Li Hao within the system.

It was the Star Demon Sword.

In this instance, the Star Demon Sword in the system was linked to Li Hao. The spirit within the blade appeared to detect Li Hao’s surroundings, subsequently

transmitting a message.

It bore an air of excitement, akin to its anticipation or even a form of jubilation. The message seemed to implore Li Hao to retrieve it.

Upon perceiving the insights concerning the Star Demon Sword, Li Hao found himself momentarily taken aback.

He had really forgotten about this.

The Star Demon Sword was indeed an authentic Demon Sword, bearing the status of an immortal artifact.

In this particular space, suffused with dense demonic aura, it was thriving under the ideal conditions.

In the next moment, Li Hao released the Star Demon Sword without hesitation.

The instant the fiery crimson Star Demon Sword emerged, it began quivering incessantly, resonating with unceasing metallic clinks. It radiated an unusual sense of eagerness.

Observing this, Li Hao refrained from impeding it, allowing the Heart Demon Sword to roam freely as he released his control over it.

In the succeeding moment, Li Hao watched as the Star Demon Sword rapidly weaved around him before coming to a standstill in the void ahead.

Buzz buzz buzz…

A shocking sword intent appeared on the Star Demon Sword, and its sword might was vast.

Subsequently, Li Hao observed an uncanny energy emanating from the Star Demon Sword. The copious demonic aura enshrouding the vicinity surged toward the blade.

Endless demonic aura kept flowing towards the Star Demon Sword. The Star Demon Sword seemed to be at the center, forming a huge vortex that kept devouring these demonic auras.

Li Hao was acutely aware that the Star Demon Sword was undergoing a metamorphosis, becoming more potent as a result of assimilating these demonic energies. This influx seemed to serve as an extraordinary tonic for the Star Demon Sword.

Consequently, the sword energy emanating from the Star Demon Sword grew even more razor-sharp.

The might of the Sword Dao intensified even further.

Li Hao watched this with a faint smile.

The Star Demon Sword appeared to be utilizing the surrounding demonic aura for its own cultivation, much like human practitioners. It seemed that even an immortal artifact like the Star Demon Sword could engage in self-cultivation.

Comparable to human cultivators achieving breakthroughs in their training, the Star Demon Sword, as an immortal artifact with its own spirit, could also undergo a form of cultivation. However, for it, this was not merely a breakthrough, but an elevation.

Previously, despite being an immortal artifact, it was of the lower-grade variety. Yet, in the present moment, by assimilating the demonic aura, it was undergoing a transformation, ascending to the realms of medium-grade and even high-grade immortal artifacts.

However, at this moment, it, which was devouring the demonic aura, was transforming into a medium-grade and high-grade immortal artifact.

In that case, Li Hao was even more relieved.

“I’ll let you devour as much as you want.” Li Hao looked at the Star Demon

Sword and muttered.

Buzz buzz buzz…

The Star Demon Sword kept humming, as if in response to Li Hao.

Subsequently, Li Hao assumed a cross-legged position and gently closed his eyes, entering a state of meditation while patiently waiting.

After a while…

Boom!

A radiant burst of light radiated from the Star Demon Sword. Potent sword energy surged forth, saturated with the boundless essence of demonic aura.

The Star Demon Sword had transitioned from its former status as a low-grade immortal artifact to the higher echelons of a medium-grade immortal artifact..
