Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1920

Chapter 1920 Smoldering Desert

"This is my first time hearing about such a demon. Can you tell me more about it?" Yuan asked.

Sun Ling Cai nodded and said, "Then let me tell you what the Nine Heavens Law and Order told us. They claimed this demon was only at the Spirit King level when they first encountered it. Yet, this demon was able to overpower several immortals who have restricted their cultivation to the Divine King realm."

"The demon wielded two Soul Weapons, a spear and a sword. They even claimed the demon was able to use Enhanced Sword Aura. They also claimed that this demon was able to regenerate from complete annihilation and even had the aura of a beast. Ridiculous, isn't it? Who would believe that such a demon would exist?"

It was common knowledge that demons don't use weapons, let alone Soul Weapons, and if they did, these weapons would be crafted from their own blood. Moreover, a demon using Sword Aura was unheard of, much less Enhanced Sword Aura.

"I have never heard of a demon using Soul Weapons before," Yuan remarked.

"Right?"

Sun Ling Cai suddenly fell silent.

After a slight pause, she looked at Yuan with a doubtful expression and spoke, "Now that I think about it, are you suppressing your true cultivation? There's no way you're only at the second level of Spirit Enlightenment, right? After all, you were able to overpower those Demon Worshippers, who were all Divine Lords."

"I'll leave that to your imagination," Yuan calmly responded.

"..."

'Even if he's suppressed his cultivation, it still wouldn't make sense how he was able to fight several Demon Worshippers who were four realms stronger than him…' Sun Ling Cai thought to herself.

Even if Yuan were a Cultivation God, since he suppressed his cultivation to Spirit Enlightenment, his prowess would only be around that level. Even if his techniques were superior, it would be extremely hard to compensate for four entire realms of power difference.

'His prowess is similar to that demon…'

Although Sun Ling Cai compared Yuan's fighting prowess to the demon, she didn't entertain the possibility that they were the same individual, even for a split second. Sometime later, they arrived at the Smoldering Desert, a vast, desolate expanse where the air shimmered with intense heat and the landscape stretched endlessly with blazing sand dunes.

There was no sign of civilization—only scorching winds, searing sunlight, and the ever-present danger of magical beasts that had long adapted to the harsh environment.

"How are you feeling? If the heat becomes too unbearable, let me know," Sun Ling Cai said as she veiled her body with a thick layer of spiritual energy that was constantly being melted away from the intense heat.

"I'll be fine," Yuan calmly responded. Due to his Fire Harmony, not only did he not feel the heat, but it was even comfortable for him.

'The way the heat is naturally being absorbed into his body… no way… he's achieved Fire Harmony…?' Sun Ling Cai swallowed nervously after realizing this. There was almost no doubt in her mind that Yuan was hiding his true cultivation, as she couldn't fathom someone at the Spirit Enlightenment achieving Fire Harmony.
