Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2437

Chapter 2437: A Small Experiment

"My master said he’ll be staying in there for a few days to test the waters," said the Demon Annihilation Sword the moment she returned to the others.

Gutou then spoke, "Umm... do you still need me? If not, I’ll return home."

Lev then said, "Why don’t you wait for Yuan to return before leaving? Don’t worry, we won’t tell you to come into Death Paradise with us."

Gutou nodded, and they patiently waited for Yuan to return. In the meantime, they fought off the Sea Devils that attacked them. Or more specifically, Lev dealt with the Sea Devils while the others watched.

Of course, nobody asked him to be the guard, but he didn’t want to feel like pointless luggage and volunteered to fight.

As for the Sea Devils that he couldn’t deal with, Gutou would help out, as he was a True God.

One might assume that remaining within the water would shield the Sea Devils from the Demon God’s Ordeal, but even they were not spared from the phenomenon.

Fortunately, very few Sea Devils dared to venture so close to Death Paradise, and they would only encounter two to three of them a day.

Meanwhile, Yuan continued to strengthen his Demonic Awakening through Demon God’s Ordeal. Of course, he wasn’t completely focused on cultivation and also tried to understand it.

’The Demon God’s Ordeal... it completely kills one’s blood. No wonder it’s so deadly to demons...’

Yuan finally understood why demons couldn’t survive it despite their regeneration, as this phenomenon directly seals their power.

Although it may seem as though demons possess limitless blood, in reality, they are merely duplicating it, and their bodies generate new blood at a rate several times faster than that of humans.

Their blood also possesses an innate self-duplication ability, automatically replicating when it senses imminent destruction, almost like a passive skill. Because of this, attempting to destroy it is futile unless one can annihilate every last trace of their blood in an instant, or seal their passive skill, exactly what the Demon God’s Ordeal does.

As for why Yuan wasn’t being affected... In truth, the phenomenon definitely affected him, so it was constantly destroying his blood.

However, Yuan’s regeneration was not ordinary, and after achieving Transcended Renewal, it was able to bypass even Demon God’s Ordeal. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’In a sense, this power is similar to Demon Sealing Aura, but instead of sealing their blood, it directly destroys them.’

Suddenly, Yuan suddenly felt lighter, as if his mind was ascending, and a second later, he entered a trance-like state... or what cultivators called enlightenment.

As the creator of Demon Sealing Aura, nobody in this world understood such powers better than him.

A few days later—

<Your understanding of Demon Sealing Aura has transcended>

Yuan opened his eyes, and a profound light flickered within.

He unleashed some of his Demon Sealing Aura, and the same energy coming from Demon God’s Ordeal emanated from it.

"With this power, I no longer need to completely overwhelm the demons or use Eternal Essence to kill them..." he muttered with a smile on his face.

Although Yuan wanted to cultivate his Demonic Awakening more, the process was painfully slow, and he anticipated that he’d need to cultivate hundreds of years before he would see any real improvement.

Thus, he decided to leave for now and return to the others.

"How was it?" Supreme Ruler Dena asked when Yuan returned to them.

He proceeded to explain his discovery with them.

"The phenomenon is not natural but caused by the Demon God?!" Suprem Ruler Grant cried out loud, his voice full of disbelief.

"That’s impossible! Why would the Demon God create something harmful to his own creation and put it here?!"

Yuan shrugged, "How would I know? If you’re curious, you should ask the Demon God himself."

"I...!" Supreme Ruler Grant immediately fell silent.

"So, do you think we will be able to follow you into Death Paradise? Or is it impossible after all?" Lev suddenly asked.

Yuan pondered for a moment before responding, "Although the poison is strong, it won’t immediately kill you. At your level, you’ll be dead in a few weeks. At Dena and Grant’s level, they will definitely be able to survive long enough for us to do whatever we need to do."

"So I have to stay behind, huh?" Lev sighed, looking disappointed that he couldn’t follow them into Death Paradise, unaware that he no longer feared danger, even welcoming it.

"You are more than welcomed to stay at my island until they return," Gutou suddenly offered Lev a place to stay.

Lev nodded, "Thanks. I’ll do just that then."

However, Yuan said a second later, "I might be able to shield you from the poison."

"Really?!" Lev’s eyes immediately started glowing with hope.

"Come with me. I want to test it out first."

Lev nodded and eagerly followed Yuan into Death Paradise to participate in his experiment.

"So this is Death Paradise, huh? I never even imagined myself being anywhere near this place, yet here I am..." Lev muttered.

"How does it feel?" Yuan asked him.

"Well, I can feel myself slowly dying, if that’s what you meant," he responded in a somewhat joking tone.

"Let’s wait a few days before we start the experiment."

"Alright."

Yuan proceeded to spend an entire week examining Lev’s condition, watching his health deteriorating at a rapid rate.

"This is my first time seeing a demon looking sick," Yuan remarked. "How are you feeling now?"
