Divine Seal: Six Paths of Reincarnation, I am the Crown-Rank Assassin

Chapter 23 Hell Path, Devouring Demon Body
"It's nothing," he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought of Cai'er when she was three years old, absorbing the Reincarnation Furnace; perhaps she was enduring such intense pain at that time.

Therefore, before it can be fully absorbed, the body's protective mechanism is activated, causing the person to fall into a coma.

Yan Qianqiu had forgotten something at this moment.
When Cai'er was three years old, she absorbed the Reincarnation Furnace, but because of the protection of the Heavenly Dao, the pain was not too severe.

The boy looked inward at himself, a look of surprise on his face.

He could feel that the spirit furnace that had not yet manifested within his body had merged with the spirit furnace of the Death's Cry that he had just absorbed, forming a brand new spirit furnace!

The furnace, resembling an altar, emitted hellfire.

There were also chilling howls of evil spirits during the event.

[Hell's Spirit Furnace]

[Possessed by Evil Spirits: Awakens the devoured evil spirits, doubling the body's strength for one hour, followed by a day of excruciating pain as countless ghosts devour the heart.]

[Devouring Demon Body: Absorbs and strengthens itself, exceeding the limits of physical strength.]

[Hell's Bell: Against non-divine beings, the first attack has a chance to trigger instant death; against beings that do not trigger instant death, it inflicts hellfire, scorching their souls...]

Yan Qianqiu was stunned for a moment.

Unlike the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Furnace, the Benevolent Dao Spiritual Furnace does not have strong negative effects.

The Spirit Furnace, the foremost of the Three Evil Paths, is indeed powerful, but its active abilities have exaggeratedly negative effects.

Even so, these three abilities are incredibly powerful!

As expected of the evil path spirit furnace.

Yan Qianqiu sighed inwardly.

This is not to say that the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Furnace is not powerful. This spiritual furnace can guide him onto the most correct path of cultivation, and it can also help him sense external dangers through the [Heavenly Human Perception].

Its auxiliary role outweighs its combat power.

Moreover, he could sense that his understanding of the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Furnace was only superficial.

The Hell Path directly boosts combat power, which may be partly due to its ability to devour the Death Furnace.

Yan Qianqiu's heart stirred.
He took out a sixth-tier Demon Eye Sorcerer's Crystal from his storage ring, activated the Hell Path, and enveloped the Crystal in azure hellfire.

A flash of ghostly flame, and the magic crystal vanished.

The next moment, it appeared in the boy's dantian and on the spirit furnace altar.

Hellfire slowly scorched the magic crystal.

He could feel the spiritual energy outside his body gradually increasing over time.

My abdomen felt hot.

Yan Qianqiu's face showed excitement. Increasing external spiritual power is very difficult, and most magic crystals simply cannot enhance external spiritual power.

However, the Hell Path allows one to burn magic crystals to enhance their physical strength.

"Cai'er, do you feel that there are relics or artifacts in this place that are suitable for you?" The boy looked at the girl beside him.

Although the Sword of Reincarnation is powerful, its negative effects are also terrifying.

"I'll try." She closed her eyes and sensed carefully. "It's over there."

She pointed southeast.

"Okay, let's go."

……

The ruins are unusually large, with overlapping spaces that make it extremely easy to lose one's way.

Following her spiritual senses, Cai'er continued on her way.

A dilapidated, broken-down sky garden constructed from ancient forest trees appeared before the two.

On a hollow ancient tree

The lifeless female elf was pinned to a tree by a short blade, right in the heart.

It's just a mystery why it has remained uncorrupted.

Yan Qianqiu threw the appraisal technique at the female elf's head.

[Eighth-Tier Wood Elf]

[The poor soul who died by the short sword thrown by Hassan the Cursed Wrist...]

As Cai'er walked through the sky garden and looked up at the short sword...
The short sword cast a misty shadow.
As if activated at that moment, the wood elf's corpse turned to ashes in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace beneath the tree roots.

The man in black suddenly appeared next to the short sword.

Its movements were stiff as it reached for the short sword.

Its speed increased rapidly. A flash of darkness!
He appeared behind Cai'er in an instant.

"Cai'er, be careful!"

Yan Qianqiu reacted quickly, wielding the Dongyue sword and slashing down at the man in black, but the heavy sword missed its mark.

He looked surprised.

The heavy sword pierced the man in black's head, but there was no actual feedback whatsoever. This strange disorientation made people feel somewhat strange.

A short sword appeared in Cai'er's hand without her noticing.

[Secret Technique: Shadow Clone]

A shadow identical to the girl's appeared beside her, simultaneously launching an attack on the man in black, and a close-quarters battle ensued.

[A mind-numbingly loud sound!]

[Overlord's Thorn]

Cai'er opened her mouth, and a silent, high-frequency sound wave poured out in all directions. This sound wave was not something that normal people could hear.

However, it can make them mentally agitated and their spiritual energy disordered.

Within thirty seconds, the shadow clone possessed almost identical real spiritual power to its master, and the two simultaneously launched an attack on the man in black.

Despite the extreme danger, the outcome was decided in just a few exchanges.

The short sword was embedded in the black-clad man's chest, near his heart, while the shadow clone, wielding a spiritual weapon, pierced through his brain.

Cai'er landed gracefully.

This is the fighting style of traditional assassins: they remain silent until they strike, then strike with astonishing force, their powerful burst of power enough to decide the outcome in a short time.

Of course, this is also because the men in black are not strong enough.

While being crispy, it was also suppressed by Cai'er, who possessed the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace.

Yan Qianqiu knew very well that even if Cai'er didn't use the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, the passive characteristics of the first-level spirit furnace would give the girl almost unparalleled penetrating power.

This penetration,
To be precise, it is the rudimentary form of purifying the opponent's spiritual power!

He had already discovered that the spirits born here were related to the strength of those being tested.

The battle seemed to be resolved so easily, but if Cai'er didn't have the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, it would have been difficult for her to defeat the man in black.

"Don't worry." A smile appeared on Cai'er's lips.

She picked up the weapon the man in black was using. This weapon was more exquisite and smaller than a short sword, and it exuded an extremely sharp aura. It was cold to the touch.

Its quality surpasses even that of its own brilliant short sword.

Yan Qianqiu demonstrates his appraisal skills.

[Hidden Short Blade - One of the Twelve]

[Hassan's legendary assassination gear, the Cursed Arm: collecting all twelve short blades qualifies it for a near-epic rank...]

The next level after Brilliant equipment is Legendary equipment, which the young man was well aware of.

"Why do I feel like this weapon isn't quite right to use?" Cai'er held the short blade and thrust it forward, but she still had a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Maybe I'm not familiar with it yet." She didn't think too much about it.

The equipment from that glorious era is simply too old.

The weapon designs are somewhat different from those of today.

"Is it possible that this is a throwing weapon?" Yan Qianqiu reminded him.

Cai'er's eyes lit up.

She held the hidden short blade and threw it forward.

The short blade seemed to disappear into space; by the time its shape was seen, it had already vanished into the ancient tree.

A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face.

She realized that if the man in black had used his weapon in that manner, it could have been life-threatening for her.

But given that the men in black almost always use daggers in close combat, how come this is a throwing dagger?
"So that's how it is." Cai'er stepped forward, placed her hand on the ancient tree, and spiritual energy surged, causing the throwing dagger to reappear in her hand.

"Brother Qianqiu is so smart!" The girl ran over quickly and grabbed his big hand.

I don't know when,

A portal of light appeared behind the two, which was the entrance where Yan Qianqiu and Cai'er had arrived earlier.

The two looked at each other,
"It's time to leave."

"it is good."
